Jimin is a makeup artist in a company for an idol and Jungkook is an office worker who recently got a promotion. After him and Jungkook adopt a boy, Jimin decides to stay at home to take care of him. Missing his work too much, Jimin decides to become a beauty guru on youtube.
Jungkook’s promotion is the reason why they were able to adopt Minjae who is still only a year old when they first adopt him. Jungkook can’t stay at home because of his new position and Jimin doesn’t want to neglect the baby which is why he refuses to go on tour with the idol.
It’s fine at first. Jimin is busy with the baby and Jungkook tries to help as much as he can. As they both get the hang of it, taking care of Minjae much easier now, the initial boredom Jimin felt from time to time gets worse. Jungkook who feels bad because Jimin gave up his work for their family, encourages Jimin to start a youtube channel.
At first Jimin only needs to figure out how to film a video and how to edit them, takes his time to find out how he wants his channel to look. It’s fun, working with the brushes and colouring his face with different shades of colour each week, does themed makeup videos, natural and party looks, and so much more. One day, Minjae is sick, his sleeping schedule is disturbed, and he wakes up in the middle of filming. Jimin goes to him with his makeup half done. As soon as Jimin leaves the room he starts crying, also refusing to fall back asleep. So Jimin takes him with him to film the rest of the video, introducing Minjae as a “special guest.” Minjae is liked by the viewers so much that Jimin films with Minjae regularly from then on, sitting on the ground so Minjae can sit with him in front of a huge mirror.
As Minjae gets older, and Jimin slowly gets a bigger audience, he “helps” his dad more and more with his videos. He gives Jimin the brushes but usually puts them in his mouth. Chubby cheeks full with brushes, three in each hands and lipstick on his lips cause he's trying to imitate his daddy. The first time it happens, Jimin screams and the baby gets frightened, chin wobbling and then fat tears rolling down his cheeks. He lets the brushes fall immediately and wails. Jimin doesn’t edit out the scene of him consoling Minjae.
Once Minjae crawls into Jimin’s lap and tries to paint his face. The next time, Jimin lets Minjae do his makeup and asks Minjae which colours he should use. But Minjae doesn’t always corporate, too antsy to sit still for multiple hours. It gets even harder to film his videos as Jimin’s channel gets bigger, people also having found out that he used work for that idol. So Jungkook, now more settled in his new job, asks his boss if he can work from home sometimes. So when Jimin is filming his videos, he takes care of Minjae. One day, he walks in on Jimin filming his video because Minjae is crying again and Jimin lets that part in. As soon as the video is up, his comment section blows up with questions about the hot man.
Fulfilling the wishes of his followers, Jimin asks Jungkook to be in one of his videos and does Jungkook’s makeup. From then on Jungkook tries to be as involved in Jimin’s videos as much as he can because he likes being part of something that means so much to Jimin. Soon he also starts filming Jimin and Minjae, and calls those videos “Dad Cam” or “Kookie Cam.” Jimin tells him to use only one because both have the same content anyway but Jungkook likes both too much to decide so he does both.
With time, Jimin finds himself clueless about what to do again. He’s getting out of ideas what to film, having done all kinds of makeup tutorials, and he doesn’t want to change the focus from the makeup. Minjae also gets older and starts going to kindergarten which leads to Jimin having more time on his hands.
It’s a miracle when Jimin gets a job offered from his old company and he thinks hard about whether he wants to continue being a stay at home dad, continue with his youtube videos and be there for Minjae just as much as he was before, or if he wants to take the offer from his company because Minjae doesn’t need him as much as before and he doesn’t know what to film anymore anyway.
In the end, he settles for working half-time and still trying to upload videos regularly. That way he also has enough time for Minjae and Jungkook.
