"Here, give him to me, I'll change him."
Mingyu held his hands out expectantly frowning when Wonwoo merely raised an eyebrow at him.
"I think maybe he's hungry," the omega said.
Mingyu let his arms fall to his sides. He thought he had Minseok's cries all figured out.
"Oh, are you sure?"
"Well, we only changed him an hour ago and..." Wonwoo's nose twitched, "...super-senses don't lie."
"But that's not his hungry cry."
"No, it's not." Wonwoo was staring down at Minseok in bewilderment. "What are you up to, little guy?"
Minseok's cries only grew louder. Mingyu reached for him again, and Wonwoo handed him over. Immediately, the crying stopped.
"Ah, so that's his game."
"What is?" Mingyu asked.
"Cuddles with Daddy. I think he's figured out which cry gets which of us to pay attention."
Mingyu was all for fair division of labor, and since he couldn't do the feeding, he tried to do the lion's share of the changes.
"Do you think so?"
"Who wouldn't want to be in the arms of a big, cuddly teddy bear."
Wonwoo was smiling so Mingyu wasn't worried about his mate feeling like their little one was playing favorites.
There was the sound of a door opening in the distance. "That'll be Taehyun."
"I can take this little guy to the lounge if you two need some peace and quiet."
"Actually, you should join us. It's about Jiyong and Seunghyun."
"Oh."
He did his best to dampen down the anger that swamped him on just hearing those names. As far as he knew, they were still keeping a low profile after what happened at the clinic. Just as well. If Mingyu had any hint of where they were, he wasn't sure anyone could stop him from going after them.
Mingyu followed Wonwoo into his study, taking a seat in a large armchair in the corner, settling Minseok in the crook of his arm. Wonwoo sat down at his desk, pulling some papers out of a folder as Taehyun walked in.
"Hey, guys. How is the little one doing?"
"The usual," Wonwoo replied. "Sleeping during the day, up all night, keeping us on our toes."
Taehyun grinned. "Just wait until he reaches toddlerhood. Taebom has brought hide and seek to a new level."
The whole pack was very aware, given he'd disappeared during lunch the previous week, prompting a pack-wide search only to find the wolf cub had crawled behind some curtains in the library and fallen asleep.
"How's Minjeong?"
"Teething," Taehyun said, running a tired hand across his eyes as he sat across from Wonwoo, setting a tablet down on the table.
Wonwoo pulled it closer, frowning at whatever he saw on the screen. Mingyu sat up, wondering what was going on.
"That makes three," the alpha said.
Wonwoo nodded but didn't say anything.
"Three what?" Mingyu asked them.
"Three jobs we've been offered this month that we're pretty sure originate with Jiyong and Seunghyun."
Mingyu growled under his breath, startling the baby in his arms. Settling Minseok against his shoulder, he rubbed a hand up and down his back until the baby calmed.
