"Hey, Kookie, are you ready? We gotta go...uncle Hobi is gonna be here any minute" Namjoon called to his son, Jungkook.
Jungkook came running to the living room, he was not wearing his costume.
"Hey, where's the costume?" Namjoon questioned,
"It's itchy." Jungkook pouted, the boy's pout could always make Namjoon laugh.
Namjoon put his papers away "Did you try the long sleeves underneath?"
Jungkook nodded "I don't want to be Batman anymore."
"Why not?" Namjoon questioned,
"I don't know.." Jungkook shrugged, "he's not that good"
"What did uncle Tae tell you?" Namjoon looked at the boy in front of him, who just yesterday told each one of his uncles about his Batman costume and how he's gonna beat the bad guys.
"Nothing!" Jungkook hurried to say,
Namjoon sighed "Okay, well, you have to make up your mind, okay?"
"Okay." Jungkook nodded again,
"You did a good job on the cookies." Namjoon smiled, taking and opening the small box in his hands,
"Teamwork, right?" Jungkook said,
"Teamwork," Namjoon smirked, he held his fist up so Jungkook will bump it, he did.
"Can I have one?" Jungkook asked shyly,
"You want a cookie?" Namjoon asked,
Jungkook nodded.
"Can I have a cookie too?" Namjoon asked his son,
"Yeah" Jungkook smiled,
"Which do you want," Namjoon asked "black cat or a pumpkin?"
"Black cat."
"Good choice." Namjoon handed Jungkook a black cat cookie from the box of cookie they baked earlier for Yoongi's Halloween party.
"OK kiddo, let's go, we can pick a costume later" Namjoon scooped the boy into his arms, holding him with one hand and in the other hand he had the box of cookies,
"Hey!" Jung Hoseok said when they got into the car "where's your costume, Kookie?"
"I don't like it" Jungkook said,
"Well, I'm sure we can find something else in uncle Yoongi's closet" Hoseok calmed him down, starting the car to drive toward his and Yoongi's house.
When they arrived to Hoseok's house everyone was already there, Namjoon was the only one who had a kid out of the group, and was thankful that his friends have never left his side and even went as far to be the best uncles for his little boy,
"Jungkook!" Jimin called "Where's your costume?"
"It's itchy!" Jungkook explained, Jimin pouted.
"Hey Kook, you wanna go look for a costume in my closet?" Yoongii,Hoseokk's boyfriend, offered.
"Can I? Can I please daddy???" Jungkook looked at Namjoon with his big puppy eyes, Namjoon had no idea where got them from.
"Sure, but don't annoy Yoongi"
"I won't!!" Jungkook called as he ran after Yoongi,
"You ok?" Jimin asked,
"Yeah, of course," Namjoon knew why they were all worried about him, of course, but he was trying.
"It's his first Halloween since..." Taehyung tried not to say the word "you know.."
"Since Jin's death, it's ok, you can say it, Tae." Namjoon sighed.
A year ago Namjoon was happily married to Kim SeokJin, his high school sweetheart, they were raising Jungkook, their son, together.
That was until a year ago when a terrible car crash left Namjoon a single parent.
"How are you and Kookie holding up?" Hoseok asked,
"We're fine," Namjoon sighed again "Jungkook misses him, but I need to be strong for him."
"Yoongi and I are here for you, you know it."Hoseokk put his hand on Namjoon's shoulder.
Namjoon looked down "I know, thanks, guys."
"Ok," Yoongi walked into the living room "Kookie is ready for his big entrance."
"Dad, don't look at me!" Jungkook called from the hall,
"I'm not looking." Namjoon covered his eyes with his hands,
When Jungkook walked into the room and Namjoon could finally take his hands off his eyes, he saw that Jungkook wore a hand-made mask on his face and a stethoscope from Hoseok's costume around his neck, he was wearing one of Yoongi's buttoned-down white shirts, which on Jungkook looked like a dress.
"Whoa, that is definitely not Batman." Namjoon said, he was amazed,
"He's not a real superhero," Jungkook said,
"He's not? Okay" Namjoon grinned "are you..the scary mask-man from the movie we saw yesterday?"
"You mean the movie I told you not to let him watch?" Hoseok raised an eyebrow,
"Oops" Namjoon and Jungkook giggled,
"I am going to kill you Kim Namjoon- "
"After I'll find out what Jungkookie is," Namjoon said "Kookie, are you...the doctor from Frankenstein?"
Jungkook shook his head "Daddy! No!"
"Ok then, I give up, who are you supposed to be?"
"I'm you, daddy!" Jungkook said with a smile,
"You're...me?" Namjoon asked in disbelief, he worked as a vet, Jungkook often came with him to work and helped him take care of the animals.
"Ah-huh" Jungkook nodded with a smile "I even have a stetho- ste- what was it called again uncle Yoongi?"
"A stethoscope" Yoongi tried to hide his smirk,
"Kookie, this is amazing." Namjoon picked up his son, he couldn't help it but start crying,
"Why are crying, daddy? Are you thinking about oppa?" Jungkook asked,
"No sweetheart, I'm crying tears of joy because you look so adorable!" Namjoon answered, but there was a part of his brain who thought about Jin and how he wasn't here to see their son.
"Oh."
"Hey Kookie, how about you and I go for an early trick-or-treating?" Jimin offered,
"Can I?" Jungkook looked at his dad,
"Of course"
"I'll come with you," Tae called as he ran after the two boys, closing the door after him.
"I just wish Jin could be here with us" Namjoon said, voice choked with tears
"He is here, he's still with us."
