Seonghwa from Ateez as your cg!

I think he’d be a parental caregiver Mama Seonghwa lives in my head rent free

Seonghwa would definitely spoil his baby no matter, you had a bad day? Don’t worry Mama’s bought you that bunny stuffed animal you liked!

I feel like he’d be great dealing with an regressors that are more on the silent side I can see him holding his hands out and going “Okay, my sweet doll do you want to go to the park today or do you wanna go to swimming with Mingi, Yunho and Jongho?”

Seonghwa is the one who will call you any pet names but his favorites to use is Sweetheart, Sweetie, Sweet doll, and Mamas baby

Seonghwa is the king of dealing with tantrums he lets you scream, cry, if you hit he’d give you a pillow so you won’t hurt yourself or him but once you finally calm down he will question you asking things like “What made Mommy’s baby so angry?” Or “My sweet thing you’re having such big emotions right now and it’s okay, let mama help you relax okay? I’ll make it all better.”

After tantrum cuddles, forehead and cheek kisses, and lot of lots of reassurance

He will never get mad at you for having a tantrum, because he understands this is a coping mechanism and it’s not always going to be sunshine and rainbows, sometimes it will be thunderstorms and lightning

I also think he’d hang up all over your coloring sheets on his fridge he’s running out of roam on his fridge

I don’t think he’d be be strict necessarily but he does have rules, specifically bedtime and making sure you eat proper meals and not like microwaved dinners

If you’re long distance like he’s on tour he will text you as much as he can and will buy you anything cute he sees and thinks you’ll like

Cg! Ateez : They’re baby gets hurt at the park! :(

Hongjoong:

Hongjoong would most likely be on a bench while you played he had a long day at work and wanted to relax while you did your own thing in the empty park, it was the best time to go anyways! Kids were still in school, it wasn’t far from the company nor home and barely anyone went there anyways besides other idols. Hongjoong was looking at his phone when all the sudden he heard a cry and a shout of “Papa!” Which would cause any caregivers head to shoot up in alarm. There was his sweet baby on the ground in front of the swings, of course he’d rush over! What kind of papa would he be if he didn’t. He’d coo at you “Aw love what happened! Did you try to jump from the swings to get off? Let Papa see.” He’d check your hands and gently feel your ankles just incase of swelling. Once he knew you were okay, and only had a slight scrape he’d kiss your scrap and take you back home to get you cleaned up and give you kisses apologizing for your little scrape. Hongjoong would give you a big hug and make you a snack and extend bedtime just by a little bit.

Seonghwa:

He took you to the park cause he had a day off from busy idol life, he thought it would be fun to let you play while he picked out the diner to go to meet up with everyone else who absolutely adored you. Of course Seonghwa would multitask watching you, and even playing as well but while playing around chasing you because you wanted him to play monsters you tripped and fell down, he’d immediately kneel down to your level and gently place you into his lap, “Let mama see where it hurts.” When he saw your poor hands all red he felt his heart ache, he got up holding you not really caring if others saw because his baby comes first. He’d have you sit on the bench and go into his bag he always brought around with him while you were regressed in public, he’d have wipes, hand sanitizer, bandages and masks and of course toys. Seonghwa seems like the type to always want to be over prepared then under, “Aw Mamas poor baby, you’re hands are so red.” He’d use the wipes to clean your hands off and tell you silly things so you wouldn’t cry and feel better. Seonghwa wouldn’t take you home but spoil your appetite before you both went to go the diner to meet with everyone else. He’s give your cheeks kisses and tell you how much he loves you. Just don’t tell Jongho that he bought you two extra toys that day or else Seonghwa will get in trouble for spoiling you too much.

Yunho:

He shouldn’t have told Hongjoong that big brother Yunho could take care of you at the park. He was maybe, slightly, definitely distracted talking to someone who he found interesting because of the outfit they were wearing. He only paid full attention when he heard “Owie! Yunho!” And the a loud sob he spun around so quick he thought he was about to get a headache. When he saw your face red and a slight bloody nose from you getting hit from a ball since you we’re playing with another little at the park, he felt his heart drop suddenly he rush over and even though it was unsanitary he used his sleeve to help stop the bleeding. He kissed your forehead and repeatedly asked if you want him to call Mama or Papa when you said no you want dada he knew it was more of a parental moment then big brother moment. “Dadas so sorry he wasn’t paying attention, my poor moon. Let me take you to go see that new movie you wanted to watch Hongjoong won’t be too mad if we’re late to dinner.” Ten more forehead kisses and a stop to a convince store to wash you up, he’d take you do go see a movie and just spoil the hell out of you until Hongjoong called and said you both needed to come home because it was dark. He’d let you sleep in his room for the night and give extra cuddles, no teasing you like a big brother would or anything just cuddles and maybe another movie.

San:

He was just doing big brother duties, pushing you around a bit, teasing you, chasing you and jump scaring you to hear you giggle and run. He was more in a big brother headspace then a father one so that’s why he choose the park to go play! He turned his head for one moment and you fell. How? He didn’t know and didn’t want to ask because he’d feel terrible. He hugged you as you cried about how your hands hurt from the fall and he’d kiss your hands until you started to giggle and smile again. “How about we play on the swings. Can’t get hurt on that can you?” He’d tease gently poking your forehead before taking you to go play more, he’d swing by you gently and ask you questions about what you wanted for your next stuffed animal and even talk about sharing a strawberry cake with you. When you weren’t paying attention he’d look for a new spot that opened up so you too could go get something to eat. I think San would also feel guilty about looking away from you for like next twenty minutes because if hadn’t looked away maybe he could’ve prevented your fall.

Authors note: like I said in my earlier post I wanted to make this an OT8 post but I’m not feeling good cause of my stomach ache! If you guys want a part two let me know :D

Matz as Caregiver thoughts!

I think they’d be a Mama and Papa caregiver duo

While Hongjoong does spoil you because his little needs to be spoiled by their papa Seonghwa is 100% worse when it comes to spoiling you

Cg! Matz aren’t very strict but they have rules, no tv after bedtime, no screaming at anyone out of anger, no hitting, just basic rules like that

If emotions feel way too big they know how to help, they let you talk about how you feel if you can’t they give you options, drawing / colouring, listen to music, or quiet time

They do take you out a lot it can be to the aquarium or the movies but they do take you to the park a lot

I can see them being very outside caregivers they like taking you outside, whether it’s to go swimming, to the park or even just giving you chalk to draw on the side walk

I see Mama Seonghwa drawing with you on the side walk or driveway while Papa Hongjoong is inside getting snacks and drinks

I can also see like Papa Hongjoong sitting on the living room floor with you playing with you while Mama Seonghwa orders dinner or reads a book occasionally saying something about the book or food he’s ordering

Very sweet and very loving caregivers Seonghwa is more cuddly while Hongjoong isn’t he still does give you cuddles though just not as often as Seonghwa
