"I'll go with him, I like the intense rides too," Jimin offered.

Jimin and Jungkook separated from the group and went to some of the bigger rides they knew the other members wouldn't go on. Jimin couldn't help but laugh after noticing a group of teenage girls checking out Jungkook.

"Stop it hyung, that's not funny! That's gross!" Jungkook cried.

"Aww little Jungkookie!! ooOOoo you're so cute!" Jimin teased as he pinched Jungkook's cheek.

Jungkook wanted nothing more than to just be by himself for a little bit. So that was his plan. His hyungs couldn't be mad at him if technically Jimin just "lost" him. He waited until they were in the middle of a big crowd and he turned around and snuck away from Jimin to go be alone for some time.

"Jungkookie do you want to get some foo--Jungkook?" Jimin felt slight panic when he turned to see his maknae was nowhere in sight.

Oh no.

Jimin reminded himself that Jungkook was an adult and could take care of himself, but also realized everyone would be angry if they found out Jimin didn't have him. His anxiety also heightened when he remembered Jin's strange fear of Jungkook being kidnapped. What if he does get stolen?

Jimin frantically started to run around looking for him, but it was no use, the park was too big and there were too many people. He hated that he had to, but he knew he had to tell the others so they could also help look.

BTSGROUPCHAT

Jimin : So...I have bad news...lost the maknae:(

Namjoon: Lost him...? As in...? He's not with you?

Jin: WHAT? HE'S NOT WITH YOU? WHERE DID HE GO?!

Jimin: idk hyung! He was right behind me and then got lost in a crowd of people!!

Taehyung : JIMINNIE!!!!!

Hobi: ut-oh

Jimin : Can you just help me find him?!

Jungkook had seen the group chat messages, but ignored them. He thought it was funny how worried they all were. Like I can't take care of myself?

They all started angrily texting him separately but he ignored all their messages and phone calls. Instead Jungkook ran all around the park going on his favorite rides. He'd occasionally spot one of his members from far away and duck down into crowds to hide and make it past them. After going on a handful of rides, he was finally starting to feel exhausted. More so than usual. He remembered how when he was younger he would easily get heat exhaustion if he was too active outside for too long. Oops. 

As he realized he was really starting to not feel good, he decided it was time for him to find his members, he was ready to go home now. As he was walking around looking for them, he accidentally bumped into a middle aged man who was just standing there.

"Oops, I'm sorry sir," he told the man.

The man stared at him, a little creepily. "Are you lost? Aren't you a bit young to be wandering around a place like this alone?"

"Uhh no, it's fine. I come to amusement parks all the time."

"Oh? Well, let's say we go and find your parents then, yeah?"

"Oh no, I'm okay, really." Jungkook backed up. The guy was coming off as a bit of a creep and it was starting to freak him out a little bit.

"Well a cute little guy such as yourself shouldn't be wandering around alone. Who knows what someone might do to a kid with a pretty little face like yours." The man grabbed Jungkook's wrist and tried dragging him in a random direction.

"Let me go! My uh...my dad is waiting for me! I have to go meet up with him now!" Jungkook cried as he tried breaking out of the mans grip. He started to panic as the man dragged him, but to his relief he saw Jin in the distance.

Jungkook started yelling for him. "Hey! My dad is right there! Dad! Dad!" He hoped Jin would respond to that, he wanted the creep to believe his dad was coming. "Dad! Over here!"

The man wouldn't let go of him.

Thankfully, Jin knew Jungkook's voice anywhere, even if he was little. He looked over to see a random man trying to drag Jungkook away and Jungkook screaming.

WHAT IS HE DOING?!

Jin sprinted over and grabbed Jungkook's other wrist. "What the hell are you doing?! Let go of him!"

"Oh, is this your dad, little guy?" the creep asked Jungkook as he let him go.

"Yes, I'm his dad." Jin went along with it. Jungkook nervously hid behind Jin. "What exactly were you trying to do with my, uh... my son?" Jin asked.

"I was just about to help him look for you! I would hate to see anything happen to that little cutie."

The rest of the members all spotted them and ran over.

"What's going on?" asked Yoongi.

"Ah, who is this?" the creep asked.

Jungkook came out from behind Jin, now that he knew he was safe, he felt like messing with his hyungs.

"That's my other dad!" Jungkook laughed.

"Yah! Jungkook shut up!" Yoongi yelled.

The others laughed as well.

Jungkook kept going. "They're actually all my dad," Jungkook smiled. None of the other members laughed at that one.

"You have six dads?" the creep asked.

"Yes."

"Jungkook! Shut up!" Namjoon yelled.

The creepy man turned around and walked away without saying anything.

Jin angrily grabbed Jungkook's arm and started marching them all off towards a secluded area that had benches. He pushed Jungkook down to sit on the bench.

"If it wasn't considered child abuse, I'd beat you to a pulp right now Jungkook! I told you not to go off by yourself! What the hell were you thinking? I know you're smarter than this! So stop acting like a baby, or else that's exactly why you'll be treated like one! And that man...that man was definitely trying to steal you! I told you! Huh! What did I tell you?! I told you it would happen!" Jin's ears and neck were beat red from how angry he was.

All the members were speechless, none of them have seen Jin this mad in a very long time, he was almost scaring them. Jungkook sat there and looked at his feet, crying.

Jin wasn't finished. "You can either act like a child and deal with us treating you like one, or act your age and have the freedom you want. I shouldn't have to scold you, maknae!" Jin's anger was coming more from a fear of Jungkook getting hurt instead of actually being mad that he didn't listen.

"I'm really sorry, hyung. I should have stayed with Jimin hyung." Jungkook continued to stare at his feet. For the first time in many years he was actually feeling very shy and embarrassed in front of all his hyungs.

"Kookie, I don't understand why you ditched me. We were going on all of the rides you wanted to go on." Jimin thought they had been having a great time together.

"I don't know, I guess I just wanted to be alone for a bit and feel like I had my own freedom. I don't like feeling like a little kid. Just because I look like one doesn't mean I am one."

"We know you're not a little kid, but if you're going to pull stunts like that, then that's how we will treat you. Whatever kind of rebellious teenage phase you're trying to relive stops now," Namjoon warned.

Jungkook looked up with his huge doe eyes. "Can we please go home? I'm not feeling very good."

His face was clearly sunburned, and he was exhausted. He was lightheaded and felt nauseous. And being scolded in front of the public with all his hyungs angry at him didn't have him feeling all that great either.

"So now that you're in trouble you want to leave? We should make you suffer by keeping you here," Taehyung suggested. It was an innocent misjudgement, he didn't think Jungkook was actually feeling sick.

"Does someone at least have some water? I'm really thirsty," Jungkook asked.

"We should make you stay thirsty while we're at it! You don't deserve water!" Yoongi yelled at him.

Jungkook looked back at his feet in silence and continued to cry.

Yoongi lifted Jungkook's chin. "Hey, you know I was kidding. Of course you can have water." He handed Jungkook his own water bottle that he had bought a little earlier.

The maknae chugged the entire thing in one sip. "Does anyone have more, please?" He was so thirsty. He felt like the sun and the heat and his exhaustion were killing him. Hobi handed Jungkook his water bottle, and he again drank it in one sip.

"Jungkook have you had ANYTHING to drink today?" Jimin asked.

He knew Jungkook hadn't had anything when they ventured off together, but didn't know if he'd went and bought something when he was alone.

"No, hyung. Maybe that's why I don't feel good. I really need more water." He eyed the water bottle Taehyung was holding. Taehyung handed it to him, and he drank it in one sip.

Hobi took the sunhat off he'd been wearing and put it on Jungkook's head. "You didn't put on any sunscreen either, did you? You look like a lobster."

" Ut oh..." Jimin said, catching everyone off guard.

"What?" Jin asked, there was still annoyance in his voice but most of his anger had transferred to worry instead.

"He's dehydrated, and sunburned," Jimin said.

"Thank you, captain obvious!" Jin yelled.

"WHAT I MEAN IS he has heat exhaustion. We should go before he passes out. Remember when he was 15 it happened to him like 3 times before we realized his body couldn't handle being outside like this?" Jimin expressed his concern.

"Oh shit. Jungkook, do you feel like you're going to pass out?" Yoongi asked.

"Yes."

"Alright then, we should go." Jin went to grab Jungkook's arm to help him stand up but Jungkook instantly fell forward, scraping his arm on the pavement.

Now the maknae was half conscious, and bleeding.

"Jungkook! Are you okay?!" Taehyung knelt down next to him. Jungkook sat up, he was so dizzy and had to lean against Taehyung. He didn't even realize he scraped his arm until he saw the blood.

"I'm fine, hyung. I'm just dizzy, and thirsty."

Jin pulled out more water from a backpack he had.

Jungkook went to grab it but Jin pulled it back. "No, I don't want you chugging this one. You need to drink it slowly or you're going to make yourself throw up. I'll hold it."

Jin held the opening of the water bottle to Jungkook's mouth and let him take small sips from it. Jimin was wiping the blood off Jungkook's arm with some napkins from Jin's backpack.

"Alright, come on. It's clearly way too hot for you." Namjoon helped Jungkook up onto his back so he could give him a piggy back ride out of the park.

In the car, they blasted the AC and headed home. Jungkook was out like a light within just a few minutes.

"What a day," Hobi said, breaking the silence.

"Hyungs, remember when I said I wanted five kids? I changed my mind. I want zero kids," Taehyung laughed.

When they got home Jungkook was still fast asleep in the car.

"Are we bringing him inside or leaving him in here?" Hobi asked innocently.

Everyone stared at him in silence.

"What?" He asked.

"Are you serious? We can't leave him in a hot car. He'll die!" Yoongi yelled.

"I didn't know! I don't have kids!" Hobi said defensively.

"Maybe it's best it stays that way," Namjoon chuckled.

Namjoon opened the maknae's car door and scooped him into his arms, carrying him inside. He placed him on his bed and blasted the air conditioner in his room. Jin came up with a handful of ice cold water bottles and left them on the nightstand in case he woke up still thirsty.

Jungkook stirred in his bed and looked up at them. "Thank you, hyungs," he whispered.

Namjoon and Jin went to walk out when Jungkook got their attention again. "Hyungs?"

They both turned and looked at him.

"I'm sorry," Jungkook whispered.

Jin felt a pain in his chest. Guilt. He felt guilty for scolding the maknae so badly earlier, it didn't help that 10 minutes later he had fainted on the ground. I probably shouldn't be a dad either.

"Just get some rest, okay?" Jin smiled at him. Jungkook closed his eyes and went back to sleep as his two hyungs headed back downstairs.

"Hopefully only two more days of this," Jimin stated.

Everyone groaned.

Hopefully.
