First Camping Trip

A/N: For the people that have already commented a few requests, first of all, thank you so much!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the original fic and are curious about what else goes on inside the universe!! Secondly, every single request y'all have made has actually already been written up. However, I will be posting them on here in the order I have posted them to AO3, so it will be a little bit before all of those get covered. Hope you enjoy this and every drabble/miniseries to come!! <3

Request:
"Maybe a little drabble can be camping? I've been obsessed with camp camp"

Notes:
This takes place about a month after Jimin first gets placed with Jin.

Jungkook - 1 (21 months)

"Aajfapeoijf...Where going?" Taehyung had toddled into Jin's room to see him busy packing a few bags.

"We're going on a little trip tomorrow, Tae Tae." His mother's church was having their annual camping trip for the youth, and Jin thought that it might be a good opportunity to get the boys out in nature. He'd also hoped that the nature would help calm Jimin and give Jin some extra chances to spend individual time with him, as he was still fairly aggressive and violent a month after being placed with Jin. "What did you need?"

"I hungy~" Taehyung said simply, the three-year-old looking up at his caregiver.

"You're hungry?" Jin asked, feigning extreme shock. "But you just had dinner!"

Taehyung giggled at Jin. "Wan' cookies!"

"You want cookies?" Taehyung nodded and Jin set Hoseok's shirt he had been folding in the open bag on the bed in front of him. "Then let's go!"

He rounded up the other four boys and led them into the kitchen, so they could all make the cookies together. He had Jungkook sit on the counter with an empty bowl and spoon, which satisfied the toddler until he realized he didn't have any food in his bowl. At that point, Jin poured some chocolate chips into the bowl for Jungkook to stir around, and the baby of the group was content. Jin had the two three-year olds pour in the dry ingredients, like flour and sugar, while he put the two older boys in charge of cracking the eggs.

Once the cookies were in the oven, and Jungkook's feet were back on the ground, the 21-month-old was pressing himself against the oven door. "You don't need to be doing that Kookie, the oven's hot." The toddler nodded and backed away, stepping on Jimin's foot by accident as he did so.

"Ow~" Jimin whined, clenching his fist by his side.

"Jimin," Jin said, successfully stopping the three-year-old from raising his hand to hit Jungkook, as Jin knew he was about to do. "He didn't mean to."

"Sowwy~" Jungkook said to Jimin, looking up at him with big eyes that made Jimin smile at him.

"It's otay." Jimin told him, and Jin was glad that everything turned out okay.

Jin pulled into the parking spot of the campground he had reserved just as some of the churchgoers were starting a fire to roast hot dogs. Jin had to wait until the preschool day was over before picking Yoongi up from Sophia's grandmother's so he could make the drive to Petit Jean mountain.

"Ook~" Jungkook pointed to the campfire as Jin set him on the ground.

"Be careful, Kookie~" Jin told the young boy before instructing Yoongi to keep an eye on him to make sure he didn't get too close to the fire.
