"I think he's too busy. Besides, he likes me in text. He'd probably think I was a giant loser in person, yeah?" Well, he knew what most people thought of him. He thought it himself. He pulled Tae into his lap and sat up properly, holding the phone in front of him. "He says the video gets way better if we watch it tomorrow. Watching it tonight is for losers. He understands how serious a pinkie swear is."
he asks if you want to come over and watch the video he will make sandwiches. he also wants more pictures
Lack of confidence clearly wasn't the issue here. "And you're not THAT bad. I bet he'll start liking you. Like Hobi-hyung and Jin-hyung like you!" So that was more of the adults he knew better, seemed like a good standard. "And my teacher said you are handsome once."
So, well, score. "I'll watch the video seven million billion times tomorrow!"
pretty busy got a tour coming up, always stressful wait, tour is secret still, so hush
id love to come over tho
more pictures i can do you want more too or just him?
"She did? Woah. I thought she thought I was a total idiot. You never tell me the good things. I just know she finds us annoying." Especially since there was always some family disaster disturbing Tae's attendance and never normal things. Last week they were an hour later because Tae was convinced he saw a panda and it took forever to get him back on the bus. Honestly, she gave him the oddest look when he explained. "Agust D said I'm handsome... sounds fake but hey, it's nice to hear."
Especially since he was less sure. "I guess I got my looks from my mom, huh?" Whoever that was. Neither of them looked like their dad - or so Namjoon stubbornly claimed.
I'll keep it a secret. we'll be busy too. apparently we're gonna watch your video seven billion times so
you should, it's great. we have an awesome video of a wall for another apartment and no natural light :D oh and the fridge leaks.
"Ohhh, you should make him your bae! Give him shiny things, that's how it works." Honestly, his frame of reference was not the best, given it was mostly Hobi and Ten, but still. Handsome seemed like a good first step. "I think she thinks you are a handsome idiot." That was pretty good. "I'm a pretty idiot."
Tae smiled proudly and nodded after inspecting Namjoon. "You look just like her. Sweet. And gives good hugs."
His requirements for a good mom.
thats gonna keep you busy ill invite you to the award show that ill win thanks to your 7 billion views
can't 100% confirm the cute, lemme consult with my brother first and get back to you.
"I give good hugs? Really?" He set the phone aside for a few, just so he could give Tae some hugs, his brother always came before anything. Happily. He eyed up the clock and shook his head, knowing bedtime was approaching. Standing up with Tae in his arms, he bounced him up and down a little. "Someone needs to take a bath. If you promise not to protest taking a bath, I'll keep texting Agust D and telling you what he says."
Maybe he could finally use him for blackmail. He headed into the bathroom and ran the hot water, still holding Tae. "You gonna sleep in your own bed tonight?"
"You give the best hugs!" Tae considered this as he made a ranking, while giggling as Namjoon bounced him. "You are first, then is Jimin or he'll cry... And then Hobi-hyung. And Jungkookie! And Jin. But if Agust D hugs me, he's first." Well, that only seemed fair. "You can tell him. And I'll bathe!"
Fair trade. "I can sleep in the bed if you make Jiminie and Kookie come really, really, REALLY early so we can watch the video."
"I think Jin would murder me if I called him this early to ask Jimin to come over and play first thing." Especially since he just got off a twelve hour shift. "I'll try." There, that was enough. He helped his brother get undressed, put some fun colours in his bath and cooled it down a little. "So I get outranked by Agust D every time? Harsh."
With a smile, he got up and hurried out to snag him phone, returning in time to test the water and get Tae into the bath. "Now, you wash everywhere. Remember? Even behind your ears. Or you'll be the smelly kid in your class and no one wants to be the smelly kid."
we agree, very cute. 10/10 it's bath time so I'm slow, sorry about that.
he said if you ever hug him, you'll be the best hug. Better than me >:
"Jiminie is always up early." So, really, where was the problem? "We can just pick him up." Seemed sensible. Smiling happily, Tae slid into the bath and considered Namjoon's words. "What if I wanna be the smelly kid?" Honestly, sounded like fun. But he actually always enjoyed bathing once he was in, just getting him to remember that could be a chore at times.
harsh
also probably wrong, i dont get a lot of hugs last hug i got was some weirdo at the airport who wouldnt let go
"Cause no one likes a smelly kid, it's not fun. Bet Agust D wouldn't like you if you were smelly. We can ask him." Oh man, maybe he had the perfect tool to make Tae behave. This could be the best thing of his life, as long as he didn't think it was anything real. He reached over and grabbed the rubber duck, floating it over to Tae and booping his nose with the beak.
It's the kids. I don't get bath time. I get quick shower time. We only have so much hot water, I save it for Tae to have his baths. Otherwise he won't wash.
I think a hug from you would change his life.
We've been listening to you since he was tiny, I used to call you uncle Suga. Back when you used that name more. I was a tired student, music helped.
"Min Yoongi said smelly kids aren't fun." Namjoon lied as he leaned against the bath and picked up the sponge, rubbing Tae's cheek with it.
"I'm not smelly then!" Tae took what Agust D said very seriously, even if he had no way of knowing he had actually said it. He laughed at the duck and grabbed it, then turned his face to Namjoon could rub the sponge on the other side too. He would get clean, for Namjoon and for Agust D.
gotcha
kids baths are fun though
that's adorable, he's a cute kid you are in seoul, right? the app says
Hell no, I'm broke. Like for real broke, not just whiny 'I don't have enough for starbucks' broke. I could never afford entry.
We sometimes go and look at where the fanmeet is but last time, Kookie started to cry so I haven't done it since.
Kookie is your littlest and biggest fan. I have a video of him rapping to your song. He wants to meet you so much, he sometimes talks to my poster. He's three so he doesn't get that isn't the same.
"Scrub, scrub, scrub." Namjoon set his phone aside so he could properly wash Tae, helping to do his back, his chest and neck. "Hey, you're already smelling great. Now we just gotta do your hair, the scary bit. Remember, you cover your eyes." At least he didn't cry every time he washed his hair, he was so glad he grew out of that.
they are gonna do a lottery, but i asked a very nice noona if i could have first pick and apparently she likes me enough to let me know
how many do you need? those kids all sound adorable
Tae nodded and covered his eyes, holding his breath as well, to be extra safe. Once the scary bit was over, he grinned up at Namjoon. "I'm all big now. Hyung, when I'm big, I can do it by myself, but you still have to be here. Or it's scary."
uh, maybe five? I wanna bring all the kids but that means I'll need Hobi. I would bring Jin but he is so busy, I doubt he'd have time.
if you are an impostor and you're dicking with me, I have tiny kids here and if you let them down, I'll track your ip and beat the shit outta you. Got it?
"Oh, such a brave boy. You're so good at it!" Namjoon praised as he got jug of water and gently poured it on his head, just getting rid of the extra suds still left behind. "Okay, now you gotta scrub your feet and your toes! You can do it, I believe in you." He held out the sponge and grinned. "Fighting!"
He didn't want to tell Tae yet, getting his hopes up for a potential lie seemed cruel.
you got an email address? theyre electronic tickets those are fast lane, i figure with the kids standing around is no fun
please dont try and kick my ass, i got security
"It tickles!" Tae forced his way through anyway, giggling as he got the sponge between the toes. Finally he felt clean enough and looked up at Namjoon. "Am I ready?!" He felt ready enough. "If I sleep sooner, we can watch the video sooner." Made sense to him.
Holy crap, this didn't seem possible. He looked down at Tae, damp and ready to get out, having to tear himself from the phone to get his brother. "Oh, TaeTae, do you wanna go on an adventure on Friday?" He got Tae's tiger towel and helped him out of the tub, drying him off as he spoke. "Me, you, Jiminie, Kookie and Hobi could go into town. Maybe we can look at the fanmeet place where Agust D is?"
yeah its not gonna be that long, fanmeet stuff, but the kids are cute so people are probably gonna be fine if i take a few mins
...your email address is cool. i sent them
just have them on your phone, they scan the qr codes
"YES!" Tae was already bouncing, although he did remember when Kookie had cried and that worried him a little. "We will have to buy ice cream so Kookie will be happy." There, perfect. Very necessary ice cream. "Can I dress in my costume?!"
This is gonna mean the world to them all, you know? Tae is going to dress up as you and maybe Kookie won't think life is one crushing disappointment. Always a nice thing to teach a three year old.
thank you so much.
"I don't know if we can get in or not but maybe we'll get lucky this time. Just don't tell Kookie cause he gets upset." He didn't understand why he couldn't meet his hero and it always just ended in tears, sadness and drool all down his shirt. "You can dress up and we'll take Hobi hyung so I can control you brats, yeah?"
thank you for being fans, id be nothing without you <3 also, make sure you dress cute :P
"Yes! Then we can see Agust D! He's your friend!" This was all amazing and Tae wanted to tell everyone. He bounced and forgot that he still had to put on pyjamas, instead running off nakedly.
I'll let Tae dress me. That's always a rollercoaster.
This is surreal, I am so confused. You're seriously him???
"Woah, pants!" Hurrying after Tae, he lifted his naked brother up and carried him into the bedroom, playfully dropping him onto the bed and tickling him. "You gotta wear pants, mister. Bet Agust D always wears pants." Heh. Probably not. He hurried out and got out his pyjamas, coming back over. "Can you dress yourself or do you want help?"
Tae could do it pretty well by now but sometimes he just liked his big brother helping.
what do i gotta do to convince you? ill wear something at the fanmeet, thats what they do on blind dates, right? whatcha want?
"I can do it by myself!" Tae did want the help, but he also doubted that Agust D got his big brother dressing him and so he wanted to do it properly. He pulled the pants up and then tried to figure out which side of the shirt went in front, considering it carefully.
Wear that really cool top you wore that once. lemme show.
that my friend hobi and i replicated the shirt for tae with glitter pens and bad art skills so you should clearly match your biggest fan.
"This way. Here's a trick, the tag always goes back." He should Tae the label on the back and then the pattern on the front. "Tag back, pattern front." Taehyung was an odd boy, he always thought more than did. Hence why it took so long.
mastermind love that brand ill do that for little tae
its limited edition, but not as limited as the one you made
"I know!" He hadn't remembered, but still. Tae pouted a little, but he put the shirt on right and was back to smiling proudly, crawling under the covers. He looked at Namjoon and smiled. "Tell Agust D that you'll make him your bae. That's what Hobi-hyung says he did with Ten-hyung!"
The one I have is kinda ... it's not great but he wanted that exact shirt so we made it. Me and Hobi are great at pulling shit together.
That's been our life since middle school.
"I don't think Hobi made Ten his bae, I'm pretty sure they're just -- in a confusing mess I don't understand." He really did not. He wasn't sure he wanted to. Gently tucking Tae in, he smoothed down the covers and leaned forward, nuzzling against his forehead. "You wanna say good night to Min Yoongi hyung?"
gotta make you my bae apparently. tae wants to say night
"GOOD NIGHT, MIN YOONGI-HYUNG!" Tae had decided that yelling was the way to make himself be heard in this case and so he yelled happily, before curling up and smiling. This was so cool. "You are a cool brother, hyung."
