"okay, sannie, eat. youngie, stop stealing mins food. yunho sweetie thank you for helping, but jongho can feed himself, eat please. minnie, don't slap wooyoung. yeosang baby you have to eat more than just your fruit." seonghwa kept lecturing.

they've been sitting here for ten minutes, he's taken approximately two bites of his own food. too focused on if the kids were eating their own. but as if god himself sent seonghwa a gift, his husband finally walked downstairs.

"finally" the oldest mumbled

"sorry love" hongjoong whispered. he kissed his husbands temple before sitting between him and mingi.

"hi papa, you wan' my fruit?" mingi asked smiling brightly

"no baby, you gotta eat your own fruit, hm?" hongjoong said, picking up his sons fork and stabbing it into a cut up strawberry. "say ahhh". mingi did as he was told an let his dad put the fruit into his mouth.

"good boy min" hongjoong said, patting mingis soft hair

they always praised their sons for things like eating. they wanted them to know it's good to eat.

"papa!" jongho squealed, suddenly noticing his fathers presence

"hey jjongie, are the waffles good baby?" hongjoong laughed looking at his youngest. he had waffled crumbs and syrup all around his mouth. the boy giggled along with his dad.

hongjoong looked over at seonghwa, who was wiping yeosangs face. then he looked at the olders plate

"babe" hongjoong called out

seonghwa stopped what he was doing and faced his husband. he was greeted with a piece of waffle on a fork. he rolled his eyes playfully before excepting the food.

"don't worry about them being messy, you need to eat. i'll clean them up after okay?" hongjoong whispered. "especially you, messy" he said louder, turning his gaze to yeosang. yeosang giggled at his dad and continued eating his waffle.

the adults began eating. occasionally helping their kids with simple things like more juice, or more syrup.

"gi, you've had three glasses of orange juice, baby. why don't you have some water?" seonghwa responded to mingi plea for orange juice

"mommy, please. i want juicey" mingi said, not giving his mama puppy eyes. no can resist those eyes. that includes seonghwa, who sighed and reached for the orange juice. mingi clapped as he watched the juice being poured into his cup.

"mingi, say thank you" yunho stated as he saw his brother gulp the juice

"fank you" mingi gasped out before returning his mouth back to the cup.

"slow d-down..." yeosang mumbled. not even a second after, mingi started choking. "t-told you"

hongjoong patted the boys back, know that it wasn't too serious and he would only be coughing for a little bit. seonghwa looked like he was panicking

"minmin are you okay?" seonghwa asked frankly. mingi nodded while still coughing.

"don't worry, he just drank too fast" hongjoong said continuing to rub mingis back. "take a drink of my water, gi"
