Be A Kid (Taehyun X Reader)

  You were awoken by a slight shake. Rather than looking to see who had awoken you, you looked to the clock first, seeing that it was 5:30 in the morning. Your eyes shifted from the time to the one in front of you. It was Seojun.

  "Noona... I had a nightmare," he squeaked gently. "I wanted to sit with papa but papa said to go to sleep with you," he explained, keeping his hands on the edge of your bed. His eyes were slightly red, as if he'd woken up crying but wiped away the tears so no one could see them.

  You didn't say a word. Instead, you opened up your blanket and helped him climb your tall mattress, letting him hold your plushie that you kept in your bed. You forced your eyes open until he fell asleep. You didn't sleep until you were sure he was back to sleep. When his eyes were firmly shut and his breathing had slowed, you allowed yourself to fall asleep.

  You were rudely awoken by your alarm, meaning it was 7:00. You turned it off quickly to let Seojun have a little more sleep. You moved quickly out of bed, grabbing your uniform to change. Once you'd done so, you snuck into Seohyun and Seojun's room and picked out their clothes for the day, and then you made them each a bowl of cereal.

  You crept into the room that Seohyun was in and gently woke her up. She seemed well rested, yet still peeved that she was awake.

  "It's breakfast time. Wash your hands and go sit at the table," you told her gently. She nodded and then sat up. You left the room to go to your room where Seojun slept.

  He had taken over your bed, covered in all of your blankets.

  "Seojunnie," you hummed. "It's breakfast time."

  He nodded, sitting up as well, rubbing his tired eyes. You helped him out of your bed, seeing as it was fairly far off the ground, and then he left to wash his hands.

  They ate breakfast, brushed their teeth, and changed and then you dropped them off at school. From the elementary school, you walked swiftly to your school and then classes begun.

  The cycle started over again. Go through classes. Pick up the kids. Ask about their day. Give them a snack at home. Change. Ask if they have homework. Make them do homework. Do your own homework. Make dinner. Put the kids to bed. Sleep. A repetitive cycle. One that hadn't changed for a while.

  You'd been watching the show lately. The one that appeared at the same time everyday. The one that the kids watched often. They would get excited over the one who shot arrows, or the one who had the book, but you found your eyes drawn to the wizard boy. It seemed you enjoyed the show now. There was no escaping it. You liked this kids show. While the kids watched it for how fun it was, you watched it for the plot, noticing the small nuances.

  You decided one night to look up the show and watch some episodes that you hadn't seen before. That led you to seeking out more online content. That's when you found a competition. A competition for people in the area that you were in. It was one to grow more interest in the show, no doubt. It was a simple contest. You just enter your name and then you'd get chosen. If you got chosen, you'd get to see the set of the show and watch them film part of an episode. A part that wouldn't ruin the magic of the show. It seemed simple enough. You figured, why not? You entered your name, Seojun's name, and Seohyun's name, each attached to a different email account of yours.

  You got the email right after school one day. The one under Seojun's name. It invited him and his family to the set. There was a bunch of information that you had to fill out, but you couldn't believe that you'd actually won. It was surprising to you, to say the least. In all honesty, you'd only entered as a joke.
