Who needs an alarm when you've got three energetic 2 year olds. "Have kids" they said, "it'll bE fUn" they said.

Anygays, the three enegetic kids i was talking about? oh yeah they're currently playing with their toys at 6:34am giggling loudly at each other.

I groaned, wanting to go back to sleep.

now i know you guys are asking "hongjoong, why do you have so many children?" well you see i got attacted, i cant let them go, i love them, theyre annoying little brats, but theyre my annoying little brats.

Luckily for me, today is the day i start my first day at work, my neighbor woojin had agreed to look after my little pieces of poop for me.

"boys come here" they looked over at me, Yunho, the oldest, giggled laudly before hopping over towards me. Wait a minute-

"mingi did you tape your brother's legs together?" mingi's eyes widen and hid the tape roll behind him

"nwo dwaddy"

i squinted my eyes at him before looking at my other son.

"San-" dont get me started on this boy, he had colored his leg with, luckily, washable marker.

I picked san up and walked to the bathroom after removing the tape from yunho's body and hiding the tape roll in a high place.

San squirmed in my arms hating the idea of having to bathe.

"NWOOOOOOO"

"sannie, i need to leave in about an hour for work, and i need you to be clean for uncle woojin" he kept struggling in my arms, still not wanting to take a bath.

I had finally gotten him to finish his bath and dressing him.

The moment i finished he ran off to his room to grab shiber from his bed and run to the door excited to put on his light up sketchers, he stomped his foot on the floor to show his brothers how they worked.

I helped Yunho, Mingi, and San to buckle the straps on their shoes.

grabbing my stuff we headed over to woojin's house.

sᴇᴏɴɢʜᴡᴀ's ᴘᴏᴠ.

i sniffled as i was dropping off my sons with my parents.

"Seonghwa, sweetie, we'll take perfectly good care of them, remember, we raised you" my mom tried take Yeosang out of my arms.

"but what if something happens to yeo-"

"dwaddy yeo-yeo wiw bwe otay" wooyoung said wanting to play with his older brother.

"he's right, and if anything happens we'll be sure to call you." my father said, finally taking yeosang out of my arms by surprise.

He put Yeosang down who ran over to wooyoung.

Now you maybe wondering, "why wont you let the poor boy go?" well you see, my poor baby boy, has asthma and he still cant speak.

I felt a tug on my pants and looked down to see my youngest, Jongho.

He looked at me with a smile and then suddenly waved, most likely telling me to leave.

Frowning, i gave them all a kiss before finally leaving for work.

"Bye babies, I love you"

"Mhm"

These little-

ʜᴏɴɢᴊᴏᴏɴɢ's ᴘᴏᴠ.

I started to get stiff the closer i got to the building.

To say that im nervous is an understatment, im terrified.

I stepped in and walked over to the desk lady, "hi I'm Kim Hongjoong and-"

"Ah yes the new producer" she smiled and gave me my company id before pointing me in the direction of the ceo's office.

I walked down the long hall and knocked.

A simple "come in" was heard from the other side of the door.

I opened the door slowly and walked in, gathering all my courage.

"Hello, I am, Kim Hongjoong"

The CEO smiled and pointed to a chair signing for me to take a seat.

I sat down.

He told me basic rules on the do's and don'ts that all employees are requiered to follow.

I nod along memorizing all of it.

"Any questions?"

"Ah yes. I'm a single father with three 2 year olds, is it alright if I bring them to work every now and then?" I asked internally hoping that I wouldn't get in trouble for asking.

He smiled and nodded. "Of course, you may" he stood up and I followed.

"I'll show you to you're studio, I also recommend you check out the café across the street"

I smiled and thanked him when we arrived to my new studio, it was plain and small, but I can make it work.

I sat down on the office chair infront of a desk and opened up my laptop.

As of right now I can do whatever I wanted until 12 pm before actually starting on a project.

I looked for some supplies I could add in my studio, like lights.

I stood up and walked towards the exist, I wanted to see why everyone liked it so much.

As I opened the door I was greeted with the smell of coffee and the atmosphere feeling like you just walked into your dream house.

I walked to the counter and looked up at the different pastries and drinks written on the menu.

"Hello what may I help you with?" A very handsome man asked.

"Oh um... Just a medium sized iced coffee would be nice" I replied awkwardly.

"Here or to go? Name?"

"To go. Hongjoong" he nodded and wrote down my name on a cup, while I blushed at the handsome man.

"That'll be 8.99"

I paid him with the exact amount and walked towards a table, waiting for my drink.

🍓

A couple of minutes have passed and my name was finally called. I walked over to the man who help my cup out for me,grabbing it I turned around with a small "thank you" until I felt a tap on my shoulder

The man rubbed his neck as I turned around, "here" he said handing me a piece of paper and walking away.

I stood their confused for a moment and looked at the paper, which happened to be a note.
