“Taeminnie! Can you answer the phone please?”

“Hyung’s in the bathroom. I’ll get it!” The bubbly nine year old Sungjong yelled as he ran to the phone to answer it. “Hello?”

“Sungjongie? It’s daddy.” Came the deep reply from over the phone.

Smiling happily, Sungjong yelled toward the kitchen, “Daddy’s on the phone!”

Almost immediately, the twelve year old Taemin came hurrying out of the bathroom, drying his hands on his pants. “Daddy called?” He asked eagerly, getting a nod from his younger brother.

Taemin laughed. “Yeah of course! To the moon and back times infinity~!”

“Min? Is everything okay?” Kibum questioned a bit worriedly, not quite liking how his husband was talking.

Instead of answering the other man’s question, Minho simply continued on. “Bummie baby, Taeminnie, Sungjongie…I want you guys to remember that I’m already there with you and always will be. Whenever you go out into the sun, I’
