Jimin had expected to feel uncomfortable walking back into Yoongi's apartment but more than anything he just felt a bit foreign. He could recall certain memories from staring at things but nothing prominently stood out that much.

To be fair he hadn't even lived a full week there and hadn't even dated Hoseok and Yoongi for that long. Everything just seemed so surreal the past couple months, so many things had happened and reflecting on it was insane.

He had gone from just having two friends to six, and two of them even agreed to be in a relationship with him. Granted a lot more had happened than just gaining those friends but he was trying to focus on the positives now, he could go back and think of everything else at the courtroom tomorrow.

"Jimin, what movie do you want to watch?"

Jimin let his eyes glance at the pile of movies on the floor that Taehyung was referring to. They had been trying to decide on a movie for almost ten minutes and it was evident Namjoon and Yoongi weren't going to compromise. 

For the past month Jimin had spent practically all of his time watching movies at Jin and Namjoon's apartment. He actually was a bit bored of having to watch another movie but the atmosphere in the room felt so cozy and nice he didn't want to reject it. 

"Finding Nemo," he replied thinking of the first time he had visited this apartment. "Let's watch that."

Jimin seemed to be the only one who noticed how Jeongguk intensely stared at the disc nodding his head in agreement. He could see how giddy the younger was acting, knowing that he was on the verge of slipping.

It was fascinating seeing someone else on the verge of slipping into little space. Jimin had never even known any other littles and couldn't help but feel curious about Jeongguk. Nobody had ever really thought about the aspect of Jeongguk being a little, Taehyung had even told him that he was surprised too.

He was sure that if the situation wasn't different he would immediately slip into little space and be excited to play with another little. But he wasn't and he was trying to cope with that. At the hospital when he first saw the younger he felt uncomfortable with anything related to little space but now he just was intrigued.

Taehyung quickly put the movie in and everyone made their way on the couch. Jimin was stuck in the middle but it was evident everyone was going out of there way to give him space, which was something he had specifically asked for earlier. He would work on physical contact again soon but right now he was taking one thing at a time and space made him feel more comfortable. 

He also was extremely grateful for the snacks everyone had made for this movie, just plain popcorn. It was something extremely low in calories so Jimin didn't even subconsciously worry about it whenever he'd grab a handful to eat but the lack of flavor was still disappointing. He really wanted to work on eating more calories in a day so he could eat unhealthy snacks.

"Nemo lost his daddy!" Everyone immediately directed their focus away from the movie to find that Jeongguk was crying. Jimin couldn't help but slightly smile seeing how Taehyung immediately went over to grab onto the younger trying to calm him down. "Never gonna see d-daddy again!"

"Kookie, Nemo's dad is gonna find him again! He goes across the entire ocean just to look for him. Don't waste your tears right now, everything's gonna turn out okay."

Jeongguk immediately crawled onto the older's lap causing him to smile. Recently the couple hadn't been able to watch movies or just relax together, they had been trying to conserve energy in their apartment to lessen their utility bill. They both were feeling tense with everything, from trying to find a new job while still being able to sustain an enjoyable standard of living. A couple of days before they had gotten into a small argument about making Taehyung see a therapist due to all the nightmares he was getting recently. It was always the same thing, Jeongguk waking up in the middle of the night to find Taehyung beside him screaming in his sleep about seeing Jimin in that suitcase.
