even though he went to bed rather late the night before, hongjoong woke up bright and early sunday morning. he couldn't help it, he was too excited to spend the whole day with one of his favorite people in the world, his brother.

when he checked his phone, hongjoong realized it was only eight thirty.

no way jongho will be awake this early, the boy thought to himself with a pout.

hongjoong sat up in his bed, thinking of ways to pass the time before jongho would wake up. suddenly, a lightbulb went off in the small boy's head.

he quickly jumped out of bed, rushing to the bathroom to brush his teeth and start his day. after finishing his morning routine, hongjoong ran downstairs into the kitchen.

he knew there wasn't much he could really make his brother since he couldn't use knives or the stove, so he began to think of what to make his brother for breakfast.

he looked around the counter, eyeing all the food that was already prepared. he smiled, noticing his mom bought cookies, granola bars, and cereal for the boys to eat while she was gone.

hongjoong then checked the fridge and squealed when he noticed the container of fresh strawberries his mom bought him. he quickly took them out and grabbed two plates and two bowls for both him and jongho.

hongjoong then began preparing breakfast for him and his brother. he opened the box of cookies, putting four on jongho's plate and two onto his own. he then opened one granola bar for each of them, placing it right next to the stack of cookies. for the last treat on the plate, he put three strawberries on his brother's plate and six for himself.

hongjoong then poured cinnamon toast crunch into both bowls. after putting the cereal in, the boy realized he needed milk. he didn't typically pour his own drinks, so hongjoong was a bit nervous to fill the bowls. he pushed his worries to the side, wanting to impress his brother with his newly acquired skill.

hongjoong took out the white liquid and began pouring the milk into the cereal bowls, not spilling anything on the counter or floor. he smiled widely, extremely proud of his small achievement.

the small boy was on a roll. everything was going perfect, and he didn't want to stop. he realized he still needed drinks, so he ran towards the cabinet to grab two cups.

once he placed the cups down, he picked up the carton of milk once again. being a little careless this time around, hongjoong began pouring his first glass.

as hongjoong was pouring, he completely forgot that he eventually needed to stop before the cup could overflow. before he knew it, there was milk flowing over the top of the cup.

"oh my god, jongie is gonna kill me!" hongjoong quietly shouted, running towards the paper towels.

thankfully, the mess was minor. it only took two small paper towels to clean up. once the boy finished wiping the counter and floor down, he let out a big sigh and wiped the imaginary sweat off his forehead and began filling the second cup extremely carefully.

for the final touch, hongjoong squirted some whipped cream onto both plates. after putting all his materials into the fridge, hongjoong smiled at his masterpiece.

"it's beautiful!" hongjoong cheered to himself, clapping his hands vigorously.

after checking his phone, hongjoong noticed it was already a little after nine. he then began taking the food into his room, moving slowly so he wouldn't spill anything.

once all the food was upstairs, hongjoong began changing. he opened his closet, contemplating which dress to put on for their promised tea party.

after looking through all of his potential options, hongjoong decided on his favorite light blue costume. he loved this dress very much. every time hongjoong wore it, he said he felt like cinderella.

after putting it on and twirling around a bit, he checked the time once again. he realized it was now nine forty five, and if he didn't wake up jongho soon, their cereal would get too soggy to eat.

the young boy ran towards the older's room, thrilled for their tea party that consisted of drinking milk rather than tea.

"hyung, jongie, jongho! wake up!" the boy began poking his brother at turbo speed, making jongho turn over and huff.

aftering rolling over, jongho realized his brother might be waking him up suddenly because there was something wrong.

"what is it, joongie? are you ok? did you fall and hurt yourself?" he spoke quickly after sitting up, shooting his eyes open to inspect the younger.

"no silly!" hongjoong put his hands to his mouth and giggled, "i just have a big surprise for you and i can't wait any longer!"

"ugh, ok. you scared me, don't do that again." jongho said as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

"i'm sorry, but hurry up! a princess doesn't like waiting for her prince!" hongjoong ran out of the room and left jongho to chuckle by himself, dragging his sleepy body out of bed and into the bathroom.

before jongho came to hongjoong's room, he set up a few chairs for his stuffed animals to sit in. he set up plastic plates and cups for the plushies, putting fake food on the plates and hanging out toy silverware.

after a few minutes of impatiently waiting for his brother, jongho knocked on the door. hongjoong shot up, running to grab jongho's prince jacket.

"hello, your highness." jongho bowed to his younger brother.

"hello, prince jongie." hongjoong curtsied, telling jongho to turn around so he could put on his jacket for him.

"so, what's your surprise?" jongho asked, still not in hongjoong's room.

"come on in, but close your eyes." hongjoong put his hands over jongho's eyes, making sure he didn't look. "no peaking!"

as hongjoong sat jongho down, he took his hand off his eyes. "tada! you can open!"

when jongho opened his eyes, he put on the biggest smile he's worn in months. he was amazed with the sight in front of him, extremely proud of his brother's accomplishment.

"hongjoong, did you make breakfast all by yourself?" he asked his brother.

"maaaybe..." hongjoong dragged out, swaying back and forth on his feet.

"joongie, you did an incredible job. i'm so proud of you!" jongho stood up, grabbing his brother and wrapping his arms around him in a bone crushing hug.

"thank you, jongie!" he smiled at his older brother, "but if we don't eat soon, our cereal will be all soggy and our strawberries will get warm! so eat up!" hongjoong exclaimed and jongho sat back down, enjoying the adorable breakfast his brother prepared for him.
