---------------------------

Bang Chan is a 32-year old young man. He was in a happy marriage until last year, his wife, now ex-wife found someone knew and well, she was direct when it came to their two chilrden, Jisung and Baby Felix, she didnt wanted them, so Chan has to look not just after a two-month-old baby but also a two-year-old little kid. His coworker Changbin was always there for him and would really help him, but Chan always was declining it, saying he's fine on his own even tho he may or may not is struggling.

Hannie, his first child, was finally going into kindergarten and the little boy was so excited about it, that he was asking his dada everyday if he could go now, and everytime Chan had to tell him no, he sat on the floor in front of his dada's feet who was holding his little brother and was sulking about it. Chan was on the one side happy that the boy was so excited and happy about going into the kindergarten, first of all he could look after his second baby a bit better and secondly he could finally look after their house, clean it a bit until Felix would wake up again because he was hungry.

Chan really tried to look after Felix and Jisung the same, but he knew that babys in general need more attention, he didnt mean to pay less attention to Sungie then to the baby, and he really tried to make sure to explain it to the two-year-old boy but he wasnt sure if he understood that. Anyway, it was the weekend, sunday to be specific, Jisung knew that he just needs to sleep today and then will be tomorrow where he finally can go into kindergarten.

Chan already had a backpack for the boy and everything else he needed for the big day tomorrow. After they ate and Felix got his bottle he took the sleeping baby and his big baby into the bathroom, first of all to change Lix into a fresh diaper and his jammies and secondly to brush Hannies teeths so he also could change into his jammies and sleep, because it was already past his sleeping time. "Hannie? Do you wanna change first in your jammies while dada is taking Lixie to bed?" With a simple nod and a small grin the boy left together with his dad to put his jammies on.

Chan took Felix to his room to lay him in his bed, and after that he went to his older son to look what is taking him so long. When he went into the room he saw his son fighting with his sweatshirt, while his right arm was in the right hole, his head was in his left arm and with that the boy was stuck. "Dada? Dad help pwease?" With a little smile on his face he made himself noticeable. "I'm here baby, and I'm so proud of you! You did so well with your jammies, but your head has to go throug this hole so that your left arm can get through the one you had your head, you wanna try tomorrow evening again?" With a nod from the boy, Chan picked him up to go back to the bathroom, now finally brushing his teeth.

"You can go make nini after that okay? You must be so sleeply, hm? Dada will make it quick okay honey?" His slow blinking was enough for Chan to know he really has to be quick otherwise the boy would fall asleep, either way, after what felt like hours were only three minutes, he could rinse his mouth and there he got picked up again and taken to his room to sleep. He layed him down and wanted to cover his small body, but the boy had other plans. "Dada... cuddwes?" He smiled. "You wanna cuddle with dada for bit, okay. Come here.." he whispered, picked the boy back up and layed down with him, knowing that the boy would fall sleep in less then five minutes.

Still, Chan stayed longer, feeling bad that he cannot do so many things with his babyboy, because he most of the time have to look after Felix. He put a gentle kiss on his forhead and after 15 more minutes, he slowly put him into his bed, tucked him in, and left the room silently. With a silent sigh he went back down into the kitchen to clean everything up, turned all the lights off, locked the door and after that he also went to bed, knowing that his youngest son would wake him in less then two hours.

next morning

It was not even eight in the morning, but Chan was already awake, he dressed himself and relaxed in those few silent minutes he had because both kids were still sleeping. He went into the kitchen to get himself a glass of water and after that he began to make Jisungs breakfast for his first day in kindergarten but also at home and the bottle for the baby ready. After that was all done, he heard over the babyphone that the youngest among them was awake, so he walked back upstairs to go and get the hyper baby and also go and wake his big baby.

"Good morning there.. did you slept well darling, yes? Great, you come with me, waking your big brother?" Again, the boy just made some cute noises and went right into his dadas arms. "Well, I'll just take that as a yes." the boy grinned behind his pacifier and with that, they went into Hannies room who surprisingly was already awake and also dressing himself already. "Good morning Hannie.. You already dressing yourself Sweetie?" Silence. "Gud monin dada! Yes,  Hannie dressted self. Looks gud?" Chan smiled. "Yes! Absolutely, you look stunning baby! Like the beautiful little boy you are! You hungry? I made breakfast." With one last look at his closet he nodded and went with his dada and baby lix back downstair into the kitchen.

They sat down, and while Chan was feeding Felix again, Jisung was just staring at his food. After a few minutes Chan noticed it and looked worriedly at the boy. "Sweatheart.. are you okay? Why you not eating? Does it not taste good?" He stayed silent looking at his dada with some kind of hesitation, which Chan noticed. "Dont worry I wont be mad or anything.. now tell me, whats wrong with the food?" He patiently waited for the boy to form his sentence,  in the meantime Felix was done with the bottle and burped. Chan was putting him in his crib where he directly found interest in the rattles and stuff that was hanging above him.

So Chan could take all his attention on Jisung. "Come one, tell me. Whats wrong, you're never that quiet. Do you want something else, instead of that? Is it that?" After a small nod, Chan hugged him. "Oh that is totally fine. I'm sorry that I didnt asked you first what you want for breakfast and just made something.. Do you wanna choose it now for yourself?" With just the big grin he had on his face, Chan took the old food and put it on the counter, maybe the boy want it later as some kind of snack.

"Dada? Hannie can hab nana (banana) and lolohurt (yoghurt) pwease?" 

"Of course you can darling. Should dada cut your banana?" 

He nodded and with that he opened the fridge and got a vanilla yoghurt out, a spoon and put it in front of his son, after that he waited to see if he could open it and when he managed that, he went to begin and cut the missing banana. Lixie could still be heard playing with the rattles so he wasnt worried about his baby. With the missing peace of Jisung's breakast he went back to him to see his messy baby full of yoghurt. "Well.. I guess dada not only need to change Lixie but also you again, hm?" All he got as an answer was the cute giggles of his son, which is why he just smiled.
