"Auntie?"

I turned my head towards the door, I was standing by the bathroom mirror, putting my eyeliner down onto the edge of the sink even though I just had a few strokes left.

"Yes, Yoonbinnie?" I smiled warmly at the boy who was peeking out behind said door, waving to encourage him to come in if he wanted to.

And he did, letting out a yawn as he waddled towards me, his pyjama shirt riding up to show his little tummy when he stretched.

I reached down to tickle it, and Yoonbin giggled, stumbling backwards a bit again to try to escape my tickles.

"It tickles!" He exclaimed, looking up at me with a playful smile.

"I know, that's the point~" I smiled back, patting his head. "How are you feeling today? Had a nice night's sleep?"

Yoonbin nodded softly, waddling even closer to me to wrap his arms around my leg and hug it. "Mhm. But auntie, can um.. help?"

He pointed towards the toilet, bouncing on his toes a little, seeming like he had to go.

I hadn't helped him with that before, but hopefully he'd tell me what he needed me to do.

"Yeah, of course I can help you, sweetie." I smiled, I thought it was nice to see him trust me more the closer we got.

And so we went over there and with the guidance of Yoonbin, I helped him use the bathroom.

We both washed our hands together afterwards to make sure we'd be all clean for breakfast, I knew Jeongin was making it as I'd visited him in the kitchen before going to the bathroom to do my makeup for the day.

And I thought that Yoonbin might leave the room and go to Jeongin once he was done with his business, but as I got back on track and finished up my eyeliner, I saw him stand in the doorway and watch me like he had earlier.

So as I screwed the lid back onto the eyeliner, I turned to him again.

"What's on your mind, hm?" I asked sweetly.

"How do auntie draw that stuff on eyes?"

Yoonbin was looking at me with big, curious eyes and it was so cute.

"I use this thing called eyeliner, and it takes a lot of practice to do it well, but I think I'm getting the hang of it now." I grinned at his intrigued expression, putting my makeup back into its bag. "Do you think it looks nice, Yoonbin?"

"Yes!" He smiled, bouncing a little. "Can I also have cool eye drawins?"

I chuckled. "I don't know— We'd have to ask Jeonginnie first. But I think breakfast might be ready in a moment, so let's eat and talk about it with him?"

Heading over to where Yoonbin was waiting, he reached his arms out towards me, that motion meaning he wanted me to pick him up.

And I did, giggling as he nuzzled my cheek before laying his head on my shoulder.

"Okay, auntie. Go?"

"Mhm~ You're such a sweet boy, you know that?" I wore a warm smile, taking him out of the bathroom and towards the kitchen.

I heard the sizzling of a frying pan, which meant breakfast was still not completely done, but I could probably keep Yoonbin entertained for a little longer.

"Thank you, auntie." He said, picking his head back up again and stretching his neck out to peck my cheek.

The affectionate gesture made me melt, and the smile on my face only grew wider.
