Adventures of a BTS Little //Discontinued \\

Quarentine

"I wanna go to the park!" Taehyung was pouting. They'd all been stuck at their home for over a week. No one was allowed outside except for essentials - and then only Jin or Namjoon went out for shopping.
"I told you already Tae, no one is allowed out except Jin or joonie - and that's to shop. Everyone has to stay inside so they don't get sick. Besides, the parks are closed too."
"Not fair! I'm bored!" The current middle-space Taehyung pouted, stomping his foot.
"How about we make some yummy snacks and watch movies?"
"Nooo. I wanna play! Outside! Park!"
Jimin sighed, knowing he wasn't going to be able to change the younger boy's mind about the park. 
Jin came out of his bedroom, hearing Taehyung and his whining. "How about we go swimming? We can play outside in our yard. But we can't go to the park Tae. Like your daddy said, it's closed right now."
"Swings - "
"I'm sorry Tae." Jin silenced the middle, shaking his head. "And if you keep whining you can stay inside and play instead." Tae crosses his arms in a huff, but shook his head.
"Play outside."
"Okay. Ask your daddy if he will help you change into swim trunks."
Taehyung turned his head, looking at Jimin with big round eyes. "Alright. Let's go change." Jimin took the middle's hand and led him away to get changed into swim trunks.

Once the pair got outside, Taehyung had forgotten his desire for the park as he hurried into the heated pool. "Careful!" Jimin reminded as he came out behind the middle, getting into the pool as well.
Taehyung squealed happily, grabbing his favorite pool toys from the storage box beside the ladder and jumping in.
"Look!" The middle exclaimed as he turned on a remote control boat, steering it around the pool waters.
"How neat!" Jimin replied, watching his little make the boat go around in circles.  It didn't take five minutes before all of the members had come outside and gotten in the pool. The other litttles squealing as they joined their friend in pool games.
"Go!" Kookie exclaimed before the three dived under water to try and grab those sinking toys. Seeing who could get the most.
Jimin held onto the edge of the pool, doing some stretches as he spoke. "This was a really good idea hyung." He said to jin, who was lounging in a pool float sipping a drink.
"They've all been getting grumpy lately. All three of them Stay in headspace most all day now and they get cranky about being stuck at home." JHope added, leaning against the pool wall - relaxing.
"I'm also hoping that this tires them out. Since we can't go anywhere to get their energy out when they're hyper - they've all got to much energy." Jin informed the caretakers. "Namjoon!" The eldest gasped when the leader suddenly came up from under water, his hands groping at the male as he did so.
"What?" The leader smirked innocently. He floated behind the eldest member, arms wrapping around Jin's broad shoulders. "After this maybe they'll all go down for naps."
"I hope so. I love them but they've driving me nuts the past two weeks." Jin said.
"We need to find more things to keep them busy." JHope stated. It was true. Since they country was on a stay at home quarantine- they could take the littles out on trips to the park, or museums, or the mall. They were stuck at home trying to find things to do. And because they're wasn't much to keep them busy, they took to staying in headspace almost constantly now. None of the caregivers minded, but it was hard to find things to keep them busy and happy with little resources and no warning.
"I bet I can find some ideas on Pinterest." Jimin said. "There's all kinda of crafts and games on there for kids."
"Daddy!" Yoongi suddenly called out, interrupting the caregivers' conversation.
"Yes baby?" JHope asked, pushing himself off the pool wall as Yoongi swam to him.
"TaeTae hit me with noodle!" The little complained as he swam up to JHope and wrapped his body around the male.
Taehyung, who was ready to whack Jungkook with a pool noodle, heard Yoongi and dropped the weapon "nuh uh!"
Jimin stood up straight in the pool "TaeTae! We don't hit people! And don't try and lie I saw you about to hit kookie!" The man scolded.
"But daddy -"
"No buts. I want you to get out the pool and sit on the ledge for five minutes. You need to remember why we don't hit people."
"No!" Taehyung started to plead, he wanted to stay in the pool.
"If I have to help you out it won't be fun for you taetae. One -" Jimin began counting, making taehyung hurry to the pool ladder. "Five minutes."
Taehyung pouted as he sat cross-legged at the edge of the pool after grabbing his pool towel from the lounge chair. The caretakers went back to chatting as Taehyung sat in timeout.
JHope got Yoongi to calm down and sent him back to playing with jungkook.
"Taehyung! Feet out the water!" Jin scolded when he looked sideways and saw Taehyung dipping his feet in the pool and splashing.
"But Eomma -!"
"No buts! Unless you want yours spanked!" The eldest threatened.
"No!" Taehyung quickly brought his feet back to him.
"good, now you have three minutes left. Sit quietly and think about why daddy put you in this timeout."
"He's a handful..." Jimin sighed.
"Hopefully tae will get all his energy out." Namjoon laughed at Jimin's ball of energy that was Taehyung. 
"Daddy!" Taehyung started to whine after another minute.
"You got another minute taetae. The more you talk the longer it takes." Jimin said looking over to the middle.
"I'm sorry," the middle said, giving his best pouty face. "I won't hit no mo'. Can I p'easeeeeee get back in the pool and play?"
Jin gave Jimin a 'don't you dare' look, knowing the younger was contemplating it - the look in Jimin's face said it all.
"Say sorry to Yooni and Kookie first."
"Kookie! Yoongi! I sorry I hitted you! I won't do it no more! Promise!"
Both littles pouted for a second but the nodded "okay! You can play with us again!" Yoongi determined.
"Daddy?"
"Okay. You can get back in."
"Yay! Thank you daddy!" Taehyung hurried and out his tower back on the lounge chair and then raced to dive into the pool.
"Jimin, you can't keep ending his timeouts early like that." Jin said firmly.
"Ahhh. He said sorry though. And he's so cute. I can't help it!"
Jin was going to scold the man on why he needed to be firmer - but Namjoon pulled him off the pool float and into the water "yah! Kim namjoo-!" He stopped mid yell when the leader pulled him close and bit his collarbone.
"Your so sexy when you're angry."
"Why do you Insist on doing these things in front of everyone!"
"Cause youre cute when you get flustered." The leader grinned when Jin smacked him. "Harder."
"KIM NAMJOON I SWEAR IM GOING TO -"
"Get a room you two." Hoseok laughed at the couple.
"That's a great idea. Come on mommy. They can take care of the littles. Let's go."
"I told you not to call me that!" Jin said as Namjoon forced him out the pool - not really objecting as he was carried off inside.
"Where Eomma and daddy go?" Jungkook asked as his main caregivers left.
"They went to take a nap." Hoseok said.
"Which is what you three are getting ready to have." Jimin said to them.
"No!" All three boys objected.
"Yes. Twenty more minutes and then you need baths to wash your hair. And then naptime." Jimin informed them of the plan.
"Daddy!" Taehyung huffed.
"Not tired!" Yoongi claimed.
"Whyyyyy!" Jungkook whined.
"Do you want to pout and argue for the next twenty minutes or play some more?" Hoseok asked.
"Play!" They all hurriedly agreed, quickly going back to their games.
~~~~~~
After the twenty minutes were up, all three littles (and middlespaced taehyung) were beginning to show signs of tiredness. They were still playing, but they'd slowed down considerably and were no longer shouting and squealing.
"Okay boys. Time for baths and then naptime."
"Five more minutes," Taehyung said when jhope called them out the pool. Jimin and Hoseok has already been out the pool and dry by now - lounging in the sun and drinking.
"No sir, come on, out." Jimin held open a towel, waiting for his little one to obey.
Jungkook climbed out the pool and let Hoseok wrap him in his towel. The youngest more tired than his friends.
"I want a snack daddy!" Yoongi said, scrambling out the pool as well.
"Okay. But Only a little one. How about some peaches and yogurt?"
"Ooo! Peaches please!"
"Let's get your two inside with a snack. I'll give Jungkook's gloom a bath first and you can eat okay?"
"Okay!"
Taehyung slowly dragged himself out the pool, he was obviously tired. But he was a bratty middle and didn't like to do anything the easy way. "Good boy," Jimin wrapped Tae up in his towel. "Let's get you that bath. You want to share a bath with Kookie or have your own?"
"Own bath."
"Okay, lets go inside."
~~~~~~
Jungkook's bathtime went the quickest. after he made up yoongi's light snack and sat the boy down to eat, he took Jungkook to the bathroom. "Let's just take a quick shower instead of a bath, hm?"
Jungkook nodded sleepily, struggling to stay awake. J-Hope didn't even give him a full on shower. He had the little kneel in front of the tub and lean his head into it. Just rinsing his hair and then washing it quickly. "Okay. All done." Jungkook stood and made grabby hands at the older man.
"Up."
Jungkook has slipped from his normal 3-4 into a headspace of 1 years old. His sleepiness getting to him.
"Okay." Jhope picked the little up and carried him, wrapped snuggly in a big bath towel, to the playroom. "You want your bunny pajamas?"
"Bun." He agreed, yawning and resting his head against J-Hope. Hoseok quickly changed the regressing little into the cute pajamas and then grabbed an orange paci from the "paci basket" (a basket filled with different pacis for all the littles) and slipped into Jungkook's mouth.
Jungkook cooed happily, the orange paci had a bunny on the front and it was one of his favorites. "You like your paci?" Hoseok asked as he moved Jungkook to be underneath the blankets and started to tuck him in. The maknae nodded, cooing happily once again. "You're such a cute baby. You want the nightlight on?" Jungkook nodded as he closed his eyes, already falling asleep.
~~~~~~
Jimin came in with Taehyung as Yoongi was starting his snack."you being good?" Jimin asked kissing Yoongi's head as he passed by to get a sippy cup of grape juice for Taehyung.
"Neh!" Yoongi nodded firmly as he stuck a peach in his mouth.
"Okay Taetae. Here you go." He brought the sippy to Taehyung. Who started to suck on it immediately.
"Thank yo!" He said in a gasp after a few big gulps.
"Your welcome. Now come on, bathtime." Taehyung went with no complaining this time. "Ah, Hobi Hyung must have put a pair of jammies in your bathroom for you." Jimin notes when he saw a pair of TaTa pajamas.
Jimin's bathtime with Taehyung lasted much longer than jungkook's. The middle was still awake enough that he wanted to play during his bathtime. Coloring with his manic crayons and playing with his bath toys. Jimin let him do so for fifteen minutes  as he cleaned the middle up - before he announced that bathtime was over.
"Wanna color more!"
"You can color after naptime." Jimin said as he pulled the plug in the tub. "Up." He helped the middle stand, wrapping him in a towel and drying him off.
"Nap with Kookie?"
"Of course. I bet he's in the playroom bed now already asleep. Kookie was very tired from playing." Jimin got Taehyung changed into PJs and then they went to the playroom. Hoseok has just turned the nightlight on when they entered.
"Ahh," Hoseok whispered "you ready for your naptime?"
"Uh Huh." Taehyung finally agreed to his nap, rubbing at his eyes. Taehyung crawled into the bed and cuddle up next to the already sleeping Jungkook.
"You want a song?" Jimin asked as Hoseok tucked the blanket back down around them both before leaving to retrieve yoongi.
"Song."
~~~~~
Yoongi had finished his snack by the time Hoseok came back. And even out his dishes in the sink.
"I put away in sink!" Yoongi said, opening his hands to show the cleared table.
"I see! What a good boy!" Hoseok praised the little. "Ready for your bathtime?"
"Uh Huh!" They went upstairs to the bathroom and Yoongi immediate grabbed his toy dolphin as the water began to fill up the tub.
Yoongi played with his dolphin as Hoseok washed his hair. Giggling happily. "You having fun? Lean forward."
Yoongi leaned forward and Hoseok poured water over his head. "Uh Huh!" The little handed his dolphin to his daddy when his hair was washed. "I'm s'eepy though. Nap?"
"Naptime. Let's get you dressed and laid down." Hoseok gathered the last little up and got him dressed in yoongi's bedroom, "wanna nap here or with Kookie and Tae?"
"Kookie and Tae!" Hoseok nodded, leading Yoongi back out and to the playroom. Jimin was still in there, singing lullabies as Taehyung began to fall asleep.
Yoongi went straight to the bed, Jimin pulled the covers back and let Yoongi into the bed before tucking him in beside taehyung. Hoseok came around and slipped a pink pacifier into yoongi's mouth gently, the little taking it happily before snuggling down and closing his eyes. Falling asleep to Jimin's lullabies with Taehyung (Jungkook already fast asleep on the other side of the bed).
