Seonghwa takes a deep breath, staring at the building in front of him and feeling his nerves get the best of him, "You can do it Seonghwa, this is for you and Jongho's future. You got this," He whispers, looking back at Jongho who is fast asleep, his pacifier barely in his tiny mouth. Seonghwa smiles, getting out and unbuckling his car seat before locking his car and they both head inside the nursing home.

As soon as they walk in, a lady at the front desk smiles and stands from her chair, "Can I help you?"

"I was wondering if you guys were hiring?" He asks softly, a little shy and slightly adjusts the car seat in his hand.

"I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I can give you an application and we'll call you if we are!" She says kindly, grabbing a packet from her desk with a bunch of others as she hands him that one, "Are you applying for CNA or...?"

"Nurse," he smiles, "I graduated four months ago and I need to find a job before student loans are due."

"Understandable," She giggles, turning back and grabbing the appropriate one, handing it to him, "Here you are hun, fill free to sit on the couch over there and fill it out or you can take it home and bring it back to us!"

He bows, thanking her before going to sit down at the couch they have provided for him. As he begins filling out the application, he gently rocks Jongho's car seat with his foot and the baby stays asleep. He took in the sounds, the sights, and even the smell. This nursing home didn't smell like what he thought. He thought it would smell like antibiotics and shit, but honestly it smells like lemon pledge and bleach. Maybe that's just the reception area.

He was almost done with an application when a nurse wheels out an elderly lady, he smiles at Seonghwa and Seonghwa smiles back before going back to his application. The little old lady makes the nurse stop and points a shakey hand at Jongho's car seat, "Is that your baby?"

Seonghwa looks up, standing and bowing to her before smiling, "Yes, this is my son, Jongho."

"Wheel me closer Martin I want to see this precious little one," She says softly, trying to lean out and see Jongho from her chair.

"Nani I don't know if he-" the nurse starts and Seonghwa chuckles.

"She can see him," He turns the car seat so she can see him better, "I don't mind. When you're that little and that cute you gotta show off your looks."

Nani, the old lady, grins as she smiles a kind smile at the little baby, "Isn't he a doll... I had a grandson this tiny, and now he's thirty with tiny kids of his own. I haven't seen them in four years."

Seonghwa's heart breaks as he unbuckles Jongho's car seat and gently removes him, walking over to her, "Would you like to hold him?"

She looks up surprised, "You'd let me hold him? Most people won't let strangers hold their babies, especially tiny ones like this."

"Absolutely," Seonghwa chuckles, supporting Jongho's head as he lays him in her arms gently. He squirms a little, huffing in his sleep before falling still once more.

She smiles, brushing a soft, wrinkly finger down his cheek, "So precious," her eyes water and tears spill down her cheeks as she studies his features, "Oh, he'll be a heart breaker when he's older mommy."

"Oh trust me, I know," Seonghwa chuckles, "He flirts all the time with his eyes."

Nani raises Jongho's tiny fist to her lips and presses a gentle kiss on it before nodding to Seonghwa, "You can take him back now. I haven't held a baby in so long I miss the feeling."

"We better get you outside so you can enjoy the flowers before they take them away for the winter Nani," The nurse interrupts, waiting until Jongho is in Seonghwa's arms before taking her away.

"It was nice to meet you Nani," Seonghwa smiles, holding Jongho in his arms as he finishes the application and turns it in to the receptionist. After strapping the baby back in the car seat, they're off to meet Hongjoong for lunch after his classes. He had the day off, one of the few rare days he has off to see Seongwha and Jongho and to go out with them.

He pulls in the cafe he was meeting his boyfriend, sending a quick message to let him know where he's at, but before he can send it he sees Hongjoong's car pull up beside him and he smiles at the mother. Seonghwa giggles, getting out and grabbing Jongho only for Hongjoong to take the car seat away and kiss Seonghwa's cheek.

"How was school?" Seonghwa asks, fixing his tshirt that looked like it hasn't been ironed in a week, "Am I going to have to do your laundry for you?"

"I can do my own laundry," Hongjoong chuckles, rolling his eyes a little, "It was stressful, like always."

Seonghwa pouts, "I'm sorry, let's go eat and then we'll go to the park and walk around for a bit?"

They enter the small cafe and order their food, Seonghwa noticing Jongho waking up and whining a little. He is quick to grab his premade bottle of breast milk he pumped earlier today and started feeding the four month old. Hongjoong smiles, "So what did you do today?"

"Well," Seonghwa smiles back shrugging a little, "I applied at the nursing home."

"Oh really?! Which one?" Hongjoong asks excitedly, "That's great babe."

"The one by the hospital called Garden Village I believe?"

"Oh I heard that place was nice, I'm glad you finally did it. I know you were really hoping on getting into the hospital or a small children's doctors office but you'll get there. You kind of have to build up your reputation and work ethic before you can."

Seonghwa smiles a little, catching a hint of smoke smell and wrinkles his nose, "Someone must have smoked before coming in here."

Hongjoong tenses a little before clearing his throat, "I think I'm going to have to get a third job."

Seonghwa frowns at his boyfriend, pouting slightly, "Why? Did something happen?"

"My place is being evicted because I haven't paid rent in two months.... I won't have anywhere to go. All of my money literally goes to tuition and gas to drive to classes and work..." he sighs heavily, rubbing his face with both hands, "That's what I found out before I came here."

"Do you have a place to stay?" Seonghwa frowns, grabbing one of his hands and giving it a gentle squeeze.

Hongjoong shakes his head, sighing once more, "No. My parents won't take me back, not after I came out pansexual and after they walked in on me kissing a guy."

Seonghwa flinches a little but remembered Hongjoong is his boyfriend now. He pats Hongjoong's hand, "Let me talk to my mom. We have a large basement we can turn into a spare bedroom. Or we have her old room since she moved into my dads after they divorced-"

"Wait, your parents had separate rooms?" Hongjoong asks.

"Yeah, ever since my dad found out my mom had an affair and got pregnant with me they separated their bedrooms. They just divorced here recently. But she moved into his room and I was going to turn her room into Jongho's... but it can be yours if she's okay with it."

Hongjoong shakes his head, "I don't want it to be any trouble-"

"Babe," Seonghwa interrupts, "I would much prefer if you stay with us than living on the streets or in your car."

"I don't want to put you and your mom in that position-"

"Stop, you're staying with us. I don't care what my mother says. I'm not allowing you to live without a roof over your head. Tomorrow, we'll go to your place and get all of your things."

"There's not much," Hongjoong snorts, kissing the palm of Seonghwa's hand, "Thank you."
