Little Space

Taehyung and Jimin, both in little space now, were running around Taehyung's apartment and laughing loudly. Yoongi was lounging on the couch, his eyes closed as he rested. Jungkook was chasing after them and trying to protect them from every wall and corner. Yoongi's phone went off, telling him it was time for work. He stood up and stretched.

"Hey, Kook? I gotta go to work. Think you could watch Jimin?" He smiled smugly and started walking to the door.

"Hyung! No! Yoongi hyung, if you leave me here with these two, I swear I'll—"

Yoongi closed the door behind him.

"Minnie! Be careful with that glue," Jungkook demanded. He turned on his heel and saw Taehyung jumping off the couch. "Taehyung! No jumping, what's wrong with y—"

Jimin squealed, cutting Jungkook off. He whipped his head around to see Jimin covering his hands with glue. Taehyung ran over to Jimin and did the same.

"Guys, what the... No, don't—"

Taehyung took his glue-covered hand and swiped it across Jimin's face, making Jimin giggle. Jungkook ran over.

"Tae! Don't do that!"

He took the hem of his shirt and began wiping the glue off of Jimin's face while Jimin made soft gurgling noises.

"Tae, go sit on the couch! Now!" Jungkook yelled. Taehyung pouted and walked to the couch, sitting down with his arms crossed. "You too, Minnie."

Jimin nodded and sat on the couch as well. Jungkook sat on the coffee table, facing them with tired eyes.

"Okay. No more running. No more... glue. Just..." Jungkook turned around and picked up colouring books and crayons. "Just colour."

Taehyung and Jimin grabbed the books immediately, taking the crayons as well.

Jungkook moved from the table so they could colour on it. He sat back against the wall, savoring his downtime that he knew would be short-lived. He had been running around for about five hours, trying to keep everything under control. He was really fucking tired.

He closed his eyes for just a second — he swears it was just a second — but he woke up half an hour later, covered in marker ink. Jungkook stumbled into the bathroom to look in the mirror. The giggling spread through the hallway as the two continued to chase each other.

"Yah! You little shits! I should kill y—"

There was a knock on his apartment door. He groaned and walked out of the bathroom. Jimin and Taehyung were running around the rooms, but Jungkook ignored them for now. He opened the door to a surprised-looking Yoongi.

Jungkook groaned and fell onto Yoongi, placing his head on the elder's shoulder. Yoongi laughed quietly.

"Bad day?"

"Hyung, how the hell do you do it?"

Yoongi led them both inside, shutting the door behind them. He pulled away and patted Jungkook's shoulder. "You get used to it." Yoongi turned towards the living room. "Jiminie!" he yelled.

Jimin came running into the room. "Daddy!" he jumped into Yoongi's arm and squished Yoongi's cheeks, kissing his puckered mouth.

"Hey, baby. Did you do this to Jungkookie?"

Jimin smiled and looked over to Jungkook. "Yes, I did, Daddy."

Yoongi chuckled and high-fived Jimin. "Good job, baby."

Jungkook groaned once more. Taehyung came running into the room, searching for Jungkook. "Kookieeee~"

"Yes, Tae?" Jungkook said breathlessly.

"Come play with meeee~"

"Yes, Tae." Jungkook took Taehyung's outstretched hands.

"See, you, Jungkook-ah." Yoongi laughed. He took Jimin's hand and walked them from the apartment, hearing Jungkook's screaming from down the hallway.
