008

Jiminie was tired of playing alone.

He had woken up in his apartment finding that he had paid the electric bills when he wasn't in little space so he went to the couch and watched cartoons with his blanket. Of course he ended up taking a nap again but when he woke up he realized how bored he was.

He knew that Jungkook and Taehyung would be thrilled to see him like they were the other day but he couldn't bring himself to go and visit them. There were moments that he felt insecure and scared as a little, and right now was one of those moments.

He hadn't eaten all day yet and he felt scared to get up and walk to the kitchen. He knew he had food there to eat Jimin always bought food for him to eat even though he often avoided it except for when he was in little space.

Finally after his stomach growling for the countless time that day Jiminie decided to get up and start walking to the kitchen as he dragged his blanket with him. He opened his fridge his eyes widening as he saw an unfamiliar container. He quickly grabbed it and went back to the living room his eyes glancing around hoping that no one would come and yell at him for breaking the rule of not eating in the living room.

He opened the container finding a chocolate cake in there gasping at it. Jiminie was never allowed to have chocolate cake, Jimin never bought it and Taehyung and Jungkook gave him chocolate in small doses. 

Self control he needed to understand that he wasn't allowed to eat an entire chocolate cake.

Except no one was here to scold him for just having a taste of it, right? Besides Jimin should have not left a chocolate cake in the fridge it he wasn't allowed to eat it?

So he scooped a piece of the cake in his hands smiling as he ate it.

-----------------

Hours later Jiminie was bouncing off the walls while an empty container was all that was left of the chocolate cake. He hadn't mean to eat all of it but how was he supposed to stop after just having one bite? He hadn't ate anything that delicious when he was in big space since before high school and the taste was even more tempting since he was in little space.

He was sure that he had made enough sound that his neighbors were going to make complaints but why would that bother him now? He was hyper and wanted to run around his apartment simply sitting down and coloring wasn't on his mind at all.

He came to a halt as he heard his phone start ringing and walked towards it. He stared at the letters trying his best to decipher what they were and cheered once realizing the caller was Min Yoongi. Jiminie didn't  recognize the name so he knew he wasn't allowed to talk to that person and it began to dampen his mood.

He hadn't talked to anyone all day, what would be the harm in answering the phone? What if this was a super important call he would be angry at himself for ignoring since he was in little space? Jiminie could feel himself smiling as he grabbed onto the phone.

"I just need to pwetend to be big." He whispered to himself listening to the phone still ringing. "As wong as I pwetend to be big it'll be fwine!"

He quickly clicked accept and brought the phone to his ear.

"Hello, Jimin?"

"Hi Yoongi!"

"Jimin?" The voice on the other end seemed apprehensive as to how Jiminie responded and the little couldn't help but feel confused. What had he said that was different than how he normally would respond? All he did was simply say hi back! He took a quick breath calling himself down trying to pretend to act big once again. "Is that you?"

"Yep, that's me!"

"Are you drunk right now?"

"No! I haven't been a bad boy and dwank at all this week!" Jiminies face seemed to fall as he heard silence on the other end of the line and he thought through what he had said. He always had a rough time pronouncing r's had the Yoongi guy caught on to that? "Ah Jiminie didn't mean dwank he meant d-drank!"

"Jiminie? What are you doing right now, sweetie?"

The panic that was racing in the little seemed to instantly vanish as he heard how sweet the other person sounded and he couldn't help but feel at ease listening to  it.

"I was pwaying!" The little said energetically as he looked around seeing all of his toys he had managed to toss around in the past hour. "I wanted to pway tag but no one else was here to pway with me."

"Do you live by yourself Jiminie?"

"Yeah, but I have neighbors who come and pway with me!"

"Don't you get lonely having to live by yourself? Wouldn't you prefer living somewhere else with someone who would play with you anytime you wanted?"

Before the little could respond he heard someone open the door to his apartment and he glanced seeing his neighbors.

"Taetae! Kookie!" He yelled as he dropped the phone rushing to be picked up by Taehyung. The younger seemed to sigh as he glanced around noticing the mess around Jimin's apartment. "I missed you so so so much!"

Jungkook walked into the apartment and began grabbing stuff to pick up, knowing his boyfriend would ask him to do so while he looked after Jimine. He frowned as he found Jimin's phone on the floor but shrugged it off seeing that it was just on his lockscreen leaving him and Taehyung to be oblivious to how Yoongi had hung up the call seconds before.

So I had like 10 prewritten chapters of this story before I even published it but in that plot Jimin wasn't even a little. So I decided to change my first chapter last second to make Jimin a little so now all my prewritten chapters don't go with the plot lmao

also this is unedited, as always.
