Our Baby Stay

4.

"Thank you." He replied, surprise and confusion filled his voice and eyes. "I wish I could lay under that tree. It looks peaceful... C-can I draw in here? With you? While you de-stress?" "Sure..." Raine left his room and went to her own to grab her sketchbook and art utensils. When she got back to his room, he had already resumed painting.

Raine didn't want to push her luck, so she set up on the floor next to his bed. They sat in comfortable silence for about 15 minutes before Hyunjin looked over at her art to find her drawing him. It was a very good drawing considering she was 7yrs old. He felt his heart melt. So far, she hadn't acted up. She was very well behaved and even mature and laid back for her age.

He definitely saw what Felix and the others saw in her. Especially the fact that she needed to have an actual childhood. "Hey..." Raine looked up at him from her drawing. "That's a really good drawing. You're really good..... I'm sorry I've been mean. That was immature of me. Wrong of me. I'll do better." He smiled. Raine smiled and got up, hugging him. He tensed for a moment before relaxing and hugging her back.

"Does this mean you want me now?" He felt his heart shatter. "Of course, mini sunshine. Hey, do you wanna go with me to the studio? It could be a late night for all of us there and you have school tomorrow..." "No. I should probably stay here..." She half mumbled. She was worried about being alone with Minho, but she also had to get sufficient sleep for school and she still had her bath to get. Hyunjin nodded and stood up. "I've got to get going. See you later mini sunshine." He ruffled her hair before preparing to leave.

Raine went ahead and went to her room to get her pajamas out and her clothes for school the next day ready. She paused when she heard the front door open and shut, then continued to the bathroom after taking a deep breath. After her bath she went to the kitchen to find herself something to eat. She was surprised to find a plate of pizza rolls on the table with a note. "Your supper, runt. Eat then get to bed. Don't bother me."

She was confused. Did he care? Did he not care? Regardless, she sat down and ate her food. After she was done she cleaned up the dishes and went to bed as she was told. Minho stood on the other side of his door. He had gotten up when he heard her footsteps. When he heard her bedroom door close he just listened for a few moments before slowly opening his door and slowly opening hers. When he peeked in he saw her tucked in and sleeping.

No one was around to see his lips tug into a small smile. He quietly went back to his room and went back to reading the book he had been reading. The next day went the same way as yesterday, but since it was Friday Raine didn't have to prepare for school the next day. This time Felix was with Hyunjin when he picked her up. After they got home Raine immediately did her homework so that she wouldn't have to worry about it over the weekend.

"Oof!" She was tackled into a hug when Jisung learned that she was home. Minho scoffed and got up from the couch to go to his room for a moment. Changbin was in their home gym working out. Hyunjin, Seungmin, and Felix left to go to the store. Jeongin and Chan were at the studio, and Minho and Jisung were getting ready to go to the studio as well.

Raine still hadn't been introduced to the fans yet, but Chan said that they planned to do that over the weekend. "You be good ok. And don't be afraid to go to Changbin if you need something. If he's mean to you, I'll kick his butt." Jisung smiled. Raine chuckled a bit as he let her go, nodding to put his mind at ease. She imagined that Changbin would stay in the gym the entire time they're all gone.

Minho sneered at her as he walked by, grabbing Jisung's arm to drag him along and out the door. Raine stood there for a moment before finishing the last couple questions on her homework then putting it up in her room. She spent a few hours drawing, then she wrote in her journal, then she went to get a snack from the kitchen where she found a note. "Hey kiddo, had to meet the others at the studio. We'll be back before supper. We promise!" She smiled before it faded. Was Changbin still here? Also, when did they come inside? She didn't hear the front door.
