Heeseung finds it difficult to maneuver around Beogyu and Yeojun's now very crowded apartment, but he manages. The apartment got messy quickly with his holiday around the corner and the twins home. Heeseung found himself awake with the couple to help tend to the pups. Feeding, changing, and just holding them became part of his daily (and nightly) routine.

Even now, he helped Beomgyu find Minjoon's favorite pacifier. It was the kind that had a little stuffed animal attached. Minjoon's was an elephant, his favorite.

"Ah! Found it!" Beomgyu shouts regrettably, waking Minjoon who was once peacefully sleeping against his chest in a carrier. His wails are loud, his pale face turning a light shade of pink. Beomgyu quickly quieted his child as he tossed the pacifier to Heeseung.

"Clean this for me, yeah?" Heeseung rolls his eyes as he catches the toy. He grumbles about not being the father as he heads to the sink honoring his friend's request. When he returns Beomgyu gives him a smile before gently pushing the soother past Minjoon's lips. The baby latches on quickly, his little hand moving to hold onto the toy once his eyes focus on it.

"Thank you. I didn't make you late right?" Beomgyu questions. Heeseung shakes his head. Even if Beomgyu had made him late he'd still be here to help.

"Nah don't sweat it. I told Sunghoon I might be a bit late."

"Well, don't keep him waiting for too long. You know he gets sulky without you."

"Haha. I'll be back later!"

"Just know if you come home late and wake the twins you're watching them!" Beomgyu calls as Heeseung leaves the apartment. He shoots a quick message to Sunghoon before driving to meet him.

When he arrives, Heeseung takes in his surroundings. It was some outdoor theater at another school with bright decorations. There were banners and fliers all around, brightly colored with bold text. Heeseung keeps his head down as he texts Sunghoon. He's completely unaware someone is following him until a broad chest touches his back, two hands pressed to his eyes restricting his sight.

"Guess who~" Despite pitching his voice higher Heeseung knows it's Sunghoon right away.

"Hmm hard to tell," Heeseung pretends to contemplate before snapping his fingers "Oh I know! Must be the cute guy from physics!" he cheers. Almost immediately Sunghoon removes himself from Heeseung.

"What cute guy from physics?"

Heeseung spins on his heels facing his mate with faux surprise. "Ah Sunghoon, I didn't recognize you!"

"What cute guy from physics?" Sunghoon repeats, his arms crossed over his chest. Heeseung bites the inside of his cheek to keep from smiling. He wonders how the others put up with Sunghoon's jealousy. Instead of answering he shoves his hands in his pockets seemingly disinterested.

"Should we go that way?" he walks off without waiting for a response knowing Sunghoon will follow. The younger does so with a scowl remaining on his face. Poor boy. Heeseung really should put him out of his misery but Sunghoon was just so cute, frowning like this.
