My Everything
“Are the kids asleep?” Baekhyun asks, grabbing the pizza box and bringing it to the trash.
“No, they said they want you to tuck them in,” Chanyeol replies, picking up the paper plates on the table. “Go, I’ll finish the clean-up.”
Baekhyun nods and wipes his hands on his pants as he heads towards Jongin’s and Sehun’s room. “Boys?” he says, peeking into the room to find Sehun sitting on his brother’s bed, leaving an empty space between the two.
“Uncle Bacon!” Jongin smiles. “We saved you a spot!”
Baekhyun smiles back and crawls into the small space, allowing Jongin and Sehun to wrap their arms around his torso. “Why aren’t you boys sleeping?” Baekhyun asks with a scowl on his face, pretending to reprimand them.
“Uncle Bacon, are you and my Daddy boyfriends now?” Jongin asks instead.
Shocked, Baekhyun turns his body to gape at the boy. “W-Where did you hear that, Jongin?”

Letting out a sob, he envelopes the boys in his arms, hugging the two tightly to his chest as he looks up and sees Chanyeol standing in the doorway, smiling at the three of them.
“Where’s Baekhyun hyung?”
“Chanyeol has the morning off today,” Jongdae replies, grounding the coffee beans like he had some sort of vendetta against them. “He’ll be in later this afternoon.”
“Oh…” Youngjae replies, glancing over sadly at the barista. “Do you want me to make some cheese bread?” the boy asks, suddenly excited. “Baekhyun hyung showed me how!”
“No.”
