A knock could be heard at the door, making EDEN smile.

"Your hyungie is here Joongie" EDEN gently caressed the little's arm, causing him to whine.

The producer opened the door for the oldest member of ATEEZ, who immediately rushed to Hongjoong.

"Joongie baby are you okay?" Hongjoong looked up to see who was calling him.

"Hwa... what are you doing here?" mumbled sleepily the leader.

"You were little so I called him as he knows more than me about you" explained EDEN. Hongjoong let out a groan and covered his face with his hands, wanting the ground to swallow him.

"It's alright, there's nothing wrong with regressing" reassured the producer. Seonghwa nodded, confirming his words.

"Did I do anything embarrassing?" sighed Hongjoong.

"No you didn't. You were absolutely adorable" assured EDEN shaking his head.

"Hyung stop" whined Hongjoong pouting.

"Aww sorry buddy" chuckled EDEN seeing how the leader was close to slipping again.

"Mama, we go home now? Joongie wan pway wif hyungies" pouted the little looking at Seonghwa with puppy eyes.

"Hyungies are still working baby, but they should be home in an hour. Can you walk by yourself?" asked Seonghwa. Hongjoong nodded, standing up but falling back on the couch right after, making Seonghwa laugh lightly and EDEN coo at him. The little huffed and pouted, before trying to stand up again with a similar result as before. Whining the leader made grabby hands towards his caregiver, who immediately picked him up.

"Can you open the door for me hyung?" EDEN nodded and did as he was told, keeping the door open for the two younger boys.

"Thanks hyung. Say thanks Joongie" requested softly Seonghwa.

"Thankies hyungie" the little smiled brightly, making EDEN chuckle.

"No problem buddy. Go play with your hyungs now, hm?" Hongjoong nodded and waved goodbye.

At home, the little was quite upset not seeing the others at home ready to play with him.

"I told you, they're coming home soon. They're not going to come faster if you sit in front of the door. You should eat something" Seonghwa was trying to convince the leader to have something to eat, but Hongjoong wanted to wait for his hyungies.

"Buh mama! I hab to wait!" complained the little, not wanting to miss the others arriving.

"What about this. You can stay here if you eat something, alright? Mama will bring you a snack and you can eat it here" Hongjoong thought about it for a moment before nodding.

"Thanks minion. Mama will be right back" assured the older before rushing off to get some food. Cutting an apple he could hear Hongjoong squealing and shouting in joy before the rest of the members' voices filled the dorm.

Seonghwa sighed before taking the apple slices to the living room, where everyone was greeting the little.

"Feed him please, he's been asking for you all day and he hasn't eaten anything" murmured the oldest handing Yeosang the plate he was holding. The younger was taken aback but agreed, managing to feed the apple slices to the leader.

"Good boy" murmured Yeosang once the plate was empty, making Joongie smile brightly. Everyone cooed at how adorable the little was.

"Wanna play with hyungies minion?" asked San, smiling excitedly. Hongjoong nodded eagerly.
