Even though they've been talking about the next generation from the start, there's still something about hearing his parents' generation be referred to as grandparents that throws Jungkook into immediate giggles. Grandparents seems to imply a time when the current adult generation's hold on society will have passed, when they shift into taking a backseat, when they have more time to focus on smaller joys, like their grandchildren.
Jungkook can't help but long for that time. Adulthood will probably mean a loss of certain freedoms, Jungkook knows. It'll be stressful to suddenly be responsible for the direction of his life, to be the one wholly culpable if any decisions are made poorly. But Jungkook can't help but think that it'll be better than where they are now, carefully pressured underneath their parents' thumbs.
He doesn't dwell on the thought for too long, attention quickly pulled to the tank when Yoongi points out a large fish, its shadow flickering over the floor as it swims around in the tank.
"Wow..." Jungkook marvels, eyes wide as he presses himself right up against the glass. "It probably could? Unless it doesn't have teeth. It can definitely at least kill a person. Man, the ocean's cool."
