It was a lazy afternoon in the SEVENTEEN dorm, the kind where nothing much was happening, but there was an undercurrent of chaos lurking, especially with Seungkwan and Soonyoung in charge of Seokmin. Joshua had stepped out for the day, leaving strict instructions that Seungkwan and Soonyoung had to take care of Seokmin while he was gone. Given their track record, that was a bold decision, but Joshua trusted them. Mostly.

Seokmin was feeling extra clingy today, wanting nothing more than attention and affection from those around him. He sat on the couch, his legs tucked up, looking small and soft as he hugged his knees to his chest. His eyes kept darting to Seungkwan and Soonyoung, who were standing a few feet away, clearly plotting something. And Seokmin could already sense the impending chaos.

Seungkwan cleared his throat dramatically, arms crossed, and stared at Soonyoung like they were about to make an announcement. "Alright, Seokminnie. Since Joshua-hyung is out running errands, we are now officially in charge."

Soonyoung puffed out his chest, grinning wide. "Which means, you're gonna have the most fun day ever!"

Seokmin blinked up at them, tilting his head, his voice soft. "But I don't want fun... I just wanna cuddle." He gave them the biggest, most innocent eyes, the kind that could make even the coldest heart melt.

Seungkwan softened, but only for a moment. "Cuddles can wait. First, we have to establish some rules." He pulled out a clipboard, which looked far too serious for what was happening.

Seokmin's eyes widened at the sight of the clipboard. "Rules?" he asked, his voice even smaller, making him look like a kid.

"That's right!" Seungkwan replied, flipping through pages like he had drafted a whole report. "We need structure, Seokmin. You can't just-"

"Rule one," Soonyoung interrupted, throwing an arm around Seokmin's shoulders. "No boring stuff! We're here to make sure you have the best time while Joshua's gone!"

Seungkwan glared at Soonyoung. "Soonyoung hyung, this is serious!"

Seokmin couldn't help the small giggle that escaped his lips. His two friends were like a comedy duo, always bickering, always making him laugh. He reached out and tugged lightly on Seungkwan's sleeve. "Kwanie... can we just cuddle? Please?"

Seungkwan melted instantly, his resolve crumbling as Seokmin gave him those big eyes. "Ugh, fine. But only because you're cute," he muttered, sitting down beside him on the couch and pulling Seokmin into his side.

Seokmin snuggled up to Seungkwan immediately, his hands clutching onto Seungkwan's shirt like a child. "Thank you, Kwanie." he mumbled, his voice barely above a whisper.

Soonyoung, not wanting to be left out, dropped onto the other side of Seokmin and threw an arm around his shoulders. "Hey, I want cuddles too! Don't forget about me, Kyeom!"

Seokmin smiled sleepily, leaning into Soonyoung as well. "You too, Soonie hyung..." His voice was so soft, so small, and both Seungkwan and Soonyoung shared a look, their hearts practically bursting at how adorable their friend was.

"So," Seungkwan said after a moment, his voice softer now that he was in full caregiver mode. "How's our little Kyeom today? Anything you want?"

Seokmin looked up at him with those wide, innocent eyes. "Snacks...?"

Before Seungkwan could respond, Soonyoung was already halfway to the kitchen. "I'm on it! Snack duty is my specialty!"

Seungkwan groaned, rubbing his temples. "hyung, no. You're going to burn the kitchen down."

From the kitchen, Soonyoung's voice rang out, "You can't burn a sandwich, Kwan!"

Seokmin giggled again, his body vibrating with laughter as he pressed his face into Seungkwan's shoulder. "You two are funny."

Seungkwan smiled down at him. "Yeah, well, someone has to keep you entertained while Joshua's out. But don't get too used to it, alright? I'm not as soft as he is."

Seokmin pouted up at Seungkwan. "But you're soft now..."

Seungkwan froze, his face flushing a bit. "That's... that's just because I'm letting you cuddle me. Don't push your luck, Kyeom."

Seokmin grinned, clearly pleased with himself as he nestled further into Seungkwan's side. "Thank you, Kwanie mommy."

Seungkwan nearly choked. "Mommy?!"

Before Seungkwan could protest further, Soonyoung came bustling back in with a tray of what could only be described as a bizarre assortment of snacks-half of a sandwich, a banana, some chips, and a random cup of pudding.

"Voilà! The snack platter of champions!" Soonyoung declared proudly, setting the tray down in front of them.

Seungkwan stared at it in disbelief. "What... what is this?"

Soonyoung grinned. "A little bit of everything! Kyeom needs variety!"

Seokmin, looking at the random mix of snacks, tilted his head and then smiled. "It's cute, Soonie hyung. I like it."

Soonyoung beamed with pride. "See? Seokmin likes it. That's all that matters."

Seungkwan sighed, shaking his head. "You're lucky you're cute, Soonyoung."

Seokmin carefully picked up a chip and nibbled on it, still snuggled between the two. "Thank you, hyung" he said softly, his eyes fluttering shut as the warm comfort of his friends surrounded him.

Soonyoung, feeling proud of himself, reached over and gently poked Seokmin's cheek. "You know, Kyeom, you're the cutest when you're like this. All tiny and cuddly."

Seokmin blushed, his face burying itself in Seungkwan's side again. "Am not..."

Seungkwan and Soonyoung shared a knowing look. "You totally are," they said in unison, making Seokmin giggle shyly.

Just as Seokmin was getting comfy enough to doze off, the front door opened, and Joshua walked in, holding a bag of groceries. He paused when he saw the scene in front of him-Seokmin sandwiched between Seungkwan and Soonyoung, snacks scattered on the table, and the two hyungs looking far too proud of themselves.

"Well, well," Joshua said with a raised eyebrow. "What's going on here?"

Seungkwan looked up, feigning innocence. "Oh, you know. Just taking excellent care of your boyfriend."

Soonyoung grinned and added, "We've been perfect daddies for the day."

Joshua chuckled, walking over and setting the groceries down before kneeling in front of Seokmin, who was still snuggled up. "How's my bub doing?"

Seokmin smiled sleepily up at Joshua. "I missed you, Daddy."

Joshua's heart melted, and he leaned in to press a soft kiss to Seokmin's lips. "I missed you too, baby. Were these two behaving?"

Seokmin giggled. "Kwanie hyung was a mommy."

Seungkwan turned bright red while Joshua laughed softly. "Is that so?"

Soonyoung puffed out his chest again. "And I made snacks!"

Joshua glanced at the strange assortment of food and nodded, amused. "Yeah, I can see that."

Seungkwan sighed dramatically. "Alright, alright. Our job's done. You can take over now, Joshua-hyung."

Joshua smiled, gently pulling Seokmin into his arms. "Thanks for taking care of him, you two."

Seokmin immediately curled up in Joshua's lap, his eyes fluttering closed as he whispered, "Love you, Daddy."

Joshua kissed his cheek. "Love you too, cutie."

And as Seungkwan and Soonyoung left the room, they couldn't help but smile at the sight of Seokmin, safe and happy in Joshua's arms. Chaos and all, they had done their job for the day.
