"Koo hyung!" Four-year-old Seokjin stumped his leg on the grass as he walked along with the six-year-old Jungkook in the park, Jungkook who had a small tree branch looked back at Seokjin with a questioning face "What happened?" Jungkook screamed because Seokjin was somewhat apart in the distance from him.

Seokjin ran with all his might and at the last step when he was about to stumble Jungkook ran towards the stumbling four-year-old and held him, but he was just a kid himself and they both fell on the muddy ground covered with grass.

Seokjin looked at Jungkook and Jungkook looked at Seokjin as they both were sprawled on top of the dirty floor with dirty clothes now and their face covered in considerable dirt, they both giggled at their state but neither cared.

"Why were you calling me?" Seokjin looked away from Jungkook and moved his hands up and down on the muddy grassed floor "You were so far away from me Koo hyung" Jungkook sat up from their sleeping position and helped Seokjin do the same "You were scared?" Jungkook chuckled when Seokjin huffed and moved his face away from the six-year-old.

"I am never scared, I am your tractor!" Jungkook swished his head to the right side, confused about what Seokjin meant but seeing the way Seokjin stood on his feet and punched his little fists in the air Jungkook understood what the two years younger meant "Oh you mean you are my protector?"

Seokjin looked down with a brave frown and his hands on either side of his waist "Yes, your tractor shall never be scared, I am your tractor!" he stuttered again at the word protector and Jungkook giggled keeping his muddy hands on his face "Its protector Seokjin"

"It is the same thing!" Seokjin said with vigor in his voice, he stretched his little hands out for Jungkook to take and Jungkook obliged and took the younger's hand and pulled himself from the ground when Jungkook saw that he and Seokjin were of the same size, or rather Seokjin was a little taller than him he whined.

"How can you be taller than I am? I am six years old and you are just four! It is not fair, I am not growing" Seokjin stopped Jungkook's frantic movement and kissed Jungkook's cheeks which made Jungkook stop his whining and touch his cheeks "Your tractor should be big and healthy shouldn't he be? That is why I am tall!" Seokjin said proudly and Jungkook being a kid himself agreed and nodded.

"Let's play ball!" Seokjin said running like a hyperactive kid and Jungkook followed behind the younger, Taehyung and Jimin who was sitting on the front lawn of Taehyung's house just near the park saw the kids coming but now their clean shirt and pants were covered by dirt.

Jimin gasped and ran towards the boys who were bickering and kicking a set of stones and laughing in their old world "Where did you come fighting from?" Jungkook tilted his head and pouted his lips "We did not fight, we were just playing"

The four-year-old Seokjin just nodded standing beside the six-year-old Jungkook "Playing is this what you call playing Jungkook? You are older, come on, you should have taken care of Seokjin!"

Seokjin huffed hearing that he was the one who should get the care, but Seokjin did not need care, he was a four-year-old brave kid "I am Koo-hyung's tractor, he needs care not me" Seokjin mumbled with no expression or what so ever.

Taehyung chuckled at his son's instincts and slowly stepped from behind to pick up the boy "Okay my tractor, tell me why did you get so much dirt on your koo-hyung then?" Seokjin trashed his legs as he was being held against his will, he did not quite like it that much.

But Seokjin had to stop thrashing eventually which he did and looked down to the ground helplessly being held by his appa, he was turned around to face Taehyung and Seokjin looked up slowly peaking from behind his long bangs.

Taehyung held Seokjin close to and tightly under Seokjin's armpits "I fell down too-and-and I could not-I could not-um" Seokjin was looking everywhere but looking into his appa's eyes, Taehyung knew the action Seokjin was playing on him, not knowing any words action.

"Tae-samchoon" Jungkook cutely calls Taehyung and looks up with his doe-eyes, "It was my fault too, dont scold him, please?" Jungkook's please was a bit stretched as he tried his best to showcase whatever cuteness he had in him.

Taehyung sighed and chuckled and looked at Jimin, Jimin was shocked too at how his son could easily convince someone by his voice, he gave a little pat and slightly hit Jungkook on his back "God you are seriously getting to know little tricks aren't you?" Jungkook looks back at his father and removes his tongue mocking Jimin.

Seokjin as soon as he got put down on the ground, ran like a drenched puppy to Jungkook and hugged him nuzzling his face in the older's neck owing to their same height.

"How is Jungkook the same height as your son, my son really has to eat something" Jimin sighed as he rubbed his belly, Taehyung sat beside him and said "You shouldn't worry much, Seokjin just eats a lot like Namjoon, I am sure Jungkook will grow to his owned height when required" 

Taehyung and Jimin saw Seokjin pulling Jungkook with a small ball in his hand to their backyard "Kids are seriously a lot to handle, especially ours, come I will give you a bit of chicken soup since you were craving it" Jimin nodded and got up following Taehyung inside the house.

Seokjin threw the ball with all his might towards Jungkook who was standing not even ten meters away from him, the ball projected to a great height and landed on top of the old tree house which was built by Namjoon for Taehyung.

Jungkook and Seokjin looked up helplessly seeing the ball now rolling on that almost breaking-down wooden house on top of the tree.

"I will go and pick it up," Jungkook says but Seokjin stops him with his hands, worried for his hyung "Koo-hyung I dont want you getting hurt, it's fine, we can play with another ball" Jungkook shook his head, and smiled at Seokjin  "It was your favorite ball wasn't it? and I have my tractor here"

Jungkook smiled and carefully tried to climb the stairs which were almost falling off the tree, Seokjin stood there chewing on his little gummy fingers while looking out for his hyung, suddenly Jungkook's leg fell on a wrong step, he lost his balance and fell down with a scream and hit his legs on a pointed branch just below, his legs bleeding.

Seokjin screamed at the sight of the fall and hurried to Jungkook, he put Jungkook's head on his lap and tried waking Jungkook who was laying there in a dead faint, his legs bleeding profusely and Seokjin even felt a little bit of gush of blood on his hands.

Seokjin carefully kept Jungkook's head on the ground and crying he ran inside the house to call his father, he hiccuped and rubbed his eyes to make the blurring tears go away, but he couldn't do it.

"Appa!" he screamed, Seokjin screamed until Taehyung and Jimin came hurriedly running and Taehyung crouched down at the level of Seokjin holding his puffy cheeks in his hands "What happened cupcake?"

Seokjin gave out a series of hiccups before saying the name "Koo-hyung" he could barely scared seeing his hyung fall like that.

Jimin and Taehyung something must have happened for him to be crying so historically, they went outside and saw the horrified image of Jungkook lying beside the tree "Oh my god Jungkook" Jimin screamed seeing his son lying there not responding, he picked up his son and was trying to regain him back to consciousness "I will call Namjoon and Hoseok"

Taehyung hurriedly went to call Namjoon and Seokjin sat there beside Jimin cowering "I am sorry uncle, I am sorry I couldn't protect Koo-hyung, I am a bad protector, I am sorry" Jimin looked at the small kid and tried to smile "Its not your fault so no need to apologize, jinnie"

The four-year-old still frenzy seeing his hyung bleed, did not know what to do as his eyes just closed off to a blank haze and he felt himself going to a bliss where his hyung was never hurt.
