"Hey, butthead, where did you leave your shoes?!" Jungkook called as he was searching through the house. No matter how many times he told Taehyung to always take off his shoes by the front door and put them in the cubbyhole, it almost never happened. He would end up needing to spend several minutes searching for the misplaced shoes.

"I'm not a butthead!" Taehyung could be heard yelling from his room.

Making his way to Taehyung's room, Jungkook looked into the messy room and sighed."You didn't put your shoes in the cubby. That makes you a butthead."

Taehyung pouted at Jungkook from where he was sitting on the floor, surrounded by an avalanche of toys and stuffed animals."I forgot, Papa."

"Well, how are we supposed to go to the playground if we can't find your shoes?" Jungkook let out a heavy sigh when Taehyung just shrugged his shoulders. Something seemed off."Taetae?" He carefully stepped around some toys and stuffed animals as he made his way closer to his little buddy."Is something wrong?"

Lowering his gaze to peer down at the floor, Taehyung picked at the carpet nervously."No." he lied, that adorable pout still fixed on his lips.

With concern, Jungkook moved down to sit on the floor in front of Taehyung."Come here, little man." He held his hands out to the clearly-unhappy little.

Taehyung caved and crawled forward to Jungkook, getting onto his lap and curling up as those strong arms wrapped around him. He loved curling up on his papa's lap. It made him feel safe and loved."Do we have to go to the playground, Papa?"

"You don't want to go to the playground?" When Taehyung shook his head, Jungkook was confused."Why not? I thought you loved going to the playground." He held Taehyung close and started to rock gently from side to side."Yoongi-hyung is going to take Jiminie to the playground too, you know. Don't you want to play with Jiminie?"

"I do, but..." Taehyung shifted a little to lay his head on Jungkook's shoulder."Jiminie said he's not my friend no more."

This was certainly news to Jungkook."What? Not your friend anymore? But you two are best friends. What happened?"

Just thinking back to what had happened the last time he had played with Jimin, Taehyung sniffled."We got ice cream. Remember, Papa? I made Jiminie drop his ice cream. It was a accident, but he was mad at me. He said he's not my friend."

"Oh, Taetae, I'm sure he didn't mean it." Jungkook started rubbing Taehyung's back with one hand, moving it in a soothing circular motion."He probably only said that cause he was upset."

"Really, Papa?" Taehyung was completely heartbroken at the thought of Jimin not being his friend anymore. He wanted to have any possible hope that it wasn't true.

"Yes, really." With a soft smile, Jungkook started to play with Taehyung's hair."I bet Jiminie feels bad about it and wants to play with you today. You can't just hide from him. You two need to work together, like best friends should."

Taehyung pulled back just a little to look at his papa's face."Can I sit on your lap more before we go?"

"Of course." Jungkook knew Taehyung loved to sit on his lap whenever he felt upset about anything, and honestly, he loved it too. He loved holding Taehyung in his arms, feeling like such a protective papa."But I need to find your shoes soon so we can go. Yoongi-hyung and Jiminie are going to beat us there."

With a sigh, Taehyung pointed toward his bed."I hid them." he finally admitted."My shoes. They're under my bed."

"Butthead." Jungkook said with a chuckle.

"Fartface." Taehyung definitely felt a little better after telling his papa what was wrong. He just hoped everything would be okay when they would see Jimin at the playground.

---

Jungkook could feel Taehyung's grip on his hand tighten as they reached the playground. He knew he must be nervous to see Jimin, but he had faith that everything would work out well for the two little friends."Look. There's Yoongi-hyung. Jiminie must already be playing." Jungkook could see Yoongi sitting on a bench at the edge of the playground, looking at his phone.

Losing his nerve, Taehyung came to an abrupt stop."Let's go back home."

"No, no, butthead." Jungkook watched with amusement as Taehyung scrunched up his nose."Go and play with Jiminie. I'm sure he's missed you for the past couple days."

Seeing that he wasn't going to get out of this, Taehyung pulled his hand away from Jungkook's and huffed softly."Fine." With a deep pout on his lips, he turned and marched off toward the playground, knowing that his papa was going to join Yoongi.

Making his way over to the bench, Jungkook seated himself and sighed."Dude..."

"Same." Yoongi could tell how Jungkook was feeling just from his tone.

It was silent between them for only a minute before Jungkook spoke again."Apparently, Jimin and Tae had a bad moment the other day."

Slipping his phone into his pocket, Yoongi turned his gaze toward the playground, looking for their littles. When he spotted Jimin, he kept his gaze on him."Little Jiminie was a wreck when we left. He was so upset over his ice cream, but it soon changed into him being upset over Taehyung."

"Tae said they aren't friends anymore, but I know that'll be fixed any minute now." Jungkook could see Taehyung and Jimin on the playground. The two littles seemed to be talking."They're so precious, getting upset like that over a little scuffle."

Soon enough, both Taehyung and Jimin came running over to the bench. Yoongi got up to make room for the littles, watching them both hop onto the bench."Are you two okay now?" he asked with a knowing smile.

"Jiminie's my friend!" Taehyung cheered with much happiness in his voice.

Jimin grinned widely."Taetae is my best friend!" Then, he giggled at Taehyung."We took Daddy's seat!" He seemed to think that was funny.

Reaching over to Jungkook, Taehyung pat his leg a couple times while looking at Yoongi."You can sit on Papa's lap! It's the best lap!"

Yoongi was quick to shake his head."I don't need to sit down."

An ear-to-ear smile formed on Jungkook's face."Oh, come on, Hyung. You can sit on my lap." he teased.

Not liking to be teased, Yoongi rolled his eyes."You silly goofs. Go play."

Jungkook laughed as he watched Taehyung and Jimin get up and run back to the playground together."I'm glad we started setting up these playdates for them. They have such a blast together."

"Yeah." Yoongi seated himself back onto the bench."Jiminie has been a lot happier overall since we started this."

"Anyway, Yoongi-hyung..." Jungkook slyly rested his arm along the back of the bench."How about you and I set up a playdate of our own?"

"Aish." Yoongi shook his head as he watched Jimin and Taehyung play."I'm free on Tuesday."
