"No! I'm not a little!" He screams, furiously wiping his tears away.

"No!"

Jungkook was going to his friend's house often. He would always come back with paint or marker on him, and it was getting rather annoying for Taehyung. Namjoon, the friend, explained he has a little named Hoseok, and sometimes he colors on Jungkook or Jungkook joins in to keep the little happy. Still, it was getting kind of out of hand. At least in Taehyung's eyes. Taehyung hadn't heard much about this so-called 'littlespace.' He only knew its adults going into a mindset of a child to relieve stress or because of trauma. He also knew you were supposed to talk to them, like a child. He couldn't really grasp it. It was a little difficult to understand. But instead of asking Namjoon for help, he pushed it aside. No one he knows is a little anyway.

Or so he thought.

Now, what he didn't know because Jungkook begged Namjoon not to tell is that Jungkook goes over there to slip. He couldn't be a burden to his busy boyfriend, and he didn't want to stress him out. Namjoon loves taking care of him. He takes care of him like he's his little. But he gets worried for the poor boy. Every time he goes over there, he ends up crying about how Taehyung would think he's disgusting for acting like a toddler. Namjoon would comfort him, saying that he wouldn't. But even he wasnt so sure. He just hoped that if Jungkook were to ever tell him, he would be accepting. He didn't want to have to take in Jungkook like he did Hoseok, who was crying behind a café down his street.

So there Jungkook was again, heading home after a long stress-relieving day at Namjoon's. He had paint on his jeans, hands, and arms.

"Again? Jungkook, come on! We've talked about this!" Taehyung groans when he sees him.

"'M sorry hyung.. Hobi wanted to color so I did," he tries to explain.

Taehyung sighs harshly, "seriously, why are you acting like a child? You're a grown man, Jungkook. I'm done talking about this. Clean up, I have to babysit my niece later."

Jungkook nods and runs up the stairs, the tears he's holding in stinging his eyes.

"Not a child, not a child, not a child! You're a fucking adult, Jungkook! Stop acting like a fucking toddler!" Jungkook thinks to himself. He was right. Maybe Taehyung really wouldn't accept him as a little. The thought made his stomach turn and his heart thump. More tears forming and he wipes them away, heading to the bathroom to wash up.

"Uncle Tae! Uncle Tae!" The little girl squeals and hugs her uncle tight.

"Hey, Mina! How's school going, hm?" Taehyung asks, smiling when Mina tells him all about the year so far. Jungkook can only watch from a distance, wishing Taehyung smiled at him like that. Wishing he got babied like his 5 year old niece.

"Kookie! Mwissed you~!" Mina squeals at him and crashed into his legs. Jungkook fakes a smile, telling him he missed her too. He didn't want to upset the girl. Taehyung walks over to the two and crouches down to Mina's level,

"I heard you like art, do you wanna color? I got some stickers and crayons and markers for you," Taehyung says softly. Mina gasps excitedly, practically bouncing over to the coffee table that has all the supplies on it. Jungkook wishes Taehyung for markets for him, but he was a bad boy. He couldn't have them because he always made a mess.

"Jungkookie! Hewp me color!" She takes his hand and leads him over. Jungkook sits down beside her, planning on drawing a simple blue and purple flower. Mina reaches for the blue one at the same time, furrowing her eyebrows and getting upset.
