Our Little Leader (ATEEZ littlespace)

Wooyoung!

"Hyung's a little"

As soon as Wooyoung said those three words, the dorm fell silent. Yunho, Yeosang and Jongho were staring in shock.

How could he just out him like that?

How does he know what a little is?

"...Sorry, come again. What? A little?" Seonghwa, ever the mature one questioned. Eyes widening with confusion.

"Yeah..." Silence once again followed.

San looked around. It was evident that some knew whilst some didn't. "Really? Hyung's a little? That's so cute!" Everyone looked at him with confusion. "What, I accidently found some things the fans write. Usually the little is everyone but hyung"

"Obviously you would find the fanfiction Sannie" Yunho huffed with a smile. San smiled with his dimples on display.

"I still don't understand. What's a little? Is Joong okay?" Seonghwa was concerned. He didn't know what they were saying Hongjoong was, and that scared him. Seonghwa always prided himself on knowing everything about the members. But Hongjoong was a maze. Too difficult to figure out.

So the next 10 minutes were full of the three caregivers explaining.

"You guys knew about this? And didn't tell me?" He was offended.

"No hyung. It wasn't our secret to tell. Plus, don't start placing any blame. Really, if we paid more attention to hyung, then we would have found out sooner" The wise words of the maknae made everyone pause and think. He was right. This made everyone begin to reflect.

"Wait, Woo, how do you know about littles?" Yeah, he hasn't said how he knows...

"...I...my friend. He used to be one. I wasn't his caregiver. Just someone who looked after him. He left. Apparently I was terrible at it" He huffed out with bitterness.

Oh. That's why he doesn't look happy at hyung.

"Wooyoung, you can't hate Hongjoongie-hyung because of your past. That's not fair on him" San said. Great, now Wooyoung has lost both of his best friends because of his hyung.

He was pissed. Even more so than before.

"So, how long has hyung been doing this for?" Mingi finally broke his silence with a question. In truth, he felt terrible. He was being a brat to his hyung whilst he was like this? Man, he felt like an asshole.

"Urm...I'm not actually too sure. Yeosang has been his caregiver the longest. We've only known for a couple weeks" Yunho was refereeing to himself and Jongho.

"Yeah, from what he told me, hyung's been doing it before we all came here. Not sure how much before though"

"Oh...that makes now..."

"Huh?" Everyone was confused, turning their heads to Yunho and encouraging him to continue.

"Well, when it was just me and hyung, he would sometimes act weird. I didn't mind though. I thought it was just who he was. But then I got so distracted with Mingi that I didn't realise hyung stopping acting cute and clingy" Looking down at his hands, he recalled the early days.

Damn, I could have met Joongie sooner.

"Okay, well, at least we all know now. Lets just help right? Like baby sitting a toddler. One that's only slightly taller than one" San joked with a smile.

Man, if hyung was here he would have smacked me on the head.

He got away with being cheeky.

"No! I'll never do that again!" Wooyoung exclaimed with disgust. It wasn't aimed at his hyung. Just that last time he helped someone in that way, they up and left him. He didn't want to go through that again. Never.

"Woo, trust me hyung isn't -"

Yeosang was cut off by a knock at the door. They had a free day, so who would be knocking. If it was Hongjoong, he would just walk right in. Right? Looking at each other with a silent conversationg, it was decided that the eldest was going to answer. Standing up with a huff and a roll of his eyes, he opened the door.

It was Maddox.

Huh?

"Hi Seonghwa, I know this may seem weird, but I've got Hongjoong with me. And he's not quite as he usually is"

That's when Seonghwa saw arms wrapped around his neck.

"Joong-ah"

Yeosang shot up when he heard this. "Joongie? Baby is that you?" Racing over to the door he saw Maddox and was a little confused at first. A second later he was reaching for his hyung. "Hey baby"

Maddox watched with narrowed eyes as he carefully passed Hongjoong over. They know? "So, it seems you know then..."

"Yeah" It was a little awkward at this point. "Okay. I'll just go then" Maddox pointed and slowly turned around. Whilst he was walking away, he heard someone shoot a "Thank you!" In his direction.

He's in good hands now.

Smiling, he made his leave.
