Hongjoong presses the door bell to the unfamiliar house then releases a nervous sigh. He looks down at himself and straightens out his striped black and white jumpet .

No sounds or sign of anyone even living there for a few seconds then he hears loud footsteps thud closer and closer towards the door. "Chohee can you get down from there! Go eat" He could hear the familiar voice through the door.

Suddenly he was face to face with Seonghwa again. The taller male smiles with relief. "Ah thank god, you made it" He steps aside for Hongjoong to come in. The red haired male returns the smile with his own tight lipped one then while gently running his hand through his hair.

"Nice place" He awkwardly comments, his body stiff. He stood at the door as if waiting for permission to venture further into the house.

Seonghwa chuckles at him. "Thanks? Come in, she's in the kitchen.. eating her lunch I hope!" He says the last part a little louder, most likely directed towards her.

Hongjoong shyly follows along while silently taking in his environment. A nice suburban home, fairly wealthy from what he could tell. Family of 5. He took note of the older looking female in a family photo hung up on the wall in the hallway. His older sister maybe? Then his younger sister whom he now knows is Chohee and finally his parents.

"How was the drive?" Seonghwa turns to him, a kind smile on his lips. "Wasn't too hard to find the house was it?"

Hongjoong looks at him with slightly widened eyes then shakes his head. "N-no it was fine" He says with a small wave of dismissal. Seonghwa nods in understanding.

They get to the kitchen and Hongjoong immediately puts on his 'im so excited to babysit you' face. He'd been practicing all night last night. Chohee looks up at him from her little pink plastic table set. Her chubby cheeks full with food and lips messily covered with the porridge she was eating.

"Chohee this is Hongjoong, he'll be watching you till mom gets back" Seonghwa says.

Chohee doesn't say anything. She looks Hongjoong up and down for a few very long seconds. Hongjoong wanted to leave. According to the text Seonghwa sent he knew he'd be there for at least 4 hours.

Seonghwa pats his shoulder. "If you have any questions just call ok?"

Hongjoong gulps then nods, a small smile on his lips. Seonghwa flashes his signature charming smirk before turning to leave. "I'm already late so I gotta go. See you later Cho!" He calls to his sister as he grabs his phone off the coffee table in the living room then goes to slip on his shoes at the door.

The door shuts and the house was engulfed with silence. Hongjoong looks back at the toddler. "H-hey-" He starts.

"I not hungry anymore" She babbles immediately after Seonghwa left, cutting off the male. "I want cake" She points to the fridge, her chubby fingers clenches a little.
