Gratitude
Stories of Baby VoldeminThe party had moved indoors where they were enjoying Jaejoong's classic caramel shortbread. Somin was trying to get her daughter to take a bite of the dessert but the three-year-old is mesmerised by the tiny human in the bassinet.
Little Hayoung is fixated on what she thinks is a new toy. So, when her mother gives up trying to feed her, Hayoung toddles to the bassinet to finally look inside it. As far as toys go this is the best toy she's seen in her long life. Those eyes are shinier than her doll's and that nose is so cute, it's literally like a button. And she ends up pressing that button. And as far as buttons go, something is going to happen. Like what you assume is a toy proves to be a living creature with a set of pipes that could bring the roof down.
"Yah! How dare you upset his royal evilness!"
Startled by the scary man who appeared out of thin air Hayoung runs to her mother shrieking all the way. Somin is just as surprised by the man, rather strikingly beautiful man, who wasn't behind the bassinet five seconds ago. Almost working on auto pilot Somin gathers her daughter in a protective hold.
Two kids screaming bloody murder make Jaejoong and Yunho stumble out of the kitchen and the rest of the adults scattered around the house to gather. The chefs see Heechul appeasing a cranky Changmin with a small but ugly looking stuffed toy, then their peeved-out family staring at this random stranger, and then each other before wincing. Yunho mouths a "do something" to Jaejoong who has to think on his feet.
"Heechul-ssi~" Jaejoong sings out rather unceremoniously. Oh lovely. The attention is now on him. Now might be a great time to use the skills from that improv workshop he took for a grand total of 20 minutes in college. "You're so late. But we've got plenty of food left over. So you've got to take some home for later."
"Sure...?" Heechul drags the word, find Jaejoong's behaviour unusual. It's too pleasant. But when Jaejoong scoots closer to him and snatches the stuffed toy from his hands and grits out "what did I tell you about randomly appearing out of nowhere?" Heechul is sure that Jaejoong is not been switched with a demo
