"Ready to go, darling?" Changbin asked as he spotted Jeongin walking down the stairs, backpack in his hands.

Jeongin nodded stiffly, looking down at the bag in his arms and Changbin frowned. He knelt down in front of his baby and smiled reassuringly at Jeongin.

"What's wrong, baby?" He asked softly, encouraging Jeongin to look at him by cupping the side of his face gently.

"Don't wanna go to Minho-hyung's, Daddy," the little whined. "Wanna stay with Daddy."

"Oh, doll..." Changbin cooed, standing up straight so he could hug Jeongin. "You know if Daddy could take you with him he would, but the studio are very strict on guests. Minho-hyung will take great care of you, though, baby, and Daddy will be back in no time."

Jeongin sniffled and Changbin kissed his forehead.

"I know you can do it, baby boy, because you're my good boy, aren't you?" Changbin asked, and Jeongin nodded. "Good boy!"

Changbin managed to get Jeongin out of the house and into the car easily, mainly because Jeongin hated causing a scene and getting into trouble. The little knew deep down that Changbin wasn't leaving to be mean and that he really did have to go to work, being the only one of the two who could actually work.

And Jeongin also knew Changbin would be back soon, and that Minho was a really good caregiver, if Felix's praises of him were anything to go off of (which Jeongin knew they were).

But that didn't mean Jeongin wanted to go any less than he already did. He would've much preferred staying with Changbin, but since he knew he couldn't, he didn't complain when Changbin knocked on Minho's front door.

"Jeongin! Hi, sweetie!" The brunette greeted happily, ruffling Jeongin's hair gently.

"Ah, yes, hello to you too, hyung," Changbin rolled his eyes playfully.

"I was getting to you, my favourite midget!" Minho teased, and Changbin raised a fist - again playfully.

"Do you wanna die, punk?" He joked, and the two broke into fits of laughter, causing Jeongin to flinch at the loud noises. "Sorry, baby."

"Is he ok?" Minho pouted, bending over with his hands on his knees to steady himself as he inspected Jeongin's face.

"He's just feeling a little under the weather today," Changbin answered, holding Jeongin close to his chest.

"Aww, poor baby," Minho cooed. "Lixie has something really cool for you, though, Innie. He's been waiting to give it to you for such a long time!"

Changbin gasped. "Doesn't that sound cool, baby?"

Jeongin nodded and let Changbin let go of him, stepping into Minho's house hesitantly.

"Daddy will be back around 4, ok, doll?" He clarified, and Jeongin nodded. "Good boy. Give Daddy a kissy before he goes."

Jeongin gave Changbin a small peck on the lips and Changbin smiled, moving up to kiss Jeongin's forehead before leaving. Jeongin whined when he saw Changbin get into his car, and Minho hugged him from behind.

"Come on, Innie," he said. "You know hyung will take care of you! And Felix has lots of new toys for you two to play with!"

Jeongin nodded and let Minho lead him upstairs to Felix's playroom, where the Australian couldn't be more happy to see his friend.

"Innie!" He squealed, jumping up to hug Jeongin. "Let's pway! What does Innie wanna pway?"

Minho chuckled to himself and left the two littles to their own devices, deciding to get started on lunch.

After an hour of playing dolls with Felix, Jeongin really started to miss Changbin.

Even though Felix was being so nice and patient, letting Jeongin choose which dolls he wanted to play with and what clothes he wanted them to wear, Jeongin couldn't help thinking about him and Changbin played dolls, and Felix looked up at him worriedly when he whined high in his throat.

"Innie? What's wrong?" He asked, eyebrows furrowing in worry as Jeongin suddenly started crying. "Innie, are you hurt?"

Jeongin shook his head and continued crying, and Felix helped him up off of the floor, leading him downstairs and to the kitchen where Minho was.

"Daddy, Innie's weally upset and I no know why," Felix pouted as Minho knelt down in front of Jeongin.

"Oh, sweetheart," Minho cooed sadly. "Thank you, Lixie."

Minho kissed Felix's chubby cheek before picking Jeongin up and leading him to the living room, sitting him down on the couch.

"Innie, Innie, shh~" He tried to relax Jeongin, but nothing was working. He tried kissing all over his face, but that only made Jeongin cry harder as he wanted Changbin to do that, not Minho. Minho tried everything, which led him to doing the last thing he could think of.

Ringing Changbin.

"Minho-hyung? Is everything ok?" Changbin asked as soon as he picked up.

"Jeongin is really crying. Like, really crying," Minho answered. "He really misses you."

"Poor baby," Changbin replied. "Will you put me on the phone with him, please?"

"Course," Minho said, turning to Jeongin. "Innie, Daddy's on the phone."

Jeongin immediately stopped crying when he heard that, only sniffling and whimpering. Minho switched his phone to loudspeaker and let Jeongin hold it.

"Hi, baby," Changbin said softly, and Jeongin whined again. "Shh, baby, I'm here. Daddy's here. Good boy."

Changbin continued talking to Jeongin for another ten minutes before Jeongin yawned and Changbin gasped.

"Someone's sleepy~" He teased harmlessly, and Jeongin giggled.

"Lixie, can you get Innie a blanket, please, baby?" Minho asked and Felix nodded happily, running off to his playroom.

When Felix returned, Minho thanked him with a kiss to his forehead and Felix giggled.

"Lie down, baby boy," Changbin instructed gently and Jeongin did as he was told as if Changbin were really there.

Minho covered Jeongin in the blanket and let Changbin continue to lull him to sleep until Jeongin almost dropped Minho's phone from how peacefully he was sleeping.

"Did it work?" Changbin asked, and Minho chuckled.

"Yeah, it worked. He's fast asleep."

Changbin sighed out in relief. "I really thought he would never stop crying."

"Well, you did it. Well done," Minho teased and Changbin laughed on the other end.

"I'll be there in about two hours. I really do have to go, though, because Chan-hyung is bitching about me to Jisung. I can tell."

"Ok, you have fun," Minho laughed before hanging up and turning to Felix. "Come here, you."

Felix giggled and hugged Minho, letting his caregiver smother his face in kisses. "My little star, you are."

"Is Innie ok, Daddy?" Felix asked, looking over at Jeongin who was fast asleep on their couch.

"He's alright, love. Just feeling a little clingy, is all."
