Dr. Choi told Jisung to rest and he did say he would try, but the omega's convinced his doctor has no idea what it's like to try to rest when so many things need to be done with so little time. He's been so restless that laying in a bed sounds like torture. Minho tries to keep him contained to his bedroom, but the omega is persistent. Now that he can't work he has too much free time to nest.

So far, Jisung has sorted all of Lil' Min's diapers by size and washed all of her clothes that are at Minho's place. Most of her things are stored in the alpha's apartment; they agreed she and Jisung will be staying at Minho's for atleast her first month. Therefore, there's a lot that Jisung can organize in Minho's home at the moment.

Minho isn't exempt from Jisung's nesting craze either, because the older requested fewer hours at work so he could stay close to the heavily pregnant omega. He gets to experience Jisung's disorganized-organization system firsthand, and he's assigned many jobs that the younger can't do himself. That means that things like; changing lightbulbs, assembling furniture, or cleaning hard to reach places, are all put on Minho. The alpha has been put to work all day from as soon as Jisung woke up.

"They're so tiny, hyung. How will she even fit these?" The omega sighs thoughtfully when Minho comes back into the bedroom. Jisung is sitting cross-legged on the floor with a basket of laundry next to him. He's been folding their pup's washed clothes and putting them away in order of their size and color. It's a bit excessive, but it feels nice to organize things.

"I know. She'll be smaller than we think" Minho says with a soft smile as he comes to sit down on his bed and watch the younger man. He watches Jisung pause occasionally, looking down at the clothes in his hands with a far away look before folding them and tucking them away where they belong. It's not until he hears the omega sniffle that he notices Jisung was crying. "You're crying? Are you okay, Sung?" The alpha quickly comes to Jisung, squatting down so he could look him over.

"I'm okay, hyung. I think I'm a little overwhelmed. I don't know. There's just a lot going on" Jisung sniffles as he wipes delicate glistening tears from his cheeks. The alpha is looking at him in concern and Jisung feels bad for worrying him. "I promise I'm okay. It's just kinda hard to believe she's going to be here any day now. Things are going to change a lot." The younger man explains and Minho nods soberly.

"Yeah, they are." Minho replies gently and he looks at the younger with an unreadable expression. Moments like these make Jisung wish he could read the older's mind. If only he could see inside his head for a moment; just to know if he felt the same, if things were this scary for him too.

"Are you scared, hyung?" The omega's voice comes out weak and unsure. He's worried that he's alone in his fear. Does being afraid make him a bad parent already? Shouldn't he be more prepared?

"...Yeah. I am sometimes, so yeah" Minho responds and the answer surprises Jisung. He hadn't thought it was realistic that the older was truly unfazed and ready, but a part of him did believe Minho just didn't feel fear.

"But you've always wanted kids, right?" Jisung pauses for Minho to nod slowly in response before he's continuing. "I never saw myself as a dad, especially not in my early twenties. I know it's selfish, but I never wanted my life to revolve around anyone else. I like being able to do whatever I want, when I want, and I don't want to factor anyone else into that. I'm scared that I'll never be able to be selfish again, and that I'll be angry at her because I can't. What if I become resentful that my future isn't what I imagined?" The omega admits quietly, he's unable to look at Minho while he speaks. He's worried Minho will look at him with judgment. How could someone call themselves a parent while being so self-centered?
