In the middle of the brightly lit room, a lady in her late 30's was sitting with a boy's head on her lap. It had been 10 minutes since she came to wake him up, but the auburn head was too into his sleep. She had given him a few more minutes, while she looked around at the room, that had small doodles or painting on one wall, while the rest three were covered in pastel blue color, the closet pastel pink, and a small play tent in one of the corners. A few toys and plushies were lying here and there, and the ceiling had star and moon stickers, which glowed in the dark. Overall, the room was quite peaceful, pretty, and a bit childish.

When the alarm rang again, the lady sighed and looked at the boy on her lap, not wanting to disturb his sleep, as he looked so at peace to be woken up, but she had to, 

"Kookie~~ Baba, wake up. It's the first day of high school! Wake up, love~"

"Nuu~ I dwont wanna wate up!" - the boy spoke, all the while snuggling more in his mother's lap. 

"Oh my baby, don't you wanna go to your new school? Hmm? Doesn't my baby wanna make friends?"

With shining doe eyes, the boy sat up immediately and looked at his mother, 

 "I wanna! Wanna mawke friends!", he exclaimed.

"Sure, you will. Now let me help you get ready, okay? Then we'll go?" 

The boy then made grabby hands mentioning his mother to hug him, and once she did, she brushed his hair, and kissed his forehead, before they both stood up, Jungkook went hopping to the washroom, while his mother looked at his disappearing figure smiling, and walked to the closet to get his clothes.  He took a bath and she helped him to get ready. After having breakfast, Jungkook hopped again, while going to the car, while his mother followed behind. She smiled ear to ear seeing him so excited. 

The boy, with prominent huge doe eyes, small bunny nose, and bunny teeth, resembled the said animal quite a lot. Adding to it all, his expressions, the way his nose crinkled as he spoke, the way his eyes smiled before his lips did, added to his cuteness. A person couldn't help but try and squish the chubby cheeks, but a person who saw the boy from distance. Why? Jungkook was a little. He had been in little space since he was 8 years old, presently being 16, everyone imagined him to be cute but 'normal', and the latter condition didn't apply to him, well not always. He rarely came out of little space, mostly when he was forced, or the situation was serious or too heartbreaking. His real comfort lay in being in his little space, around people whom he loved, more like who loved him.

The boy was dressed in a mustard t-shirt which was slightly loose, and navy blue joggers, with timberlands on his feet. His brown hair was fluffy and lying freely on his head. He had one hand holding the strap of his pastel-colored bag and the other holding his mother's hand. Upon reaching the school, which was pretty huge, Jungkook and his mother entered and walked towards the principal's room after asking one of the teachers for directions. The principal was a sweet lady. Jungkook began to play with the showpiece kept there while his mother talked. 

"How can I help you, Mrs. Jeon?"- Said the grey-haired lady with a soft smile on her face.

"Actually, Jungkook is not like other kids, he's suffering from a syndrome called little space. And I'm afraid, he's too innocent. So can you please keep him under guidance, and make someone take care of him in everything he does?"

After a while of thinking, the principal spoke, 

"Well Ma'am, don't you worry! We'll take care of him. I'll tell the teachers to look into his daily schedules, and I make sure there will be no harm to the boy at any cost."

Mrs. Jeon smiled at her which the principal returned. 

"Hey baby~ "- She spoke engaging her son. 

Jungkook looked up with his dilated doe pupils, and smiled at his mother, showing his bunny teeth. Meanwhile, the principal had to control herself from UwU'ng out loud.
