– Sungjong POV –

After we finished eating dinner which I'm really glad turned out good and suited their taste buds Myungsoo-ssi helped me carry the used utensils in the sink and he actually offered to wash it but since he can’t cook I doubt he also know how to wash the dishes not that I'm judging him but come on his rich I'm sure he is used with maids doing everything for him.  So I kindly decline his offer telling him I can manage it, I was in the middle of rinsing all the utensils we used when Sungjun come and ask if he could help and I couldn’t help but smile at my baby so I let him help me putting the rinsed plates on the rack to dry up.

When we finished washing the utensils Sungjun was smiling and all proud himself telling how he is such a good boy and a big boy for helping me and I couldn’t help but gush on him and his willfulness. We then went to his room and let him take a bath and after being splashed with water countless of times I gave up and took a bath with him and once we are done I help him put on his pajama’s and I also change to my own clothes. After that I then tuck him to bed and read him his bedtime story and a few minutes later he was knocked out, this day has been really busy for both of us.

I kissed him goodnight and wish him good night and sweet dreams before leaving his room I made sure to pull his blanket all the way to his chest so that he wouldn’t get cold and after that went out of his room, I stretch my limbs and then head to the kitchen to make myself some tea, it always help me sleep faster. When I got to the kitchen I see Myungsoo sitting on the kitchen stool I quirk my eyebrow but shakes my head and head behind to the cabinet and took out the tea jar and tea cups

Would you like some tea also Myungsoo-ssi?

Myungsoo- oh yeah if you don’t mind

Mhm

Once the water starts boiling I turn off the burner and pour on the teapot and pour the tea and as I wait for the tea to set I then grab the tea cups and minutes later I then pour on each cups and then handed it to Myungsoo-ssi. I blow on my steaming tea and took a sip on it and I couldn’t help but close my eyes and sigh as I taste the soothing flavor of the tea. Seconds later I then open my eyes and see Myungsoo looking at me and I instantly feel my cheeks heating up and calm my beating heart when he saw me looking at him he cough lightly and look away, we then got enveloped by an awkward silence.

Myungsoo- oh before I completely forgot I have something to give you Sungjong

Huh? I then see him pull something in his pocket and put it on top of the counter, I look at it and see it’s a credit card, I then shifted my gaze to him and see him looking at me but this time his eyes doesn’t show any curiosity or other things that I can’t pin point but I can see seriousness in his eyes.

Myungsoo- well since you wouldn’t accept any of the money that I gave you I just figured to give this to you, especially now that Sungyeol is on a sudden leave and we can only rely on you, you can use this anytime like when you and the kids go out or the groceries or anything that you would need. I hope you accept this

But…

Myungsoo- I really hope you won’t decline my offer this time, I really don’t think its right to let you spend your own money our things that my sons would be using or food that we would be eating. I already feel like we are imposing on you too much so…

Okay I understand I will take this but I would only use this card for the things that are needed to buy for the house and Minsoo’s and Sungjun’s things okay?

Myungsoo- I wouldn’t mind if you also use it for your personal…

Okay?

Myungsoo- okay

Good, anyway are you allergic to anything? And do Minsoo and Sungjun also have allergies to some foods?

Myungsoo- I don’t have any food that I'm allergic to I just don’t like to eat too oily and greasy food and for Minsoo and Sungjun I don’t think they are allergic to anything but I will ask Sungyeol to make sure, oh though I don’t let them eat any fast foods and foods that has preservatives or instant foods.

Is he serious? How could he not let the kids not eat instant foods? Yes it’s not healthy but come on once a while wouldn’t be that bad especially ramen! Oh my god! Don’t tell me Minsoo and Sungjun haven’t tried eating instant ramen? Oh my god! They are missing the goodness of instant ramen I will change that I will try to make them eat it even if we have to keep it a secret to Myungsoo-ssi. I let my hand slip on my back and cross my fingers as I answer him

Oh okay I understand, I will make sure not to let them eat those things. NOT! I’ll make sure to buy cookies, gummy bears, lollipops, chips and instant noodles! And I will make them try it! Kids need to eat those things to enjoy their childhood! Childhood means getting stomach ache and tooth ache because of eating too much junk foods and sweets. Though I will make sure to let them know that they shouldn’t eat too much since it’s still bad for the health, I feel so evil with this plan kekeke oh well.

Myungsoo- thank … oh excuse me I have to answer this. Hello?

He then stands up and leave the kitchen as he talks to the caller it looks serious so I'm guessing its work, work at this late hour weird but then again he’s a workaholic so no surprise there. I then took a sit on the kitchen stool and look at the window as I drink my tea, snow still covering everything but it’s not snowing tonight hopefully Sungyeol hyung safely arrived at his house and hope his mother get well soon.

Hmm I wonder what would be a good breakfast meal tomorrow, I think my baby junnie told me something that he wanted to eat later I just forgot what it was, was it blue berry pancake or was it waffle? Hmm I will just make both and some eggs yep I think that would be a good breakfast meal healthy and all while Myungsoo is around, now that I thought of it I guess tomorrow we will be going to the super market to buy some food, food that Myungsoo-ssi can’t see kekeke I better make a list of things that we should buy.

Myungsoo- …jong? Sungjong?

Huh? Ah? Sorry I was lost in thought did you say something?

Myungsoo- I was saying that I have to leave tonight and will be back after two days

EH?

Myungsoo- I'm sorry something suddenly happen in one of our sites in Pyeongchang, tomorrow I will have my secretary hire a driver so that you wouldn’t have to take a cab when you need to go out with Minsoo and Sungjun, if this isn’t important I wouldn’t leave this hastily but this is one of our major project for next year so I have to see it myself. If something happens don’t hesitate to call me okay? And I'm sorry again

I… its okay I guess, I think I can handle them alone. But do you really have to leave now? It’s already late and Pyeongchang is pretty far it would be dangerous to drive going there at this time of the day.

Myungsoo- yes I do the sooner I get there the sooner I solve the problem and the sooner I get home plus my secretary is a good driver there is nothing to worry about and we could switch up when he got tired.

Okay then if you say so, and you don’t have to hire a driver I think we can handle with commuting from one place to another.

Myungsoo- that’s true but I want to make sure nothing happens to you three while I'm gone so tomorrow there will be a temporary driver coming over.

Okay…

Myungsoo- you should rest Sungjong, this day must have been tiring. Call me anytime of the day if something happened and please tell Minsoo and Sungjun that I'm sorry I couldn’t say goodbye to them, I will be home after two days.

Okay. Please be careful on the road Myungsoo-ssi don’t worry about Minsoo and Sungjun I will take good care of them.

Myungsoo- I know you will and I'm thankful of you for that. Goodnight Sungjong

I smiled at him and also told him goodnight as I then put the now empty teacup on the sink and head towards my room. Once I got to my room I then sit on my bed and stare at the wall, two days of no Myungsoo, how will I explain this to Minsoo and junnie? Oh god junnie I'm sure he will cry because he didn’t get to send his appa off UGH! And here I thought since Sungyeol hyung is gone he would take a time off to spend some time with his sons but then again I guess this project is really important that he couldn’t ignore.

I don’t know how I manage to sleep but I woke up with my alarm ringing and I was laid across the edge of my bed, I'm lucky that the room has a heater because if not I'm pretty sure I would be dead because I didn’t sleep with a blanket wrap around me especially at a weather like this. I stand up and turn off my alarm and did a few stretching, after a few minutes I then walk towards the bathroom and did my morning ritual.

After that I then grab my phone to see if I have an unread message and I do it’s from Sungyeol hyung saying he arrived back to his home around 1 am. I sent a quick reply and then head down to the kitchen and start making breakfast I was setting the ingredients in the kitchen counter when I see a piece of paper on top of the counter, I put down all the things I'm holding and grab the paper and read it, it was from Myungsoo-ssi saying he left already and that I shouldn’t hesitate to call him, basically the same thing he said last night and a few things like where the keys of the cars are and where I can let the temporary driver sleep. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and send a short message to Myungsoo-ssi

“Good morning Myungsoo-ssi uhm I don’t I didn’t wake you up but anyway, I read the note you left and I hope you safely arrive at Pyeongchang and don’t worry about the kids I will take good care of them like I said last night, don’t forget to eat despite you being busy and fighting! ^^”

I reread my message again to make sure it doesn’t look or he wouldn’t get different thoughts reading this, wouldn’t want him to notice my growing affection towards him that would be really awkward it’s awkward enough so I don’t want to make it even more awkward. Once I deemed that it was decent enough and doesn’t give away that I'm too worried about him or that I'm gonna miss him I click the sent button and put my phone down and shake my head as I then start getting the food ready, wouldn’t want my cutie pie junnie and moody Minsoo get too hungry.

Once I'm done cooking the pancakes and egg I put it all in the dining table and went to my baby junnie’s room first because then we can wake up his hyung the two of us. When I arrive at Sungjun’s room I see him still sleeping soundly, he has his feet on the pillow as his head is on the foot of the bed he must have rolled around the room and I couldn’t help but find his situation really cute, he must have been really tired for him to trash all around his bed and still sleeping at this hour.

Baby wake up, it’s time to eat.

He didn’t even move a single bit so I took a sit beside him and caress his head as I shake him lightly minutes later he is groaning and open his left eye and when he saw me he close his eyes again as he crawl closer to me and his tiny hands around me, aigoo my baby is so adorable I just want to squeeze him. I caress his moppy hair which made Sungjun move closer to me and I couldn’t help but smile at him and his actions

Come on junnie its time to wake up

Sungjun- hmm umma

Wake up sleepy head the food will get cold umma work hard on it so that my baby junnie would have something yummy to eat

Sungjun- nngh umma food?

Mhm, I made pancakes like you wanted

Sungjun- blueberries?

Yes baby

Sungjun- junnie’s up

Kekeke okay let’s get those teeth brush and face washed.

Sungjun- okay umma 

After let’s wake your hyung up ne?

Sungjun- ne umma

We then head towards his bathroom and I watch him wash his face and brush his teeth and after that I went out of the bathroom so he could pee, even though he is still young he needs to know that he has to do that alone and can have his own privacy. While he is doing his deed I folded his blanket and arrange his bed and when he come out of the bathroom we then head to Minsoo’s room to wake him up,

I opened the door of Minsoo’s room and Sungjun then went inside and rush towards his hyung who is still soundly asleep, when I got inside of Minsoo’s room I see my baby junnie jumping on his hyung’s bed. A few minutes later I see Minsoo moving and groaning and seconds later he open his eyes and glare at his dongsaeng and when junnie saw his hyung is up he stop jumping and instead jump on top of his hyung and smile at Minsoo I couldn’t help but chuckle at my baby’s antics

Minsoo- ugh Sungjun!!!

Sungjun- Morning hyungie it’s breakfast time! Umma made pancakes!!

Minsoo- I'm still sleepy go away!

Sungjun- but hyungie!! Breakfast! Umma made pancakes! Blueberries!

Minsoo- go away

Minsoo come on breakfast is ready

Minsoo- tsk fine

Come junnie we’ll just wait for your hyung downstairs

Sungjun- ne umma  

We then left Minsoo’s room and head down to the dining room where I had place our breakfast, I told Sungjun to take a sit and wait for me as I grab some juice and water. I went to the fridge and grab the pitcher of freshly squeezed orange juice I made earlier and then grab another pi
