"I need help a little." Kangwoo gripped onto Yoongi as he stepped into his undies, one leg at a time, almost falling over twice but he did it and soon he had underwear on. And he looked down at them, dismayed but learning to live with it. "I don't wear diapers any more." He was a big boy. Big boys peed in the potty and wore underwear. It was ... not fun. And tiring. And the toilet was scary so he still just went in his pants a lot.
The toilet looked like it wanted to eat him! It was just a big scary mouth. "I'm all grown up. I'm four." By Korean age, anyway. "Big boy." He held his arms up so Yoongi could put his shirt on.
"Very big boy. And already no diapers, huh? Woooow." Yeah, he'd have to give them a heads up about taking him to the toilet regularly. "Do you want to go to the bathroom with hyung, so you can go to the toilet? I can help."
Seemed like it'd be a bit high up otherwise. Yoongi put Kangwoo's shirt on for him, carefully avoiding his ears as much as he could. He had paid attention before after all. "Ohh, so cool. Giraffes are funny animals, aren't they?"
"No." He shook his head and then smiled up at Yoongi. "I don't need to go." He was very happy to adjust his shirt and look down at the animal on his shirt, distracted from the idea of the scary mouth toilet monster. Much like the scary bath monster that happened when water was draining, he had learned to avoid it as best he could. In general, bathrooms were scary!
Sitting on the floor in his undies and t-shirt, he started to look at the carpet and run his fingers along it. "I never seen one but I like this shirt. It's the fun shirt." The only fun shirt he owned. "Fun shirt is for good days." And this was a good day, he had bananas!
"What if we got you more fun shirts, huh? Like Star Wars." Yoongi pulled Kangwoo close so he could help him put on his shirts, trying to get to the bottom of this. He kept his voice low, not wanting him to feel like he was in trouble. "Kangwoo, is there a reason you don't like the toilet, maybe?"
"Star Wars." Kangwoo nodded as he bounced a bit and almost sat on Yoongi's knee, squirming excitedly. Soon, he was lying across Yoongi's lap, sprawling and looking at the ceiling, not sure why Yoongi was talking so soft and nice about such a bad thing. He had to do things and they were not fun so the strict tone was used. Like the toilet, washing his hair, brushing his teeth and all of those scary things appa yelled over.
"Toilet is scary." He opened his mouth wide and then snapped his teeth. "It bit me once." In a dream.
"I see." Yoongi stroked Kangwoo's hair carefully, gently combing it back from his face and just feeling how soft it was. What a cute boy he was. "See, my toilet here doesn't bite. But to make sure, maybe hyung can come with and scare the toilet into behaving? And then when you're done, you can be in hyung's arms and hyung can flush, so you will be all safe."
"Okay!" Kangwoo beamed up at his hyung and petted his face. He was also a cute boy. He could take care of hyung and hyung could take care of him. The pinkie promised to stay safe so he had to scare off all the scary mean things too... even if that was scary in and of itself. He clung onto his hyung and hugged him from the side, lazily and not well executed. "We're friends, hyung."
Like best friends! He read about those in the story books he had.
"We are friends!" Yoongi agreed and then got up, gathering the clothes Kangwoo had laid out for him under one arm and offering his free hand to Kangwoo. "The bathroom is right through that door. We will need to get you a few things, I don't really have stuff for boys."
Luckily he trusted that Namjoon and Hobi would very gladly take care of all of that. "And tonight you can have bath time in the tub, yeah? Do you like taking a bath?"
"No." In general, he hated the bathroom but he did like being clean so there was that. He clung onto Yoongi's leg and pressed his face into his jean covered leg. "I hate water." It got in his ears, up his nose, in his eyes! It burned and hurt, it was too wet and sometimes it got ticklish. He didn't wanna go near it but he knew he had to.
"I likkkkkkke... juice." Maybe he could bathe in juice. Maybe he could ask the shiny people. Maybe they would do it!
"Hmm... I can't promise you that you can bathe in juice, but maybe we can make it so the water has a nice colour and a good smell? That's what hyung does." As he explained that, Yoongi reached for one of his bath bombs, holding it down to present it to Kangwoo. "Just smell, no licking. That's nice, right?"
Maybe he could help him get over whatever trauma he associated with water.
Kangwoo sniffed it and hmmed curiously. Sniffed again. Then he held it up to his hyung with a baffled experience. "It's like berries!" But it wasn't berries so how did that thing smell of berries? Were they putting berries in his bath. That was like bathing in juice. Kinda. Except he couldn't lick it. Could he not lick the juice water too?
"Do you like water?" Was hyung also scared or did he take baths like a champ too?
"I don't like all water, but I like bath water. Because it's all warm and soft and smells nice. You just need to take a bath the way hyung does, then it won't be scary at all." Yoongi made his promise and then returned the bath bomb, not wanting to risk Kangwoo licking it after all.
"Now, how about you go to the toilet? And hyung can play a song on his phone, make it less scary."
