Tae's Baby - Taegi

twelve

*Taehyung*

I held him against my side and rubbed his back soothingly until he fell asleep, then Namjoon-Hyung and I made eye contact as if we had a silent conversation through our eyes. With that silent conversation we agreed one of us had to say something, I figured it was best I was the one to explain.

"Yoongi-Hyung is a little, he pushed that part of himself away and forced it to stop for a long time. But he didn't realise he slipped in his sleep, I took care of him while he was asleep. He found out he was still little and I'm now his caregiver. If any of you are assholes to him while he's little I'll kick your head in." The car was already moving so Jin-Hyung didn't even see Yoongi, he didn't even know what was going on until I mentioned that.

We were at a red light so he turned around in his seat and looked back at the sleeping boy resting against me, "He's a little??? AWWW, HE'S SO ADORABLE!!!"

"Hyung, shhh. I don't want him being woken up, didn't you see how he almost cried before?"

He apologized and turned around to drive again when the light turned green, "Yeah Tae, you're gonna have to introduce him to everyone if you want him to be around them all."

"But... he's met them before, he's known them for over 5 years." I was confused as to why I'd need to introduce him to people he's been living with and working with for so long.

"Maybe Yoongi knows them all, but Yoonie doesn't, he has never spoken to any of them as a little," I think I was the only one in the car to catch Jungkook's weird expression at that sentence. He looked down and off to the side, moving his tongue around in his mouth, eyes wide. Then he lifted his gaze again and bit his tongue, almost as if nothing happened. But it did, and I saw it, "It isn't like two different people or two different personalities. Just two different headspaces, he thinks differently, perceives things differently and identifies things differently."

"Jeongguk.... Do you have something to say?" Everyone, excluding Jin-Hyung, looked to him as his eyes widened and mouth opened slightly, not knowing what to say.

"I may have talked to him once or twice while he was little. I didn't know he was little but I could tell he wasn't exactly himself. It was when I first joined, I'd been living with you guys for like a month and one day he was in the kitchen drinking from a sippy cup and talking strange. We had a little conversation and then I left. Then two years ago it happened again when I accidentally woke him up when we were roommates and he called me gukie and asked for cuddles."

I felt jealous knowing someone else had talked to my baby and cuddled him, "So would that mean he already knows you?"

"Maybe if I told him my name he'd remember me but it's been a while." He shrugged his shoulders and looked at him with curiosity.

We sat in our seats on the plane, I had Yoongi on my lap. He was sitting with his legs crossed and facing me while I tickled him and complimented him and did whatever I could to make him giggle.

"I've got a surprise, baby." I reached for my carry-on and pulled out the bunny teddy I had stuffed in there, he'd only had it while he was sleeping so I figured that would mean it'd be a surprise for him.

He gasped and made grabby hands, so I gave him the teddy and he pulled it close to his chest, squeezing it and hiding his face in the soft toy, "Fank 'ou, Daddy!!"

He hugged me close and proceeded to stay like that, laying on top of me with the bunny in his arms. He pointed at the small tv in front of us and I turned it on, they had thousands of movies and music videos on here so I put one of ours on. I wanted to see how little Yoongi would react to seeing one of our videos, I put on 'Spring Day' and gave him one of the earphones, putting the other in my own ear.

We listened to the song together until I heard him happily murmur, "Daddy's voice is pitty. Look at his handsome face!"

He pointed to where I was on the screen and I smiled at his cute compliment and kissed his head, after that I put on some movies, mainly all kids movies but I didn't care.

I saw Jin-Hyung coming back from the bathroom and waved him over, indicating with my eyes for him to introduce himself to Yoongi.

"Yoonie, someone wants to meet you," I poked his sides and he paused the movie, politely taking out his earphone and looking up at Jin-Hyung.

"Hi, I'm Kim Seokjin, otherwise known as worldwide handsome. You can call me Jin." He smiled wide and I facepalmed at his introduction.

Yoongi sat up and smiled at him, "Nice to mee' 'ou, Jinnie. My name Yoonie, an' vis my new teddy Daddy go' me. Do yike it?"

Jin-Hyung raised his eyebrows at me when Yoongi referred to me as Daddy but otherwise he was amazing with him. It was as if he was born to take care of young people, "You've got such a great Daddy, it's so pretty and it looks soft. What a cute little bunny, you know you're pretty cute yourself."

He crouched down and pinched Yoongi's cheeks toward the end, making the little blush and hide in my chest, "Fank 'ou."

He ruffled Yoongi's hair and laughed lightly as he walked off, saying bye to Yoongi who waved back.

"Jinnie is nice, he new fwen'?" I smiled at the loveable little boy in my lap, I held his small hands and booped his nose with my own.

"I think he'd love that baby."
