three ; exhausted

"please go to sleep eunjae," seungmin said in an exhausted voice. it'd taken nearly two hours to get his twin sons to lay down and now he was struggling to get the younger out of the two to fall asleep.

"no! want daddy!" eunjae screamed while kicking his feet. thank god the two had separate rooms or else eunjae would have most definitely woken his brother by now.

it was beginning to irritate seungmin. he'd cleaned the whole house spotless and managed to keep the two boys under control and occupied as he cleaned the large home. chan, seungmin's loving husband, worked hours upon hours every day to provide their family so that seungmin could stay home with the children. an agreement they'd made when seungmin first found out he was pregnant almost three years ago.

and to add onto the exhaustion seungmin was almost seven months pregnant with their third and final child. chan wanted atleast two more but seungmin immediately disagreed on that number after having the twins. he said he'd give chan three children plus two dogs and the australian was quick to agree, besides chan wasn't the one who'd be having to carry all five children and seungmin's body had already been put through the wringer with the twins.

"please eunjae, i beg of you, go to sleep. daddy has the day off tomorrow which means you'll be able to spend all day with him," seungmin says as he rubbed his temples, trying to fight away the oncoming headache and nausea that was beginning to wash over his system. he'd eaten kimchi, a huge mistake. it was normally one of his favorite foods and he never had a problem eating it when he was pregnant with the twins but clearly baby number three had other plans and always made seungmin sick whenever he ate it.

"you promise?" eunjae responds, finally calming down after his quite dramatic tantrum.

"i promise baby, now please go to sleep for mommy," seungmin pleads and thankfully eunjae gave in. the small curly haired boy laid down against his pillow and closed his eyes, snuggling his dinosaur plush to his chest.

after about ten minutes seungmin stood up once he heard eunjae's snores and quietly exited the room, rubbing his eyes before he made his way down the hall to the kitchen. he still had dinner dishes to clean up and hoped he'd enough time to do them before chan arrived home. seungmin always stressed himself to make sure the cleaning duties were done before chan arrived home. he didn't want chan to have to take care of any of the responsibilities after working hard all day.

"whoever said motherhood was easy can burn in hell," seungmin grumbled as he turned on the water and began washing the dishes.

the male had been so focused on them he hadn't heard his husband come home, not even glancing at the door when it shut or when chan laid his keys on the kitchen table. the older male took this as the perfect opportunity to surprise seungmin and he stepped forward, enveloping the shorter in a gentle back hug while kissing the nape of his neck.

"hi," seungmin greeted him, "how was work?"

"hi," chan smiles. "work was good actually. it looks the album is going to be out earlier than scheduled so i'll get to take next week off if i want to."

"you should," seungmin hums while continuing to wash what was left of the dishes in their sink. "the boys miss you. they'd love it if they got to spend all week with you," he adds, still absorbed into the task of doing the dishes he didn't notice the frown on chan's lips.

"do you miss me?" chan asks.

seungmin shut the water off and leaned back into chan's chest. "of course i miss you," seungmin answers. he missed him so much. "but you're providing for our family and because of that i get to live the life of my dreams."

it was the that chan noticed the tone in his husbands voice. it lacked the normal sarcastic undertone and it worried him. he also noticed the heavy dark circles under seungmin's eyes along with the pale color his skin held. he looked exhausted.

"min, you look exhausted."

"thanks, you look handsome today too," seungmin snapped before a sigh left his lips and he turned around to bury his face into chan's chest. chan gently rubbed seungmin's back and his worry only became stronger once the quiet sound of seungmin's sobs reached his ears.

"seungmin, baby, what's wrong?" chan asks, "why are you crying?"

"because i am exhuasted!" seungmin exclaims. "and i feel like i have no right to be! my responsibilities are easy. all i have to do is clean the house and take care of our children and somehow i still cant manage to do that because the dishes weren't even done by the time you got home! what if its not enough?!"

chan laughed softly. he actually laughed. but he couldn't help it as his husband looked so cute standing there, cheeks puffed out as he cried.

"seungmin. you are doing more than enough. i don't care about coming home to a sink full of dishes or an unswept floor or a living room full of toys. i care about you and our children and making sure you're all taken care of every single day. you, eunjae, mijun, and heeseul are what matter most to me. you don't need to over exhaust yourself honey. you are so perfect even on the days when i come home to a mess," chan spoke, leaning in to press kisses against seungmin's lips between words once he'd lifted his head to look up at him.

"you promise?" seungmin sniffles, wiping his eyes.

"i promise baby," chan assures him before pressing one last kiss to his lips. "now lets get you into a warm bath yeah?"

"yeah," seungmin nods and lets chan take his hand, leading him their large bathroom down the hall.

"are you sure you don't want more kids after heeseul?" chan asks as seungmin stripped out of his shirt, earning a glare from his husband.

"ask me that one more time and i'll never go near your dick again christopher," seungmin threatens, eliciting a giggle from his husband. "you think im joking?"

"no!" chan responds immediately shaking his head.
