"Where are you going?"

Felix turned his head to look at who had spoken to him; Changbin. "I'm just getting dressed," Felix answers as he fixes the clothing top he had slipped on. Changbin hums and enters the room, slipping his arms to the male's waist. "You haven't gone to work in a while," Changbin said and Felix's eyebrows furrowed. "I thought I told you that I quit," Felix said and Changbin's eyebrows mimicked him. "What? Why?" Changbin questions and Felix shrugged. "I don't know, I just felt like it," Felix answered and Changbin gave a slow nod.

Felix's hands settled on Changbin's face with a smile. "But, I did need to actually go somewhere," Felix said and pecked his lips. "Where?" Changbin asks and Felix pulls away. "Pet store. The twins' birthday gift is ready," Felix said as he grabbed his phone and wallet. "They're getting a pet?" Changbin asks and Felix hums. "It's also for me, but they've wanted an animal since they could talk," Felix answered and double-checked where his money was held. "Papa! When do we start our adventure?"

Felix looked past Changbin to see Michi who was waiting with his brother. "Right now! Go to the front door so we can start," Felix said as he walked over; scooping Michi up and pressing kisses all over his face. "Yeah! Adventure time!" Michi said as his feet touched the ground and Felix's arms left his side. Michi ran after his brother and Felix smiled with a hum. "You coming?" Felix asks as he turns around to face him. "Hell yeah," Changbin said as he walked over to the male. "Good, the twins would've complained," Felix said and smiled, slipping around the doorframe and walking down the hallway to put his shoes on.

Changbin smiles and follows the small family and puts on his shoes. "I'll drive," Changbin said as he took the keys from Felix's hands. "Don't crash my car or I'm going to shock you," Felix whispers, and Changbin raises a brow. "I thought you said you couldn't," Changbin said and Felix smiled. "Who knows," Felix said and opened the door, the twins making a run for the elevator.

Changbin and Felix followed behind, Changbin closing the door and locking it. "Mr. Lee!" A voice called and Felix turned his head, smiling at the girl. "Hey, how has school been?" Felix asks as he pulls Changbin over to the elevator. "Great!" She said and looked at the boys and started a small conversation with them. The elevator dinged and she looked up. "Have fun! I have to finish homework," She said and waved, ruffling the 4-year-olds hair before quickly running off. Felix smiles and follows the twins into the elevator; Changbin closes behind.

"She seems like a sweet kid," Changbin said as he hooked his arm around Felix's waist. Michi pressed the bottom button, the ground floor, and stood next to his brother. "Yeah, she's offered to babysit a few times," Felix answers and gradually leaned against the male, "but I'd rather have the others babysit them." Changbin hummed in agreement.

"Woah! Cucciolo!"

Felix laughs at Changbin's face. "He said puppy," Felix said and gently pushed the boys towards the puppy area with Changbin following. "You know they speak Italian, I don't know why you're surprised," Felix whispers towards Changbin before striking a conversation with the person working. "I know, I haven't heard them speak it in a while," Changbin muttered and Felix gently flicked his side. The worker opened the door and the kids skipped inside with Changbin and Felix following behind. "Who's first," Felix asks as he kneeled in between them to get their answer. "Police dog," Michi whispers and Felix chuckles and he has Changbin go inform the worker about the dog.

Changbin came back after conversing with the work and he sat next to Felix. "Are you sure this is a good idea?" Changbin whispers and Felix nods his head. "Yeah, it'll be a good way for them to take care of something and it gives me some company when I put them in daycare," Felix answered and looked at him. "Okay," Changbin said with a smile and pressed his forehead against Felix's who was smiling. Michi's voice caught their attention and Felix looked over at the word he shouted, "Cucciolo!"

Felix held them down as the puppy ran over and started licking the toddler's faces. Felix smiles and sits back as he watches the 4-year-olds play with the puppy, running around or playing tag. Felix felt the male next to him shift and he looked over. "Everything okay?" Felix asks and Changbin hums. "Yeah, they're just calling me so..." Felix smiles at him. "It's okay, they'll probably take a while to choose another dog," Felix answers, and Changbin smiles, kissing his cheek in thanks before exiting the adoption area.

A few minutes passed and Changbin had finally ended the call with Chan. He sighs and pinches. "Changbin?" The male looked up at the voice and he gave an awkward smile towards the woman. "Hey, how's it been?" Changbin asks as he tries to keep his distance from her. "It's been okay, I honestly wished we hadn't stopped talking," She said with a smile and Changbin gave a little one. "Ah, really?" Changbin said and she hummed. "Yeah," she said and was about to continue when a childlike voice echoed through the aisle he was in.

"Mr. Binnie! Papa said ''I'm it and I will find you!"

Changbin turned his head and smiled at the toddler that came sprinting down the hallway. "I found you!" Michi said and attacked his legs, almost causing the adult to fall. "Hey, crazy," Changbin said and picked up the toddler who was a giggling mess. "I got you! I got a treat," Michi said and hugged the adult who smiled. Changbin turned his head to look behind him and he smiled at Felix who was holding a small basket in one hand while his other was holding a leash that was attached to the new puppy.

"Who is this cutie?"

Changbin looked at the female with a raised brow. "My kid," He said and her eyes widened. "What?" She questions loudly but luckily nobody was around to give a judgmental look. "Yeah," He answered and slowly stepped back, Michi looking at the women. "She looks crazy," Michi whispers and Changbin chuckles. "Okay, crazy, let's go meet papa," Changbin said and discarded the women who seemed to want to question him but couldn't. Changbin turned around and walked towards Felix, the adult stopping with a smile. "Who's that?" He asked and Changbin shook his head. "I'll explain later," he answered and set Michi down who started petting the puppy. "Have they named him yet?" Changbin asked and Felix shook his head. "No, they'll name him soon though."
