Aiden.

"YEON GRAB HIM!" Jeongguk snatched at the wriggling child's waist, gripping him tightly.

"AIDEN STOP IT YOU'RE GOING TO- JEONGGUK!" The tall man was now on the bathroom floor groaning.

The five year old baby boy giggled happily as he sat on the mat by the bathtub.

"I'm alright baby I'm fine. He just got my nose." Jeongguk winced as Miyeon touched it. "This little fucker." Miyeon mumbled quietly.

Jeongguk glared at her. "No swearing." He scolded. "You know that's impossible right?" She stared at him like he was stupid.

"I'm mentally preparing for being called in the future for something he says in school." Jeongguk groaned as he stood up and picked up Aiden and placed him in the bathtub where he began happily playing with bubbles and a rubber pikachu.

"You got wine?" She mumbled as they both sat on the floor, exhausted and tired from trying to take off their son's clothes.

"Two bottles stashed up here." He went for the cabinet underneath the sink hand pulled out a bottle.

"You're perfect." She smiled up at him. "I'm alright, I just know where we will have our next mental breakdown." He smiled as he opened the bottle and took a sip, passing it to her.

"I'm just glad the bath is tall." She mumbled. "So he doesn't see us drinking?" Jeongguk took it back after her sip.

"That and he won't climb out." She laughed.

"Come on little guy. It's your first day!" Jeongguk and Miyeon, along with Jimin, stood outside the kindergarten building. It was Aiden's first day and he was already throwing a fit.

"I wanna go with Uncle Chimmy!" He wailed. Jimin chuckled and knelt down. "Listen Aiden." He hugged the boy tightly. "I wish I went to school at your age you know?" Jeongguk smiled down at the scene, all adults clad in black whilst the boy had a bright sunflower patterned sweater and blue jeans with tiny converse.

Aiden loved owning bright clothes.

"Why?" The boy huffed. Miyeon chuckled and joined her brother. "Mummy and Uncle had to redo school all over again and it was tough. We want the best for you. You can also make friends! You know mummy's friend Namjoonie? You can meet someone like that." Aiden sniffled and let out a tiny smile.

"I can get hugs and movie night and go Namjooning?" All three of them laughed. "Of course! This is where you can start!" The boy giggled and hugged his mother.

Jeongguk genuinely couldn't believe his life at the moment as he watched his wife and brother in law hug his son. "Papa?" Jeongguk smiled at the boy. "Yes baby." The boy shuffled his feet.

"Can you come with me to class?" Jeongguk chuckled. "Of course." Jimin gripped his arm gently. "Your meeting?" He asked.

"My son comes first." Jeongguk walked inside the building with Aiden whilst Jimin took a photo of them before they vanished and headed to the car.

"DAD!" Jeongguk looked up from his laptop and stared at his now 17 year old son, clad in a crop top and sweatpants, his long hair dyed a sweet baby blue.

"What is it baby?" He asked tiredly. "Cedar is coming over. I hope that's okay." The boy asked. Jeongguk raised an eyebrow.

"What for?" Jeongguk asked. "Math project. He is my partner." Jeongguk thought for a moment, then nodded. "If he is okay with ordering pizza, there's some change in my coat over there." Aiden took the jacket and walked out.
