a/n: Just a warning: 
Brace yourselves and prepare your heart for the cuteness overload (and a tad of cringe-worthiness — but that's actually to be expected in every story that involves age-play or little space), because I myself — as the author — nearly died while writing this. (Lmao)

Anyways, have fun reading! :D

It was late at night and the moon was hanging high in the dark, cloudless sky. Everything was peaceful and quiet. The members in the dorm were long since deep in their slumber and faint snoring sounds could be heard.

But then, Taehyung's long, beautiful eyelashes twitched slightly and shortly after, his eyes fluttered open elegantly like the wings of a butterfly.

His empty stomach had been grumbling and aching since he hadn't eaten anything at all for dinner.

The 'Little' sleepily grabbed his tummy and waited for it to calm down but of course, his stomach only growled louder with each passing minutes, irritating the famished vocalist. All the sleepiness and the empty feeling in his stomach made him whine out loud and it didn't take long before he dissolved into tears and soon, he was erupting loud wailing sounds.

Hoseok — who had been sleeping on the bed across from Taehyung — was startled awake by the crying noises of his fellow 'Little'. J-Hope rubbed his eyes tiredly and looked around and scanned the obscure room. When his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he crawled out of his bed and trotted across to Taehyung's bed.

"Taetae don't cry, Hobi is here," Hoseok tried to sooth him while patting the younger's chest, imitating Yoongi since the latter comforted him like this all the time when he was sad. That seemed to work somehow and Taehyung stopped crying for a moment to stare at Hoseok curiously.

However, when Hoseok made no intention to feed him, Taehyung started crying again, louder this time, making the other 'Little' wince at the loudness. Hoseok pouted and huffed in defeat before getting up to leave the room.

Taehyung only sobbed louder when he realised that he was alone now in the dark room. He turned around and sat up slowly, making the blankets pool around his waist loosely. The second youngest looked at the door where Hoseok had gone out and let out a choked sob, "Hobi..."

~~~~~

Hoseok ran into Yoongi's room but when he came over to the bed, he couldn't find the owner of the room. Instead, he recognised Namjoon, Jin and Jimin's sleeping forms sprawled across the king-sized bed.

Jimin had a thumb hanging loosely from the corner of his mouth, his head was placed on top of Jin's chest — approximately above the heart — while his two limbs were draped over Namjoon's abdomen and thighs. You could compare their sleeping position with a crooked 'H'.

Hoseok turned around with a wide grin and quietly moved out of the room and proceeded to Namjoon and Jin's shared room, where he finally found his target — Yoongi.

The main dancer of the group smiled gleefully and jumped onto the bed, jolting the older awake. Yoongi cursed out loud and lifted his foot to kick whoever interrupted his precious sleep. However, when he realised that it was Hoseok, he stopped immediately and put his leg down.

Yoongi yawned and closed his eyes. "What's wrong, Hobi?" The words came out slurred as the older rapper questioned tiredly, his voice hoarse and deep from sleep.

Hoseok pointed in the direction of the room where Taehyung currently stayed and answered. "Taetae is crying."

With his eyes still shut, Yoongi tiredly reached up his hand to tousle Hoseok's hair, making the younger giggle.

"Find Jungkook, only he can calm Taehyung down," Yoongi instructed and squeezed the younger's cheek lightly. Hoseok nodded obediently and left to complete his new task of finding the maknae.

Finding Jungkook was easy since the latter was in his own bedroom. Hoseok ran over to the youngest of the group and shook him softly in an attempt to wake him up. However, when the youngest didn't even budge, Hoseok shook him back and forth with more strength but not even this could wake him up.

Hoseok inhaled a deep breath before scooting closer to the maknae, "Kookie, wakie wakie!" Hoseok shouted in his ear and finally, Jungkook stirred awake with a tired groan.

Addleheaded, the main vocalist blinked a few times and when he took in Hoseok's presence, he gave the latter a sleepy smile. "What's the matter, Hobi-hyung?" Hoseok grinned back and tried to pull the younger up by his arm but failed. Hoseok puffed and let go of the younger male.

"Kookie, Taetae is crying."

It took a few moments to let the words sink in his tired mind but when his hazy brain successfully registered the information, Jungkook sat up quickly with furrowed eyebrows. Indeed, he could hear deep sobbing sounds coming from Taehyung's room and he grew even more concerned, "Why?"

Hoseok shook his head cluelessly, "Dunno."

Jungkook shoved his blanket off himself mindlessly and dragged his feet towards the source of the crying sounds.

Hoseok followed the younger out of the room before running back to Yoongi.

~~~~~

"Did you find Jungkook?" Yoongi asked when Hoseok jumped onto the bed again. Hoseok nodded and crawled under the blanket to lie down next to the older rapper. Yoongi considerately moved to the side to make space for the younger before slinging his arms around him.

Hoseok made a happy squeak and intertwined his legs with Yoongi's before following the older to dreamland.

~~~~~

With each step he took, the sobbing sounds got louder, and Jungkook hurried up and picked up his pace until he was jogging over to Taehyung's room.

When Jungkook arrived at his destination, the first thing he saw was a shaking form — which his hazy brain recognised was Taehyung — that was surrounded by blankets in the centre of the bed.

He rushed over to the older male and the sobs reduced to little sniffles and whimpers instantaneously. "K-Kookie..." Taehyung snivelled pitifully and reached out to the younger who immediately picked him up. Jungkook stumbled a little bit since he was still feeling drowsy but he made sure to maintain a firm hold of the older and kept him safe in his arms.

Jungkook disregarded the fact that he was shirtless (Most of the members slept without a top since that was more comfortable but they only did that in the dorm where no camera could capture them.) and put Taehyung's head on his bare shoulder. Taehyung automatically wrapped his legs around the younger and s his arms around Jungkook's neck. The older male coughed a few times — in consecution of vehement weeping and crying — before he continued to let out soft, broken whimpers.

"It's okay, hyung, I've got you, it's alright," Jungkook soothed and paced up and down in the room slowly, all the while patting Taehyung's back in a steady rhythm in an attempt to becalm the latter.

Slowly but surely, Taehyung simmered down and his whimpers reduced to short hiccups and the hiccups became quiet sniffles. "Good boy..." Jungkook cooed softly, the overflowing endearment still noticeable in his hoarse voice although he was so dead-tired that he could fall asleep right there on the spot carrying Taehyung on his front.

Jungkook ambled a few more rounds in the rather spacious room with Taehyung in his arms before eventually — when Taehyung became silent — strolling over to the bed and lying down (together with the latter still wrapped safely in his embrace) on the bed.

He to his side to lay the older male down carefully next to him and slid his strong arm under the sub vocalist's head before protectively draping his other arm around the former's waist. Jungkook cuddled him close and within a minute, the youngest of the group was out like a light and soon began snoring lightly — an indication that he was deeply asleep.

Jungkook's presence and fragrant scent worked wonders as it made Taehyung incredibly slumberous and he felt secure engulfed in the maknae's warmth. Just when he was about to drift off to sleep, his empty stomach growled noisily yet once again.

The reason why he didn't eat the dinner which Jin had so painstakingly prepared was that he — for some unknown reason — had wanted to drink milk instead of proper food. Right now, he needed and craved for the lactic drink even more.

Taehyung whined in discomfort and snuggled even closer to the consoling heat that was provided by Jungkook's body. The hunger in addition with somnolence forced him to slip even further into his headspace and so, Taehyung's mind began regressing gradually. In just a short span of time, his level of thinking shrank down to that of a mere infant.

Following his infantile instincts, Taehyung buried his face deeper into Jungkook's bare chest and nuzzled around the warm skin aimlessly with his nose and mouth. When his lips finally touched what he had been blindly searching for, Taehyung felicitously parted his lips and his mouth latched automatically onto one of the maknae's s as he put a hand on Jungkook's waist to keep the latter in place.

Jungkook only squirmed a little bit at the weird sensation, but aside from that, he didn't show any sign of waking up.

However, the moment Taehyung started to and gnaw on his , Jungkook's body shuddered visibly and the main vocalist jolted awake with an audible gasp. Utterly confused and his mind still foggy from sleep, he frowned and looked down at Taehyung who was still somnolently nibbling on his chest.

Completely dumbstruck, Jungkook couldn't even utter a sound as he speechlessly watched the older his chest vigorously as if he could actually something out of him — which was a complete nonsense since he was a man and furthermore, he would be freaked out if something absurd like that happened.

The youngest of the group was so astounded and stunned that he didn't know how to react so he continued gaping wordlessly at his hyung for the following few seconds before Taehyung dissolved into tears again.

It had been surprisingly comforting and it had soothed Taehyung's senses effectively when he was wrapped in the warmth of Jungkook's embrace, on the maknae's , but he was hungry at the moment so he couldn't help but whine in dissatisfaction and frustration when he couldn't anything out of the younger and hence, slowly but surely, he began crying loudly, his tears spilling and flowing endlessly like a waterfall.

Jungkook blinked a few times before — "Oh." — his sluggish brain finally perceived the clear message the 'Little' had been trying to convey to him through action; His hyung was hungry and he wanted milk.

"I am sorry I didn't realise it earlier, Tae," Jungkook apologised sincerely and hurriedly scrambled up from his lying position, "I'll be back shortly, wait for me, okay?"

However, before he could even climb off the bed, Taehyung grabbed his arm with a loud wail, his chin quivering from how vehemently he was crying. Jungkook's heart clenched painfully at the sight and he instantaneously stooped down to take the weeping male back into his arms and effortlessly lifted him up.

"Sshh... it's okay, it's okay. Everything is fine, sshh..." At this point, Jungkook wasn't sure anymore who he was actually trying to becalm, Taehyung or himself — maybe both — and honestly speaking, he himself was close to a mental breakdown.

Taehyung hid his face in the crook of Jungkook's neck and fortunately, his sobs died down quickly and ceased completely when he put his index finger into his mouth and began on it like a baby — well, at present, he was practically a baby, so...

Jungkook walked towards the kitchen as fast and as steadily as he could with Taehyung scooped up in his arms. When they entered the kitchen, Jungkook intended to set the older down on a chair but the former fussed and only tightened his grip around the younger. That left Jungkook no choice but to do everything single-handed — which wasn't a big challenge, really, he was the almighty 'Golden Maknae' after all.

In no time, a big mug of lukewarm milk was ready and set on the kitchen table. Jungkook took a seat on the wooden chair with Taehyung on his lap and took the mug in his hand.

"Hyung, you can drink now," Jungkook coaxed with an encouraging smile. Taehyung looked at the younger with big glassy eyes that still glistened with the remaining, unshed tears and opened his mouth. Jungkook had expected the other to take the mug but he couldn't help but emit a hearty laugh at his adorable hyung, his hyung was just so cute.

"Alright, I'll feed you, big baby," Jungkook said jokingly with a low chuckle and moved the warm mug closer to Taehyung's parted lips.

While the older of the two sipped on the warm milk eagerly, his gaze was focused on the younger male the whole time, staring at Jungkook with his big puppy eyes as if the younger was the most mesmerising and astonishing thing ever. When the maknae met his starry gaze, Jungkook could swear his heart stopped beating for a moment before it exploded and raced at an incredibly fast speed.

Completely distracted and spellbound, Jungkook didn't notice the milk that was trickling from the corners of Taehyung's mouth down to his chin. With the mug almost half the size of Taehyung's face and still profoundly absorbed in his infantile headspace, Taehyung couldn't drink from the cup normally and without spilling.

Thanks to his quick reflexes and expectedly outstanding agility and astuteness, Jungkook pulled a few tissues out of the box on the table with a single hand movement and put the white napkins under Taehyung's chin in order to prevent the milk from dripping onto his shirt.

Jungkook then had a better idea. He put away the mug and wiped Taehyung's mouth before getting up (while carrying the older vocalist on his front) to get a straw for the older so he could drink the milk with more ease and without spilling it. Taehyung let out a happy, guttural sound before attaching his lips to the straw to drink the milk through the thin tube made of plastic.

By the time he finished drinking up most of the milk, Taehyung could barely keep his eyes open and his head kept on nodding and falling forward.

In the end, Taehyung released the straw from his mouth and let his head fall to the side, onto Jungkook's shoulder, when he couldn't fight the sleep anymore and simply let the sleep take over his body.

Jungkook smiled endearingly at the older and put the mug down on the wooden table.

Then, his body moved on its own as he leant down to press a light kiss on Taehyung's crown. Jungkook's gaze was tender and full of affection when he studied Taehyung's sleeping face with his eyes. It looked as if he was admiring and looking at the most ethereal, most precious thing in the world — which Taehyung actually was, to him, but the almighty 'Golden Maknae' was quite slow-witted and oblivious when it came to such simple and human subject such as love.

Jeon Jungkook, the almighty 'Golden Maknae' might or might not just have fallen deeply in love with his fellow bandmate, Kim Taehyung, the 'Alien who came from the Fourth Dimension'.

"Good night, hyung." With his last greeting — which came out just barely as a soft whisper — for the night, Jungkook scooped him up in his arms once again and, this time, carried Taehyung (who was sleeping peacefully) bridal style to his room.
