JoJo walked through the bathroom door as Hyunjin was in the shower.
"Jin, don't forget; I have a meeting tomorrow, so you need to take Juno to work." She called loudly.
"What?" Hyunjin called.
JoJo repeated herself, yelling a little louder.
"Okay." Hyunjin replied.
JoJo left and went to put Juno to bed.
"But daddy said he would put me to sleep!" Juno protested.
"Daddy's busy." JoJo said.
"But he promised!" Juno said angrily.
JoJo sighed. "Fine. Get your jammies on, and wait for your dad while you lay down."
Hyunjin walked out of the shower and went to straight to lay down in bed beside JoJo.
"Juno's waiting for you." JoJo said.
"You didn't put him to bed yet?" Hyunjin asked, sounding a bit grumpier than usual.
"No." JoJo said defensively. "He said you promised to put him to bed."
"I don't think I said that."
"Well you must've forgotten then, because Juno never forgets what you tell him."
Hyunjin sighed in annoyance. He pushed himself up tiredly and went to Juno's room.
"Okay Juno. Time to go to sleep." Hyunjin said, walking over and tucking Juno in.
"Daddy! Aren't you forgetting something?" Juno pouted.
"What?" Hyunjin asked tiredly.
"We didn't talk about our day. And you said you were weally busy all weekend so I waited fo' today." Juno said sadly.
Hyunjin sighed again. "Juno it's too late right now. It's bedtime. I'm tired."
Juno looked at his hands as his lips started to tremble. He sniffled as he tried to hold his tears in.
"Okay. Don't cry." Hyunjin said, sitting on the edge of his bed. "Tell me about your day."
Juno started sobbing, thinking his dad didn't really care.
