Chosen (Taekook Littlespace AU)

Chapter 2

Taehyung POV

When I saw him look at me with his big doe eyes, I could already see that he was the most precious person to ever walk the face of the earth.

"Hi, my name is Taehyung, but you can call me Taetae for now." I didn't want to overwhelm him about calling me Daddy or anything, I had a feeling taking things slow would be the best option for now.

The worker, Josephine, walked out of the room as she had others to classify. I knew I could use this room for as long as I needed to get him comfortable enough to take home.

After getting no response, I reached out to shake his hand, as I thought this would be a good first interaction. Jungkook, though, was ver frightened and shuffled back away from me, whimpers turning into cry's.

I was shocked, I knew he was a bit anxious because I saw him in the waiting room, but I didn't know that it was this bad.

"Hey, hey, I won't come any closer. I'm sorry I tried to touch you without your permission."

After a few minutes he finally looked up at me, his cries died down and the only evidence of his tears were the tracks on his face.

I picked up a rubber ball that was nearby, and slowly rolled it to him. He watched it roll and hit his feet, and then cautiously picked it up, as if it would explode any minute. After he examined it for a few moments, he rolled it back to me. He did this so softly it almost didn't reach me. At first, I thought he was just giving it back, but after seeing the look of expectation in his eyes, I carefully rolled it back.

This went on for a while, the ball going back and forth between us. This was progress, but if we kept doing this, we would be here all night.
I noticed that he kept taking quick glances over at the other toys, as if he wanted to play, but couldn't bring himself to it. Specifically, he was looking at the pile of brightly colored blocks that were in the corner.

I could tell that he was still under the influence of the pill that he took, so he would be much more open to suggestion than normal. I decided to use this to my advantage, "You can go over to them, I promise it's ok. They look very fun to play with"

He jumped at the sudden break in the silence of the room. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly made his way to the blocks, looking back at me multiple times.

He picked a yellow one up with one hand and and green one up in the other. Studying them, Jungkook put the green one on the ground and the yellow one on top of it.

It was just a two block tower, but it was much more than that. Even if it was influenced by the pill, Jungkook was giving into the urge to play, and that was major progress. What he did next, though, shocked us both.

He picked up a blue block, looked at it and then looked at me. I could almost see the wheels turning in his little head. He extended his arm and showed me the block and said,

"Your turn"
