one son, his little baby boy, the brightest star in his life
kim vernon, five years old
namjoon is going to raise such a sweet, intelligent, well-rounded kid
he understands that vern is just a kid, but joon doesn’t dumb things down to him
he’s always earnest and explains things as throughout as he can
and vernon is a curious little bub so he’s always asking questions about anything and everything
he looks at namjoon like he hung the moon himself
his dad is his number one role model, his idol, his confidant
and he loves his mom too, don’t get it wrong, but he’s got a special father-son connection with his dad that he just loves so much he loves joon
the three of you are such a precious, happy little family
vernon doesn’t even complain that he doesn’t have any younger siblings because he gets to spend more time with the both of you
and he has the other members’ kids to hang out with
frequent walks around the city with the both of you
joon likes holding vern’s hand and it’s adorable because joon is so tall and vernon is so small
namjoon always encourages all of his endeavors and interests and to explore the world
he wants to teach his kid that all he has to be is himself and that’s enough
and i think joon is probably the best teacher for that
so vernon is always curious, open-minded, and level-headed
he’s really just a tiny joon rip
and i say tiny relatively speaking because he is just a kid but namjoon’s genes look pretty strong so i wouldn’t be surprised if his kid grew exponentially lmao
even if you’re a bit on the shorter end, vernon probably won’t be
kid’s gonna grow to be all legs like his dad
but for right now, joon is the super tall one in the family, so vernon like’s holding on him
i mean physically clinging onto joon and taking advantage of his height
whether it be piggy back rides
or having his dad spin him around
they tried the whole sitting on his shoulder thing but you’ve learned since then that that method is… dangerous for everyone involved
they’re both bright, but they’re also equally as clumsy
so yes he’s the cutest kid to ever grace the earth
joon’s the type of dad to lay on the ground in an old white t-shirt and let is kid draw all over it
if you thought namjoon had an overgrown collection of ryan plushes, then you should meet kim vernon
he LOVES plush pillows more than namjoon
which means namjoon finds any excuse to buy some for him
plushies for his birthday
when he comes back from tour/promotions
on the first day of school
he loves buying him plush pillows
you know that pic of tae on joon’s bed and you can see all the ryan pillows surrounding him
yeah that’s vernon bed times ten
the kid could sleep on the pillows, cover himself with them, and still have thirty more chilling around the bed post
nap time with them is the best because you’re just surrounded by a million soft, cute, character pillows
he’ll cuddle up to you in the middle of the kitchen
he’ll cuddle up to joon in the middle of rehearsal
he’ll cuddle up to any of the member’s on a long car ride
he’s just a soft boy who likes to be cuddled when he’s tired )):
vernon also becomes an official part of kim daily
joon dresses the in matching outfits then has a whole photoshoot with him
sometimes he even let’s vern pick out the outfits
his color coordination needs some work, but he’s getting there
jin’s kid is a little bit older than vernon, but the two get along the best
which means frequent visits from uncle jin in the kim household
seunghae is vernon’s best friend and jin is vernon’s favorite uncle, so you guys see a lot of each other
uncle jin always lets him stir the batter when they make cake
and he always lets him be the taste tester
plus uncle jin makes the best ramen, of course he’s his favorite uncle
and don’t tell jin, but taehyung has also earned a special spot in little vern’s heart
uncle tae is also the driving force behind his growing love for fashion and taking pictures
and if for some reason tae can’t get his own twins to be kid models, better believe he’ll do it to namjoon’s
and for once, namjoon is grate for that tae’s undying love for the cyphers because he once sent him a video of vernon dancing around and trying to rap along and it’s easily one of his favorite things in the entire world
vernon takes up after joon’s interest in music, too
he might not aspire to be a rapper quite like his dad, but he loves coming to the studio with him and learning about how music is made
and playing with the sound board and voice effects
he thinks it’s cool that his dad gets to make songs
and he loves all of his music so so much
even the tracks that don’t make it onto the albums, vernon just like listening to his dad’s music
so if the song doesn’t get approved by the label, joon keeps it anyway and sometimes plays it in the car for vern
even if it’s just the instrumental bc his son is easily his biggest fan
when joon’s birthday comes around one year, he asks you and uncle yoongi to help him make a song because he wants to impress his dad and give him something really special
so he uses a poem that he wrote in school and it sounds like a children’s book with a sickest baseline in the background (thanks yoongi)
but it’s the cutest, sweetest gesture ever
and joon cries on the spot when he hears it and hugs him for six days straight
it makes joon so happy that he inspires his son and that he loves him enough to try and write a song for him
and vernon is happy too because his dad is happy and proud of him (:
ok so one more little kim family tidbit
ever since his was a newborn, namjoon has read vern to sleep
and it’s something that kind of sticks with him, even when he gets to be a little too old to be read a bedtime story
sometimes when all of bangtan and their kids get together, joon sees vern reading the younger kids to sleep
and when joon couldn’t be there because of touring or whatever, he would facetime in and read to him from his hotel room
it’s something that vern always looks forward too even when he gets to be a little older
because he knows his dad will always be there for him with a good book, a smile, and a kiss to the forehead
