little: chenle
caregiver: jaemin and jisung
request
"you need to tell them. you can't keep it a secret anymore. they're going to find out eventually." chenle's best friend, yeonjun, was trying his hardest to get the little to tell his members about his headspace.
chenle however was very reluctant to do so, the boy thinking he would be hated for it.
the little just shook his head and clutched his tiger stuffed animal against his chest, tears rolling down his red cheeks.
"n-no wan' dem t-to hate lele." he said sadly, avoiding eye contact with his friend.
yeonjun sighed and pulled the boy into a hug.
"i promise you that they won't hate you sweetheart. i promise. they'll love you so much." he said reassuringly.
it took a while but he ended up convincing chenle to tell his two boyfriends, jisung, and jaemin about it. yeonjun opened chenles phone and called jaemin, telling him to bring jisung and go to the dream dorm, the two members being out in the city.
as soon as chenle heard the door knob turning, the anxiety built up in his stomach even more. he hid his tiger from anyone's sight and tried his hardest to act big, but he was just feeling so little that he was really struggling.
jaemin and jisung immediately realized something was off. they sat down and looked at yeonjun who nodded towards chenle, the two looking at the boy who had his head down on the table.
"chenle~ is everything okay?" jaemin asked, concern in his voice.
chenle froze. his whole body tensed up and more tears began falling from his eyes. he grabbed his tiger again and held it as tight as he could before making eye contact with his friends.
"l-lele w-wittle...pwease n-no hate me..." he covered his face and began to cry harder, jaemin frowning and going around the table to pick the little up.
"lele honey, no one is going to hate you for being little. what if sungie and nana were your caregivers? would you like that?" he asked, his fatherly tone taking over.
the little nodded cautiously and laid his head on the olders shoulder, jaemin running his hand up and down chenles back for comfort.
"d-dada..?" he said as he looked at jaemin with doe eyes, the black haired boy smiling and nodding.
chenle smiled shyly and made grabby hands towards jisung, the youngest taking the baby into his arms and rocking him back and forth slowly.
"we love you so much lele. never forget that."
