Minho put Minam's phone down on his nightstand. He then picked up his own phone.
"Oppa, are you getting into bed?" Mirae whined.
"Yes, yes." Minho nodded, lifting up the covers and sitting down beside her.
She quickly wrapped herself around him.
He put one arm around her, but he was definitely distracted. He opened his messages and saw that there was a string of messages in his own group chat with his brothers. He scrolled up to the top and saw that Jeongin had sent a message at about 11 pm.
"Aigoooo." He sighed.
"Wae?!" Mirae asked, looking at his phone. She sat up, taking the phone from his hand. "What is this?" She asked, scrolling through the messages.
"Well, I haven't read them all yet." Minho said.

@Chandad @LeeMinho @Jinnie @Peterrrr @the_sky_is_blue I need some.... Parenting advice.
🐺Chandad
What did you do?
🐶the_sky_is_blue
Or what did he do?
🦊__Jeongin__
Well, he didn't really do anything. He's... Really excited to go to Canada. And he's hoping to be at his mom's house more than I think he should. But he won't listen to me. And honestly, I don't know what to do, because he seems so... idk... so grown up now? And so tough.

Minho took the phone from Mirae and started typing a message.

Are you sure that's it? There wasn't any more that happened? 🤨
🦊__Jeongin__
Well, okay. I basically told him that he could only go to her house for certain amounts of time, and he took it the wrong way. He's acting like I don't want him to help her. But I just don't want him to get disappointed. And then it turned into all these accusations about how I should've been a better person and taken care of his mom, and I'm selfish and all that.
🐰LeeMinho
Keep going.
🦊__Jeongin__
And then I told him if he kept talking about it, he'd get a licking.
🐰LeeMinho
Okay, I know you brats think I'm the mean one here, but... I don't think that punishment fits the crime.
🐺Chandad
The belt? For asking about his mom? Are you actually serious right now? I don't know where you learned that that would be okay because I certainly don't think it was from me.
🦊__Jeongin__
Dad, I'm asking for advice, not a lecture.
🦙Jinnie
Okay, so I'm just going to take my lunch break early and write this paragraph here... I have to be honest, Teddie was telling me about what happened because he was getting some messages from Wolf last night, and I was going to message you privately, but since you're asking for advice, I thiiiink (based on what you said and what Wolf said to Teddie) that you probably need to have a more intimate conversation with him about everything that happened. It seems like he feels like you have some unsaid feelings about his mom, and he can sense them. I think he ultimately wants you to more fully support him getting to know his mom so that if it doesn't go well, you won't say "I told you so" or something like that.
🐰LeeMinho
Probably. But also, I think he's just mad at you. Minam said he was punching his bed or pillows or something, and he seemed really angry, so that's like a ticking time bomb.
