Dango is now 22 weeks. The baby bump is getting more obvious than before. A few weeks ago, Minho told Yongbok that Dango can hear and respond to them now. So, ever since then, the little girl wants to play with her little sibling whenever she gets a chance. When Seungmin manages to come home after shift, he joins Yongbok interacting with the tummy as if they play with Dango together.
"I think....Dango will kick here!" Yongbok chooses a spot on the baby bump, a little towards the top right, covering that spot with her whole little palm.
"Ooh, that's a very good choice. Then, Papa will choose...here," Seungmin reacts, and proceeds to choose the exact opposite spot from Yongbok, a bit left and in the bottom part of the belly.
"Okay, Dango! Bokkie has chosen a spot, Papa has chosen a spot! You can come out now!" The little girl says while leaning so close to the tummy, and she purposely blows a raspberry on Minho, making the mother burst out laughing.
The blow makes the baby active, Minho holds her laugh right away when she feels Dango moves, while the father and daughter just wait patiently with their hand on the belly.
A second later, Dango kicks on the spot that Yongbok chose. Yongbok gasps sharply.
"Yeay!! Dango chose me, Dango chose me! I win, I win, I win!" She cheers so happily, and to celebrate, she jumps on her father's embrace. Seungmin instantly gives her a snuggle, tickling her in between to make her giggle so brightly.
"Wow, Dango really loves you, sweetheart" Minho says, grinning from ear to ear at the sight of her happy daughter. The little girl moves from her father's hug and sits closer to her mother again, leaning towards the baby bump.
"And I love you so much so much so much, Dango! Mwah mwah mwah!" She proceeds with peppering kisses all over the bare tummy, making Minho chuckle again and watches her with heart eyes.
"Alright, now go brush your teeth with Papa and choose a storybook to read. We need to sleep early tonight because you need to go to school tomorrow" the mother says softly while she pulls her t-shirt down again, covering the belly. Yongbok brightly replies with an 'okay!', then gets off the bed to go to the bathroom in her parents' bedroom.
Minho is fixing her position on the bed, leaning closer towards the headboard because she starts to feel her back hurt. She notices Seungmin gets off from the bed as well, which she doesn't pay much attention to, but suddenly she feels his hand hold her chin softly. She looks up by instinct, and the next thing she knows, Seungmin gives her a kiss on the forehead.
"Eughh, what was that for?!" Minho pretends to puke and sends him a glare, totally hoping the blush on her ears and cheeks won't give her true reaction away. Seungmin just smiles, answers nothing and leaves for the bathroom. Minho watches as he leaves, then she scoffs in disbelief, fails to hide her smile.
"He must've lost his mind" she mumbles, shaking her head.
- The End -
Yongbok is leaning on her mother, and she is holding a storybook in her hand. Minho leans her head on top of the little girl's head so she can see the pages as well. Yongbok flips to the next sheet, and continues reading the bedtime story.
"Again, the vill...vi-" Yongbok tries to read the word but she is still not familiar with it. Minho helps her read right away.
"Villagers"
"Villigagers" she repeats, making her mother chuckles softly. She doesn't question it, just read the sentence all over again.
"Again, the vi- villigagers rushed up the hill to save the sheep. When they arrived, they only saw the sh- shi..."
"Shepherd boy"
"..Chef boy. When they arrived, they only saw the chef boy laughing at them" she stops telling the story right there, and her mother and she look at the father, who is sitting closer to the baby bump. On top of the tummy, there are already a few little sheep. In Seungmin's left hand, he holds three little wooden toys that look like a person and he makes them 'climb' the tummy hill.
"Hah... Hah... Where is the wolf, shepherd boy?" Seungmin asks while pretending to have heavy breathes from running up the hill, and he makes a deeper voice. His right hand is holding only one wooden man, and he moves it around to make it look like he is laughing.
"Aahahahaha! I tricked you again!" He says this time with higher voice, dubbing the shepherd boy's character and adds more laughter after the statement. Right after he finishes laughing, he sighs loudly with deep voice while moving his left hand.
"You must not tell lies!" Seungmin scolds with the villagers' voice, then leaves the tummy hill. By that time, Minho already flips the page in the storybook so Yongbok knows where she needs to continue reading right away. The little girl looks back at the book, and her mother points out the part she needs to read.
"Later that day, a huge wolf really did- COME!" Suddenly Yongbok shrieks in surprise, when Dango actually moves and the sheep starts to fall off the tummy. The three of them watches as the sheep fall to the bed, one after another, and Seungmin cannot help but laugh at the comical timing. Minho looks at Yongbok to see her reaction, and her freezes right there with mouth open in disbelief, too adorably silly that Minho has to laugh as well. Only after that, Yongbok laughs and gets away from her mother's hand.
"Dango, are you the underground wolf? You make all the sheep tumble off the hill!" She nags, sounding so excited but instead of putting the sheep back on the tummy, she puts her head on it, trying to listen to her baby sibling.
"Is it fun? Bokkie, Mama and Papa are telling you the story and you want to join as well because it is fun, isn't it? Oh oh, Mama, Dango said yes! Dango moved just now, Dango said yes!" The little girl excitedly speaks up, one sentence after another while her parents chuckle at her shenanigans. Seungmin decides to put the toys aside while Minho puts the book on the lamp table, clean up the space so Yongbok can move around safely while talking to her baby sibling.
