Better Together (Taegguk)
14
Two months had passed, and Taehyung's life had settled into a peaceful routine.
After the marriage proposal from the Han family was officially canceled by Mrs. Kim, Taehyung finally felt at ease. Mrs. Han, however, did not take the rejection well.
Had given Mrs. Kim an attitude, declaring, “You won’t find anyone better than my son.” But Mrs. Kim, firm in her decision, brushed off the rude comment.
Every morning, Taehyung woke up early to head to work, following a comforting routine. He’d eat a light breakfast, greet his parents before leaving, and spend his day teaching at the school.
In the evening, he’d return home, enjoy a simple dinner with his family, and then retreat to his room to rest, only to repeat the same routine the next day.
There was no drama, no pressure about marriage, just peace.
But today was different. In the Jeon household, the air was filled with excitement as it marked Taeyeon and Mingyu's 8th wedding anniversary.
Taeyeon, with her usual grace, was getting Mina ready for school, helping her into her uniform and brushing her hair.
Taeyeon
Mina, sit still for just a moment, sweetheart.
Taeyeon
I need to tie your hair properly. You want to look your best for school, don’t you?
Mina
Yes, mommy! And after school, can we have cake to celebrate your anniversary?
Taeyeon laughed softly, her heart swelling with affection for her daughter.
Taeyeon
We’ll see about that, darling. Maybe if you're good at school today, we can have a small celebration when we come back.
Mingyu had taken the day off to spend it with his wife. He watched from the doorway, leaning against the frame with a fond smile as Taeyeon finished getting Mina ready.
Jeon Mingyu
I think she’s already promised herself a slice of cake.
Taeyeon
I wouldn’t be surprised. She’s just like you when it comes to sweets.
Mina
Daddy likes cake too!
Mingyu chuckled, pushing off the doorframe to join his wife and daughter.
He bent down to kiss Mina on the forehead before turning to Taeyeon, his voice softer, more intimate.
Jeon Mingyu
Happy anniversary, Taeyeon. I’m glad we get to spend the whole day together.
Taeyeon’s heart fluttered at his words, and she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
Taeyeon
Happy anniversary, Mingyu. It feels like time has flown by, doesn’t it?
Jeon Mingyu
Eight years, and still feels like we’ve just begun.
Mina
I’m ready for school now!
Taeyeon
Alright, Mina. Go get your bag. It’s time to head out.
Jeon Mingyu
I’ve already arranged everything for today. Minseo will stay with Mom.
Jeon Mingyu
Dad’s picking up Mina from school so we don’t have to rush back. We have the whole day to ourselves.
Taeyeon smiled, feeling a wave of gratitude for Mingyu’s thoughtfulness.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Mrs. Jeon was busy preparing breakfast when Taeyeon handed Minseo over to her.
The infant cooed happily, already a favorite in the Jeon household. Mrs. Jeon beamed at her granddaughter, cradling her close.
Mrs Jeon
Oh, my little angel, you’re going to spend the day with Grandma, aren’t you?
Mrs Jeon
We’re going to have so much fun, just the two of us.
Minseo gave her grandmother a toothless smile, her chubby arms reaching out as if to agree.

Taekook's relationship will be built on the cost of this lovely family. Thinking about it, it's better if Tae finds himself some other JK and this family remains happy and healthy
