Childish | Jungkook

Chapter 5

"Miss Nain, what does cooties mean?"

I snorted before smiling sheepishly at the small, confused girl before me.

"Germs, Soojin. It means germs."

She gasped softly, her eyes enlarging in shock, and I couldn't help but snort again after seeing her adorable expression. Kids were so pure, so innocent.

"Boys have germs?!"

Ah, yes... The classic 'boys have cooties' stuff.

I mean, boys are icky...

"They do, sweetie," I exclaimed while staring right into her eyes with my brows knitted together threateningly. "That's why us, girls stay away from boys altogether."

She gasped again. "Oh no..."

"But you can still be friends with them," I assured, slowly caressing her silky hair.

She was thinking to herself in silence while facing down and I wondered if I said something I shouldn't have. The guilt was real as cold sweat started running down my spine.

She looked up at me with her doe eyes again before blurting out, "Then I can kiss girls instead?"

What...

"W-Well, I-"

I knew it! I done fucked up!

Her parents are going to kill me for sure!

Before I could say anything, probably something stupid and unnecessary that I would have regretted again, she chimed, "Like my mommy and my big sisters?"

I was confused but I still went with the flow and nodded.

"Does that mean my mommy has cooties?" She pouted, her small hand scratching her head. "She kisses daddy everyday."

I blinked before breaking into a fit of laughter. She was also torn between wanting to kiss her dad and wanting to stay away from germs. Oh, how fun talking to babies can be...

"Of course not, Soojin. You see, cooties exist only in boys. So when they're fully grown, those germs disappear, you get me? And when you're fully grown, you won't get sick from those yucky germs."

She nodded in awe. "I didn't know that... You're amazing, Miss."

The only people who call me amazing are you guys...

A soft smile danced on my lips when she suddenly crashed into me, struggling to hug me with her short arms. I lowered myself to wrap her tiny form and patted her small head.

"Thank you, sweetie."

✏️✏️✏️

During nap time, I was reading a book on parenting to improve my teaching skills after putting all my children to sleep. It was fortunate for me that they had no trouble falling asleep. Unlike, Hoseok's bratty kids.

"Nain," someone whisper-yelled at me.

I put my book down on the table before walking to the door to see Hoseok smiling at me with a boy behind him.

Speak of the devil...

"Nain, come quick! You have to see Yoongi," he whispered cheerfully before grabbing my hand in one hand and the little boy's hand in the other.

I quietly followed him through the hallway, but started talking when I looked at the boy.

"Why is this kid not sleeping , Hoseok?"

"Hm? Oh, he slept till noon and came to class late just now and when I asked him to sleep, he said no."

I turned to the boy and scolded him, "Why are you coming to class this late? You should come right on time just like your classmates."

He stuck out his tongue at me and turned away.

This little...

"How do you even deal with such brats," I sighed.

Hoseok only chuckled and kept walking us to our destination.

My curiosity got the best of me and I walked ahead of them after freeing my hand to peek inside Yoongi's classroom. My eyebrows jumped when I did.

Oh...

A diaper...

Yoongi was changing a diaper.

His hands were fumbling with the diaper, putting it on the baby very skillfully and quite neatly much to my surprise. The baby was cooing and nibbling on her mushy fist, smiling up at the serious but soft looking man before her.

He was way too focused on the task.

I quickly snapped a picture before tucking my phone away safely. I will need this later.

"Yoongles..." I mumbled while taking slow strides towards him. "Whose baby is that?"

"Mine," he whispered softly, but loud enough for me to hear, without taking his eyes off the baby.

I nearly choked on my spit and caught myself just before tripping over my own feet.

"WHA-"

"Don't shout. You're gonna wake the kids," he warned with a low, commanding voice and I bit my tongue.

"I'm just kidding, Nain." He breathed out a short chuckle as he finished his work, sticking the fasteners securely with his slender fingers. "One of my kids' mother asked me to watch over her for the day since she had an urgent business to leave the city. You know I'm still single, right?"

I sighed in relief. "Thank goodness. I was afraid that you suddenly got a random girl pregnant..."

He gawked at me in disbelief. "Are you serious?"

The baby was now observing me with her freakishly huge doll eyes and cooed loudly, beaming so brightly like the shining sun, spreading warmth all over the classroom. I placed my index finger in her tiny palm and squealed at the feeling.

"My gosh! She's cuute!"

"Lower your voice, please," Yoongi hissed. "My kids are sleeping, Nain."

Hoseok walked in through the door, yelling, "Ayy, Yoongi! Can't believe the day would come whe-"

"Shut the fuck up. My god!" The mint haired man groaned and shut his eyes in exasperation. "All of you, get out! My kids are fucking sleeping right before your eyes!"

I slapped Hoseok's arm and the man yelped before smiling sheepishly at Yoongi, whispering, "Sorry."

He then walked over to the baby and lifted her up before spinning around and making cute noises. She giggled, her eyes forming crescent shapes, while Yoongi scowled and glared at the orange haired man as if he wanted to kill his best friend right then and there.

"Guys?"

We turned around to see Jungkook peeking inside.

"Isn't it lunchtime?"

Hoseok chuckled before walking out the door with the baby in his one hand and the little brat in the other. "Let's eat."

"Whose baby is that?" Jungkook asked.

"Mine," I giggled.

His eyeballs almost popped out and his face got drained of all color as he stuttered, "W-What?!"

I snorted before patting his back and pulling his hand. "I'm just kidding."
