#dad!seonghwa

reader pov

the sound of overlapping voices fills the room. plates are being passed around, utensils clank against bowls and the smell of the variety of food invades my senses in the best way. the kids have been called back from whers they were playing to join us for the grand dinner we were all anticipating the whole year. christmas dinner with my husband's family and it's our 4th time attending, this time with yet another new born along with our four year old. now i know what people say about the father/husband's side of the family but i adore each and every one of these people.

however, i have learnt over the years seonghwa and i have been together that his family knows how to do chaos. they do it too well, if you ask me.

“pass the japchae, would you?” seonghwa's cousin calls out from the far end of the table, leaning forward and almost knocking over a glass of water in the process, making mr park let out an exasperated breath.

“relax ara, it’s coming. you act like you haven’t eaten all year.” he says, shaking his head.

“she eats every two hours like clockwork.” seonghwa jokes, dodging the chopsticks ara half-heartedly aims at him.

i can’t help but laugh as i scoop some onto my plate. his family is loud, hilarious, and utterly shameless when it comes to teasing each other,but its how they show love.

at the other end of the table is our 4 year old daughter who's sitting on a booster seat along with her cousins without a care in the world. she's having so much fun over there, i might just leave her here. she's busy chatting away with her uncle about lord knows what.

"uncle junho is eating so fast!" she exclaims almost too loud. she fits right in, i could tear up.

"i'm hungry. look at you, you're eating like a bird." he tries defending himself which offends her.

"no i'm not. daddy, uncle junho say i eat like a bird."

"she does not eat like a bird." seonghwa says, coming to the defense of the little girl which brings laughter to everyone around the table.

seonghwa's aunt, aunt vera, clears her throat, drawing everyone's attention as she picks up the untouched dish from the table. everyone quiets down and eyes the dish. not a word being uttered in disbelief. good or bad, it's up to you to decide.

"what is it?" her son asks what i think were all wondering.

"its my famous brussels sprouts gratin." she declairs brightly as if she just stated the obvious amd the room falls awkward silent with a strained "oh" here and there.

"is that what it is?" i hear someone feintly ask and i'm almost certain its seonghwa's sister, seonghee.

9"famous where?" junho asks under his breath, earning him a nudge from seonghee.

i turn and glance at seonghwa who's biting his lip to keep from laughing, but the look we exchange says everything.

"well... thanks for bringing it." my mother in law says to her still enthusiastic older sister.

"oh of course. i thought i'd add a little something different to the table. a little western touch for our dearest daughter in law's sake." she enthuses, oblivious to the looks of everyone around the table. even the kids are quiet.

"wow... thank you aunt. that's very thoughtful of you." i respond politely and junho stifles a laugh which spreads to ara.

"you don't have to eat it." seonghwa whispers and i nudge him with my elbow.

"looks funny." seonghee's son says, breaking the silence and seonghee looks at him completely defeated.

"sweetheart." she breathes out and everyone laughs, including aunt vera.

"eunbyeol, dear. eat your carrots." my mother in law says to our daughter but miss girl hates vegetables. no matter how i cook them, she hates them. only way to make her eat is if i make a full vegetarian meal. then she doesn't have a choice.

the little girl just shakes her head vigorously.

it was worth a shot. seonghwa and i just give his mother an apologetic look.

as the meal continues, the gratin remains mostly untouched, sitting forgotten in its dish as everyone conveniently “forgets” to pass it around. and by the time desert rolls around, we're all pretty much stuffed. i stepped out to breastfeed the littke monster who woke up screaming her little lungs out. seonghwa ran in panicking before he realized it was time to feed her.

"ready to go see everyone again my baby? wanna be held by big sister byeollie?" i coo at the baby who has a vice grip on my breast and is drinking for today and tomorrow.

"you two still good in here?" seonghwa asks, walking into the room and i nod at him.

"say we're fine papa." i prompt the little girl who is absolutely silent. the way we talk to babies needs to be investigated. "will you burp her?"

seonghwa nods and i hand him the baby who finally let go and he puts her on his shoulder and gently pats her back. once he's done with that we both walk out and eunbyeol is already in front of us.

"mommy, dadfu, is she awake?" she asks, her voice full of excitement. we already know she wants to play with her.

"wide awake." her eyes light up and seonghwa goes to sot down sk that eunbyeol can see her sister properly and her cousin joins in. seonghwa is smiling from ear to ear seeing how much eunbyeol adores her sister. nothing makes him happier than his daughters.

except me, of course.

a little while later, seonghwa joins me at the table where his mother, father, aunt vera, seonghee and ara are still sitting to have dessert.

as the night winds down, eunbyeol climbs into my lap, her energy finally starting to wane and seonghwa is in the other room with eunha and the guys. the room is still filled with the hum of conversation and laughter, and i feel a warm contentment settle over me.

“did you have fun tonight?” i ask her, brushing a strand of hair out of her face.

she nods sleepily, resting her head against my chest. “best christmas ever,” she murmurs.

yeah i know she's lying, she says this every year, but okay.

at the end of the night it's that bittersweet time to say goodbye to everyone.

i hug everyone, my mother in law giving me an especially long one, refusing to let go.

"mother, hugging her any longer, won't make them stay the night." junho jokes and seonghee flicks his head, causing him to whine. how this man has a whole kid is beyond me.

"drive safely, okay?" my mother in law says sadly and we nod.

"we will. bye everyone." seonghwa, who's carrying a sleeping eunbyeol says and we go to his car, settling the kids before getting in the car and driving away. another family christmas, successful.

They all turn to find Rhea flipping him off after the door slams causing everyone except Julie to gasp shocked by her actions, “Oh please you guys act as if you don't even know me it's embarrassing,” she rolls her eyes taking a seat, “In all seriousness though how are we going to fix this,” she says before handing the small waste bin to Y/N who stared at her with a confused expression, “Oh trust me you're gonna need it in 3..2..1,” and as if on cue she turned her chair before releasing her breakfast into the bin, Rhea holding her hair up as Julie grabbed a cup of water from the dispenser, “there you go. Now please tell me this is due to nerves and not the alternative because if it is then we'll really all be dead,” she turned to Seonghwa who could only look at her with guilty eyes.

“We don't know that's what we were trying to find out when we got called but if it is I take full responsibility for it and will take full blame. I'll say I coerced her and hid it behind your guys’ back. The only reason we're in this mess in the first place is because of me and none of you deserve to lose your livelihoods over me,” Seonghwa admitted.

“Look as much as we may value your valor and selflessness Seonghwa we also enabled it we're all to blame. Even then contracts or not you can't mess with human nature. I'm sure you two aren't the first to do this in the industry and you most definitely will not be the last we'll figure it out little by little,” Rhea reassured them as she rubbed circles on Y/N's back as she took deep breaths, “First things first we find out the cause to your puking spells,” she turns to Y/N as she takes a reluctant deep breath.

Y/N paced back and forth across Seonghwa's trailer as they all waited patiently for the results |. As she turned she quietly to go around again she fought with her inner monologue. “I can't be pregnant, we can't, we used protection, but then his birthday and the beach, god why did i have to be so stupid, but we would have known by now, but i didn't have morning sickness with Elijah so maybe it is just food poisoning but they say that morning sickness depends on the sperm, then if that's the case he sick for that, but then you let him, oh my god i'm beginning to act hormonal, why am I acting like a teen again i'm a grown a-,” she's interrupted by Seonghwa who was now standing in front of her cupping her face. Her eyes widen as she comes to realize he had been trying to get her attention. She sighs the stress beginning to settle in her head and showing in her eyes instead tears welling in her eyes absent mindedly putting a hand over her uterus. Reading her expression he rubs a gentle thumb over her cheek before pulling her close, resting her head over hers rubbing circles on her back.

“You don't have to say anything right now, just listen to me. Whatever that test says I'll be by your side regardless and although I would want more than anything to have a little one of our own and make Elijah a big brother I only want it if you do and when you're ready and if that's not what you want that's okay too. At the end of the day you choose and I'll be there to support you,” Seonghwa finishes kissing the top of her head.

With that the tears begin to flow staining his hoodie. “You got a whole village to back you up this time,” Rhea pipes up, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. Julia gets up to join them in a group hug agreeing. Y/N wipes her tears, sighing happily looking at part of her new village that she had gained since living in LA. Rhea was right even before Elijah was well known news they had always had her back through thick and thin even more so after. She nodded softly, mouthing a silent thank you. She leans against them as the timer rings, the 4 of them turning towards the phone and test laying on the counter. “Do you want me to check for you?” Rhea asks. Y/N shakes her head pulling away from Seonghwa to check. She takes a deep breath picking up the test seeing the two lines present as ever on both tests. She turns to Seonghwa hands softly shaking a bittersweet feeling overcoming her. A mix of excitement of the future and dread from their current predicament. She chokes back a mix of tears and a laugh. “Really?” Seonghwa asks as she only nods in response, causing to envelop her in a tight hug as she smiles in his embrace nestling her head in the crook of his neck. For a short moment it's only those 4 in their own little bubble.

“I'm supposing your reaction means you're | keeping it?” Julie asks cautiously.

“Most likely but it's still all so quick and with everything going on and Elijah,” Y/N rambles.

“Take your time but for now think of you and your family and let us deal with the rest,” Rhea reassures.

“I can't ask you guys to take all that on,” Y/N shakes her head.

“You have enough to worry about, please,” a vulnerable side of Rhea that is rarely shown appearing, “I promise we'll be here when you're ready.”

“Now both of you shoo and go home we'll get to the bottom of this and present a game plan to you later,” said Julie rushing them out before returning, “We have our work cut out for us,” she sighs, turning to face Rhea.

“That we do,” Rhea nods.

Curious on their predicament they decide to go to the doctor wanting a bit more clarity. The nurse walked into the room bringing out the results, “Your tests we're correct you guys are expecting. Congratulations mom and dad to be. All that's left is to find out how far along you are and you'll be on your way until you can see your own doctor which will be in 2 days so if mom you don't mind laying back for me and lifting your shirt bit,” the nurse explained. Seonghwa sensing Y/N's nerves gave her hand a gentle squeeze of reassurance reminding her of their agreement. “If you want we can wait till your appointment no big deal, give you time to think,” he explains.

“No it's ok it's just been awhile,” Y/N says taking a deep breath.

“Nerves are perfectly normal, planned or unplanned, take your time dear,” the nurse reassures.

Y/N lays back giving the nurse a small nod to proceed after lifting her shirt. “Jelly is a bit cold so bear with me,” the nurse explains before proceeding.

~7 years ago~

“And there they are I would say you're about 17 weeks so about 4 months. Let's see if we can get a heartbeat,” the nurse says, turning on the sound, the baby's heartbeat strong and prominent, “perfectly healthy baby, did you want to know the gender, sweetie?” the nurse asked, turning to Y/N.

“No, I'm ok, I don't plan on keeping it. I'm giving it up for adoption and moving on,” Y/N replies with hesitation in her voice her face turned away from the doppler machine not wanting to see it in fear of getting attached, “They'll be better off with someone better suited to be a mother than me,” she sighs taking the towel from the nurse wiping her belly, “Thank you though I appreciate.”

“If you change your mind there are plenty of resources made to help you and your child just let us know,” the nurse explains finishing her chart.

~Present Day~

“There’s the little one, definitely looks like they're getting dad's height but even then i'd estimate you're about 10 weeks out. Let's see if we can get a heartbeat,” the nurse states adjusting the machine, “Here we go sounds strong you guys have a perfectly healthy baby according to your tests,”she beams. The nurse helps her wipe her belly before letting her get up. “Just follow through with your doctor so you guys can begin to discuss birthing plans that work best for you.”

The pair nod, taking the papers as they follow the nurse through the clinic towards the exit thanking her before making their way home. Pulling into the driveway of Y/N's house Seonghwa parks his car taking a deep breath, “I guess we should discuss a plan at least of some sort regardless of the outcome,” he suggests.

“We should, I forgot how much goes into it considering last time I was in straight up fight mode,” Y/N nodded softly, “Are you sure you're okay with having a kid and a baby around. I mean I get Elijah is older but a baby I mean your career is really starting to take off now and a baby takes up a lot of time an-,” she's cut off by him holding her hand.

“Hey we'll figure it out as we go okay. I'm not gonna say i have it all planned but I will say i'm willing to take this challenge on and this risk if you are. We're a team and even the its you who comes first not me you carry the biggest weight both metaphorically and physically. We'll start small, what's our timeline in just chapters we can always discuss details in the days and weeks that come. We have 30 weeks give or take,” he suggests.

“Well first I guess is telling Elijah and then I guess choosing one roof to live under,” she ponders.

“There's a start,” he nods, smiling softly.

The pair headed inside, continuing their conversation, waiting till the boy returned with his adopted grandma from their excursion. As the days went by work was still tense but either his home or hers became their safe haven as they discussed their future and planned while enjoying the moments with just the 3 or 4 of them deciding to reveal the news to everyone either when she started showing or after the third trimester in case of any complications. Seonghwa spent more time away than he liked due to the premiere of his latest project nearing as well as working a contingency with Rhea, Julie, and San, not wanting to stress Y/N any further. Y/N, on the other hand, continued to burn the letters with no return address, claiming to be her parents, believing it to be some cruel joke. When the letters ceased, she believed her suspicions had been confirmed only for her to be proven wrong in the worst way possible.

SEONGHWA ˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚

― doctor dad

• usually his office is flooded with lovely little patients

• so he tries to pick out a less hectic day from his schedule to bring his kid with him to work

• this is because he wants to be able to look after his child well

• and at the same time get them to play and interact with his cute patients

• his kid did say "i want daddy to help me make new fwends"

• "my baby's wish, is my command" he replies

• it wasn't obvious that he was excited to bring his kid to see him work. really, no.

• it wasn't evident even when they came to the clinic with matching lab coats and stethoscopes hanging from their necks.

• his' was the real deal ofc while his child had a cute blue one with stitch on it. (if he spent a lot of money just for that, no one had to know)

• most nurses that passed by them cooed because his child looked exactly like his mini me

• seonghwa smiles so bright, heart swelling, and he holds his kid's hand even tighter, eventually swaying it until they arrive at his office

• before he gets ready for his shift, he makes sure to introduce every single thing inside the room (everything within his child's reach was kid-friendly anyway so he didn't have to worry much)

• "baby look, do you know what these are?"

• "tweddy!" his child would cutely reply, pointing at the yellow teddy bear in his dad's hands

• seonghwa would play with his kid for a while

• they made the stuffed toys their patients, he was the nurse, and his child was the doctor

• "this is a stethoscope" "stescowp!" "that's right, very good!"

• "you put this on your patient's chest, so you can hear their heartbeat." "artbeat?" his child would look up at him, confused

• seonghwa would pinch their cheeks first, unable to resist their cuteness

• then he'll begin explaining, "heartbeat is the sound your heart makes. it goes lub-dub, lub-dub"

• he matches it with comical expressions and wide gestures that it makes his kid laugh

• why are they so adorable? he'd think

• and then it'll be time for him to face his patients

• he leaves his kid at the corner to play with the toys they brought, saying he'll be back

• "promise me you'll behave? no crying?"

• "pwomise, no cwying, daddy" his kid will reply and they'll do a pinky promise

• seonghwa prepares his cute stickers and candies at the side for his patients while he waits

• he only had to do consultations and check-ups for today, he made sure of that

• in between breaks, he plays again with his kid

• and when they got slightly bored playing doctor with the stuffed toys, seonghwa will call on his nurse friend who wasn't on call

• and then he'd go back to his desk, continue charting, while his kid goes to the clinic's cafeteria for snack break

• it was seonghwa's last patient when things started to get a little rocky

• his last patient was a three year old girl who's having a check up for the first time

• she was scared and seonghwa didn't know what to do

• none of his stickers, candy, and coaxing were working successfully and that was a first time for him

• but then his kid stood up from the puzzle mat where they were playing with their toys

• his child picks up the yellow teddy bear that seonghwa gave them earlier

• they'd waddle towards the little girl

• and if it weren't for the current situation, seonghwa would've giggled because his child is adorable

• surprisingly, his kid was able to ease the girl and stop her from crying

• they would talk to the little girl while they both hold the teddy bear's hands

• seonghwa would smile and then he'll immediately check on the girl's heartbeat with his stethoscope while she's still distracted

• distracted by his child's ramblings

• it was such an adorable scene

• when it was time to go home, seonghwa gets startled when his child suddenly runs to his desk

• he watches them as they go over his sticker packs (his child was actually drawn to them since they arrived in his office)

• a particular yellow heart and a blue 'good job' sticker got his kid's attention and then they're running back to seonghwa

• the kid tugs at seonghwa's slacks, asking him to sit and seonghwa ends up crouching in front of his child

• "this one's for daddy" his kid puts the yellow heart on his dad's coat,

• and then comes the good job sticker, "because daddy helped me make a new fwend. i love daddy's job" his child would say

• "can you get me a sticker too?" "yes!"

• his kid will bring back a "great patient!" sticker without even knowing it's meaning

• he picked it because it had stitch's face on it, and stitch was their favorite cartoon character

• seonghwa would chuckle and then place the sticker on his child's coat as well

• "this one is for you because you've been so well behaved today." he'd smile and then ruffle the child's hair

• and then they'd walk out of the clinic, hands swaying, with some occasional happy jumps from his kid

• a few stops were made as well because his child would show off his cute stitch sticker to every person that they would pass by, may it be a patient or a nurse

YUNHO ˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚

― actor dad

• the idea actually blossomed after the night he and his child played a game of charades

• at one point, yunho began acting out spongebob

• his child was having fun watching him and his comedic antics that they eventually blurt out

• "i wanna see daddy acting!"

• luckily, yunho's current movie project was a family-oriented one and the director was a friend of his

• as soon as they arrive at the filming site, his child marvels at everything they see

• "daddy, everything's soo big!" 

• yunho would chuckle

• at some point, his child gets too excited while yunho's talking to his co-actor

• he was so engrossed in their conversation that he almost forgot he had a child with him (how-)

• it's safe to say that he nearly lost his kid

• but he didn't

• so, all's well

• when yunho's time came for him to shine in front of the camera, his kid got to watch, front row. which was on the director's lap

• yunho knows and is a daily witness to how energetic and playful his child could get so he's actually surprised that his child was just calmly sitting there on someone they just met while seemingly being in awe by every expression yunho makes and every word he says

• in fact, his child has been behaving so well that the director let them speak through the megaphone to yell the word, "cut!" 

• but ofc it came out cute and tiny and adowable~

• yunho's kid got every person on the set laughing 

• later that day, a coffee truck that was sponsored by one of the casts in the movie came on the site

• the child was playing with yunho's manager and saw it

• "is that food?" the child points at the truck that had people approaching it

• yunho's manager would ask them if they want something to eat or drink but instead, the child says

• "can i get food for daddy?" they ask this with their head slightly tilted to the side

• they both ended up getting food and drinks and yunho's child does the honor of giving the sealed coffee cup to their daddy who was still filming

• as soon as yunho finishes, they carefully walk towards him

• "coffee delivery for daddy!" they'd say cutely, prompting yunho to chuckle

• then they'd share a pastry or two while yunho goes over his next lines

• when yunho gets back in front of the camera, his child would watch him intently

• their small mouth following their daddy's dialogue

• and when yunho finishes all his parts and is done for the day, he'll sit beside his kid, both of them following and mouthing every word the current actor says on screen

• soon after, both of them eventually got bored and yunho's manager finds them  getting all playful with the poor confused boy manning the coffee truck

• either bombarding him with questions about coffee or

• ordering a drink after another in a split second

• the manager ended up scolding them both

• but yunho and his child just laughs it off

• before things were wrapped up in the set, yunho planned to take a picture of himself so he could post it on his sns for the fans

• problem was, his child was starting to get all cranky and wouldn't want to leave his side

• so he asked for two pairs of sunglasses from his manager who also asked and got it from yunho's stylist

• when yunho gave the smaller sunglass to his child and said that they would take pictures like james bond, it brings a smile to the child's face

• "one, two, three!" yunho's manager would say while the both of them pose side by side, doing the infamous james bond pose

SAN ˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚

― florist dad

• they haven't even left the house yet but san is already cooing and taking pictures of his kid due to their adorable ootd

• he's too attached to his child that even if the child wants to be put down, he still carries them on the way to his newly opened flower shop

• his child loves him as much as he does, so they end up not fighting their dad's urge to carry them every single time

• they both sings songs while san walks, on the way there

• they do so even while san is opening up the shop and the kid sits on a stool, twirling around to see the different flowers around them

• until they eventually got dizzy and san had to attend to them for a second

• when san is finished organizing every nook and cranny of his beloved shop, he grabs two aprons from the stock room

• he puts the apron on but doesn't tie it yet, then he walks to his overly curious child, smiling

• he makes them lower their head and puts the cute little apron on them, trying his best to make a pretty ribbon while humming

• "can you tie my apron for me, angel?" he'd say after

• when the child nods their head, he doesn't waste any second and instantly turns

• while his child is tying his apron for him, he's smiling, dimples full on display while he clutches his chest, heart soaring

• san just adores his kid so much, okay?

• everything his child does make his heart do somersaults

• since it's still a newly opened shop, after san flips the closed sign into open, it was still quiet and empty

• and what does san do to fill the silence? he makes silly dance moves while he hums which makes his kid laugh heartily

• later on he starts actually singing, making up a song with flower names in the lyrics

• they do that for a moment until it started to get quite tiresome

• so he picks up his child and transfers the stool in front of the register, closer to him when he actually starts to attend to customers later

• san teaches his kid about each button and what they're for but the candy jar filled with flower shaped candies at the corner of the counter was what grabbed the child's attention more

• and yes, san put it there because of his own kid, and not because he has a sweet tooth. nope.

• when a customer does arrive and asks for assistance, san leaves his kid with the jar telling them not to finish it all up in one sitting

• "...or you'll have a sugar rush. are we clear, angel?" the kid nods at him. "very good. daddy will be back"

• he smiles at them and gives them a small pat on top of their cute little head

• soon after, san's got customer after another

• one particular elder lady was holding him up quite longer than the previous ones

• and san didn't really mind at all since he loves helping and being of service to others

• he didn't mind explaining each type of flower, their meaning, and what occasions they're great for, to the lady

• but from his peripheral vision, he could see that his angel was already pouting from their seat by the counter

• candy jar, untouched

• he knows, san knows, that his baby is already bored out of their minds

• most probably in need of something else to stimulate them and keep their cute lil head occupied

• the lady certainly notices the hesitation dancing in san's irises, even his fidgety hands

• "is that your child over there, young man?" she asks

• san rubs his nape, awkwardly, and says yes

• "they look like they're bored to the core" she points out

• "a-ah yes, i thought the colorful candies would keep them entertained for a bit"

• "clearly not" the lady scoffs, catching san off guard

• he wasn't sure what to make out of the lady's statement until...

• "why not bring them over here? let them explain whichever flower to me and maybe i'll be able to finally make up my mind" she says

• hearing that, san does everything to not squeal a yes in front of her and embarrass himself

• "i'll be right back" he says in a hurry, hurrying to save his child from the arms of boredom

• "well, hi there, little one. you're awfully adorable aren't you?"

• the child was a bit shy at first, but when san tells them it's okay, they start going out of their shell

• fondness danced in san's eyes as he watched his child cutely explain everything to the elder lady

• the elder lady who actually seemed to have an affinity for kids

• and then, san notices

• he only notices that his child has also gotten his long time habit of pouting while talking

• all his life, he's been called cute, adorable, and other compliments there are that matches his nickname, 'sannie'

• but now, he doesn't think there will be anyone else who'll ever compare to the cuteness of his precious angel.

Park Seonghwa

        Seonghwa had an unusual day off. He decided to do one of his favorite things, which was playing with his son in the backyard. Today, in particular, his son had gotten somewhat hungry while playing, so naturally, Seonghwa prepared a bottle for him. As they continued, Minseok began to doze off here and there. You heard Seonghwa laugh as you were in the kitchen getting dinner ready and you couldn’t help but check on them to see what they were up to. As you approached the pair you couldn’t help but laugh to find Minseok half asleep in his little tike car, his head nodding from side to side, clearly milk drunk as Seonghwa pretended to be a cop pulling him over. You pulled out your phone filming the duo as Seonghwa took the bottle gently from your son’s hand. Seonghwa gently tapped your son’s shoulder in patterns. “Sir, sir I need to see your license. Hello, sir,” he repeated as your son drunkenly opened his eyes replying with a lazy stare. “Sir, you’re very drunk. I think you geonbaed a little too hard,” Seonghwa said, tapping the doors of the car. You couldn’t help but stifle a laugh as you zoomed in on your son’s dazed state. Seonghwa shook the almost empty bottle in front of your son as he spoke again, “Look here’s the evidence you drank it all.

“Sir, I really need your license,” he repeated, trying not to laugh as he gently tapped his chest and moved his arm.

        Your son could only lay his head back as his eyes closed again. “Hey, hello, are you alive,” Seonghwa teased whistling before squishing Minseok’s cheeks together a couple of times. You couldn’t help but burst into laughter with Seonghwa as he attempted to wake your son by hitting the squeaky horn repeatedly. That was definitely one for the books.

Jeong Yunho

        The moment your daughter stole a rocoto from its bowl at the center of the table and was unwilling to give it up he knew this moment would go one of two ways. Either she would like it and nothing would happen or she’d cry from how spicy it was. Regardless he knew it would be recorded by one of the few cameras that were filming them for the day for a TV special so he’d be able to look back at it. He watched as your daughter calmly ate her food, both of you hoping Hyoyeon would forget about the spicy pepper altogether. Unfortunately for the both of you she didn’t in fact when she saw you eat one she immediately reached for her own taking a decent-sized bite out of it. The two of you looked at her in shock as you watched her process her emotions and thoughts. A few seconds passed before taking a deep breath with her tongue between her teeth. “Mama are you okay?” you asked wondering if she liked it or not. She took a drink from her cup before saying one of her favorite phrases.

“Ta bueno,” Hyo smiled with a thumbs up as you both sighed in relief. (it’s good)

“You’re your mother’s daughter alright,” Yunho chuckled softly before continuing to eat.

        Yunho watched as your daughter continued to eat, occasionally blowing onto the pepper before eating it alongside something else on her plate. Yunho couldn’t help but chuckle at her silliness. “Is it too hot Hyo?” he asked.

“No, it’s good. Appa try,” she said, holding it out to him.

        Although he wanted to deny her offer he couldn’t reject her pleading eyes. He took a bite as the pair of girls watched him. Although he felt a burning sensation on his tongue he finished his piece before opening his mouth to show her he had finished it. You and Hyo clapped and cheered with him. Your daughter was quick to act grabbing another one and putting it on his plate, “Appa like? Have more,” she smiled. Yunho’s victory smile dropped as he looked at you for help and you couldn’t help but laugh.

Kang Yeosang

        Yeosang was taking your daughter to the doctor when he was advised that she needed her vaccines. Knowing that despite you not being able to be there you’d want to be witness to this moment. He pulled out his phone filming as he watched as one nurse held her gently as the other one prepped the area. Eunbyul watched attentively as the nurse set up the needle. Not wanting her to be frightened he called her name in an attempt to catch her attention. At first, she ignored him but after the 3rd time, she turned just as the needle went into her leg. At this point, Yeosang was just waiting for her to cry instead she glared at her father. Taken back, Yeosang couldn’t help but stifle a laugh, “Who are you looking at like that for?” he chuckled before she tilted her head motioning it toward him, her eyes widening.

“Oop,” the nurse let out as she put the bandage on her leg.

        This caused your daughter to turn her attention towards her, giving her the same look that she gave your husband not too long ago. She had a mini staring contest with her before she burst into laughter along with Yeosang and the other nurse. “I think you’ve been spending too much time with your momma. You got her sass but watch her say you got it from me,” Yeosang jokes before stopping the camera and sending you the video, which he would later post on his Instagram.

Choi San

        You were laying down with Yuri on your lap as you watched some TV. All was calm until San walked into the living leaning against the bottom of the couch as he looked for the perfect angle to film his idea. You watched him curiously as tried to slyly catch your daughter’s attention. Once he did she had already laid all the way back leaning her head against the couch as she attempted to reach for him. Your husband quickly fumbled with his phone before holding it steady and starting to film. You calmly watched as he held his finger out to her as the My Heart Will Go On played in the background. You watched as he got closer till she grabbed his finger. He kept his finger there until Rose from Titanic said her iconic line, “Jack, I’ll never let go.” 

        You raised your eyebrows as to where he was going with this until the music began to swell up again. Just as you heard Celine Dion sing again you watched as your husband slowly yet dramatically pulled away pretending to sink onto the floor next to the couch as you laughed, your daughter holding her hand opening hoping for him to join her again. After a bit of silence, you watched as San took your pouty daughter from your arms, handing you his phone and showing you the video he had just posted. He had added some slow-motion effect to the moment he pulled away and turned it black and white making your daughter’s expressions all the funnier. “You have nothing better to do, huh?” you teased turning back towards San.

“You just don’t appreciate my artistic talent enough,” he laughed, “Just you wait, I’ll win an Oscar someday.”

Song Mingi

        Mingi was with some other idols and their children filming a Father’s Day special when he watched the host bring out a carton of eggs. He watched as they instructed the children including their own to stand handing each of them an egg telling them to hold it and wait for further instruction. Mingi watched as Chewon and Daewon each took their egg, holding it and examining it before holding it out to him. “It’s yours you get to keep it for now,” Mingi explained as the twins could only look at one another in confusion. He watched as the host Kai explained to both the audience and the guest, “There’s a saying that babies are very gentle with eggs so we’re gonna put that to the test today. We’re gonna have all the dads stand on the opposite side of the room and call their children over to them. Rules are simple, the first one to make it to the other side with their egg fully intact wins. The little ones who are still too young to walk will sit this one out as we have another game for them.” 

        You watched from the side with the other moms knowing the chaos that was about to ensue. Just as the race started the little ones were quick to pace quickly over to their fathers. Some teased their dads running in opposite directions while others rolled the egg or played with it. You looked over at the twins who had yet to move from their spot looking at each other till Daewon took off running which sent Mingi into a panic. Naturally, his sister took off running behind him and you watched as Mingi’s anxiety grew more with each tumble and fall yet no matter how many times they’d fumble they managed to keep the egg from cracking. 

        At this point, Mingi looked like he was about to faint but then again so did the other dads as the race had turned more chaotic than expected. Both the crew and mothers laughed from the side as they watched the dads attempt to call their children over. Eventually, everyone’s attention turned as one of the MCs became excited as the twins got closer to their dad. Just as they were about to hand him the eggs they fell back onto their backs rolling into fits of laughter before Chaewon sat up bum-crawling to her dad to hand him the egg which was perfectly intact with her brother following close behind. Who knew that the simple game would make the perfect teaser.

Jung Wooyoung

        You were at work on break when you were told that your husband was trending on Twitter and TikTok. Thinking about their recent comeback you genuinely didn’t think much about it figuring it was something related to that. That was until you opened Twitter to find your son’s name trending not far below his father’s. Confused, you clicked the topic reading tweets like, “Youngjae is such a mood,” and, “Youngjae is Wooyoung’s mini twin.” Confused, you pressed the video tab and opened the recent video. Based on the outfits and the format of the screen recording it looked like Wooyoung had done a live stream today while babysitting. Sometime during it, your son had gotten hungry but instead of taking his bottle your son wanted your husband’s coffee instead. 

        You watched as your husband teased your son testing to see if he wanted the coffee or if it was just his imagination. Every time he’d set the cup near him he’d open his mouth to take the straw only for Woo to pull away causing Youngjae to be distraught. With every repetition your son only looked more betrayed and hurt until eventually, he hit a breaking point. During the last one, Woo couldn’t help but laugh at his son’s adorable pout which made your son laugh along only to let out a scream of frustration. Despite not liking to see your son upset you couldn’t help but laugh as well at their antics. You found a longer version of the video which later showed Wooyoung getting a new straw and putting it in his bottle before holding it out to Youngjae who happily took the bottle drinking his milk as his dad wiped the single tear that had fallen onto his face.

Choi Jongho

        Jongho had picked up your son from daycare and once in the car, he asked a very important question that was on his mind. “Dad, have you ever seen an elicottero?” Minho asked calmly. Jongho turned to him with a puzzled look as your son repeated his question. Once he realized the confusion he explained, “It’s a new Spanish word my friend taught me.”

“Oh. That’s your mom’s jurisdiction here, why don’t we call her,” Jongho said facetiming you.

“Hi mi vida,” you answered as you answered the call to see your son, “Hey my love.”

“Hey baby, your son has a Spanish question for you,” Jongho explained as began to screen-record, “Go ahead Minho, ask your mom.”

“Mom, have you ever seen an elicottero?” Minho asked.

        You somewhat had an idea as to what your son was talking about, but regardless, you asked for further clarification. “How does it go?” you asked. You watched as Minho put his hands together and began to move them up and down as he mimicked the sound of a helicopter. “Is that how it goes?” you asked.

“Yup have you ever seen one, an elicottero?” Minho nodded.

“Yes, I have,” you smiled, “Aver, como se dice helicoptero,” you replied. (Let’s see, how do you say helicoptero)

“Helicotero,” Minho nodded confidently as you and Jongho laughed.

Park Seonghwa

       Seonghwa was preparing dinner when you decided to play a little prank on him. Considering you had no time to prepare and were going on a whim you just pretended to gag as the smell of his cooking went into the living room. Too focused Seonghwa failed to notice until you walked into the kitchen attempting to push the smoke his way with a paper plate before going to open a window. “Come on Hwa at least open the window. Don’t get me wrong, I love your cooking but sometimes it smells too strong.” This made his ears perk up looking up at you with an analyzing stare. 

“Why are you looking at me like that?” you stated confused.“When was the last time you had your period?” he asked calmly, turning down the flames.

“Almost 3 weeks ago, why?” 

“Cause the only time you were sensitive to my cooking was when you were pregnant with Minnie,” he deduced, “That and not to mention last time we had some alone time we did get a bit ahead of ourselves,” he said, turning off the burner.

       He walked over to you pulling you close before feeling your forehead to make sure you weren’t running a fever. “I don’t have a fever, it just smells strong in here,” you chuckled, almost forgetting the point of your prank due to his tenderness. It didn’t take long for you to give up your failed charade. Unfortunately for you, karma would come to bite you in the butt the next morning when you woke up and ran to the bathroom. Seonghwa wasn’t long behind holding your hair out of the way as what you believed to be food poisoning began to take over. It wouldn’t be until you were at the ER with Seonghwa that you’d find out your prank was only foreshadowing your current predicament that you were indeed expecting. “Guess you were right,” you chuckled, shaking your head slightly.“Technically you were too in a way. Plus it would have happened again eventually,” he teased pulling you close as you blushed.

Jeong Yunho

       You had joined Yunho while he was filming for their latest comeback. Your daughter was currently watching her dad and uncles get ready with hair and makeup. She happily sat on her father’s lap playing with the rings on his fingers. He smiled softly, pushing her hair gently out of her face, enjoying the moment until his parents arrived to pick her up to babysit. That moment would come sooner than later as you came over to take her from his arms much to his disappointment. He pouted softly as he watched you take her outside the sound stage towards the entrance with her car seat and bag in tow. When you returned he couldn’t help but feel the same way he did when he wanted to start a family with you. He couldn’t tell if it was how simple you made motherhood look or that Hyoyeon was growing too fast for him but the idea of expanding your family once more infiltrated his mind. Once you reached him he wrapped his arms around your waist pulling you onto his lap. You couldn’t help but giggle at his sudden neediness as he rubbed circles into your hip with his thumb and nuzzled his head in the crook of your neck not caring about his makeup. 'What's gotten into you?’ you smiled softly, playing with his hair, careful not to mess it up.

“Yeah, I get that the babysitters came to take your kid but can’t you wait till after filming to get busy,” Wooyoung teased only to be smack in the back of the head by Seonghwa, “What was that for?”

“Let them be,” Seonghwa said before going back to his seat.

       Yunho would occasionally press kisses against your jaw and neck before pulling away his eyes dark. “What if we try for baby number 2?” Yunho whispered so that the 2 of you could hear as he played with your fingers. You couldn’t help but smile at the thought.

“What if I already am?” you teased.

“Are you serious?!” he ecstatically jumped from his seat holding onto you.

“Why do you think Hyo has been so clingy lately?” you raised a brow.

       Yunho couldn’t help the smile that grew on his face but before you could get any farther with your charade you broke character admitting the truth that you weren’t. Although he was slightly upset he was glad to be able to fulfill the proposal he had made just a few minutes earlier. You bit your lip and before you could respond to eagerness someone else spoke up. “She's pregnant,” Jongho said nonchalantly, causing everyone in the room to turn towards you two. Both you and Yunho looked at one another with shocked expressions.

“I thought you said you were joking,” Yunho asked, confused.

“I was,” you responded, “Why do you say that?” you turned towards Jongho.

“You’ve been more tired lately and haven’t been eating much just like my girl did with Minho,” he explained.

“Look at him, the maknae is all grown up,” San teased.

       In order to confirm Jongho’s theory, you two bought a pregnancy test right after shooting, and low and behold the maknae was right.

Kang Yeosang

       You were hanging out with the boys during rehearsals when the manager approached you to help in pranking the boys into thinking you were sick to see how they’d react. Let’s just say it didn’t take much convincing. Before you knew it Eunbyul was with an assistant while they gave you the run down and got you ready for your Oscar-worthy performance. Once ready they waited for the group to come to set. You sat in your seat to the side with Eunbyul in her stroller next to you. At first, the boys started their shoot until you got up once you got your cue scurrying to the back of the room. The boys watched with concern, with Yeo being the most worried. Immediately without a second thought, they called a quick pause as Yeosang followed after you with Wooyoung who went to snoop around. When they approached you they found you leaning against the wall taking deep breaths through your nose. Quickly they decided to take you towards the bathroom noting your pale complexion. Halfway there you shook your head telling them to stop. Unfortunately for Wooyoung, he persisted which caused him to be the victim of the fake vomit in your mouth as you released it, some of it falling into his hands causing him to freeze in shock. You were quick to apologize genuinely feeling bad after watching him pull both his lips inwards closing his eyes as he tried to ignore the concoction in his hands. “It’s okay,” he managed to get out before making his way to the restroom with it to dump it and wash his hands. Yeosang was quick to take you to the restroom and help you clean up before going to clean up the mess on the floor with Seonghwa as he sent Mingi to get you some water and some crackers.

       Once done he met up with you to check in and see how you were feeling. You assured him you were fine now that you had just been feeling a bit queasy since the morning. “You don’t think it might be, you know?” he asked.

“I don’t think so,” you respond, “I should be fine for now though. I appreciate you guys stopping for me though I’m sorry if I wasted any time,” she admitted.

“No, you’re fine you know you’re basically family now ok. It’s never time wasted.,” he slightly scolded.

       You nodded before returning to the boys and Eunbyul who was currently playing with Yunho. After assuring you were fine the manager and assistant came out clapping much to the boys’ confusion before revealing that it had been a prank. Most of them laughed it off minus Wooyoung who was still traumatized from cleaning the fake vomit off his hands. “That’s what you get for being nosy,” Hongjoong joked as the others laughed. After they continued with their day it wouldn’t be until their Music Bank when fiction turned into reality. When the boys returned from their set they were shocked to find you missing from the dressing room. The manager revealed that you had gone out in need of fresh air and hadn’t come back yet assuming you had gone to one of the nearby convenience stores. When you returned Yeosang was relieved to find you both safe. You explained your sudden uneasiness after lunch along with your suspicion after your sudden sensitive taste and smell. When confused about where you were going with your explanation you held up the recently bought and used positive test. You watched as his eyes grew and his smile widened. “For real this time?” he asked.

“For real this time,” you replied.

Choi San

       The two of you had come back from having dinner with his parents when San brought up the idea of baby number two. As you set Yuri in her crib and set up the baby monitor he couldn’t help but think about what his parents said during dinner about how it’d be nice for Yuri to have a friend to grow up with. As you shut the door to the nursery gently San was quick to pin you against the wall across from it. You couldn’t help but bite your lip as your husband's eagerness began to show. “You know I was thinking about what my parents said earlier and I think I agree. Yuri should have a friend. She’d make a great older sister,” he smiled warmly.

“Good thing she’ll be one soon then,” you returned, causing a confused expression to fall on his face as you pulled away.

“Wait a minute, you never touched the wine tonight,” he responded mostly to himself before you nodded, “Wait are you?”

“Maybe,” you shrugged softly.

“It’s a yes or no woman. Either you have a baby in you already or I will give you another one tonight,” he said.

       You couldn't help but laugh at his need for a solid answer so instead of continuing the ambiguity you confessed only to be thrown over San’s shoulder. Despite the protest that you could walk, San insisted on carrying you. The light peeked through the curtains the next morning but instead of hearing birds chirp San was instead greeted by you battling morning sickness. At first, he had feared it was food poisoning until he remembered you both had eaten the same thing. As he thought of every possible cause they were all for the most part immediately shot down, that was until the light bulb in his brain sparked. “I know you were joking last night but are you sure you’re not pregnant?” he asked.

“I don’t think so but I don’t see what’s wrong with testing,” you admitted.

       A 10-minute run to the convenience and a 5-minute process later you were able to find out your result was positive, San couldn’t help but gleam at the sign of both lines. “I guess your instinct is just that he smirked softly having had a feeling for a bit now.

Song Mingi

       You and Mingi had been on a staycation the past week and although it may have been nice to relax and spend time with Mingi and the twins, you also quickly ran out of things to do having gotten all the fun and major things down first. The boredom had gotten so bad that you and Mingi had started a prank war with each other. As you were planning the perfect plan the twins would not part from you no matter how hard you tried. Almost as if on cue a lightbulb lit in your head as you picked up Chaewon from the floor to get snacks ready with Daewon close behind. As they ate yo9u grabbed the nearly empty mayonnaise container and cleaned it out before filling it with two pudding packets immediately hiding the evidence. This time you would let Mingi’s belief in old superstitions be your weapon.  As the twins ate their snack you began to eat your fake mayonnaise as Mingi walked in, having been looking for you guys after working on some music. He smiled greeting the twins before turning towards you to do the same until he stopped dead in his tracks. “What the heck are you eating babe?” he asked in shock.

“I don't know I kinda just had a craving,” you shrugged.

“Babe, baby, jagi,” he said, getting closer and closer before wrapping his arms around you, “When people get cravings they want chocolate, chips, a burger, pasta, or any normal dish not mayonnaise straight out the jar,” he exclaimed holding your face.

“What it’s good,” You defended before taking another spoonful of pudding.

       You watched as he scanned your face before going to get your daughter. As he tried to pick her up she immediately leaned away from him towards you whining until you took her from him. He tested it with Daewon as well only for him to do the same. The silence before he spoke was thick, almost as if he had been in deep thought. “You’re pregnant again aren’t you,” he said calmly.

“What?!” you acted confusing

“Cravings and the kids are clingy only to you, you’re pregnant,” he repeated.

“Where is this coming from?” you asked in disbelief that it worked.

“My mom says that when your children are clingy to the mother it’s because they can sense that a baby will be joining the family. That and your sudden infatuation with mayo what else would it be?” he explained.

“I’m not pregnant,” you stated nonchalantly.

“Fine, then let’s take a test to prove me wrong,” he shrugged.

       You agreed knowing it’d be negative unfortunately for you, superstition was on your husband’s side making you the loser of this bet and dumbfounded that your prank had backfired on you.

Jung Wooyoung

       The boys were on tour when you came to visit. Let’s just say you weren’t surprised to find out that Wooyoung was behind a lot of the backstage pranks. It only made the boys asking you to prank him back that much funnier. While he was playing with Youngjae you decided to enact your plan. You left, leaving your phone on the table when it rang. Usually, Woo wouldn’t be one to answer but when he saw the caller ID say ‘Doctor’ he answered more out of worry than to snoop. He picked up the phone as the automatic message began to play. You watched as Woo’s jaw dropped when you walked in. He immediately turned around staring at you looking down at your stomach before looking up to make eye contact with you. You watched as he mouthed with wide eyes, “You’re pregnant?” with raised brows. You tilted your head pretending to act clueless as he hung up. “You thought you were pregnant and didn’t tell me,” he whined causing you to stifle a laugh, “Don’t laugh at me this is a serious matter Y/N. Say sike right now if you guys are joking,” he said, noting the others' expressions. By then you couldn’t hold back your laughter any longer being the first to break character before the others.

“I’m sorry but that was just too good,” San said, coming over to pat his friend’s shoulder.

“Wait, I don't trust you guys. We’re taking a test now,” Wooyoung stated, now serious as he was when you went into labor with Youngjae.

“You have a show to put on, we don't have time for that,” you shook your head softly at his impatience.

“No right now one of the crew members can run and grab one at a nearby store because prank or not my gut is telling me we have to do it,” he insisted.

       You gave in to his wishes doing it as soon as their last set ended. All of you waited patiently for the result and despite believing 100% in your mind that it’d end up negative you still felt nervous. Alas, the timer rang and you got up to inspect the pregnancy test only to end up with the same reaction Woo had to your prank. “Ha I was right and you thought I was joking,” Woo said, claiming his victory.

“How did you?” you questioned.

“I had a dream about but I wasn’t gonna bring it up till later just in case you know,” he shrugged wiggling his eyebrows causing you to blush.

Choi Jongho

        You and Jongho were out grocery shopping when you decided to play a prank on him. As you went up and down the aisles you waited until you got near the pharmacy section slowly trailing behind him. As you scanned the shelves you found what you were looking for. You grabbed the box casually tossing it into the cart he was pushing. At first, he hadn’t noticed as he carried on minding his business. It wouldn't be until you two had stopped at the next aisle that he would notice when it was his turn to put something in. You bit your lip as you tried to hold back your laughter as he stopped dead in his tracks and turned your way. He yanked the box out before turning towards you, your face now puzzled as you attempted to hide your emotions. “Babe did you do this?” he asked.

“Do what?”  you asked innocently.

“Are you, you know?” he shrugged, “Pregnant” his voice now in a whisper, eyes wide.

“I didn’t put it in there” you replied normally.

“Then who was it? It wasn’t me,” he slightly panicked.

       You shrugged, eventually breaking character once you saw his eyes about ready to burst out, a complete 180 from the calm and collected maknae you had grown to love so much. You explained your harmless prank to him before watching him turn to look back at the box almost as if contemplating. He looked back and forth between you and the box before narrowing his eyes at you. “You know what we're taking it I don't trust you,” he said before tossing it back in the cart and wrapping his arm around you rushing you both towards check out. You couldn’t help but roll your eyes at his antics. “I'm not pregnant it was a joke,” you explained, convinced he was making you do this out of spite that was until you got home and got the results. “Are you sure you were joking?” he teases as your jaw hung at the sight of the positive pregnancy test.
