The Curse of the Foutain of Youth

Chapter 4.2

Next morning

A weird sound woke me up from my sleep. Still a bit dozing, I felt someone's arms around me and realized that I was resting against a tough and wide chest.....wait. A what?

I opened my eyes and held back a scream. Baby Jin was no longer here, instead of him was sleeping Kim Seok Jin in his adult form, holding me against his naked chest.

- I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming....

My mumbling seems to wake him up and he opened his eyes and smiled to me.

- Good morning noona...

My heart skipped a beat. Stuck in his embrace, I couldn't move an inch and stared at his beautiful face from waaaaay too close.

What the hell was happening?

- Did you shrank during the night? He asked smiling.

I could not say anything and just kept staring at him in awe. He didn't realize what happened to him.

- No Jin, I said frowning, actually you're the one who grew up during the night.

He looked at me and noticed his arms wrapped around me. He blushed and looked down on his naked chest. He let out a cry of surprise and looked at me with big teary eyes.

- Are you okay? I asked. Does it hurt anywhere?

- Why....why would it hurt?

- I mean you grew up during a single night; you might have joint pain or any muscle pain.

He stared at me, thinking.

- Does it hurt Jin? I asked again.

He let out a shy "no" and covered himself more with the blanket, suddenly very shy and embarrassed. I was too shocked at that moment to notice what he noticed: that he was completely naked under the blanket. I got up and started to pace up and down in the room, trying to put my thoughts together. He was back to his adult self but I couldn't figure out why? Was that because it has been several months since they "transformed" and the syndrome symptoms were supposed to fade away with time? Then what about the others?

I rushed over the eldest room. In the tiny beds baby Namjoon was snoring, dead asleep. On the other side of the room, Yoongi and Hoseok curled up together under their Captain America blanket were mumbling some stuff about cookies and horses.

Nothing changed. Then why?

I ran back to my room where adult Jin was still hiding under the blanket.

- Call me if anything changes! I said to him.

- What?

- If you feel your body shrinking again scream my name okay?

- O...okay ?

Still running, I went to the three little monsters' room, but no one had changed back to their adult self. Taehyung woke up when I entered the room and came running into my arms.

- Good morning Noonaaaaa!

I held him tight, feeling oddly happy to see that he stayed in his baby form. He kissed me on the cheek and gave me a bright smile that melted my heart. A strange feeling lingered on in my heart. If Jin transformed back first then it was only a matter of time before their child syndrome disappeared.

However, I had a feeling that being separated from those kids whom I have been taking care of for such a long time will be really hard for me.
