Song of the Day: Hug - Seventeen
Notes: i wrote this last year and decided to share it now.
please don't steal, re-edit or repost my work!
it was a regular chaotic day in the seventeen dorms. junhui and seungcheol have been in and out of headspace. both regressing to ages of two and three.
on the other hand, chan hasn't regressed at all.
in the kichen, jeonghan was making oatmeal for the two littles.
"chan, can you put both boys in their highchairs?" jeonghan asked, cutting up strawberries.
"sure hyung" chan replied, carefully picking up junhui who was trying to eat a lego brick.
wonwoo was freshly out of the shower.
"no, junhui. that's not food!" wonwoo scolded, taking the lego piece out of junhui's mouth.
he pinched junhui's cheek. chan made sure junhui was alright before making his way to seungcheol.
"hey cheol, time for breakfast!" chan told the seventeen leader, picking him up.
"ah wow. the maknae is so independent and helping his oldest hyung." sooyoung pointed out as he entered the dorm with bags from the grocery store.
"he is" jeonghan replied.
it was now late afternoon and the two littles were playing with blocks. jeonghan and wonwoo praising them for buliding tall towers. sooyoung helped them push the tower down and rebulid it again. junhui and seungcheol were having a blast.
chan was in his room, watching a horror movie.
he kept jumping at the scary scenes and couldn't handle finishing it. he felt small, around four years old.
he waddled out his room and went straight to the living room.
"hey little chan, glad to see you." sooyoung exclaimed.
chan waved, taking a seat on the fuzzy carpet.
as dinner time rolled around, junhui and seungcheol were back in their highchairs. chan was in a regular chair at the dining table. wonwoo set chan's plate down, white rice, broccoli and cut up steak.
jeonghan set junhui's and seungcheol's plates down: spaghetti, yogurt, and fruit snacks.
the caregivers helped the younger boys eat their meal.
"here comes the train, junhui. open please." wonwoo spoke while sooyoung tried to mimic a train.
chan was struggling to eat his meal. his mind entering a younger headspace. he left the table and none of the caregivers took notice. he walked to his room and shut the door.
"why doesn't anyone pay attention to me" chan wondered.
he started crying and once again no one took notice.
except vernon, who was passing by chan's room.
"hi little chan, what's wrong?" vernon asked, wiping the maknae's tears.
"hyungs, no attention." chan simply replied between hiccups.
"wait here, baby otter" vernon responded, walking out to the kitchen.
"guys, why are you neglecting chan? he's a little too!" vernon questioned, raising his voice slightly.
"what? no, he's fine. he can do things himself." soonyoung answered, keeping calm.
"based on his plate and the pieces of food on floor, he can't!" vernon mentioned, pointing at chan's plate.
"he is okay, vernon. you're overthinking" jeonghan spoke up, his focus on seungcheol.
"no, he's not. go apologize all of you now." vernon stated.
wonwoo, sooyoung and jeonghan nervously went to chan's room. chan told them everything that he was feeling.
"oh chan, we are very sorry for making you feel that way. how about we watch dinosaur train and cuddle?" wonwoo apologized.
chan accepted their apology and spent the rest of the evening with his three caregivers.
