a/n : Tae is shorter than everyone btw, even our mochi ~ 🙃

— 3rd

the boys adore tae. especially when he's in little space.
which is most of the time.
he's only in little space when he's extremely comfortable.

the boy is rarely in little space in front of his fans.
that only happened once and tae almost cried but his fans encouraged him and were so happy to know that the latter is a little.

~back to the story~

all the boys come out of their rooms to start the day with jin's breakfast.
the table was already set and the food was being laid out by jin.

"morning boys." jin says sweetly.

"morning." a chorus of replies from all the boys.

jin chuckles.

"yoongi? could you please wake tae up?" jin says.

hearing the word 'tae', yoongi pearks up.

"sure hyung."

okay, sooo, the boys might have a little crush on the little tae.
well, except for the namjin couple.
they do everything they can to impress tae.

but it seems like tae has an eye for yoongi and the rest can't help but be jealous.
yoongi sticks his tongue out at the boys and walks into tae's room.
the boys groan and jin and namjoon snickers.

yoongi carefully opens the boy's door hoping he's in his little space.
he walks over to his bed and his heart instantly melts.

tae was wrapped up in his blankets that made him look like a cute kitten in a burrito.
yoongi smiles.
he then shakes the brunette up.

"taetae. wake up." yoongi coos.

"go away hyung. i wanna sleep." tae whines.

yoongi laughs. "but don't say i didn't try to wake you up."

tae hums and goes back to sleep.
yoongi chuckles and walks out.

"well. where is tae?" jin asks as he swallows his food.

"he wants to sleep." yoongi answer and stuffs his mouth with food.

"moving on. we need to get some groceries. can the three of you go?" jin asks, pointing to yoongi, jimin and jeongguk.

yoongi sighs.

"young man. did you just sigh?" jin scolds.

yoongi rolls his eyes. "i'll go."

jin claps his hands and shoves him a list. "now,  go."

just as the three head out the door, tae wakes up.
"good morning hyungs!" tae says excitedly.

"morning sweetie." jin sings and kisses his forehead.

"you know i'm not in little space right? i'm a man." tae pouts.

jin chuckles. "okay. but you're still my little baby."

"so...what's for breakfast?" tae asks.

"pancakes." jin says.

almost immediately, the brunette goes into little space.
tae just really loves his pancakes.
he's super comfortable with his members that he goes into little space at the most random time.

the thing that triggers him going into little space the most is hugs and food.
and his little space age is from 1 - 3.

"yayyy! pancake time!" tae squeals.

both jin and namjoon, who was in the room, smiles.

"time sweetheart, time." jin chuckles.

"upsies." tae makes grabby hands to namjoon.

namjoon smiles and picks the brunette up.

"joonie hyung!" tae giggles and places a wet kiss on his nose.

"ew. taetae hasn't had a shower yet right?"
namjoon says as he shows a disgusted face.

"no, taetae cwean." tae says.

"no, you stink. but we'll give you a shower once you're done eating your pancakes."

"kay!" tae squeals.

namjoon walks over to the table with tae in his arms.
his sits down on the chair as jin places a plate of pancakes on the table.

"enjoy baby." jin says and kisses tae forehead.

hoseok comes out of his room and sees tae.
tae also spots hoseok and makes grabby hands to the latter.
hoseok quickly runs over with a smile etched on his face.

"hobi hyung!" tae squeals.

"hey baby." hoseok places a kiss on tae nose.

tae giggles wildly.
tae turns to namjoon.

"taetae wan nummies." tae says and points to his mouth, opening and closing his mouth.
namjoon and hoseok chuckles.

"here comes the airplane!" namjoon says as he makes a resemblance of a flying airplane with the fork going onwards into tae's mouth.

tae munches down the food and smiles.

"mo!" tae shouts happily.

"calm down darling." hoseok says and smiles.

finally, they were done with feeding tae.

"bath time!" hoseok says.

tae tries to get out of hoseok's hold but his hyung is just too strong.
hoseok carries tae to the bathroom and sets him down on a stool.

"stawbewy bubbles hyung?" tae says with sparkles in his eyes.

hoseok chuckles. "Sure bubba."

tae squeals.
once the bubble bath was done, hoseok grabs tae and plops him in the bathtub.
tae giggles madly.

"weee." tae screams as he splashes water everywhere, even unto hoseok.

hoseok looks at himself and looks at tae.
tae giggles.

"you little naughty baby." hoseok playfully scolds.

tae giggles and goes underwater.
he comes up with bubbles all over his face.
he giggles even more.

"taetae ish sana cwause." tae says in a deep voice trying to imitate Santa.

hoseok chuckles and pinches tae's cheeks

"alright baby. time to get dressed." hoseok says and lifts tae out of the bathtub.

hoseok dries the brunette and wraps him with a towel.
he carries tae out into the hallway.
as he was passing jin and namjoon, the older of the two squeals, at tae.

tae was wrapped in a towel and he looks like a burrito.
with his red face and flushed cheeks, jin internally died.

hoseok goes into tae room and starts to dress tae.

meanwhile in the grocery store ~

there were so many people in the streets.
fortunately, nobody noticed them.
at the grocery store, the two maknae's were fighting on who was going to hold the trolley.

without them knowing, yoongi went ahead and took a trolley and walked into the store.
the two boys noticed and ran towards their hyung.

"yah hyung! where's the list." jeongguk asks yoongi.

"here. you guys get the stuff while i hold the trolley." yoongi says and passes the list to jimin.

"alright." jeongguk says.

suddenly, the sounds of squeals were heard from the back of them.

"isn't that yoongi oppa, jimin oppa and jeongguk oppa?" a fan girl squeals to her friend.

"YES OMO!" another girl squeals.

the three boys turn around and smile.

"can we take a picture with you, oppa?" a girl asks jimin.

"sure." jimin says and smiles at them.

they squeal louder.

"shhh. quickly, jin hyung is waiting for us at home with tae, hobi and namjoon." yoongi says and grabs the phone out of the girl's hand.

the girls giggle.
the position themselves and smile at the camera.
the selfie was amazing.

"thank you oppas!" the girls squeal and walk away.

"now, let's continue." jimin says.

back at the dorm ~

jin was cooking lunch for the boys.
namjoon was helping. well trying.

hoseok and tae were watching television.
they were watching tae's favourite cartoon, pokoyo.

"nooo! p-pokoyo! egg! hyung, pokoyo need egg!" tae shouts in despair at hoseok whiles pointing to the television.

hoseok chuckles and nods.

"hyung?"

"yes darling?" hoseok gives his full attention on tae whom was looking at him with his big doe eyes.

"dada?" tae asks.

dada, as tae says, is yoongi.
he had always seen yoongi as some sort of father figure to him.
yoongi is always protecting him, cuddling him, kissing him and always makes him feel safe and loved.

i mean, obviously the rest of the boys do that too, but tae feels something special only when yoongi does it.
he also has a little crush on our so called grumpy grandpa.

hoseok freezes.
whenever yoongi isn't home, tae goes into little space, if he isn't, and throws a big tantrum and cries.

"he's..um..." hoseok starts.

"dada no?" tae says shakily.

his bottom lip quivering and his doe eyes filling up with tears.

"darling, don't cry, he'll be here soon." hoseok grabs the small brunette and places him on his own lap and hugs him.

"b-but, no h-here nowww!" tae wails and starts to cry.

jin and namjoon runs into the living room when they heard cries from tae.

"what happened?" namjoon asks as he goes over and sits on the left side of hoseok.

"he found out that yoongi hyung isn't here."
hoseok says as he tries to calm the crying boy down.

jin's eyes widen and he sits down beside hoseok.
he rubs the brunette's back.

"there there sweetie. dada is coming home soon." jin says soothingly.

tae looks at jin with tears in his eyes and on his cheeks.
the latter looks at jin for a moment then starts crying again.
this time even louder.

"i'm going to text yoongi hyung." namjoon mouths to jin and hoseok and leaves the room.

namjoon
hyung?
where are you?

sleepy hyung
what do you mean.
obviously in the grocery store.
we're paying for the stuff.

namjoon
come home quick.
tae found out that you weren't here and now
he's throwing a tantrum and crying.

sleepy hyung
hahahahha.
we'll be there soon.

namjoon
hurry up hyung.

the loud cries coming from tae were slowly coming to an end which means that he's probably tired.

namjoon walks into the room to see tae snuggled up in between jin and hoseok.
namjoon smiles at the cute scene.

a few minutes later, the brunette wasn't asleep but he was sniffling.
Suddenly the door opens revealing yoongi, jimin and jeongguk.

"finally." jin says.

as soon as tae catches a glimpse of yoongi, he runs to him.

"dada!" tae screams and starts to cry all over again.

yoongi engulfs him in a big hug as tae sobs on his shoulder.
the rest of the boys coo at the adorable scene.

"no l-leave taetae." tae says softly.

"i won't baby. dada is sorry." yoongi says and kisses tae forehead.

yoongi lifts tae up and walks to his room.
after all that crying, the younger finally stops.

the older sits down on tae's bed and tries to get tae off of him.

keyword : tries

tae grip on yoongi was just too strong.
yoongi chuckles.

"stay me dada." tae says as his voice softens.

"i will little one." yoongi says and pecks tae's nose.

soft giggles escape the brunette's lips.
soon, he yawns and it made him look like a lion cub.
tae snuggles into yoongi's chest and dozes off.

yoongi notices this and he slowly gets out of tae grip.
quickly replacing his space with a stuffie.
he pecks tae's forehead and walks out.

"thank you so much hyung. he would've killed our ears if you didn't come." hoseok says and yoongi chuckles.

suddenly they heard cries coming from tae's room.
they look at each other and gulp.

the boys slowly walk towards tae's room and peek.
there sat the younger hugging his stuffie crying his eyeballs out.

"dada!" tae wails.

yoongi swiftly walks in and wraps his arms around tae calming him down.
soon enough, tae calms down.

"no leave d-dada." tae says softly and as soon as those words left his mouth, he was asleep.

yoongi carries tae into the living room and plops himself on the couch with tae in his arms.

"he's so adorable." jin coos and sits beside yoongi.

yoongi hums.
tae lifts up his hand and starts sucking his thumb.
the rest coos at the sight.

what a day for the boys !
