TIME: Mark Tuan edition

Chapter 11

I wake up to loud laughter and it startles me. I begin to open my eyes and see Miguel walking around in his diaper and pants on his head. I shoot up and go dizzy. I put my hand on my forehead as I wait for it to pass.

"Hey, Chris." Mark says from the other side, standing by the counter with the baby bag.

"You're head is heavy," I turn to see BamBam rubbing his shoulder pouting.

"Aww I'm sorry BamBam! You could have moved my head!" I pout and massage his shoulder and arm in return.

"Well I laid your head down so don't feel like a burden. I didn't want to move you in fear that you would wake up," he tells me stopping my hands from massaging him. I pout even more feeling apologetic. "Don't worry. I was kidding when I said that."

"Miguel!" Mark yells as Miguel runs almost hitting the table. He runs to him lifting the half naked boy into the air. I laugh as I see a stressed out yet joyful guy play with the carefree, cheerful boy.

"Mark hyung is great with kids, isn't he?" BamBam says and I nod.

"He always has. Especially to his nieces," I tell him while watching Mark make faces resulting to Miguel laughing as he changes. "What happened anyway? When did Miguel wake up? I didn't feel him get up?"

"Oh, when Miguel started waking up, Mark hyung picked him up so you wouldn't wake up. Then while we were playing with him he made an accident in his pants and Mark was gonna change him when that happened." He tells me referring to Miguel with pants on his head and running around.

"How long was I napping?" I ask.

"Not long." He answers.

"Yeah, maybe ten- fifteen minutes," Lara cuts in. I nod. That short nap felt amazing.

"Where's Brian, Jackson, Yugyeom, Cassidy, and Jen?" I ask realizing there were missing people.

"Oh they went to see a few of the performances and see when it's time for announcements-"

*ring ring ring*

"Oh, speak of the devil," Lara says as her phone rings. "Hello?"

She talks for a while and asks where they were. I wait for her to hang up.

"They said there's one more performance," she tells me. "They're backstage watching."

"Oh, okay," I respond. It was silent for awhile.

"Ahahaha!" My eyes go to the smiling figure whose being tickled and a smile forms on my mouth. "Stawp! Ahahaha! Uncle Mawk!"

I watch them interact and laugh along with them from where I am. BamBam had gone into a conversation with Youngjae leaving me to myself. Mark glances up and sees me looking at them and smiles. He lifts Miguel in his arms and turns him facing me while pointing at me. He whispers into his ear and Miguel laughs.

"Momma! I love you!" Miguel cheers happily and I laugh.

"I love you too, honey!" I say back smiling at him.

"Do you love me?" Mark asks turning to Miguel.

"Uhuh! I love you!" He replies hugging his neck.

"Aww," Mark chuckles and hugs him back. "Wanna play with momma?"

"Yah!" Miguel says. He wiggles his body motioning to go down and Mark let's him go. Miguel grabs Mark's hand and pulls him with him. "Come with me!"

"Okay, okay. I'm coming," Mark tells him trudging behind the small running figure.

Miguel runs to me and I pick him up and put him on my lap tickling him making him laugh. Mark takes a seat next to me and I smile at him. He returns the smile and lays an arm at the back of the sofa.
