Dad's | Jaeyong

[5]

~ [ 1:15 am ] ~

Taeyong finally arrived home and stepped out of the elevator. He was already assured everything was good as the door remained closed and no loud sounds were to be heard.

As he entered and closed the door behind him, he removed his shoes and turned around to be faced with shock.

Sat on the sofa was Jaehyun fast asleep, Jaemin laying on his stomach with his head buried in Jaehyun's neck and a book rested in his hand.

It melted his heart to see such a sight. So as he walked closer, trying not to disturb the two, he pulled out his phone and took a picture before tapping Jaehyun's shoulder.

Even relaxed in his sleep his body was firm.

"Jaehyun?" Taeyong whispered, taking a seat beside him when he didn't wake up, "Jaehyun." He whispered again, now gently poking the soft white cheeks.

A deep, quiet breath was taking in by Jaehyun as he squinted his eyes and spotted Taeyong sat beside him. He flashed his dimple smile and look down at Jaemin on his stomach.

"What time is it?" He asked, trying to look at his watch but his arms where restricted by Jaemin.

Taeyong glanced at his phone and shone it in his face, "Coming up to 1:30 in the morning."

"You must be exhausted." Jaehyun whispered in a tired tone, but Taeyong knew someone was far more exhausted.

"He had a nightmare again," Jaehyun started, catching Taeyong's attention immediately, "But I seemed to have calmed him down immediately."

"How did you do it?" Taeyong asked curiously, he wasn't even able to sooth Jaemin until an hour later.

Jaehyun shrugged, "I'm not sure. He just woke up as I sat beside him and hugged me till he stopped crying. He couldn't sleep so he came in here with me, I told him a story and he fell back sleep."

Taeyong was outstanded. He never knew the true impact Jaehyun had on Jaemin, but again Taeyong was closer to Jisung and Jaemin was literally glued to his Dad.

'Maybe that's why he's fond of Jaehyun so much. He sees his Dad in Jaehyun, but isn't the looks that he sees, it was something much deeper' Taeyong thought as he eyed the two boys.

Jaehyun stood up with Jaemin in his arms and Taeyong followed to help tuck the small boy in his bed.

Jaehyun couldn't help but caress the blondes head who slowly opened his eyes and smiled. "Thanks... Dad..." Jaemin murmurs before drifting back to sleep.

Both adults look at each other shocked before leaving the room and walk into the bathroom, for some reason ending up brushing their teeth together in unison.

"I'm really sorry he keeps calling you Dad." Taeyong apologises in between brushing.

Jaehyun smiles and rinses his mouth as he looks at Taeyong through the mirror, "Honestly it's fine, it doesn't bother me and it seems to make him happy and comfort him- obviously I won't encourage it as you don't want him to."

"It's not that I don't want him to... it's just- well. Never mind I can't ask you of that. Well, goodnight!" Taeyong exclaimed as he went to leave the bathroom.
