"I think so! I belong to you two, cause you are my appas." Sometimes he did say appa instead of hyung, but it was mostly mood-related. He was never sure which he liked better. "Oh, but don't tell Jiminie. He says I'm his baby." Tae shrugged his shoulders. Jimin could be stubborn, so sometimes it was easiest to just go with it. And let him pet his hair and fuss over him.
"Yoongi-hyung said that you'll arrest Cheon. Cheon is mean. Like a monster." Tae really, really didn't like him. "I never wanna sit on his lap, so I kicked him when he made me." Like a hero.
"Smart boy. Don't ever go near him, I'll get him. I'll put him away forever and ever. Appa is gonna take good care of you." God damn, that sick pervert. He touched Tae? He protectively wrapped his other arm around Tae, feeling his heart seize a little. His boys had been so close to this creep, how could this happen? They didn't deserve to be in this mess, they were good boys.
"If you ever see Cheon again, you have to scream really, really loud! So everyone can hear you, even the rabbits on the moon. And you have to run as well. Just run! Stay far away."
"Okay. I would always run and scream! I don't like him. He looks like guys my dad would be friends with." Tae was pretty quick at making up his mind about people and Cheon was someone he had rightfully judged. "Jimin liked him at first, cause he was nice and he told him how pretty he is and... Jimin always wants love." It was just so very Jimin. "Buuuut then Suga-hyung came and grabbed Jimin and he talked to him and Jimin cried and now he knows not to like Cheon. He sucks."
Fuck. He went after Jimin too. God, he was freaking out. As long as he'd never touched Kookie, he could at least sleep tonight without having a panic attack. "I'll keep you both safe, yeah? You and Jiminie, all of you. If you see a bad man and he's coming at you, just scream loud and run. Always, always." He didn't care if his kids looked weird or ran away from a perfectly normal person. He had to make sure they were safe.
"No one will get hurt. I promise. If Cheon comes near you, just come straight to appa. Yeah?"
"Yeah, okay! Suga-hyung said to do that and to kick and bite and to say that I'm sick, if I can't get away." Because, yeah, both Hobi and Yoongi had to make sure that their boys knew how to deal with potential dangers like that, they were very far from naive. Sad, but true. "But Cheon won't come here, right? And school. Cause it's nice places, I think he only goes to poor places. And we have nice things now."
So, clearly not poor. Tae smiled at Namjoon happily. "Was I smart and brave, cause I kicked Cheon right away?" Well, he liked approval.
"So smart and brave. The bravest. You know, for a boy that brave, I'll have to get you a present." He turned Tae around and stroked his hair back, looking at him with a fond smile. "It's your birthday soon, isn't it? I checked your birth date in your file. We'll have to go to the toy store and you can pick out birthday things and one extra gift, a special one, for being my smart boy. I already know what it is."
He had seen it in the store before, he was ready. "Next week, we can go. I'll show you. You just gotta keep being good for me."
"My birthday?" Oh. Tae smiled, feeling sheepish for having forgotten. He nodded, now thinking about it. Seemed right. He was sure it as right. "I get to pick out things?" Like, a lot of them? He had not expected that. Oh, he would have to sit down with Jimin and Kookie and they could talk about it and figure out what would be best for playing. This was an important decision.
"I'm always good! For you. I am only good for appa and Jin-appa, cause you are good to me." And his dad just sucked butt, like Cheon.
"Good, you keep on being good for me. Then you can pick out all your birthday stuff." Picking up Tae, he playfully lifted him up before setting him down and grinning at him. "Now come on, let's watch your movie. Stitch is wrecking stuff and I love this. Good music too. That always means a good Disney film."
Sitting back, he relaxed and let Tae settle against him, already working out what to do about Cheon.
