Seokjin woke up to the feeling of Namjoon nuzzling against his scent gland, the alpha's own forest scent blanketing him. With a happy sigh, Seokjin tilted his head to give the alpha better access, humming quietly as he felt Namjoon's lips softly gliding over his skin. Then Namjoon's arm around his waist tightened and the alpha pressed up against him, resulting in Seokjin feeling his morning wood against his ass. "Well good morning." Seokjin giggled, intertwining his fingers with Namjoon's that were lightly tracing shapes on his stomach under his sweater.

"Morning." Namjoon mumbled, shifting his hips back so his dick was no longer stabbing Seokjin's ass. "It'll go down in a minute."

"I know a faster way to help it go down." Seokjin said, biting his lip as he pressed his ass back against his mate's crotch once again.

Namjoon barely managed to suppress a groan from the friction as Seokjin then proceeded to wiggle his ass playfully. "You're very eager for how early it is."

"Or maybe I just know we have a very limited window before one of the boys wakes up." Seokjin retorted, pressing back more firmly against the alpha.

That seemed to resonate with Namjoon as he didn't waste much time pulling Seokjin's pajama shorts down just enough to expose him and freeing his dick. He rubbed the tip of it through the slick starting to leak out of Seokjin to wet it before slowly pushing inside, Seokjin squeezing Namjoon's hand as his breath hitched at the penetration. Namjoon lightly nipped at Seokjin's mating scar to distract him from the stretch as he eventually bottomed out, staying still for a good moment to let Seokjin adjust.

When Namjoon did finally start moving at Seokjin's urging, he only managed a few thrusts before their bedroom door flew open and Jaehyun came strolling in with his stuffed pig tucked under his arm. Namjoon and Seokjin were immensely thankful that they still had their blanket covering them as they scrambled to make themselves decent under it. "Good morning, puppy." Seokjin plastered a smile on his face, hoping the three-year-old wasn't picking up on anything as he raised his arms for Seokjin to pick him up and place him on the bed with them.

Jaehyun yawned and rubbed his eyes while snuggling up to Seokjin. "It Thanksgiving." He mumbled.

"It is Thanksgiving." Namjoon confirmed, reaching out to rub his back.

"We watch parade." Jaehyun said. "And no nana's house." It was obvious he was repeating the conversation they'd had the night before when the parents had been explaining how Thanksgiving that year was going to be different than previous years.

"That's right." Seokjin murmured, pressing a kiss to the three-year old's head. "No nana's house." Seokjin cuddled the three-year-old in silence for a moment until Hyunbin lifted his head up in his crib next to the bed, the 10-month-old looking around sleepily until his eyes landed on Seokjin, at which point a bright smile appeared on his face. "Good morning, Binnie."

"Eomma!" Hyunbin moved to sit up in his crib. "Momo!"

Seokjin gently nudged Jaehyun out of his lap. "Can you snuggle in between me and Daddy while Binnie drinks his moyu?" Jae nodded and got comfortable against the pillows as Seokjin stood up so he could get Hyunbin out of his crib.

"You wanna try to go potty and then come back?" Namjoon suggested. Jaehyun didn't respond for the longest time, but once Seokjin was back in the bed and Hyunbin was suckling happily on his breast, the three-year-old nodded and sat up, holding his arms up for Namjoon to pick him up and carry him out to the bathroom.

The day started off feeling odd as the family eventually migrated to the living room to watch the parade. For the first time in seven years since Seokjin had moved to America, he wasn't having to spend the entire morning in the kitchen. He wasn't having to rush to make food for Namjoon's family. He wasn't having to panic on if what he cooked was American enough for his in laws taste buds. At first it almost felt wrong, muscle memory trying to push him to not just sit on the couch with his mate and pups and actually watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for once. But as the morning went on, he relaxed and was able to enjoy the holiday for what felt like the first time ever.

From getting to stay in their pajamas all day, to repeatedly playing CandyLand with Jaehyun, to spending the pups' nap time having sexy times with Namjoon instead of using the time to recharge from spending the day with soul sucking people. The day was perfect. And as Seokjin set their chosen Thanksgiving dinner on the table--bulgogi, cucumber salad, rice, and kimchi--he could easily say that the holiday was now in his top five most looked forward to days of the year. Especially if that's what it would be for the following years to come.

As the day came to an end, and the pups were in their beds for the night, Seokjin poured himself a generous glass of wine before joining Namjoon on the couch, getting comfortable in the alpha's lap. "Were you okay today?" He asked, as he knew that while he immensely enjoyed the day, it may have been the opposite for Namjoon as it was the first holiday since they had gone no contact with his family--with the exception of his sister who he still texted regularly.

"Surprisingly yes." Namjoon said, wrapping his arms tightly around Seokjin's waist. "It was definitely weird at first. But you were happy and enjoying yourself, Jaehyun wasn't spending the majority of the day crying and throwing food. I don't think I realized just how bad Thanksgiving actually was for us until today." He nuzzled Seokjin's cheek, pressing a soft kiss to it afterwards. "I'm sorry."

"Stop that." Seokjin quietly scolded him. "No more apologizing." He lightly pressed his lips to Namjoon's as the alpha hummed in agreement. "I can't wait to make more traditions that are just ours." He whispered when he pulled away. Namjoon gently squeezed his waist as he kissed him again.

Seokjin and Namjoon worked together to clean up from breakfast while Jaehyun played at the table with his new playdough set. Hyunbin, however, was crawling around the living room. "Be careful, Binnie." Seokjin said as the 11-month-old pulled himself to his feet using the couch.

"Daddy!" Jaehyun called out, holding up a lump of playdough. "Help make a sheep!"

"Just one second, Jae." Namjoon quickly finished loading the dishwasher and started it before joining the three-year-old at the table.

Seokjin padded to the living room and sat on the floor near where Hyunbin was still cruising along the couch. "Are you having fun, puppy?" Seokjin smiled at him. Hyunbin returned the smile, giggling as he let go of the couch and took a few steps towards Seokjin before falling into his lap. However, Seokjin's excitement over the pup's first steps was soon overshadowed as he realized that the 11-month-old was panting a bit. "Why are you breathing so hard, puppy?" Seokjin murmured, rubbing Hyunbin's chest as a tiny cough escaped the pup. "Let's calm down some, okay?" He pressed a kiss to Hyunbin's forehead before lightly scenting him.

"Binnie okay?" Namjoon asked worriedly as he flattened Jaehyun's playdough for him.

"Yeah." Seokjin nodded a bit. "I think he just got a bit excited while trying to walk." He heard his phone buzz on the coffee table and reached out to grab it, seeing a text from his mom. "My mom booked her flight!" He said happily. "She's coming in two weeks and will stay for two weeks."

Jaehyun perked up in his chair. "Halmeoni's coming?"

Namjoon chuckled and ruffled his hair. "Yeah, Halmeoni's coming for Binnie's first birthday just like she came for yours." Jaehyun cheered as he continued playing with his playdough.

Seokjin smiled down at Hyunbin who was finally calmed down. "Are you excited to see Halmeoni again?" Hyunbin responded by shifting in Seokjin's lap and standing up, gripping the omega's sweater as he nuzzled his scent gland.

***

"I not go to sleep." Jaehyun said defiantly. "Wait for Halmeoni."

"I know you want to see Halmeoni." Seokjin murmured while nursing Hyunbin. "I do too. But it's gonna be a long time before she's here." Jaehyun pouted and crossed his arms over his chest. "The sooner you go to be and get a good night's sleep, the faster Halmeoni will be here."

Namjoon hummed as he returned to the room with a sippy cup of warm milk to hopefully help the three-year-old fall asleep. "Halmeoni can't come until you've gone to sleep." He said, sitting next to the three-year old's bed and handing him the cup. "When you open your eyes, she'll be here." Jaehyun continued to frown but begrudgingly began sipping at the warm milk. Namjoon stayed by his bed, guiding him to lay down and rubbing his back.

By the time Seokjin was done nursing Hyunbin, Jaehyun had fallen asleep. He carefully rose to his feet and gently placed Hyunbin in his crib, carefully not to hype him up as he was nearly asleep. He lightly ran a finger over Hyunbin's nose, feeling his heart warm at the sleepy smile the 11-month-old gave him before closing his eyes. With both boys down for the night, the couple slipped out of their bedroom, closing the door quietly behind them. "Time to get this place cleaned up." Seokjin said, clapping his hands together.

The two worked to clean up the clutter that was inevitable when one had a three-year-old and almost one year old, organizing their toys into their respective storage bins around the living room and cleaning up the dishes from dinner. When the time came for Namjoon to leave for the airport to pick Seokjin's mother up, he made sure to give Seokjin a kiss. "Be back in a couple of hours."

"Be safe." Seokjin said, giving Namjoon a few more kisses before letting him put his shoes on and go.

When Namjoon got to the airport, he only had to wait for about 20 minutes before his mother-in-law came down the escalator. "Hi, Eomeoni." Namjoon greeted her with a warm hug. "How were your flights?"

"Long." She sighed, letting out a small chuckle as she pulled back. "How are you and Seokjin? The boys?"

"We're good." Namjoon said, grabbing her suitcase and carrying it for her as they made their way out of the airport. "They're all excited to see you. Jaehyun fought going to sleep as always."

"That sweet boy." Seokjin's mother beamed, clearly relishing how much her grandson loved her. "I can't believe it's been a year since I last saw them." Her smile faltered a bit as she looked over at Namjoon. "I'm also sorry about what happened with your mother."

Namjoon gave her a sad smile. "Me too."

45 minutes later, they entered the apartment and saw that Seokjin already had the couch pulled out into a bed and had it made up for his mother to sleep on. The 32-year-old omega was in the kitchen, finishing up a mug of tea. "Eomma!" He called out quietly, hurrying to hug his mother in greeting. "I missed you!"

"I missed you too, my Seokjinnie." She hugged him tightly before pulling back to accept the tea. "The boys sleeping soundly."

"Thankfully." Seokjin said, leading her to sit at their dining table so they could catch up. "We had to tell Jaehyun you wouldn't come unless he went to sleep."

"You always fought sleep too." His mother mused.

"Oh, he definitely takes after Seokjin in all the ways. There's no denying he's Seokjin's pup." Namjoon said, laughing at the playful glare his mate sent him. "I'm gonna go shower now." Namjoon said, leaning down to press a kiss to Seokjin's cheek. He then went around to give his mother-in-law another hug before padding off to their bedroom to gather fresh underwear and pajamas for after his shower.

Babbling from the pup monitor woke Seokjin up. He groaned quietly as he lifted his head, looking at the screen on his nightstand to see that Hyunbin was standing in his crib, holding onto the rails as he attempted to talk across the room a still sleeping Jaehyun. Seokjin pulled himself out of Namjoon's hold and climbed out of bed, yawning as he padded out of the room.

His mom was already awake and in the kitchen, standing over a pot on the stove. "You don't have to make breakfast for us, Eomma." He said as he had every morning since she'd arrived in America.

"I want to." She insisted.

Seokjin let out a quiet sigh but continued on to the boys' bedroom, quietly pushing open the door so as not to wake Jaehyun before he was ready. "Good morning, puppy." He whispered, immediately capturing Hyunbin's attention.

Hyunbin smiled brightly and reached one hand out toward him. "Eomma!"

"Did you sleep well?" Seokjin asked as he walked over to his crib and picked him up, peppering his face in kisses until he was giggling. "Happy birthday, Binnie."

Hyunbin giggled and nuzzled against Seokjin's cheek before tugging at his sweater. "Momo."

Seokjin hitched the toddler on his hip and carried him out of the bedroom. "Let's go find something to watch on TV for a bit." He sat on the couch and, as Hyunbin maneuvered his way under his sweater, turned on Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. Once the show was playing on the TV, Seokjin adjusted his hold on Hyunbin so the toddler could be more comfortable as he nursed.

Namjoon came out of the bedroom moments later, running his hand through his hair. "Mornin'" He mumbled to everybody as he sat on the couch with Seokjin and Hyunbin. "Happy birthday, Hyunbin." He said, lightly tickling the toddler's foot.

"Don't distract him." Seokjin playfully scolded Namjoon as Hyunbin unlatched to be able to giggle.

"I don't think anything can distract him." Namjoon said as Hyunbin took the opportunity to push Seokjin's sweater up to expose his other breast, latching onto that one instead.

Seokjin scrunched his nose slightly. "I wish you could pick one and stick with it until it's empty instead of constantly switching back and forth." He said, lightly patting Hyunbin's back.

After switching boobs a few more times, Hyunbin was finally done nursing just as Jaehyun stumbled out of their bedroom, rubbing his eyes. "Morning, buddy." Namjoon said, holding his arms out. Jaehyun immediately ran to him, climbing into the alpha's lap.

"No school today?" Jaehyun asked.

"That's right, no school today." Namjoon confirmed. "Daddy took the day off so we could celebrate Binnie's birthday."

Jaehyun sat up and reached over to poke Hyunbin's face. "Happy birthday, Binnie." Hyunbin laughed and grabbed at Jaehyun's finger, making the older pup giggle.

Seokjin's grandmother came out of the kitchen at that point. "The yukgaejang is ready if anyone's hungry."

"You ready to go have some breakfast?" Seokjin asked and Hyunbin immediately wiggled out of his lap down to the floor while Jaehyun snuggled against Namjoon.

"I'll carry you to the table." Namjoon chuckled, standing up from the couch to do exactly that.

Seokjin picked some meat and vegetables out of the stew and scattered them across Hyunbin's highchair tray. The toddler immediately dug in, playing with the food and occasionally bringing a piece to his mouth. Jaehyun, however, pushed his spoon around without ever actually taking a bite. "You're not hungry, puppy?" Seokjin asked and Jaehyun shook his head. "Okay, we can eat a little bit later."

"Do you have to go to the restaurant today at all?" Seokjin's mom asked.

"I'm gonna try not to." Seokjin said. "But I did tell Yeonjun to text me if things start getting hectic downstairs. Although he most likely won't even if the place is burning down."

"It's amazing the two of you have worked so well together all these years with how stubborn the both of you are." Namjoon chuckled.

"Yeonjun's a good worker." Seokjin said. "I'm gonna give him another raise."

Jaehyun sat up on his knees in his chair, reaching over to pat Seokjin's arm. "Wanna go see Yeonjun."

"You want to go see Yeonjun?" Seokjin repeated and Jaehyun nodded. "We can go say hi to him later when he's actually at the restaurant." Jaehyun was satisfied with that and sat back down in his chair, entertaining himself by running his finger back and forth over the edge of the table.

After they finished breakfast, they all got dressed. By the time everyone was ready for the day, Yeonjun was definitely downstairs to start the food prep for the day, so Seokjin took the boys down to the restaurant to see him. "Yeonjun!" Jaehyun cheered as he ran ahead of Seokjin into the empty restaurant, stopping just outside the kitchen as he knew he couldn't go in there without Seokjin.

"Hi, Jae!" Yeonjun greeted him, coming over to give the three-year-old a fist bump. "And Binnie? To what do I owe this pleasure?"

"Jaehyun wanted to come down and see his favorite person in the world." Seokjin chuckled.

Jaehyun turned to Seokjin very seriously. "Eomma is my favorite."

Seokjin smiled. "Alright, second favorite."

"Daddy is-"

"Whatever number favorite." Seokjin said, ruffling Jaehyun's hair.

"I'm honored to even make the list." Yeonjun said, holding his arms out and waiting for Jaehyun to come up and give him a hug. "And to be paid a visit by the birthday boy." He waved at Hyunbin who giggled and cuddled further into Seokjin's arms.

"Binnie is one now." Jaehyun informed him.

"Woah, he's getting so big." Yeonjun said with wide eyes that had Jaehyun giggling.

"He really is." Seokjin murmured, pressing a kiss to the 12-month old's forehead. "Okay, Jae, we gotta let Yeonjun work." Jaehyun pouted but walked over to take Seokjin's hand. "Say bye bye."

"Bye bye!" Jaehyun looked back and waved at Yeonjun until they were out of the restaurant.

Seokjin practically ran into the preschool, punching his parent code into the keypad by the door. He flew down the hall to Namjoon's office, only calming down when he saw Hyunbin safe and happy in Namjoon's lap. "Come here, puppy." Seokjin took the toddler into his arms, peppering his face in kisses. "What exactly happened again?" Seokjin asked his mate while holding their youngest pup closely.

"His teachers noticed him wheezing a bit during recess but didn't think much of it." Namjoon said. "Then during his morning nap, he had a really bad coughing fit and struggled to catch his breath afterwards. He's doing fine now but I went ahead and checked him out and called you because I figured you'd want him home with you."

"Thank you." Seokjin said, leaning down to give Namjoon a small kiss before turning his attention back to Hyunbin. "Eomma did get you an appointment with Dr. Hernandez, just to make sure you're not getting sick." Seokjin had been debating waiting until the toddler's upcoming wellness checkup to ask his pediatrician about the wheezing and breathing problems he'd been displaying, especially since they had gotten more frequent since his first birthday. But after his episode that day, Seokjin felt it was safer to go ahead and make an appointment just for that. "Can you tell Daddy bye bye?"

Hyunbin waved at Namjoon, who immediately smiled and reached up to squeeze his hand. "I'll see you later, okay?" Hyunbin babbled in response, pulling his hand back.

Seokjin leaned down to give Namjoon another kiss. "Love you." Namjoon repeated the words and kissed Seokjin one more time before turning to his computer to resume his work as Seokjin left.

There was a decent wait time at the clinic, thanks to them being right in the middle of flu and RSV season--not to mention the uptick in covid cases yet again. It was getting harder to keep Hyunbin entertained by the time they were finally called back. The nurse took Hyunbin's vitals and wrote down Seokjin's reasoning for bringing the toddler in that day. There was another brief waiting period for Dr. Hernandez to come in, during which Hyunbin began coughing and breathing heavily again. Seokjin rubbed his back comfortingly as the doctor finally entered the room.

After checking Hyunbin over himself and ruling out some possibilities, Dr. Hernandez sat back and asked, "Is there any history of asthma in the family?"

Seokjin furrowed his eyebrows a bit as he tried to think of anyone he knew that had asthma. "Not on my side. My mate was adopted and doesn't know anything about his biological family, so it's possible…"

Dr. Hernandez hummed. "Well, Hyunbin is a bit too young to do a lung function test, so what we'll do is a chest x-ray to get a good look at his lungs, make sure it's not pneumonia or something else that could be causing these symptoms. Then we'll go from there."

They were taken to the x-ray room, Hyunbin giggling away until another coughing fit racked through him. Once the x-ray results were in, Dr. Hernandez said, "The x-ray didn't show any other causes, so it is pointing towards asthma, so we'll go ahead and treat it as that. I'm gonna prescribe him an inhaler with a nebulizer, give that to him twice a day. Then in a couple years if the symptoms are still persistent, we can do a formal lung function test and adjust treatment as needed."

Seokjin nodded. "That sounds good." He pressed a kiss to Hyunbin's forehead as Dr. Hernandez went to retrieve a sample inhaler for Seokjin to use until the prescription came in. "Is it possible to get a second one to keep at his school?" Seokjin asked. "So that we don't have to worry about it getting left behind or anything?"

"Of course." Dr. Hernandez nodded before showing Seokjin how to place the face mask over Hyunbin's mouth and nose while administering the medicine. Hyunbin did not like the feeling, whimpering and squirming away, and Seokjin knew it was going to be fun figuring out ways to keep the toddler calm while trying to give him his inhaler.

***

"Okay, Hyunbin." Namjoon said softly as he sat on the floor next to the toddler, his inhaler at the ready. "Keep your eyes on Mickey Mouse." With the 12-month-old distracted by the TV, Namjoon managed to place the face mask over his mouth and nose to administer the medicine.

While Namjoon was doing that, Seokjin was finishing up their oatmeal for breakfast with Jaehyun sitting on the counter next to him. Then the three-year-old alpha suddenly tensed up and started squirming on the counter. "What's up, puppy?" Seokjin asked.

"I need down." Jaehyun requested, holding his arms out for Seokjin to pick him up. Seokjin picked Jaehyun up and set him on the floor and the three-year-old immediately took off running toward the bathroom.

Confused, Seokjin took the now finished oatmeal off the heat and turned the burner off before padding to the bathroom after him. There, Seokjin found Jaehyun sitting on the toilet, grunting a bit. "Did you have to go potty?" Seokjin asked in surprise, as that was the first time the three-year-old had ever gone to the bathroom on his own unprompted.

Jaehyun didn't respond at first. Then his face relaxed, and he peered between his legs into the toilet. "I pooped!" Jaehyun exclaimed, looking up at Seokjin with a bright smile.

"You pooped?" Seokjin asked just as excitedly, coming over to check and make sure it was the real thing. "You pooped in the potty! Good job, Jaehyun!"

Jaehyun clapped for himself before looking at Seokjin serious. "Eomma gotta clean my butt."

Seokjin chuckled. "That's right, Eomma's gotta clean your butt, so stand up." After making sure Jaehyun was wiped clean, letting the three-year-old flush the toilet himself, and helping him wash his hands properly, Seokjin picked Jaehyun up and carried him back out to the living room. "He pooped in the potty!"

Namjoon looked up from where he'd just finished giving Hyunbin his inhaler, eyes widening. "You did?" Jaehyun nodded happily. "Yay, Jaehyun!" The alpha cheered, rising to his feet to take the three-year-old from Seokjin's arms. "You ready to start wearing big boy undies again?" Jaehyun nodded again, nuzzling against Namjoon's scent gland.

Chapter Text

Seokjin groaned when Namjoon's alarm went off, rolling over to snuggle up against the alpha. "Call in sick." He mumbled.

"I can't." Namjoon mumbled back, turning his alarm off before holding Seokjin tightly. "I have to go to work."

"Let's have a family day." Seokjin whined.

Namjoon let out a quiet chuckle, pressing a kiss to Seokjin's forehead. "You know Jaehyun's excited about the class valentine's party today."

"Fuck." Seokjin groaned, making Namjoon laugh again as he pulled his head back and squinted his eyes open. "You promise really good sexy times tonight?"

"If you're feeling up to it." Namjoon agreed, leaning in to press his lips to Seokjin's.

Seokjin savored the kiss, pressing as close to Namjoon as was physically possible until the alpha pulled away and climbed out of bed to get in the shower. As Namjoon left the room, Seokjin rolled over and buried his face in his pillow, trying to get as much sleep as he could before the inevitable thud that was Namjoon dropping something in the shower sounded through the wall, as that was the omega's self-appointed timer for getting out of bed. When he heard the thud followed by Namjoon quietly cursing, Seokjin forced himself to get out of bed.

He started off his morning routine by prepping the boys' things for school. He cleaned out Jaehyun's backpack and Hyunbin's diaper bag as he did every morning to make sure he knew exactly was getting put back in. He put Jaehyun's communication folder back into his backpack along with a pull up for nap time and his box of valentine's cards. Then he got three bags of breast milk from the freezer, as they weren't concerned with weaning Hyunbin off the bottle at school just yet, and placed those in a cooler inside the toddler's diaper bag along with some extra diapers even though he knew they should still be good on the pack Namjoon had taken to school at the beginning of the year as well as a box of valentine's cards. Then he went to the boys' bedroom and tried to quietly retrieve an extra change of clothes for each of them to put in their bags.

Unfortunately for him, Hyunbin was a light sleeper and immediately sat up in his crib as soon as Seokjin opened a drawer. "Eomma!"

Seokjin softly shushed him and quickly grabbed the clothes before walking over to the toddler's crib. "Let's let your brother sleep a little bit longer." He whispered as he picked Hyunbin up, propping him on his hip.

Hyunbin tugged at Seokjin's sweater the whole time the omega tried to put the clothes in their bags and zip them up. When he finally completed the task, Seokjin sat on the couch and turned Sesame Street on at a low volume before lifting up his sweater so Hyunbin could nurse as he wanted.

Namjoon came out of the bathroom soon after and walked over to the couch before going to their bedroom to get dressed beyond the underwear he was wearing. "You're already awake, Binnie?" Namjoon asked softly, leaning down to press a kiss to the toddler's forehead. "I'll get Jaehyun up once I'm dressed." Seokjin hummed and tilted his head for a kiss, smiling even as Namjoon pulled back to go finish getting ready.

When Hyunbin finished nursing, Seokjin carried him to the boys' bedroom to get dressed and found Jaehyun crying in only his dinosaur underwear as he fought Namjoon on getting dressed. "Jaehyun, can you make Eomma's heart happy and get dressed?" Seokjin asked with a light tone as he laid Hyunbin down to change his diaper.

"Don't wanna wear that!" Jaehyun whined, swatting at the button-down shirt and jeans that he himself had picked out the night before specifically for his class' valentine's party.

"No hitting." Namjoon said, grabbing Jaehyun's hand when the three-year-old then went to smack him instead. "You don't want to wear your party clothes anymore?"

"No!" Jaehyun sobbed, flapping his other arm angrily.

"Take a deep breath, puppy." Seokjin said. "You don't have to wear them." Namjoon pulled Jaehyun into his lap and rubbed his back comfortingly as Jaehyun tried to calm himself down, the three-year-old rubbing furiously at his face to dry his tears. "Get the clothes out of his backpack. I'll put something else in there." Namjoon nodded and carefully rose to his feet, carrying Jaehyun out to the living room.

Soon enough, Jaehyun and Hyunbin were both full dressed with their hair combed and teeth brushed. Namjoon was putting their shoes on by the door while Seokjin grabbed a pear blueberry smoothie pouch for Jaehyun and a peach banana one for Hyunbin out of the fridge to tide them over for the next hour until breakfast would be served at the school. "Have a good day, puppies." Seokjin said as he handed the pouches to Namjoon before crouching in front of the boys. "Eomma loves you."

"Love you Eomma." Jaehyun said, hugging Seokjin tightly while Hyunbin giggled and poked at Seokjin's mouth.

"I'll see you when you get home from school." Seokjin said, peppering Jaehyun's face in kisses, then Hyunbin's. Then he stood up and pressed his lips to Namjoon's, murmuring an 'I love you' for his mate before letting the three of them leave for the day.

***

At the end of the day, once the boys were in bed following their Valentine's Day tradition of pizza and a movie, Seokjin and Namjoon were in their own bed, a purr rumbling in the omega's chest from satisfaction at being knotted. "I see you're happy now." Namjoon chuckled, pressing closer to Seokjin from behind, holding him tightly with the arm around his waist.

"Very." Seokjin hummed, tilting his head to smile at Namjoon over his shoulder. "But I'm always happy with you and the boys."

Namjoon smiled, lightly rubbing his nose against Seokjin's. "I love you."

"I know." Seokjin murmured. "I love you too." Seokjin pressed his lips to Namjoon's, moaning into his mouth when the alpha started thrusting his hips lightly again as his knot began to go down.

Chapter Text

Seokjin paused in clearing off the table to giggle at Hyunbin's messy face. "Were those dumplings yummy, Binnie?" He grabbed a wet wipe from the pack on the nearby counter to wipe the toddler's face off, all while the 13-month-old continued to try to eat. Once Hyunbin's face was clean, Seokjin glanced over at Jaehyun to see that he was pushing what was left of his food around his plate. "Are you all done, Jae?" The three-year-old nodded. "And your tummy is all happy?" Jae nodded again. "Alright, then it's bath time."

"Bath time, Binnie!" Jaehyun exclaimed, climbing out of his chair and running toward the bathroom.

"I'll finish cleaning up in here." Namjoon said as Seokjin unbuckled Hyunbin from his booster seat. Seokjin hummed in agreement and leaned over to kiss the alpha before propping the toddler on his hip and carrying him to the bathroom.

When Seokjin entered the room, Jaehyun was already crouching in front of their bath toy basket to pick out what they would play with that night. Seokjin set Hyunbin down on the ground and knelt next to the tub, reaching out to turn the water on. "We play with the farm animals tonight." Jaehyun decided, speaking mostly to his little brother. "We can share, Binnie. There's eight animals so we each have four." Seokjin couldn't help but smile at the sight, as sharing toys--particularly any of his farm themed toys--had always been a struggle for the three-year-old. "Here, you have the frog, the owl, the duck, and the horse. And I have the chicken, the pig, the cow, and the sheep." Hyunbin laughed as he took the frog in one hand and the horse in the other.

"What are the animals going to do during bath time?" Seokjin asked as he started to undress Hyunbin.

Jaehyun hummed thoughtfully, dropping the animals to undress himself as he thought about it. "They make a leprechaun trap."

"A what now?" Seokjin asked in confusion.

"We built a leprechaun trap at school." Jaehyun said as if Seokjin were stupid for not knowing that. "To catch a leprechaun for St. Patrick's Day."

Man, Americans are weird, Seokjin thought. "That sounds like a fun thing for your animals to do during bath time." Seokjin said, turning the water off now that the bath was full enough. "Go pee pee on the potty real quick so you don't pee in the bath tonight." While Jaehyun hurried to do that, Seokjin picked up Hyunbin and placed him in the water, quickly washing his hair before Jaehyun joined him and distracted him with their game.

When Jaehyun joined the bath, he immediately took charge of having the animals 'build a leprechaun trap', even going as far as to instruct Hyunbin on what to do. Of course, since Hyunbin wasn't capable of following those instructions just yet, it didn't take very long for Jaehyun to grow frustrated. "He's not playing right!" Jaehyun whined, bouncing on his knees in the water while Hyunbin continued to happily splash in the bath and mouth at the toys Jaehyun had allowed him to have.

"Well, puppy, he's still little." Seokjin reminded him. "He can't play the way you do yet."

"But we have to build a trap for the leprechaun!" Jaehyun exclaimed.

"I think you and your animals are doing a very good job at building it." Seokjin said, ruffling his hair a bit. "Now let Eomma wash your hair real quick."

Jaehyun briefly cowered back against the far corner of the tub. "I don't like it in my face."

Seokjin nodded, gesturing for Jaehyun to come to him. "I know, Eomma will make sure your face stays dry." Seokjin grabbed the pitcher he used for washing their hair and filled it up with warm water, guiding Jaehyun to tilt his head back and using one hand to protect his face from any water that dripped down that way.

After their bath, Seokjin wrapped Hyunbin in a towel while Jaehyun took off running completely naked around the apartment. "Can't catch me, Daddy!"

"I bet I can!" Seokjin smiled at the squeals of laughter Jaehyun let out as Namjoon playfully chased him around the living room while he carried Hyunbin to the boys' bedroom.

By the time Seokjin had Hyunbin in a fresh diaper and his pajamas, Namjoon had caught Jaehyun and was carrying him into the bedroom. "I wanna play with Teddy and Fluffy!" The three-year-old exclaimed, laughing when Namjoon dropped him onto his bed.

"You gotta put some clothes on first." Seokjin said. "Then you can play with them while Binnie has moyu."

Jaehyun nodded. "Then its bedtime." He said, knowing the nightly routine by heart.

While Seokjin settled on the couch to nurse Hyunbin, Namjoon helped Jaehyun get their guinea pigs out of their enclosure, watching him carefully to make sure Jaehyun was being gentle with them. While the three-year-old had always treated his pets right from the moment they brought him home, he was still only three, so Namjoon always proceeded with caution when helping Jaehyun tend to the guinea pigs. Jaehyun giggled the whole time, pressing soft kisses to the guinea pigs' fur as he gently played with them.

When Hyunbin finished nursing, Jaehyun whined a bit about having to say goodnight to Teddy and Fluffy, but thankfully he didn't throw a tantrum as he did some nights when it was time for bed. That night he settled for just pouting as Namjoon carried him to bed, only smiling when Namjoon climbed in his bed with him to read him his bedtime story. "Goodnight, Jae." Namjoon said softly after finishing the story, pressing a kiss to the three-year old's forehead.

"Night night, Daddy." Jaehyun said, sitting up to give Namjoon another kiss before settling back down in his bed.

Namjoon then went over to Hyunbin's crib to kiss him goodnight while Seokjin went to Jaehyun. "Eomma loves you, Jaehyun." Seokjin murmured, tucking Jaehyun's blanket more securely around him before pressing a kiss to his cheek.

"Love you Eomma." Jaehyun whispered, kissing Seokjin's cheek.

Chapter Text

“Eomma!” Hyunbin whimpered, squirming a bit in Seokjin’s arms as he fought sleep.

Seokjin gently shushed him, swaying with the 14 month old in his arms. “Just a short little nap so you won’t be all grumpy.” He whispered, leaning down to press a kiss to Hyunbin’s nose. Hyunbin gave him a sleepy smile in response before slowly closing his eyes. Seokjin continued to sway with him until he was sure Hyunbin was completely out. Then he gently laid him down in his crib.

With Hyunbin down for his nap, Seokjin turned to check on Jaehyun and was delighted to find the three year old still sleeping away in his bed with no signs of waking up any time soon. Despite his and Namjoon’s best efforts, they’d never been able to get the boys on the same nap schedule when at home on the weekends or during school breaks. Jaehyun would always be ready for a nap—whether the three year old admitted it or not—directly after lunch and would typically be asleep long before Hyunbin began showing his tired signs. Then by the time Hyunbin went down, Jaehyun would be ready to get up and play, giving the parents no time to themselves in the afternoons. But apparently their morning walk and time at the park had tired Jaehyun out enough that he would sleep for longer than an hour, which was definitely a success in Seokjin’s eyes.

Tiptoeing out of the room, Seokjin quietly closed the door, taking care not to make any noise, before practically running to the kitchen where Namjoon was preparing Jaehyun’s snack. “Jae’s still asleep!” He whispered excitedly.

“He is?” Namjoon asked, smiling when Seokjin nodded. “We should take advantage of that then, am I right?”

They hurried to their room and immediately fell onto the bed in a tangle of limbs, their lips locked together in a passionate kiss. However, their kiss soon began to lose its heat as the chance to not have to be constantly on the move allowed for exhaustion to take over. “Sorry.” Seokjin mumbled as a yawn forced him to break the kiss.

“It has been a long week hasn’t it?” Namjoon mumbled, attempting to keep the spark going by trailing kisses along the omega’s neck, but obviously not being fully into it.

“We can always have sex later, right?” Seokjin asked, earning a him from Namjoon in response.

They must have both fallen asleep shortly after that because Seokjin was suddenly being woken by Jaehyun using him to steady himself as he climbed onto the bed. “Hi, puppy.” Seokjin mumbled sleepily, rubbing his eyes.

“I sleep with Eomma and Daddy.” Jaehyun said, climbing over Seokjin and settling in between him and Namjoon.

“Yes, sleep with Eomma and Daddy.” Seokjin agreed, rolling over and stretching his arm out over the three year old.

That didn’t last very long as soon Jaehyun began wiggling in between them, waking Namjoon up too in the process. “Let’s go play farm.” Jaehyun requested, sitting up.

“Okay, we can go play farm.” Namjoon didn’t put up a fight as he climbed out of bed with a yawn, grunting when Jaehyun jumped at him to be carried.

***

Namjoon had Jaehyun propped on one hip and Hyunbin on the other as he left their bedroom. “We gotta be extra quiet.” He whispered to the two boys. “We don’t want to ruin the surprise for Eomma.” Jaehyun made a show of covering his mouth as he giggled.

The alpha had already put a package of store bought croissants on a baking sheet and into the oven to be warmed, a buttery scent permeating the air as they entered the kitchen. “What kind of toppings should we use for Eomma’s croissants?” Namjoon asked as he set both boys on the counter.

“Sprinkles!” Jaehyun exclaimed.

“Yay!” Hyunbin cheered while clapping as if agreeing with his brother.

Namjoon chuckled. “Just sprinkles or should we do other things too?”

“We should have lots of stuff.” Jaehyun said before listing off various ingredients. “Like strawberries and whipped cream and cheese and cimmanun and chocolate and-“

“Okay.” Namjoon chuckled, ruffling Jaehyun’s hair. “How about I just get everything out and we can make it like a buffet for Eomma?” Jaehyun nodded and Hyunbin let out another cheer.

Namjoon pulled out everything in their pantry and fridge that could possibly be a croissant topping and set it down on the counter. Jaehyun took it upon himself to arrange the items in a line as Namjoon took the now warm croissants out of the oven, taking care not to burn himself again. Unfortunately Hyunbin kept trying to grab and mouth at different bottles, something Jaehyun was having none of it. “Stop it!” Jaehyun whined, swatting his hand towards his little brother.

“Jaehyun, we do not hit.” Namjoon said, intervening before Jaehyun could try to hit Hyunbin again.

“What’s going on in here?” Namjoon looked up to see Seokjin padding into the room.

“Eomma!” Jaehyun wiggled for Namjoon to put him down and ran over to the omega. “Happy Mother’s Day!”

“Aww, thank you, puppy.” Seokjin picked Jaehyun up and pressed a kiss to his cheek. “Did you make me breakfast?”

Jaehyun nodded, pointing towards the counter. “It’s a buffet!”

“You’re so sweet.” Seokjin kissed Jaehyun’s cheek again before scooping Hyunbin off the counter to kiss him too. “I love you boys so much.” He said before smiling at Namjoon. “And you.”

Namjoon returned the smile and leaned in to softly press his lips to Seokjin’s, much to Jaehyun’s amusement.

Chapter Text

Seokjin smiled as he entered the boys' room and found Hyunbin already standing up in his crib. "Did you have such a good nap, puppy?" Hyunbin giggled and reached up for Seokjin, who happily scooped the toddler into his arms and peppered his face in kisses. "Are you ready for our playdate today?"

"Eomma," was Hyunbin's response, the 16-month-old patting at Seokjin's nose.

"Let's change your diaper so we can go see our friends." Seokjin pressed another kiss to Hyunbin's cheek before sitting on the ground with him to change his diaper.

Once Hyunbin was in a clean diaper, Seokjin carried him out to the living room where Jaehyun immediately abandoned his game of farm with Namjoon. "Is it time to go now?" The three-year-old asked excitedly.

"After you clean up your toys." Seokjin said, causing Jaehyun to pout and angrily flop onto the floor. "We can't leave until all the toys are picked up." Seokjin insisted as he set Hyunbin down so he could make sure their diaper bag was ready for their playdate.

It took a while of Jaehyun writhing and whining on the floor before he finally gave in and began cleaning up his toys. "Good job, Jaehyun." Namjoon made sure to praise him, helping clean up to keep him engaged until he was done.

"Will Hana be there?" Jaehyun asked as Namjoon led him over to the shoe rack to put his shoes on.

"I don't know, puppy." Seokjin said honestly as he put Hyunbin's shoes on his feet. "Her eomma just had a puppy a few days ago, remember?" Jaehyun nodded. "Remember how hard it was for Eomma and Daddy to take you places right after Binnie was born?" Jaehyun nodded again with a tiny pout. "So we'll just have to see when we get there."

"I hope she will." Jaehyun said. "She's my best friend."

"I know she is, puppy." Seokjin lightly ran his fingers through the three-year old's hair. "Now come on, let's get going."

They loaded into the car and drove to Taehyung and Jungkook's house, arriving at the same time as Yoongi's mother with Hana. "Hana!" Jaehyun cheered, wiggling to try to get out of his car seat faster.

"You gotta be still so I can get you unbuckled." Namjoon said with a slight chuckle, finally freeing the three-year-old after another moment.

Jaehyun jumped out of the car and ran up the driveway to the two-year-old. "Hi, Hana!"

"Hi, Jae!" Hana hugged Jaehyun tightly, the pair giggling at each other.

The front door opened, and Taehyung waddled out onto the porch with a smile while Minhee ran down to greet her best friends. "Thank you for bringing Hana, Mrs. Min." Taehyung called out to her.

"No problem." Yoongi's mom waved. "I have to run some errands and I'll pick her up when I'm done."

"Daddy got me gaming chair!" Minhee exclaimed after hugging Hana and Jaehyun. "Come see it!" She tugged at their hands to pull them inside the house.

As they got inside, they found the living room covered with boxes obviously in preparation for the move to their new house by the end of the month. "Be careful, puppy!" Seokjin called out to Jaehyun as he navigated his way through the clutter behind Hana and Minhee. He followed them into Minhee's room where he found that the gaming chair was a toddler sized plastic chair shaped like a gaming chair with a toy keyboard and toy headset. Seokjin set Hyunbin down on the ground and the 16-month-old immediately toddled off toward a toy guitar sitting on top of one of the boxes of toys that Jungkook and Taehyung had clearly been trying to pack away. "Have fun. Play nicely." He directed that mostly at Jaehyun before leaving the room to rejoin the others.

While the pups played, Seokjin and Namjoon helped Jungkook continue to pack while Taehyung pouted from the couch. "You guys don't have to do this." Taehyung said. "I'm more than capable of packing up my own house."

"You should be resting as much as you can though." Seokjin argued.

"That's what I've been telling him." Jungkook said, walking over to the couch and leaning down to press his lips to Taehyung's. "You're already doing way more work than the three of us combined." He gently rubbed Taehyung's stomach.

Taehyung let out a quiet snort. "Ain't that the truth." Jungkook pressed a kiss to the omega's stomach before resuming packing.

"Have you heard from Jimin today?" Seokjin asked Taehyung, earning a head shake in response. "Me neither."

"He's probably consumed with bonding with Hajoon." Taehyung said. "I'm sure we'll start getting the photo dumps and gushing over how 'perfect' his pup is tomorrow or the next day."

At that moment, crying rang out from Minhee's bedroom, specifically Jaehyun's crying. Seokjin hurried into the bedroom and found the three-year-old starfished on the floor as he sobbed. "What happened, puppy?" Seokjin asked in a gentle tone, pulling Jaehyun into his lap.

It took Jaehyun a couple tries to get the words out but eventually he practically yelled, "Hana pushed me!"

"Jae took toy!" Hana argued before Seokjin even said anything.

"Jaehyun, did you take her toy?" Seokjin asked.

"It was my turn!" Jaehyun exclaimed.

"But did you ask?" From the way Jaehyun looked away, Seokjin had his answer. "Puppy, you can't take toys from your friends and expect them not to do anything." Jaehyun pouted and crossed his arms defiantly over his chest. "And Hana, hasn't your Eomma and Daddy taught you better ways to communicate than using your hands?"

Hana nodded. "Use words."

Seokjin left it at that, not feeling comfortable truly disciplining his friends’ pups. With a reminder to play nicely and a brief hug to calm Jaehyun down, Seokjin left them again to go back out to the living room.

Chapter Text

Seokjin roamed around the store side of Cracker Barrel until he spotted Taehyung finally waddling his way inside the building. "Why are we here?" Seokjin immediately asked.

Taehyung smiled innocently. "I'm craving their biscuits."

"Their biscuits are good." Seokjin mused as they began to make their way to the host stand. "Jimin decided not to come?"

"He doesn't want to be away from Hajoon yet but also doesn't feel comfortable taking him out in public, especially since he already spent a good part of the day out while y'all were helping us move in." Taehyung said.

Seokjin bit his lip, feeling a bit unsettled as their host led them to their table. Once they were seated and had given their drink orders, Seokjin turned to Taehyung. "I'm worried about, Jimin." Taehyung looked up from his menu. "Doesn't something seem off with him to you? I felt it yesterday at your house. The way he kinda just stayed in the corner and didn't really talk unless someone talked to him first."

Taehyung was quiet for a moment before sighing, putting his menu down. "You know Jimin and I have been friends for over 20 years." Seokjin nodded. "He sometimes has these phases where he withdraws and shuts people out while pretending everything is fine. He thinks we're oblivious to it but obviously we're not."

"So we should talk to him, right?" Seokjin asked. "Try to figure out what's going on and help him?"

"The best way to help him is just to continue as normal." Taehyung said. "Trying to get him to open him up just makes him withdraw even further. He likes to work through these things on his own, so we can help him by just silently being there for him until he gets through whatever's going on with him."

That didn't sit right with him, but Taehyung had been Jimin's best friend for literal decades. He clearly knew Jimin in a way Seokjin may never be able to. "I don't like it but you're probably right." Seokjin nodded letting out a breath. "I hope whatever it is isn't too bad."

"Me too." Taehyung said softly, picking his menu back up.

***

Seokjin was brushing his teeth when Namjoon strolled into the bathroom. "There's my beautiful mate." The alpha smiled, walking up behind Seokjin and wrapping his arms around his waist.

"What do you want?" Seokjin asked through a mouthful of toothpaste.

"Must I want something other than to just be near you?" Namjoon retorted, pressing a kiss to Seokjin's shoulder.

And that really was all Namjoon wanted, the alpha just quietly hugging Seokjin from behind as the omega finished brushing his teeth and did his skincare routine. As he finished up, Namjoon buried his face in the crook of Seokjin's neck, scenting him while pushing his hand up under the omega's shirt to splay across his bare stomach. "You really are clingy tonight." Seokjin chuckled, leaning into Namjoon's hold and reaching back with one hand to thread his fingers through the alpha's hair.

"I just love you." Namjoon murmured, pressing a kiss to Seokjin's skin.

"I love you too." Seokjin whispered, turning his head and pushing Namjoon's up so he could kiss him.

Namjoon parted his lips slightly to deepen the kiss, running his hand across Seokjin's stomach to rest on his waist. Seokjin slowly turned around without breaking the kiss until he was facing Namjoon. He pressed his body against the alpha's and looped his arm around the neck, humming happily against his lips as Namjoon's hands ran up his bare back under his shirt. "The pups should be deep asleep by now." Namjoon murmured.

"They should." Seokjin agreed, kissing his mate for a moment before continuing. "Maybe we should move this to our room then."

Without parting unless absolutely necessary, the two of them made their way out of the bathroom and into their bedroom. Seokjin let himself fall back into his nest, holding Namjoon tightly to him so the alpha had no choice but to fall with him. Namjoon caught himself before he completely crushed Seokjin, holding himself up with his hands planted on the mattress on either side of Seokjin's head as he flicked his tongue inside the omega's mouth. He then lifted one hand to run it down the length of Seokjin's body, caressing his bare thigh for a moment before bringing it back up to dip into the waistband of his shorts. Seokjin lifted his hips just enough to push his shorts and panties down, using his foot to fling them somewhere in the room before wrapping his legs around Namjoon's hips.

When Namjoon pulled back to rid himself of his pants and underwear, Seokjin rolled over onto his stomach, lifting his hips to present himself to his mate. "You're so perfect." Namjoon murmured, sounding like he was on the verge of popping a knot already just from the sight of Seokjin. Seokjin's ears grew hot, and he knew they were bright red, but he tried to ignore it as Namjoon climbed on the bed behind him. Namjoon caressed Seokjin's ass and upper thighs, taking his time to worship him before pressing the head of his dick against Seokjin's hole. Seokjin pressed back against Namjoon, inhaling sharply as the alpha penetrated him.

Namjoon paused for a second to let Seokjin adjust, rubbing the omega's lower back soothingly. When Seokjin started pressing back again, Namjoon slowly thrusted his hips forward, relishing in the high-pitched whine that escaped the omega. An almost relieved sigh came out of Seokjin when Namjoon bottomed out, the omega gripping the sheets beneath him as he shifted his hips to try to get Namjoon to move already. Namjoon began a slow, steady pace, focusing on pushing as deep into Seokjin as he possibly could get. Each thrust was punctuated with a loud moan from Seokjin, causing the omega to have to bury his face in a pillow to muffle the sounds lest they wake Jaehyun or Hyunbin up.

As Namjoon's knot began to swell, he draped himself over Seokjin's back, pistoning his hips at a faster pace. He rested his hands on top of Seokjin's, threading their fingers together. He buried his face in the crook of Seokjin's neck, mouthing at his scent gland until his knot grew too big to be able to pull out. He grinded his hips against Seokjin's ass until he felt the omega clenching around him as he came, triggering Namjoon's own release.

Namjoon carefully rolled them onto their sides as they caught their breath, still nuzzling Seokjin's scent gland as he wrapped an arm tightly around his waist. "I'd already showered tonight." Seokjin said once he regained the ability to speak. "Now you gotta clean me up again."

"Yes, sir." Namjoon chuckled, pressing a kiss to the side of his neck.

Chapter Text

After parking outside the preschool, Seokjin turned to smile at Jaehyun in his carseat. "Are you ready to go meet your new teachers and see your new classroom?"

The three-year-old immediately shook his head. "I don't want new class. Or new teachers."

"I know, puppy." Seokjin said sympathetically. "But it's a new school year, so we gotta go to a new class. Binnie has a new class too." Jaehyun pouted. "You're gonna have so much fun in your new class this year!" Seokjin said in a cheerful voice before finally turning off the car and climbing out so he could get the boys out. Jaehyun immediately began to fight Seokjin, wiggling and squirming in his attempts to prevent his mother from getting him out of his carseat. "Kim Jaehyun, we're gonna go inside and see your new classroom." Seokjin said with a firmer tone than he normally used with the three-year-old. But it didn't work the way it did with Namjoon, as Jaehyun let out a cry. "After, we can go home and watch Barnyard." He said with a softer tone, hoping that using the three-year old's favorite movie as somewhat of a bribe would placate him.

It worked enough that Jaehyun didn't fight or scream, but he wouldn't walk by himself, causing Seokjin to have to carry both him and Hyunbin inside the building. He also had silent tears rolling down his face, which immediately caught Namjoon's attention as the alpha was in the lobby greeting families as he did every year. "What's wrong with my little buddy?" Namjoon asked, eyebrows furrowed in concern as he reached out to take Jaehyun.

Jaehyun answered before Seokjin could. "I don't want new class." He said, hugging Namjoon tightly around the neck and nuzzling his scent gland. "No new class, Daddy. Please." It seemed as if he had picked up on the fact that Namjoon played a role in classroom transitions as part of his job.

Namjoon rubbed Jaehyun's back. "I'm sorry, Jae, but moving classes is a part of getting bigger. And you're a big boy now, right?" Jaehyun nodded sadly, still hugging Namjoon tightly. "What if Daddy comes with you to see your new class?" He then offered. After a moment, Jaehyun nodded. "Alright, I'll come with you." Namjoon glanced at Seokjin.

"Thank you." Seokjin said quietly, stealing a quick greeting kiss from his mate before they headed further into the building.

"I tried to get him in Yoongi's class." Namjoon murmured. "But there are only so many strings I can pull before I get accused of taking advantage of my position." Seokjin nodded in understanding as they arrived at Room 6, Jaehyun's new class for the year which happened to be right next door to Yoongi's class.

"Hi, Jae!" One of the teachers in the room greeted the three-year-old brightly. "We were so excited to see your name on our classroom list!"

Jaehyun immediately hid his face in Namjoon's shoulder, holding him tighter. "We don't do very well with change." Namjoon said, hugging Jaehyun back just as tightly. "Just give him a minute." He nudged Jaehyun to try to get the three-year-old to look at him. "Let's go see what toys are in here. I bet they're different than your old class." He carried Jaehyun over to the carpet first and sat down, nearly losing his balance due to Jaehyun still refusing to let him go. "Let's see here…look, they have horses with their blocks! You can build a farm in here!" That got Jaehyun's attention, the three-year-old lifting his head to examine the tiny toy horses.

While Namjoon was keeping Jaehyun distracted, Seokjin jumped into what Namjoon had informed him the teachers at the school called his interrogation. He asked about their daily schedule, how they handled meal and nap times, making sure they wouldn't ever try to discipline Jaehyun as eating and sleeping at school were some of his biggest struggles. He made sure they were aware that while Jaehyun was mostly potty trained, he did still occasionally have accidents, particularly during guided instruction times when he wasn't sure if he was allowed to just go to the bathroom. And he gave him his list of when to either call him or tell Namjoon to call him in regard to Jaehyun, which he knew was stricter than the school's actual send home policy. But Seokjin was a firm believer in not letting his pup suffer at school if he was feeling even the tiniest bit under the weather, especially with the pandemic never truly ending.

Once he was sure he'd gone over everything, he left Namjoon and Jaehyun to continue playing in the room, as the three-year-old was finally content, and carried Hyunbin down the hall to his own new classroom--his first one out of the nursery. "Hi!" He greeted Hyunbin's new teachers with a bright smile. He went through the same list of items as with Jaehyun's teachers, only that time he added on the knowledge of Hyunbin's asthma. "He does have an inhaler with the nurse, but it is just for emergencies. If he seems to be struggling to breathe, go ahead and have the nurse give it to him then please call me and I'll come get him. At no point will I ever be annoyed over you calling me."

"Of course." The teachers nodded to reassure him.

Once he was satisfied with Hyunbin's new class, he stepped out and met Namjoon and Jaehyun in the hallway. "See? Your new class isn't all that bad."

"They have a farm book!" Jaehyun exclaimed, jumping excitedly while still holding Namjoon's hand.

"You'll have to tell me all about it on the way home." Seokjin said, holding his hand out for Jaehyun to take instead. "Tell Daddy will see him later."

Jaehyun pouted but waved to Namjoon. "Bye bye, Daddy."

"Bye, Buddy." Namjoon crouched down to hug Jaehyun and press a kiss to the top of his head. Then he rose back up and kissed Hyunbin's cheek before ending with a soft kiss to Seokjin's lips. "I'll be home in a couple of hours."

Seokjin nodded. "Dinner will be ready." He promised, giving Namjoon one more kiss before leading Jaehyun back down the hall towards the front entrance of the school.

Chapter Text

Seokjin tiptoed out of the boys' room, carefully closing the door behind him. He quietly padded into the kitchen where Namjoon was starting to fix himself a drink for the night. "The boys are asleep." Seokjin said as he hugged Namjoon from behind. "We should have sexy times."

Namjoon made a noise of interest. "To what do I owe the pleasure of sexy times?"

"I'm particularly aroused." Seokjin said, pressing a kiss to Namjoon's shoulder. "And it's been a while since I've felt physically connected to my mate and I would like to enjoy that again."

"You and your way with words." Namjoon chuckled as he turned to face Seokjin, leaning down to press his lips to the omega's.

"You like my way with words." Seokjin mumbled into the kiss.

"I do." Namjoon confirmed, moving to trail kisses down Seokjin's neck.

Seokjin tilted his head to give the alpha more room to work with. He let out a sigh of pleasure when Namjoon reached his scent gland, the alpha's tongue darting out to stimulate it. Wrapping his arms tighter around Namjoon, Seokjin pressed closer to him as slick started leaking out of him. "As you know, I'm always up for kitchen sex." Seokjin said, pausing to let a quiet moan slip at as Namjoon sucked a light mark into his skin. "But tonight I'd really prefer somewhere I can lay down."

"You do, do you?" Namjoon murmured, nipping at Seokjin's scent gland one more time before pulling back. "The let's get you comfy." He walked Seokjin backwards out of the kitchen and into the living room until he was able to push him down on the couch.

Seokjin giggled as he wiggled to get more comfortable on the couch, opening his arms and spreading his legs to welcome Namjoon climbing on top of him. "Much better." He murmured before pulling Namjoon down into another heated kiss.

Namjoon flicked his tongue into Seokjin's mouth briefly before pulling back to continue kissing his neck. After leaving a second mark next to the first one, the alpha crawled down Seokjin's body, pushing his shirt up to expose his stomach. He peppered kisses across the omega's skin, worshipping the stretch marks along his lower stomach and hips as he slowly pushed Seokjin's sweatpants and panties down his legs. He sat up to pull them all the way off before settling back between Seokjin's legs, that time focusing his attention on the omega's thighs. Seokjin reached down to gently thread his fingers through Namjoon's hair as the alpha kissed a path along his inner thigh until he finally reached his core, running his tongue over the omega's hole. Seokjin bit his lip to keep from moaning out loud as Namjoon began to eat him out, the omega's thighs nearly closing around his head. As Namjoon worked his tongue against Seokjin, he brought one hand to his member to lightly stroke it, the other hand pushing Seokjin's shirt up even further so he could palm his breast. If Seokjin weren't on the verge of screaming with pleasure, he probably would have laughed at his mate's obsession with his breastfeeding body.

Seokjin brought his own hand up to cover his mouth when holding back his noises grew more difficult, hips bucking up against Namjoon's mouth and hand while the alpha fondled his breast and tweaked his nipple. He felt his orgasm steadily building, his stomach tightening into a coil as he approached the edge. Then a particularly sharp tug at his nipple was more painful than pleasurable, causing him to flinch. "Too much! Ow!"

"Sorry." Namjoon said, immediately removing his hand from Seokjin's chest. He moved to resume eating Seokjin out, but the omega stopped him, tugging him to climb over his body until their lips could crash together.

"I want you inside me now." Seokjin whispered, tugging at Namjoon's sweatpants.

The alpha tugged his pants and underwear just enough to allow his dick to spring out. He took hold of himself, giving his dick a couple of strokes as Seokjin wrapped his legs around his waist. Then he guided the tip to Seokjin's hole, gathering up some of his slick before slowly pushing inside. Seokjin brought his hand to his mouth against to muffle a moan that started to escape as Namjoon bottomed out, the alpha burying his face in Seokjin's shoulder and peppering kisses to the skin.

When Namjoon began thrusting his hips at a steady pace, it didn't take long for Seokjin's orgasm to build back up, the omega having to bite down on his hand to fight the urge to scream even more. He wrapped his legs tightly around Namjoon's waist, gripping his back with his free hand as he tumbled over the edge. As he started to come down from his high, removing his hand from his mouth, he felt Namjoon spilling inside of him, the alpha's knot locking them together.

Namjoon panted as he rested on top of Seokjin, the couple just holding each other in silence for a long time. Then Namjoon noticed the bite mark on Seokjin's hand. "Don't do that." He softly scolded the omega, pressing soft kisses to the mark. "Bite me instead."

"I'll keep that in mind next time." Seokjin let out a breathless laugh, smiling when Namjoon pressed their lips together.

***

Seokjin was already up with Hyunbin in the living room when Jaehyun opened his bedroom door. "Morning, Puppy!" Seokjin called out as he held another donut hole out for the toddler to take. "Daddy got donuts this morning! You want one!" When Jaehyun didn't respond or run to sit in Seokjin's lap immediately like he normally did, Seokjin looked over towards his bedroom door to see the three-year-old looked too terrified to come out of his room, hiding partially behind his blanket. "What's wrong, puppy?"

"The ghost." Jaehyun whimpered.

"What ghost?" Namjoon asked in confusion as he came out of the kitchen with coffee for himself and tea for Seokjin.

"The scary ghost!" Jaehyun elaborated as if that made sense. "I heard it last night!"

Seokjin and Namjoon remained confused for a moment longer. Then realization dawned on them both at the same time. Seokjin felt his ears burn with mortification and Namjoon's expression looked like he wanted to go lay in the street and wait for a truck to run him over. "There's no more ghost." Seokjin assured him. "Daddy took care of it last night."

A choked noise escaped Namjoon as Seokjin shot him a look. "That's right." Namjoon said weakly before clearing his throat. "Daddy took care of the ghost. It's all gone now."

Jaehyun took a tentative step out of his bedroom. "It's gone."

"Yep, it's all gone." Seokjin nodded and after another second of hesitation, the three-year-old finally left his room and ran to sit in his mother's lap, cuddling up to him.

"You love these scrambled eggs, don't you?" Seokjin chuckled as he scraped some more scrambled eggs from the skillet to Hyunbin's highchair tray just as Namjoon came out of the boys' bedroom with Jaehyun propped on his hip.

"Look who's finally awake!" Namjoon exclaimed, pressing a kiss to the three-year old's cheek before setting him down in one of the chairs at the table.

Seokjin smiled and bent down to kiss the top of his head before adding scrambled eggs to the plate he'd already put on the table for when he decided to wake up. "You must have gotten a really good night's sleep! You slept so late this morning!" Jaehyun smiled and grabbed the plate, pulling it closer to him so he could start eating breakfast.

Namjoon walked over to Hyunbin's highchair and leaned over to be eye level with the toddler. "Guess what we're doing today?" Hyunbin smiled at him around the eggs in his mouth. "Your new bed came in yesterday so Daddy's gonna put it together for you to sleep in like a big boy!"

"Like my bed." Jaehyun said.

"That's right." Seokjin ran his fingers through the three-year old's hair. "Just like your bed."

When Hyunbin was done eating, Seokjin cleaned off his hands and face before getting him out of his highchair. "Let's go get you dressed for the day!" He pressed a kiss to the 19-month old's cheek as he carried him to the bedroom. As he stripped the toddler out of his clothes, Seokjin froze at the sight of what seemed to be a rash beginning to spread across his chest. Frowning with concern, Seokjin pulled his phone out, facetiming his mom as he knew she wouldn't have gone to bed quite yet.

"Seokjinnie!" His mom greeted him instantly. "To what do I owe this pleasure?"

"Unfortunately this isn't just a social call." He moved the phone to capture the rash on Hyunbin's chest. "What does this look like to you? I've never seen this on either of the boys."

His mom frowned a bit as she tried to study the rash through the screen. "It's a bit hard to tell with the camera and lighting but it looks like it could be a reaction to something. Does it seem to be bothering him?" Seokjin shook his head. "Well keep an eye on it and take him to the doctor tomorrow."

"Alright, thanks, Eomma."

The call with his mom did ease his anxiety a bit, but his concern was still there as he tried to think of what Hyunbin was having a reaction to. By the time he'd gotten the toddler dressed for the day, the rash had started to spread even to his chin and cheeks, so Seokjin decided he wasn't gonna wait until the next day to take him to his normal pediatrician. "Come here." He murmured as he scooped Hyunbin into his arms, carrying him back out to where Namjoon was just clearing Jaehyun's breakfast plate away as the three-year-old ran off to his living room toy bucket. "Hyunbin's having a reaction to something so I'm gonna take him to a walk-in clinic." He said.

Namjoon immediately frowned, more concern filling his gaze as he caught sight of the rash peeking out of the top of his onesie and showing across his face. "Oh no, buddy." Namjoon leaned down to press a kiss to his forehead before Seokjin carried him over to the door to get their shoes.

Even though it was a Sunday, the clinic was busy enough that Seokjin and Hyunbin had to wait a decent amount of time in the lobby, Seokjin cuddling the toddler close and comforting him as he'd started to fuss in discomfort shortly after they'd arrived. When they were finally called back and got to meet with a doctor, the doctor examined Hyunbin as he continued to sit in Seokjin's lap while the omega went over their day leading up to the appearance of the rash. "He woke up around 6:15 this morning in a happy mood. Had a normal wet diaper. He watched Pinkfong while having a sippy cup of apple juice mixed with water while I made breakfast. Then he ate some toast, breakfast potatoes, and scrambled eggs for breakfast. When he was done eating, I took him to his bedroom to change him out of his pajamas and that's when I noticed the rash."

The doctor hummed. "It does look like an allergic reaction, possibly to the eggs."

Seokjin furrowed his eyebrows. "But he eats eggs all the time and he's never broken out like this."

"Sometimes all it takes is once. Especially with as common an allergen as eggs." The doctor said sympathetically. "I'll write a referral to an allergy specialist for you to have him tested. Until then, try to avoid eggs for now just so we can rule them out."

Hyunbin started tugging at Seokjin's shirt like he did when he was ready to nurse as Seokjin nodded and thanked the doctor. "Not now, puppy." Seokjin whispered to him, gently removing the 19-month old's hand from his shirt. "When we get home."

Sure enough, by the time they made it home, Hyunbin was nearly full-on sobbing while crying for milk. "What did the doctor say?" Namjoon asked from where he and Jaehyun were playing farm.

"They think he's allergic to eggs." Seokjin said as he got settled on the couch and lifted his shirt for Hyunbin to latch on and start nursing. "I'm gonna call the asthma and allergy clinic in the morning to get an appointment."

"Poor puppy." Namjoon frowned. "You keep getting the short end of the stick, huh?" Hyunbin grunted quietly around Seokjin's nipple.

"Eomma!"

Seokjin groaned as Hyunbin's voice rang through the pup monitor followed by the sound of him banging on his and Jaehyun's bedroom door as he thankfully hadn't quite figured out how to properly turn the knob just yet. He lifted his head and grabbed his phone from the nightstand, squinting to see the time through his blurry vision. He then dropped the electronic back onto the table, letting his head fall back to his pillow. "Just once, please sleep past 7:00. I'm begging you." He whined before forcing himself out of bed.

The toddler smiled brightly up at Seokjin as soon as the omega opened his bedroom door. "Eomma!" He held his arms up.

"Good morning, puppy." Seokjin murmured as he scooped Hyunbin into his arms, all annoyance leaving him as he nuzzled against his shoulder. "Did you have a good sleep?" Hyunbin hugged Seokjin tighter. "How about Eomma goes and gets breakfast started, then let's change your diaper and watch some cartoons with our juice." Hyunbin lifted his head up, excitement filling his features as he started to wiggle to be put down.

Seokjin was just pulling cinnamon rolls out of the oven when Jaehyun came out of the boys' bedroom, the three-year-old immediately joining his brother on the couch to watch Peppa Pig. "Breakfast will be ready in just a little bit." Seokjin informed the pups. "These cinnamon rolls just have to cool off."

Jaehyun perked up, climbing onto his knees and peering over the back of the couch at his mother. "Cimmanen roll?"

"Uh-huh." Seokjin smiled at him. "You've been saying you want some so Eomma made sure to get some at the store for this weekend." Jaehyun let out an excited cheer before plopping back down on his bottom to keep watching TV.

Namjoon was the last to wake up, joining the rest of the family as the pups were digging into their cinnamon rolls, mixed fruit, and bacon. He shuffled over to where Seokjin was fixing himself some tea and slumped against him, burying his face in the crook of the omega's neck while wrapping his arms around his waist. "Well good morning to you too." Seokjin chuckled, leaning back into his mate's hold. Namjoon hummed, pressing his lips to Seokjin's skin. "Someone's clingy today."

"Do you have a problem with that?" Namjoon mumbled, pressing one more kiss to Seokjin's neck before pulling back to fix himself a breakfast plate.

Seokjin joined the boys at the table with his own plate and tea. "Who remembers what we're doing today?" He asked.

Jaehyun looked up from his cinnamon roll. "We going to Tae and Kookie's house."

"That's right." Seokjin nodded. "Do you remember why?"

The three-year-old furrowed his eyebrows together as he thought about it. Then his eyes lit up as he recalled. "Minhee's puppies are coming home from the doctor!"

Namjoon chuckled at the way Jaehyun still referred to Jungkook and Taehyung's twins as Minhee's puppies. "Yep, and Tae and Kookie invited us over to welcome them."

"I gonna draw them a picture." Jaehyun said before shoving a piece of fruit into his mouth.

"I bet they'll love that." Seokjin smiled.

After finishing breakfast, Namjoon cleaned up the dishes while Seokjin got the boys dressed for the day. Then Namjoon took over keeping the boys occupied with paper and crayons so Seokjin could shower and get himself dressed. Once Seokjin was ready, they switched off, Namjoon hopping in the shower while Seokjin played zoo with Jaehyun--correctly, he loved to boast to Namjoon every chance he got, as that was Jaehyun's new favorite game that Namjoon apparently couldn't figure out--and Hyunbin kept himself entertained with a toy dump truck and a bunch of blocks. After Namjoon got out, they worked to pack Hyunbin's diaper bag with everything they might need while at Jungkook and Taehyung's house. Then, in typical Hyunbin fashion, just as they were about to head out the door, the 20-month-old decided he absolutely had to nurse right that second or his life would be over.

Seokjin settled on the couch and lifted up his shirt for Hyunbin to latch onto his breast. "Not to rush you or make you stop doing something that very clearly brings you comfort, but will I ever get my boobs back to myself at any point?" He asked the toddler. Hyunbin grunted aggressively in response, somehow pressing even closer to Seokjin as he nursed.

Once Hyunbin was satisfied, they finally loaded up in the car and headed to Taehyung and Jungkook's house, arriving shortly after the couple had with their twins. Everyone else was already there too, cooing over the twins and making sure Taehyung was comfortable and happy. After gushing over their cuteness himself, Seokjin pulled two envelopes out of Hyunbin's diaper bag, handing one to Jimin and one to Taehyung. "Birthday invitations and yes you're required to come."

Jimin snorted as he opened the envelope to pull out the personalized party invitation Seokjin had spent way too much money on so that he would have cute invitations to send to school with the three-year-old on Monday for his class. "Wow, a zoo party this year instead of a farm one?" He asked in surprise.

Seokjin nodded. "He goes back and forth between the two now depending on his mood. He's been pretty stuck on zoos for the past month though and I told him once I ordered the invitations, he couldn't change his mind, so we'll see." He let out a slight sigh. "Have you started thinking about Hana's birthday party-"

Jimin's hands immediately flew to his ears. "LA LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU."

"The actual fuck?" Seokjin stared at him.

"He's in denial that Hana's turning three next month." Yoongi said without looking up from where he was changing Hajoon's diaper.

Seokjin hummed in understanding. "I totally get it."

After getting the boys' backpacks ready for the day with Hyunbin trailing around the apartment after him--as the toddler now refused to sleep later than 6:30 in the morning, which Seokjin recognized to be a blessing on school mornings, but the sleep deprived side of him hated it--Seokjin picked Hyunbin up and propped him on his hip. "Let's go wake your brother up." He pressed a kiss to the toddler's cheek before carrying him to his and Jaehyun's bedroom. He set Hyunbin on the floor, the toddler immediately running off to his pile of toys, and sat next to Jaehyun's bed. He reached out to gently rub the now four-year old's back until he began to stir. "Good morning, puppy." Seokjin said softly, smiling as Jaehyun lifted his head sleepily. "Happy birthday!"

Jaehyun blinked for a moment before smiling. "It's my birthday!" He cheered as he sat up.

"It is your birthday!" Seokjin giggled, welcoming Jaehyun into his lap and hugging him tightly. "I can't believe you're four years old now." Jaehyun held up four fingers in response.

After a moment of just cuddling, Jaehyun sat up again, looking at Seokjin seriously. "It's time to go to school."

Seokjin would have been more than happy to keep him and Hyunbin home for the day but when Seokjin had brought up the idea of skipping school, Jaehyun freaked out, acting like missing school was the absolute worst thing he could do. So to school the boys were going that day. "Yep, let's get ready." He gently nudged Jaehyun out of his lap and rose to his feet. While Jaehyun ran off to go potty, Seokjin picked out some clothes for him to wear and laid them out on his bed. Then he got Hyunbin from his toy pile and, much to the toddler's dismay, stripped him out of his pajamas so he could change his diaper and dress him for school.

Namjoon came in the room after he finished getting ready for work. "There's the birthday boy!" He exclaimed, scooping Jaehyun up and hugging him tightly. "You're growing up so fast, buddy."

Jaehyun squirmed to be put down, then held his arms out. "I need help!" Namjoon crouched to the four-year old's level and helped him finish getting dressed.

While Namjoon got their jackets and shoes on by the door, Seokjin hurried to the kitchen to get a pack of Belvita breakfast cookies for Jaehyun and a yogurt pouch for Hyunbin to eat in the car so they wouldn't be starving by the time breakfast was served at the school. "Have an amazing day, my puppies." Seokjin said as he handed the snacks to Namjoon so he could hug the boys. "Eomma loves you and I can't wait to hear all about your days when you get home." He smothered their faces in kisses, then gave Jaehyun an extra birthday hug before standing up to press his lips to Namjoon's.

Namjoon looked up as Yoongi knocked on his open office door. "It's 4:30." Yoongi said. "Let's roll out." Namjoon didn't hesitate to shut down his computer and grab his workbag, turning off the light as he followed Yoongi out of his office.

They walked to the door that led out to the toddler playground together to get Hyunbin and Hana respectively. As they stepped outside, Hyunbin immediately ran up to Namjoon. "Daddy!" He exclaimed happily, reaching up for the alpha.

"Hey, Binnie!" Namjoon picked him up and pressed a kiss to his cheek before propping him on his hip. "Are you ready to go home?" Hyunbin nodded and Namjoon carried him over to where the classroom laptops were to sign him out of his aftercare class. "I'll sign Hana out for you too." He said to Yoongi who was heading over to where Hana and Jaehyun were talking over the fence the separated the two playgrounds.

Once both toddlers were signed out of their rooms, Namjoon crossed back over to the fence where Yoongi was now lifting Jaehyun over to be on the toddler side with them. As soon as Yoongi set him back on his feet, Hana was hugging him. "Happy birthday!" The two-year-old omega exclaimed while Jaehyun just smiled happily at the hug. Namjoon also smiled at the exchange before looking out to the preschool playground, making eye contact with Jaehyun's aftercare teacher who signaled that she was signing him out of the computer for him.

"Okay, Mochi." Yoongi chuckled, nudging Hana to get her to release Jaehyun. "We gotta go get your brother from the nursery."

Hana nodded and gave Jaehyun one more squeeze before letting him go. "Bye, Jae. Go get Dumpling!" She grabbed Yoongi's hand and began tugging him toward the door.

"Did you have a good day?" Namjoon asked Jaehyun as he leaned down to hug him, earning a nod from the four-year-old. "Let's go get yours and your brother's backpacks and go home." He ruffled Jaehyun's hair before leading him through the door into Hyunbin's classroom.

"So Soobin's birthday is the Friday before his finals week so I'm planning a romantic weekend away to celebrate and give him a little break from the stress." Yeonjun said to Seokjin. "I am so glad I never went to college because seeing Soobin trying to get his PhD…oof." He shook his head. "Anyway, I'm telling you all this because I'm gonna need December 4th through 7th off."

Seokjin looked up from writing in his paper calendar where he kept track of time off requests and any important days to the restaurant. "You're actually requesting time off instead of me forcing it on you?" Yeonjun nodded and Seokjin slowly set his pen down, reaching out to put his hands on Yeonjun's shoulders. "Please never break up with Soobin. Clearly he is so good for you." Yeonjun playfully rolled his eyes and brushed Seokjin's hands off so he could return to his duties.

"Eomma!" Jaehyun appeared at the opening into the kitchen, the four-year-old making sure not to cross the line of tape Seokjin had put there.

"My puppy!" Seokjin put the calendar away and rushed over to him, scooping him into his arms and smothering his face in kisses. "Did you have the bestest day ever at school?"

Jaehyun smiled brightly as he hugged his arms around Seokjin's neck. "My teachers got cupcakes for me!"

"Well, that was so nice of them!" Seokjin pressed another kiss to his cheek as an out of breath Namjoon finally arrived with Hyunbin in his arms. "Jaehyun, did you run from Daddy while he was getting Binnie out of the car again?" The four-year old's smile fell, and he hid his face in Seokjin's shoulder. "We can't do that, puppy. It's not safe. Someone driving their car could hit you because you're so little."

"Sorry." Jaehyun mumbled into Seokjin's shirt.

Seokjin hummed while rubbing Jaehyun's back. "Let's go upstairs." He pressed another kiss to the four-year old's temple before leaning in to press his lips to Namjoon's and kiss Hyunbin's forehead.
