Chapter 1

●●●

The first time Taehyung met Jimin and Jungkook, was quite the experience. His mother had taken him to the park to meet other children. He had just moved. New city. New people. Overall the whole experience had felt almost overwhelming.

He didn't like the idea of having to make 'new friends'. He already had friends, so he didn't get why he couldn't see those anymore.

Which was why he insisted to stay with his parents even at the park. He didn't want to meet new children... all he wanted to do was to get his parents to step back into the car and drive back to Daegu.

So he just sat there, frowning and staring into the distance, when he noticed two boys playing in the sandpit. They weren't talking to one another. Just playing next to each other without saying one word.

He watched as both of them kept glancing at the other like they wanted to ask him to join their game... but neither made the first step... until one of the boys, tiny with rosy round cheeks grabbed one of the toys the other boy was playing with.

For a second the other boy stared at him and then he just burst out into tears. The other boy panicked, putting the toy back down, but that didn't help. Tears kept falling and he screamed loud enough for Taehyung to hear it, who was still sitting with his parents.

Not really thinking about it he got up grabbing his own toys from where they were lying on the floor next to his mothers bag before jogging over to the crying child and the rosy cheeked who was sitting next to him, trying to calm him down, but failed.

"You can play with my toys if you want." He quickly offered dropping onto his knees next to the crying boy. The boy sniffed, looking at his toys before rubbing his snotty nose with one hand, the other hesitantly reaching for one of the toy tractors Taehyung had gotten for his birthday.

The tears finally stopped as the boy put the toy down and moved it over the sand. As if forgetting about the horror he had felt just seconds ago a smile blossomed on his face, the tears still making his cheeks shiny.

The boy next to him, with the rosy cheeks frowned looking up at Taehyung. "I didn't wanna make him cry..." he trailed off looking at the ground. "I just think his toys are really cool."

The boy who had just been playing with Taehyung's tractor looked up, mustering rosy cheeks for a couple of seconds before hesitantly taking the toy he had taken before and holding it into his direction. He quickly averted his gaze tho, never quite looking him in the eyes. "You play..."

Hesitantly the boy took the toy car. And the smaller boy smiled, revealing cute bunny teeth.

Taehyung hesitated. He really hadn't wanted to get to know anyone here... but he also had given his toys to the boy and he didn't dare to leave them alone again. What if they destroyed something?

"I... wanna play together?"

And they turned into that thing. Maybe not that kind of thing. The kind of thing children would have in kindergarten, where their parents just wouldn't shut up about just how cute those three looked rolled up against each other and how adorable the idea of them staying best friends forever was.

But it never moved past that stage. What they had was purely platonic, at least from their point of view. Taehyung was just very protective of his two best friends, especially Jungkook, who just couldn't seem to take care of himself properly. Not that Jimin or Taehyung minded. Something about Jungkook's hamster cheeks and bunny teeth just made it impossible to be angry with him, no matter how bratty he could be at times. And it could be a real piece of work to take care of him and do basically everything for him because Jungkook was just so used to his hyungs spoiling the shit out of him.
