It was Friday morning when a tiny person jumped onto Hongjoong's sleeping figure.

"Daddy! Dad!"

Hongjoong groaned. He lifted his head to see Wooyoung excitedly hitting his body with his little hands.

"What?" he asked in a groggy tone.

"It's... moring!"

"You mean morning?" Hongjoong blinked his eyes at the curtains over his window. It still looked relatively dark.

The five-year-old sassily rolled his eyes. "But I get to see Sannie, right?"

"Woo..." Hongjoong sat up and peered at his clock. "It's five in the morning. We said we'd meet San at eight."

"But... that." Wooyoung pointed to the clock. Hongjoong tiredly smiled.

"That says 5:08, baby."

"Oh."

The father opened his arms to embrace his son. Wooyoung happily nestled into them. Hongjoong knew he wouldn't be able to sleep once Wooyoung was awake. He was a big ball of energy that can't stop.

"Daddy?"

"Hm?"

"Can we eat pan... pan..."

"Pancakes?"

"Yeah!"

Hongjoong sighed, but he'd do anything for his bundle of joy. "Sure."

A few homes down the street, in a similar two-story home about an hour later, sat two figures on a porch.

"Dad! Look!"

Jongho shook Mingi awake. His father raised an eyebrow but caught sight of what it was.

"Let's go! Come on!" Jongho tugged Mingi's hand. Mingi chuckled.

"Be careful. Don't run too fast."

The pair walked down the street towards a small clearing. Mingi chuckled and raised his son up to his eye-level.

"Woah..." Jongho marveled at the pretty early sunrise. He's always wanted to see it outside, but he couldn't because he was sleeping or the weather was too cold. But now...

"Is this as pretty as you thought?" Mingi turned to him with a smile. He got his answer, though. Jongho's eyes looked shiny and marveled. The father knew his son's love for nature.

"It's so pretty!" Jongho sighed and hugged Mingi's neck.

"Let's go get breakfast."

At a third home around the block, a father rushed around the house, cleaning and wiping down as many countertops as he could. He had to do so before his son came down and distracted him.

But then...

"Dad!" a voice shrieked. Seonghwa flinched and inched his head out the kitchen. He smiled.

"Morning, Sannie." He laughed at the little boy's messy hair.

"Too loud." San pulled his purple blanket down the stairs towards the couch.

"Loud? I was only humming and cleaning the kitchen, sweetheart." Seonghwa walked over to kiss his cheek. "Do you know what's today?"

The toddler blankly stared.
