Hospital Love

Questions.

As I buckled the twins into their seats, I explained that there may be someone new at home. They thought it was going to be a friend of mine so I had to explain it was a friend of Jungkook's. Which then confused them as I called him Jungkook. Then I had to explain that Inyoung would like to be called Jungkook. This turned into a full Q & A session. 

"But Inyoung- I mean... J-Jungkook is a girl!"
"Yes... but she would like you to call her a boy, please."
"Why does she- he... he wanna be called a boy?"
"He feels like he wants to be a boy and not a girl."
"But, why does Jungkook wanna be a boy?"
"He just feels that it's right."
"But, why doesn't she- he wanna be a girl?"
"How do you know you wanna be a boy, huh?"
"I just do!"
"That's how he feels."
"But, Appa, if I don't wanna weaw dwesses, does that mean I don't wanna be a girl?"
"No, it doesn't. Boys can wear dresses and girls can wear dresses as well. And both can wear neither."
"Does that mean she- he doesn't like wearing dresses?"
"I don't think he does, no."
"But, is he still a boy if he does like weawing dwesses?"
"Yes. If he wants to be a boy but likes wearing dresses, that's fine."
"What if Jungkook changes his mind and wants to be a girl again?"
"That's also fine. There's nothing wrong with being confused or curious."
"Can I weaw twousers then?"
"You wanna wear trousers? You've never wanted to wear trousers."
"Yeah."
"Then, we can see about getting you some, if that's what you'd like."
"No! Girls can't wear trousers!"
"Taehyung. Girls can wear trousers. And if that's what Eunji wants to do then that's perfectly fine."
"But, Appa, the teachers told a girl off for wearing a trousers."
"Those teachers are wrong to be telling that girl off."
"Will Jungkook cut his haiw showt?"
"If he wants to then he can."
"Can boys have long hair?"
"Of course. they can."
"Can I get short haiw then?"
"Maybe we should talk about that at home, okay?"
"Okie dokie."
"Why do you want short hair? You'll look like a boy!"
"Tae. Be nice. If your sister wants to have short hair, there's nothing wrong with that."

Our conversation lasted us the way home. When we got there I reminded them about someone new being there as they'd likely forgotten, after all the questions they'd asked. At this, they became rather excited. I did have to explain that she may not be downstairs with us as she is Jungkook's special friend and they would like to have some time to themselves upstairs.

There were upset by this but quickly brushed it off and ran off together to play. I followed behind them to the play room, after getting them and myself drinks. I made sure the twins both had sippy cups and I had a plastic cup, considering what usually happens.

"But Appa, we're big kids now. We don't need little baby cups," Taehyung protested as I handed them both their squash.
"Yeah! We don't need baby cups, Appa!" Eunji added.

I let out an airy chuckle as I knew this was bound to happen. But I'd honestly prefer to not have to clean up squash off the floor every five minutes than be moaned at by a pair of seven year olds.
I nodded, showing I understood, "I know that you're both big kids but sometimes even big kids need baby cups."

I only got the same response: 'we're not little kids anymore', 'we don't need baby cups'.

I couldn't keep in the small laugh that needed to get out. They were too cute when frustrated. I tried explaining to them that every time they've had big kid cups in the play room, they've spilt it on the floor. That I wasn't in the mood to be wiping squash of the floor over a hundred times in an hour.

Finally they gave in and drank their juice. Well, Taehyung did anyway.
Eunji had been drinking hers all along, despite adding in her protest along the way.

I was relieved that I didn't have to argue about it for longer or get them 'big kid cups' but I was rather surprised they gave in that easily. I let it slide thinking that they just had a long day at school.

Which was likely true. Eunji's energy drains when he's told off and it seems Tae wasted his energy on kissing Jimin all day.

"-Ppa? Appa?" Eunji was poking my cheek as she dragged me away from my thoughts.
"Yes, sweetie?" I asked, giving the girl my full attention.
"I'm hungwy... can I have a snack please?" She twiddled with her fingers.
I nodded before adding, "Yes, but only something small as we'll be eating dinner soon, okay?"

She nodded and turned back around to play, but remembering our conversation in the car I stopped her and asked if she could come with me.
She agreed and skipped to the kitchen ahead of me, once I'd made sure Taehyung would be okay by himself.

A/N: sorry for the half finished and late chapter. I'll probably add more on tomorrow morning. Have a good night/day!
