The one where he has to watch the kids by himself (KNJ)

  "Harder." Alex ordered.

  "But-" Namjoon started, only for his wife to narrow her eyes at him, looking serious.

  "You're gonna have to do it harder than that, Joonie." She insisted.

  "But I don't wanna hurt her," He pouted at his wife, readjusting their younger daughter on his shoulder. Hyunjae grips the towel on his shoulder, pulling it to her mouth and gumming on it. Alex shakes her head at her tall and dumbfounded husband.

  "You won't hurt her, Joonie. But she's not gonna burp unless you tap her back a little harder." She reminded him, Namjoon sighs. He was already heavy-handed, he figured that would be enough. It was for their older twin, after all. Though he supposed that Hyunjae's tummy was more stubborn than her sister's.

  Alex, who was gently bouncing and burping the older twin on her shoulder, coos at Minjee. She was tapping her back quite firmly, and Namjoon worried it was giving Minjee lots of discomfort. He heard her whine and start fussing into Alex's shoulder.

  He wasn't sure how he was going to handle this by himself tomorrow. For the first time since the twins have been born, he was watching them completely on his own. Usually Alex was always home to watch and take care of them, she having been working from home (the woman scoffed when he asked her to consider taking a maternity leave). Tomorrow, however, she had to go in to work and that meant leaving the twins alone with him.

  Hyunjae whines into her father's shoulder, snuffling her cute little face into it. "I'm sorry, honey. I'll get that burp out of you." He assured, finally listening to his wife's advice and laying down a firmer hand. He tried not to cringe too much at the loud tapping against her back, and was a little startled by her soft belch. Of course, it was cute until a river of spit up spilled from her lips.

  "See, I told you it was too hard!" He insisted  in a whisper, thinking he'd done something wrong. Alex kisses her teeth as she lays Minjee on her back in her crib. "Joonie, spit up isn't a bad thing. Not always."

  He sighed, of course he knew that. Both his daughters have spat up on him so much he may as well have been the rag itself. He was just super paranoid and nervous about tomorrow. He didn't want to mess anything up, even though he knew what he was doing. He was just clumsy and forgetful sometimes.

  Alex lifts Hyunjae from his shoulder, wiping her mouth with the towel. The baby seemed unfazed by the milky substance leaking from her lips, just as Alex suggested. Namjoon sighs, following his wife to Jae's crib and watching her put her down on her back to sleep. He looks down at both his precious girls with a sigh, feeling his wife wrap her chocolate arms around him from behind. She rests her chin on his shoulder, "You'll do fine. Relax." She assured him, smoothing the tension between his shoulder blades.

  "I just don't wanna mess anything up." He admits aloud as he looks at their cute little pudgy faces, slipping into a state of peace.

  "Joonie, do you know how many mistakes I've made when I was left with them alone for the first time? It's bound to happen, don't panic, stay on our schedule, and you'll be fine. I'm confident you'll do just fine, okay? You should be too."

  "Right," he sighed. "You're right."

  Alex pulls away, cooing fondly at their girls before pulling Namjoon out of their room. "You're a good Daddy, Joonie. Don't forget it." She assured as she patted his chest, pressing a loving smooch to his cheek.

  Namjoon woke up the next morning with the bed empty, Alex having left early that morning before the sun was even peeking over the horizon. He leans up and grabs his glasses, squinting momentarily at their video baby monitor, staring at both cameras over each girl's crib. Minjee had managed to roll onto her stomach and Hyunjae was sucking on her hand. They looked peaceful still.
