Sunshine & Lemons • sope

4 lemons

"look jinnie! namjoonie learned to hold a bubble!" jimin splashed around the water in excitement, causing namjoon to accidentally let go of his bubble. hoseok started whining and told jimin to make more bubbles as he started splashing around too. seokjin sighed and left the room to grab a big towel and place it on the floor. when he finished cleaning he turned to the fairies who were waddling their way through the water.

"nooo namnam don—aaahhhh!" hoseok flailed around in the air as seokjin pulled him out of the water and wrapped him up in a hand towel. the other two fairies laughed as hoseok was set down to the side and dried off by seokjin.

when the blond chef was finished cleaning and changing all three fairies, he took them all to the kitchen to eat what he prepared.

despite being four to six inch tall fairies, they had the appetite of a freaking human, so seokjin had to make a lot of food whenever he took care of the fairies.

and today he made brownies.

"woah!" jimin yelled as he was set down in the kitchen counter, stumbling over hoseok who fell upon landing, and steadying himself on namjoon, only to trip on his baby blue socks and land on his face. "ow."

"careful you three."

"jiminie get off of meee!" hoseok whined, trying to get on his hands and knees. he grabbed onto namjoon's pink socks causing the fire fairy to squeal.

"wait! that's the smell joonie! the one I told you about this morning that was weird!" jimin yelled again, crawling away from hoseok so the earth fairy could stand.

namjoon made a confused expression and turned to seokjin, asking a silent question.

"i have brownies—"

hoseok gasped loudly.

jimin looked at the chef with wide eyes.

and namjoon started crying.

"did i say a bad word in fairy language?" Seokjin asked, bending over so he was at eye level with the fairies.

"y-you're repl-acing m-me?" namjoon hiccuped quietly. tears fell down his red cheeks as he made a pout, and it made seokjin feel all sorts of guilty. and very confused.

"no i'm not. why do you say that?"

"because joonie is a brownie." jimin explained with tears in his eyes. he clung tightly onto namjoon's arm as hoseok softly patted down namjoons hair soothingly.

seokjin blinked.

"namnam's job as a fairy is to help around in the kitchen, those are called brownies. brownies are usually from the earth fairies, but namjoons a fire fairy." hoseok explained.

"so you think i'm replacing you?" seokjin looked over at namjoon who nodded, still crying silently.

"well, i'm not." seokjin stood up straight and walked to the stove to come back with a tray full of brownies.

"the brownies i have are like small cakes." the chef set down the tray and watched as the fairies curiously walked over and poked at small pieces. "i won't ever replace you namjoon. even if you do sometimes make me angry for burning my breakfast."

namjoon sniffled and nodded at his human. he picked up a crumb from the tray and ate it. his yellow-orange eyes shined in delight at the pastry and he gave a sweet and wide smile at the blonde chef.

"i like it!"

"does it taste good? cuz it smelled weirder than jeonghannies plants earlier." jimin turned to his partner and took a bite out of a crumb from his hands.

"woah i want more jinnie!" hoseok yelled in excitement. "a-a-and the brown soup!"

"chocolate milk?"

"yeah that!"

"oH! can i have the pink one?!" namjoon yelled as he took another bite out of a crumb he started sharing with jimin.

"i want the creamy one!" jimin called out as he practically pounced on a brownie.

seokjin sighed and walked around the kitchen to prepare the fairies drinks. all the while he wore a smile as his three charges talk happily with each other.

"wait," seokjin set down hoseoks cup of chocolate milk on the counter when he looked at jimin who was picking brownie crumbs off of namjoon's hair. "who's jeonghannie?"

both namjoon and jimin perked up at the names and smiled adoringly at each other as jimin explained. "sunmi's twin brother! and my seungkwannies older brother! those are mine and joonies children!"

"oh." seokjin took a bite out of a brownie as he watched over the fairies, recalling all the times namjoon used to talk nonstop about his family and how much he missed them.

"um... jinnie?"

seokjin looked down to see hoseok covered in melted chocolate and crumbs. his once clean yellow shirt was now dirty and his green socks were soaked. his curly hair was tangled and holding crumbs (and where the hell did the white highlights go? were they completely covered in melted chocolate?)

"hoseok how in the world do these things happen to you?"

**minjoon makes me so soft I cri

fyi this is how fairy years work in this story

human yrs/fairy yrs
1yr/10yrs
6months/5yrs
20yrs/200yrs
35yrs/350yrs
so on and so forth. (just multiply a year by ten and you get the fairy age)

jeonghan & sunmi are like 30 in fairy yrs.
seungkwans barely like 5 in fairy yrs and like an inch tall (he's 6 months old as a human)

hope u enjoyed! <3**
