"wakey wakey!" jin shouts and it echoes throughout the house.

reluctantly , all the boys come down, very slowly.
tae being the last.
and to their dismay, he's not in little space.

"morning children. we're going shopping today!" jin squeals. "now, go take a shower and change. i'll give you half an hour."

the boys walk back up the stairs to take a shower to start the day.

half an hour later, the boys were having breakfast.

"alright, let's go!" tae shouts and giggles.

soon, they reach the mall.
the boys walk into the mall not without fans swarming them.

"annyeong everyone!" tae shouts and smiles.

the fans squeal. "annyeong oppa!"

"we really want to have some privacy shopping. we will take a few pictures and give you autographs but you have to leave us. okay?" jin asks and smiles.

"okay!"

and so for an hour, the boys were busy interacting with their fans.
laughter, smiles and happiness filled the air.

"okay ARMY! we have to go now." namjoon says and the crowd 'aw's' in a sad manner.

"we'll see you soon right?" jeongguk asks.

"ne!"

"alright! bye everyone!" yoongi says and smiles.

"bye!" ARMY screams and the boys walk away.

"i'm done." yoongi says and plops down on a bench.

"we've only been to 12 stores. we still have more!" tae shouts.

"tae, let's have lunch then we'll continue. okay?" hoseok says.

tae pouts but nods his head.

_________________

their lunch was simple sushi.
soon, they continue their shopping.

the boys were in a shop looking at clothes.
tae looked outside and saw a unicorn plushy.
his eyes gleamed with happiness and unknowingly, he walks towards the shop.

the rest of the boys did not notice the disappearance of tae and so they walk further away from tae.

after getting the unicorn plushy, tae walks out of the store only to find that his members weren't there.
he sticks his hand in his pocket to search for his phone.
but unfortunately, it wasn't there. he left it at the dorm.

tae frantically looks around for his members.
and when he couldn't find them, his eyes water and he slips into little space.
he sits on a bench and let his tears fall.
they mall is humongous.
how in the world will he ever find them?

"hey tae. should i get this?" jimin says holding up a cute shirt.

when jimin doesn't get a reply, he turns around and looks for tae.

"guys. where's tae?" jimin asks the boys.

the boys look up and around.
the look at each other and then to jimin.

"my baby. oh my." jin says as he frantically looks around.

"hyung. he's not here." namjoon says and tries to calm jin down.

"I KNOW HE'S NOT HERE." jin shouts.

the boys freeze in their places, shocked by jin's outburst since he's usually calm.

jin sighs and a stray tears leak out of his eye.

"i'm so sorry namjoon. i'm just really worried. you know how tae reacts to these kind of thing. and this mall is so big. how will we ever find him?"

more tears.

"we'll find him hyung. i promise." yoongi says and tries calling tae.

"he isn't picking up." yoongi sighs.

"let's split up, that way we can find him faster." jeongguk suggests.

"good idea gguk." jin says and wipes his tears.

"me and namjoon will go to the left wing and gguk and chim, go to the right wing. hoseok go to the store that we were at and search for him there. yoongi stay here in case he passes this way." jin says.

the boys nod and follow jin's orders.

_______________

tae decides to walk about.
although tears flow from his eyes freely.

hoseok searches around the previous store and around.

jin and namjoon looks around the entire left wing.

jeongguk and jimin at the right wing.

yoongi waits anxiously at the current store.

none of them found tae.

______________________

tae walks about and sees a familiar figure sitting on a bench.
the brunette blinks rapidly thinking that his brain was playing a game on him.

when he is sure that it's someone he knows he runs towards the figure.

"dada!" tae shouts.

yoongi looks towards tae's direction and stands up.
he runs and engulfs tae is a big hug.
the smaller sobs into yoongi's chest.

tae and toongi drop down to their knees.
the older gently rubs tae's back as he sobs in his chest.

"so-sowwy d-dada." tae sobs.

"it's okay angel. at least you're here now." yoongi says softly and kisses tae's forehead.

the older calls the boys and tells them that he found tae and the boys quickly come to his location.

"sweetheart. are you okay?" jin check the younger and hugs him.

"t-taetae o-otay. s-sowwy." tae sniffles.

"it's okay sweetie." jin assures.

hoseok and jimin hugs tae tightly.
allowing their warmth and love travel to tae.

"let's go home love." jimin says.

"come on darling." hoseok says softly.

tae cries still thinking about what happened.

"don't cry pumpkin." namjoon wipes tae's tears.

jeongguk hums a tune in the smaller's ear.

"hush now my little petal."

"u-upsies." tae does grabby hands at yoongi.

the older immediately picks tae up bridal style as he buries his head into yoongi's chest and his hands latched around his neck.

the boys walk back to the van with the little sleeping in yoongi's chest.

carefully they sit van not wanting to wake their baby up.

tae snuggles even more into yoongi.
the boys chuckle.
