Hongjoong and the kids entered the house as they returned from their grandparents' house. The sound of crying broke the silence of the house. Jongho was crying in Hongjoong's arms.

"Mama! He's crying since in the car. Why mama? Is he sick?" San ran to his mom as he saw Jiyeon from the stairs.

"I think he's hungry, or he needs a diaper change." Jiyeon held out her hand to Hongjoong to take Jongho. Jongho's face was red from crying.

She took him to her room to check on him. San and Yunho followed her together.

"Yunho. Can you tell uncle to make milk for Jongho? Everything is in the kitchen."

"Okay mama." Yunho went downstairs to tell Hongjoong.

"Uncle. Mama wants you to make milk for Jongho. Everything is in the kitchen."

"I'll bring it up later." Yunho nodded and returned to his mother's room.

Meanwhile Hongjoong...

"How to make milk? I've never done it before." He mumbled alone. He picked up a container of formula milk powder and read the label.

"Luckily there are instructions here."

He put hot water in the baby bottle and mixed it with normal water. Then he checked the temperature to make sure it wasn't hot for Jongho to drink. Then he put in the milk powder formula and close the lid. He swirled the bottle gently to dissolve the powder and water. After checking the temperature for the last time, he took it to Jiyeon's room.

Jiyeon struggled to calm down Jongho. San and Yunho also tried to make him stop crying but nothing worked.

"Here." Hongjoong gave a bottle to Jiyeon.

"Here baby." Jongho sucked the milk desperately. "He must be very hungry." Jiyeon stroked his hair.

"Poor baby." San plays with Jongho's tiny fingers.

Suddenly, Wooyoung appeared.

"Mama, Yeosang doesn't know how to button his pajamas." His hair is wet, it looks like he just took a shower.

"I will take care of it. Let's go." Hongjoong said and dragged Wooyoung out along with him.

"You two go take a shower. We'll have dinner later."

"Okay, bye bye Jongho." San said before going out with Yunho.

"Baby. Don't worry, mama will take care of you. You will grow up well with your brothers, go to school and do what you want." Jiyeon kissed Jongho's tiny hand.

Once he finished the whole milk, Jiyeon got ready to bathe him. She put him in the crib and went to get his clothes in the dryer. When she came back, she saw that Jongho was already asleep. She has no choice but to wake him up. He needs to shower before night and of course he cries when Jiyeon wakes him up.

"It's okay baby. Just a few minutes then you can go back to sleep. I don't know when was the last time you showered so that's why you need to shower now."

After crying for a while, finally he stopped crying when she bathed him. Sometimes he would giggle when she dabbed water on his cheeks. He slept again in his crib once she dressed him on.

She took the opportunity to shower and rest for a while before dinner time. She did not rest at all today since morning but she got used to it as she is a workaholic person.

--

The next morning, Jiyeon went to arrange of the adoption. She left Jongho with Hongjoong. The man is still not good at taking care of baby but he has no choice since that is his job. It seems that his job is more of a babysitter than a bodyguard. But still, his job is to take care of the family.
