Jongin has always been a constant presence in Kyungsoo's life.

They met in high school and since then they are inseperable. Jongin has been there when Kyungsoo lost his grandparents in a car crash, he was there when he dropped out of high school due to missing too many classes, and most importantly, he was there when he made a big mistake.

They went out to party on a casual Saturday night and Kyungsoo still isn't sure about how it happened and why – since he is mostly attracted to guys, though he's had a few girlfriends as well –, but he brought home a girl.

And they... fucked. Because saying that they made love wouldn't be true. They fucked – hard. With the alcohol still in their system, they went at it for hours and hours – only to realize in the morning that they haven't used any condoms and the girl wasn't taking pills either.

She got pregnant. She was twenty.

Kyungsoo was twenty-two at that time and he truly cursed himself for making a girl's life, and his own, fucked up. But Jongin was there, supporting him with words, because he needed it.

At the end, they made a deal with the girl – she was going to go through the pregnancy, but she didn't want to bring the child up – she wanted to live a little more. She didn't even want to have kids, not until thirty, she said.

So Kyungsoo went along with it, of course. It was the hardest time of his life yet, but it was all worth it. Because his daughter, Mirae, is a beautiful ray of sunshine, the most adorable little girl on the planet, the most beautiful too, in his eyes, and now Kyungsoo doesn't think of his life as 'fucked up'. He sees Mirae as a blessing, because she truly is. And Kyungsoo loves her more than anything in the world.

„Hey, get up. You're teaching her the wrong things."

„What wrong things?" Jongin asks, blinking and pausing the cartoon movie they were just watching on the laptop. Mirae lets out a disgruntled sound at that and stares at Jongin like he just comitted some serious crime. Jongin notices this and chuckles, then pulls her further up into his lap, tightening his arms around her tiny body. Her little ponytail at the middle of her head brushes against his clothed chest as she looks up curiously, a tiny finger now in her mouth.

„Laziness," Kyungsoo explains, leaning against the doorframe of his bedroom with a kitchen cloth in his hand. „You should take her outside at least, that'd be much better."

Jongin doesn't answer because he is too busy trying to pull Mirae's hand out of her mouth since she decided that chewing on her whole fist is better than only on one of her fingers. Jongin snorts and holds her hands down by circling his pointer and thumb around her tiny wrists and she whines, saliva trickling down her chin.

„Wipe her chin," Kyungsoo mutters, lips pressed in a tight line because he is moments away from taking her back into his own arms.

„Okay, okay, I was just about to do that," Jongin mumbles back. He pulls the sleeves of his pullover down to his knuckles and palm, and gently wipes around her mouth to get the saliva off. Kyungsoo frowns, about to scold Jongin because just how many bacteries are on his cloth, but then he sees Mirae giggling and his words get stuck on the tip of his tongue. „She's so cute..." Jongin coos with a smile.

Jongin has been there since the first moment of Mirae's arrival. Since then, he visits whenever he can, and that is mostly every second day. He helped Kyungsoo a lot – he cleaned up when Kyungsoo got too busy with his girl, or he bathed Mirae when Kyungsoo was too busy with making dinner; heck, he even slept over countless times and woke up instead of Kyungsoo when the baby was crying in the middle of the night.
