had his son young, at 20Ā
as impossible as it sounds in this reality, his career survived and his relationship too kindaĀ
he didnāt quite feel ready to have a mini me yet but he only made progress the more his baby grew upĀ
he always bought him clothes, his camera roll is literally filled with pictures of mio and everytime heās away he looks through the photographs like itās the pic he hid in his helmet for war
āāą£ ą£āļ½”š¦¹Ā°
theo has at least 10 photos in his phone of jongseob and mio napping togetherĀ
sometimes it feels like heās more of a big brother, and people often think he is, maybe thatās just the aura he gives off, but he always corrects them on his statusĀ
he has a hard time with authority, he often has to be more confident when it doesnāt come naturally, even mio if is a pretty āeasyā kid, nothing about being a parent is easyĀ
āāą£ ą£āļ½”š¦¹Ā°
he can always count on the members to help, and once in a while when heās too exhausted, he will ask one of them to take care of mio for a few hoursĀ
he would literally sit hours at his desk on his pc with mio on his lap either asking questions when heās older or napping when he was a babyĀ
āāą£ ą£āļ½”š¦¹Ā°
jongseob would literally stay awake hours next to his newborn son to make sure he was breathing, when he had realized the amount of stress he would be under the day mio was born, when he understood that he truly had to take responsibility and protect him, it had been overwhelming, he realized heād spend the rest of his life worrying about his boy (and he did)Ā
āāą£ ą£āļ½”š¦¹Ā°
he thought that with his career heād mastered managing anxiety as a child, but nothing compared to the tiny life depending on himĀ
even as mio grew older, you could see on every p1harmony time off vlog jongseob in the background always looking somewhere else because heās always watching his childĀ
āāą£ ą£āļ½”š¦¹Ā°
spending time with mio is his favorite thing, sometimes he does spend a few minutes showering him with kisses to make him giggle and telling him he loves him ā of courseĀ but he really felt the most at peace when he took his son to the park, to get ice cream, to walk shotaās dogs, or just when he was older to watch movies, or eat in the car listening to musicĀ
āāą£ ą£āļ½”š¦¹Ā°
mio resembled him a lot, so they understood each other and had a bond different from most dads and sonsĀ
jongseob wanted his child to have a real childhood but never let go of his creativity and differences, people easily grew fond of mio, liked having conversations with himĀ
āāą£ ą£āļ½”š¦¹Ā°
his dad stayed his hero all his life, he knew he wasnāt perfect but that balancing being an idol and a young dad was anything but easyĀ
and jongseob would be lying if he said heād never cried from pressure, or exhaustion trying to not put the groupās career at risk but also being ready to sacrifice anything for his babyĀ
āāą£ ą£āļ½”š¦¹Ā°
when mio grew up to be a teenager, he learned to view his dad as a human being too as dumb as it sounds, he wasnāt just his dad, he was a whole personĀ
he got to see more of him, when jongseob would speak more openly about his struggles because mio was older nowĀ
āāą£ ą£āļ½”š¦¹Ā°
jongseob got to finally admit out loud how hard it was when he was young and taking care of mio, even if you had already spoken to mio about itĀ
you always wanted your son to be easy on his father, even if it mightāve sounded unfair, because he didnāt ask to be born, you didnāt want him to regret anything as an adultĀ
and they kept a close bond, jongseob always gave him the quiet attention he needed, made sure he felt safe and loved especially when he was a teenager and started asking himself questionsĀ
āāą£ ą£āļ½”š¦¹Ā°
even if it was great to have a young and cool dad, beyond being his best friend he did stay his dad firstĀ
if he noticed his kid was having a hard time, he always reached out, never forced him to speak even if he also struggled with accepting his son could suffer, he knew life was hardĀ
be sure jongseob was always on his phone texting mio whenever they had a break from practiceĀ
āāą£ ą£āļ½”š¦¹Ā°
when mio became an adult, his father remained the one person he wanted to fully understand, he wanted to know all about him and he was his favorite person to listen to, he found him so bright, everything he said sounded so relevant
they stayed close until jongseobās very last breath and his last thought was his toddler giggling in the studio.Ā
i wrote this really late like two nights ago, itās just a bunch of messy ideas ā but i like this concept
