Appa Jin

Chapter 7

"A bath?" Jungkook asks, holding his arms around my neck as I carry him upstairs.

"Yep! Have you never had a bath before?" I ask, walking into the bathroom and setting him on the counter.

"Not since I was 5." He shrugs.

"Then did you just take showers?" I frown, looking around for soap.

"Well, we showered up until the age of 9, then they just sprayed us down with a hose." He mumbles. I stop my movements and look up at him.

"What kind of evil people are out there these days?" I groan, kissing him on the head before starting the water, making sure it's a comfortable temperature.

"Did I make you mad?" Jungkook asks in a small tone. I turn around to face him, my face softening.

"Of course not Kookie, the other people who have hurt you make me mad." I sigh, rubbing his arms. I grab the soap bottle, pouring some in the tub and watching the bubbles form.

"Do you want a bath bomb?" I ask.

"Bath bomb? Will it explode?" Jungkook asks, frightened.

"No silly, it's a colorful ball of powder that evaporates in the water. I'll show you." I grab a small green ball the size of my palm, fill the sink with some water and pop it in. Jungkook watches as it fizzes up and turns the water green.

"See? Safe and smells amazing." I grin widely.

"Okay! Can I pick a color?" He asks excitedly.

"Of course." I laugh, handing him the small bag full of bath bombs in different colors ,shapes and sizes. He eventually picks a blue robot.

"Perfect choice." I take the bomb from his hands, placing it beside the water.

"Alright, I'm going to go get your pajamas. Undress yourself and slip into the tub, I'll be right back." I instruct, opening the door. He nods before I close the door. I walk to his room, the boys deciding to share the same room for now. They all sleep in a king sized bed comfortably together.. other than last night when I woke up with them on me. I walk into their closet, going to Jungkook's side and picking out a black t shirt and white and black plaid pajama pants, as well as a new pair of boxers.

"Jungkook? Are you ready?" I ask, knocking on the bathroom door.

"Yes!" He calls as the sound of swishing water fills my ears. I open the door and see him sitting in the tub, his body mostly covered by the bubbles. I place his clothes on the sink as well as a folded beige towel. I kneel next to the tub, rolling up my sleeves and smiling.

"Do you remember what to do first?" I chuckle, watching him look at the bubbles with fascination.

"Um... wet my hair and body?" He asks, cocking his head to the side.

"Such a smarty pants." I grin, holding under his head as he lays down under the water, keeping his face above, using my other hand to scoop up some water, spilling it on his hair. He sits back up, blowing away some of the water that drips down onto his face.

"Can we use the bomb now?" He asks, eyeing the blue robot.

"Sure buddy." I reply, grabbing the bomb and handing it to him. It fizzles in his wet hand, earning a loud giggle from him before putting the bomb in the water, watching it fizzle up faster and turn the water blue. His giggles fill the room as I scrub his hair with fruity shampoo, making sure to get behind his ears and the bottom of his neck. I lean him back again, rinsing off his hair before applying conditioner, spiking up his hair into different directions.
