Lee Know, ever the playful one, decides to take charge of the situation. "Alright, little Picasso," he coos, picking up Felix, "bath time!" Felix, with paint mixing joyously down his cheeks, lets out a gurgle of agreement.
Lee Know preps the bath, running the water at a lukewarm temperature and gathering an army of rubber duckies. He carefully dips Felix in, but the moment the water touches him, Felix throws his head back and lets out a bloodcurdling shriek.
Lee Know, caught off guard, fumbles with a washcloth, trying to calm Felix down. The scene descends into chaos as Felix splashes wildly, turning the bath into a miniature war zone. Lee Know, soaked from head to toe, tries in vain to sing soothing songs, only to be met with even louder wails.
Just then, the bathroom door creaks open, and Changbin peeks in. He takes one look at the soaked Lee Know and the screaming Felix and bursts into laughter. "Looks like you need some backup, hyung," he chides, stepping in with a calm demeanor that Felix seems to respond to.
Changbin, with surprising expertise, scoops Felix out of the tub and wraps him in a fluffy towel. He bounces Felix gently, humming a lullaby his own mother used to sing to him. Miraculously, Felix's cries subside, replaced by soft hiccups and drowsy blinks.
Lee Know stares at Changbin in admiration. "Where did that come from?"
Changbin shrugs, a small smile playing on his lips. "Little siblings, hyung. You learn a thing or two along the way."
