Chapter Text
A loud groan echoed through the dimly lit studio, dark except for the few monitors providing a glaring light. Red, strained and dried eyes stare at the screens hopelessly. Yoongi slowly closed his eyes, tearing forming from the burning sensation, another groan escaped his chapped lips. He couldn’t solve the problem he was faced with no matter how hard he tried or sat there staring.
‘Why can’t I figure this out?’ his mind screamed at him.
The answer was right there in front of him, he could feel it on the tip of his tongue. His head started to pound a hard, steady rhythm against his skull. He lets out a third groan which slowly turned into a small whimper, a tiny cry for help threatened to climb its way up his throat. Yoongi could feel his skin start to crawl from the amount of stress that has been building up, the need to let go, and cry became overwhelming. The rapper quickly snapped his eyes open. He couldn’t.
At least not here.
After a few minutes of contemplating, he finally got out of his chair and out of the studio, the first time in three days. He knew where the other members are, they were all in the practice room, learning the new dance routine for their next comeback. Yoongi opted out in favour of finishing the song, however that didn’t work out as he planned. The tiny rapper quickly made his way down the halls of the big hit building, glancing at the floor as he walked, eyes hidden behind white hair. Once he reached the door, he slowly opened it with trembling hands. The music stopped five minutes after he walked in and Namjoon finally noticed him standing by the door, arms wrapped around his too thin body looking like a scared kitten.
“Yoongi-hyung?” At that everyone else noticed the shorter male, all of them looking at him with concern and question in their eyes. Jin understood what the younger wanted first. He slowly approached him until he was close enough to slightly crouch down to meet the other at eye level. A gentle hand slowly reached up and softly caressed the surprisingly soft white hair and with a soothing voice he said, “baby?”
Yoongi was nervously wringing the hem of his shirt and when he heard Jin’s comforting voice, instantly he felt a switch flip. A choked sob came struggling out his throat, and he finally let himself slip and cry out all his tears and frustrations. Everyone in the practice room felt their hearts break at the sight and sound. The small rapper weakly lifted his arms reaching for Jin with grabby hands which the vocalist immediately responded to. Jin carefully picked up the too light little and hugged him close to his body as Yoongi’s little frame shook with sobs.
“Shh, it’s okay kitten, daddy, papa, and everyone else is here. It’s okay sweetheart.” Jin bounced and rocked the other in his arms while he offered comforting words. Namjoon joined the two and stroked the little’s hair while murmuring sweet words to his baby boy.
While Yoongi started to calm down a little, the rest of the members set off to tidy and pack up their dance studio. Everyone scurried around and got cleaned up and ready to go as fast as possible. When everyone was ready to go, they made their way out of their stuffy practice room, the maknae line bouncing in excitement thinking how they will spend their time with little Yoongi. Apparently, they got a little too loud for the little and either caregiver’s liking.
“Yah boys, you’re going to wake him up,” Jin scolded quietly but nonetheless firm with a glare in his eyes.
The 3 youngest quickly snapped their mouths shuts immediately upon seeing Jin’s scowl and quickly gave each other accusing and dirty looks as if to say, ‘you should’ve been quieter!’. All the while Hoseok walked behind the group trying very hard to stifle his own laughter, when he remembered something, “Hyung! I’m gonna go grab his bag from his studio, I know he’ll want it when he wakes up.” The rapper offered a sunshine smile and quickly ran down the halls to the other’s studio.
Once Hoseok found his way into soundproof room, he spots the duffel bag on the couch and bounced over to grab it. Unzipping it he quickly checked if the contents were all there, just in case. Inside the bag was a light brown, fluffy, worn and obviously loved teddy bear. There were also two pacifiers each with different kumamon designs on it, a sippy cup and a small fleece blankie patterned with cute cats. He smiled fondly at the items and lifted the bag and chased after the other members.
The car ride home was relaxing and quiet with only the sound of their little’s soft snores filling up the space. Once they got home, Namjoon carefully lifted the boy out of the car and took him to his and Jin’s room.
He set him down on the bed and began to change him out of the clothes he’s been wearing for the past couple of days. He grabbed a cotton candy blue oversized sweater with white clouds on the front from the closet and comfortable shorts and laid them beside the sleeping figure on the bed. As careful and gently as he tried, the other started to stir from all the maneuvering. A small whine and whimper emitted from the other’s dry lips.
“I know sweetheart, but papa has to change your clothes first so my baby can sleep cozy and comfy okay?” Namjoon cooed at the other.
Yoongi let out another whine and shook his head, he was so tired he wanted to sleep and cuddle with his teddy. At that thought the little opened his eyes a little and slowly turned his head from side to side looking for his fluffy companion. Tears quickly welled up in his eyes as he realized that Bear wasn’t with him. Namjoon noticed this and quickly went to slip his shorts on and picked him up to comfort him.
“Hey baby boy, look it’s all done, my little kitten is all warm and snuggly. You can go back to sleep now baby.”
The little wasn’t happy and definitely did not want to go back to sleep without his friend beside him. He whined louder and started to fuss and twist in his papa’s arms. Namjoon’s concern grew as he didn’t know why his baby was fussing.
“Hyung?”
Namjoon looked up and saw the maknae line peaking through the semi closed door. Yoongi began to softly cry and made grabby hands for something.
“Is everything okay hyung? Why is our prince so unhappy?” Taehyung softly asked and cooed at the little as he approached the little. Yoongi quieted his cries when he heard Taehyung’s calming deep voice.
Jungkook and Jimin didn’t want to be beaten by the other and quickly ran inside and knelt beside Namjoon and Yoongi. Namjoon couldn’t help but quietly chuckle at the boys’ antics while Yoongi began to whine louder and continued making grabby hands for something.
“Hey kitten, what do you want? Tell Kookie, I’ll find it for you little one.” The maknae softly told the other. He flashed a cheeky grin at the other two when the Yoongi’s cries turned into sniffles and slowly looked at him with tearful eyes.
“B-bear, want Bear Kookie.”
Hearing this Jimin immediately stood up and ran out the room, he ran through the living room and almost crashed into Hoseok who jumped up and dropped the bag he was holding. Holding his heart he scolds the other, “Yah! Park Jimin what is the hurry?”
“Sorry hyung! But do you have Yoongi’s stuff? He really wants Bear right now.” He quickly said.
“Oh yeah it’s in the bag that’s on the floor because someone nearly gave me a heart attack.” Hoseok gave a pointed look at the other.
Jimin gave a sheepish smile and reach down to unzip and grab what he needed. He made his way back to the room with a triumphant grin. When he walked into the room, Yoongi’s eyes darted straight to his hands and reached out with doe eyes.
“Here you go my little boo, Jiminie’s here to save the day huh?” He passed over the teddy and for extra bragging rights for later he gently pops a pacifier between the other’s lips. Yoongi’s eyes start to close as he let out a sigh of relief and his whole body relaxes quickly into a deep sleep. As Namjoon carefully tucks him in, he rolled his eyes when he saw that Taehyung and Jungkook were glaring at Jimin who was wearing the most obnoxious grin.
“Alright boys take it outside,” Namjoon whispers.
The 3 band members walked out into the living room where Jin was washing dishes and Hoseok was lounging on the couch.
“He’s asleep Joon?” Jin asked from the sink.
“Yeah, he fussed a little but we got him down, god knows he needs the rest,” Namjoon huffed and groaned as he laid down on the other couch in a heap.
“It was resolved because I got what he wanted,” Jimin said smugly.
“You only knew what to do after I got him to tell me because he trusts me.” Jungkook retorted.
“Hey! I calmed him down enough for him to even acknowledge you.” Taehyung piped in.
The boys started to bicker, albeit quickly, at each other. The hyung line watched fondly with a roll of their eyes. Meanwhile their little kitten was tucked in warm and happy cuddling with Bear, relaxed for the first time in months and that’s enough to make all their hearts swell.
