Ateez Brothers

Not safe

Hongjoong looked out the window of his home studio, which aimed right out onto the driveway and front yard. With a frown, he got up and walked out to the living room, opening the front door and stepping out.

"Kim Wooyoung! I told you twice already, keep your helmet on when you're biking!" Hongjoong scolded. Wooyoung put a foot down to stop his bike.

"But-" Wooyoung pouted. Hongjoong raised a brow.

"But what? Keep the helmet on or you can come inside and take a nap like Jongho is doing" Hongjoong warned. Wooyoung looked like he was going to argue but thought better of it and grabbed his helmet, shoving it on his head. Satisfied, Hongjoong went back to work. He was confident that everything would be fine. Seongwha was out there with the boys and he was able to keep the peace. Hongjoong trusted him. At first, he hadn't but Seongwha had made great improvement in the past few months and Hongjoong could see that his oldest dongsaeng was really trying to be responsible, especially when it came to the younger boys. 

"Hyungie, no!" Wooyoung wailed, struggling against Seongwha as the older boy dragged him inside to Hongjoong, who heard the commotion and came to investigate. 

"What happened?" Hongjoong picked up Wooyoung.

"He tried to go around the corner of the neighborhood even though I told him not to because you don't let them go that far! And he had his helmet off again" Seongwha reported, crossing his arms. Hongjoong turned to Wooyoung, staring at him. Wooyoung played with his fingers, keeping his eyes down guiltily. 

"Right. I think someone needs a nap" Hongjoong turned to go inside. "Thanks for catching him, Seongwha" He threw over his shoulder before the door closed and he carried Wooyoung upstairs.

"NO! I don't want to go to bed!" Wooyoung pounded his fists against his hyung's back, kicking as much as he could but Hongjoong did not release his hold on the squirming six-year-old. It wasn't until they were in Wooyoung and Jongho's room that Hongjoong finally set Wooyoung down on his bed and woke up Jongho, who had been asleep for about an hour already and Hongjoong didn't want him sleeping too much that he wouldn't get any sleep at night. 

"Well you should have thought of that before disobeying me even after I told you not to ride your bike without a helmet" Hongjoong scolded. 

"And you know better than to go around the neighborhood corner where Seongwha or I can't see you. You deserve this, young man, so no more complaints" And with that, Hongjoong closed the door to the two youngest boys' room and went downstairs, hoping not to have any more trouble from the boys for the rest of the day. Of course, that was wishful thinking because he was raising seven boys on his own so there was always something that went wrong. What he had wanted to avoid with Jongho ended up happening with Wooyoung after Hongjoong forgot to wake the second youngest up after an hour and Wooyoung, along with San and Mingi, who somehow got a hold of candy, proceeded to spend three hours past their bedtime jumping around and giving Hongjoong a headache.
