BTS raced into the building, for once forgoing formalities as they paced to the elevator, tapping their feet impatiently as they waited for it to arrive. Even Yoongi walked quicker than usual, he wasn't very open to expressing his concern but since he'd started afresh with (Y/N) he had developed a soft spot, a protective streak. He'd never admit it though. Not to anyone.
As they raced to her office, they skidded to a stop suddenly. They knew they were allowed in at any time, but something was holding them back. Hesitance. At what they'd find. Jungkook timidly knocked on the door before peeping his head around the slight gap he'd made when he opened it. He let out a sigh of release. He opened the door more enthusiastically and bounced in.
"(Y/N)! There you are! You didn't stay to see us perform" he pouted at her, after his shyness had worn off, he became quickly close to her learning there wasn't much of a gap between them and for once he was the older one.
The rest of the group were somewhat surprised at the easiness he now displayed around her but they too chuckled at the aegyo and walked in, Yoongi closing the door behind him with a click.
The rest of them bounded towards her eagerly, Hobi pulling her out of her chair and into a hug as soon as he got close, the rest of the maknae line eagerly joining in at the impromptu cuddling. The rest of them made their way towards the sofas noticing that the area that had been designed for them to nap in had been sectioned off for once. Huh...odd but decided not to question it. The maknaes and resident-sunshine drew (Y/N) close to the sofas, tugging her down between them not yet wanting to part from her. She rolled her eyes at their behaviour but let it happen.
The boys started to argue childishly, their bickering rising in volume and the hyung line laughing and teasing the youngers for their behaviour. Their laughter also joined the mix and at this point (Y/N) was trying to shush them but with no success, she remained painfully aware of the fact that just behind the flimsy sectioned off area lay her sleeping nephew, who had just fallen asleep after tiring himself out. Her heart started, when she started to hear small whimpers coming from behind the screen and before she could jump to her feet, the boys quietened down also having heard the small sounds of distress. They shook their heads around to locate the source staring at each other too with mistrust, and if it had been any other situation (Y/N) would've laughed but now... she just wanted to cry. It had taken ages to settle him down. Ages.
(Y/N) POV:
I silently and gently retracted the arms that were still clutching at me and rose to my feet, quickly making my way to behind the screen ignoring the words of confusion now focused on just getting to Adam.
He was sitting up looking confused, his black hair sticking up at odd angles as his small fists rubbed tiredly at his eyes. They were tearing up and I rushed to him. I quickly scooped him into my arms, and he clutched onto me like a koala wrapping his small legs around my midriff as he nestled his face into my neck. I could feel my neck getting wet, but I just rubbed at his back, whispering soothing words to him in French.
Looks like there was no delaying it, the boys would be meeting him now. As I stepped out from behind the screen, I was walking carefully to avoid tripping when I heard loud gasps. The boys shot to their feet at the sight of me carrying a child. I just shook my head and made my way to the sofa again, silently dropping down in between Hobi and Jimin again.
Just then Adam cried out "Mama" into my neck and I felt seven stares piercing at me.
Even though they didn't speak French, the word was easy to grasp onto and all of a sudden I was bombarded with voices again.
"Now listen here young lady...I get that you act mature for your age, but you can't be having a kid already Who was it, the man who tainted my baby?!"
"MAMA?!"
"Why did you never tell us you already had a kid?!"
The voices overlapped each other, Kookie well and truly being JUNGSHOOK just sat there with his mouth dropped open.
At the sound of unknown voices, Adam's grip tightened on my neck and the tears began falling faster.
"Oh baby... don't cry, these boys didn't mean to scare you. They're really loud huh...No no baby, its not like it was with mama, the voices aren't like that time. They're just like you, but bigger babies." I soothed the crying baby on my lap, glaring at the group of men now. They withered silently under my glare but Jin blew in and I knew he was going to explode but I just silently begged with my eyes for him to quieten down for now. He grunted and sunk back down.
I gently played with the hair on the back of Adam's neck, having long since learnt it soothed him. When at last I felt him drop off to sleep, his body still curled around mine, I just hugged him towards me and quietly spoke.
"Before you all blow up again, I'm not his mama, but yes he is my baby- I'm his aunt and he'll be with me for some time. No Tae you can't play with him now, no Jinnie oppa did I have a kid early on in life and could all of you lose the glares....Kookie, Kookie snap out of it."
Just like that tension bled from their postures, but I felt a piercing stare, I turned to see Yoongi's eyes still fixed on me in a silent scrutiny. I tensed under the silent inspection but turned my focus back to the whispering around me.
"Let's head on home now, I'll call Seijin-oppa to drop us off..."
"No need, I can drive (Y/N). You forget I'm AMA-JIN!" and off he went his windshield wiper laugh as he ushered us all out.
The drive back to the apartments was silent. But the atmosphere was anything but relaxed. I could see the boys nudging each other, and more than once I stopped Tae's hands from reaching over to grab at Adam. He pouted every time but I wasn't going to wake him up now. My neck prickled from the feeling of being watched again. Yoongi. But all in all we managed to get back to their dorm without any mishaps.
Just as the boys were entering their apartment, I quickly ducked in too much to their surprise and made my way to the kitchen. After setting down Adam with Jinnie oppa looking over him, I quickly unpacked boxes of food I had already prepared earlier for their dinner and began reheating it. I set up dinner on their table and called out for the boys who ambled in more quickly at the smell of food. I made sure everyone's plates were full before opening up the container with Adam's food- he tended to be a bit fussy and liked animal shaped nuggets. As I walked closer to the sofa, I gently woke him up and again he lifted his arms up to be held. I cooed at him and lifted him up into my arms, making my way to the kitchen, slipping into the seat between Jinnie oppa and Tae.
Tae grinned at Adam, but he just ducked his head into my chest shying away from him. I cooed at him and lifted him to sit securely on my lap before grabbing a pair of chopsticks and began feeding him the nuggets and small animal-shaped vegetables. As I was feeding him Adam insisted on feeding me and I ended up with crumbs on my face. Two sticky small hands reached up to grab my cheeks and Adam placed an innocent peck on my lips before snuggling back into me. I heard someone choke so I looked up in alarm to see seven blushing faces, Joonie being the one who had choked. I wiped my face and stood with a pile of plates balancing in one hand and a clingy koala in the other.
I made my way to the living room where the boys eagerly followed me, wanting to now meet the boy who had taken up my day.
BTS POV:
We all pushed and shoved each other to get to the best seats wanting to be the one to sit next to (Y/N). They had all felt neglected and were now desperate for her attention. They all knew that they had grown attached to this young woman, all feeling needs to protect her but also spend their time with her. She intrigued them... they didn't know everything about her but the more they learnt the more they grew fonder of her.
As they all bickered and took their seats, what they didn't notice was rather than whining as usual if they hadn't gotten a seat, Tae and Kookie had happily sat down on the plush carpet now bringing to attention that (Y/N) had also seated herself on the floor with Adam. It was Adam who took the best seat though, seated comfortably in (Y/N)'s lap, wiggling to make himself comfortable as (Y/N) just petted his hair and cooed soft phrases to him. They all wanted that attention and were jealous that it was a toddler who had taken it away from them. Tae had pulled Kookie into a cuddle-pile and they rested comfortably on each other as they giggled and occasionally mock-wrestled each other.
Adam looked up curiously, wanting to play but not fully comfortable around them. Just then (Y/N) bent her head towards him, her (H/L) (H/C) wavy hair falling to cover her face as she whispered in his hair. The boys didn't know why they felt so jealous, he was only a toddler...but they wanted their manager to whisper to them too, to laugh and coddle them too. She already did but now her attention was divided.
Yoongi half-heartedly glared at Adam, no true heat behind the stare. He was feeling a bit jealous, he wanted his hair petted too. It was soothing.
Adam shyly got up from her lap and made his way to Jin and he tugged on his trousers gently. Jin looked down and cooed at the boy, holding his arms out for Adam to step into and lifted him up.
"What is it baby?" mothering over Adam like he longed to do all day, fussing over his clothes and gently talking to him.
"Can I play with them please ahjussi?" he suddenly spoke fluent Korean startling the other boys even bringing the mock-wrestling to a halt as they gaped at him.
"Of course, you can kid. Tae looks like you get your chance" Yoongi gruffly spoke as he got up and made his way to lift Adam out of Jin's lap who pouted at the loss of babying the actual baby.
Tae eagerly reached out for Adam and he and Kookie gently started playing with him, tickling him their own giggles erupting at the cute sight before them. No-one had realised Yoongi's motive because as he had gotten up to take Adam to the boys, he just dropped onto the ground and suddenly placed his head on (Y/N)'s now vacant lap. He lay content on her lap ignoring the loud protests from the maknaes and Hobi before Jimin suddenly made a dash for her other leg and now (Y/N) sat there with a lapful of boys.
-----
Now (Y/N) felt content for now, as the boys dropped off to sleep around her on the blanket fort they'd made for Adam, she wrapped her arms protectively around Adam in a loose embrace and drifted off to sleep. Happy and content. For now.
-----
When she awoke it was to the sound of hushed whispers and the feeling of sunlight trickling through the blinds. For once she had slept through the night and not awoken before the crack of dawn. She hadn't felt so rested since she had arrived. She tried to move but found she couldn't. There was something pinning her down. She cracked her eyes open to see an arm and leg slung over her pinning her down. She twisted her head quickly to see Tae having latched onto her in his sleep.
The other members had woken and anxiously gathered around them trying to figure out how to separate the clinging grown baby from their manager. They had just realised she'd awoken, and her panicking eyes and reddening cheeks made the members more frantic to pry Tae off her.
(Y/N) twisted trying to escape his tight grip but her movement just made him tighten his grip. As she was moving, Adam had woken up from the movements and rose up seeing his lovely aunt trapped by a man. He may have been fun to play with but only he was allowed to hug his auntie like that. (Y/N)'s eyes widened, knowing a tantrum could very well burst, Adam was a very possessive toddler over his aunt. The small boy got to his feet and gasped when Tae suddenly lifted his aunt and placed her on him, hugging her like he would a pillow or one of his members.
HOBI POV:
I had awoken to a kick the leg by Joon and turned to glare at him but met the sight of five panicked members, I quickly sat up and felt my mouth drop at the sight. Tae was cuddling (Y/N) but was latched onto her and refused to let up. He was asleep but (Y/N) quickly awoke and struggled against his tight grip, it wasn't long before Adam awoke too and glared at Tae's sleeping form. Just as Jin hyung was going to move forward and save (Y/N) Tae suddenly moved bringing (Y/N) onto his chest instead as he continued to cuddle her in his sleep.
Poor (Y/N)... I could see her cheeks redden and her eyes widen in panic, she struggled against his grip when suddenly Tae's head dropped into the crook of her neck.
I saw Jin hyung's eyes widen in fury, he had taken (Y/N) to be the new baby of the Bangtan family and now saw her being practically molested by a sleeping dongsaeng. He reached forward to pry Tae away when suddenly Yoongi hyung leaned over and viciously pinched Tae. I winced. I had been on the receiving end of those pinches before, they hurt like HELL.
Tae let out an ow before muttering "stop it hyungs, you're just meanies" and snuggled in closer to the source of warmth. But the problem was, the source of warmth was (Y/N)'s neck and it was onto her neck that Tae was muttering...he saw Jin hyung's eyes flare up in anger again.
(Y/N) POV:
I froze as I felt Tae's warm breath hit my neck and then she snuggled into my neck even further. I wasn't used to it. Yes, with nephews and nieces, even friends I'd lived with for years... but a man?! My breath quickened in panic and I struggled even more but it was the sudden foot that appeared and kicked Tae's face that shocked me and finally jolted him awake.
He suddenly noticed the position he was in but it took him a few moments to realise it wasn't Jimin but rather me he was holding onto.
He became hyperconscious that she was a woman and that he had pressed them so closely together. He also felt a throbbing on his cheek. All of a sudden, he flung me away from him- with a stronger force than I expected, and I was jolted back into the hard corner of the sofa. Pain blossomed along my back; I knew that'd bruise, horribly.
It was Adam's foot that had kicked out and it was him who led the stampede of feet towards me as they gathered around me anxiously. It was Jinnie oppa who stepped forward and kneeled down, cupping my cheek with his hand.
"Are you okay (Y/N)-ah... not just now but with what just happened? I'm so sorry, I should've stopped it somehow..." he rambled on worriedly.
I placed a hand on top of the one cupping my cheek and squeezed it gently.
"It's okay Jinnie oppa, you couldn't have stopped it. Tae didn't mean either of these things to happen. Don't go hard on him... at all. Please..." I softly said but I knew they were all listening.
I rose to my feet, my back twinging painfully. I masked my wince with a small smile and thought I had gotten away with it. As I picked up Adam my back protested loudly, and I blinked away the tears pricking the corner of my eyes.
"I'll be back in thirty-minutes guys, no... don't worry. I do just live next door." And with that sped out of the dorm as quickly as I could, biting my lip to stop the whimper as Adam's feet contacted my back.
The moment the door behind my own apartment closed, I slumped for a second and gasped not knowing that a wall away seven boys had worriedly gathered in the living room. Recollecting the moment my back had contacted the sofa's edge, the look of pain repeating itself in their minds.
(A/N: NOW TAE IS SOOO SORRY BUT HE FLUNG YOU AWAY TO STOP YOU FROM BEING PRESSED AGAINST HIM KNOWING YOU WERE PROBABLY WAAY MORE UNCOMFORTABLE. THE STRENGTH AND FORCE WAS UNEXPECTED TO HIM TOO THOUGH, AWW... GUILTY TAE NEXT AND A WORRIED BAND! DON'T WORRY... LOADS OF TLC AND CUDDLES COMING UP! ALSO... MAY SEEM LIKE A MINOR THING, BUT FORCE AND SHARP EDGES= PAIN ☹)
