hyunjin is lactose intolerant esketit

~*~

Hyunjin was vibrating with excitement. Seungmin had been working on getting him to voice to the caregiver when he felt little, and he did that for the first time, meaning he could get a reward when they finished practice.

The smile on Seungmin's face when Hyunjin told him he was feeling slightly little was something Hyunjin would cherish forever. Seungmin looked so proud of him, and Hyunjin couldn't wait for the cuddles he was going to get after practice.

Once everything was over, Hyunjin made no hesitation in running over to Seungmin, who was laying on the floor trying to regain his breath. Cocking his head to the side in confusion, Hyunjin knelt down next to his caregiver, poking his cheek.

Seungmin opened one eye and looked over to his right, smiling when he saw Hyunjim.

"Hi, baby," he said softly, and Hyunjin giggled.

"Hi, Daddy," the little replied, watching as Seungmin sat up with a groan.

"What do I owe the pleasure of seeing my beautiful baby today, hm?" The younger asked, causing Hyunjin to giggle even more.

"Daddy pwomised baby wewards if he told Daddy he was wittle!" Hyunjin exclaimed, hearing Chan chuckle from where he was packing away his things behind them.

"Daddy did, didn't he?" Seungmin asked rhetorically, and Hyunjin nodded happily. "Come on then, princess. Let's go back to the dorm so Daddy can spoil his baby."

Hyunjin clapped as Seungmin stood up from the floor, following suit as Seungmin held his hand out for Hyunjin to hold. The latter did so with no questions, holding his caregiver's hand tightly as the two of them walked back to the dorm.

Once they returned back to the dorm, Seungmin wasn't surprised to hear the shower running already. He knew he'd probably lost out on the right to call dibs on his place in the shower queue, so he decided to just wait until everyone was finished. After all, it gave him more time to spoil Hyunjin.

"What does the precious boy want for his reward, hm?" Seungmin asked as he closed the front door behind him.

Hyunjin put on his best 'thinking' face despite already knowing what he wanted. He had been thinking about his reward for a while, after all.

"Can Jinnie have ice-cweam pwease, Daddy?" He asked, giving Seungmin his best and most convincing puppy-dog eyes, and Seungmin had to think about it for a second.

Something inside of him - something in the very back of his mind - was telling him that letting Hyunjin have ice-cream wasn't really a good idea. They were all on diets after all. But as Seungmin pondered over it some more, he decided that there was no real harm in letting Hyunjin have a bit of ice-cream. He had promised Hyunjin a reward, after all.

"Of course, baby, but only a bit, ok?" He replied, walking over to the freezer and opening the door as he watched Hyunjin nod happily. "What flavour, angel?"

"Stwawbewwy, pwease!" Hyunjin answered and Seungmin chuckled at his baby's enthusiasm, pulling a tub of strawberry ice-cream out of the freezer followed by a bowl and a spoon from the cupboard and drawer respectively.

Scooping out some ice-cream with the spoon, Seungmin set the bowl aside while he put the tub back in the freezer. By the time he had turned back to face Hyunjin, the older male was practically jumping in his seat, obviously excited to eat his ice-cream.

"Here you go, baby boy," Seungmin said as he set the bowl down in front of Hyunjin. "Eat slowly, Jinnie. Daddy's not able to give you anymore otherwise he'll get into trouble."

Hyunjin nodded happily, thanking his caregiver before digging into the delicious frozen treat in front of him, all the while a strange feeling niggled away at the back of Seungmin's brain.

A few hours later, and Seungmin was reading in the room he shared with Chan, Hyunjin and Minho. He had no idea where the other three were, but he did have to admit that he was glad for the peace and quiet.

He sat there for a few more minutes, enjoying his book, when Hyunjin walked in looking awfully pale.

"You ok, Jinnie?" He asked, eyebrows creasing in worry as Hyunjin climbed into his lap.

Hyunjin shook his head and Seungmin brought the back of his hand up to his baby's forehead, checking his temperature. Alarmingly, Seungmin could tell Hyunjin was seriously ill, and that was when the same strange inkling from earlier came rushing back.

The ice-cream...

Seungmin gulped as Hyunjin suddenly scrambled off of his lap, running as fast as he could to the bathroom down the hall and throwing up into the bowl.

The younger male cursed under his breath as he hurried after Hyunjin, kneeling down next to his baby and rubbing his back in circles.

"Baby, how could you forget that you're lactose intolerant?" He asked softly, continuing to rub Hyunjin's back.

"I just wanted da ice-cweam, Daddy," Hyunjin sobbed with a hiccup. "Everyone always says no, Daddy."

"Darling, everyone always says no because it makes you poorly," Seungmin replied. "We don't want you to get sick, angel."

"'M sowwy, Daddy," Hyunjin sniffled, and Seungmin leaned down to kiss his temple.

"It's ok, baby," the younger smiled. "Daddy's sorry for forgetting."
