secrets (little taeyong)

Chapter 42

Doyoung's POV

The dorm was filled with laughter and fun. Jongwoo, Renjun, and Chenle were playing games with Taeyong, who was babbling away in his own special language. It was really cute to listen to!

While they were keeping Taeyong entertained, I was in the kitchen making a yummy lunch for all of us. I could hear them giggling, and Taeyong's happy baby sounds floating in from the other room. It made me feel so warm inside.

When the food was ready, I called out, "Lunchtime!" I wanted everyone to come eat the meal I had worked hard to prepare.

We all sat around the table, joking and teasing each other like we always do. Taeyong was cuddled in Jongwoo's arms, looking around with wide eyes and making his adorable baby noises. I could tell he was enjoying the lively mood.

We talked and laughed while we ate. Taeyong would get everyone's attention every now and then. He reminded us of the special bond we all shared in taking care of him.

After eating, it was time to focus on Taeyong. I gently picked him up from Jongwoo and held him close. He kept on babbling in that sweet way of his that filled the room.

I decided he needed his bottle of yummy chocolate milk. As I got it ready, Taeyong watched me closely. I could tell he was eager and trusting me to give him what he needed.

With the bottle ready, I went over to Taeyong. His eyes lit up when he saw it. He started drinking right away when I put the nipple to his lips. I sat back down with the others, baby Taeyong happily drinking in my arms.

We kept talking about anything and everything. Even with the tough times lately, our friendship was strong. That showed in the way we joked and shared stories.

But then I realized - where was Taeyong's pacifier? He must have noticed, too, because he started to whimper and reach around for it.

I quickly asked, "Does anyone know where Taeyong's pacifier is?" He needed it to comfort him. "it might be in the living room. I don't know, though. I'm just guessing" Mark said. I rushed off to find it.

Searching around, I finally spotted the pacifier glowing softly. I picked it up, so relieved I had found it. I brought it back to Taeyong and gently gave it to him. As soon as it touched his lips, the room went quiet and peaceful.

With the pacifier in place, Taeyong relaxed. I kept talking with the others, swaying a bit to soothe the baby in my arms.

Laughter once again filled the dorm. We shared funny stories and jokes, strengthening our bond even more. Taeyong's presence reminded us of the special care we all shared.

Soon, he fell into a deep sleep, pacifier bobbing gently. Watching Taeyong nap so peacefully surrounded by the chatter of his friends made the dorm feel like a safe space. We found comfort in each other.
