18

It's been three days and Jeongguk is still not out of baby space. It's very rare to be in baby space for so long. It usually lasts for less than 48 hours and now it's past 72 hours. 

Taehyung is working from home to take off his little.  The little one wails his eyes out if he is left alone even for a second. He hates being alone after the incident. 

It was a bright morning. Taehyung woke up to jeongguk crying. " what's wrong, baby? He immediately brought him close and hugged him. Jeongguk immediately stopped crying and. snuggled into taehyung's chest. "Wow, Just want to be held, huh? Tae chuckled deeply and laid back down cuddling his boyfriend to his chest and drifting back to a deep slumber. 

-

It was almost noon. Taehyung had jeongguk on his hip and held him tightly with his left hand. He used his free hand to blend the protein shake for jeongguk. He added a few of jeongguk's favorite fruits, milk, and a few almonds. He blended them together, smoothly. Later, he transferred the shake to a sipper bottle and screwed it back. He brought Jeongguk and the bottle in his other hand to the couch. 

He sat down and cradled jeongguk on his lap. He brought the tip of the bottle to his mouth. the younger immediately started slurping it down. When he was done, taehyung put the bottle aside and lift himself with jeongguk in his arms. Younger laid his head down on the elder's shoulder. Taehyung started patting his back and walked back and forth until the younger burped. 

He then walked to his room and brought his laptop to the living room. He sat jeongguk down on the floor and put his coloring book and crayons in reach. He switched on the TV and shuffled the channels until he found jeongguk's favorite cartoon. He let Jeongguk choose what he wants to do and chooses to give all his attention to the TV.

He joined the little one on the floor and leaned his back to the couch. He put his laptop on his lap and started working on the accounts. He made sure that he was glancing at the little in every few minutes. 

After a few minutes, he was indulged in his work that he didn't notice the little one crawling towards him. Jeongguk was really attracted to the flashy laptop that taehyung was using. It was emitting bright light through the screen and the way taehyung was typing away caught Jeongguk's attention. 

At the same time, taehyung was distracted from his work when he heard his phone go off. It was Namjoon who was calling. He immediately swiped the green option up. 

"Hello, Hyung" Taehyung answered as he kept his laptop aside. 

"Hey,Taehyung. I called you to let you know that there is an emergency meeting in the office and you have to show your presence at any cost." 

"what!! But, hyung, I have to take care of jeongguk. He cant be left alone. Not today at least. He regressed to baby space and he is being very clingy." Taehyung answered turning his head to jeongguk only to widen his eyes.

Jeongguk, there, was typing away random letters on his laptop while giggling. That's the important client's work that taehyung was handling right now. 

"Jeongguk, No!!!" Taehyung whispered yelled. "Come here to me. Stop typing." Taehyung said reaching for his laptop.

" I'm sorry, Tae. You have to be here in an hour. Mr. Byun is already on his way. He will be here any time. Bring jeongguk with you. We'll find someone who will take care. I hope that you are already done with the accounts of the new project."  

" ok, hyung. I'll be there in an hour and yes, I'm done with that company's accounts. It's ready to be presented. " Taehyung sighed and locked his laptop and put it away from jeongguk's reach.
