The living room was lively with Taehyung, Jungkook, Jimin, and Jin lounging comfortably, the latter two engrossed in conversation while Jungkook sipped contentedly on his banana milk, perched on Taehyung's lap. His cheeks puffed adorably with each sip, eliciting occasional coos from Jimin.

Suddenly, J-Hope staggered into the room like a man who had fought a war and lost. With dramatic flair, he flopped onto the sofa and sighed so loudly that it drew everyone's attention.

Jimin raised an eyebrow. "Hobi hyung, what happened? You look like a panda who lost a fight with sleep."

Hoseok dramatically threw an arm over his eyes. "Oh, you wouldn't believe the night I've had!"

 He peeked through his arm, sighing as if he carried the weight of the world. "Let me tell you about the hell I went through last night. Our dear Majesty here"—he pointed accusingly at Taehyung—"called me at midnight, interrupting my beauty sleep, and ordered me to buy a fridge. Not just any fridge—a brand-new one—and then fill it with banana milk!"

Jin gasped, and Jimin clapped a hand over his mouth. "Wait... you bought that fridge?"

"Not just bought it," Hoseok wailed. "I scoured the entire Lunar kingdom to find banana milk. Then I had to bribe a shopkeeper to open his store so I could buy a fridge. I didn't sleep a wink, and now look at me!" He gestured wildly to the dark circles under his eyes. "A panda! I'm a panda! And all because His Majesty here"—he pointed accusingly at Taehyung, who was serenely stroking Jungkook's hair—"threatened to send me to the forest with no mate, my amy,  if I didn't finish before dawn."

Jungkook blinked, eyes darting from Hoseok to Taehyung, his bunny-like curiosity piqued. "Tae...hyungie?"

Taehyung, unfazed, leaned down and pressed a quick kiss to Jungkook's lips. "Hmm?"

Jungkook's eyes widened, and his face turned red as a tomato. He buried his face in Taehyung's chest, muffling his voice. "T-They saw!"

Jin and Jimin cooed at the sight, while Hoseok groaned, slumping even further into the sofa. "I can't with these two. Someone get me a pillow; I'll just live here now."

Just then, a maid entered. "Breakfast is ready, Your Majesty."

Everyone stood, but Taehyung scooped Jungkook up, carrying him effortlessly toward the dining room.

"I can walk"  Jungkook protested, wiggling slightly in his hold.

"I know," Taehyung replied simply, making the bunny pout adorably.

At the dining table, they settled into their usual spots. Jungkook sat beside Taehyung, happily munching on the sandwich Taehyung had put for him. Namjoon and Yoongi entered, taking their seats, with Namjoon sitting directly across from Jungkook.

"Good morning, Kook," Namjoon greeted, offering a warm smile.

Jungkook, however, merely huffed and turned his head dramatically.

Namjoon's smile faltered. "What did I do?" he asked, genuinely baffled.

Everyone's attention shifted to the scene, their curiosity piqued.

Jungkook pouted, pointing his sandwich at Namjoon. "Pretty Hyungie, tell him I'm angry with him. Because of him, Taehyungie didn't talk to me!"

Namjoon's jaw dropped. "What?! Kook, I didn't—"

Taehyung smirked, cutting him off smoothly. "It's true, baby. It's all his fault."

Jungkook nodded in agreement, leaving Namjoon flabbergasted while the others tried to stifle their laughter.

"I was only trying to help!" Namjoon defended himself and pounted lookig at others

------------------------------

The living room was buzzing with laughter as everyone gathered after breakfast. Jungkook, now seated comfortably between Jimin and Yoongi, was happily chatting with his hyungs. He gestured animatedly, still riding the high of his earlier banana milk surprise.

"Tae Hyungie really threatened Hobi-hyung to get the fridge?" Jungkook giggled, his bunny smile in full force.

Hoseok groaned from the armchair. "Don't remind me! I'm still recovering from the trauma."

Everyone chuckled, except for Yoongi, who simply sipped his coffee, muttering, "You'll live."

Just then, Namjoon walked in, carrying a large covered box. His steps were cautious, almost as if he wasn't sure what he was doing.

"Namjoon-hyung, what's that?" Jimin asked, raising a curious brow.

Namjoon cleared his throat, looking a bit sheepish. "Uh...a surprise for Kook."

Jungkook's eyes lit up instantly. "A surprise? For me?"

Namjoon set the box down and lifted the lid, revealing a glass tank with two small crabs scuttling around inside. The room went silent.

"...Crabs?" Jimin finally said, blinking in confusion.

Namjoon scratched the back of his neck nervously. "Yeah, crabs. I didn't know what to get Kook, and I panicked. I saw these at the pet shop and thought, why not?" He hesitated. "Honestly, I didn't think he'd actually like them..."

Jungkook, however, was already leaning in with sparkling doe eyes. "Hyung, they're adorable!"

Everyone turned to stare at him like he'd grown a second head.

"Adorable?" Yoongi repeated, his voice dripping with disbelief. "They're crabs, Kook."

Jungkook nodded enthusiastically, pressing his face close to the tank. "Look at their little legs! And their cute eyes! They're perfect!"

Taehyung, watching from the side, and rolled his eyes. "Of course, my bun would find crabs cute."

Namjoon let out a sigh of relief. "Thank God. I thought you'd hate them."

Jungkook pouted. "Why would I hate them? They're part of the family now!"

Hoseok leaned over, squinting at the crabs. "They don't do much, though."

"They don't need to!" Jungkook declared. "They're just here to look cute and live their best crabby lives."

Jimin chuckled, shaking his head. "Alright, Kook. What are you going to name them?"

Jungkook tapped his chin thoughtfully, then his eyes sparkled. "This one will be Tiny" he said, pointing to the smaller crab. "And the bigger one will be Taco!"

Yoongi snorted. "Of course, you'd name one after food."

Jungkook stuck out his tongue. "They're cute names!"

Namjoon sat down, finally relaxing. "I'm just glad you like them. I was sweating bullets thinking I'd made a mistake."

"You made the best choice, Hyungie and you are forgiven!" Jungkook grinned, holding up the tank. "Now I'll take care of them forever!"

The room fell silent for a moment as everyone processed Jungkook's enthusiasm.

Finally, Yoongi broke the quiet, leaning back in his seat with a smirk. "I told you. He's a weird kid."

The others burst out laughing, while Jungkook huffed, cradling the crab tank like it was the most precious thing in the world.

"I'm not weird," he mumbled, but his flushed cheeks gave him away.

Taehyung pulled him into his lap, kissing the top of his head. 

The living room was filled with laughter as Jungkook sat on the floor, fully engrossed in watching his new crabs, Tiny and Taco, scuttle around in their tank. He cooed every time one of them moved, his excitement making everyone smile—well, almost everyone.

Taehyung, seated on the couch, watched the scene with a growing frown. His arms were crossed, and his jaw tightened every time Jungkook giggled over the crabs.

"Look, Taco is climbing the rock!" Jungkook pointed excitedly, his bunny smile wide.

Taehyung let out a dramatic sigh, leaning closer. "Bun, don't you think you've given them enough attention? They're crabs, not performers."

Jungkook didn't even look up. "But they're so cute, Tae Hyungie! Look at their little claws!"

Taehyung's eye twitched. "I have little claws too," he muttered under his breath.

Hoseok, catching on, grinned. "Uh-oh, someone's jealous."

Taehyung shot him a look. "I am not jealous of crabs."

Jimin snickered. "Sure, you're not."

Namjoon smirked. "This is gold. "

Jungkook finally looked up, tilting his head. "TaeTae, are you mad at my crabys?"

"No, baby," Taehyung said quickly, but then he huffed. "I'm just saying, they don't even cuddle you back."

Jungkook giggled, setting the tank gently on the coffee table before crawling into Taehyung's lap. "Aww, is my big, strong alpha jealous of tiny crabs?"

Taehyung pouted. "I'm not jealous. I just think your attention should be on me." He nuzzled Jungkook's neck, wrapping his arms around him. "I'm your mate, remember?"

"You're so dramatic, Tae hyungiee," Jungkook giggled  "Don't worry. You'll always be my number one."

Taehyung's pout softened into a smug smile as he pulled Jungkook closer. "Good. Because if I catch those crabs stealing my bun, they're going back to the ocean."

Yoongi, sipping his coffee, smirked. "Yeah, that'll show them."

The room erupted in laughter, while Taehyung held Jungkook tight.

From the corner, Tiny and Taco continued their scuttling, blissfully unaware of the chaos they'd caused.
