Work Text:
Sangwoo takes his glasses off rubbing at his eyes; they feel strained from staring at his laptop for hours.
He glances at the time, It's already past 1am. He swears under his breath, not yet finished his work but he promised Gihun he would stop at 12.
Sangwoo runs a hand through his hair leaning back then shuts down his computer. He gets up from his desk stretching as he heads to the door shuffling down the hall as quietly as possible.
Sangwoo hears noise from Saebyeok’s room and knocks gently before entering.
Saebyeok is already in bed wide awake on her phone, her engagement ring flashing on her left hand Sangwoo hasn’t seen her without it since she announced proudly how Jiyeong proposed.
“Go to bed.” Sangwoo whispers at her.
“Soon Appa, I’m on the phone”
“Yah, is that your father? Appa in law HELLO.” Of course it’s Jiyeong he sighs, Saebyeok turns the phone towards him and he smiles awkwardly waving at Jiyeong with both hands.
Jiyeong laughs, waving back with a mischievous grin on her face.
"Don't keep her up much longer, it's late here."
"Of course." Jiyeong agrees, "She was just kissing me goodbye." Jiyeong wiggles her eyebrows suggestively and Saebyeok mutes her frantically putting her phone face down on her comforter glancing at Sangwoo.
Sangwoo raises an eyebrow at her but doesn't comment; some things never change, he thinks fondly "Good night Sae."
"Good night Appa." Saebyeok calls out softly as he closes her door.
He takes a second to lean against her door then leaves as he hears her giggling with Jiyeong.
Cheol and Gaeyong’s room seems quiet but he feels anxious when he doesn’t check in on them, he pushes the door open quietly.
Sangwoo immediately zeroes in on Cheol’s legs hanging off the bed and stifles a laugh, they are getting way too big for bunk beds.
He’ll have to get them new beds soon, perhaps when Saebyeok and Jiyeong move into their newlywed house. He makes a mental note to discuss it with Gihun.
He grabs a hold of Cheol’s legs dodging as he kicks in his sleep and tucks them under his blanket. Sangwoo pulls the sheets up around him, lightly kissing his hair before turning to check on Gayeong.
Who sleeps peacefully in her bed, mouth open and drooling, she looks just like Gihun and Sangwoo can’t help dropping a kiss to her head too before he leaves.
Their bedroom is dark Gihun’s form visible on their bed, Sangwoo can hear him snoring.
He changes quickly then gets in bed behind Gihun who stirs as Sangwoo pulls him into his embrace. “Woo?” He questions, eyes struggling to open.
Sangwoo watches his eyes flutter and kisses him gently “Go back to sleep.”
“What time is it? I waited for you.”
“It’s…” The clock behind Gihun's head reads 1:33am. “It’s 12am.”
Gihun's hand trails up Sangwoo's face bringing him down into another kiss Sangwoo leans into his touch, eyes closing.
Then Gihun pinches his cheek hard “Don’t lie to your elders.” Sangwoo yelps in pain pulling back.
“Alright, I’m sorry.”
Gihun nuzzles into his chest patting his face absentmindedly already halfway to sleep.
Sangwoo stares down at him in wonder cheek hurting but he can't hold back his smile. How did he ever get so lucky 3 kids (and a Jiyeong) in bed with the best man he’s ever known.
“Stop thinking, sleep” Gihun rouses him from his thoughts poking him in the ribs.
Sangwoo closes his eyes content as Gihun starts snoring on his chest.
