"Did you really just cancel your meetings for this?" Jeno quirks an eyebrow in amusement.

Jaemin adjusts his seatbelt as he starts the car, "so what if I did?" He replies, a silly smile etching on his face.

"You're too much," his lover chuckles whilst shaking his head at him. He then turns his head over his shoulder to check on Jisung.

The little boy was all safely buckled up on his seat, his toy dinosaur right beside him while he focuses on the Jaemin's old tablet he begged to borrow.

Now, before giving the tablet to the little boy, Jaemin had thankfully asked Jeno beforehand and made sure to delete everything unnecessary for their son.

So the device is Jeno-approved for Jisung. Thus, he's watching and listening to some appropriate cartoons as well as educational videos.

However, he's not allowed to use it all the time. Only when Jeno says so or his parents are around. So, if he's looking for the tablet, it's right on Jeno's hands.

Because till this day, Jeno's guts are still telling him that Jaemin would do something he'll obviously get in trouble for if he keeps the tablet.

"Papa, I want that one!" Jisung points to a box-typed stroller bag on display.

Jeno glances at where he was pointing at and shakes his head in disapproval, "for the fifth time, baby, we're buying necessary things for you, okay?" He gently said.

He slightly bends over to caress Jisung's cheek, "we'll buy that when you really need it, but for now you don't. You're still in kindergarten and barely have things to carry."

"Is that okay with you, Sungie? Does Sungie understand what Papa is trying to say?" He tilts his head to the side.

His son purses his lips before smiling again, he nods at Jeno's question and grabs the hand caressing his cheek. "I understand papa! Maybe next time." He said.

Jeno smiles back, feeling relieved that he didn't have to deal with Jisung throwing a tantrum because he can't have something he wants.

"That's very good, baby," he gently squeezes Jisung's small hand in his. "Now, why don't we look for some crayons next?" Changing the topic with a knowing smile on his face.

"Can I have the one with twelve colors, papa?" Jisung shyly asks, fiddling with his fingers as he slightly looks down.

"Oh? Why's that, baby?" Jeno curiously asks him as they began to walk around the place.

"I just like the pretty colors, I wanna have all the pretty colors!" Jisung said enthusiastically.

Jeno lets out a delightful laugh, ruffling Jisung's hair as he grabs his hand again. "You'll have them all soon when you grow up, baby." He encourages Jisung's goal.

The little boy cheers and bounces on his feet before spotting his daddy who was in charged with the shopping cart– a slightly bored look on his face.

"Daddy!" Jisung calls and runs up to the said man, giggling loudly when he was immediately picked up.

Jaemin puts him on his shoulders, laughing at how his son starts tugging on his hair like on ''Ratatouille''.

"Be careful, Sungie. You don't want to hurt daddy, do you?" Jeno said with a small pout as he walks over to them.

Jisung immediately stops and mumbles a string of apologies to his daddy, wrapping his arms around his neck and hugs him tightly.

"Sorry!"

Jaemin laughs again and shakes his head, "your papa is exaggerating," he comments in a fake whisper.

Jeno rolls his eyes and lightly smacks him on the arm, "I'm just saying, go easy on the old man." He quips as he takes a hold of the shopping cart this time since Jaemin is preoccupied with Jisung on his shoulders.

He then feels a discreet tap on his butt, gasping at the familiar hand as he feels Jaemin's hot breath fanning his neck.

"What did you say, baby boy?"

Gulping, Jeno swats him away and clears his throat. "I– uhm, let's go find those crayons, Jisungie!" His voice cracking up while Jisung was cheering loudly again.

He then quickens his pace, gripping onto the shopping cart tightly as he leaves his husband behind.

Said husband had a silly smirk on his face, not moving an inch and instead watches his lover walk away in embarrassment.

Noticing how his papa is already far ahead while they remained still on the exact same spot, Jisung whines and forgets his promise earlier.

He tugs at Jaemin's hair again, harder this time, "daddy! Don't just stand there, papa will be alone!" He whines at him.

Jaemin hisses in pain but then shakes it off once Jisung points out that Jeno will indeed be alone.

Without needing to be told twice, he quickly starts walking trying to find his lover.

"Are you satisfied with everything we bought, Sungie?" Jeno asks his son.

Him and Jisung are currently sitting criss cross applesauce on the living room floor, in their comfy cotton pajamas.

They had decided to arrange Jisung's backpack along with his school supplies tonight and check everything out, just in case they forgot something or one of the items are not working properly.

Also because Jisung kept whining and begging for them to prepare his backpack due to how excited he was.

Jaemin was in the bedroom, handling with the usual business things especially since he was out the whole day.

He had excused himself earlier after dinner, apologizing that he couldn't join them in the living room because he'll be asking Sungchan and Karina for some updates.

Humming, Jisung nods happily as he scans the items on the floor, "yes, papa!" He answers. "Thank you for this, and tell daddy I say "thank you", too!"

Jeno giggles, nodding back at him, "I will, don't worry," he reassures before continuing to arrange Jisung's backpack with his school supplies in it.

Soon after that, Jaemin heads out the bedroom to get himself a glass of water, rubbing his eyes with his glasses crooked.

He runs a hand through his hair while fixing his T-shirt, pausing when he hears Jeno and Jisung talking.

He decides to get water later and checks up on his wife and son first, halting just at the entrance to see Jeno seemingly teaching Jisung some things.

His lover glances at him and blushes when he saw Jaemin's gaze, "alright, time for bed, baby." Jeno mumbles right as Jisung lets out a yawn.

He picks the little boy up and held a hand at Jaemin, signaling him to wait for a moment. After he tucks Jisung to bed, he was immediately engulfed in a hug.

"What were you teaching him?" Jaemin asks, mumbling against Jeno's neck.

"I was just telling him how to behave in school. And that whatever he's feeling, he can tell his teacher." Jeno replies.

Humming, Jaemin lightly pats his butt again and chuckles when Jeno grunts and bites his earlobe. "Feisty."

"Shut up and get your glass of water, I'm really tired." The younger boy hisses but Jaemin can see the blush on his cheeks.
