Every once in a while, this happens. Kim Taehyung just turns into a four year old version of himself. Usually these transformations are coupled with significant life moments. The first time he turned into a little child, he was beginning to start puberty (ironic, huh). The second time was when he had his first kiss in high school. The third time was when he got his beloved puppy, Yeontan. Now this fourth time? That is to be determined.
(loosely based on one of my fav fics ever, but with my own spin on it, of course.)

Every once in a while, this happens. Kim Taehyung just turns into a four year old version of himself. Usually these transformations are coupled with significant life moments. The first time he turned into a little child, he was beginning to start puberty (ironic, huh). The second time was when he had his first kiss in high school. The third time was when he got his beloved puppy, Yeontan. Now this fourth time? That is to be determined.
The band and management know about his little quirk. They just take care of him and business goes on as usual until he ages up again. Of course, accommodations are made for public schedules and recordings, as four year old Taehyung does not possess the voice and body required for the rigorous idol life. He usually just tags along and waits patiently for his members to finish work for the day. That way he is up to speed with everything that is happening, even when he is four years old. Jimin thinks it is the most adorable thing on the planet and when Taehyung had transformed when Yeontan arrived at the dorm, Jimin had effectively smothered him with kisses and cuddles.
Taehyung is still Taehyung when he's little. He will remember everything that happens and retain every memory he had when he was bigger. It's just his mind and body are now back to how they were at age four. When he ages up again, he will be able to watch what went on in his life like it is a tv show. So when he wakes up in the morning, he sleepily rubs at his eyes and goes out to the kitchen in search of food. His grey-hair is mussed from sleep and his nightshirt swamps his little body.
"Aiggoooooooo!" Jimin coos as he sees him enter the kitchen. "Baby Taehyungie is back!"
The pink-haired boy goes to scoop Taehyung up and presses his cheeks against Taehyung's in affection. "Hi, Jiminie." Taehyung responds quietly as he looks around the kitchen. Jin-hyung is humming while making pancakes. Joonie-hyung smiles at him before looking back at his crossword puzzle. Gotta exercise that high IQ.
"Koookieeee!" Taehyung's eyes light up when he spots the youngest member. Jungkook smiles sweetly as Taehyung reaches his arms out for him. Taehyung easily cuddles into the youngest boy's embrace and sighs contentedly.
Lately, Jungkook has been acting off toward Taehyung. Not in a cold manner per say, just more distant. Taehyung only noticed this because of how much time they usually spend together, so when Jungkook acts a bit off, Taehyung can easily tell the difference. Hopefully, little Taehyung can figure out what's going on.
"Jinnie-hyung, can I please have some pancakes?" Taehyung asks the older boy earnestly.
"Of course, you sweet angel. Why aren't you this polite when you're bigger, eh?" Jin replies as he sets down a decent stack of pancakes topped with maple syrup in front of the kid. Taehyung smiles his boxy smile in gratitude. He makes to grab the pancakes with his hands, but Jungkook quickly intervenes.
"No, don't eat like that. You'll get all messy. Here, use this fork." Jungkook carefully places a smaller fork in the child's hands as he sits in Jungkook's lap. He gives Taehyung an encouraging nod. Taehyung stabs the pancake in an effort to get some in his mouth and whines when the food doesn't stay on his fork. "Forkie is mean!" Taehyung pouts in utter betrayal. Jungkook can feel his heart actually melt in his chest. 'Oh noooooooo.' The younger thinks to himself.
