"Just like that- you did it! Good job, Yoonie-"

"Found you!"

Namjoon looked up when J-Hope walked in, laying on the floor with large styrofoam puzzle pieces. "Yoongi I've been looking all over for you~" J-Hooe went over and laid on Yoongi, hugging him and giving a kiss to his shoulder. After the angry sex incident months ago the couple hadn't had any sex, and J-Hope wanted to break just this one streak. "Owwie!" The little wailed in pain from all the pressure and squirmed around frantically, trying with the little bit of power he had to push him off.

"Hobi, don't." Namjoon got up and pulled him away, situating Yoongi to sit up and wipe the tears already falling from his eyes.

"Why are you crying, b-" "He's in little space, Hobi." Namjoon told him, looking back at him for a second then back to Yoongi to make sure he was okay. "Did he tell you what it was when he slipped two months ago?" He asked him. "No, he just said he age regresses, or something." J-Hope had many questions, again.

"Age regression basically means that he's in a younger mindset than his real life age. Right now, he's three years old." Namjoon explained, gently moving Yoongi's brown hair out of his face. He had luckily stopped crying, but he looked back to their 'puzzle'; it only had four pieces. "I-I wan' to pway wif the puzzle." He looked back at Namjoon, his language muffled by the pacifier. "In a second, bub. Do you want to meet Hoseokie?" Namjoon moved out of the way so Yoongi could see J-Hope.

"-ozokie?" Yoongi tilted his head, unknowing of the person in front of him. Little Yoongi only knew Namjoon, and the other one near him nearly squished him seconds ago.

"Mhm, it's one of older Yoongi's friends." Namjoon told him, watching his moves carefully. The little looked at J-Hope for a while, then suddenly shook his head. "I wan' puzzle." He laid back down on his tummy, sucking on his pacifier and grabbing one of the four pieces. Namjoon laughed, looking at J-Hope.

"Why doesn't he know me? I'm confused." J-Hope's facial expression said it all. "Back when it was only Yoongi hyung and I in the band, I walked in on him in little space, and became his caregiver until he decided to try and get rid of it. In little space, I'm the only one who has been with him, so I'm the only person he knows." Namjoon explained it to him. "I know it's confusing, but hanging out with little Yoongi hyung is very relaxing and calm." He smiled softly, placing a hand in Yoongi's hair.

"I mean, before he gets tired, that is." Namjoon moved to sit diagonal from Yoongi. "When he gets tired or you try to do something he doesn't want to, he throws a fit- just like big Yoongi, right?" He looked at the little, aweing at the look he had, trying to figure out where the piece fit in. He ignored him and put the second piece in place. "Joonie, Jonnie! Yoonie did it!" Yoongi threw his hands in the air, his eyes lighting up. "That's right!" Namjoon smiled like a proud parent, watching Yoongi celebrate.

"When does he come out of it?" J-Hope asked Namjoon, unable to stop the smile from forming on his face. It was the cutest thing he's ever seen Yoongi do and say. "Whenever he's comfortable with coming back." Namjoon shrugged. "Whenever he leaves depends on why he went. He could be little for a few hours up to a few days, it all depends on what's going on mentally. But if our manager were to come in he would force himself out of that headspace, which is unhealthy, because he doesn't want certain people to know about it." He explained, helping Yoongi fix his pacifier before it fell out from his mouth. "He's little now because either he's deep in his headspace or he's comfortable with you knowing." He added on, looking up to J-Hope. He was watching Yoongi with such careful eyes, it made Namjoon happy and warm inside.

"But Yoongi can also be an independent little, meaning he doesn't always need me when he's in little space. He'll take out some little space toys he has in his room, or your guys' room now, lock the door and just play by himself for a few hours. He's more independent in his big headspace so his little space is too, to some extent." Namjoon told him. "Makes enough sense." J-Hope sat down on the couch near the two, his eyes on Yoongi.

"So, I can't even kiss him?" J-Hope asked Namjoon, turning to him. "Would you kiss a three year old?" Namjoon asked, with the most straight face. "No!" J-Hope shook his head frantically, his eyes going wide. "Good. Just think of it like this: don't do anything to Yoongi you wouldn't do to a three year old; because he's in that headspace most of the time. No kissing, on the lips anyway, no cursing around him, no adult words, and absolutely nothing sexual." Namjoon told him. "Only you have to worry about that last part." He snickered under his breath, causing J-Hope to roll his eyes.

The entire purpose of him leaving his studio was just defeated.

"Okay, I'll go back to work then." J-Hope sighed, standing up. "It's a chance to get little Yoongi to know you, but okay." Namjoon shook his head. "Are you stuck, bub?" He asked, watching the confusion grow on the little's face. "Mhm." He puffed his cheeks out, holding the big puzzle piece. "Here-" Namjoon turned the piece the right-side up, and Yoongi immediately knew where it went. "Here!" The little placed the piece into the square frame, and grabbed the last piece.

"Bye, Joon-ah." J-Hope left the studio, sighing to himself.

"I DID IT!" Little Yoongi squealed and jumped up when the piece fit perfectly, a huge gummy smile plastering his pale face. "You did it!" Namjoon stood up and celebrated with him, laughing when he started to shake his booty. "You're so smart, Yoonie." He praised, ruffling Yoongi's silver hair. The little looked up at Namjoon and giggled, stepping closer to his caregiver and hugging him as tightly as possible; in his headspace. "Thwank chu, Joonie! Fow hewping me!" He jumped up and down, super excited he completed the four-piece 'puzzle'.

"It was all you, bub! You're getting so smart, you're gonna be smarter than me one day!" Namjoon pretended to pout, alarming the little. "Nu don' be sad!" The little grabbed his pacifier from the little thread tied around his neck. He shoved it in Namjoon's mouth in a little panic, almost choking him out. "Yoonie, you can't give other people your paci, it's only for you." Namjoon took it out quickly, unsure if the usual person would consider that kissing or not.

If so, he's in trouble with his lead dancer...

"But Joonie was sad! An' it makes me feel bebber!" Yoongi tilted his head in slight confusion. Namjoon absolutely adored it when little Yoongi tried saying 'better'. He would always replace the 't' with 'b', and it was his favorite thing about little Yoongi.

"I know. But it's only for you, okay?" Namjoon told him in a more serious tone; but not too harsh. "Okay~" The little put his pacifier back in his mouth. "Can be do anoder one?!" He asked, putting his hands together in a cute plead. "Sure, let's find another puzzle." Namjoon awed internally, and turned around at his bookcase for a puzzle. He took out his math book from high school and opened it, revealing animals inside; he had cut out all the pages so it was secret. He grabbed the wooden frame that was painted like a barn with the animal's names in certain spots, and sat down back on the floor.

"Okay Yoonie, which one makes a 'moo~' sound?"

"Cow!"

"That's right..."
