baby. ❜ ➵ soonhoon.

5 years and 7 months

"eomma!"

jihoon looked over to the small child who's running towards him with a girl with him, hands interlaced and showed jihoon a toothy smile with one tooth missing and wonwoo laughed beside him, a mug of coffee in hand as he sipped carefully.

jihoon leaned down from sitting on the couch and fixed the other's messy hair, smiling himself.

"what is it, honey?"

"i'm going to marry minji when we grow up!"

this sudden announcement had brought jihoon to gape and wonwoo to choke on his hot coffee, immediately placing the mug on the coffee table and rushing out towards the kitchen where soonyoung and mingyu were, preparing their lunch.

jihoon pursed his lips as minji, who was behind jiyoung, had blushed and hit the young boy on his shoulder repeatedly, but this did not affect jiyoung at all as he grinned wider, looking proud and not a single regret showed on his visage.

jihoon chuckled, ruffling jiyoung's hair.

"what made up your mind, darling?"

jiyoung puckered out his lips, turning to look at minji who was still blushing behind him, trying to cover her small face with her small hands and jiyoung grinned.

"because she's cute!"

"just cute?" jihoon asked, fixing his messy hair yet again and watched as jiyoung shook his head furiously, pulling minji into his side and wrapping his arms around her.

"because she's smart! she's also smaller than me and i love her!" jihoon chuckled at the statement and pressed a kiss on both children's foreheads, smiling lovingly to them.

"that's wonderful. can't wait for it to happen."

then, someone barged in into the room, erupting.

"who's marrying my daughter?!" mingyu had his hands on his hips and a huge frown decorated his face, looking down to the three occupants of the living room and jiyoung stepped out, grinning.

"i am!"

"you—" but soonyoung suddenly came in, laughing.

"that's my boy!"

"no!"

five years have passed after jiyoung had finally came into their world. suddenly, they have a new addition to the journey of their lives. seokmin and jisoo had come late into the hospital, stating that they were doing some business and minghao only raised an eyebrow to it, doubting.

junhui and chan had come late as well since they were not informed and chan was still back in the studio, teaching children while junhui was teaching elderlies.

when they arrived, jihoon was already awake and was drinking water by the bed to keep him hydrated, glaring at soonyoung for not coming sooner.

"there was traffic!"

"i don't care!"

it took them four to five days before they were discharged with the baby in jihoon's arms, looking at the small child in awe and wonder. jihoon had cried for once which was very rare to happen and had made soonyoung and junhui panic (junhui was there to fetch the couple and drive them home).

being a parent was hard, soonyoung had to admit. throughout the months, the two new parents were forced to wake up in the middle of the night to take care of the baby, taking turns to who was going to tend to the child.
