Soobin was a shy little. And by shy little, I mean Soobin hated meeting new people in his headspace. Whenever someone he hadn't met yet in littlespace tries talking to him or he just sees someone new looking at him, he runs and hides.

This was partially a bad thing like now, where TXT had to go film a couple interviews but since Soobin woke up in his headspace he couldn't go with them. Fortunately, they were able to call someone who could take Soobin for the day.

"Baby, you have to go. We can't take you with us" Taehyun explained to a sad Soobin.

"I nuh wan' to. They be mean to Binnie?" Soobin replied with a sniffle.

"They won't, trust me. I was even told they have their own little so they know what it's like" Taehyun assured, "You'll be in good hands, Binnie."

Just then, Yeonjun walked into the living room with a backpack filled with Soobin's little stuff which consisted of his dummy, colouring book and pencil case, sippy cup and bottle if he slipped to babyspace, his favourite blanket, some pajamas and some of his favourite snacks.

"Hey, Binnie. You ready to go?" Yeonjun crouched in front of Soobin who sat on the couch.

"Scawed. Wan' go wif hyungies" he let a stray tear fall.

"Oh, baby" Yeonjun cooed as he wiped away the tear, "I'm sure TaeTae already said this but you'll be perfectly fine. Everyone in ATEEZ are really nice."

"Do I haf to?" he clutched his bunny plushie, Flops close.

"You have to" Beomgyu chimed in when him and Huening Kai walked in.

"We'd love to take you but they don't know about your headspace so it might be dangerous" Huening Kai added.

After a bit back and forth between Soobin and his caregivers, they finally got him off the couch and walked to the front of the dorm. Huening Kai helped him get ready and made sure he had everything before they left the dorm and got in the van heading to ATEEZ's dorm.

While in the van, Yeonjun reached into the bag and pulled out one of little Binnie's favourite littlespace items, his dummy. Soobin nervously sucked on the dummy and held a firm grip on Flops the whole way there. When they arrived, Yeonjun and Huening Kai got out and helped Soobin out. Huening Kai picked up Soobin onto his hip before they made their way to where ATEEZ was.

The trio were now standing in front of the door and Yeonjun knocked a couple times to let them know they were there. The door opened and Hongjoong was standing on the other side.

"Hi, guys. Is this the cute Binnie I was told we'd be taking care of?" Hongjoong turned to Soobin who turned his head away and laid it on Huening Kai's shoulder, whimpering.

"He's really shy and scared. Binnie doesn't like meeting new people" Yeonjun explained while Huening Kai lightly bounced Binnie.

"It's okay, Binnie. You don't have to be scared of us. We won't hurt you and we even have our own little that wants to meet you" Hongjoong tried again but Soobin didn't budge.

Huening Kai put Soobin down who hid behind his two caregivers and he explained they'd have to go now. Yeonjun and Huening Kai gave Soobin each a hug before saying goodbye and leaving him with Hongjoong.

Hongjoong led Soobin inside the dorm and took his bag so he wouldn't have to carry it. He tried leading Soobin to the living room to meet the others but he turned around, sat down on his bum and stared at the door while holding Flops close to his chest. Hongjoong went to look through Soobin's little stuff and Seonghwa went over to greet Soobin.

"Hello. Are you Binnie?" he sat beside him.

Soobin scooched a little bit away from Seonghwa and nodded as his eyes kept on the door, expecting Yeonjun, Huening Kai, Beomgyu or Taehyun to walk through it any second.

"It's nice to meet you, Binnie" Seonghwa smiled, "I'm Seonghwa. Does your plushie have a name?" he pointed to the bunny.

"Fwops" Soobin muttered behind his dummy, still not looking at Seonghwa.

"That's a very cute name. It's nice to meet you too, Flops" he waved to the plushie, "Do you wanna come away from the entrance and see the others?"

"Nuh. Wan' Junnie" Soobin whined, tearing up.

"I know you do, but they're busy. That's why you're here, with us."

Seonghwa offered a few more things but Soobin stayed put on his spot on the floor. Hongjoong came over with Soobin's colouring book and said he could colour at the dining table but Soobin just grabbed it and started colouring on the floor.

Seonghwa and Hongjoong sighed, knowing Soobin wouldn't move from his spot any time soon so they left him to colour. A few minutes later, Soobin heard loud noises and turned to see the other little running right towards him. He got scared and pushed himself to the door, curling into a ball and start crying.

"Why cwying?" Yeosang, the other little asked Wooyoung who was running after him.

"I think you scared him, Sangie. Why don't you go apologize and introduce yourself. Binnie's nervous and maybe meeting another little could help" Wooyoung gestured to Soobin who looked so tiny.

"I sowwy, nuh mean to scawe chu. I Sangie an' dis Nana. I wove hew so, so, so much" he held out a small dog plushie.

Soobin looked up at the other little and gave small wave before looking away again.

"Binnie nuh tawk. He otay?" Yeosang looked up at Wooyoung.

"I think he may be tired. It's naptime for you two cuties anyways" Mingi spoke up for Wooyoung.

"C'mon Binnie. It's naptime and you can sleep in one of our beds" Wooyoung spoke.

Not wanting them to tell his caregivers and get him in trouble for refusing to nap, Soobin sadly nodded and grabbed Flops before following Wooyoung towards the rooms. Wooyoung helped change Soobin into his pajamas and laid him down on the bed. He covered Soobin with his blanket and wished him a good nap before leaving.

Soobin laid on the bed wide awake for one reason. He had just realized he forgot to bring his dummy with him. Silent tears fell down Soobin's face and he ended up crying himself to sleep while sucking on his thumb as a replacement.

~ One hour later ~

Soobin woke up from his nap smelling one of his favourite littlespace foods from outside the bedroom door. Dino nuggets. He sat up and was about to call out for Yeonjun but realized where he was and where the other TXT members were.

The smile on his face faded and he grabbed Flops before getting out of the bed and leaving the room. When he got to the main area, Jongho was the first to notice him and called out that the group made him lunch but Soobin walked right to the entrance and sat back down in his previous spot.

"In case you didn't here me" Jongho spoke up from now beside him, "While you slept, we made some dino nuggets for lunch. You must be hungry, Binnie."

Soobin stood up and followed Jongho to the dining table where his sippy cup sat filled with one of his favourite drinks, apple juice. He sat down and soon a plate with dino nuggets and ketchup was placed in front of him. Yunho, who gave him the food sat in the free chair beside him and offered to feed him. Soobin shook his head in refusal.

Even though he loved it, Soobin kept his head down and slowly ate each nugget. He could hear Yeosang from in front of him being fed by San and got jealous. His caregivers always fed him nuggets and he felt weird doing it himself.

After Soobin finished both the nuggets and juice, he waited until they took his plate and gave a quiet 'Tank chu' before going back to the same spot. Before he went back though, Soobin went back to the room he napped in and saw his crumpled up blanket on the mattress. Soobin picked it up and contemplated changing back but he felt too uncomfortable asking so he stayed in his pajamas.

"Hey, Binnie. Sangie's finger painting in his playroom and is wondering if you wanna join him" Mingi suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Nuh wan' to" Soobin replied and continued walking.

"I'll be with him, then. You can always come join if you want, Binnie" Mingi said before going to Yeosang's playroom.

Soobin looked back before going to the entrance. He got there and saw his bag full of little stuff and his dummy in a small clear container beside it to keep it clean. Soobin spread out the blanket on the floor and opened the container, popping the dummy into his mouth. He found the colouring book and pencil case back in the bag and took it out, flipping to the page he was in the middle of doing.

He finished a couple more before feeling hungry. Knowing his favourite snacks were packed in the bag, he went through it and found a package of sliced strawberries. Soobin pulled it out, took out his dummy and munched on some of the strawberries. He was in the middle of colouring a field of flowers when the doorbell rang. Soobin got curious and looked through the hole to see Yeonjun and Huening Kai. He heard footsteps from behind and before they got close enough, Soobin ripped open the door and jumped into Yeonjun's arms.

"Hi, baby" Yeonjun chuckled, "We're done now so we can go home."

"Miss chu" Soobin held out a hand to Huening Kai who grabbed it with a squeeze.

"We missed you too, Binnie. Did you have a good time?" Huening Kai smiled at the little Yeonjun was carrying.

Before Soobin could respond, San and Wooyoung appeared in the doorway with a paint-covered Yeosang behind them.

"Binnie didn't cause much trouble. He did stay here for the whole time though and didn't really interact with us" San explained to Yeonjun and Huening Kai.

"Binnie" Yeonjun started, "Why didn't you interact with them? We know you were scared but they were trying to help out by taking care of you."

Thinking he got in trouble, Soobin sniffled, "I nuh know. I sowwy" he apologized to Woosan.

"You don't have to apologize Binnie, it's perfectly fine. We would've liked to hang out with you more though" Wooyoung stepped closer to Soobin and held his hand out, "Sangie made this for you."

Soobin took the paper in Wooyoung's hand and analyzed it. It was him and Yeosang holding hands in a field like the photo he was just colouring with a question above it that read "Fwends?".

The little teared up then looked at Yeosang who looked back at him with hopeful eyes. Soobin smiles and nodded which made Yeosang jump up and down happily.

"What does it say, Binnie?" Huening Kai turned to Soobin who gave him the painting.

"That's nice of Sangie, baby" Yeonjun chimed in, "What do you say?"

"Tank chu, Sangie. And tank chu fow takin' cawe of me" he shoved his head into Yeonjun's shoulder right after.

"You'we wewcome" Yeosang exclaimed before trying to hug Soobin.

Yeonjun placed Soobin back down and shared a hug before pulling apart. Huening Kai thanked ATEEZ for taking little Binnie for the day while Yeonjun grabbed all of Soobin stuff and made sure it was there. They shared one last goodbye before Huening Kai picked up Soobin and the three went to the van to take him home.
