The car ride went smoothly. Y/N was on Minghao's lap the whole time and she kept chatting with Vernon and Joshua, who was sitting in front and beside her. They were trying to make her speak English, but she was too shy so they did not force her.
They were about to reach when Minghao signaled Joshua to distract her so that he could make her wear a mask and hoodie so that she isn't seen by the people. And that's what Joshua did. He started making her laugh as Minghao slipped the hoodie and mask on.

Surprisingly, she did not say anything even when she realized that she had a mask and hoodie on.
When they reached, they saw a lot of people waiting outside the company, with cameras and phones ready to capture even a glimpse of the boys. Seung Cheol instructed Minghao to walk in the middle with Y/N in his arms as they walk around him.
Once they stepped out of the van, the crowd went wild with flashes and clicking noises. Cameras were shoved in their faces as they all tried to get a picture of the girl with them. There was a lot of pushing and pulling until they finally reached inside the building.
"Papa, I'm scared." She said, nearly in tears. It was understandable. After all, she was just a 6 y/o.
"It's okay, precious. We're safe now." Minghao replied, kissing the top of her head. She sniffled, placing her head on his chest as he carried her into their dressing room.
Everything was going smoothly, too smooth. It was suspicious. Y/N had not thrown any fits yet and all the boys were surprised. But it was calm before the storm. Once Y/N got to know that Minghao will be leaving her and going to a woman to get his makeup done, she couldn't stop the tantrum that was coming. She didn't want another lady touching her papa. She forbade it.
But alas, they weren't having it.
"Papa nooooo! Don't leave me!" She wailed, clinging onto his shirt.
"Precious, I'm not leaving you. I'm just getting my makeup done." He explained, rubbing her back.
"I don't want that lady touching you, papa." She whispered in his ears while pointing at Minghao's stylist. He laughed before speaking.
"Precious, it's okay. She's just doing my makeup." He explained, but she wasn't having it.
"No! I forbid it!" She said, raising a fist in the air. By this time, the others knew what was going on. Here, Woozi stepped in.
"Kitten, down, now!" He said in a stern voice. He knew in such situations, someone needed to be firm with her and though he loved her, he didn't mind being firm with her from time to time. Minghao slowly placed her down as she stood there, sniffling. "Good. Now, go to that sofa and sit there until we are done getting ready. Got it?" He added, a little softer this time.
She nodded as she slowly walked to the said sofa and sat on it, waiting for her papas to finish. The others were awestruck by how he handled the situation but they were getting late so there was no time to talk about it.
Once they were all ready, they handed Y/N to their manager as they stepped on the stage to shoot the interview while she was playing with her IPad backstage.
Everything was going smoothly until one particular topic came up.
"I'm sure the viewers will be pleased to know about the girl that was with you guys as you entered the building." The interviewer said. They all looked at Seung Cheol as he looked back at the boys. He knew exactly what to say.
"I'm sorry but we are not disclosing any information about her at the moment. And we'd also like everyone to refrain from making up theories and asking too many questions about her. We'll let you all know once we feel the time is right." Seung Cheol said, trying to sound as humble as possible. The interviewer nodded before apologizing and continuing to ask questions regarding them and their work only.
The next part went smoothly and once the interview was over, Hoshi was the first one to run backstage and scoop Y/N in his arms, hugging her as tightly as he could. The interview took 2 hours and all of them missed her though she was right there.
"Papa Hoshi, I can't breathe." She said. He slowly released her and spoke.
"I'm sorry, dimples, I was just too excited to see you." He said with a cheeky smile. She giggled at this.
They walked back to their make-up room to get their makeup off and get changed. This time, Y/N sweetly sat and waited on the sofa and threw no fits. The boys thought she was behaving well, but the truth was that she was too tired to throw tantrums.
She was barely able to keep her eyes open as all her papas got dressed. Once they were done, Minghao was about to go to Y/N when he saw her sleeping peacefully on the sofa. He smiled before removing his coat, placing it on her, and picking her up.
They walked to the van, sat in, and drove to a restaurant for a quick dinner.
They woke her up to eat and once she was done eating, she again fell asleep on Wonwoo's lap with her head resting on his chest. Wonwoo had finished eating and Minghao needed to eat since he was busy feeding her hence, she was with Wonwoo.
Jun, who was sitting beside Wonwoo had also finished eating and was busy clicking pictures of his sleeping daughter. He as well as the others couldn't wait to put up pictures of her on Twitter, Instagram, and any other social media that they have.
Once they were done eating, they went home and Minghao changed Y/N's clothes and put her to sleep on her bed. And all of them went to sleep themselves.
