"Definitely. Throw away the bananas and let's watch Star Wars, just the two of us. We can also just lock the bedroom door so--"

"NO!" Kangwoo screamed as he crawled out from the bed, naked and scared. He didn't want to get locked in, lose all of his bananas and not watch Star Wars. Sobbing, he sat on the floor by the bed and Namjoon crouched down to pick him up and hold him.

"We were kidding, it's okay! Come on, smile for uncle Joonie!" When Kangwoo kept on sobbing, he gave Hobi a look. "Erm... you try?"

[yourhope]

Hobi looked at Namjoon with a helpless shrug, then he crouched down opposite him and Kangwoo and decided that a chant might do it. He knew the keywords by now. "Ba-na-na! Ba. Na. Na! Ba! Na! Na!"

He made some monkey sounds for good measure, then continued on. "Banana! Banana! Bababa. Nanana! Bababa! Nanana!"

What a great song he had just invented.

[monie]

It was so loud, exciting and baffling to Kangwoo that he did stop crying as he watched Hobi, mesmerised and unsure. He sniffled and wiped at his eyes, looking at his shiny men questioningly. "Bananana?"

Was he getting a banana? He was a bit hungry. He missed good hyung too. Good hyung wouldn't make him get into scary water that was still running and throw away all the bananas.

"You want a banana? Awesome. Let's get you one." He smiled at Hobi and offered Kangwoo out to him. "Here, you hold him, I'll get a banana... and find his pants."

[yourhope]

"Pants are good," Hobi agreed, picking up Kangwoo and singing the banana song slightly more subdued, perhaps a bit jazzy, as he made his way toward the living room. They could just forget about the bath for now. "One banana for Kangwoo, woo! One banana for Kangwoo, woo!"

Hey, it ended in woo, no way would he not make use of that.

[monie]

Kangwoo giggled despite the tears still on his face and flapped his arms, very excited by the silly uncle who made silly noises. By the time Namjoon came back, Kangwoo was smiling and a lot more receptive. "Okay, Kang-ah, you get a banananana when you stay still and let us put your pants on."

They were clean pyjama pants so ... that didn't need undies with it, right? Whatever. He was hoping so. He let Hobi set Kangwoo down and tried to wrestle his pants onto him but somehow, pants were hard to put on a kid. "Urgh, why are pants so tricky?"

"Bananananana woo. Banananana wooooo." Kangwoo chanted as he kicked his legs and dislodged his foot from the pant leg, flailing his arms up at Hobi. "Nananananananananana."

[yourhope]

"Nananananana!" Hobi agreed, but he also noticed that Namjoon was struggling with the pants and so he leaned down and lowered his voice a lot, singing a very slow, slow version of the banana song, so that hopefully Kangwoo's kicking would subside for the moment. Kangwoo did seem to respond to his singing a lot, so here was hoping.

"Baaaaanaaaaanaaaaanaaaa..... Baaaaa.... naaaaaa.... naaaaaa.... naaaaaaa...." And as the pants were on, Hobi whooped. "Woo!"

Success. He picked Kangwoo back up and cuddled him close before falling down on the sofa with him. "Feeling better now, Kang-ah?"

[monie]

Kangwoo smiled and nodded, happily squirming around now he felt less distressed and less scared of the bath. Namjoon peeled his banana and held it out for him, watching the boy take happy, messy bites of his favourite fruit.

"I wonder why he loves bananas so much." They were fun but he didn't get the hype. Then again, it was a fun word. Banana. "I think we avoided a crisis, he seems chill and the rug looks..."

It had a giant wet patch. Hmm. Namjoon got up, pulled a nearby table over it and then sat back down. There. Handle. "I think Kang-ah is calmer now. You have a good way with kids, Hyung."

[yourhope]

"That is because I'm such a lovely flower," Hobi assured him, holding his chin in his hands and tilting his head to the side with a loving smile directed first at Namjoon and then at little Kangwoo. "You love your Hobi-hyung, don't you?"

How could he not be loved? "Soooo, are we still set for Star Wars or do you wanna take a dance break first? Shake your booty?"

[monie]

Kangwoo just wanted Star Wars so he excitedly chanted it until Namjoon put it on and then a silence fell. A precious, beautiful silence as Kangwoo focused on the TV and little else. He happily slid off Hobi so he could stand in front of the TV, excitedly swaying as he watched the film he loved the most.

And Namjoon finally had some time to check his phone and catch up on some messages. "You know, this kid is easy to handle... as long as Star Wars is on."

[yourhope]

Hobi stretched out on the couch, placing his head on Namjoon's nap. What a nice pillow he made! "Next time the only thing we do is watch Star Wars. So much less work."

And no more brave attempts at giving him a bath or anything crazy like that. Although he figured they could still feed him. "Any interesting messages? So much drama going on right now with the Dark Dragons, people making offers, switching sides... I'm so glad I'm not Yoongi-hyung."

Seemed like a lot of stress.

[monie]

"Just some shit about suspected people leaving the Park family and some stuff I decided to track pinging up who is who. We have so many people joining the Dark Dragons. Cheon has a gross appeal and he's a legit gangster." Jimin was cute, sure, but he was not a gangster. Cheon had an old school family, a proper empire, he knew who was who and he had plans. Jimin had cuteness and confusion.

"We're all so fucked if it keeps up like this."

[yourhope]

"Not much to do, is there? Unless someone takes out Cheon... But even then, like, there's just no one to fill that power vacuum. Jimin-nim is cute, but he's not cut out for that." Adorableness unfortunately wasn't really a quality highly sought after in a gang leader. Hobi didn't want to think about it like that, but if he didn't know Jimin, he wouldn't have believed he could survive for long.

"Do you think the boss is going to stay with Jimin-nim?"

[monie]

"I couldn't say. Right now, it might depend on how he reacts to Kangwoo-ah. I don't know, maybe he'll stay with him or maybe he'll just find another offer. Jimin is... kinda screwed." He didn't see many ways for Jimin to survive unless he grew up and changed in the next two weeks. Max. If people kept leaving... it could only get worse.

"He'll never work for Cheon though." That was something. "I wouldn't ever either. That guy is gross."

[yourhope]

"Nah, of course he wouldn't." Hobi didn't doubt that for a second, which was why he was very happy to just follow Yoongi and leave the decision making up to him. He tended to be smart about that. He reached up to grab Namjoon's wrist and led his hand to his hair, smiling up at him serenely. He deserved pets! "Cheon wouldn't be easy to take out. I kinda hope we do that, would be a challenge."

[monie]

"Would be fun too." He petted Hobi happily as he watched Star Wars ... kinda. It was hard to watch with Kangwoo wiggling excitedly in front of the TV but he could see most of it. "We could defeat Cheon and then maybe someone good will fill the void. A Dark Dragon leader we like - that'd be fascinating." He did wonder how loyalties would change then. He knew some people only stayed with Jimin out of a loathing for the Dragons. "Either way, things are going to get wild."

[bluemold]

"Kang-ah? I'm home." Yoongi had just taken his shoes off and made his way into the living room. Hobi wisely paused the movie, so Kangwoo wouldn't miss any of that over his excitement over Yoongi's return.

And Yoongi lifted Kangwoo up into his arms, holding him while he looked over the room, noting the table on the middle of the rug.

"...why did we rearrange furniture?"

"Feng shui!"

[kangawoo]

Kangwoo squealed happily and ran up to Yoongi, flapping his arms a little and then looking up at him, bright and interested, eyes focused on his yellow shirt. They were like brothers now! He liked that.

"We wanted to make the living room look... better." Namjoon argued as he started to get up and hoping to leave before Yoongi hurt them. "Anyway, we better go."

Before the whole 'the boy peed on the rug' issue came out.

[bluemold]

Yoongi held Kangwoo in his arms and pressed his lips against his forehead for just a moment, wanting him to know he was well taken care of. Then he looked at the table again, while Hobi took Namjoon's hand and started to tug him toward the exit.

Hm. "You should stay."

At least until he'd figured this out. He turned his head to look at Kangwoo. "Hey, why is there a table on the rug, Kangwoo?"

[kangawoo]

Kangwoo wasn't sure what was happening so he looked at the rug, blinked a few times and then idly put his fingers in his mouth. "Wet."

"Yeah, he spilled juice. So, anyway, we're gonna--"

"I needed the toilet."

Damn it! Why couldn't that boy have shame? Namjoon winced and hid behind Hobi, hoping no one was going to yell. "Okay, yeah, he also... did that. But we did clean it."

[bluemold]

"Uh-huh. You owe me a rug. That's twenty thousand." Hobi gasped dramatically at that announcement, grasping his chest, but Yoongi wasn't even looking at him. Instead he just looked at Kangwoo. "Do you want to go to the toilet with hyung now? I know the silly boys aren't much help."

"Hey! I sang a banana song that he loved." Hobi wasn't going to have his babysitting skills disregarded entirely.

[kangawoo]

"They said there were no bananas for me. And then they wanted to lock me up. And--and--and! I -- there was water. And it hurt." Kangwoo pouted as he buried his head into Yoongi's neck, feeling a little confused and scared but not enough to worry. "It was okay cause then banananananananananana woo."

"Okay. I get it. That sounds bad but ... he was icky and we tried to give him a bath but it went badly and then we had to lure him out and ... yeah! Hobi sang a great song. He laughed."

They were yelling so Kangwoo whimpered and clung harder. No, he didn't like the sudden noise.

[bluemold]

"...whatever, just get lost and get me a new rug. We will discuss things later." Yoongi kept his voice quiet on purpose, because he could see that Kangwoo was getting upset. No wonder! Silly boys indeed. Hobi started to sneak toward the door, mumbling the whole time.

"Banana, woo! Banana, woo!" And he could keep going until they were outside.

Yoongi rolled his eyes and started to head toward the bedroom. "How about we have bath time and then we go back to movie watching together, Kang-ah?"

[kangawoo]

"I already had a bath."

Well. Technically. He was in a bad for all of five seconds so that counted. Bath achievement unlocked, time for TV time, story time and bed time. "I have Star Wars left. Han left. He's gonna comeback though." And he knew it cause he had seen it but also because Han was the best. Yoongi was like Han. He had a blaster.

"Am I in trouble?" He did make the rug wet and people seemed loud so he wasn't sure. Sometimes that meant bad things, sometimes it didn't.

[bluemold]

"No, you are not in trouble at all, Kang-ah. The silly boys are, but not you." Yoongi set Kangwoo down on the bed and ruffled his hair, then he quickly walked into the bathroom to turn on the warm water. He figured out that Kangwoo didn't like the sound, so he decided to let it fill while he waited with him in the next room.

And so he came back into the bedroom, smiling at Kangwoo. "Hyung can make bath time fun, I promise. Remember what I showed you? The bath bomb?"

[kangawoo]

"No eating it." Yes, he remembered. "No licking." Kangwoo nodded as he kicked his legs back and forth, watching his bare feet go up and down. It was easier than looking at Yoongi. He didn't need to look at him much though, he always just sort of sensed that things were okay. He had a steady, even tone that had enough gentleness in it that he always knew that Yoongi was all okay.

"I want to put it into the water." It was a bomb. Sounded fun!
