Follow the clouds
Yoongi blinks, rapidly.
He sips on a new drink that he payed with another bunch of leaves, because one wouldn't get them anything. He looks at Hoseok who stares back at him with his adorable doe eyes.
In all seriousness, he says.
"Let's follow the clouds.
They are like...like...compa." He attempts to say compass, as he watched in his children's TV shows. Jimin suckles on his pacifier which was luckily in his jumpsuit pocket.
"Like compa? You mean compaz? Hyung?" Hoseok witting remarks his brother's pronunciation, while his own followed the hip hop culture videos he watches everyday.
Suddenly, they hear their baby brother making noises of discomfort. Yoongi sees Jimin rubbing his eyes and his cheeks, all with his slightly dirty hands.
"I guess he should sleep. Now." Yoongi says to Hoseok who nods and yawns.
"Alright!" Out of the blue, the eldest boy raises his pale fist in the air, exclaiming.
"Those clouds will help us find our next um...lodege!" Yoongi says.
"Hyung...you mean a Logde?" Yoongi stares at Hoseok, yet again feeling offended by the younger correcting him.
"Whatever, Hoseok. Let's go and find a place to sleep." Saying, Yoongi promises the brothers a little space for them to sleep.
However, all lodges were closed. Yoongi's attempt to finding any nursery or a possible lodge were in vain. The three musketeers walked around the empty streets aimlessly, following the cloud which had already deformed, vanished and spread across the other clouds in the sky.
"Hyung, Jimin looks super tired. Let's stay somewhere outside. It's not very cold." Hoseok the geek says, Yoongi taking a breather as they stop walking.
"Okay. Jimin should sleep. We should sleep too. But we can't sleep outside. Dogs are bad..." Says Yoongi.
They hear a booming sound, muffled yet closing in very quickly. They recognise it as police sirens. They were probably on patrol rounds, it was ten in the night already.
"Poleesh! We should run!" Yoongi suggests in a hasty tone, pulling their hands to find a place and hide from the said police.
"Bu- But why, hyung!? We didn't do anything wrong!" Hoseok suggested.
"No! We did wrong! We are walking in streets so late! They will send us back to papa!" Yoongi exclaims. Hoseok gasps dramatically. His gasp was so loud that it woke up the half asleep little Jimin as he looked around in confusion.
"Huh? Huh!?"
"There's no time! Run!" Yoongi says, aiming to find a hiding place before the police came around and found them beyond the headlights.
"Poleesh...." Jimin mumbled softly.
"Yes. Polis. Now be a good boy and don't make sounds, okay Jimin?" Hoseok pats Jimin on the head as he says, affectionately using his arms to set his hair disheveled by the breeze of their hasty run.
"Okay hyung." Jimin mumbled again, an index finger on his plump baby lips as he enacted silence.
*MEE-MO MEE-MO MEE-MO*
(I know that an ambulance but for kids those two sounds have no distinguished difference alright!? P.S: I'm 20 and I'm still confused about an ambulance siren and a police siren 🙃)
"Hmm? I think I saw something crawling on the pavement just now." A policeman beside the driver said. The patrolling officer, busy with his free service of tea and a muffin gulps before responding from the back seat.
"Another urban legend of yours, huh? What about the split face woman?"
"No, sir. I strictly believe it's the Teke Teke. Poor girl got cut by speed train-"
"That's enough!" (This is a kid's book!)
"Sorry sir. Let's- Let's go speedily, alright? I don't want it following us at any cost." The policeman said to the driver who nods, gulping as he imagines the horror as well.
"Y-yes sir."
Unknown to them that the said Teke Teke were actually three little boys of Namjoon, the father who filed the missing case this evening, the patrolling team dashes off the street, hitting the main road quickly.
"That was close..." Yoongi mumbles. Out of the blue, Jimin falls on his little bum and sighs heavily. Hoseok makes a "Eek!" Face as he realised Jimin was about to cry.
"It's okay. It's okay, Jiminie! We are not bad guys! They not arrest us! A-Are you sleepy?" Hoseok asks in a frenzy, Jimin nods his head. Meanwhile, Yoongi goes around the crack between two tall buildings where they were hiding in hopes of finding a blanket or a pillow.
He expected too big, settling for a cardboard piece that was huge enough for an adult.
He quickly steals it, not knowing the owner of the cardboard has gone around to take a leak.
"Here! Let's sleep in this!" Said Yoongi, realizing the big cardboard piece had an upper as well as a layer below, acting like a mattress and a blanket.
"Dream well, Jimin-ah. You have to become strong like me in your dreams." Yoongi bluffs, showing his pale arms to show off his muscular body.
"Hmm..." Jimin mumbles, already half asleep as he'd enter the cardboard and tucked himself in.
A man walks out of an alley way, crossing the road to get to his destination. He's taken a leak next to a building, no one cared anyway.
As he went back, horror struck him when he finds the missing piece of luxury furniture from his little space.
"Huuuuuh!? Where is my bed!?"
