There was no lead up to the question.
Jeongguk was playing with his dinosaurs and Barbie dolls, pretending that his lego city was under attack, and Barbie and her squad had to save the day. Jimin sat on the couch, pretending to study for his Chinese and English test that were both in a few days. Really he was browsing through some web comics on his phone.
They were both doing normal things. There was no lead up or any specific prompting to Jeongguk’s sudden question.
“Jiminnie?” the child paused Barbie’s battle to look up at the preteen.
“Hm?” Jimin continued to scroll.
“Are you and Taehyung gonna get married?”
“Ye–wha what?” The phone slipped out of Jimin’s hand, hitting his textbook with an unsatisfying dull bang. “Who?”
Jeongguk kept his gaze steady. “You and TaeTae getting married?”
Usually Jimin was on top when it came to Jeongguk’s weird questions, always able to answer them, but this one he found himself flopping around instead. “Uh, wha—”
“I wanna marry you two, too,” Jeongguk said, and with that, Barbie resumed her battle to save the city from total destruction.
Jimin didn’t question him any further, not sure what to say.
He found it hard to study when he realized he wasn’t sure what his answer should be to Jeongguk’s question.
