"Hyung," Jimin whined. He bounced on his feet a bit. "Please!"

Yoongi rolled his eyes and straightened his jacket. "Jimin, why do we have to?"

"I wanna!" Jimin pouted. "I don't understand why you're so against it!"

Yoongi smiled a bit. "Just come on, Jimin."

Jimin stuck his hand out towards Yoongi and frowned. Yoongi's gaze moved from Jimin's face to his hand and then back. Sighing, he linked his fingers through Jimin's and smiled, squeezing Jimin's hand.

Jimin's entire face lit up. He cuddled to Yoongi's side and held onto his arm happily, nuzzling his face against the elder's shoulder.

"Walks are amazing, hyung."

Yoongi chuckled and kissed the side of Jimin's head. "Yeah, yeah."

The sky was darkening as they continued walking. Both of them were bundled up in Yoongi's jackets and Yoongi was walking on the side of the road. He always refused to let Jimin walk near the street, said he wouldn't know what to do with himself if Jimin got hit by a car again.

The ground was a bit slippery every now and then since it had rained earlier that day. It was still manageable, so Jimin had insisted they walk.

Yoongi was looking at Jimin when his foot slipped off the sidewalk and down the curb. He cursed as his ankle twisted with an audible crack. Jimin gasped and kept Yoongi upright, tightening his hold on the elder.

Yoongi bounced up and down on his good leg and cursed. "Fuck, fuck, fuck."

"Hyung, are you alright?" Jimin put Yoongi's arm around his shoulder and looked down at his foot.

"Ah. Yeah, I — Yeah. Let's go."

Yoongi tried to keep walking, but when he put weight on his foot, he nearly fell to the ground again. Jimin sighed and moved in front of Yoongi, squatting down.

"Jimin—"

"Get on my back, hyung."

Yoongi wanted to protest, but he knew he couldn't walk. He put his arms around Jimin's neck and jumped at the same time Jimin grabbed his legs and hoisted him into the air. Yoongi rested his head on Jimin's shoulder and closed his eyes.

Jimin giggled. "Walks are the best."

"Shut up, Jimin." Yoongi smiled. "Just bring me home." Jimin laughed and swayed them as he carried him.

Yoongi was laying on the couch with his foot propped up on a pillow. Jimin brought him an ice pack from the freezer and sat down on the floor in front the couch.

"Hyung, I'm gonna take your shoe off, okay?"

Yoongi nodded and threw an arm over his face. Jimin untied his Converse and slowly loosened the laces so it would be easier to take off. Once the shoe was off his foot, Yoongi let out a heavy sigh and wiggled his toes in his socks.

"It's not broken," the elder breathed. "I'm good."

Jimin took off his sock as well. "No, but it's definitely sprained." Jimin eyed the swollen ankle and his brow furrowed. He poked at the puffy skin cautiously, jumping when Yoongi sucked in a sharp breath. "Looks weird, Daddy."

Yoongi smiled through the pain. "Yeah?"

"Yeah." Jimin blinked as he got closer. "Puff." He poked it again. "Very puff."

Yoongi winced and chuckled. "Baby, can you put the ice pack on it?"

Jimin shrugged and placed the ice pack on Yoongi's ankle. Yoongi let out a sigh and closed his eyes.

"It's kinda freaky, Daddy. All puffy like that." Jimin placed his head on the couch and stared at Yoongi's leg.

Yoongi put a hand through Jimin's hair. "It would have been worse if you hadn't kept me up straight."

Jimin giggled. "I saved Daddy."

"Yes you did." Yoongi opened his arms. "Will you cuddle me?"

"Yeah!" Jimin jumped up and on top of Yoongi, who groaned a bit. He snuggled into Yoongi's chest and grinned happily, humming a bit. "Warm."

Yoongi pet his hair a bit. "Nap time."

"But I'm not tired, Daddy," Jimin protested. His words were slurring together as his eyes closed.

Yoongi shrugged and kept petting Jimin's hair, rubbing his back as well. Jimin fell asleep not even a few minutes later, one of his hands holding Yoongi's. Yoongi kissed his head and rested, scrolling through his phone and taking pictures of Jimin while he was asleep.
