Hobi is curious

Summary: Hobi is a curious little squirrel who might just give poor Jin a heart attack.

Hobi toddled about in the house, timidly, his tail curled up between his legs. A habit that showed he wasn't entirely comfortable in the new household.

Seokjin had been worried about it, often overthinking it to mean he was failing to provide Hoseok with an environment he felt comfortable within. But Namjoon as well as their family doctor had assured him it was the hybrid's natural response to a novel environment and that it would take time for him to become familiar with his surroundings.

"Jungkookie, yah! Don't pull Yoongi's tail like that," Seokjin's scolded as he picked the toddler in his arms and gave him a light smack on his bottom.

The little devil giggled in response, ears perking up atop his head and Jin shook his head at the little hybrid's mischief, understanding well that it was Jungkook's way of gaining their attention.

Hoseok chewed on his lower lip as he watched the two before his attention drifted to a switchboard under the table at the entrance.

Curious, he crawled under the table, fascinated with what he saw. He reached out a finger and pressed the switch. With a click, the switch flipped and Hobi's eyes widened, before he giggled happily and repeated the action.

His eyes landed on the socket and his little fingers were immediately drawn towards it. Just before his finger could make contact with the socket, a loud screech pierced through the silence, startling the squirrel hybrid.

"Hoseok!" Seokjin shouted, fear evident in his voice as he tugged the hybrid away from the switch board and into his arms, "you do not touch it. You could get an electric shock from it!"

The hybrid's eyes were wide with shock as they stared at Seokjin before they welled up with tears. His lower lip trembled and he gripped his tail, partially hiding his face behind it.

"Oh, no. Baby, no."

Little sobs escaped the young hybrid as he tugged his tail closer, gripping it tighter. An action that showed Jin he was afraid.

"Baby, I was scared you would hurt yourself. I'm so sorry I yelled at you and scared you."

Seokjin rocked the little hybrid, pressing tiny kisses to his droopy ears atop his head.

"Angry?" Hobi mumbled, pointing a tiny finger at Seokjin as tears trickled down his rosy cheeks.

"No, baby. I was scared."

"Scared?"

"Yes, baby. I don't want my hobi getting hurt."

Hobi peeked at him from behind his fluffy tail, eyes red from crying and Jin felt his heart clench.

Seokjin knelt down with hobi in his arms and pointed to the switch board.

"That is dangerous."

"Dan—rous?" Hobi mumbled, looking from the board to Seokjin.

"Yes, dangerous. It can hurt you."

"Hurt Hobi?"

"Yes, baby. That's why we must not touch it, okay?"

"No touchie?"

"No touchie."

"Hobi no touchie," the little hybrid promised, "Hobi sorry."

Seokjin held him close.

"I'm sorry too, baby. I didn't mean to yell at you or scare you."

"Is okie," Hobi mumbled as he softly gripped Seokjin's shoulder and the older rubbed his back comfortingly.

"Why don't you play with Yoongi and Jungkookie, hmm?"

Hobi nodded and pointed towards the living room.

"Play, hobi wanna play."

Seokjin chuckled, "okay, you little devil. Off you go."

Saying so Seokjin set the little hybrid down and watched as he toddled off before he leaned against the wall and placed a hand on his racing heart.

"One of these days, I'm going to die of a heart attack," he grumbled.
