02

Jimin kisses a flower and watches it bloom in awe. He finds joy in the simplest things. It's what his twin would always tease him about.

There's a sudden swirl of red magic and Taehyung appears before him.

Jimin raises a brow.

"Brother, what brings you here?" He asks, concerned.

Because it's Taehyung.

The angel will avoid the gates of paradise as much as possible. And to see him here without any persuasion from Jimin is a real wonder.

It's then that his eyes catch sight of the tiny body curled against Taehyung's broad chest.

"Tae?"

"Hey, baby. Look," Taehyung says to Hobi and the younger twists around, eyes wide in awestruck wonder, "that's my brother, Jimin. He'll take wonderful care of you, sweetheart."

"Oh, who is this?" says Jimin, kneeling as Taehyung places Hobi on the ground, "what's your name, little angel?"

"Hobi," says the boy, shyly before he reaches a tiny palm to touch Jimin's cheek, "you're pretty."

Jimin chuckles, "why, thank you."

Taehyung huffs behind them, "and what am I, huh? A potato?"

"Nu, you pretty too," Hobi says immediately, big eyes reflecting nothing but sincerity.

Taehyung chuckles and kneels beside Jimin.

"Magic?" says Hobi, looking hopefully from Taehyung to Jimin.

"Right, of course."

Jimin lifts his palms to his mouth and cups them together.

"Which flower would my Hobi like to see?"

"Sunflower!"

Jimin blows into his palms and touches it against Hobi's heart shaped lips. When he opens them, there's a sunflower in his hand.

He taps it against Hobi's nose and the child giggles, as yellow dust falls onto him.

Hobi takes the flower from Jimin and with a little wiggle, he outstretches his arm toward Taehyung.

"For you."

Taehyung's eyes go wide with surprise before he smiles, eyes crinkling up.

Jimin breaks into song as he scoops the boy in his arms and twirls around with little Hobi. The gates open to welcome the three. Angels and helpers dressed in white move around inside the gates. Rows of flowers and tall trees create a sight so glorious to the eye. A butterfly makes itself comfortable on Hobi's nose.

Taehyung joins his twin in singing, their voices blending together to create a beautiful melody.

"Welcome to Wonderland, we've got it all."

Taehyung plucked a lollipop from Seokjin's candy shop and with a tiny bow, he handed it to the child. Seokjin smiled wide and tugged off his hat to give little Hobi an elegant bow.

"Welcome, young man."

"Potions and pastries that make you grow tall."

Hobi watched a lady wave her hands around and create a golden bird that flew around Jimin.

"Forests and cottages, castles and cards that can talk."

Jimin brushed the golden bird, that exploded into golden glitter, that blew with the breeze and ruffled the leaves of the trees, singing along with the two angels.

"Welcome to Wonderland, look where you're at."

A dimpled smile caught Hobi's attention as a tall man stepped out onto his front porch to greet him. Namjoon held out a card for Hobi to see and withdrew it into his palm. He opened his palms and blew into it. A flower crown grew around Hobi's head.

"Maddest of hatters, the Cheshire Cat."

Another man fell into a step beside Namjoon, shorter and had a face with cat-like features. Jimin placed Hobi on the ground and Yoongi gave the little boy a wink before he transformed into a cat before the little boy's eyes.

He danced around Hobi and purred when Hobi's little fingers brushed his fur.

"Magical cabins and lovely white rabbits with clocks."

Jimin placed a finger under Hobi's chin.

"You're safe now, darling. We'll take care of you."

"Hello there, darling. Would you like to come with me, little prince?" came a voice and Taehyung looked up to see Jungkook approach them.

Hobi looked from Jungkook to Jimin and Taehyung, as though asking for permission.

"Go on, baby. Jungkook's got a lot of rabbits. Would you like to see them?"

Hobi nods vigorously, "bunny!"

Jungkook chuckles and reaches out a hand for Hobi to hold.

Hobi links his tiny hand in Jungkook's big one. Jimin nods at Jungkook, a silent 'take good care of him' conveyed to the helper.

Taehyung smiles as he watches Jungkook retreat with the little boy.

"Welcome to wonderland, sweetheart," he whispers.
