12. Inner Child

A/N: AWWWW!! Cutie Tae Tae!!

"It no faiw..." Taehyung whispered, hearing cheers and cooing from downstairs, drowned out by Hoseok's loud laughter. Taehyung tugged onto a box under his bed and pulled a wooden box with miscellaneous stickers plastered onto it. He opened the lid gently and smiled upon seeing the coloring books, pacifiers, Play-Doh, and crayons inside of it.

"Come here, Tata. An chus Nuggie." Taehyung, sitting down on his floor, on a fluffy blue blanket, tugging on his stuffies, Tata and an axolotl with a perpetual smile. He placed them in his lap and grabbed a green crayon, flipping to a random blank page in his coloring book.

"Oh! Right, I gonna lock da door!" Taehyung babbled, leaping up to lock the bedroom door and making Nuggie and Tata fall from his lap to the floor, in the process. "Much better! Cus dey can't know!" He sat back down, re-situating his plushies. He grabbed a green and white pacifier that had beads that read "Little Alien" on it. Usually, he didn't like being called an alien much, but in little space he thought it was the coolest thing ever. 

The pacifier had small green beads of all shades lining the plastic's rim. Taehyung proudly put it in his mouth and began coloring, picking his green crayon up and started to scribble, trying hard to stay in the lines.

He was very proud. He decorated that paci himself.

"I wan be widdle with Joonie, but Tae Tae scared. An he doesn't wan tells hyungs cus Joonie more widdle an needs attention. More than Tae Tae. But dat makes Tae Tae sad." Taehyung vented to his plushes who intently listened with blank faces. His pacifier being in his mouth muffled his sounds. "An he doesn't wan take attention from a baby. So, no gonna tell them."

Taehyung's age range was between 4-6, making him a bigger little. His grammar was better and he spoke with less of a lisp because of it. He could take care of himself in little space, but that doesn't mean it never got lonely. He could pronounce his "r" sound well, but not "l"'s. Never "l"'s. (Yes, I know the Korean language and Hangul doesn't quite have an "l" sound. Go with it.) He wished he had someone to play with, someone to talk to. Sure, Tata and Nuggie were always there to listen, but Taehyung always insisted that they were shy and since he's a self proclaimed "alien", he also claimed that he could hear their thoughts. They never spoke out loud.

Taehyung grabbed a yellow crayon to scribble in the sun's color, before continuing. He spat the pacifier from this mouth. "I'm a widdle bit hungry, too. I wan fruit... oooh! Maybe peaches! Nuggie doesn't wike peaches. Wan peaches, Tata?" He turned to the little heart-shaped plushie, and nodded, seeming to hear it. "Yah! We can gets peaches! An-" He stopped and grumbled suddenly stopped.

"Oh. Nebermind. We can't go downstairs, cans we?" He asked his stuffed friends. He scowled and placed the pacifier back in his mouth. He started to color the ducks within the pond of the coloring book with his yellow crayon, humming Winter Bear to himself.

An array of crayons were soon scattered on the soft and fluffy blanket he laid on, murmuring a few remarks to Tata and Nuggie, a few lyrics of Winter Bear, and asking himself "Hm... is dis da right cowor?" when he was in doubt of his drawing.

"Taehyung-ah! Get down here for dinner!" Seokjin yelled from the kitchen.

Taehyung scrambled suddenly and practically ripped his pacifier from his mouth upon hearing his hyung's voice. He grabbed the crayons by the fistful and put them in the box, panicking and trying to get himself together, in fear of being caught.

"Yeah. I'm coming, hyung." Taehyung forced himself from his little space and quickly hid his box, sliding it under the bed. He brushed himself up and picked up Tata and Nuggie, placing them gently on his bed and giving them forehead kisses. He put up his hoodie hood, now in big space, getting ready to descend to the lower level to join the other members.

No, he wouldn't tell them anything.

At least not today.
