Little Things

The Least Expected

Jinyoung and Jaebum are typically the first ones home, Jaebum before Jinyoung. And Jinyoung noticed some out-of-place items around the house – pacifiers, sippy cups, and plushies. He would see them and then leave them where they were but when he'd go back ten minutes later, they'd disappear. He questioned Jaebum about it but the man just responded that the younger man had baby fever and was hallucinating. But Jinyoung knew better. He'd find out what the younger was hiding.

Jaebum really needed to get a handle on Bummie. It's either that or get his littleself to clean up at himself better. He can't keep having these close calls with his roommates, who are also his boyfriends. He doesn't want them to find out, at least not yet. It's something easy to keep under wraps because with Jaebum's false personality, it makes it easier for them not to consider a certain option.

But Jaebum has some rotten luck.

Jaebum came back first like usual, extremely tired. His night-shift left him drained once again but worse than usual. He doesn't have the strength not to slip, like he usually does, as soon as he enters his room and sees his Snorlax plushie sitting on his bed.

"Bummie become Snorrie." The little tiredly giggles, dragging his feet over to his closet. The little pulls out his Snorlax onesie and a new pair of undies before shuffling out into the hall to the bathroom.

Bummie's gonna act like a big boy and take a shower like Jaebum does. Except this time, he has to be more careful about the water temperature. Bummie once jumped into the shower too soon and scalded his back. It hurt so bad, he cried for an hour and hid himself away in his room to make sure no one saw him that day. But Bummie would not give up on taking a shower. He wants to be a big boy... just in case, the others found out. Bummie feared his hyungies wouldn't like him because he's a baby. So he'll learn to act like a big boy for his hyungies.

After his struggle with getting into his onesie, Bummie walks downstairs to the kitchen to get himself some juice. He has to be very careful not to spill any because Bummie doesn't like to clean messes, and neither does Jaebum. So the dark-haired little carefully pours apple juice into his favorite sippy cup before heading into the living room to watch cartoons.

Turning on the TV was easy, and finding something to watch was even easier since the TV was already on cartoons. SpongeBob is playing on screen so Bummie decides to just watch that for the time being. Bummie pulls the blanket he keeps hidden under the sofa out and wraps himself in it before allowing his eyes to focus on the television.

After three episodes, Bummie is out like a light. His sippy cup clutched in his right hand which is dangling off the couch. The thumb of his left hand is soaked in saliva from being sucked on, it rests against his chin. Soft little snores escape his open mouth and they're the first thing Jinyoung hears when he steps into the house.

Out of curiosity, Jinyoung walks into the living room to see what's up and is surprised by Jaebum. Not his situation but his appearance...

"I should've known." Jinyoung clicks his tongue in annoyance for being so slow. He had had the sneaking suspicion but he gave the older man the benefit of the doubt. Now he regrets doing so because he could've seen this adorableness a lot sooner if he hadn't. The black-haired man pulls out his phone and takes a picture before carrying Jaebum upstairs to his room with all of his stuff – sippy cup and blanket.

Jinyoung wants to be the only one that knows... at least for right now. The others can find out later on.
