Summary: Taeoh finally had the chance to play with his teacher Baek and Yeollie hyung and someone got jealous.
Knock knock.
“I’ll get it!” Jongin yelled from the living room, excited over the fact that they have a visitor. Who could it be?
As he opened the door, he was met by two boys who looks just slightly older than him.
“Hello sir! Are you perhaps Taeoh’s daddy?” one of the boys asked.
“Uh… who are you?” Jongin asked, confused. He’s never seen these two before, and he’s not liking the atmosphere they give.
But before one of the two boys had the chance to answer, a shout of “Jongin-ah, breakfast’s rea- oh!!” was heard coming from the kitchen. But it stopped when he noticed the three awkward boys standing near the door. Just then, a high-pitched squeal was heard as little Taeoh wiggled from his appa’s hold and ran towards the two boys excitedly, “Teacher Baek!!! Yeollie hyung!!!”.
Finding out that their visitors are actually the two people he hates at the moment (“they steal my baby’s attention from me!!” cue the pout), Jongin’s mood went down from excited to mad and confused. He then looked at Kyungsoo to ask what the heck is happening why am I not informed about this but much to his dismay, his husband’s looking just as excited as Taeoh.
“Hey! You both came just in time! Come on in!” Kyungsoo gladly welcomed the two boys - Baekhyun and Chanyeol - to their home and led them straight to the kitchen, where the breakfast is already served.
Due to everyone’s excitement, they actually forgot Jongin’s existence. It is only when they’re almost done eating and Taeoh asked Appa, where’s daddy? that they realized that Jongin’s missing in action.
Standing up, Kyungsoo asked, “Taeoh, do you wanna watch that latest episode of Pororo with teacher Baek and Yeollie hyung?”
Ofcourse, he was answered by an excited “Yes yes! D’you wanna watch it with me hyungs? Taeoh will be very happy!”
Smiling, Kyungsoo led the three in Taeoh’s room and left after asking Taeoh to behave and telling the two men that he’ll be back after he talks to Jongin.
----
Opening the door to their room, Kyungsoo found Jongin lying on his side with his back facing the door. He silently approached his husband just incase he was sleeping. It is only when he laid down in bed facing Jongin that he heard the hushed sniffles from his husband. When Kyungsoo scooted closer and spooned Jongin from behind, he felt the younger stiffen. Cautiously, he asked,
“Hey, do you wanna talk about it?”
Still not facing Kyungsoo, Jongin replied, “H-hyung, d-do you… do you like them more than me now too?”
Kyungsoo was dumbfounded when he heard Jongin’s questionIs that why he suddenly went missing, is he perhaps jealous?
“Aww Jonginnie, is my baby jealous?” he teasingly asked.
“N-no! It’s just that you were so excited when you saw them, and Taeoh is too, and as soon as they got inside you all went straight to the kitchen, and Taeoh was clinging to that giant creep’s leg like how he does with me-“
“Jongin-”
“-you also didn’t tell me they were coming, and you didn’t even bother introducing me to them, hyung! So I didn’t go eat breakfast with you all because I thought maybe I was unwanted there afterall!”
“Jongin…”
Kyungsoo was replied by more sobs coming from his husband. His heart clenched hearing his husband cry. Dammit Kyungsoo did you really have to forget about your own husband over the excitement of talking to new friends. He then realized how stupid he is and how Jongin loves him and Taeoh so much, he’s afraid of losing us over the two guys he thought. Jongin’s acting immature again but he can’t bear to get mad this time, because no matter how petty Jongin’s reason is, he knows that it’s just because he’s scared, and Kyungsoo understands.
Sighing, Kyungsoo moved so he can turn Jongin and face him. His heart clenched even more when he saw how red and puffy Jongin’s eyes are, but he also can’t help but coo at how his husband’s nose scrunches up cutely when he sniffs.
After a few minutes of staring at his husband’s perfect face, he finally spoke.
“I’m sorry…”
Silence.
“Baby, look at me..”
But since Jongin’s a very stubborn person, he refused to look at Kyungsoo in the eyes. So Kyungsoo had no choice but to get his attention through other ways he’s sure will work: he kissed Jongin straight on the lips. And surely, he got his husband’s attention because when he pulled away, Jongin was looking at him with his dazed eyes.
Giggling, he continued, “I’m really sorry Jonginnie.. I’m an idiot. Please don’t think that I like them more than you now okay? Same goes for our son. Taeoh will always love you more, you’re his dad for fuck’s sake. He’s just excited over the fact that he’ll have more playmates, and I… well I guess I’m just excited of chatting with new friends. But you will always be our number 1 alright? So stop being jealous, you precious baby!”
Jongin understood. And they kissed again until the innocent kisses later turned out into a heated make out session.
----
After their make up and make out session, the two went out of their room so Jongin can eat, then they watched a movie while cuddling in their living room. Just as the movie credits rolled, they heard their son’s giggles followed by footsteps which got louder and louder as it got closer to their location.
When Taeoh saw his appa and daddy, he immediately ran towards them and asked Jongin to pick him up.
“We really had a lot of fun playing with Taeoh! You both are very lucky to have a very polite and behave child who knows how to play well with others.” Baekhyun said as they all stood in the living room.
“And his collection of Pororo stuffs is amazing! I love watching Pororo with my baby brother too, maybe I can bring him to play with Taeoh sometime!” the creepy giant (which Jongin now recognizes as Chanyeol) added.
“That’s great! Jongin here loves watching Pororo with Taeoh too. Isn’t that right, Jonginnie?” Kyungsoo responded, nudging Jongin who’s face got red with embarrassment.
“U-uh yeah… by the way, thank you for giving some of your time to play with our Taeoh, and uhm, I’m sorry for n-not showing up during breakfast awhile ago, I’m Jongin, Taeoh’s daddy by the way..” Jongin shyly said, offering to shake hands with the two.
“That’s okay Mr. Kim! We’re very glad to meet you!” the two boys replied, shaking Jongin’s hand one after the other.
“It’s getting late, I think you two should head home now before it gets dark outside.” Kyungsoo said.
“Oh yes! Yes, we really need to head home by now, thank you for inviting us here!” Baekhyun replied.
“You’re now welcome to go here anytime, and bring your baby brother too, Chanyeol, the more the merrier.”
“Bye, teacher baek and yeollie hyung! Comeback ‘gain to play with Taeoh okay!!” Taeoh cutely said, making everyone in the room smile.
----
When the two visitors left, the family went back to the living room to watch. But before they even get to turn on the tv, Taeoh asked,
“Daddy, did y’cry?”
Both Jongin and Kyungsoo gaped at how their son noticed such a thing.
“What made you say that baby?”
“Daddy’s eyes are p’ffy like the pandas Yeollie hyung showed me ‘while ago! Why did y’cry, daddy? Did daddy fell and got booboos like Taeoh too?”
The parents resisted the urge to pinch their son’s cheeks because too cute.
“Aww, yes baby, Daddy got some booboos awhile ago..”
“Where’s the booboos daddy? Taeoh’ll kiss them away so they’re gone!”
“Here, I got some booboos here..” Jongin pointed on his right cheek.
Taeoh then planted kisses on Jongin’s right cheek. “Booboos go’way!”
After a few more kisses, Taeoh finally got tired and just settled to hugging his daddy’s torso, while Kyungsoo’s head is resting on Jongin’s shoulder. The three were all basking in the sweet silence, the parents thinking that their son’s already asleep until,
“Daddy, appa, Taeoh loves you..”
And then Jongin felt like crying again.
