Hobi wrapped an arm around Jungkook to reassure him, although he already knew he'd not be able to get him to talk anyway. Mostly the boy only talked to them when he felt like it, when he wasn't feeling it only Yoongi mattered and Yoongi wasn't here right now. "He's three. I think."
He couldn't be sure, but that was what Jungkook said. Maybe he was four by now? "Suga knows for sure."
"It's amazing how much Suga knows and how little he tells," Jackson observed wisely, glancing at Namjoon when his phone vibrated. Easy guess there, he hoped Jin could help.
Sure, love. Is he injured?
"Suga knows everything," Tae told them, oblivious to the sarcasm, "Except about aliens... You know more about those." Which was very intriguing to him.
"Of course I do, I work with aliens. I know them so well but it's a big, big secret." And all bullshit but whatever made this kid happy and receptive counted.
got the flu and he was living in a warehouse with five other young boys - oldest is maybe 12-13?? the state of that place... babe, it's bad we're bringing in the others.
"What's his name? Does he have a full one? I know Suga knows 'everything' but I need to know some things to. Like Jimin, your sick friend, we need to know his full name. We need to make sure we can help him but we might not be able to without a full name." A little white lie but he needed proper names.
Not just adorable kid nicknames. Jungkook gently snuggled against Hobi, clearly not in the sharing mood, content to try and get in some of the sleep he was missing instead.
"Why do you need a full name to give Jimin medicine?" Hobi was asking with a frown, not that naive. And very happy to have covered Tae's mouth just in time. Tae was still young and got attached way too easily, he'd probably happily blab out all their secrets. Hobi wasn't going to do that, especially not without Yoongi there.
"What's you name?" Tae was curious, now that his mouth was free, looking at Namjoon, who seemed pretty awesome. He knew he couldn't talk about Yoongi, he wasn't an idiot!
"I'm Kim Namjoon and I'm a police officer. Wanna see my badge? Here, you can play with it but don't lose it. If you lose it, I'll get yelled at. Won't I, Jackson?" Well, his partner knew how often he lost things and got yelled at, he could back him up. He took the badge off and held it out for Tae, letting him to take the shiny thing. He looked past the boy to Hobi, frowning a little.
"We need him to properly submit him to the hospital. And to ensure he gets the right prescription." God, these kids were hard work. "They'll get his name by the end of the day, you know? We have our ways. I'd rather just know now. I like having a name to put with a face."
"His name is Jiminie and his face is really cute." So there, that was relevant. "But I'm sure you'll get his name! Fighting, hyung! I believe in you!" Hobi gave him the thumbs up and, looking up from the badge, Tae copied the gesture, smiling just as happily as Hobi.
"You'll do it!" There, he could be encouraging, just like J-Hope.
Jackson laughed. Well, these kids were ridiculous, he couldn't help it.
"You're an odd boy, Hobi... I like it." Namjoon laughed, grinning at them and letting Tae take care of his stuff as he sat back and watched Jackson fly through the red lights, glad there was little to no traffic about tonight. "This is my partner, he's Jackson Wang. He's also odd. He's from China."
A lot of people found that exciting, especially tiny kids. Of course, most kids weren't distressed orphans... though mostly, the older two seemed okay. Jungkook was hard to read. And currently nodding off on Hobi.
"He just got a boyfriend, we're all very proud of him."
"Hobi-hyung has a boyfriend too!" Tae felt that was exciting news to share and Hobi let him. "Is your boyfriend pretty? Hobi-hyung's boyfriend is so pretty. And he knows how to get shiny things, he told me he'd teach me when I'm older."
Well, that sounded nice and reassuring. Jackson glanced into the rear-view mirror for a moment. "...how old is your boyfriend, Hobi?" He just hoped there wasn't some old perv taking advantage.
"He's a bit younger than me." Hobi smiled happily. "He's the best! He dances well."
"My boyfriend's pretty good too," Jackson felt the need to say, with a laugh.
"You're like ten years old, how do you have a boyfriend?" This was so weird. How was this kid capable of having more game than him. Jungkook blinked a few times, pulled his thumb from his mouth and held up his hands to Tae, spreading his fingers. Ten! He knew Ten. He could count to ten already.
He wanted Tae to acknowledge his intelligence, he was such a good boy. So smart and so big.
"You don't need shiny things, Tae. It's okay. You have my badge, it's the shiniest. Nothing shinier."
"Because I'm sexy," Hobi,'like ten years old', told Namjoon seriously. Then he noticed Jungkook moving and he watched, clapping when he saw what he was doing. "Ohhh, Kookie, you're so smart!"
"Yes! Ten! You know things, like Suga-hyung!" Clearly the measure of intelligence and knowledge. Tae petted Jungkook's hair to award him for how smart he was, then he turned his head and looked at Namjoon, all big eyes, holding the badge against his chest. "Can I keep it?"
"You brought that on yourself," Jackson felt the need to point out as he parked the car. "Here we go. Let's get you kids looked at."
"You can keep it safe for me but I need it back. We can shake it, yeah? Tonight, hold it and tomorrow, give it back." Namjoon smiled at him encouragingly before realising he had an issue of maybe never getting his badge back. Well. It was kind of worth it. The kid was fucking adorable.
"I think it's worth being yelled at. Look at his smile." Namjoon laughed and held his hand up for Tae to high five. "You're a cute kid, TaeTae."
