***Same warnings as last time apply, sorry***

The next day Yeosang had work. This time, it is not at the café. Meaning he wold have to leave his brother at home. However, Yeosang was in a full state of anxiety due to what happened on Friday.

"Hyung, come on wake up buddy. Sangie has to go to work" Yeosang gently shook the sleeping boy. It was 7 in the morning and he was already up and ready. Work at the convenience store starts at 8.

The small boy groaned, but continued to sleep, snuggling further down into his warm but dirty covers. "Hyung. Come on now. Sangie has to go to work" Yeosang pleaded. After another failed attempt, he simply grabbed under Hongjoongs armpits and lifted the boy onto his hip, carrying him downstairs. He didn't mind that his hyung seemed to be a little damp due to a small accident. After work, he will make sure to grab some diapers for the boy, as well as more pull-ups if this was going to continue.

"Dadda?" The smaller questioned as he was carried down the stairs. He brought his hands up to his eyes and began to rub them with clenched fists. "No baby" Yeosang whispered, eyebrows scrunched together as he thought of their father.

"Sangie" The next name came out more like a statement rather than a question. "Belly, belly, belly" the older complained. His stomach was churning with morning hunger. He was more awake now, still on his brothers hip as he turned to look around the kitchen. It wasn't every day that he got to see the world from this high up.

"Ah, careful hyung. I'll find you something to eat, yeah?" Yeosang said, putting on the façade that he usually did when he spoke to anyone. The boy wasn't happy with his life. But his hyung was his rock, his reason for living still.

He quickly settled the other on a chair and raked around the empty cupboards looking for something for the older to eat. Hongjoong sat on his chair still half asleep and began babbling on different words that he knew. "Apple, Sangie, bowl, feets, pur...purble"

"It's 'purple' baby" Yeosang muttered, still looking.

"Purple, pinger!!!" The small boy screeched looking at his fingers.

Yeosang chuckled as he stood up, bones cracking in protest. "Okay hyung, what is this?" He pointed to his head, laughing when the older male did the same.

"Head" Yeosang reminded. "Next is this, do you know this?" He pointed to his shoulders. Moments like these, Yeosang cherished. Being with his brother and just watching he way he acts, interacting with him without having to worry about anything or anyone.

"Shold"

"You're so close hyungie! Nearly there!" He encouraged, mouthing the word for his hyung to catch. It really was like having a child. But one that is just slightly taller.

"Shoulder, shoulder, shoulder!" He clapped his hands once he got what his brother was trying to say. His stomach cut him off from what he was about to say. Looking down at his hungry belly before pointing and glancing up at Yeosang. "Rawr"

Yeosang cooed, handing him over the out of date crackers. It was all they had, he would have to pick something up for them later. Before he passed them over, he made sure to open them as his hyungs motor skills were still a little rusty.

"Thank" Hongjoong said as he quickly began nibbling. Yeosang reached over, ruffling the boys hair. "It's okay Joongie-hyung" Hongjoong loved being called 'Joongie' It made him beam up at his taller brother with a blinding smile.

"Okay hyung, can you listen very closely okay?" Yeosang said slowly to make sure the other was fully engaged and listening. When he received a nod, he continued. "I have to go to work today, okay? I won't be back until beddie-byes. So, Sangie needs Joongie to be a big boy and stay here. Yeah? You can play with your stuffies or play dress up! Whatever you want okay buddy. But Sangie will lock the door, so don't let anyone in okay?" He explained, equally as slowly as the first sentence he said.
