"jjong, you're still the baby. mama and papa are just meeting the baby" san tried explaining to his crying brother

seeing jongho cry was always sad but adorable. in a good way? his big puppy eyes filled with tears, his little button nose scrunched up. his bottom lip wobbling. jongho usually isn't loud when crying. only when he gets hurt really bad or if he's just in a really bad mood that day. so in incidents like right now, he lets out little quiet sobs and sniffles.

"bu' mama don' hold jjong like 'at" jongho sobbed, still being held in yeji's arms

"it's cause you're not that little jongho. only little babies get held like that." lia said

"mama does hold you like that! when he carries you to bed" mingi defended

"and when you're sicky" san reminded

"or w-what about wh-when y-yo-you f-f-f-fall?" yeosang helped out his brothers

"jjong, mama loves you. just cause he's holding yuna doesn't mean anything" yunho picked up jongho, which was something hongjoong loved. the older boys always carried jongho, even though he's getting a little too big at this point.

"i hold you bub"

"why is everyone crying today?" mingi huffed

"who's crying?" chan said as he popped up out of nowhere. him and the two o older bang brothers do that a lot.

"jjong thinks hims mama doesn't love him because he's holding yuna" lia pouted to chan

"are you okay now jjong?" chan said as he took the youngest from yunho

"i wan' mama" jongho huffed

chan smiled and excused himself and jongho.

"what's going on?" seonghwa asked

"he thinks you don't love him because you were holding yuna" chan laughed

"ahh. jjongi. you know i always love my baby" seonghwa said as he took jongho and gave him a bunch of kisses

"hey chan, can you go check on the other kids?" hongjoong asked

chan smiled and nodded before going over to the whack-a-mole machine where the kids were watching ryujin trying to hit san.

"ryu, what're you doing, girl?" chan laughed

"birthday hits." she said nonchalantly

"that's not how that works!" san argued

"shush"

"okay let's not beat each other please where yeosang?"

"h-here" yeosangs voice came from behind mingi and yunho

"why are you sitting on the floor" chan sighed

"ti-ti-t-tired"
