Forgive Us - Ateez Maknae Line

San, Mingi and Wooyoung are 3-6 and Jongho 1-3, Wooyoung and Mingi get sick and the hyungs take care a lot of them forgetting and ignoring San and Jongho who hate being alone and not having attention, San takes care of his little brother because his caregivers are focused on the other little ones, he tries to tell the hyungs that he and Jongho need them but they don't care, Wooyoung and Mingi recover, and the hyungs realize what they did was wrong and they ask for forgiveness, San doesn't want to forgive them but Jongho's big heart makes them reconcile and everything gets better.

Within Ateez, age regression was very much well known between the members. The four older boys, Seonghwa, Hongjoong, Yunho and Yeosang, were all caregivers, those that look after those that regress to a younger age whether it be because of stress, trauma or mental health.

The four younger ones, were all regressors, San, Mingi and Wooyoung generally regress to that of a mindset of three to six years old while Jongho regressors to around one to three years old.

The caregivers struggled a little in the beginning with knowing what to do and deciding how divide the love between the four littles, but eventually they found balance. That is, until Mingi and Wooyoung fall ill with a tummy bug one morning.

The first day of their week off was great, everyone was happy, the regressors had a great time with their caregivers, and no one was majorly upset. It was the second day that things went downhill in the matter of hours.

The day has started off as per usual for San, unknowing of his little brothers that were sick with tummy aches, except for when he woke up. San awoke to the sound of his youngest brother crying loudly and his room empty of his Yeosang Hyung.

Pouting, the boy sat up in his stuffie filled bed, yawning and rubbing his eyes. His brother was still crying so the slightly older boy stood and trekked to Jongho and Hongjoong's shared room, spotting the youngest boy sobbing his little heart out.

San quickly raced forward and embraced the boy in a tight hug, copying what his hyungs did to help them calm down, rocking him side to side and hushing him softly, "Sannie hyun' has you Jonggie. Sannie hyun' has you."

Jongho continued to whimper, but slowly calmed down, relaxing into San's arms, "What happen' bubba?" San questioned gently, "Nightmar' hyunnie..." Jongho whimpered. "Hyun' has you bubba, you safe. Cartoon and baba?"

"An hyunnie's... Wan Yunni' hyunnie..." Jongho sniffled earning a nod from San, "Le's check Yunnie and Hwa's room." San wobbled when he stood, still tired after not sleeping well the night before.

The two checked the room of the said boys, not finding them there either, "They mus' be wit' GiGi and Woo," Jongho nodded and held San's hand tightly in his own as the older boy led him to the other regressors room.

Opening the door, he saw three of his hyungs surrounding the two boys who were currently cuddled up together in Mingi's bed.

"Hyungies, Jonggie had scary dream." San said walking right up to Hongjoong, Jongho about to walk over to Yunho but whimpered and hid behind San.

The cause of this was Hongjoong's head whipping around, cold eyes glaring at Jongho's older brother, "San. Be quiet. Gi and Woo aren't well. You're just going to make it worse." San's eyes went wide before he averted them to the ground in fear, "Sorry hyungies... Jonggie wanted Yunnie hyung..." A deep and irritated sigh from the third oldest however, put the two off, not wanting to disturb the boy anymore.

Jongho whimpered and tugged on the back of San's shirt, "Sannie, jus' need you... toons an' baba an' cuddles?" San eyed his hyungs who immediately went back to tending the middle two regressors, while nodding at Jongho.
