"i-i'm jeongguk..."

taehyung stared at him. "oh! you're that kid gummie keeps talking about!"

"mhm..."

"wanna be friends?" taehyung aks, tilting his head to the side ever so slightly.

jeongguk looks up at him. "s-sure!" he says and smiles at him, the former returning the smile.

"b-but the th-thing ab-about me i-is that i-i hav-have a s-stutter..." jeongguk said quietly, pulling his hand away and looking down.

"hey, it's okay. i think it's really cute!"

"r-really?"

"yeah!" he gasped. "do you want to see my favorite stuffed animal?"

jeongguk nodded and smiled. "d-do y-you w-wanna see m-my favorite s-stuffed a-animal t-too?"

"sure!"

taehyung grabbed his hand and held it, running to his shared room with bambam. he went to his bed and grabbed what seemed to be a tiger plushie. "this is tigger! my mommy gave it to me before she died."

"wh-why i-is the na-name ti-tigger?"

"my mommy always called me her baby tiger!" taehyung exclaimed, smiling widely

no one could deny the fact that taehyung was beautiful. jeongguk couldn't help but stare at his features.

"ooo that's cool!" jeongguk smiled. "l-let's g-go se-see mi-mine!"

"Okie!"

jeongguk lead them to his room with bogum and went over to his bed, grabbing a bunny plushie.

"th-this is fu-fuzzy!"

"fuzzy?" taehyung questioned, cocking his head to the side in confusion.

"y-yea! fu-fuzzy!"

"why is the name fuzzy?"

"mo-mommy said be-because he-her vi-vision was f-fuzzy when sh-she made i-it!" jeongguk said and smiled widely, bunny like.

taehyung stared at him, admiring his features. his skin smooth, eyes big and doe, lips that he could kiss all day.

taehyung smiled at him. jeongguk put his plushie down and went to taehyung and hugged him. taehyung was surprised but hugged back.

"are you okay, ggu?"

jeongguk smiled at the nickname. "mhm. th-thank y-you."

"for what?"

"u-understanding. y-you u-understand m-me."

"what about jinyoung? jackson?"

"n-no, th-they d-don't h-have pl-plushies or toys th-that are m-meant to be f-for kids. th-they d-don't n-need to s-sleep w-with a-a n-night l-light."

taehyung smiled and pulled jeongguk closer. "i heard bogum's being mean to you, is that true?" jeongguk stayed quiet.

"y-you also do-don't fi-find my stu-stutter ann-annoying."

taehyung hugged jeongguk tighter. "that's because your stutter isn't annoying. baby ggu, i love your stutter."

jeongguk mumbled something in taehyung's

chest, not audible to anybody.

"baby ggu, you have to repeat. i couldn't hear you." taehyung said softly. jeongguk removed his face.

"c-can w-we c-cuddle?"
