Caregiver: Jeongin (M.), Seungmin (H.), Chan & Changbin (F.)

Chan's POV.:
Having a week off to relax after the stress of producing our Christmas album, the three littles in our group decided to have a few days of little time. They tried to play by themselves as much as possible, not wanting to burden their caregivers as they were just as run down as the littles themselves. But as a caregiver myself, I didn't mind caring for them even though I was tired. Changbin and I have been Felix main caregivers ever since he came out as a little a few months ago. Although Jeongin was Minho's main caregiver and Seungmin took care of a regressed Hyunjin, we'd all take care of the other littles as well, should they need us to.

The littles had regressed yesterday, immediately distancing themselves from us no matter how much we assured them that they weren't being a burden to us and that we'd love to spend time with them. At the moment, the three had locked themselves in Minho's and Hyunjin's room and I could hear them talk in slightly higher voices than usual, muffled by the door. I sighed walking back to the living room where I found Changbin on the couch sipping his coffee. "Lixxie still doesn't want to see us?", he guessed as he saw me returning alone. I gave him a sad smile while shaking my head and sat down next to him, running a hand through my hair. "Guys, has anyone seen Minho? We were cuddling last night but now he's gone as well as his teddy, that means he's little but I can't find him. What if he got lost or os in trouble?", a clearly stressed Jeongin skidded into the living room, almost knocking over Seungmin who just wanted to grab himself some coffee. "Relax, Innie. All three are in Minho's and Hyunjin's room. Nobody got lost but I can't tell you whether they are in trouble or not because they won't open the door", Changbin explained irritably, before getting up to dispose of his empty cup. He might not look like it on first sight but Changbin is a very caring and protective friend with a huge heart and he is especially soft for Felix. Not being able to be with our little was putting him on edge. "Yeah, I couldn't get back in when I returned from my shower earlier", Seungmin stated taking a sip of his coffee, flinching as he burned his tongue. "Why don't they want to see us though?", he frowned as he sat down next to me. "The way Lixxie put it, they feel like being egoistic for regressing. Saying it's our time off as well and we shouldn't have to spend it by taking care of them", I rolled my eyes. "But that's stupid. There is no other way I'd prefer to spend my time than by playing and cuddling my Minmin", the maknae pouted biting into an apple afterwards.

"Good morning lovely family, did y'all miss me?", Jisung yelled with a huge smile before plopping down at the table and shoving a heating spoonful of cereal into his mouth, making him look even more like a squirrel while he was chewing. "Not really, it was quiet for once", Seungmin sassed earning a glare. "Chan-hyung, I'm being bullied", he whined with his mouth still full. "Sorry, I didn't understand a word like that, mind repeating after you swallowed?", I teased before grabbing myself something to eat as well. I was worried our littles were missing their meal if they wouldn't come out of their room so I grabbed three strawberry yoghurts as well as three spoons and prepared a plate with apple slices which I all carried to their door placing it on the ground before knocking. "Lixxie, I brought the three of you some breakfast. It's right at the door so please eat something if you don't want to eat with the rest of us. There was no answer and I sighed, turning around to leave. When I was halfway down the hallway I could hear a quiet clicking noise. At least they had taken the food and were hopefully eating now. I wasn't as obvious as Changbin but being away from Felix, especially when he was little, stressed me out too.

When I returned to the living room I found the rest of my members in a dull mood, Jisung's smile having disappeared too, as the caregivers had told him what was going on right now. Jisung wasn't a caregiver to any of the littles but he was a very caring older brother who constantly showered them with love, watching them from time to time when one of us caregivers where busy. He didn't like them holing up and avoiding us so he immediately started brainstorming how we could lure them out of their room. The option to wait for them to become hungry was gone now that I had supplied them with food so we had to search for a new approach. "Hm, what do littles like...?", he hummed more to himself than to us. "Oh, oh, I know, pillow forts and movies and cocoa and cookies and plushies", he listed, getting more and more excited. Jeongin's face lit up immediately as he ran off to gather all the pillows and blankets from his and Jisung's shared room. I smirked at Changbin as we went to collect our pillows and blankets as well as a few plushies and coloring books Feilx had forgotten when dragging his little stuff to the other room. For the lack of access to his own room, Seungmin went to the kitchen to heat up a pot of milk, stirring in some chocolate and a dash of cinnamon.
