He was clearly observing them bc he was curious on how to act in my opinion! He wanted to have friends too, or more like, be friends with Kimoto in specific. Maybe Jin felt he was the only one who deserved it? Like, three of the kids are too dumb for him, while Tehir is a hypocrite nobody to Jin.
Jin might actually not as crazy as everyone thought as a child. He can communicate, have his own thoughts, and also had emotion, just not shown? He might be an oddball but Jin might actually had his own reason for doing things
