Chapter 2 - Instant Daddies and a Baby

YoungBae, SeungHyun and Daesung were all laying on their chest flat on the eldest’s bed…eyeing with complete astonishment and curiosity at a kid sitting in front of them. Seunghyun can’t help but just tilt his head trying to make sense of things, Youngbae hugged Seunghyun’s pillow tighter while his legs were bent upwards…Daesung couldn’t help but study at how tiny his loud mouth hyung became in an instant.

“So basically….you’re a kid right now?” Daesung poked Jiyong’s cheek, making it bounce up like a jell-o eliciting a smirk from the dongsaeng and a rolling of eyes from the older one.

“stop pinching me!” Jiyong protested, it feels weird being this small…YoungBae, Seunghyun and Dae look really big compared to him. He rubbed his wet nose partly trying to dry it up and also trying to block his view…it’s weirder that his bandmates looks gigantic compared to him, it’s another level of weirdness on how they look at him like he’s in a cage in a zoo. “Seriously are you guys gonna say anything…”

Jiyong noticed another finger reaching out to poke him.

“STOP POKING ME!!” Jiyong shouted to Youngbae who quickly pulled his finger back. Jiyong slammed his tiny hands on the mattress, this will not do...this is just ed up. He wants to wake up now, but after countless of times trying to shake it off, this is sadly a reality.

“Wait..” Youngbae reached out for the necklace Jiyong was holding, wanting to get a better look… “can you explain to me how you suddenly became like this?”

“AGAIN BAE?!?!  HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO REPEAT THAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN!”

“HELLO DON’T YELL AT ME FOR NOT KNOWING HOW TO REACT PROPERLY! THIS IS FREAKY AS IT IS!!!” Bae shouted back taking Jiyong in surprise. Seeing baby jiyong pouted made Bae’s heart crumble a bit, his inside making another churning…Jiyong’s cuteness overwhelms already in his 24 year old body, how much more now that he’s in this 3 year old tiny physique…it damn multiplies his aegyo a million times more.

“Sorry but I really…I really can’t figure out how to do this…I need to learn 7 things…I don’t know what they are though…then she said---“ Jiyong stopped talking as the maknae entered the room, looking really serious and upset. Jiyong clenched his lips tighter, feeling annoyed that the maknae’s not giving him the attention that he’s getting from the other three. From the moment the three calmed down, SeungRi just stayed for a few minutes to listen for his first round of storytelling before bolting out of the room, looking for something god knows what. Jiyong can’t take it anymore how the maknae went for Seunghyun’s closet, as if ignoring him, pulling out a towel…

“YA! I’m talking here and you’re not even listening! AREN’T YOU CONCERN ABOUT MY SITUATION HA SEUNGRI!!!” Jiyong finally exploded.

The other three didn’t know how to react but just look at SeungRi who gave Jiyong a raised eyebrow.

“I am concern…” he replied.

Jiyong didn’t believe him, folded his arms around his body and shook his head. SeungRi laughed a little at how childish Jiyong was.

“I am hyung…”

“Then how come you’re like prancing around the house, while these three…they’re here to listen to me! You know what I don’t care, go and do your business” Jiyong closed his eyes and snide his face away from the maknae, throwing out his obvious tantrum. Jiyong always love attention…and he hates it when people doesn’t give it to him, especially when that person is SeungRi.

SeungRi just shook his head and slowly walked towards their leader. “I am concern..I listened when you told about the freaky lady and the 7 thing condition…”

“Whatever!” Jiyong shouted. “You just gave me a single look and then started minding your own business….”

~thud~

Jiyong quickly opened his eyes when the warm soft cottony feeling of a freshly dried towel draped his head. Then gently a sensation of a massage made his body shiver with comfort. Slowly the piece of the white towel covering his vision was lifted, revealing SeungRi’s smile as his maknae dry him up.

“Unlike the other awestruck people in front of you Master Jiyong, I was concerned that you were wet like a tiny dog….so after hearing your story, I know I needed to dry you up immediately…we don’t want you to catch any cold. Then I also checked out any clothes I can lend you, so here this is the smallest one I can find.” SeungRi smiled wider as he continue to pat dry Jiyong’s hair, even managing to play with it by pulling upward. “haha, now you look like youngbae!”

Jiyong felt embarrassed and touched at the same time, he wanted to blush but ofcourse he can’t let Seungri see it so he immediately slapped SeungRi’s huge hands off of him and messed back his hair. SeungRi lifted his chin and started drying him more.

The three just watched in amazement at how SeungRi appeared to be like a dad towards Jiyong.

“Ummm you guys can stop watching us like we’re some sort of a movie…” Jiyong smirked.

The three quickly laughed away the odd atmosphere, YoungBae finally sat up and started thinking, realizing that SeungRi has a point…being awestruck won’t help the situation they need to figure out how to turn Jiyong back to normal.

“Ok you need seven good lessons..what can be the lessons you need to learn…?” YoungBae held onto his chin thinking carefully, then shifted to meet with DaeSung’s eyes… “What do you think?”

“I….I don’t know…hmmm what are the things that huyng needs? Something that lacks in his personality is that one?” Daesung actually knows a lot of things Jiyong needs to learn but he couldn’t muster enough courage to do so fearing that his hyung will take it all in and will never forgive him.

“He’s too conceited….”

The four guys stopped for a moment to focus on SeungHyun’s surprising words, he was pouting and eyes carefully focused on a dumbfounded Jiyong.

“WHAT?!” Jiyong wanted to punch Seunghyun…but he was only ignored as SeungHyun was now looking at Bae…

“You know Bae, he thinks his the world…like everything revolves around him…” SeungHYun continued…

“Oh yeah and he’s not considerate…he loses patience immediately…” YoungBae added, realizing SeungHyun’s point, figuring out what Jiyong lacks may help them get to the so-called lessons their “baby” needs to learn.

“!?!” Jiyong shouted but still he was ignored.

“Oh and Hyung doesn’t listen…like right now, he still went out despite being on  house arrest…he should learn how to listen…” Daesung added up, feeling excited that finally he can open up indirectly and tell Jiyong his faults.

“HEY!” Jiyong protested…he feels as if the whole group is ganging up on him.

Jiyong felt as if he was shrinking further, wanting for the bed to suddenly engulf him instead of hearing how YoungBae, Daesung and Seunghyun points out what he lacks. He knows he’s like that, but to have it lay out in front of you makes it more difficult to digest. He’s starting to get confused if the three are helping of making him feel a bit more bad. It is as if they’re not brainstorming but instead group insulting him. Jiyong wanted to cry…actually he started cursing silently cause whether it was because of the endless rain of criticism or what…but he couldn’t help but tear up; he swear he tried to hold back, it’s not like him to cry in front of s…hell it’s not like him to cry at all.

But damn this stupid kid body…is it possible too that anatomically this little body he has can’t hold up tears like how a 24 year old can?

He started sobbing silenty, apparently the other three didn’t notice.

Then a slightly rough thumb patted his falling tear, he looked up and was greeted by a warm smile from Seungri…

Ri patted hi head gently as he gestured for Jiyong to raise his tiny hands to wear a shirt then coughed loudly to catch the Hyungs’ attention.

“Ya, are you guys helping or insulting…” Jiyong was surprised at how protective Seungri suddenly became; and more so surprised at how he still managed to pat baby powder while lecturing his hyungs; who are now looking down and feeling totally embarrassed about this.

“Maybe we can send him to some sort of charity event you know donate a lot of cash or anything?” Daesung suggest.

Seungri gestured for Jiyong to stand up so he can wear the shorts he brought with him, Jiyong was careful to cover his ‘precious cargo’ so as not to dangle and be exposed. Jiyong felt his cheeks blushed as the other three giggling at how his tiny hand tries to cover up what could be once considered as his priced procession.

“YA!” He slapped Seunghyun’s forehead, eliciting more laughter. “Damn little hands, I can’t even punch with this.”

“Guys please…” SeungRi lifted Jiyong and then gently placed him on his lap…quite odd but Jiyong just looks up at SeungRi, feeling warmth and comfort as the maknae taps his back gently…he wanted to protest but his body somehow melted with each tap..maybe that’s why whenever SeungRi does this to Kush’s kids they tend to fall asleep immediately.  “Stop laughing and let’s be serious…we only have 30 days..”

“Well he can do a charity just like what I said..” Dae suggested, YoungBae nodded but SeungRi just tsk at them.

“Aren’t you listening to what the weird lady said…he can’t force the lesson on him..it needs to come out naturally. Doing charities won’t do, it’s like…forced and fake…” SeungRi reasoned out…Jiyong just wobbled on SeungRi’s lap, thinking carefully what to do next and also savoring the fact that surprisingly it was only the maknae who sees this point. The forced impromptu donation or charity already came to his head; if Ri didn’t point this one out he might have just wasted a lot of time.

“man this is hard…” YoungBae plays with the necklace then felt SeungHyun tapping him, he handed over the object and started rummaging his head for ideas.

“So Ji, this is supposed to help you figure out if you’re learning something right? Did she even bother tell you how?” SeungHyun swung the pendant in front of his eyes, as if hypnotizing him.

“well no.” Jiyong answered “other than the leaves are supposed to change colors that’s it.”

“she could’ve just given you some sort of compass…maybe you offended people that’s why and then yo have to make up to them?” DaeSung suggested.

“If that’s part of the condition and we’ll need to look for people Jiyong offended umm it’ll take us a lifetime.” SeungHyun sarcastically rolled his eyes, Dae laughed and they clapped their hands.

“Hey come on…” YoungBae stopped the two but obviously he seemed to wanna laugh too. He coughed back his laugh and took the necklace from Seunghyun then handed it over to maknae to let him have a better look. “We need to focus now. Jiyong only has 30 days…”

“But we all know we can’t do pretty much, it’s him how have to find his way to these so called ‘Realization’” SeungHyun replied with air quotes.

“Yeah hyung this doesn’t rely to us…we can just cover your right now but not how to break this curse..it all depends on you.” Daesugn reasoned.

“Fine….” Jiyong mumbled.

“Well…” Seungri was thinking carefully… “As we are now taking care of a little Jiyong…” Jiyong protested with the word ‘little’ but quickly calmed down when Ri patted his head. “I think the first thing we should do is errmmm….have YG-ssi on this.”

“WHAT!?” all four shouted.

“WHY NOT? He needs to…he’ll look for Ji any time soon.” SeungRi placed the necklace around his neck, noticed how Jiyong wanted to take it off and wear it himself, but Ri just put Ji’s hands down. “We can’t go and tell him that Jiyong went home, he’ll want to talk to him when his nerves calms down.”

The four got Ri’s point.

“Look…what we can do is help Jiyong hyung to cover up and at the same time, help him figure those lessons…I think that maybe we can all do some sort of a shifting in taking care of hyung. I’ll do for today sine you two (points at Bae and SeungHyun) have a schedule and you (points at Dae) have a seminar today..”

“whoa maknae knows our schedule?” YoungBae’s eyes widen.

“cause unlike you four I tend to be the one who keeps a schedule planner in hand…now since I’m off for today, I’ll wear this necklace to keep it safe…then maybe we can go out later and check places wherein hyung can experience stuffs…playground I guess can be one?”

“So he’ll learn what it means to do be a team player and share the swing with other toddlers.” Daesung laughed.

“Ri!!” Jiyong hugged SeungRi….right now he needs the calmness the maknae can give.

“Umm yeah….” SeungRi tilted his head, he wanted to stop Dae’s childish idea but if you look at it..Ji does need some lesson at sharing.

“So it’s off to YG then…” YoungBae looked at his mates for confirmation…

“Yup….” SeungHyun sighed….

“Aigooo…” Daesung stood up, “I need a good hoodie so people won’t recognize me hyung.” He asked SeungHyun who nodded and pointed at his closet.

“Fine I’ll start the car.” YoungBae stood up. “We will need some hell of an explanation for this.”

“Guys….” Ri called out the older three who were now busy minding their own business and talking… “Guys….” Ri wrapped his hands around Jiyong’s body… “HEY GUYS!” Ri hissed a little bit louder, finally catching their attention. “First thing first….ummm….don’t talk too loud right now…” SeungRi gently lifted Jiyong’s body to show to the other three why he was whispering….

SeungHyun clasped his hand over his mouth trying not to squeal out of cuteness, Dae giggled and YoungBae raised one eyebrow and started to chuckle…

SeungRi just smiled wide and gestured for them to be quiet…

Because in his slender warm hands cover a quietly sleeping Jiyong…who’s thumb and twitching eyelids as he travels dreamland.... made him definitely and literally the CUTEST idol on earth.

so toddler do need their sleep. =p
