This is not a follow up of the previous little chapter.

Yeosang is a little. He does this to help with trauma from being abused and neglected since he was born, the members are unaware of this and struggle to understand what he's doing.

Non sexual age play!
~ when a teen to adult reverted to a child like mentality due to stress, trauma or memory loss.
Sexual age play
~ when a couple use age play to spice up their intimacy, or due to oversensitivity.
(this is not the exact definition but I wanted to show readers the difference.)

After ateez find out, the rest of the 99z and jongho want to try it to.

It all started when they were in the middle of promotions. The stress everyone felt with the constant travel had everyone grumpy and on a short fuse.

It took six days for it to happen. They were practicing their new song inception when all hell broke loose. Over the slightest mistake people were arguing back and forth. The screams got worse as time passed.

Another few days, the group started to fall apart. Wooyoung and San were no longer friends, hongjoong never came home. Seonghwa ran himself to exhaustion by stress cleaning. Mingi and yunho ignored each other, jongho locked himself in his room and Yeosang was on the sidelines conflicted on how to fix this. The stress started to build up as he stopped himself from showing his emotions despite how much the screams and harsh words scared him.

He would stop himself from crying and would stay quiet. He was back to square one. Back to when he would only speak when spoken to, he would only eat if food was given to him and he would only shower after everyone else had.

In his hidden emotions he began the habit of scratching at his arm until it bled. He stopped himself from reverting to his childlike mentality in order to follow the rules he subconsciously set himself after he escaped his parents when he became a trainee.

His facade was breaking. The tension in the Dorm was suffocating. He didn't know what to do anymore. He wanted his members to return to normal as soon as possible but for a few more days the tension grew.

That was the last straw for yeosang all his bundled up emotions and fear forced him into littlespace. He was in his room when it happened everyone else was elsewhere. He looked around not recognising the place. He doesn't remember anything. His age space was that of his five year old self, the stress locking away his memories until he returned to big space when he finally felt safe in his environment. This is the worst he's ever had.

He sat on the floor holding his palm over his mouth on instinct. He didn't know where he was, he was going to be a good boy for whoever lives here. He was scared so much so that his entire body was unconsciously shaking.

He sat there untill his stomach hurt from hunger, even still he stayed sat there until someone lethim eat.

Another hour passed and the door to the bedroom opened. Yeosang tucked himself into the corner of the room. Watching the tall being walk to the other bed.

He watched the man collapse onto the bed and groan.
Yeosang approached the man and watched him. He looked unfamiliar and Yeosang wanted to know if he was the one who saved him. He crawled silent next to the man on the bed when he saw the man open his eyes.

"mister?" Yeosang said with a childish tilt of his head.
The man just groaned and opened his eyes further.
"Yeosang what are you doing in my bed?" the man asked and Yeosang paled.
"s sorry mister!" he said before scrambling off the bed and kneeled down ready to be hit.

"wha-? Why are you calling me mister?" the man asked and Yeosang flinched.
"I was told to call everyone that" Yeosang whimpered and the man's eyes flew open unnoticed to Yeosang.
"who said that?" the man pryed and Yeosang shifted awkwardly.
"papa did" Yeosang said and the man's face dropped.
"what? Yeosang call me seonghwa like you always do" the man said and Yeosang tilted.
"this is the first time I met you mister" Yeosang spoke and seonghwas eyes shot open again.
"what!? No it's not we've known each other for three years now! ." seonghwa said getting upset. Yeosang just lifted his head and tilted it.
"no mister, I don't remember ever meeting you I'm only five" Yeosang said and seonghwas rage was thrown out of the window.
"what! Five!? but you just had your 21st birthday," seonghwa yelled and Yeosang teared up.
"m'not mister I'm really five, please believe me. I don't know where I am and papas going to be so angry and hit me again.!!"yeosang yelled and seonghwa froze.
" hit? D did you just say hit? "seonghwa asked and Yeosang nodded while sobbing heavily.
" my 'addy hits me when he's mad " Yeosang spoke and seonghwas arm slackened making him fall onto the bed.
" why? " seonghwa strained and Yeosang sniffed.
" because I'm bad" Yeosang said and seonghwa sighed heavily he was getting angry for a different reason.
"no your not, you never had been, your daddy is the bad one. He shouldn't hit his child." seonghwa said wiping Yeosangs tears.
"weally?" Yeosang asked and seonghwa gave him a smile.
"of course baby" seonghwa said instinctively.
"so I'm not a bad boy? " Yeosang said pouting and seonghwa shook his head.
"of course not baby" seonghwa said before taking Yeosang into his arms.

Yeosang sobbed for a few more hours before falling asleep in seonghwas arms. Seonghwa stayed up stroking Yeosangs head while cursing Yeosangs father in every possible way he can think of in his head.

He was confused for a few things. He wondered why Yeosang was acting like a child. He was also confused on why he couldn't remember him.

He stayed holding Yeosang who had a tough grip on him all night. Keeping an eye on the state of the boy.

He didn't sleep until very early morning.
Once they woke up, Yeosang was still little. Seonghwa tried everything to understand the situation. After three days of Yeosang like this he went to the Internet and searched up the situation finding out little space.

He assumed Yeosang had trauma due to the abuse and neglect. He bought a few things for him and hid them in their room.

He was still very new to this so he did make some mistakes. He managed to take care of Yeosang in secret.
Around a month later Yeosang was still little, seonghwa was getting very worried. The group was still awfully awkward around each other and seonghwa assumed that's why Yeosang was still like this.

So after a few more days. Seonghwa was done with everything and yelled at everyone. Although he had to calm down Yeosang. Everyone finally realised what they had done wrong and apologised to one another.

This was also the time they had found out about Yeosangs littlespace.
They each helped him return to big space and he apologised for the hassle and told them about his past.
He trusted them enough.

Soon enough the rest of the 99z and jongho wanted to try this as well so hongjoong and seonghwa truly became parents.

Sorry about this ending, it would have gone one forever if I didn't end it and I didn't want to force you guys to wait longer than you already have I apologise for that too.
