Little Secrets

Truth Told

"Okay, Hyung.. promise me you won't be mad.."
Yoongi nods at the boy before answering.

"I won't be mad.. i promise."
That one word relieved the younger a lot. Maybe because he feels vulnerable at the moment, but maybe because he's just really committed to promises. Jimin sighs and looks down at his hands, still fidgeting with the fabric of Yoongi's shirt.

"W-well.."
Jimin sighs and decided to act blunt.
"Did you hear about age regression?"
Yoongi nods, not wanting to speak up and cut off the boy.
"W-well.."
Another soft sigh leaves Jimin's throat.
"I'm a little. This means that i regress into a mindset of carefree , responsibility free and safe stuff..."

Yoongi hums, trying to understand and fit the pieces together.
"So.. you're like a child in an adults body?"
Yoongi scoots closer to the boy, trying to make the other feel safe in his presence.

"N-Not really.. it's just that i-i slip into the mind of a .. kid.."
Yoongi could tell that the boy was feeling uncomfortable, Yoongi sighs internally and pulls the boy into his embrace.

"I don't mind. Can i help you with it? Since we.. you know.. live together now."
Jimin wraps his arms around. Yoongi's waist, accepting the hug.

"No.. i can't bother you with that.."
His voice soft and small, eyes darting towards the other side of the room to avoid eye contact and body fidgeting in his seat.

"Tell me when you need me. And.. if you feel little, don't be scared to slip. Home is a safe place."
Jimin nods and a small smile displays on his lips, happy to be accepted by Yoongi.

"Thanks.. that means a lot to me."
Jimin gulps, feeling things that are making him uncomfortable at this very moment since they just talked about it.

"Does anyone else know?"
Yoongi walks away towards the kitchen to get them both something to drink.

"Jin-Hyung used to take care of me. Taehyu-.."
Jimin cuts himself off, realising some points.
"I'm sorry, you don't know TaeTae.."
Yoongi hums and motions with his hand do carry on his story. 
"TaeTae is my bestest friend!"
Jimin's eyes widen at what he just said, feeling embarrassed about his slip up. He covers his face in his palms to hide himself from Yoongi whose just listening to him.

"I'm sorry."
Jimin quickly runs to his room, Yoongi following but the younger locks his door.

"Jimin? Can you please come out? There's nothing to be afraid of."
Yoongi places his the palm of his right hand onto the white wooden door, his other hands reaching out to the knob of the door.
"Jiminie?"
A loud squeal is heard from the other side of the room, followed by giggles.
Yoongi hums in satisfaction, but still curious about his roommate's state.

Yoongi: Hyung, Jimin locked himself into his room, think he's slipping. Just told me. What do i do?

Yoongi scoffs, not expecting an answer but he could use some help right now.

Jin-Hyung: talk softly, baby him and be sweet. Supposed to work. Sweet nicknames could help too, GL.

Yoongi smiles at himself and puts his phone in his back pocket.
"Jiminie? Sweetie? Please come open the door for me?"
A squeal is heard again, soft giggles turn louder with every step he takes towards the door.
