Summary
That bag was Seungmin’s travelling little bag. The older one had a tendency to regress to a little when he was overwhelmed. It’s how he processed things or dealt with them. Usually it was Chan who took care of him when he regressed. Sometimes Minho or Changbin as well. Probably Felix as well since they lived together. Never was it Jeongin he went to. Not once since he started to regress.
“I- Innie. I… I’m slipping.” Seungmin confessed, now holding the bag out as proof.
“And? We’ll be fine.”
“Innie, I can’t have you taking care of me. I’m the older one, I’m supposed to take care of you.”
“And to do that I need company okay? I’m lonely tonight and I want a buddy. Can’t that work?” Jeongin argued.
Seungmin seemed to assess the situation before caving, “Fine. I’ll try and stay lucid.”

Summary
Knock Knock
"Minnie, baby, are you still in there?" Jeongin's voice is soft as it seeps through the door.
Seungmin lies silently. He can't let Jeongin see the mess. He's supposed to be able to be relied on. Jeongin is younger than him. Seungmin should seem like an unmovable pillar in case the younger needs a steady force in these hectic months. He feels tears prickling at the corner of his eyes. He failed. He failed at being reliable, at being good. He made a mess.
"Did you go to sleep, baby?"
He could pretend he fell asleep. That would be easy. He just needs to stay silent. Pretend that everything is okay. Pretend that he didn't make a mess. Pretend that he isn't a failure. Pretend that his head isn't throbbing. Pretend that there aren't tears starting to stream out his eyes. Pretend that it isn't him who lets out a stuttered sob.

Summary
"How's our Minnie doing?" Chan asks him as a make up artist touches up his blush.
Seungmin shrugs. He can't even risk speaking. What if his baby talk comes out? That would be the most obvious thing. That's how the other members usually tell when he is slipping. Though Chan merely raises an eyebrow, prompting more of an answer.
"Sl-sleepy," Seungmin manages to mumble out. Tired probably would have been a more grown up word to use, but hopefully he doesn't catch on to this.

Summary
He feels utterly useless.
The first tear slips free without permission and he brushes it away with the plushie. Everything feels too big, too daunting. The others are nowhere near him and all he wants is to have them back.
