"You don't need to apologise, if you didn't go I damn well would have. Jin's right though, it was stupid to leave her with only one of us. We know how sick he is, but we don't know if he has people working with or for him." Namjoon says running a hand through his hair.

"Yoongi suggested we take her out in pairs in future. We don't know how long he'd been watching, he could have been following us all day and for a big part of that it was just me with her." I say bitterly, the thought of him watching or having someone watch us bringing my rage back up.

Our conversation is interrupted by a small figure standing in the doorway clutching a plushie penguin to her chest.

"Sweetheart you're up, couldn't you sleep?" I ask gently.

"No sweep now, had 'nuff..." she mumbles rubbing her eyes before blinking at us.

"Are you hungry baby girl? Shall we get Jinnie to make you some food?" Namjoon offers, pulling her into a tight hug.

"Ya Joonie, you squishing Pingy!" She exclaims pouting.

"Oh my bad Gracie, sorry Pingy!" He says pulling back and patting the penguin on the head.

She gives him a weird look, before saying "Joonie, is not weal..." turning and heading out of the room to find Jin. I burst out laughing as Namjoon stands there mouth open trying to process what just happened.

"You got told Hyung!" I manage to get out as I laugh.

"Apparently so!" He agrees letting out a chuckle.

"Come on, let's see if we can make the rest of the day as good as the first part."  I say with a small smile before heading out to collect some things from Grace's room.

Jin's POV

"Jinnie!" I hear before Gracie wraps her arms around me from behind the sofa.

"Hey Little Peach, how're you feeling?" I ask, hoping she's better than she was when she was in the car earlier.

"My tummy is hungwy Jinnie, can I haff food?" My God she's adorable...

"Of course Gracie, good girl for asking!" I say proudly giving an arm wrapped around me a kiss.

"Come come!" She commands before scurrying off into the kitchen.

I pull myself up, smiling when I walk into the kitchen to see her sat on a stool, legs swinging happily as she waits for me.

"Do you know what you want Little Peach?" I ask walking to the fridge.

"Just nummies pwease." She says shrugging, legs still swinging.

"Are you going to watch me cook, or did you want to go and play with one of the others while you wait?" I ask rifling through the fridge collecting what I needed.

"Pway? Pweeeaaase!" She whines excitedly.

"Off you go then, I'll come find you when it's ready." I smile before turning to begin chopping the vegetables.

Jimin's POV

"Ya Jungkook, I'm sure you cheat!" I shout throwing my controller on the bed.

"It couldn't just be that you suck?" He replies cockily, causing me to punch his arm.

"Bad ChimChim! No hurt Bunny!" Comes a cross little voice from the doorway, her arms folded as she frowns at me.

"Yeah ChimChim, don't hurt me!" Jungkook says dramatically rubbing his arm smirking at me.

"You dick Jungkook." I whisper lowly shaking my head at him as I try and hold back a smile.

"Say sowwy ChimChim." She continues, looking at me waiting.

I turn back to Jungkook, his eyebrows raised as he's trying not to laugh. "You heard the girl Jimin, apologise." He tries to say seriously, his voice wobbling as he chokes back a laugh.

I scowl at him, sighing before saying through gritted teeth, "I'm sorry I hurt you Jungkook."

"Thank you for apologising Jimin, I forgive you." He says patronisingly placing a hand on his chest, nodding his head.

"Jeon Jungkook, you wait until you don't have Gracie to save you." I whisper playfully so she can't hear.

*-*

We're sat cross legged on the floor in Grace's room, waiting to be served tea from a tiny floral teapot.

"Jungkook you look so pretty with those bows in your hair, it really suits you!" I say teasing as he scowls at me when Gracie isn't looking. Payback is a bitch Kookie...

Gracie had asked us to play tea party with her, so that's how we ended up here. Jungkook however, ended up looking like the prettiest little maknae ever when I remembered the box of hair accessories I'd bought for Gracie. She was more than happy to clip the little bows randomly into his hair, her tongue sticking out as she worked, it was adorable.

Suddenly Hobi bursts into the room about to say something before he's stopped when he sees the scene in front of him.

"Jungkook sooo cute!" Hobi teases, pinching one of Jungkook's cheeks.

"Ya Hyung, what do you want?" Jungkook groans swatting his hand away.

"Jin sent me up to get you all, he said food was ready and he'd like us to eat together." Hobi explains, his smile wide as he eyes Jungkook.

"Nummies!" Gracie squeals, scrambling to get up, knocking her tea cup off it it's saucer.

"Careful sunshine, there's no rush." Hobi says putting his hands out to steady her.

"Let's gooooo!" She bounces, pulling Hobi out of the door after her.

"We're even now right?" Jungkook groans pulling clips out of his hair.

"Even." I chuckle, collecting up the tea set and placing it back into the drawer.

*-*

As we sit down to eat, I notice that Gracie has a cute bamboo plate shaped like a panda in front of her, a pink flowery cup next to it, I can't help but smile. Hobi's entertaining her by booping her on her nose with his finger, her sweet giggles filling the room. As I look around the table, I notice everyone's eyes are on her, watching the cuteness radiate from her. She's grown so comfortable with us in such a short time. I feel my heart sink when I think back to when I first saw her tiny body laying on the sofa. Never again...
