Will You Accept Me?

Chapter Thirteen

Jimin has been left home to watch Hobi as the other five go out to settle something with one of their fathers. Hobi has also been completely rowdy. "Chimmie!! Play!" Hobi pouts when Jimin once again shakes his head no. He then dejectedly went to go play with a couple of his stuffies. Taesoo and Yoonji are a lion and turtle, respectively and he named them after his caregivers.

That eventually becomes boring, however, so Hobi decides to try a different tactic of getting Jimin to play with him. He goes up to Jimin and, imitating his Daddy's voice, he has Taesoo tell the boy, "Jiminie go plays with Hobi he bored." Then, imitating his Dada's voice, he has Yoonji say, "Yah, go play wit Hobi or I'll kick you."

The effect is ruined, however, by the boy's incessant giggling. "Hobi, stop." "No, Hobi want to play! Play wit me! Please, please, please, please." "Ugh alright, alright!" "Yay!" Hobi exclaims excitedly. He rushes to his room to grab a few more stuffies. Running back out he gives Jimin the bunny.

He knows the boy doesn't want to play that much, so he does not want to pressure him with a lot of stuffies. "That Cooky. He looks li-" "Jungkookie." Hobi's eyes widen at the sudden change in the boy before he smiles widely.

"Thank god that went well, I can not imagine what would have happened if it did not." Seokjin says as he jiggles the key in the lock of their door. They suddenly hear a crash from inside and Seokjin rushes to open the door. Once inside, they hear a pair of giggles and running feet. The boys are shocked by the absolute mess in the hall.

Hobi's stuffies are all strewn across the floor, mainly at the sides of the hall, as if Hobi placed them there intentionally. They are all facing the boys. But it is the walls that mainly have their attention. They are completely colored on, the focal point being the words 'Hobie n chimie wer hre.' "Guys... you don't think..." "Guess we'll be expanding the playroom. Thank goodness their room is right next to ours."

Jungkook suddenly pushes past the rest, heading further into the house. He enters the living room to see Jimin and Hobi watching a movie while eating some of Hobi's crackers that were on the top shelf. "You two okay?" The boy asks. Both turn to Jungkook, Hobi nodding and Jimin's eyes widening. Automatically the latter jumps up, fumbling his words as he tries to think of something, anything, to say.

"Jimin." Jungkook has to say Jimin's name multiple times as the boy is too distraught to do anything but continue. Jungkook gets closer to the older each time he says his name before he gets close enough to grab his hands, bringing Jimin to a standstill, a terrified expression in his eyes. "Jimin, it is perfectly okay." "but, but..." Jungkook pecks the older's lips before saying, "I have suspected for a while."

Just then Taehyung comes into the room. "DADDY!!!" the boy squeals. He runs up to him, jumping into his Daddy's outstretched arms. "Why hello baby boy. Did you have fun? Guess we can't leave you alone with Jiminie anymore hmm?" "Yes yes yes. Daddy you know Jiminie little too. Iz so so so happy." "That's great! Oh, Jungkook. I talked with the construction workers and they're fine with expanding the play room so you can have a door from your guys' room as well." "Thank you Tae." Jungkook replies.

"Now Hobi, you know you're in trouble right?" "Trouble?" Hoseok looks at his Daddy with wide eyes. "Yes, for making such a big mess. Now that I think about it, we did not make your rules list yet. You fell asleep as soon as we finished our run. How about, because we did not make the list yet, if you just clean up your mess with no argument, we'll have no punishment."

Hobi nods his head. "Otay Iz clean. Iz clean so well that, that, that... that it will be like new." "That's my good boy." "Daddy... yous help me?" "hmm, only with some things." "Tank you." Hobi struggles out of Taehyung's arms and rushes to go put his stuffies back.

He picks them up with big armloads and waddles back to his room to place them in the corner. He also arranges them nicely so that no one's face is blocked. "We needs tu make sures you guys can see. Taesoo, it's not nice to block Mal's face!" The boy moves the lion stuffie so it is not covering the dragon stuffie's face as much. "Theres."

Hobi rushes to grab the rest of his stuffies, doing the same for them before turning to his daddy for help with the walls. "Hobi." The little turns to Jungkook, who has his hand on a bashful Jimin's back. "Jimin's going to help too, okay?" Hobi nods. The two boys then quietly go to work, Taehyung providing them with water, sponges, and cleaning solution. Jungkook is also there, supervising.

Jimin eventually becomes frustrated, moving his fingers to his mouth. "ah ah ah." Jungkook grabs the boy's hand and moves it from his mouth. "Your fingers are icky right now, you don't want to do that." Jimin complies and continues cleaning. Eventually they get the wall all clean and Taehyung thanks every god in the book that Yoongi had the foresight to get Hoseok washable colouring utensils.

After the two adults take care of the cleaning supplies they help their littles wash their hands, lightly rubbing their own bigger ones on the smallers'. After that is all done, they allow the two littles to continue their movie, Taehyung joining Yoongi on the smaller couple's couch and Jungkook sitting on the larger one.
