🌸 Standstill (Part 2) - Seventeen 🌸

Fandom: SEVENTEEN
Little(s): Yoon Jeonghan (3-5)
Caregiver(s): Choi Seungcheol || S.Coups, Hong Jisoo || Joshua

Summary: Jeonghan is in a bad place, mentally. He just wants to be comforted and babied, but would rather be alone than be a burden.
A/N: Someone requested part two, so here you are! Loosely based on that one Weverse post recently where Joshua made cookies!

--------------------- 🖤 ---------------------

Seungcheol leaned over and kissed both of Jeonghan's tired little eyelids, making the little giggle a bit.

"Sleepy little Angel, huh?" Joshua teased, walking over from the doorway and sitting on Jeonghan's bed gently, rubbing up and down Jeonghan's back soothingly.

Jeonghan pouted. "I not sleepy!" He huffed, but his voice was so high pitched and cute that it was hard to take him seriously.

Joshua nodded in confirmation. "Sure thing, not sleepy at all." He exaggerated the syllables, making Jeonghan pout and hide under the blankets again.

Seungcheol knocked gently on the blanket, making a clicking sound with his tongue. "Hello? Angel, can you let us in? It's cold out here with no blankie!" Seungcheol pleaded playfully, making Joshua snicker fondly.

Jeonghan popped his head out again, blonde hair messy around his head. He tutted and wrapped the warm, fuzzy blanket around his caregivers begrudgingly, murmuring something under his breath.

Joshua nuzzled Jeonghan playfully, smiling wide. "Hi, my Angel. My sweet Hannie! Why don't you let go of all those yucky big-boy thoughts and have a sleepover with Shushu and Daddy?" He whispered, trying to sound as enticing as possible. Jeonghan thought for a moment before squealing and leaning against Joshua in agreement.

The youngest caregiver glanced outside to where Jeonghan still had the windows open. It was dark outside, but Jeonghan obviously wouldn't be able to sleep until someone paid attention to him, even a little bit.

Seungcheol seemed to notice this, holding Jeonghan up with ease as if he were a real baby and holding him on his lap. Jeonghan giggled and hid his face in Seungcheol's broad chest while the caregivers spoke.

Seungcheol was going to explain to their choreographer that Jeonghan was feeling under the weather and couldn't make it to dance practice in the morning. In the meantime, someone had to take care of said little and changing him from his normal, day clothes.

So, Joshua was tasked with changing Jeonghan into something more comfortable and cozy. Seungcheol left the room to call the staff and Joshua sat Jeonghan upright in his bed while he went to find the little's My Melody onesie and came back to help him out it on.

The little giggled as Joshua made funny noises whenever his arms or legs would fit the onesie. He squirmed and stuck out his tongue playfully, sleepily wiggling his limbs around in the soft onesie. Jeonghan seemed much littler now that he felt comfortable and safe.

Seungcheol shifted the phone against his shoulder and peeled into Jeonghan's room. He glanced at the pair as Joshua gave Jeonghan a gentle kiss on the forehead and tickled his tummy. It was much too late for such a baby to be awake, but he decided to let it slide. Staying up late for one night wouldn't hurt, he guessed.

Seungcheol finished calling the choreographer finally, going across the hall and changing himself into pajamas as well; he didn't realize just how late it was and forgot to take off his outside clothes earlier in the evening, so worried about Jeonghan.

When we returned to Jeonghan's room, the little wasn't there. He perked his head in the bathroom, but neither the baby nor Joshua were there either.

Then he checked the kitchen, sighing in relief as he spotted the two looking around in the pantry like frantic little field mice.

"We're gonna bake cookies, Daddy!" Jeonghan beamed, bouncing around with a bag of flour in his hands. Seungcheol chuckled as Joshua plucked the flour away and placed it on the counter.

"You shouldn't run around with heavy things like that, Angel. What if it fell on your little toes? My poor baby would get hurt." Joshua explained slowly, making Jeonghan pout.

The little waddled over to the ingredients, climbing up and sitting politely on a barstool. "Sorry Shushu."

"It's okay. Now, let's start making these yummy cookies!"

"Yummy cookies!" Jeonghan repeated, doing a little happy scoot and shaking his fists.

Baking the cookies went well for a while... and then it didn't. When the cookies were done, Joshua had opened up the over door and Seungcheol walked towards the countertops to find oven mitts to put on -one pair for him, one for Joshua, and one pair for Jeonghan. Unfortunately, Jeonghan had other plans.

The little reached into the oven to excitedly grab the cookies before he touched the hot tray and shrieked, making Seungcheol dive down and cover his mouth quickly, careful not to wake anybody else up.

"Woah!" Joshua nearly had a heart attack, kneeling next to Jeonghan worriedly. He looked at Jeonghan's hand as Seungcheol kept holding the little.

"Baby, others are sleeping." Seungcheol hissed, softening his voice after and saying "Let's get that boo-boo taken care of, okay? Burns need special attention."

Jeonghan bit his lip and nodded, trying his hardest not to cry too loudly. Seungcheol picked Jeonghan up and hoisted him in his lap as Joshua took the cookies out of the oven and placed them on the cooling rack, before chasing after the pair and finding them in the bathroom.

"Make sure not to pick at this, okay?" Seungcheol said sternly, making Jeonghan nod. "Don't touch it, or or won't heal."

"Yes, Daddy." Jeonghan sniffled, wincing at the antibacterial that Seungcheol was putting on the burn.

Joshua entered the bathroom, digging around the medicine cabinet for the first-aid kit. Inside, he found the Disney princess band-aids and took a few out, holding them in the palm of his hand.

"Okay, Angel!" He held out various band-aids as Seungcheol stood up to get something from another room. Joshua held up the princess band-aids for Jeonghan to see clearly.

"Do you want the Belle band-aid? Or the Mulan one? Oh, there's even a Rapunzel one and an Encanto one!" Joshua's eyes widened in excitement as he talked softly and cheerfully. "See? It's Mirabel."

"I want... um" Jeonghan narrowed his eyes, forgetting about the accident and focusing solely on picking the bestest band-aid. He pointed at the Encanto one and smiled. "I want Encanto!"

Joshua obliged, getting on one knee to dramatically place the bandaid on the burn. He even kissed it for extra good luck, something that made Jeonghan's face turn bright pink.

"Angel! I found Toram! He's so, so very proud of you! Burns aren't easy, y'know?" Seungcheol walked into the bathroom and handed the large plushie to Jeonghan, who squealed and held it close to his chest, waddling a bit. Joshua and Seungcheol's hearts could just explode watching their Angel like this.

"Now what do you say we eat cookies and watch Encanto until you feel sleepy?" Joshua faux gasped, theatrically holding his head in his hands like a dramatic YouTuber might. Jeonghan nodded and the three of them held hands to the living room, sitting on the couch as Seungcheol set up the Disney+.

The movie began and Jeonghan started to sing, but after a while the singing died down and Jeonghan got quieter. The cookies they'd made were delicious and Jeonghan ate almost four whole cookies!

After a while, Jeonghan spoke up. "I... I feel tired, Shushu..." Jeonghan's eyelids were droopy and his hand fell into his lap, the rest of the cookie forgotten before long. Joshua cooed and picked Jeonghan up with a grunt, princess carrying him back to his bedroom as delicately as he could.

Seungcheol waved goodnight to Jeonghan although he couldn't see, fond smile on his face as he cleaned up cookie crumbs left behind.

Joshua laid the little down gently in his bed, pulling the covers up to Jeonghan's chin and tucking him in tight so that he'd stay warm and not move too much. He reached over to the nightstand next to him and pops the soother past Jeonghan's lips, cooing as the little instinctively suckled on it. He couldn't help but stare at his best friend in front of him, sleeping so peacefully and so very cutely.

"Goodnight, Angel." Joshua kissed Jeonghan's forehead and the little squirmed a bit in his sleep.
