Chapter Text
It’s the start of a new semester in their university and yet Jungkook is still sleeping, wrapped in his fluffy futon, whilst sucking on his baby blue pacifier.
Yes, Jungkook is a little but no one but him knows that- not even his closest of friends. He came across the idea of regressing online when he moved to Seoul for the first time. Everything was just new to him and he just entered university which stressed him out a lot at first because of the changed environment and workload he wasn’t expecting when he enrolled. Since then, he found himself regressing at night or every time he finds the comfort of his own room which was most often than not.
“Jeon Jungkook! Get up or you’ll be late for class!” Someone shouted from the outside which only resulted Jungkook to whine and hide under his futon but to his dismay the person started banging their fist on his door.
“Jeon Jungkook! I swear to all that is good, I’m going to drop kick your door if you don’t open up now!”
Jungkook’s lips wobbled. He just wanted to sleep more. Is that too much to ask?
“Move your lazy ass now or else!” The voice was getting annoyed by the second and Jungkook whimpered.
No, He wasn’t lazy.
He’s the best boy ever.
You see, big jungkook always does his best as to why he became one of the top students in their university and little Koo is not an exception, in fact, little Koo wants to be the very best boy and his determination to be the best is ten times more than big Jungkook.
He doesn’t want to disappoint the person from outside any further so he unwrapped himself from his futon and hid his blue pacifier.
“K-Koo’s not lazy, right?” He hugged his stuffed bunny named Cooky before hiding him underneath his bed together with his other little stuff.
He stayed on this bed for a few minutes, closing his eyes shut, before sighing.
“I’m up, hyung.”
“You better be!”
Jungkook looked back at his bed to check if he hid everything before opening the door for Jimin.
“Took you long enough. Now go and wash yourself while I make our breakfast.” Without saying another word, the said hyung stepped inside and invited himself to the younger's kitchen.
“Don’t you have your own kitchen in your own dorm?” Jungkook replied, emphasizing the word own.
“Where’s the fun in that?” His friend snickered.
Jimin and Jungkook had been friends since highschool in Busan and Jimin was the reason why they moved to Seoul in order to pursue their dreams and that is to become well known performers.
Despite knowing Jimin for years, he can’t bring himself to tell the elder that he was a little. He was anxious that Jimin would not accept him and treat him differently once he knew plus he knows the latter has a lot on his plate already so he can’t bear to make Jimin take care of him.
Several minutes later, Jungkook came out of the shower wearing his uniform and went to the kitchen which was not really far considering he is living in a dorm fit for only 2 people.
“Let me see your schedule.” The younger grabbed his phone and showed it to Jimin who was busily munching on the pancakes he made for the two of them.
“Great! We both have dance 2 and as far as I know Hoseok hyung is in the same class too.” Despite Jimin being a senior and Jungkook being a junior, both of them chose to take the same electives at the same time with some of their friends as well.
There wasn’t anything special for Jungkook’s first day except for the fact that he has one class with a well known terror professor which isn’t really special because all he wanted to do was to be swallowed by the floor and never appear in Mrs.
Lee’s class.
“Jungkook-ah, over here!” A voice that’s all too familiar beckoned him. He turned around and saw Yoongi with a stranger by his side.
His brows furrowed at the stranger. He was too good looking for his liking and there’s this aura about him that Jungkook can’t seem to explain.
The stranger’s eyes flickered at his direction and he stood frozen on his spot.
Yup, definitely too good looking for his liking.
“Uh hey?” With wobbly legs, he jogged his way to the two which he regrets as soon as he got a closer look of the stranger.
He was definitely a catch in Jungkook’s book. The boy stood a bit taller than the younger, he has blue hair that compliments his honey skin and not to mention broad shoulders that’s all too tempting.
“This is Taehyung, Kook. He’s the son of a family friend back in Daegu and he just transferred here.” Yoongi explained and Jungkook noticed the luggage on his side before getting blocked by an outstretched hand.
“Pleased to meet you, Kook.”
“It’s Jungkook to you.”
The two exchanged glances at the younger’s cold tone which the latter took notice. He doesn’t even know why he’s acting bratty all of the sudden. Maybe it was because a complete stranger calling him by his nicknameㅡ wait, he never cared about that though so why?
He gathered himself and looked at the stranger, “I mean uh w-whatever call me whatever you like. I need to go.” and with that he waved them off and went to the other side of the building.
Taehyung on the other hand was not an exception to the younger’s beauty. Yoongi had been telling him stories about the friends he met here in the university and Jungkook was the first one he’d seen up close, by that, meaning he was able to see how the brunette’s eyes shined like it holds the whole galaxy in it, his button nose, and his too pinkish lip. He also took note of the small scar on the younger’s face.
Yup, definitely whipped.
Ignoring the stranger was as hard as not breathing in Jungkook’s opinion. Yoongi decided to introduce Taehyung to their friends which ended up with him sitting at their lunch table.
“So, you’re an art student?” Seokjin questioned while munching on his sandwich.
“Yeah. Yoongi hyung told me that this university was the best school for arts and I decided to move to Seoul to try it out. I can’t believe I got accepted tho since a lot of people said only the best can get admitted.”
“Well, that only means that you’re one of the best, Taehyung-ah!” Namjoon, one of the music prodigy in the university assured him with a smile.
All Jungkook could do was sulk at a corner. Why was this Taehyung close with them already? It’s like they’ve known each other for so long.
No, he wasn’t frustrated that someone is getting his hyung’s attention.
Heck. He doesn’t even know why his getting all sulky.
“I need to go back to the dorm.” He grumbled next to Jimin owning him a baffled look.
“It’s too early, Kook! Don’t you miss us?” The older whined which didn’t do much as Jungkook shrugged him off.
He was about to go when Yoongi called his name and to his surprise gestured Taehyung to stand up as well, “Since you’re going back already can you take Taehyung with you? I still have afternoon classes and he doesn’t, so I won’t be able to accompany him.”
To say Jungkook was frustrated was an understatement. His mood was all around the place and he doesn’t even know whyㅡ
maybe because he was out of his headspace early in the morning?
maybe because Ms. Lee is his professor and he can’t do anything until the semester is over?
or maybeㅡ
His train of thoughts was cut off by a hand waving in front of his face. “Are you listening?”
“Yeah. Whatever. Follow me.”
The boys all exchanged looks, all confused and worried at how the youngest was acting. They’ve known him for years and the boy was still a closed door to them and it worries them because he works too hard sometimes, puts too much on his plate and says nothing.
Jungkook went ahead, not bothering to look back if the elder followed him until he heard Taehyung clear his throat and say, “Sorry you need to go with me. I guess I can just go to the reception and ask where my room is.”
The younger felt a small pang of guilt. He didn’t mean to come off rude, it’s just that his mood isn’t cooperating at the moment.
“N-no. It’s okay. Sorry for acting rude and we’re practically going to the same building so it’s fine.”
“Thanks, Jungkook.” He then took out a piece of paper from his back pocket and checked his designated room number. Despite being too excited to explore around the school, he was too tired going from Daegu to Seoul and he needs to unpack as well. He just hopes his new roommate is okay having him.
Jungkook turned left to where the other rooms are located and he noticed how the younger seemed tensed. He can’t help but feel that his arrival made the younger uncomfortable since he was a all smiles when Yoongi called him earlier.
He also can’t help remembering the younger’s doe eyes when he smiled and jogged towards them. He looked so adorable and pure that Taehyung just wants to shower him with love and praises and to say that he isn’t whipped for the boy is a lie.
Taehyung shook his head and turned back to looking at the dorm numbers. “Oh here it is!” He smiled, oblivious to the fact that the younger stood frozen by his side.
“Thanks for accompanying me, Jung-“ but before he could finish off, Jungkook shook his head and muttered something.
“What did you say? I didn’t hear you.”
“No. This can’t be. Go back to the main office. Your room is wrong.” Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows at what the other was talking about.
“What do you mean? This is my room, see?” He gave Jungkook the paper which states Room 19.
Jungkook glared at the paper in front of him. “No. This can’t be your room. Ask them to change it. I won’t accept this.”
On the other hand, Taehyung was getting frustrated and confused, all he wanted was to rest and be at peace but Jungkook isn’t making any sense right now and is blocking him from his own room.
Before he could even reply, the younger shoved him to the side, pulled out a key and entered his supposed to be room.
But wait,
Jungkook has a key and entered his room.
Jungkook was his roommate!?
A few moments had passed and Taehyung realized that he got locked out of his own dorm room. He started banging his fist on the door, not caring if others would hear since all the rooms were soundproof.
“Jungkook, open the door! You can’t lock me out of my own dorm room!”
“Fuck off!”
