3RD Person POV
What's this guy's problem? han thought. Why does he look shocked? Han frowned. He doesn't look that old, does he? He follows a strict skin care schedule. Was he looking at his cheeks? He covered his cheeks. No matter how much he worked out he couldn't get rid of the annoying fat in his face. Everyone always commented on his chubby cheeks. They say it looks like a squirrel holding food in its mouth. Other people might think it's cute but han hates it. He hates the fact that even though he has a six pack and a 70 cm waist he always feels. Overweight.
OMG lee Know thought. HE DOES LOOK LIKE A SQUIRELL, I WANNA HUG HIM, CAN I HUG HIM?
"Can I hug him?" Lee Know said deadpan. Not realizing he voiced his thoughts he just kept staring at him and having internal gay panic.
"Why the frick are you asking us?" Chan said with his hand around Jeongins shoulder.
"Yea were not him" Jeongin said chuckling. Lee Know turned a deep crimson red. Did he seriously just say that out loud?
"Uhhhhhhh I mean sure?" Han said hesitantly opening his arms for an embrace. If Han was being completely honest, he wanted a hug too. It's been a long day for him. Even if it's a hug from this total stranger he met like two minutes ago. Lee Know slowly and awkwardly approached him. He was literally the same height as Jeongin but 5 foot 6 inches felt pretty tall to jisung who was 4 foot 10 inches. Han felt as if he had to crane his neck just to get a good look at the blue-haired boy.
[Blue haired Minho is my favorite. He looks so like... savage, y'know?]
Lee know looked down at the small boy whose arms were slowly lowering to his sides. Lee know slightly lifted han as he snaked his arms around that small waist and bent down for the embrace. This took han off guard, he felt himself being lifted [Just an inch of the ground not full-on princess carry] as if he were a feather into a hug. Lee know was careful as not to break him. But han clung to him scared to let go. Once he lets go, he has to grow up. Go to college, get a job, 'get a life' as the bullies would tell him.
Lee know didn't want to let go either. Han was so small, so beautiful, so perfect. Suddenly they heard a through being cleared from their left and remembered where they were. Lee know dropped han and even though it was only an inch han was not expecting it and lost his balance for a moment. He quickly regained his footing and was flustered as he turned to his roommate. Why did that hug feel so... intense?
"Alright weirdos. Let's get you guys unpacked." Chan said and started to walk in. Han was nervous that Chan would find his little space bag. He wants as little people to know as possible. He tugged on jeongins sleeve twice getting his attention then whispered in his ear.
"Innie what if he finds it?!" Han said in a panic.
"Don't worry Ji. He won't I put it in the back of the closet behind some of your clothes you unpacked. He's just here to help build the furniture." Jeongin whispered reassuring the shorter patting his head.
Minho didn't hear their conversation and was confused. What could be worrying the squirrel boy so much? He followed them into the dorm and helped them build the furniture.
[The younger boys had to show the elders what an Alan wrench was. Poor Minho and Chan were so confused.]
~TiMe sKiP~ *Chan and Lee Know are back at the apartment. Lee Know is thinking of han.*
(1:00 AM. They lost a screw under a couch.)
"Mmmhn. Finally, home" Lee Know said kicking off his shoes. "I am so freaking tired. Good thing we don't have work tomorrow otherwise we'd be screwed." Lee Know said as he got changed into his fluffiest Pajamas.
[I like to imagine he wears a perry the platypus onesie. So, there's that mental image]
Lee Know climbed into his covers careful not to wake his three cats peacefully sleeping on his pillow. "Night Soonie, Night Doongie, Night Dori!" He whispered and curled up into a little ball.
"OH, HEALL NAH!" Chan yelled yanking the covers off Lee know making the cats jump up and scurry away in fear.
"MY BABIES" Lee know yelled hitting Chan with a pillow. "How dare you?!" Lee know shouted angrily hitting Chan with a pillow. "You scared my babies" he pouted as he gathered his cats in his arms then setting them carefully on his bad fixing the covers to make them more comfortable. "There" he said about ready to crawl back into bed when he felt his legs being swept out from under him as he fell backwards awkwardly into Chans arms. "AH what the actual hell Chan?!"
"What did I say about not going to sleep until you read all the articles you could find huh?!" Chan said dropping Lee Know into his office chair.
"Ah shit." Lee Know said as the previous events came rushing back to him. "But chaaaaaaaan! I already said it won't happen again!"
"And I don't care Lee Minho. Keep up this whining and I'm going to make you write an essay about it too." Chan said losing patience. It's about time Lee Know finally 'knows' something.
Lee Know pinched his thumb and index finger together and glided them over his thinly pursed lips signifying he was 'zipping his mouth shut' and 'handed Chan the key' He really didn't want to write an essay at 1:30 AM.
Let's see... he thought. "What is little space" He typed into the search engine.
"little space (uncountable) (BDSM, neologism) The state of mind a little enters when they are comfortable engaging in ageplay. (psychology, neologism) The state of mind a little enters when regressing, often as a coping mechanism."
[I got this straight from Google so please don't yell at me for plagiarism or any stuff like that]
"Uhhhh Chan?" He said hesitantly raising his hand not wanting to make him angry at this hour.
"What do you want?" Chan half said half sighed.
"Is your boyfriend... Sick?" Lee knows said slightly worried about Jeongin. Whether he admits it or not he does care about his friends.
"No. Why would you think that?" Chan said, taking off his glasses and walking towards Lee Know to see what he was looking at.
"The internet is saying it's a syndrome" Minho said turning back to his computer.
"Well, the internet is wrong. It's not a syndrome, disease, or fetish thing. It's a kind of state of mind." Chan said sitting down at the foot of Lee Knows bed. Lee Know turned off his monitor and spun his chair to face Chan. He was kind of understanding it now.
"Listen, you can think of it this way. He has two personalities inside of him. Wreckless adult Jeongin and careful baby Jeongin. When he is in his 'Little headspace' it's just as if he's really that young. I'm his 'caregiver' so whenever he's in that headspace I act as his guardian or 'dad' as he calls me. There's nothing wrong with him or littles in general, it's just how they relax or distress. It's like how you calm down or rewind by taking a bubble bath with candles and wine." Chan explained to a tired but interested Minho. His eyes seemed to wake up when he heard the last sentence.
"Y-yah! How'd you know I did that." Lee Know mumbled under his breath. Chan just laughed.
"Who else could be listening to American Pop and stumbling through the lyric's half drunk in our bathroom on Fridays at seven when I normally go clubbing?" Chan said laughing at his embarrassed roommate.
"Whatever, I learned about little space. Can I go to bed now?" Minho asked rubbing his eyes.
"Fine I guess" Chan said going to the bathroom to shower. "Goodnight!" He called out.
"Night" Minho mumbled as he drifted off into a deep well-deserved sleep.
