╰► 08: decisions

ten sat at the waiting area at the twins' school, waiting for their lunch break to arrive. he's sitting with taeyong who's busy eating pineapples with pickle juice. weird damn pregnancy cravings.

he chuckles, hearing kun talk to his husband about dinner tonight. "so do you want take out or do i need to cook? hansol, i don't know what 'it's up to you' means!" he whines. eventually he breaks into mandarin which is even funnier to both ten and taeyong.

he huffs, ending the call and turns to look at the two adults staring at him with dopey faces. "did you figure out what to eat for dinner?" taeyong snorts, digging into a new pack of dried sweet potatoes.

kun gives his million dollar smile. "i said i would cut his dick off if he kept telling me that and we agreed on take out." ten and taeyong burst out cackling, lightly hitting each other.

their laughter eventually dies down and ten gets a phone call. he excuses himself to answer it.

"hello? what's wrong hyuckie?" he asks. his heart pangs when he hears the boy on the other side cough, "i'm at the clinic. they said i'm sick, mama." he dimly said, and ten panics. "huh? how come?" he worries, catching the attention of both adults he was talking to earlier.

"the doctor said i have to go home.." he mutters. ten looks around. "okay. stay there while i call your mama, hm? we'll tell her to pick us up. stay there, cub! just wait for uncle ten." when donghyuck hums, he hangs up and glances at taeyong and kun before looking for yoominms number.

she answers the call with a frustrated voice. "what now?" yoomin spits. "donghyuck's sick and they're saying that he needs to head home." he says, bitting his lip once again. he should really buy some chapstick soon. "you didn't asks?" she asks.

"what are we going to do, miss?" ten says only to receive a sigh in reply. "i can't have seonja go there because i have a meeting and it's in incheon and i cannot cancel!" yoomin grits her teeth, rolling her eyes.  "just go call johnny to have doyoung pick you guys up, okay?"

before ten can even say anything, yoomin hurriedly cuts him off. "just call my boyfriend, okay?!" she hangs up, leaning back into her seat with a huff.

ten sighs. "mr. johnny can't even bring doyoung here because he's all the way in daejeon doing some sort of business project, while the other car is being repaired." he explains to the two parents who nod. "how about you guys just head home with me?" kun offers.

the thai shakes his head. "we can't! it'll be a long drive since you guys live far from our neighborhood. and i can't just leave donghyuck here all alone." he cries, unsure what to do.

"just ask the school doctor to talk to their teacher so that you guys can head home together." taeyong offers and ten agrees with the suggestion, packing up his things. "okay. i gotta go tend to my babies, see you guys." he waves at the parents, heading to the school clinic.

it's cold when he walks in and is also greeted by one of the teachers on duty. when ten asks for donghyuck, the doctor guides him to the room where he stayed at.

"where are the parents, if i may ask?" she asks, looking a little confused. ten awkwardly chuckles. "they're kind of busy, doc." he answers and she seems to fully understand.

as they enter the room, ten paces over to where donghyuck laid, sitting down on the stool next to the bed.

"oh hyuckie. what happened, cub?" ten sighs, brushing back his curly locks. the young twin rolls on his back, looking up at ten with puffy eyes. "i'm sick.." donghyuck coughs. his voice in uncharacteristically small and soft, a total opposite of what his normal voice sounds like.
