It was a normal day in the life of Kim Seungmin. Well, almost normal if it wasn't for the five crying infants the redhead had to face when he entered his lab. They just sat on the cold tiled floor of the lab, crying their lungs out.
Seungmin didn't know whenever he should cheer loudly or panic because the five babies wouldn't stop crying. He settled for the latter and clumsily tried to fumble his phone out of his jean pocket in order to call his partner in crime Han Jisung.
He had no idea if his friend would pick up since it was just 7a.m and Jisung's day off but he needed to tell his lab partner that their little experiment worked! What they thought had failed yesterday was actually a success. Even though this success was screaming their lungs out right now.
"Come on pick up. Please pick up. I know it's your day off but please pick up", Seungmin prayed internally, almost not hearing his own thoughts because of the crying little children in the background.
Like the prayers of the young man with the red hair had been heard his friend picked up. "Seungmin? What do you need?", Jisung asked from the other end of the line with a groggy voice like he had just woken up.
"Yeah, good morning. Remember our experiment from yesterday, that we thought had failed? Turns out we didn't fail and now I have five crying babies in our lab and no clue what to do", the redhead got straight to the point, wondering a little that his partner couldn't hear the babies scream in the background.
There was a short silence on the other end. For a second Seungmin thought the connection had died but then Jisung just yelled into his ear, making the young redhead almost deaf.
"WHAT! Why didn't you call me earlier, you little punk", Jisung cursed and judging by the noises of someone bumping and stumbling into things the other just got out of bed. "I had no clue this would happen either. Besides I just got here", Seungmin argued and his gaze unconsciously fell onto one of the babies, whose big black eyes stared directly at him. The black orbs had a bit of a red tint in them, which was visible despite the glossy shimmer they had from the many tears the baby must have cried. One of the baby's tears just spilled out from their eyes, letting a stream trail down their cheeks, making Seungmin subconsciously notice the little mole under their left eye.
"Seungmin? Kim Seungmin! Focus, dude!", Jisung yells came from the other end of the line, ripping Seungmin out of his little trance. He blinked and looked away from the little baby with the black eyes and red hair.
"I'm still here. Are you on your way?", Seungmin quickly asked his friend. "Of course I am! I'm bringing Minho along. He knows about our little experiment and surprise. Told him yesterday since it brought my mood down because we thought it didn't work", the other explained. Seungmin just huffed. Jisung was so bad at keeping secrets from his husband it was a wonder he kept his mouth shut in the first place.
"When will you arrive?", Seungmin asked, looking over the five crying babies again. "Give me five minutes. Call the others in the meantime. Jeongin will probably arrive the minute you call him, so call Chan-hyung before him. He needs the head start", Jisung suggested. Seungmin smiled a little just imagining the others reaction to the little ones.
