"I swear Taehyung." Misun mumbled, holding her hand out for the bat. "Hand it over." Taehyung shook his head and stepped away, Misun putting her hands on her hips.
"See the mullet?" He pointed the bat at Hongjoong. "His head is the perfect size for me to hit a touchdown and score three points." Misun blinked a few times, Taehyung tossing the bat and catching it with determination.
"First of all, you just used three different sports terminology. Second," Misun grabbed the other end of the baseball bat just as Taehyung tried to walk away. "It's time for lunch." Taehyung dropped the bat and ran inside, the house empty.
"How did he not see us?" Jin shoved a handful of chips into his mouth, him and the rest of his brothers sat at the picnic table next to the door leading inside. "What a dumba-" A glare from Misun stopped him in his tracks. "Dummy. What a dummy." Jin smiled nervously, reading his chips for an apple slice so Misun won't get mad.
"I have sandwiches!" Misun called out to the teenage boys, then stopping almost instantly. "And chips, and I think there's still some cookies and-Jungkook!" Misun ran around the table, sticking her fingers in Jungkook's mouth. "Spit it out." She commanded sternly, Jungkook not opening up his mouth for her fingers. Jungkook narrowed his eyes and slowly opened his mouth, giving Misun enough time to pull out the spider he had shoved in his mouth. "You do not eat bugs." She tossed the spider into the grass, grabbing a napkin to wipe the drool from his face first, then her fingers. "Don't do that again." Jungkook was not happy his new snack was snatched away from him, so like any sensible toddler, he picked up his sippy cup and threw it into the yard.
"Hahaha!" Jimin laughed, loving his brother's antics. "Jungkookie threw his cuppy!" Misun sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose, her other hand resting on her hip. Yunho bent down and picked up the sippy cup while the rest of the boys continued walking to the table.
"Here you go Misun." He handed it's back to Misun, the rest of the workers digging in.
First name basis, huh? Yoongi formed a fist, the poor chip inside his hand reduced to crumbs. His eyes flashed to San who was sitting down next to his twin, Hoseok.
"You can't sit there!" Yoongi snapped, throwing his fork at San who quickly sat back up. Misun watched as Yoongi pulled Hoseok into his arms, hugging him tightly. "My Hoseokie and you can't be near him."
As much as she loved the affection Yoongi presented, his tone and words weren't the nicest towards San.
"Ah I'm sorry Buddy." San smiled nervously, slightly scared of this five year old. "I'll sit over-"
"San it's okay." Misun reassured, stepping closer to the table, Yunho grabbing a plate. She rested her hand on Namjoon's shoulder, Namjoon looking up at her with a wide smile. Misun's heart melted and ruffled his hair as Namjoon pushed his glasses up his nose.
Taehyung ran outside screaming a war cry he once heard in a movie, pulling Jimin on top of the table with him. "MISUNNNNNNN!!" Jimin stumbled and fell into the chip bowl.
"Taehyung!" Misun tried to grab Taehyung, but that boy was fast. Before you could blink, all seven kids were tackling Misun, succeeding and then laying on top of one another. "Boys!" The workers were laughing their asses off, watching Yoongi and Jin start to wrestle, Jungkook jumping on Misun's butt.
"EAT THE GREENS!" Taehyung roared, his voice squeaking as he ripped grass from the ground, shoving it into his mouth, Misun yelping.
"Kim Taehyung you spit that out right now!" Misun picked Jimin off of her, Jin and Yoongi wrestling not of her concern at the moment.
"Ooo I want grass!" Jimin too picked up some grass, but Namjoon was there to stop him.
"Do that and you'll turn green." Namjoon warned, making sure his lie would scare Jimin from ever thinking about eating grass again.
"Taehyung don't eat it!" Jimin wailed, tears streaming down his face. "You're gonna turn green!!"
"Jiminie don't cry-" Namjoon hugged his brother, but Taehyung screamed through Misun's fingers.
"I'M GOING TO BE MIKE WAZOWSKI!!!"
Splash!
"Jin! Yoongi!"
Splash!
"Do we get paid for this?" Jongho asked through the chips in his mouth, watching Misun pull Yoongi and Jin above water and out of the pool.
"Yep."
"Why did you jump into the pool?!" Misun shouts, out of breath from pullin the two eldest out of the water.
Jin immediately points to Yoongi, "He started it!"
"NO I DIDN'T!" Yoongi yells back, eyes wide as he turns to Jin and tackles him to the ground. Misun huffs and drags Yoongi off Jin, separating them both with her in between.
"You two need to stop! I already have to deal with your brothers, you should be helping, not creating more of a hassle!" She scolds, looking both of them in the eyes with a warning look.
The two boys bow their heads in shame, "Sorry Misun," they mutter under their breaths.
"What was that?" Misun asks, eyebrows raised and a teasing smirk on her face.
"Sorry Misun," they say a little louder, both looking up to Misun through their wet lashes.
Misun ruffles their hair in response, "Alright, now dry off. You two are soaking from being in the pool." After saying that, the young boys scurry off into the house for a change of clothes.
It's then that Misun looks around the garden, wondering where the other boys are as they are being unusually quiet. A smile tugs at her lips when she sees the children playing and laughing with the workers.
At least some of them like them. Misun thinks, her mind wandering back to how rude Yoongi was towards San earlier.
"Mimi! Come play with us!" Namjoon shouts in between fits of laughter as a result of being tickled by Jongho.
"Mimi! Save me!" Jimin squeals, attempting to run away from Yeosang, a huge smile on his face.
She jogs over to them all, picking up Jimin and running away from Yeosang as they all laugh hysterically.
A playful smile spreads across Jimin's face as he shouts "Tickle fight!" Before tackling Misun and attacking her with tickles, the others soon join in.
Tears of joy spring to Misun's eyes as she attempts to escape the boys.
"What're you looking at?" Jin asks as he exits the bathroom and enters their shared room to see Yoongi sitting on the window ledge, looking down at the happy scene, a sad smile on his face.
"Misun," Yoongi starts, not taking his eyes off the window. "She looks so happy."
"Yeah, I know, I'm glad they make her happy." Jin responds, walking to the window and taking a seat next to his brother.
Yoongi's smile is replaced with a guilty look. "I kinda feel bad for trying to get them to leave. I want her to be happy, I just don't want them here." He says, his gaze falling to his lap, as tears line his eyes, threatening to fall.
"They're really not that bad you know," Jin says, he lifts Yoongi's head up and their eyes meet. "She deserves to be happy, for all she has done for us. She literally raised us, then took us in after mom and dad didn't want us."
Yoongi and Jin are the only ones who really remember their biological parents, although they weren't ever really home, they remember the abuse they had gotten when they were. The others were either too young to really remember, or Jin and Yoongi protected them from the harsh comments which were continuously thrown their way.
"I know, Jin. I know."
"Lighten up, let's go down there and enjoy this beautiful day," Jin smiles, standing up and taking Yoongi's hand.
Yoongi quickly wiped his tears away and accepted his brother's hand, being led downstairs and outside.
"Yoongi hyung, Jin hyung! Come help us tickle Mimi!" Taehyung shouts, giggling.
Misun's eyes light up when she sees Yoongi join in, even laughing with San. She is proud of him for dropping the rude attitude he had earlier and opening up a bit more.
And she knew in that moment, surrounded by her friends and family, she was happy.
