jungkook's baby cousin

Yoongi knocked on Jungkook and Taehyung's door. Jimin was holding his hand and rubbing his knuckles. Jungkook opened the door and basically pulled them both inside.

"Okay, hyung, Taetae is really upset because my aunt brought over my baby cousin and now I don't have time to spend with him and he's gonna be all sad and I don't want him to be sad and—"

Jimin held up his hand. "Kookie, hold on."

Jungkook let out a heavy breath. "Right. Okay. Please help me."

Jimin blinked. "You said... you have a baby?"

Jungkook nodded. "In the living room with Taetae."

Jimin let go of Yoongi's hand and ran to the living room. Yoongi shook his head in disbelief and looked at Jungkook.

"Wait," Yoongi said. He pointed at Jungkook. "You left your little with a baby."

Jungkook's eyes widened. "Shit!"

The youngest ran to the living room and Yoongi just shook his head again, slowly moving towards the living room as well.

Jimin was on the couch, petting Taehyung's head and rocking the baby in his arms. "Jungkookie, what's his name?"

"J-Jooheonie!" Taehyung chimed in.

Jimin squealed and kissed the baby's cheeks. The baby giggled and grabbed at Jimin's hair. "You're being so good, Taetae! Would you like Minnie to watch the baby while you play with Jungkookie for a bit? Minnie can play with you later too."

Taehyung nodded his head enthusiastically. "Yeah! T-Thank you, Minnie." He stood up and pressed a soft kiss to Jimin's cheek, who blushed.

Taehyung ran over to Jungkook, who caught him. Jungkook nodded his head at Jimin and brought Taehyung to their bedroom to grab things to play with.

Jimin smiled down at the baby again. Jooheon was twirling Jimin's hair in his fingers and making little gurgling sounds.

"He reminds me of you." Yoongi sat down on the couch.

Jimin glanced at the elder. "How?"

"He's making those little gurgly sounds. You do too." Yoongi leaned back against the couch and smiled.

Jimin laughed lightly and put his face close to the baby's. Jooheon poked at Jimin's lip and grabbed onto it, giggling.

Yoongi looked at Jimin again and saw his shoulder's shaking. "Jiminie?"

Jimin looked at Yoongi with tears running down his face. He sniffled and looked back down at Jooheon, overcome with a sob shortly after.

"Oh my god, Jimin, are you okay?" Yoongi reached for the baby and took the small child out of Jimin's arms. "Jiminie?"

Jimin sobbed into his hands before calming down and wiping his face. "I'm okay," he sniffled. "Babies, um... make me cry?"

Yoongi smiled softly and looked down at Jooheon, who was now gazing up at him. "Hi, Jooheonie. I'm Yoongi hyung."

Jooheon reached up and poked Yoongi's cheek. Yoongi giggled with a huge gummy smile and Jimin felt the tears coming again. He pulled a pillow closer and sobbed into it.

"Jiminie!" Yoongi said, putting a hand on Jimin's back. "Why are you crying?!"

Jimin shook his head, continuing to cry. "B-Babies are cute a-and you're cute w-with babies."

Yoongi furrowed his brow and smiled a bit. He pressed a kiss to Jimin's forehead and looked down at the confused baby in his arms. "Do you wanna hold him again, then?"

Jimin nodded furiously and sat up, pulling Jooheon into his arms. "Hi again, Jooheonie," he whispered, smiling through the tears.

Yoongi was baffled as he stared at his husband and Jungkook's baby cousin. Jimin had seen plenty of babies when he was with Yoongi, and it had never even come close to affecting the younger this much.

Jimin continued playing with the baby, letting Jooheon wrap his small fist around Jimin's index finger. He giggled and kissed Jooheon's head. The baby cooed and started babbling quickly, making Jimin laugh.

"Minnie!"

Jimin turned his head to look at Taehyung. "Hey, sunshine."

"C-Can Minnie play with T-Taetae now?" Taehyung asked, tilting his head to the side and sticking out his bottom lip.

Jimin grinned and handed the baby to Jungkook. He took Taehyung's hands in his and nodded. "Of course I can!"

The little squealed and pulled Jimin over to the colouring books and stuffed animals on the floor. Yoongi kept watch on them while Jungkook took care of the baby. Jimin didn't cry again and played with Taehyung like normal, but he would gaze longingly towards Jooheon in the kitchen every so often.
