Masks || Yoongi X BTS

Healin'

The healing process was on going. It was a long and delegate operation which consumed much time and effort, but things were working out at a good pace.

Yoongi still wore long sleeves, still hated himself and still refused to go into his littlespace. He found things hard sometimes, but gradually, the boy was getting better.

Now, he would eat full meals, and the boy could look through twitter without having a mental breakdown.

Slowly, but surely, everything was improving.

Sleep, wake up, eat, dance and repeat. That was the daily scheduel now. It had small time gaps which the members would use to entertain themselves and Yoongi, and the plan was proving to be very effective.

After many hours of research - mainly from Seokjin and Hoseok - the members had been dying to see little Yoonie. Now that they knew, they were ashamed that they had been neglecting one of their members so much. But it wasn't entirely their fault - Yoongi himself was also to blame.

When the members first found out about Yoongi's little space, they were shocked and speachless. No one knew what to say regarding the matter, and they were left in the state of both surprise and curiosity. Later, when things had finally sunk in, all the boys were willing to accept the it. In fact, they were impatient for a chance to see little Yoonie, and they hoped that the time would be soon.

But unfortunately, everytime someone suggested it, Yoongi had refused it rather verbally. He would sometimes joke about how he'd rather die than show them the unsual side of his. It wasn't surprising that he actually meant what he said sometimes.

Even so, they two months without little space was beginning to take it's toll. Yoongi had started to find it increasingly difficult and hard to stay within in older headspace, which occasionally ended up with him slurring his words in his adorable and child like warble, and sometimes even sunconsciously snuggling closer to the one lucky person who sat beside him on the sofa.

One day, when a distressed, unstable and stricken Yoongi ran down the stairs wailing for 'Daddy', it caused the members no surprise. They had been expecting that for quite sometime.

Seokjin - being the responsible mother-figure - made eye contact with Hoseok and Namjoon, who immediately got up from their seats in the couch. Both of them grabbed a sneakily hidden sippy cup and stuffie, while Seokjin who strongly suspected that he was 'Daddy' (whether Yoongi knew it or not) rushed towards the stairway. The pacifier was in his hand, and Seokjin was more than happy to try and comfort the dishevelled boy.

After several minutes of coaxing, the little was finally persuaded to join the gang in the living-room. Sleepily clinging onto Seokjin like a koala, Yoonie had obliged reluctantly. Suckling on his pacifier like a child, Yoongi - or in this case Yoonie - was oblivious to the fact that the members were going to see him in little space.

Upon entering the warm living-room, the little yawned, causing the pacifier to accidently slip from his lips and land on the ground. For an odd moment, all the members prayed for Yoonie to just continue being cute and adorable.

But no.

The second Yoonie's tired brain realised that his precious paci was no longer in his mouth, his eyes widened and before long, a terrible cry filled the room. It was loud and ear-piercing, and the younger members of the gang had started to think that they had gone deaf. At least the elder three knew better. Yoonie was, after all, just a needy little child.

Shushing and rocking the little gently, Seokjin tried his best to calm Yoonie down. As he tried to reach for the pacifier, Seokjin had to supress the earge to melt over the distraught boy who was in his arms. But both were proving to be hard tasks.

Hoseok eventually caught on and picked up the sacred pacifier, before placing it gently against the crying boy's lips. After a few stary tears trickled down his pale cheeks, Yoonie resumed sucking on it again, much to everyones relief.

Small adorable sounds of Yoonie apologising to his pacifier filled the room, and the members all tried their best not to combust spontaneously from Yoonie's overflowing cuteness. At that moment, the little's cuteness seemed unlimited, and the once cold and badass Yoongi was now an adorable little boy who could barely look after himself.

The members were sombre for a moment, thinking about how Yoongi had survived all of that all that time, without any help from them, much less anyone. It must have been hard, and without realising it, the members were silently guilt-tripping themselves again.

After a few moments, Yoonie reachrd out for Hoseok, maling garbby hands and little noises at the redhead.

That was the moment Hoseok died.

Joyfully and carefully, the currently elder one embraced the little, cooing and giggling as the little boy's eyes expanded in wonder at the faces his hyung was pulling. Pacifier long forgotten, the little began to suck on Hoseok's finger. Much to the elder one's dismay, Yoonie soon searched around for a few seconds, before finding the abandoned and much cherished pacifier onces again.

Regretful, Hoseok started to pass the boy to Jin once again, much to the little's alarm. "Seokie, no!" The younger one whined, his words slightly slurred. He then began wiggling about in Hoseok's grip, bareky avoiding falling on the floor.

"Ey, looks like I'm keeping him for a little while longer!" Hoseok cheered in victory and grinned broadly, his dimples on full display. He then went back to playing with the raven haired boy. "No fair!" Taehyung protested in a whisper, a pout adorning his lips. He stared at the pair for a few more seconds and shook his head, earning a collective groan of agreement from the rest, which resonated loudly through the room.

After several minutes of cuddles, Seokjin announced that it was the little's bedtime, quietly he took him to his room and tucked him in. The elder kissed his forehead and whispered a 'good night' before quietly walking back down the carpeted stairs.

He and the other members had many matters to discuss.
