"I found something."

Hoseok had told Namjoon and Yoongi what happened before he put Jungkook to sleep, the rest of the boys were already in their own bedrooms.

Namjoon had decided to help Hoseok with the searching for what was causing Jungkook to act the way he did, but everything that appeared until now was as useful as a piece of trash.

So when Namjoon said that he found something, even Yoongi who was practically sleeping woke up from his slumber.

"So, what did you find?"

"It may be weird initially, but from everything that you told us... it's the most reliable situation right now."

"So?"

Namjoon clicked on a few links, finding the one he thought was the most accurate. He could notice what the fake links were saying about the matter and he believed that the best resources were the right ones.

"So i read some parts of this website, and it says that maybe Jungkook is a Little."

"A little what?" Hoseok questioned, noticing that the leader wasn't going to finish his sentence.

"Just a Little. It's the name of the people who act like Jungkook did today, or at least that's what i believe."

"Oh, a Little? And what the f is that?"

"So, technically is someone that is capable of regressing his mind."

"Regress? What do you mean by that Namjoon, you're talking non-sense."

"I'm not. This is really something that happens with millions of people. We just never saw someone like this- i mean, until now."

"So the fact that Jungkook was acting like a kid, is that what you call regressing?"

"Yeah. Somehow with all of this situation of being now a hyung and the fact that the energy fell and threw away all his work made him switch his mind out of stress and fear."

"That's so weird." Hoseok sighed. "Like, how should we act around him now? It will be so awkward..."

"I think it's best if we stay quiet about this until something more happens. Maybe he will get to normal when he wakes up and this was all a one-time thing." Yoongi stretched his arms, getting up from the sofa. "I will go to sleep, i'm tired. Goodnight guys."

"Goodnight."

The other two saw him walk away from them and looked at each other, deciding to read more of what was saying on that website.

"Wait, stop scrolling!" Hoseok said, not believing on what he read.

"Mm, so it says that Littles refer the people who take care of them as Daddy and Mommy? The fuck Namjoon!?"

"Hey, i'm pretty sure it isn't meant to be as a kink, dirty minded hoe."

"I'm not a hoe, dumbass."

"As you say." he joked.

"But, why do they call their caregivers like that?"

"Maybe it's a word that makes them feel like they have someone who they trust a lot taking care of them? Not anyone can take that title, like it says on this website."

"Aish."

"If they feel protected with their caregiver, it's fine. This kind of little community is different from the others. I will read one sentence that someone said: 'cglre stands for caregiver/ little regression. The Little regresses into their mindset to relieve stress, to get away from the hard adulthood, to clear their minds from their problems, because of them being naturally childish or because they enjoy it. Every Little is welcomed either way and this is not a sexual mindset, it's our safe place and the place we crave for love and someone who is there to protect us and love us as much as we love our caregivers. The relationship between a caregiver and a Little can be romantic or platonic and we refer them as Daddy and Mommy most of the times. Some of us crave the protection and affection so much that it's just stronger than us, but they are really cute names to call a caregiver and they actually feel proud and important when their Little calls them that for the first time. Never judge a Little from what they really are because you never know what they had pass through until now."

"Well, that was a huge response and i'm confused with all of this." he sighed.

"Maybe you should search more about this, just to make cure. Jungkook may have another problem, but it's always nice to learn something new everyday!"

"Wait, don't go! I need help with this..."

"Just go to Tumblr, you'll find loads of blogs. I found that comment in one of them. Goodnight Hoseok-ah."

"Mm, okay... Goodnight Joon."

Hoseok decided to get up as well and went to his own bedroom, turned off the light and just searched for cglre stuff through the night.

It was the middle of the night when Jungkook started fighting his sheets while he was sleeping. He was having a nightmare.

The scene playing on his head was actually nothing more than all his hyungs laughing at him and telling him that he was pathetic and preferred the TXT members over him.

When he heard those words in the nightmare, he woke up from being so hurt and so scared of being alone forever. In the end he was going to be all by himself.

He just couldn't help his tears from falling when he noticed that it was all dark, he couldn't see anything, he felt something on the sheets and he felt like he was just that- pathetic.

He didn't deserve his hyungs, they were right in wanting the other boys over him. Who would want him anyways?

He couldn't help his sobs to get louder, he couldn't help his throat from hurting because of them, he couldn't help how it seemed like his heart was breaking into million pieces, he couldn't help hate himself in that moment.

This was a situation that could be explained and reassured if he wasn't a stubborn baby who didn't want to say the reason why he was so sad.

Jungkook bit his bottom lip when he noticed that he would wake up his hyungs, he didn't want that. He doesn't want to bother them, he is not relevant anymore.

So he suck it up and tried not to let his sobs be heard and actually tried to find something to hug, but he didn't have any stuffed animals. Then he decided that hugging his pillow would do and didn't mind the fact that it was all covered in snot from his pitiful cries.

He was indeed pathetic.

Eventually he fell asleep from tiredness, but he slept on the same position he was in; sitting and hugging his really huge pillow.

His chin was rested on the pillow, but his neck was still in the wrong position for hours so when he woke up from falling to the side, he felt how it hurt. The rest of the body was hurting, just not as much.

Jungkook yawned and pouted because the pain was there, but tried not to think about it. His bed was wet now and he still didn't know what was it, well, probably from crying too much.

He thanks the gods tho, because none of the members went there in the middle of the night to check on him.

The boy decided that today he would stay in his bedroom all day, so he decided to turn on his computer in hopes that his work didn't go to waste the day prior.

When he opened the program he uses to edit their music, he saw how everything seemed like he didn't touch it, just like before he decided to edit it.

"No!" he whined loudly when he saw that the worst thing that could happen, came true.

He slammed the table stubbornly and turned off the screen of the computer, too sad and mad at everything to edit everything once again right now.

He jumped to the bed and let a scream leave his mouth, of course this would happen. His hyungs didn't want him anymore and he was also useless to do his work right. Six hours of work went to waste. Great.

Jungkook got up from his bed and tried to find something he could play with. Video-games usually did the trick, but surprisingly he felt like he didn't like those at all in that moment. He preferred something more appealing.

Maybe color something? He didn't know why, he just suddenly wanted to color something, for more embarrassing that it was to admit.

Of course he didn't have anything like that, so he sighed.

"Stupid b-bedroom!" he huffed, sitting in the middle of the floor.

Suddenly the door opened revealing Hoseok, who woke up a few minutes ago and wanted to check on the younger boy.

He noticed Jungkook sat on the floor, his stained cheeks and the big pout he had.

"Good morning?" Hoseok said, a bit confused.

Jungkook just went to his bed and hide himself under the humid sheets, not wanting to talk to anyone.

"I'm g-going to stay here, don't mind me." he said. "Go away."

"I just wanted to remind you that TXT are going to eat with us today."

Unbelievable. Of course they would come here today, why wouldn't they? Ugh.

"Don't mind. Go away."

"Mm, fine... Just come when it's midday to eat with us, at least."

If it was another time Hoseok would've stayed there, but he just woke up. He prefers to deal with this when he's more awake.

♡♡♡

Jungkook had joined the rest of the guys on the table at lunch. He was quiet on his side and was just listening to everything everyone was saying.

See, they were good without him! He doesn't need to be there. He is just a piece of the wrong puzzle. Nobody was even looking at him.

He finished his food and got up from his seat, almost going away if it wasn't for Hoseok having a grip of his wrist.

"Where are you going?" he asked, suddenly scared with the answer. "We still have dessert."

"Don't want to. Leave me alone, please."

Beomgyu bit his lip because yesterday he acted like that at dinner, after the BTS members left. Hueningkai also joined him and both were grumpy for the rest of the night.

He didn't dare to say a word tho, not wanting to make things worst. Even if he had things in his backpack that could maybe help Jungkook.

"C'mon Jungkook don't be like that." Hoseok said, honestly tired from trying.

He needs to know the real reason of Jungkook's sudden behaviour in order to help him.

"You don't care, leave me alone. Or never talk to me anymore, you prefer them over me anyways!" he shouted, surprising everyone in the room.

Soobin gasped when Jungkook acted up, not believing that he was a Little, as he assume he was. That's honestly surprising, someone as successful as him... but again, idols have a lot of pressure on their shoulders, so it's understandable.

Yeonjun observed the scene in front of them and looked at Hueningkai, who had a tight grip on his shirt, indicating that he was either scared or trying to fight his headspace.

"Jungkook hyung, Hueningkai is scared." Taehyun said when he too noticed the boy.

"I don't care! I hate you all!" he screamed before he went to their bedroom and threw himself to his bed.

Jimin just sympathetically smiled at the younger boys, not knowing what to do.

"Hoseok, maybe what we talked yesterday... it's real." Namjoon said softly. "We should go there and figure that out."

"So..." Yeonjun interrupted. "Is Jungkook hyung a Little?"

The TXT members and the three rappers where surprised with the other's words. So he knew about little space?

"How do you know about it?" Hoseok asked.

"Me and Hueningkai are Littles." Beomgyu said, blushing a bit. "It's surprising to know that hyung is like us."

"I think that he doesn't even know himself." Yoongi said while he stretched his muscles. "He started acting up yesterday, for various reasons."

"But the principal one is maybe because of you." Namjoon worded. "Maybe he thinks we're ignoring him for you. I think that his hyung role is a lot of pressure for him and he doesn't want that."

"We understand." Soobin smiled. "It's completely normal, for years he was the youngest right? It must be a lot of pressure on him."

"Yeah, we will do our best to make him feel comfortable around us!" Beomgyu decided. "Maybe having Little friends may help, but let's give him time to adjust to his little space first."

"I'm not understanding anything." Taehyung said, clueless to the conversation. "Someone care to explain what's happening?"

"We will explain, but Hoseok you should go check on Jungkook."

"Will do."

Hoseok spent half of the night searching for cglre stuff and even sent asks to people, who were nice to him and answered to everything. Now he thought that he was more prepared to deal with this little version of Jungkook, even if it was all new to him.

Knowing that Beomgyu and Hueningkai were Littles made him feel better, so whenever he needed he could ask something because it seems like they know better than him.

"Baby?" he called once he entered the bedroom, closing the door after. "I'm here."

Jungkook as always was hiding under the blankets. It seemed like he was a scaredy cat and now after he knew what was happening, everything seemed ten times more adorable for Hoseok.

"How can i help the prince if he doesn't tell me what's happening, mm?" he tried, sitting beside him.

Jungkook wasn't falling for the nicknames, why suddenly call him prince? But if it was to call him nicknames, something like bun or king would work better, just saying... okay, maybe prince sounds pleasant and cute.

"Hoseokie no-doesn't like Jungkookie." he pouted. "M ugly a-and useless an' nobody likes me."

"That's not true baby, why do you say that?" Hoseok asked, happy to have some kind of progress.

"Hyungs always with TXT! Forget 'bout Jungkookie! I hate you!"

Jungkook started to smack Hoseok's chest, trying to release some of his anger and stress.

It made the elder feel worse, like he should have known better and be there for him. He didn't know that being with TXT more than with their maknae for just three days would lead to this situation that they were currently in.

"Hey, it's okay..." he said, letting the boy smack how much he wanted. He understands that Jungkook must feel horrible.

"We love you no matter what, okay? Aren't you happy to have more boys to play with, mm? Isn't it exciting? Forget about the hyung situation, you don't need to be a hyung if you don't want to, alright prince? Just be who you want to be and let everyone take care of you."

Jungkook stopped fighting with Hoseok and let his tears get the best of him, again. He wasn't sure if he should believe these words because of them completely ignoring him yesterday.

"We won't ignore you anymore, if that's part of the problem too. We just thought that having our phone with us while we were playing games wouldn't be needed, but we were wrong and i admit that. It won't ever happen again, i promise."

Jungkook sniffed and stared at Hoseok, who was waiting for some kind of reaction.

"P-Pinky promise?"

"I pinky promise, baby."

The older hugged Jungkook tight, petting his back softly and whispering sweet nothings.

Hoseok then noticed the darker spot on his bed, questioning what that was. He didn't know if the other had cried last night, and if he did he felt extremely guilty for not being able to hear it at the moment.

"Were you all by yourself last night, sweetheart?" the younger just nodded, not daring to look up at Hoseok. "Did you cry?"

"Mhm." he hummed.

"Poor thing, i'm here now. It's all okay."

Hoseok wanted to know what happened. He wants to do literally anything for Jungkook and if that meant take care of him in this version of a Little as well, he would do it. He loves kids so it will be easy. He loves him too, either way.
