immediately after entering the kim residence, seonghwa and san were greeted with loud screams and giggles coming from the living room. san let out a loud and dramatic sigh while rubbing the sides of his head, knowing it will be a very long night.

"i'm not going to lie, they're being a little wild right now. but it's because they just ate pizza. once they actually start the movie they came here for, they should calm down a bit." jongho breathed out, looking a little stressed as he walked out of the door and past the two boys.

"wait, that's it? no further directions?" seonghwa asked, turning to face his friend who already had one leg in his car.

"nope, they're all yours. have fun!" jongho waved goodbye, quickly getting in his car and driving off before the boys can interject again.

"no, fuck this! why is it our job to watch them, huh? why can't he keep his dick in his pants for one night and help his mom out?" san threw his hands in the air before the boys entered the house.

"san, calm down! hongjoong is always calm when i'm with him. i don't think it'll be a problem. anyway, jongho said wooyoung is the problem child and he gets picked up at nine thirty because he has a set bedtime, jongho even said yeosang typically goes home at the same time as wooyoung." seonghwa calmed his friend down and san took a deep breath, making his way into the house.

when the boys heard their babysitters make their way into the living room, all three of them looked up from what they were doing. yeosang stopped what he was doing and ran to the couch, sitting down like a good boy. he did not want to upset the intimidating boys that would be watching him all night. when hongjoong saw seonghwa, he blushed a light shade a pink. he waved at the older boy who waved back with a smile. wooyoung let out a quiet scream after looking at both boys. he didn't know it was possible for a boy to be so beautiful.

"hey joong, hi joong's friends." seonghwa said as he sat down in his usual spot, looking at yeosang on the couch and the other two boys still on the floor. san stood next to the couch, feeling a bit awkward in a room filled with people he didn't really know, "this is my friend, his name is san. he's also going to be staying with us tonight."

"hi san!" hongjoong waved, "as you know, i'm hongjoong. that's yeosang, but he doesn't speak much. and that's wooyoung, he speaks a lot." hongjoong giggled and wooyoung slapped his arm lightly.

"hey hongjoong, hey yeosang, hey wooyoung." san flashed a charming smile, making wooyoung's heart burst.

"you're cute." wooyoung blurted out, immediately covering his mouth. hongjoong, yeosang and seonghwa all bursted out in laughter, and san scratched the back of his head.

"thanks kid." san chuckled, taking a seat next to wooyoung, "i was told to watch you tonight, anyway. maybe we can get to know each other." san flashed his charming smile once again, making wooyoung choke on his own saliva.

"so hongjoong, what did you guys plan on watching tonight?" seonghwa asked, wanting to start up a conversation.

"we're gonna watch the little mermaid!" hongjoong exclaimed, "and see, we all brought our plushies to match the movie! i have sebastian, wooyoung has ariel, and yeosang has flounder!" hongjoong pointed at the toys spread out on the ground with a smile.

"they're very nice plushies, boys." seonghwa smiled and hongjoong giggled.

"thank you, seongie." hongjoong said.

"you call him seongie?" san asked while laughing, earning a sharp kick in the back from seonghwa, "ow, that hurt!"

"you deserved it." seonghwa shrugged, "anyways, want me to put the movie on now? we can all sit together and watch it."

"yes please!" hongjoong held his hands together, begging the older. seonghwa cooed at how adorable hongjoong looked when begging.

"of course, is it on netflix?" seonghwa asked and hongjoong shook his head no.

"no, but i have a dvd for it." hongjoong pointed to a a cabinet that was filled with old dvd's the family has had for years.

"ok, let me get the tape." seonghwa stood up and walked towards the stack of dvd's, hongjoong following closely behind.

"so wooyoung, is ariel your favorite princess?" san asked while looking the boy up and down.

"well... maybe! um, i love a lot of pr-- i mean, well, is she your favorite? who's your favorite princess? do you like sleeping beauty, maybe snow white or cinderella? i like whatever you like! yeah, i like a lot of princesses... i love princesses! oh wow, i'm rambling a lot. i can't help it, you're so cute! oh, uh... i didn't just call you cute again. oh no, no i did-- i can't help it, you're so cute! oh my god!" wooyoung slapped his hand over his mouth so he would stop speaking, making san laugh loudly.

"you know wooyoung, you're really funny." san snaked his arm around wooyoung's waist, making the boy's breath hitch.

"t-thank you..." wooyoung stuttered out anxiously, giggling a bit at the end.

"i like your laugh too. it's, how would you call it... adorable." san smirked, poking the younger's cheek as the blush grew darker and darker on his face.

"you're adorable." wooyoung spoke and once again covered his mouth, embarrassed from how anxious he was getting.

san just laughed once again and stood up, guiding wooyoung to the couch so they'd have a more comfortable seat to watch the movie. wooyoung sat next to yeosang, looking at his friend like he was going to throw up. yeosang just laughed at wooyoung, knowing how anxious he gets around cute guys.

once hongjoong and seonghwa found the movie they wanted, seonghwa placed it in the dvd player.

"would you guys want popcorn? i can go make some for us if you'd like." seonghwa asked the group.

"yes yes yes!!" wooyoung cheered loudly while clapping his hands and yeosang nodded his head in agreement.

"do you want some too, hongjoong?" seonghwa asked and hongjoong gave a thumbs up.

"ok, i'll go make two bags. hongjoong, can you come with me?" seonghwa waved hongjoong towards the kitchen and they made their way to the cabinet of snacks.

hongjoong opened the cabinet door and took out two bags of popcorn while seonghwa took out scissors to cut the bags out of the plastic.

"so, i see wooyoung is growing a liking to san." seonghwa chuckled, remembering when wooyoung blurted out 'cute' when seeing san for the first time.

"yeah i can definitely see that." hongjoong giggled and seonghwa pulled on the boys cheek.

"i love when you giggle, did you know that?" he asked the smaller boy who began blushing.

"i-i didn't know that..." hongjoong mumbled, his heart doing flips in his chest.

"well, now you know." seonghwa smiled at the boy before placing the first bag into the microwave.

he wasn't really sure why he was slightly flirting with the younger, but it felt natural. seonghwa felt like he was supposed to be doing it.

but i don't like him, right? there's no way...

"it's done!" hongjoong cheered, shaking seonghwa out of his taunting thoughts. he removed the bag and placed in the second one as hongjoong grabbed two big bowls to hold the popcorn.

seonghwa opened the microwave popcorn and dumped it into the bowl, still confused with his thoughts a few seconds prior.

after the second bag finished and seonghwa put it into the bowl, he carried both bowls into the living room while hongjoong skipped in front of him. he handed one bowl to san for him, wooyoung, and yeosang to share while he kept one for himself and hongjoong to share.

"everyone has their plushies, right?" hongjoong asked and the other two boys nodded, lifting their toys into the air to show them off.

seonghwa walked to the dvd player and pressed play, sitting back down in his usual seat as the introduction started playing loudly throughout the room.

"i'm cold, can we share a blanket?" hongjoong asked the older who smiled back.

"yeah, that's fine." seonghwa nodded his head and hongjoong turned to the side to pick up the big fluffy blanket he always hides under, draping it along him and seonghwa's bodies.

seonghwa felt like he had to say yes, but was dying on the inside. with all the thoughts he was having, he knew being under a blanket with the younger was the last thing he should be doing...

seonghwa sat in his seat, extremely confused. he didn't know why he was having such weird thoughts about hongjoong, but he knew he needed to stop them immediately.
