It's you

Laughter

I cannot do this.

I can't.

"Hyung-nim. Hyung? Hyung?”

The white walls in his eyes are replaced by the tanned skin of Taehyung. He pushes his cap up, revealing more of his soft hair. His fine eyebrows crease again, worry evident in his face.

Jin then realised he is looking down at Taehyung who basically tiptoeing, hoping to have the same eye-level with one another.

“Hyung-nim, genchana?” Taehyung stares into Jin’s eyes. “Remember what I said?”

Jin bats his eyes repeatedly and looks down. He eventually nods.

Just wave and shake hands. That is his job.

This is for Madam Dahnie too.

He can do this.

“Alpaca-ssi!”

Jin glares at the camera boy who whistles at him. This young punk cannot read the mood at all.

“Yah, Alpaca! Give me one doll,” Jungkook opens one hand at him.

Jin takes one from the bag and tosses at Jungkook who catches it dramatically, bending back like the Matrix guy dodging the bullets.

“Woah!” Jungkook widens his eyes big at the patient boy nearest to him. “Alpaca-ssi have super strength! Daebak!”

The boy on the bed laughs innocently and receives the doll from Jungkook. The boy looks happy, hugging the doll while Jungkook pats his head, asking him how he is and whether he likes the doll.

Jin swears that Jungkook is quite talented switching from being bad boy to an innocent bunny in a snap. Nevertheless, his character reminds him of Yoongi. He is probably the type that plays subtle when helping someone. Not to mention also, he is a natural with the children.

Taehyung giggles at Jungkook’s play. The room is now brightened with giggles and happy clapping. Taehyung maintains the momentum by retrieving a doll from Jin’s bag and does the similar thing as Jungkook did. Jin finds Taehyung more cute and pleasurable to see.

The atmosphere in the room has changed drastically. Jin almost forgot that these children are sick. Whenever Jin passes the doll to the lads whom consequently passes it to the patients, the sick child reacts like any other child, elated and bubbly. Jin is helplessly smiling, entertained by the two jokers who brought life within these dead white walls. And before Jin knows it, he is already interacting with the patients, waving and shaking hands.

They finally leave the ward with multiple waves of farewell. Jin stands outside watching the doors close behind him. The fun activity feels so short that Jin yearns to spend longer time with the kids.

“Yah, old man!”

Jin jumps at Jungkook’s yell. "Jinja this kid. What?!”

“We have four more wards to go. Stop dawdling!" Jungkook hurries him.

Taehyung follows behind and grins at Jin. "Let's go!"

"O-okay!" Jin cannot help but to blush.

Jin starts running behind Jungkook and Taehyung with a smile hidden behind the red scarf.

Adrenaline is pumping intensely in his veins. He never feels so satisfied and exhilarated like this before. Being able to make children happy feels amazing. Had he thought of this idea before, he would have volunteered a long time ago. Hell, he does not care what costume to wear. He will do it just to see the smiles on these children’s faces.
