"daddy kissey hyuckie in front of everyone!" little donghyuck exclaimed as jaemin opened the door of his car for him and unbuckled his seatbelt.

"yes, hyuckie. now you and mark are a couple." jaemin nodded, taking donghyuck's hand so that he could go out of the car safely.

"daddy loves hyuckie?"

"yes. and hyuckie loves mark too." jisung confirmed, making the little giggle.

the three of them had gotten back to their shared house to prepare their stuff for a sleepover. chenle had invited all of them to celebrate their team's victory.

so, everyone had gotten back home to get ready before meeting again and spending an unforgettable night.

"when hyuckie see daddy again?" donghyuck questioned as soon as they had entered their house.

"in an hour. we need to get ready before." jaemin explained, making donghyuck pout.

"me wanna see daddy..." he whined.

"you will see him, don't worry." jisung assured. "but first, we need to prepare our stuff."

"why daddy isn't helping?" donghyuck continued whining. "me wanna be in daddy's arms..."

"hyuckie, come here." jaemin called him.

donghyuck groggily made his way towards the pink-haired boy, looking at him with sad eyes as soon as he was standing in front of him.

"don't you want to be a good boy for daddy?" he asked, tilting his head to the side.

"yes! yes!" donghyuck's face lightened immediately.

"great. then, sit on the sofa for a while while jisung and i prepare everything you will need, okay?"jaemin added, placing donghyuck's pacifier in his mouth.

"mkay." donghyuck nodded before running to the couch and sitting crossed-legs on it as jisung switched the tv on and selected the cartoon channel.

jaemin and jisung both stared at the little boy who was happily watching tv.

"now that he's with mark, don't you think he'll be less with us?" jisung asked worriedly.

"mark is his caregiver. it's normal for hyuck to be more with him." jaemin shrugged.

"yeah, but... i don't know... he was all we cared about before. and now, he's about to leave us..." jisung explained.

jaemin raised a brow before smirking. "i'm sure that the void he'll create in you will soon be replaced."

"by who?" jisung asked cluelessly.

"well... a chinese boy you've had your eyes on for a while..."

needless to say, jisung flushed pink at those words, making jaemin laugh hard.

"welcome to my house!" chenle exclaimed, opening the door wide to allow the three boys inside.

"lele!" donghyuck exclaimed before tackling the boy in a hug.

"hello, hyuckie. you should go inside; mark is waiting for you." he said, whispering in the mentally younger's ear.

"yeah!"

donghyuck ran inside the unfamiliar house, looking around to search for mark.

however, the only person that he could see was jeno.

"hi nono!" donghyuck exclaimed. "where is daddy?"

"hello hyuckie. he's in the kitchen." jeno replied with a smile.

"and where is the kitchen?" donghyuck asked quickly.

"over there."

donghyuck dashing in the direction jeno had pointed at without really paying attention to his surroundings.

"dadd- "

the boy's word was cut short as he collided with someone, hitting his forehead against theirs before falling on his butt on the floor.

the two boys – donghyuck, and renjun who had happened to slip into his little mind – both rubbed their foreheads as tears welled up in their eyes because of pain.

a second later, both boys were crying loudly like babies, sitting in the middle of the kitchen.

"what is happening in here?" mark asked, appearing in the landscape. "oh, baby..."

donghyuck cried loudly, but lifted his arms in the air anyway so that mark could carry him.

the canadian immediately understood the message because he bent forward and lifted the younger off the ground easily before rocking him in his arms.

"shh... shh... stop crying baby... i'm here..." he whispered, one of his hands rubbing the boy's back at the same time, calming the boy a bit.

"is it renjun that i hear crying?" jaemin asked appearing through the door as his eyes fell on renjun who was still on the floor. "oh, junjun..."

jaemin quickly imited mark, picking the boy up in his arms, and allowing renjun to nuzzle in his neck.

"why are you crying, junjun?" jaemin asked, brushing the boy's hair off his face.

"hyuckie and junjun collide and hurt..." renjun replied with a few sniffles.

"where are you hurt, princess?" jaemin asked.

"here..." renjun pointed at his forehead.

"show me. i'm going to kiss your boo-boo to heal it." jaemin declared.

renjun approached his forehead from jaemin's head as jaemin leant forwards, placing a long kiss on the bruised area.

"here, you're healed." jaemin declared with a smile.

"yeah!" renjun happily exclaimed. "thank chu owner!"

jaemin chuckled at the boy's cuteness, his heart melting completely. "you're welcome, princess."

jaemin smiled at the boy in his amrs.

he couldn't believe how fast he had gotten attached to the boy – both his little mindset and his normal one. at first, he used to have feelings only for jeno, and he was hesitant about them because jeno had a boyfriend. but now, he was proud to say that he had feelings for both jeno and renjun, and the fact he turned out to be renjun's caregiver was even better.

jeno had even suggested that the three of them became a throuple because of their obvious feelings for one another. and let's be real, jaemin wan't nothing more than that to happen.

"he fell asleep..."

jaemin lifted his head, looking at mark who was holding donghyuck carefully in his arms.

"he tends to fall asleep after crying." jaemin explained, rocking renjun into his arms.

"do you want me to put him in the bedroom?" mark asked.

"i haven't asked chenle where he'll be sleeping yet." jaemin told.

"he's sleeping with me." mark informed. "and if i understood well, jisung rooms with chenle, and you with jeno and renjun."

"o-o-oh..." jaemin stammered, already imagigning himself sleeping in the same bed as the two boys he had started to develop feelings for.

"does it bother you?" mark asked. "you want to swap rooms with me?"

"no, no!" jaemin shook his head. "i'll gladly sleep with jeno and junjun." jaemin declared, hugging the boy in his arms tighter.

"great then. i'll bring donghyuck to our room." mark flashed jaemin a smile before disappearing inside a corridor.

"owner..." renjun mumbled.

"yes, princess?" jaemin replied immediately.

"me wanna be with master too..."

"of course. let's go and see master together." jaemin smiled before heading towards the living room, where jeno was seated on a sofa, peacefully waiting for his two boys to arrive.

"you're going to sleep with me tonight if you don't mind." chenle declared, showing jisung his bedroom for him to put his bags.

"oh, i don't." jising shook his head. "that's very cool actually."

"perfect then." chenle smiled.

jisung placed his bag on the floor before taking some time to admire the boy's room.

it was very large, and with a high ceiling. the walls were painted red, as well as some of the furniture around the room.

there was a huge tv in a corner of the room, in front of which was placed a small couch with tons of pillows.

in another corner, there was an open door leading to a huge walk-in closet with all of chenle's clothes.

there was a desk on which were stacked up piles of papers next to a large bay window that gave access to a balcony and offered a beautiful view of the neighbourhood.

jisung walked towards the balcony, his eyes wandering to the papers on the desk for a quick second. that's when he saw something like a journal sitting on top of the desk.

this wouldn't have bothered it normally, but the fact that the journal was opened, and that he could read his name written there in bold letters with little hearts around had made his heart skip a beat unconsciously.

could chenle return his feelings?

"oh my!" chenle gasped before running to the desk and snatching the journal. "did you see anything?" he asked, cheeks flushed.

"n-no." jisung shook his head, his cheeks being as red as chenle's.

"okay, good."

jisung continued his way towards the bay window that he opened. he walked outside as chenle threw the journal somewhere and joined him on the balcony.

the two boys stayed silent for a few seconds, just enjoying the cool breeze that was hitting them.

"why was my name written there?" jisung asked, the curiosity killing him inside.

"you saw what was written!" chenle gasped, getting redder.

"yeah..." jisung nodded slowly.

"i'd like to tell you... but i'm too scared you'll hate me..." chenle explained, lowering his head.

"hey, chenle."

chenle lifted his head, looking into jisung's eyes.

they were full of sparks and love, and chenle wondered how he could continue living if he told jisung about his true feelings and that the taller didn't like him back.

"i'll never hate you. i'm too fond of you for that." jisung whispered, his hands cupping th eboy's cheeks sweetly.

"w-well..." chenle stuttered, blushing hard.

"don't be scared to tell me." jisung whispered.

"i like you..." chenle admitted quickly, his eyes closing shut immediately not to see jisung's rejection.

however, he didn't expect to earn a low chuckle followed by the feeling of soft yet warm lips pressing against his own, and making him melt immediately.
