You come back home from an exhausting day at work to find your little in the kitchen, helping himself to some banana milk. Once he sees you, he shifts into little space, and his eyes sparkle with joy.
"Mommy!" He giggles as he jumps into your arms.
"Hey there, my Prince Kookie." You chuckle and hold his hand as you walk to the couch. "How was your day?"
He starts listing the things he did while you were out working. "How was yours?" He asks with a big smile.
You pat his head and pull him closer to you. "Well... Mommy's day has been tiring, my love. In fact, Mommy's kind of sad right now."
Jungkook pulls away from you, his round eyes flooded with sadness and worry. "Aww, no, don't be sad, Mommy." Suddenly, he hops off the couch and runs around the house, gathering materials. When he comes back, you see that he had brought bags of chips, banana milk, a blanket, stuffed animals, and a TV remote. "We should watch Disney movies and eat snacks!"
You chuckle at how cute he is and let out a soft sigh. "But those are things that you like, sugar plum."
He looks down at the items he brought and seemed to think hard for a moment. "Do you not like Disney movies?" He asks.
You simply lean back and turn the TV on for your little, knowing that he wanted to watch a movie right now. "Mommy has to go work now. You're going to be a good boy and watch the movie, right?"
He nods excitedly and jumps up and down on the couch. You let out a small sigh and walk into the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee before you drag yourself to your office. After shutting the door, you sit down in your chair and try your best to hold back your tears in fear that your little might see you crying. Work has been very stressful lately and you can't seem to ever be enough. You really want to quit, but you know that if you do, you won't be able to provide for yourself.
Tears start to flow down your cheeks and you silently sob, your face in your hands and your back turned towards the door. You don't know what you should do: choose money or happiness. Knowing that you still had to pay your bills and buy groceries, you couldn't give up money easily. You start cry even more, the stress finally overwhelming you.
Suddenly, a pair of arms embrace you from behind. "Are you okay?" Your little had shifted out of little space once they saw you crying. You turn towards him, forcing a smile on your lips.
"I'm fine, Jungkook. I'm sorry if I worried you." You quickly wipe your eyes and proceed to head out. "Let's go finish that Disney movie-"
Jungkook holds your hand tightly, not loosening his grip. "Baby, tell me if something's wrong. I may be your little, but I'm your boyfriend as well. Remember that." He pulls you closer to him, embracing you in a hug. "Big me can listen to big problems," he chuckles, sitting you in his lap, "and big me knows that sometimes, mommies need to be babied too."
You start to sob after hearing Jungkook's words, burying your face into his chest. He strokes your hair and plants a soft kiss on your head.
"It's okay... don't cry." He coaxes. You finally calm down a bit and look into his eyes.
"I'm sorry. I don't know why I just started crying. I-"
Jungkook cuts you off with a kiss. When he pulls away, he whispers in your ear, "Just because you're a mommy doesn't mean that you don't deserve to be cuddled and loved and treated like a princess sometimes."
