heuningkai knocked on a door which he was really unfamiliar with, wondering if he reached the correct place. the wood opened and to heuningkai's relief, it was a concerned chenle, holding xingzuo with him.

"ah, kai, it's been a while..." chenle's expression changed to a wholesome beam as he let him inside. "what brings you here?"

"it's just been a week," heuningkai deadpanned, before letting out a small chuckle to loosen up the atmosphere. "and jisung actually asked me to come here, for some...stuff. anyways, where's he?"

"not even caring to talk to me or your nephew, isn't it?" chenle let out a sad beam before waving it off. "anyways, he's inside. what's the 'stuff' you both are planning out?"

"that's something neither my best friend's hus— i-i mean boyfriend or my nephew should know about," heuningkai stuttered out, mentally cursing at himself for almost ruining their secret. "anyways, i'll be going, can't waste more time!" he spoke in a teasing manner while poking xingzuo's cheek which made the toddler giggle happily.

once heuningkai immediately reached for the door, he shut the door quite loudly, startling chenle and the toddler along with it. groaning at their eccentric friendship, chenle frowned at the door as he consoled his son who was on the verge of crying. "fucking dumbasses."

"aunt lele! you shouldn't call them that!" bae decided to interrupt the conversation, startling chenle for the second time. "uncle ji and uncle kai aren't dumb! also what is fucking?"

"uh, b-bae, you're not supposed to say that word!" chenle's eyes went wide as he started to panic, as the older jisung would strangle him if he finds out...if though that is a stretch because the older would never do such a thing. "it's a word only supposed to be used by adults!"

"but what does it mean though..." she asked once again. "does it mean they're dumb...?"

"uh, o-of course not...! i was just, uh...mentioning they're the opposite of dumb, nothing else!" a a hudred thoughts racing in his mind, chenle blurted out awkwardly in an effort to not get bae into that side of the vocabulary. "besides, they're not dumb, why would i call them that?"

"oh, so can i call them fucking dumbasses too?!" bae's expression brightened like donghyuck's when he met taeil after who knows how long. before a horrified chenle could do anything about the situation, bae ran off to her dad who was busy doing chores, her voice crying off into the distance. "daddy, i learned new words!"

"so...how are we going to...do this...?"

heuningkai placed the velvet box on the table that he was hiding from chenle, glancing at jisung who was deep in thought. noticing the object on the table, jisung looked up, raising an eyebrow. "i did buy exactly what you told me to, no need to give me that face, ji," heuningkai deadpanned.

"it's not that..." jisung trailed off as he fidgetted his fingers, clearly nervous on how to approach chenle for such a cathartic event. it was certainly going to change their life for the better, and he wanted to make that as memorable as possible.

"look, i get it, ji. but you don't have to get so worked up in the first place. of course he'll say yes, he's not that stupid," heuningkai stated, which only made jisung mentally facepalm at that.

"it's not about that either, kai...it's just that...i want this to be really special for the both of us, and our little baby. i want this to be remembered, but i just...don't know where would be a good place for that..." jisung trailed off as he clutched his forehead in distress.

"maybe, let's ask your name twin hyung? he knows this place better, right—" heuningkai was cut off as a muffled yell in a really beautiful voice was heard behind the wood, which startled the two. "what the fuck was that?" jisung asked, partly confused and annoyed.

heuningkai opened the door to reveal a very distressed jisung, even more distressed than the younger jisung. the man looked like he witnessed his child commit a murder, but said child is beaming innocently like she did nothing wrong. chenle was in the corner, cowering and facepalming at the entire scenario.

"what happened hyung?" heuningkai asked jisung, who was still traumatized by whatever that just happened. he glanced at the younger, before hopelessly pulling his lips into a straight line. "who taught my child profanity?" the older asked, completely exhausted.

"aunt lele taught me! he told that uncle kai and uncle ji are fucking dumbasses," bae announced happily, which made everyone turn towards chenle, who immediately started to defend himself. "l-look, it wasn't my fault! i swear, i told bae that it's not good words to use!"

"you didn't..." bae defended. "you said they were good words."

"chenle, please," jisung started, sighing as he held bae's hand. "please don't ever swear near the babies, including yours. they will learn it and start using it even if you tell them it's not good to swear."

"sorry..." chenle apologized as he glanced at the 5 year old, before beckoning her towards him. "look, bae, what i said was really bad words, don't repeat that, okay? mom won't like that at all..."

thankfully, bae was the most mature 5 year old chenle ever had the chance of meeting, so she immediately understood the severity of bad words, while he chided himself for being so careless.

finally glad that the situation was over with, heuningkai cleared his throat to get the older's attention. hoping that jisung would not get the hint, heuningkai mouthed their secret plan to the older, to which he replied wordlessly with a serious nod. he then beckoned jisung inside the room while he explained to bae, only garnering their attention when the door closed.

"what the hell are they upto now for fuck's sake..." chenle rolled his eyes as he looked at the now closed door, before realizing what he just did. "oh my fucking— bae please don't learn these words!"

a/n: hi hello annyeong. early trash update because i couldn't handle chemistry anymore and i wanted to escape the mental torture by some writing. i ended up writing...this mess of a chapter and i really just want to get this out because the next chapter...you can guess what will happen.

i'm not saying what it is because the clues are painfully obvious even though my dumbass wanted to make it subtle. can't help it, i'm the queen of spoilers lmao

also i became so lazy to open microsoft word to check the damn word count as the "text" editor i'm using (vs code if you wanted to know) doesn't have a word count, i decided to make my own word counting thingy instead.

what the hell is wrong with me. it was just two fucking clicks, keith-
