Baby (Jjk°Kth)

Chapter 9

It has been more than a week since Taehyung stumbled into the life of the people of Starlight pack. He was still in the process of learning even the basic stuffs but it was like he understood what is really important and needs to be done on his own. The day Jungkook had brought Taehyung in, Jimin was the one who had bathed him and dressed him. The boy hadn't thrown a fit when clothes were being put on him, but giving him a bath was like going through a havoc. Jimin still remembers every moment clearly.

"Just because I'm an Omega doesn't mean I'm weak, but I'm not even the strongest. Lifting the body weight of a  grown ass man like you is not something I can manage but you're so light that it feels like there's nothing in my arms. I'm sure Jungkook is going to get whooped once Namjoon finds out that he brought a Rogue in. But to be honest, you don't look like a threat. You look more like a refugee than a trespasser." Jimin said while Taehyung just stared up at him with curious and slightly scared eyes. This was his first time, seeing new humans.

"You're not much of a talker are you?" Jimin, sheepishly asked.

"Seeing your condition, you must be in a shock. What if you're suffering from PTD? Ah that won't be good. Well, Jungkook asked me to tend to your wounds but I'll give you a bath first. Don't be scared okay? I won't harm you." By the time Jimin was done with his rambling he had reached the bathroom.

"Okay now stand here, while I fill the tub." Jimin said as he balanced Taehyung on his feet. As soon as he walked ahead he heard a loud thud behind him. Turning back he found Taehyung on the floor who had fell head first. The poor boy started wiggling around in order to get up, since his body was wrapped in a blanket.

"Oh my!" Jimin shrieked out as he rushed to help Taehyung up in a sitting position.

"So stupid of me. You are literally just skin and bones. How can I expect you to stand." Jimin said shaking his head as he proceeded to prepare the bath for Taehyung. He made sure the temperature was good by dipping his hand in and then went to take off the blanket that was wrapped around Taehyung.

"Oh! Oh, okay. You're stark naked." Jimin said panicking, as he immediately covered his eyes. "Why are you naked?!" Jimin shouted this time. Sighing audibly, he got up and started searching the cabinets for any unused pair of underwear. Getting his hands on one, he took it out from its package and handed it to Taehyung.

"Here, wear it." Taehyung eyed up the piece of clothing in curiosity as he tried to figure out what he was supposed to do with it.

"What are you waiting for? Wear it." Jimin said repeating himself. After a few minutes of Taehyung just staring at the underwear, Jimin grew irritated as he threw his hands up in defeat.

"Gosh! Are you an Alien or something? Did you come from some other planet where they didn't wear clothes? You're a grown up man. How do you not know how to wear clothes?" Jimin exclaimed as he snatched away the piece of clothing from his hand.

"Okay now watch and learn." Jimin said he put Taehyung's right leg into the right hole and and left leg into in the left hole. He then pulled Taehyung towards him, in a way that his body was leaned against his and then slid up the underwear until it reached his waist.

"There you go. See, that was so easy. Now next time do it on your own." Jimin instructed while Taehyung was just fondly staring at the pink undies that had covered up his dangling pee pee.

"You look quite happy to own them." Jimin said as he chuckled at the cute expression on Taehyung's face.

"Ahh we have wasted so much time. The water will get cold. Come on let's get you inside the tub." Jimin said as he lifted up Taehyung by his thighs. Just as he was about immerse Taehyung's body in the tub, he started wiggling around frantically and started shouting as best as he could.

"Hey hey! Stop wiggling, I'll drop you! You'll get hurt." Jimin shouted as he tried his best to hold Taehyung securely. The poor boy had noticed that he was about to be put into water and that made his mind go into a state of panic. All the flashbacks of several buckets of water being thrown at him, his head getting ducked in it started clouding his visions as he tried to save himself from the water he hated the most.

"Okay! Okay! I get it. I won't put you in." Jimin yelled as he put Taehyung back down.

"Damn, you're giving me a headache right now." An idea suddenly popped up in Jimin's head as he once again started searching through the cabinets and took out several stuffs. His one hand was occupied by a soapy ball and the other had his daughter's toys. Although both of those things perked up Taehyung's interest he was also a bit scared to act upon his instinct.

"Although I absolutely cherish my bath bombs, I'm going to give this sacrifice for your sake. If it wasn't for the fact that you're so wounded and dirty and cute I would have never let you use them. Well here you go. Keep your eyes on the water. See how it'll change colour and smell like heaven." Jimin explained enthusiastically as he slowly dipped the bath bomb in the water. Just like sodium metal reacts with water and starts running around with sparks emerging from it, similarly the bath bomb started twirling around in the water as it left it's trace of beautiful colours and scent. Taehyung was absolutely mesmerized by what he was witnessing and crawled towards the bath tub. With steady movements he dipped his two fingers in it and when he was sure that the water was safe he dipped his whole hand. It was his first time that his hand was dipped in such warm water. Wherever he thought of water a cold shiver would run down his spine as he would remember how cold the water used to be that was thrown at him.

"You wanna go in now? See these floating duck will bath with you too." Jimin assured him with a smile as he set the duck on the surface of the water. Taehyung said nothing in reply as he then tried to reach out the duck. But as soon as his finger would go close enought to touch it, he would cower back.

"The water will get cold. Come you need to go in." Jimin said as he once again attempted to place Taehyung in the tub. Taehyung somewhat trusted him now, as he let him put him in the water. After he was completely in, he shut his eyes tighty waiting for him to duck his face inside but that force never came. Instead he felt a hand gently rubbing his chest. Taehyung opened his eyes to see what was happening and noticed that Jimin was rubbing his body with something soft in his hand. The thing he held, had white bubbles surrounding it and it cleaned his body of every dirt. Jimin then grabbed the duck and gave it to him. Though hesitantly, Taehyung finally accepted it and carefully held it in his hand. He didn't want to hurt it by mistake. Throughout the bath Taehyung had his full concentration on the toy while Jimin carefully cleaned him. Taehyung's body was covered with wounds and he didn't want to press any of them by mistake.

"From not knowing how to wear an underwear to wearing all your clothes on your own. From holding a toy duck like it's a real pet to breaking all the toys you get your hands on, you've learned a lot. I know you don't understand me right now, but when you do, I'll tell you just how proud of you I am."
