━━ ◤ @okdabin​​ ◢

he didn’t expect to be called out for a shift tonight, but it was an emergency they said. the emergency turned out to be a fight that ended up with the original bouncer having to be sent to the hospital. if it wasn’t for the extra pay that the owner had offered hyunwoo wouldn’t have taken the job. it was late, far too late to call for a babysitter. with no choice he had to call dabin in for an emergency. he hated having to bring miyong along, especially when she should be sleeping and not surrounded by the pounding sound of edm and the smell of alcohol but the owner was at least nice enough to offer his office in the back as a makeshift bedroom for the night. even with all this his daughter doesn’t complain and he can’t help but feel ashamed as a parent for not being as strong as his child. if he wasn’t stroking his daughter’s hair he knows he would be biting his nails out of pure anxiety.  there’s a knock at the door and he sighs in relief seeing dabin’s face, “sorry about this dabs. it means a lot that you came. i’ll pay you back.”

“ yeah? ”  his heart swells up just a little bit, momentarily trying to figure out what exactly miyong likes him for         is it that really, at his core, he’s probably more of a child than even she is, or if he’s actually LIKEABLE, if he’s fun, or if he is, against all odds, semi - capable.  (  the last one feels like a stretch, and when he reminds himself of his ex’s pregnancy scare, he knows it’s a stretch.  )  he eats almost as fast as hyunwoo, initially shaking his head at his question as he hops off his stool to leave his plate in the sink too, before with a scrunch of his nose caused by the sound of the ceramic clanking in the sink, he rethinks and nods.  “ i’m fine, mostly.        some advil would be MUCH appreciated though. and then we can go, yeah? ”

“of course.” hyunwoo doesn’t want to prove it through his own words instead he’s sending his daughter a look, “you love minho oppa don’t you baby?” there’s a fit of giggles from the younger girl as she’s showering minho with “i love you’s”. he doesn’t bother to say an “i told you so” with that gesture. it takes a second to get his daughter to settle down again and to finish the last of her breakfast as he grabs the bottle of advil from the drawer. once a water bottle is next to the bottle hyunwoo is finally leaving his spot in the kitchen and walking around the counter to carry his daughter in his arms, “do you mind grabbing the lunchbox? i would but she wants to be spoiled today.” and everyone knows that he can’t give up an opportunity to do that.

manhui automatically blinked at one of the cameras with a look of surprise as he was met with a familiar silhouette. “hyung!” he called out, casually hitting the other with his duffle bag before dropping it onto the floor. a frown appeared on his face as he was given a confused expression. he gave hyunwoo a light push on the shoulder. “don’t tell me you forgot about me already.” he paused to look at his phone with a shake of his head. “still left on read, i’ve never felt so neglected.” he complained, giving him a look before pulling a water bottle from his bag. he was still a bit sweaty from practice and couldn’t reach the mansion to meet everybody like he wanted to. “this friendship is over, i hope you know that.”

the second the word “hyung” is thrown out hyunwoo knows exactly who it is even without looking. he’s always been good with voices, even when they are distorted through the phone. despite how tall manhui is he comes off similar to a child. sometimes he wishes his own daughter would act as childish as the younger male at times. although at times even hyunwoo has a hard time keeping up with the energy level of manhui he’s grateful to have the younger in his life to help keep it exciting. offering an awkward smile he tries his best to give a reasonable excuse, “sorry kiddo. you know how i am with texting. unless it’s emergencies i tend to forget.” scoffing at how ridiculous the threat is hyunwoo sends his own joke back, “so i guess that means you’re giving up your babysitting privileges? that’s too bad i’ll have to tell miyong to find a new friend to have playdates with.”

     if he had to pick his most favorite past-time, it would definitely be teasing people, especially those who get flustered rather easily —— one of them being hyunwoo. there’s something about the other that livens up this experience, makes it so exciting; perhaps it’s the reactions he manages to elicit with his vulgar words or not so innocent touches, but either way, jisung has no intentions of stopping. he seizes every moment he can get & this one is definitely an opportunity he cannot miss.

     “ too bad you’re from the army, not the police, ” he begins, shifting all the weight into his hip as he’s leaning against the doorframe of hyunwoo’s room. the producer’s arms are resting on his chest, proudly displaying the chiseled muscles from his work-out not so long ago, highlighted by his plain yet tight black shirt. a smirk adorns his face as he’s about to say the next words, his tongue slightly stroking the inside of his mouth. “ otherwise i could make the saying ‘fuck the police’ come to life. ” 

hyunwoo is the first to admit that he’s off his game. perhaps back in high school he was smoother, much more charming, because he’s not sure how he would have ended up with his girlfriend otherwise. she was a firecracker and he’s sure that he must have had some sort of spark in him if he was able to convince her to stay. nowadays flirting just makes him feel awkward. people call him naive during those instances, but hyunwoo is covered in scars and he’s missing an eye it’s safe to say that his self-confidence isn’t all that great anymore. it’s hard to believe that people still find him attractive. 

jisung always tends to make him feel flustered and he knows that he shouldn’t. his former crew during his army days used to throw around the same jokes and he didn’t think much of it. hyunwoo marks it down to being single and out of practice. he’s not cowardly enough to admit that jisung isn’t attractive. his thoughts on masculinity aren’t toxic enough to not even be able to compliment another man, but he knows that a part of him still refuses to change completely. the way his ears turn red is hard to ignore. people may call him naive, but he isn’t innocent, “well, i’m no longer in the army nor am i police officer but i would be careful saying that around a real officer. it might come with harsh consequences.” he offers as a warning.

it would be nice if she could fall asleep after finishing up editing. but no, she’s too awake now. she’s sighing, before looking at the clock, noting that it’s just after midnight. she’s letting out a hum, looking over at her roommate who is asleep, and then quickly shuts down her computer. she’s putting it to the side, grabbing the recent book she’s reading, and then tip toes out of the room, heading down to the living room. she’s not particularly surprised to see hyunwoo there, his nose stuck in a book. it’s been a thing, the two of them up late at night, keeping each other company. and now it’s become more of a reading time. or more her passing her recommendations that she wants to give to his daughter off to him first. she’s picked the ones that are more tame, the ones that she read when she was younger first. his daughter had been curious about them ever since the first time sohee told a tame scary story one night while babysitting. and it only snowballed from there, sohee more than happy to feed the young girl’s curiosity. 

she’s smiling bright as she moves to sit next to him, peering over his shoulder to see where he is in the book. “so?” she drags out the word, taking note of where he is before raising her eyes to his. “what do you think?”

hyunwoo can’t help it. with a sigh he’s sitting up in bed and just staring at his roommate for a second just to make sure all his tossing and turning hasn’t waken them up. the sound of quiet breathing filling the room and the sight of the body under the sheets not moving an inch sends a wave of relief through his body. as quietly as possible hyunwoo is getting out of bed, only the slightest bit annoyed when there’s a squeak from the bed as he gets up. grabbing the book on the nightstand he knows that he can’t read in the room. reading requires a light after all in order to see and he’s not going to bother his roommate this late at night, not when he’s being this careful. he could of course invest in an electronic reader, but there’s something about being able to hold a book in your hands. the sounds of the pages flipping and the weight of it in his hands was always comforting. he’s not the strongest reader, only getting into it nowadays since his daughter has decided to up her game, but it’s one of the more effective methods to help him during these sleepless nights. 

he could say that he was too invested in the book to notice sohee coming, but even now he can’t turn off that instinct of his to be prepared for any kind of threat. even if she isn’t one hyunwoo has a habit of being on guard. it takes a quick moment for him to readjust before smiling, “it’s fun. the plot is a bit confusing, lots of details. i can see why she’s asking me so many questions.”

it’s RARE that minho ever eats anything this good for breakfast, even rarer that his breakfast shouldn’t really be considered lunch. he tucks in IMMEDIATELY, an effort to soak up his hangover & his exhaustion all at once, only pausing once he’s halfway through the MOUNTAIN on his plate to smile at hyunwoo, embarrassed.  “ thanks. it’s good. ”  a beat of silence hangs heavily in the air, as minho holds himself back from asking if adopting a second, twenty - one year old child was really waht hyunwoo wanted out of his time in the mansion         because if minho didn’t know any better, it was.  “ and, uh, thank you for inviting me along today, i …  didn’t really have much else to do anyway. ”  he cringes as soon as the words leave his mouth, meeting the camera set up in the kitchen as a silent plea to the editors to TAKE PITY on him.  “ weird being up this early though. ”

it’s nice to hear that the food he makes is good. his daughter is a sweetheart, but she’s been saying it less and less. nowadays he has to prod it out of her in order for her to give him some kind of praise. it’s not that he needs it, but it always warms his heart to hear such sweet words from his daughter. hyunwoo is finishing up cooking and packing up their lunch as he watches the two of them from the other side of the counter. at the same time hyunwoo is getting started on his meal, standing as he does so but he supposes that comes with the job of being a parent. he’s smiling through a bite of food as he hears minho stumbling through his words. hyunwoo has always thought minho was a good kid despite his bad habits, but no matter how much he disapproves of his habits he knows that minho isn’t actually his kid to take care of. minho is an adult after all and hyunwoo can only do so much to convince minho to drop his old habits, “miyong loves having you around. if anything you’re helping me out by tagging along.” it doesn’t take long before hyunwoo has finished his meal, he’s always had a habit of eating quickly. throwing the plate into the sink for now he shoots a worried glance over, “are you feeling ok? want me to get you some advil?”

a long sigh escapes his lips as he stares down at his notebook and textbook, pen in hand. business was a good idea to major in, seeing as he had a few ideas of what he wants to do after college, but sometimes it still sucks. especially at the moment when he’s at a loss for understanding anything in the book. he was there for the class, of course, but it’s still flying over his head. “fuck,” he sighs again, dragging his fingers through his hair and then deciding to stand up, heading over to the alcohol cabinet. he’s just got his hand around the neck of a bottle, planning on just taking the whole thing while he tries to work, when he hears footsteps. he’s freezing, looking over his shoulder when he spots hyunwoo. “uh.” he’s removing his hand from the cabinet, bottle still in there and he’s shutting it, moving to stand up. “homework was just getting on my nerves,” he says with a short laugh, rubbing the back of his neck as he moves to sit down again.

hyunwoo gets it, he really does. he was never the best at school, only ever doing well enough to just pass by during his time in high school. college wasn’t an option for hyunwoo. he doesn’t regret making the choices he made, but sometimes hyunwoo does wish he could have gone the normal route and enjoyed his time at college. with how his life is going at the moment he knows that he doesn’t have the funds or time to finally attend college, but one day he does hope to go back and finish his education. however, despite not going to college himself he values education. it’s why he was so encouraging of his former partner and now that he’s a dad he’s even more so encouraging of education. that expression is on his face again. it’s not anger really, but it can come off as quite intimidating with the way his brows are furrowed and how sharp his eyes look. he has to remind himself to calm his expression. the breath he takes comes out as a huff, but the irritation is evident on his face. he’s not trying to scare the kid but sometimes he’s always been a heart on the sleeve type, “you know there’s better ways to relax.” with a nod of his head he’s gesturing for the younger to come over, “come on kiddo. get up. you need a break.”

At this point, their morning routines had become muscle memory. She woke up, met the other downstairs, and they went for a morning run around the block. It was nice having company— especially someone more fit than herself— to inspire herself to keep pushing her limits and stay in shape. Once they’d returned back to the house, the pair headed to their respective showers and met back up in the kitchen. “Sure, I’ll take one.” She nodded, taking the bottle into her own hands. “Hmm…” Her face scrunched up in thought. “That depends. What did you have in mind?”

as he’s rummaging through the fridge all hyunwoo can see are eggs. if he’s going to be honest he’s not much of a cook, but over the past year he’s been getting better. he’s no master chef and he’s sure he will never reach that point, but an omelette doesn’t seem too hard. turning around with a raised brow he’s pulling the carton of eggs out and placing it on the counter, “we could do omelettes? i really didn’t have anything in mind. were you craving anything?” hyunwoo was more of a go with the flow guy than anything. it’s why miyong is the decision maker in his family.

[text] Hey, are you up? If you’re not, can you wake up? I need some help. (gunwoo)

( strange sentence starters // … NOT ACCEPTING )

he always had his phone of vibrate and with the sound on in case of emergencies. miyong was a good child, but raising a child meant that at any moment a situation could arise. hyunwoo has a hard time sleeping and although tonight wasn’t one of those night he would gladly give up his sleep if it meant that he could be of help to another person. the light is almost blinding as he checks his messages, but before he’s even done reading the message he’s getting up and slipping on a jacket. 

( txt ⤿ gunwoo ) where are you ( txt ⤿ gunwoo ) what’s wrong? ( txt ⤿ gunwoo ) i can come right now ( txt ⤿ gunwoo ) do you need me to bring anything?

[text] You’re cute.

( strange sentence starters // … NOT ACCEPTING )

he had to pause for a second as checked his texts. with a shake of his head hyunwoo was sure that this wasn’t intended for him. it’s been years since he’s been called cute, that compliment was usually reserved for his daughter nowadays. 

( txt ⤿ jisung ) if this is for miyong then i agree my daughter is the cutest! 😀

hyunwoo doesn’t use emojis much in his texting as that was never his style, but his daughter has made him commit lots of uncharacteristic acts in his past. 

[5thyun-blog]

What age do you wish you could permanently be?

( honesty hour // … NOT ACCEPTING )

“oh.” at first it sounded like a good idea, but the more hyunwoo thought about the logistics of the situation the less appealing it sounded, “as nice as that sounds and as much as i wish i could live like how i did in my heydays the idea of my daughter aging and me not is not a comforting thought at all. as much as i would hate to see her grow up before my eyes i think i would hate it more if she grew up and left me behind. i couldn’t stand living a life without her in it.” 

[5thyun-blog]

If you could have a video of any one event in your life, what event would you choose?

( honesty hour // … NOT ACCEPTING )

he’s getting emotional just as he thinks about it. throughout all the years they’ve been able to record quite a lot of firsts in their daughter’s life. despite it all there are always those moments that they weren’t able to encapsulate to be kept forever. if they hadn’t gotten the first time he got to hold his daughter on tape then he would have picked that moment and although they never recorded the first time miyong had called him dad it wasn’t that moment he would want as a video either. with a single finger he tries to hide the fact that his eyes are getting damp, “there was this moment when she was still little. wasn’t able to speak yet, barely able to crawl, but i called her name. she made eye contact with me and we held it for a moment before she just smiled and bursted into this loud gurgle of giggles. it felt like love in its most purest form.” he’s laughing lightly at his own words, the tips of his ears turning red in embarrassment, “i know it might sound cheesy, but i can’t help it with her.” 

[5thyun-blog]

“Hey! Give me your pants. Quick, give me your pants.”

( strange sentence starters // … NOT ACCEPTING )

“what?” hyunwoo can’t hold back his shock at hearing that. it’s not like a jacket where he could just strip it off and he would have a nice shirt underneath. it’s a strange demand from the girl and he’s not completely sure he’s comfortable with exposing himself for her to see. granted, he is wearing underwear but the result is the same. despite everything that hyunwoo has been through quite a number of things cause him a good amount of embarrassment. although his body isn’t really anything to be embarrassed about, he’s not someone who enjoys public indecency. even as he hesitates another voice in his mind tells him that she wouldn’t be asking if it wasn’t an emergency and so he’s undoing his belt already. however even with that he pauses to question her with a raised brow, “this isn’t like a prank right? you actually need these for an emergency?”

“If we got married, would I have to take your last name? Or could we just make up a new one?” // [text] What are you good for if you’re not gonna bring me ice cream? // [text] She said that to you? Why? ( dabin )

( strange sentence starters // … NOT ACCEPTING )

“If we got married, would I have to take your last name? Or could we just make up a new one?”

he can’t help but laugh. it’s been a while since he was really ever surrounded by a large group of people and forced to socialize but since coming to the mansion hyunwoo has felt like it was been good for him. he’s made friends in unlikely people and met even more interesting ones. dabin really had to top that list. his tone is as gentle as always as he replies, “i thought nowadays the most independent thing to do was to just keep your own name, but what kind of frankenstein’s monster name were you thinking of?” in the past hyunwoo probably would have been uncomfortable even hearing this type of joke let alone going with the flow. he’s happy with the steps he’s made. 

[text] What are you good for if you’re not gonna bring me ice cream?

( txt ⤿ dabin ) well if you put it that way i guess my daughter can find other company( txt ⤿ dabin ) i’m kidding ( txt ⤿ dabin ) she loves you and i would never do that to her ( txt ⤿ dabin ) what kind did you want

[text] She said that to you? Why?

( txt ⤿ dabin ) it’s fine i get it a lot ( txt ⤿ dabin ) i’m young to be a dad and i’m not married i get that they’re just worried and looking out for her 

[5thyun-blog]

[text] She said that to you? Why?

( strange sentence starters // … NOT ACCEPTING )

( txt ⤿ sohee ) i think it must’ve been one of the kids from school ( txt ⤿ sohee ) or it was from some documentary she was watching ( txt ⤿ sohee ) either way i just got her to stop crying ( txt ⤿ sohee ) i mean im not gonna die if i meet my doppelganger but it would be strange
