Seonghwa pov:

My eyes start to open as I feel the sunlight coming into my room. I begin to stretch and look around, wondering where my company from last night has gone. I reach to my phone, "8am... Joong must have gone to the studio already." I slide out of bed to make some food for everyone before we have to get ready for our schedule today. 

After freshening up , I make my way to the kitchen. As I pass the living room, I can see Jongho, Woo, San, Yeo and Yunho all asleep on the sofas and floor, with the TV in power saving mode. I chuckle to myself as I carry on but in the distance I can hear someone in the kitchen. I slowly walk in to see our small captain pottering about making breakfast. I smile, soaking in the moment. Hongjoong turns to see me staring, "What you staring at Hwa?" he says. "Just you, you haven't cooked for us in ages, its nice to see," I reply with the widest smile. I see him blush slightly, "shush" he says chuckling and going back to what he was doing. 

 I leave him to finish breakfast and go and wake my sleeping members so we can set the table ready. When I walk in one is already wake now, "Hey jong.." I say softly smiling at the still sleepy boy looking at his phone. He looks up yawing, "Hey Hwa hyung..." I laugh at him a little and he hides. "Come on Jong, we need to wake the others and set the table for breakfast. Hongjoong has made it for us." I say happily. "Oh really?" he says shocked. "Yes, now come on help me wake these sleepy boys" I walk over to yeo first as he'll be the easiest to wake. "Actually Hwa can we just set the table together and wake thes up after? I want to talk to you about something." Jongho says before I touch Yeo. "Um, yeah of course.." I say sightly confused but walk to the dining room to grab the dining mats. 

Jongho follows me in, grabs the cutlery and starts to lay it down. "So, Hwa... Um I wanted to just talk to you about you being little because I want to be the best caregiver I can for you and make you feel as comfortable as possible..." Jongho's starts. I look at him curiously as to were this is going to lead. "I of course what to be you caregiver and get you things and look after you, I just wanted to say about the nicknames and stuff. I learnt a lot from Woo and San last night about littles and they said its best to ask you what your comfortable with, even if it can be awkward." He explains. I scrunch my face slightly confused as i just call him Jongie, but then I realise I called him something last night that I had forgot about. I feel myself turn tomato red out of embarrassment and just stare at him. I really hope I didn't weird him out... 

Jongho pov:

I finish asking Hwa about what I wanted, as I want to make sure I am a good caregiver for him. I look up an see he is red in the face and staring at me with a panicked expression. I panic suddenly thinking I've triggered him so I go over to comfort him straight away. "Hwa, please don't be embarrassed, I'm okay with whatever you call me, I just wanted to make sure you were comfortable, aware and if there was anything you wanted to call me or me call you or any thing that make you feel safe." I softly explain patting his head. He looks up, his facial expression now calmer than before. "So... your not weirded out or mad?" he whispers. "No No, of course not, never think that." I give him a hug and sit next to him. "Okay," He smiles, "Um.. I do want to call you.. um.. dada when I'm little, if that's okay? I feel the most comfortable around you when I'm little... And I'm happy with any cute nicknames, like Hwa, honey, bunny." He smiles at me with a little sparkle in his eye. "Okie, that's good because I like calling you bunny," I chuckle, smiling back at him, "also dada is all good with me. I'm just glad you feel safe with me Hwa" We hug for a little longer and separate when four sleepy boys walk in. 

"And they are awake! Come and sit, joong made us all breakfast." Hwa says, waving them over to sit. "Huh, what do you mean" Woo groggily says, rubbing his eyes while sitting down. Hongjoong enters at that moment, "Hwa means what he just said, I made breakfast for you all!" Joong chirps placing plates of food in front of me and Hwa then leaving to grab more. "Since when does he cook?" Woo says confused still. Joong enters yet again, "Since always Wooyoung, I just haven't in a long time. Now sit or you don't get food." Joong sassily replies. Everyone laughs as Woo sits just staring at the food Hongjoong has just put in front of him. Just as out captain goes and gets the last plates, Mingi appears. "Morning guys," he says yawning and taking a seat. "Morning min, good sleep?" Yunho says. "Yeah actually, it was so nice to be little like that yesterday, I think it destressed me," he says chuckling and smiling at Yunho, who gives a big smile back.

Hongjoong pov:

I finally stroll in with the last plates and put one in front of mingi who has now joined and then one in my place. "What's this? Since when do you cook now Joong?" Mingi now also asks confused. "Ya, why does everyone find it odd I've cooked?" I exclaim, pouting a little. "Well to be honest you haven't in a while, and I don't think you ever have for these lot" Hwa chimes in. "I suppose you're right.. well I guess I just wanted to do this for you all as I haven't been the best leader lately, especially with Hwa. I've realized I need to be around you all as well as produce our music to be a good leader, so I promise I will be around more often, for Hwa and all of you. So please just enjoy guys" I explain and then sit down to start eating. "Joong... Thank you for the food, and you are a great leader so don't beat yourself up for not being around. We know you want what is best for the the band. Be it is going to be so nice having you around more" Hwa says, chuckling and smiling at me. I return the smile and give him a nod.

We all tuck in to the food and chat, enjoying the first calm morning we've had in a while, before our schedule starts. "This is a really good Cap, you need to cook with me and Hwa hyung more" Woo says, I smile, " I definitely will." We all finish up and go get ready for the busy day ahead...
