Little Things

Hide and Seek?

Jinnie and Suga play hide and seek with the guys but the guys don't know that

~~~~~~~~~~~

Admittedly, Jinnie is the mischievous little. Suga is just the little brother that follows what his big brother does. Suga copies everything Jinnie does and the older little adores him for that. If Jinnie fake cries, Suga fake cries; If Jinnie gets a snack, Suga wants the same one even if he really doesn't like it. It tickles Jinnie to death to see Suga frown up while he's eating.

So, it doesn't take much convincing to get Suga to play whatever game Jinnie wants to play.

It's just another warm day in the middle of spring. Everyone is at home and for that reason, Jinnie and Suga have come out to play. Well, Jinnie has. Suga is just following his hyung. Like now as Jinnie walks upstairs while all of the caregivers sit in the living room; giving them the excuse that: "Jinnie going to the bathroom." Of course, Suga followed with an identical excuse.

"Suga, wanna play hide and seek?" Jinnie asks the younger as soon as they enter their room. Of course, Suga nods and Jinnie grins at the younger in response.

"Yay! Okay, Jinnie and Suga hide while Papas seek." The taller little says and Suga nods enthusiastically, loving his hyung's idea. Jinnie takes Suga's hand and walks out into the hallway.

"So Jinnie hide in Papa Joonie's room and Suga hide in Papa Hobi's room." The older little quietly instructs and Suga nods before scurrying off to his destination. Jinnie cheekily grins as he heads to their Papa Joonie's room to hide as well.

Ten minutes pass and neither little have come back downstairs, worrying the caregivers.

"Hobi hyung, will you go check on the little ones?" Namjoon asks, fiddling with his phone. He and Seokjin had gotten into an argument the night before which resulted in him waking up in his headspace. The little had been avoiding him all day which made Suga avoid him as well. The caregiver himself feels too guilty to approach the littles.

"Sure!" Hoseok quickly jumps up from his spot on the couch and practically runs upstairs to the bathroom.

"Babies, are you all right in there?" The red-haired caregiver asks as he knocks on the door. He once made the mistake of opening the door without notice and got peed on. It was hilarious to everyone but Hoseok.

The man grows suspicious when he receives no response, not even quiet giggles. The caregiver opens the door and finds the bathroom empty.

"Oh boy..." Hoseok steps towards the stairs and calls out, "Hey, guys, we have a code red. I repeat, a code red on our hands!"

Immediately, the other four caregivers are clambering up the stairs; all look just as panicked as Hoseok feels.

"They're missing?" Namjoon squeaks out but Hoseok shakes his head.

"We just need to search the house. They never came back downstairs and they're both scared of heights." Hoseok reasons and Namjoon shakily nods his head, his heart having nearly stopped at the thought of the littles running away.

"Let's search our rooms and see if they're in there," Taehyung suggests and the rest nod their heads before scurrying off to their respective rooms.

Hoseok enters his room and nearly collapses into a fit of giggles. There's a lump on his bed covered by his mint green blanket. Quietly, the caregiver pulls back the blanket enough to see Suga's sleeping face, his pink-colored hair a mess. Hoseok enters a mental battle trying to decide whether he should wake the boy before deciding not to, backing out of the room quietly and shutting the door softly.

"Did you find one of the babies, Hobi hyung?" Jimin asks and smiles when Hoseok nods.

"I think I know where Jinnie is too." The elder says and looks towards Namjoon's room.

When Namjoon enters his room, he looks around carefully and notices his once-open closet door is now shut.

"Jinnie, are you in there? Is Suga with you?" The white-haired man calls out, walking towards the closet. Slight rustling can be heard but no actual response is given.

"Baby... I'm so sorry I was a meanie to Seokjin. You know I love you both dearly and would never hurt either of you on purpose. Papa was just so tired and stressed that he took it out on the closest person and that was wrong of me. Can you ever forgive me, baby?"

Namjoon waits for a response...

"Papa, no one talks this much during hide and seek?" Namjoon spins around upon hearing Jinnie's voice from... under his bed?

"Jinnie?"

The pink-haired little pokes his head out from under the end of the bed with a grin on his face.

"You didn't find me, Papa. Jinnie showed himself to you so Jinnie wins." The little declares cheekily as he wiggles out from under the bed and stands up.

Namjoon's eyes widen before he smiles and pulls the little into a hug.

"Yeah, Jinnie wins... Does Jinnie forgive Papa?"

Jinnie hugs the caregiver back for a moment before pulling away quickly.

"No!" The little exclaims before running out of the room, leaving Namjoon dumbfounded.

"I should've expected that."
