Our Family ☆ ATEEZ littlespace

Even more friends?!

The time had finally come. The time when ATEEZ are going to smash the stage at MAMA. Everyone was feeling nervous for the stage as yet again, they will be performing in front of huge names like BTS and others. They have become much more comfortable with performing to these famous groups. But with there being no audience and only other groups, it caused the littles to become stressed.

Yes, I said littles. A couple of weeks ago, Wooyoung slipped after dance practice, then Mingi only an hour later after hearing the stressed and confused cries of the switch. Both were switches as they only regressed when they needed. Plus, Joongie was very welcoming and loved having hyungs that he could play with. Although when he saw his caregivers little after he woke up from a nap, he was a little shocked and confused, leading to tears of his own to fall as his babyspaced mind couldn't understand why his mama was playing with stuffed toys whilst sitting on appas. To which he was a little upset, Yeosang was supposed to wake him up.

Back to the present, Mingi was on the verge of slipping before they had done their stage, which was a massive con to having his newfound littlespace. Now he understands how terrifying it must have been for Joongie to carry on as normal without the threat of his littlespace.

"Wanna go home!" He whined to himself as they got into their positions on the dark stage. Luckily, he got through the performance without any hiccups.

But those problems started as soon as the powerful group walked off stage. Mingi walked over to Wooyoung to see if he was slipping as well. Which he was. The mentally older had slipped into a headspace of 5, whilst he himself had slipped to 4.

"Wooie hyung, we're little!" He complained, tugging on the others hand.

"Oh no, where's appas?" Wooyoung said, not paying attention to his brother. Instead, he was looking around the room, hoping to find someone that he recognised. Due to Mingi going to Wooyoung instead of following the others, he lost track of their caregivers.

But, once they spotted a familiar blob of brown hair, they thought they were saved. Until he turned around that is.

"Hongoongie-hyung!" Wooyoung called out, giving his best impression of being big.

The blob of hair paused when he heard his name being called out, then he turned, big doe eyes searching for the person who called for him. That was when the two little saw the others face. Tears were falling down his face as he anxiously rang his hands, a nervous habit.

"What do we do now Wooie hyung?" Mingi desperately asked, walking over to the youngest little.

"I dunno" He replied, puppy eyes showing as he found no way to find his caregivers, especially with the leader in his young headspace as well.

"Joongie, hyungs are here" Mingi said, hugging the boy who sobbed into his chest.

"Wa' 'pa" He sobbed out, words slurred and muffled due to the shirt that was blocking him from speaking properly.

"We find them! Soon, we'll be with appas!" Wooyoung assured, already taking the lead in walking to find them. Together, they walked. Turning every corner only to find themselves back where they started. They went in a circle, or square due to the layout of the place.

This caused tears to slip down Mingis face as he heard his baby brother sob louder and the frustrated sigh come from Wooyoungs.

"Maybe, one of us be big?" He tried, wiping at his face to hide his tears. They quickly stood to the side and sat on the chairs to get some sort of privacy.

"But appa said if we slip, don't leave it. Plus, it's too hard!" Wooyoung complained, bringing little Joongie onto his lap to calm him and himself.
