Beomgyu deals with a tough issue known as little space syndrome, which has roots in his tricky childhood with toxic parents. Whenever something hits a nerve from his past, he often slips back into a toddler-like state, feeling overwhelmed with fear and vulnerability. Luckily, his boyfriend Taehyun is always there for him, ready to provide comfort and support during those hard times.
One afternoon, while Taehyun was wrapped up in work, Beomgyu was enjoying some rare peace at home. That is until a loud clap of thunder shook the apartment, breaking the calm. Beomgyu’s heart began to race as the noise echoed in his ears, and even though he tried to stay calm, panic started creeping in. As the storm got worse—with lightning brightening the sky and rain pounding against the windows—Beomgyu felt himself slipping back into that scared, childlike mindset he dreaded.
When Taehyun finally got home after a long day, he was greeted by an eerie silence. Sensing something was off, he called out for Beomgyu. He found Beomgyu curled up in bed under a cozy blanket, trembling in fear. In his arms, he tightly clutched his little toy—a treasured keepsake from happier times—as if it could protect him from the storm outside.
