Yay update! so i read this fan acc translation from a jvip on twitter about ji n ri at a korean bbq place, and since they assumed that day was when ri got discharged, i kinda just went w/ it. also it's cuz i saw taehee's ig update (my main pic for the chap) on the 15th and not only the three manager are there, he also tagged bae who was not in the pic, and since jaewoo is bae's manager now, taehee is ji's and bokyung is ri's, i thk that that's the day of the fan acc and ri's discharge date, they all went to pick him up and eat out together. also accroding to the fan acc, they went to a club later on that night, i put this in the fic too, but i really don't thk ri drank anything alcoholic cuz even the day of nona9on, he was 0% alright!

The group of people walks in one by one, greeting Mrs. Lee and Hanna on their way in. SeungRi is getting discharge today, and they’re all here to pick him up.

After more than four weeks, thirty-three days to be exact, SeungRi is finally free to go home. Well, he needs to be carefully taken care of, solo schedules are negative whatsoever, even restrictions on his menu for a few months, but at least he's well enough to get out now.

JiYong of course, is the first one to rush towards SeungRi’s side, checking on how many layers of clothes he’s wearing. “It’s cold outside! Wear more clothes!”

“Hyung… I have a T-shirt, a long sleeve shirt, a cashmere sweater, and this super thick jacket! I’m sweating already!” SeungRi whines, looking at YoungBae for help.

But who can stop daddy JiYong at times like this? Before YoungBae can say anything, JiYong already pulled out a scarf and a beanie and is putting them on SeungRi.

“Eomeoni, we’re going to go eat at a gogigui place later, can we bring SeungHyun-ie along?” Seeing that he can’t help SeungRi and JiYong isn’t doing anything bad, YoungBae asks Mrs. Lee instead.

“I don’t want to just say no, but SeungHyun-ie should rest more.” Mrs. Lee knows that they haven’t bond in a long time, but she's still worry about her son.

“Don’t worry eomeoni, we are going to carry everything and cook everything, all Hyunie’s gonna be doing is eat! We’ll take good care of him.” JiYong assures.

SeungRi also pulls on his mother’s hand and aegyos, “Eoma~ just let me join them! I haven’t eaten normal food for like centuries! Please eoma~”

Hearing her brother’s aegyo, Hanna rolls her eyes and laughs, “Seung-Hyung please… How old are you to still aegyo to eoma?”

“It’s not like you don’t do it!”

“But I'm a girl!” Hanna sticks her tongue out to tease.

“Okay kids stop fighting; I’ll let you go, SeungHyun.” Mrs. Lee chose to trust in them.

SeungRi jumps up and hugs her, “Thank you eoma! Oh and I’m not coming home tonight, you don't have to wait for me.”

“Why aren’t you coming home son?”

“Eoma, he wants to be with JiYong-ie oppa, that’s why.” Hanna says, “lovey dovey, baby daddy~”

“Yah Lee Hanna!” They almost got into a siblings’ play fight again, but JiYong stopped them.

They had JaeWoo drive Mrs. Lee and Hanna home while the other five go to the restaurant first.

When they’re in the garage, JiYong suddenly says to YoungBae who is about to get in the van, “Get in the back, YoungBae, Hyunie and I are sitting in the middle.”

“Why do I have to get in the back?” YoungBae turns around and asks.

“Because Hyunie can’t crawl to the back.”

“I get that, but why can’t you go to the back instead?” YoungBae crosses his arms and leans on the van door, showing no sign of going in.

“Because I need to take care of Hyunie.” JiYong says as if it’s the most normal thing in the world; well, it is too. “Now hurry up and get in, Hyunie gets tire if he stands for too long.” He says, hugging SeungRi from the back.

“Fine, whatever.” YoungBae quickly settles down in the back seat alone.

JiYong helps SeungRi sit down in the middle row, putting on his seatbelt for him, ignoring the bunch of “hyung I can do it myself” from him. After settling his baby down, JiYong walks over to the door on the other side and got in too.

Before the two managers get on, BoKyung pulls TaeHee over and says to him, “Drive slowly and steadily, SeungRi still gets a little panic when he's in a moving vehicle.”

“What’re you talking about pabo hyung? I always drive safely!” TaeHee smiles and got in the van.

[At the restaurant]

They arrive at the place in roughly thirty minutes because they weren’t going fast, but no one complained, for SeungRi’s sake. When they walk in, there are only some middle age office clerk looking man scattered around the place having their soju and manhood chat. Unlike before, JiYong didn’t choose a corner seat; instead he escorts SeungRi to a table off to the side. They didn’t want to sit too crowded and accidently hurt SeungRi either, so they separated into two tables, with JiYong sitting across SeungRi and to the right of YoungBae in one table, and TaeHee back to back with JiYong, across from BoKyung in another. JaeWoo arrives shortly after and took a seat right behind YoungBae too.

Since it’s a restaurant they use to go to a lot, JiYong didn’t even need to look at the menu to order the food. “Imo, we’re ready to order!” He calls the ahjuma over and orders a bunch of meat for the barbecue along with samgyetang, galbijjim, and bulgogi just for SeungRi. “Please give us a lot, imo!”

When some of the meat is delivered to their table, SeungRi naturally reaches for the clamp, but JiYong stops him and takes the clamp instead. “I promised eomeoni that all you’re going to do today is eat, just let us do it. You need to eat more to gain back those three kilograms you lose.”

After a while, seeing that some of the meats are cooked, SeungRi takes a lettuce leaf and goes for a piece of samgyeopsal, “Hey, stop!!” JiYong suddenly raises his voice a bit and startles SeungRi. “Did I scare you baby? I’m sorry, but that’s not for you, okay? You’re still recovering, and that’s too fatty and greasy; same goes with the ggeobdegi.”

“Fine… Then can I have some of your gamjatang?”

“SeungRi I thought I told you that you can’t eat spicy food since the first day.” BoKyung yells over from the other table.

Feeling defeated that he can’t eat any of his favorite foods, SeungRi mumbles, “What can I actually eat… Hyung you told me to eat a lot…”

“Ah, here comes your samgyetang, you don’t have to finish everything if you can’t, but don’t stop until you’re full.”

“But I want to eat those, they taste better!” SeungRi pouts.

“Don’t be upset baby, this is good too.” JiYong wraps a bossam and puts it in front of SeungRi’s mouth, he bites down half of it and JiYong puts the other half in his own mouth. “That’s my good boy; TaeHee will get you strawberries later.”

“Who, me?” TaeHee turns around hearing his name being mentioned.

“Yeah, of course. Who else?”

“But I need to drive you guys.”

“BoKyung can drive too.”

“I should’ve know, hyung you only tell me what to do.” He turns back with a pout.

When they’re about to leave, JiYong gets a call from Song KyungIl saying that some of the NuThang crew are meeting up for a drink, and asks if he wants to join.

“It’s fine, SeungHyun-ie’s coming home tonight, I gotta stay with him.” JiYong replies. “Alright, I'll ask him then.” He says in his phone after listening to the other end’s words.

“Hyunie,” JiYong turns to SeungRi, “KyungIl-ie hyung’s asking if you want to join us for a drink, by ‘us’ I mean NuThang but I’ll only go tonight if you go. Oh and you can’t drink anything alcoholic, you’re under the watch of, yeah, basically all of us.”

SeungRi’s eyes spark up, “Really?! Hyung you’re really allowing me to go?”

Smiling at the excited kid, JiYong answers, “Since it’s a NuThang thing and the club’s not open to public today, and you’ve not been out for so long, so why not? But you have to promise me that you’re gonna tell me when you start to feel tire, we’ll go home then and let you sleep, ‘kay?”

SeungRi nods, “One more question,” he hesitates a little, but continues anyway, “do I still get my strawberries?”

“You strawberry monster.” JiYong ruffles SeungRi’s hair and helps him put on his jacket, eyes filled with affectionate.

YoungBae decided not to join them, so they separated with JaeWoo is driving him home and BoKyung driving the rest, dropping TaeHee off in front of a super market nearby the club to buy strawberries.

“WonSuk-ie hyung, KyungIl-ie hyung, HyukSoo hyung, YangGaeng-ie hyung.” SeungRi greets the group one by one politely as JiYong just gave them a “’sup” and a nod. “You don’t have to make it so formal. I’ve know these guys for so long, they wouldn’t mind.” JiYong takes SeungRi by his waist and sits down together on the couch.

KyungIl gives JiYong a punch on his arm, “Yah! I’m still hyung for you, brat! SeungHyun-ie is so much cuter than you. SeungHyun-ah, order a drink for yourself, my treat.”

“It’s alright hyung, I just got discharged and I’m not supposed to drink anything alcoholic.” SeungRi replies politely and scoots back, leaning comfortably into the couch.

“Pick something anyway, SeungHyun-ie. You like strawberry, right? Let’s see…” Lee HyukSoo waves the waiter over after reading the cocktail menu, “Get this kid a Strawberry Daiquiri, and make it non-alcoholic, thanks. What about you JiYong?”

“Pisco Sour, please. And Lee HyukSoo! Stop trying to bribe my baby over!” JiYong pretends to block SeungRi from HyukSoo.

After TaeHee brought over the strawberry he bought, he went to sit with BoKyung a little distant from where the NuThang crew is sitting.

SeungRi cuddles comfortably next to JiYong eating and drinking his strawberries and daiquiri while the hyungs drink and chat. They are kind of loud, but it wasn’t bothering, in fact it’s actually calming and makes him want to sleep. He leans his head against JiYong’s shoulder as he slowly drifts off to sleep. JiYong felt the little pressure on his shoulder and turns his head, seeing his baby so tired, he carefully shifts away and takes SeungRi in his arms, unintentionally lowering his voice, he says to his friends, “SeungHyun-ie fell asleep already, we should go home now. You guys go enjoy the rest of the night!” He was about to pick SeungRi up, but because SeungRi was not sleeping very soundly, he stirs and wakes up. “Hey baby, we’re going home now, want me to carry you?”

“I can walk hyung.” SeungRi pouts and sits up, bowing a little to everyone else, “Bye hyungs, I’ll steal JiYong-ie hyung now, have a nice time.” He stands up, getting ready to leave with JiYong.

“Bye SeungHyun-ie, get better soon!” The others bid their goodbyes too, HyukSoo even winked at SeungRi. JiYong saw that and waves his fist at him playfully.

JiYong grabs a blanket from the back and wraps it around SeungRi after they got in the van and took off. “I told you to tell me when you feel tired, why didn’t you say anything aegy-yah?” JiYong is concerned. SeungRi’s health has gotten a lot better and feeling tired late at night is not super worrisome, but the thing is, SeungRi once again has kept things from him, even though it’s a small matter this time, he can’t let his baby continue with it.

“I wasn’t feeling tired exactly, your voices became kinda hypnotizing and I just kinda dozed off.” He smiles and aegyos to JiYong, “Oppa~ I’m really not that tired!”

JiYong pecks his pouting lips and says, “Well go back to sleep, you should be in bed already at this time of the day.”

They got home twenty minutes later, JiYong helped SeungRi with his bath first and took a shower himself after. They both got into bed and snuggle cozily next to each other. SeungRi aegyos with all the cuteness he’s got, making JiYong sing him a lullaby again.

Two hours later, when JiYong made sure that SeungRi is really soundly asleep, he carefully and quietly sneaks out of the bed and left the bedroom too. He knows that he moves a lot in his sleep, and of course, he doesn’t want to unintentionally hurt his baby, so he’d rather not cuddle with him for a few more days or weeks maybe. 

ok more clarifications~ Song KyungIl is a member of NuThang! he's now the leader of Loen's boy group History, but he was a model before and first appeared in GDTV on ji's bday. I guess y'all know who hyuksoo/soohyuk and yanggaeng are right?! and wonsuk is just someone else in nuthang that i added in, not saying that these ppl were really there that night in the club w/ gri!!!

"Imo" litterally means the sister of one's mother, but u kn how ppl call the owner of korean bbq place "ahjuma"? it's a nicer and a closer way of saying that, rumor says that if u call them "imo" instead of "ahjuma" they give u more food, well, in korea. (yes the "rumor" is from mnet america XXD) some spells it "emo" but i dnt want my dear readers to mix it up with the emotional emo so i spelled it imo.
