It wasn't a 6/7 little space day like normal, it was 1/7 and that little was Taehyung. The others were all at practice but Jin and Taehyung didn't need to go as they had already done their solos and had nothing to work on, leaving them to be the only members in the dorm. Taehyung jumped at the chance to be able to regress and just physically and mentally relax but then his mind wondered. Jin hyung needs to relax too, does he think I'm a burden? Does he even like me regressing?
So Taehyung done the only thing he felt rational in his almost slipped mind. He ran upstairs to his room and slammed the door,throwing himself on the plush mattress and crying his eyes out. He balled up the small blanket he had in his hands tightly, the force making his nuckles turn white.
Jin definitely heard the slammed door from his spot in the kitchen where he was preparing Taehyung a bottle, already knowing the young boy would regress due to stress from work. Jin stopped what he was doing and went upstairs, seeing Taehyungs closed door. He put his ear against the cool wood and heard sniffling and sobbing.
The elder couldn't bare to listen to the sweet boy crying any longer so quietly opened the door. The room was immediately filled with sobbing and sniffles which soon turned to violent coughing. Jin was at his side in a second, rubbing and softly patting his back.
"...Jin..." Taehyung whimpered.
"Shhh baby im here love" Jin said softly, moving to sit on the bed beside Taehyung.
"I'm not little" taehyung muttered.
"Why not baby? You would usually regress any time you could" Jin said, taking one of Taehyungs hands and rubbing over the back with his thumb.
" don' need to" Taehyung whispered back.
"Baby, yes you do. You've been stressed all week, you need to relax and regressing is your way of doing so. Let me look after you baby boy" Jin urged,all week Taehyung would have small mental breakdowns over stress and Jin was tired of it.
"No, you needa relax not look after me!" Taehyung cried, fat tears rolling down his soft, irritated cheeks.
"Oh baby" Jin chuckled softly "angel I can only relax when I know you and the other five are happy and safe. Looking after you all is how I can relax okay baby? You aren't any trouble tiger" Jin spoke softly, still holding Taehyungs hand. "Is that why you were crying?" Jin said again.
"Mhm" Taehyung hummed in response, shuffling closer to Jin and snuggling into his side.
"Lets get your bottle prince"
Jin picked Taehyung up onto his hip and carried him to his (Jins) room first. Jin had all of the littles little gear in his room so that it's all together and it's easier when they are all regressed. Jin pulled out the pastel green box that was Taehyungs and grabbed one of the soft blankets, a paci, Taehyungs duck plush and a cute onesie with a diaper.
"E-eomma..." Taehyung whispered, playing with Jins rings contently, quite obviously regressed to a younger age.
"Here you go baby" Jin plopped the paci between the boys lips and continued to the kitchen.
Jin retrieved the bottle of still-warm milk and sat on the couch with Taehyung on his lap. Jin took the paci out of Taehyungs mouth and replaced it with the bottle, holding it up for the younger.
After a few minutes Taehyung fell asleep. Jin put the bottle on the coffee table, put the paci in his mouth and wrapped him up in the soft blanket along with his plush that was now in his arms, the littles head resting atop Jins chest where his heart is.
Jin kissed Taehyungs head softly and whispered...
"I love you my baby"
