Work Text:
"Wake up, sweetheart." Jihyo gently shook Jimo who was sleeping comfortably in his bed, "It's time for school."
Jimo groaned and turned over, his face now in the pillow.
"Do I have to go?" he asked in a muffled voice.
"Yes, yes you do." Jihyo chuckled.
"But mommy... I don't wanna go.." he whined.
"Why not? Aren't you excited to see your friends?" Jihyo asked him, and he nodded.
"Yes, but.." he hesitated.
"But what? Is everything okay?" Jihyo kneeled by the bed.
"I'm tired. All the work is piling up and it's getting overwhelming." he muttered into the pillow and Jihyo thought for a moment.
"Alright, how about you stay at home today, considering the fact that it's Friday. You can use this weekend to recharge yourself, and by Monday if you're still not feeling up to it, your mother and I will let you stay home again, okay?" she told him, and he nodded.
"Can I go back to sleep?" he questioned and Jihyo hummed.
She kissed him on the forehead and stood up, "I love you, Jimo. Sleep well."
"Love you too, mommy."
He woke up around three hours later, the sun was up, and it was around 9 AM. Jimo sat up from his bed and stretched, he looked around his room. He realized how it was more organized than before and concluded it to his parents coming in and cleaning it up a bit. He got up, opened the curtains and pulled up the window to get some fresh air. Jimo then went into the bathroom and got his toothbrush, starting to do his morning routine. He finished around fifteen minutes and made his way to the kitchen where his other mother, Momo was leaning on the countertop while looking at papers.
She heard movement which caused her to look up from those papers (which turned out to be bills) and noticed Jimo.
"Good morning, pumpkin. Mommy went to work, so it's just us in the house. Do you want anything to eat?" she asked him.
"Morning, mom.." Jimo thought for a moment, "Can I have pancakes?"
Momo nodded and opened the freezer, pulling out some frozen pancakes. She opened the packet and put the pancakes in the toaster oven to heat up. Jimo went to sit at the kitchen island as Momo placed down the papers, grabbing a pen and signing off on a few things.
"What do you wanna do today?" she asks him.
"I dunno.. maybe just.. nothing." he replies.
"Sounds like a great plan, I love doing nothing."
Jimo giggled at his mom's response and focused his eyes on the flowers inside of the vase. He started to zone out for a little bit, thinking of all the things that his mother's have done for him. He felt himself smiling at each and every memory and just loved how much his parents understood him. There have been many times that he didn't want to do anything, and instead of pushing him or nagging at him, they always let him take time to redeem himself. And today was a perfect example.
"Jiji, you've been zoned out for a while now," Momo called out to him, "The pancakes finished heating up five minutes ago."
Jimo adverted his attention to his mother, then to the plate that was infront of him.
"Ah sorry, thanks mom." he smiled at her.
"It's no problem, bud." she says, "Wanna tell me what you were thinking about?"
"It's nothing important." he replies, and Momo nods.
"If you say so. I'll be in the living room if you need me." she tells him.
"Okay!"
After Jimo ate his breakfast, he had officially started his day. He didn't do too much. He played outside with their pets and spent a lot of time doing the activities that he enjoyed most. He was in the living room watching television with Momo at around 7 PM when the door opened and Jihyo walked in. Jimo immediately jumped up and ran towards the door.
"Mommy!!" he hugged her, gaining a hug back.
Momo followed and pecked Jihyo on the lips, Jimo turning away with a fake gag causing the two to laugh. Jihyo joined the two on the couch and watched the random cartoon that was on. Jimo caught their attention when he sighed.
"Everything okay?" the two asked in unison.
"Mhm," Jimo hummed, "I just wanted to thank you."
"There's no need to thank us, baby." Jihyo smiled at him.
"No, I mean, thank you for understanding me.. and not forcing me to do certain things. I'm so lucky to have you both as my moms."
"We're lucky to have you," Momo stated, "We love you, Jimo."
"I love you both, too." Jimo hugged them tightly.
