one night, after helping jeongguk wash up, yoongi turned the water on to fill the tub for a bubble bath. while the water was running, he poured a capful of the liquid and let it be.
jeongguk, meanwhile, was sitting on the counter next to the sink, watching while waiting for yoongi to help him brush his teeth, and his eyes caught the rising bubbles in the tub.
"oh!"
"that's bubble bath, baby," yoongi said as he put the bottle back in the cupboard under the sink. "it's like your normal bath, but with bubbles. i just got the liquid today, so you can try next time, okay?"
"kay!" jeongguk agreed.
seokjin came to check in on them and get jeongguk ready for bed while yoongi took a bath. once jeongguk brushed his teeth, he kissed yoongi's cheek and waved at him.
"dada fun!"
"well, i guess a bath can be fun," yoongi said as he laughed. "thank you, baby. we'll have fun together next time, okay?"
"kay!"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
the next night after dinner, jeongguk turned to look at yoongi.
"bubbles?"
yoongi chuckled. "baby is excited, huh?" he asked. "i can't tonight, baby. it's not good to take a bubble bath everyday, but why don't you take a bath with appa tonight?"
jeongguk pouted when yoongi said he couldn't, but then brightened up again. "kay!" he exclaimed cheerily, then turned to seokjin. "bubbles, papa!"
seokjin chuckled. "okay, baby."
"you guys go on," yoongi said. "i'll wash the dishes."
"thanks, yoongi," seokjin said. he picked jeongguk up from his chair and held him close. "say thank you, baby."
"ankie, dada!"
yoongi waved at them as they went to the bathroom. seokjin set jeongguk down on the floor and went to turn the tap on to fill the bathtub.
"okay, i should ask--" seokjin turned, about to ask yoongi where he kept the bubble bath liquid, but saw jeongguk standing next to him, holding onto the bottle. "right. why am i even surprised anymore?"
jeongguk climbed up the bathroom stool, put the bottle on the ledge of the tub, and opened the bottle before pouring a bit of the liquid into the water, then closing the bottle again. he turned towards seokjin and grinned, beaming proudly.
"good job, ggukie," seokjin praised as he petted jeongguk's head.
yoongi checked on them after he was done washing the dishes and tidying up the kitchen, and found the two relaxing in the bath. seokjin was leaning against the tub, arms spread over the edge as he sighed, and jeongguk was sat on his lap, leaning back against seokjin's chest as he sighed.
"why are you two such grandpas in the bath?"
"everyone's an old man at heart, yoongi."
