So maybe Yoongi's a little caught up. Maybe this isn't exactly the Kodak moment he wants it to be, and maybe it's a little too unrealistic to expect Jungkook to just come out and say his name again when everything about the moment was completely spontaneous. When it's obvious the bunny doesn't really understand what happened to him, if his big, blank eyes and startled expression are anything to go by. It's as if his mouth worked too fast for the rest of him to comprehend, not even actively trying to say Yoongi's name. But he did. He did, he actually spoke, said something loud and clear and Yoongi doesn't really know how to address the excitement and pride continuing to bubble up the more he plays the scene over again in his head. Trying to remember exactly how Jungkook sounded, how he worked through the syllables, and how fucking adorable was his pronunciation?
And then, just as quickly, Jungkook seems to revert back to his usual self, wriggling about impatiently in Yoongi's arms and reaching out his arms toward something further down the aisle, using body language instead of talking to communicate. The moment Yoongi hears those urgent little sounds--bunny sounds--something in him deflates slightly. It isn't disappointment exactly, because he's never been disappointed in Jungkook, but it leaves behind a bit of longing Yoongi firmly tries to push away. Again, what did he expect? Just because Jungkook said his first word out of the blue doesn't mean he's capable of using language comfortably now, certainly doesn't mean he'll say whatever Yoongi wants just because he asks him to. This is all still so new for him. He still has so much growing left to do. Yoongi reminds himself that he has to be patient with him. Forcing the maturation process won't do Jungkook any good, won't make him feel any more safe or loved. All he can do is support the bun no matter what, and along the way help him get to the point where he'll be able to fully express all his thoughts, feelings, wants.
For now, all Jungkook's wants seem to be wrapped up in whatever's got his undivided attention, whatever he apparently wants Yoongi to see too. It's then that Yoongi realizes rather dumbly why Jungkook even spoke up at all--carrot juice. Specifically, carrot juice that Yoongi was rudely ignoring. He supposes he should have known carrots would be involved--Jungkook rarely gets this worked up about anything else. Shaking his head in amusement, Yoongi settles the baby bun on his hip and dutifully brings their shopping cart closer to the bottles of bright orange juices on display. There's more, of course, reds and greens and purples, but the oranges certainly look the nicest to Yoongi, especially with the cute carrot logo on the front. They're kid-sized, maybe a little big still for Jungkook's hands, but that doesn't stop Yoongi from plucking one out of the shelf and offering it to the other to investigate. "It's carrot juice, Kook. You drink it instead of eating it. See?" He points out the little straw attached to the bottle. "Should we take some home with us?"
