Jimin was back today morning. He saw me sleeping on the couch. He asked me what was wrong so, I had to explain to him the whole situation Including the little space, adult little, caregiver, etc. I also talked to him about what I feel. Jimin being shocked is an understatement. He kept staring into space probably having a lot of thoughts in his mind." so, you say that you are ready to take his responsibility if he is ready to give You a chance." Jimin asked and I nodded sitting across him on the dining table. " I mean, I'm not trying to deceive you, but are you ready? it's a huge responsibility to take. you can't mess with someone else's life." He asked me being all worried for both of us and I nodded. He held my hand in his on the dining table." You know that ill be always there for you no matter what and all in your ups and downs. Please don't be heartbroken when he rejects you." I sighed deeply at the last sentence cuz that can be a possibility too but I didn't even start to give up. " I know, hyung. Thank you for being with me. I did a little research on it last night and ill do it further." I coaxed him as I smiled. 

" did you inform his parents that he was going to stay here for the night?" hyung asked me and my eyes widened in realization. probably hyung understood my expression and said" They must be worried, tae" I immediately barged into my room, and thankfully Jeongguk didn't wake up. I searched for Jeongguks phone and I finally got it from the desk. I switched it on and it directly opened the home screen. I frowned cuz he doesn't have a password. I brought the phone with me and sat across jimin again. when I opened the contacts, it literally had four contacts. what the actual fuck!! I showed it jimin and he was shocked too. the four contacts said Nana, tae tae hyung, Minie hyung and magic shop main number. When I checked the phone numbers, I found out that tae tae hyung and minie hyung were Jimin and I. " Jimin, look at this he saved our numbers as mine hyung and tae tae hyung. isn't that too cute!" I exclaimed excitedly. " yes, tae indeed it is." he agreed smiling. "but hyung, his phone only has 4 contacts and two of them are us. The other ones are nana and an office number. who do I call?". I asked confused. " try calling nana, tae. by the name he/she seems to be the closest to him." hyung suggested and I agreed. I tapped on the call option. It started ringing and I put the call on speaker so that hyung can hear that too. 

" Hello, kookie. where are you? I am worried sick." an elderly female voice was heard.

"Hello, ma'am. I am Jeongguk's evening trainer. His homeroom teacher, Mr.Park Jimin's friend." I said.

"Taehyung?" Jimin and I looked at each other. we being shocked is an understatement. Jimin mouthed at me "how does she know you?" I shrugged saying that I don't know and continued speaking.

"Taehyung, is that you?" the woman asked again.

"yes, ma'am. it's me, Taehyung." I confirmed

"Is jeongguk with you?" 

"yes, ma'am. he is sleeping in my room. He caught a high fever yesterday. so, I made him rest at my place and medicated him." we heard a gasp from the other side of the phone.

"This kid never listens nor takes proper care of himself." we heard her say. "Taehyung could you bring him to me after he wakes up? he'll guide you with the address and the route. we'll talk here personally."  she requested and I accepted. 

"sure, ma'am we will be there in an hour or two."

"thank you, taehyung"  she said before we heard a long beep.

"what was that tae? is it just me, or did you find it creepy as well? hyung said and I laughed.

"c'mon hyung, don't be silly. Jeongguk might have told her about me before. By the way, hyung do you wanna meet little Jeongguk. he is too cute to resist. " yes, I would love to. I was going to ask you that. Please get him here. he might freak out if go there all by myself. Little kookie might not know me."he said as I immediately ran to my room. I saw jeongguk stirring in the bed. I quietly walked to him and sat on the edge of the bed. " jeongguk wake up. Jimin hyung wants to meet you." he starting whining in his sleep and turning around in his sleep."kookie slweepy. few minesh mowe pwease." " but I thought you wanted to meet Jimin hyung and eat chocolate waffles together. Its ok you can sleep. Jimin and I will have all of it together." I said and pursed my lips together to stop myself from laughing. I saw jeongguk instantly opened his. He is wide awake already." can kookie have chowkwate waffus too? lwook kookie nwot slweeping anymwowe." he said smiling innocently. I chuckled at him " yes, of course." I got up from the bed and beckoned him to get down as well. he slowly got down from the bed. His hair was sticking around in all directions. I fixed his dress and his hair. I guided him to the bathroom and provided him with a new toothbrush and a towel. I waited outside until he came out all freshened up.  

I walked towards the dining table where Hyung was waiting for us patiently. Jimin and I looked around only to see the cutest thing ever. he was trying not to wobble around the house. he was biting on his sleeve and looking at jimin with his wide doe eyes. I looked jimin. He was trying not to squeal hard. I sat o the same chair across jimin. Jeongguk slowly wobbled towards me with his sleeve still in his mouth. I immediately detached the sleeve from his mouth." bad habit." I said and he look down in shame. "It's ok. Jeongguk. don't repeat it next time. ok?" "Okie" he muttered but audible enough for us to hear. " Do you know who this is, Jeongguk?" I asked pointing at jimin. he slowly shook his head saying that he doesn't. " hello, Jeongguk. I'm jimin. I am your home room teacher if you don't remember." Jimin said and opened his arms for a hug. Jeongguk slowly walk towards jimin and hugged. Jimin almost squealed out loudly but controlled himself and hugged Jeongguk tightly. " ok, I'll go make waffles for Jeongguk. you guys can warm up." I said as I walked to make waffles. After 10 mins when I was done making chocolate waffles, I walked back to the dining table to see Jeongguk sitting on jimin's lap and showing the elder something on his finger and the elder was giving all his attention. It would be a lie if I said that I wasn't a little jealous of hyung. But at the end of the day, he is my hyung and no harm to jeongguk. I put the plate of waffles on the table in front of him and the little one's eyes lit up immediately. 

"chowkwate waffus!! ish it fo me?"He asked excitedly pointing at himself. "yes, they are for you, Jeongguk. You can have as much as you want." I said smiling at him. he immediately started digging in. He ate very messily sitting on Jimin's lap. All the chocolate was around his lips. I lost the track of time staring at him. once he was done, he pushed the plate away and smiled at me. I of course returned. i got up fro my seat " c'mon, lets clean you up." I said and stuck my left hand out but he made grabby hands towards me. I gladly lifted him on my forearm. " Jimin hyung, ill get him and myself ready and we'll go to nana. would you like to join us?" I asked. "NoTae. ill pass. I've got a lot of pending work to do. you guys carry on. Bye, Jeongguk." he said. " bye, Minnie hyungie." Jeongguk said waving his head. 

I walked to the bathroom with jeongguk and placed him on the counter. " would you like to have a bath or a shower, Jeongguk?" "Don'wanna" he huffed. "what do you don't want, jeongguk?" I asked him as I took a small towel beside him wetting it, and cleaned the chocolate around his mouth. " Ba-bath" he answered. "so, do you want to shower?" I asked him again. " no no no no wa-water" he said shaking his head vigorously. "ok ok, Jeongguk. I gotchu. No water alright." I assured and he nodded cutely. I lifted him back towards the bed and put him down there. I went to my closet and brought the most comfortable clothes for Jeongguk and laid it on the bed. " you can change your clothes, right?" he slowly nodded his head. I was already dressed so I waited for jeongguk in the living room. I heard the door shuffling. Jeongguk came out wearing my clothes looking really squishable . My clothes are 2x bigger than his normal size making him sink into them " th-thanks for the cl-clothes, hyung" he said like his normal self. " I see you are out of your headspace, right?" He slowly nodded " what age were you at that time? I asked again "three" I nodded understanding. "I'm so-sorry, hy-hyung. I didn't m-mean to re-regress at y-your pl-place l-like th-this. p-pl-please d-dont be dis-disgusted by m-me. I w-wont re-repeat it next t-time." he said biting on his lip and fretting at his previous actions. " hey, it's ok. you can regress if you want to. we are not going to judge you here," I assured "really?" he asked trying to be reassured. "yes, really." I assured. He smiled widely. "c'mom let's go to your nana. we had a talk this morning. she said that she wanted to meet me and get you back to her. You know the route to her place, yeah?" I asked, "yeah, I know." he said. " alright, c'mon let's go" I said trying to cheer up the mood, and held his hand leaving to the parking lot.
