So this is a request from @FANBTSFIC22, I am really sorry if this isn't what you want I had a really hard time writing this chapter but please enjoy...
This chapter contains little space... which I never wrote about before and I don't think I can do it again as I feel like it is not good enough...
Sometimes it feels like dreams can be so real and so strong, that it almost feels like you are living in it. Jungkook was tossing and turning in his bed as his dreams were taking him further into his fantasy world, playing outside with children, enjoying the weather and the smell of fresh cut grass...
***
"LET ME GO." Jungkook yelled angry as he was picked up to be carried down the stairs.
"No." Jin says looking angry at him, making sure that he is listening, but the boy is just stubborn even though Jin is carring the little man on his shoulder the boy doesn't seem to want to sit still as he tries to break free from the older.
"PUT ME DOWN." Jungkook yells again but jin is not having it. He is not going to listen to the boy as he yells in his ear. He carries the boy down the stairs and puts him down with both feet on the ground.
"You can walk to the chair in the kitchen all by yourself." Jin says looking at Jungkook who just stick his tong out as he feels annoyed.
"Sometimes I just wish you were back to being 3 or something, just doing as you are told, listening, not being stubborn..." Jin says as he disappears into the kitchen ready to make breakfast for the young boy.
Jungkook has always been a stubborn child, for the outside world he always seems to show a insecure boy that doesn't really say much and just is there but isn't there at the same time.
But when you knew him better, you knew it was a mask that he was putting on. Showing the world a different side than that he shows at home. But again who doesn't...
As Jungkook being Jungkook he was angry sitting at the bottom of the stairs... hearing the sounds of all his older brothers up the stairs. They were not his real brothers, but he didn't see his parents that often as they were always gone on business trips and he was to young to stay at home by himself. So like a lot of other boys he was brought into a brother house, a house were other young man also life to become one bigger not blood related family.
Jungkook depended on his brothers here, but that didn't changes the fact that he was annoyed that Jin didn't let him walk down the stairs by himself...
He was looking up at the stairs and he could hear JIn in the kitchen calling his name to come into the kitchen. But of course Jungkook had different plans. He stood up, looks behind him and walks up the stairs again. As he finally is reaches the top of the stairs he can hear jin walking out of the kitchen, seeing him looking around.
Jungkook giggles softly as he hides behind a wall above the stairs so the oldest can't see him. He sees Jin disappear and call him again and this time Jungkook calls back as he runs towards the stairs.
"JIN-HYUNG." He yells happy, Jin turns around seeing the little boy standing at the top of the stairs.
"Kookie stay there, I am going to get you."
"NO!"
And with that he walks down the stairs, for a small moment Jin really thinks he can do it as the first few steps go fine. but than it happens.
Jungkooks feet mis a step and he feels how his feet slides down under his body and he falls down the stairs. Rolling down, there is nothing that he or Jin can do.
"KOOK!" Jin screams making some of the boys upstairs come out of there rooms and look around
Jungkook is now lying at the bottom of the stairs, eyes closed and JIn is sitting next to him. trying to wake him up. But nothing seems to happen...
"What happened?" Yoongi asks looking at the oldest, as all the other boys gather around.
"He was being stubborn and wanted to walk down the stairs by himself. I carried him down but he climbed back up." Jin explains.
"Do we need to go the hospital." Jimin asks looking afraid.
"Lets just put him on the couch and see what happens." Namjoon says and with that Jin and Yoongi carry the little guy on the couch.
It seems like hours have passed, as the others are eating Jungkook finally wakes.
He blinks a few time to adjust to the bright lights in the room, but he doesn't say anything. Everyone is gathered around the boy but no of them are looking at the tv is playing a movie and everyone seems to be watching.
The silinces gets broken as Jungkook playfully hug Taehyung from behind and jumps on his back. Making Taehyung look up in shock as he didn't expect that to happen.
"Kook you're awake." Jimin says, looking happy. Jungkook smiles not really sure what to say yet.
"Food?" he asks as he looks around and is still sitting on Taehyung back and starts to kick with his legs.
"Go horse, go." He says, that moment the others notice the changes in his voice, the look in his eyes and the weird smile on his face.
They reconise it, but they haven't seen it in years.
"Kook, how old are you?" Jimin asks, not really sure what is happening... Jungkook looks up as Taehyung starts to use his own body as a horse so Jungkook sounds happy, he lets one hand go of Taehyung shoulder to show two fingers...
"No Kook, you are older than that." jimin says, thinking for a small moment that the little guys is joking around. But the little man shakes his head and shows again two fingers.
"Me two." He says, not using more words than needed.
"No no." Hoseok says.
"what?" Namjoon asks.
"I think while hitting the stairs his brain took him back to him being two." Hoseok says.
"how can that happen and how does it goes away? When will he be fine?" Jimin asks.
"I don't know." Hoseok says, starting to panic a little bit. That moment the frontdoor opens and Sejin walks in.
"Hey how are my boys doing?" he asks looking around. Jungkook jumps from taehyung back who was still running around and Jungkook runs towards the man to hug him.
"pappa!" he says as he hugs the man that looks up weird. Knowing that he is not his father and that he never is called by that name... he looks up at the others as he hugs Jungkook back.
After they all explain what had happened, he just smiles a bit before he opens his mouth to speak.
"Let's just hope it is not going to be for that long. If it last longer than a day, we need to go to the hospital." Sejin says as he walks away after giving Jungkook back to the boys.
Jungkook pulls on Jimin arms as he wants his attention.
"Dance?" he says looking at him with his big eyes, Jimin just smiles and nods as he walks up to the stereo to put on some music.
As the music start Jungkook also pulls on Hoseok arms and takes him with him to dance in the middle of the room. Yoongi disappears as he is not in the mood for this, not dancing, not anything. Namjoon and Jin just take their place on the couch and Taehyung wants to join for dancing.
But Jungkook stops dancing and looks at Taehyung.
"No." Jungkook says. "You no dancing."
"He can dance, Kook-ah be kind." Jin says.
"No dancing hyung." He says to Taehyung who just accepts it with a soft smile and sits down next to the older once on the couch.
"When he is back to normal he will hear from me." Taehyung says with a soft smile.
The whole day goes by, Jungkook runs around with way to much energy, giggling, laughing, annoying his brothers.
If Namjoon was looking at Jungkook with a sad expression on his face, looking at a kid so care free and so happy, not one thing in the world could destroy him. But now, when they are getting older, the world is just a cruel mean place.
He felt happy for the younger boy, that he could enjoy this feeling once more, at the same time he felt a bit jealous as he also wants to feel that.
"Put me down!" Jungkook screams with laughter in his voice, yelling out of pleasure as Hoseok is carrying him around.
"BIKE!" Jungkook yells as he looks outside at the little bike that hasn't been used in ages.
Hoseok let go of the boy, what does he expect, a child with the mental age of two will not have one bit of concentration or focus...
Jungkook runs to the bike, but while walking he trips over his own feet. Making him land full on his head on the grass.
A moment of silence is taking over, before Hoseok start to run to the boy with Namjoon behind him. Jungkook is just laying there not moving at all. Than just before the boys reach the little man the boy head comes up with blood leaking out of his nose. He looks around and confused.
"What happened?" He asks, still looking cute as at the same time he looks like someone who just got into a fight.
But just looking at the boy, hearing him talk, make the boys realizes that he is back to being him.
"you back, let's clean you nose." Hoseok says smiling as he take Jungkook to the kitchen.
****
The alarm clock make Jungkook sit up straight in bed, he feels his nose and nothing seems to be wrong. He gets out of bed and looks in the mirror as sees a man, he sees himself.
He looks weird at himself, he really felt like he was back to being two and all his hyungs were there to watch over him, like they always will do.
