@yoo kihyun I’ll be sure to keep that in mind, hyung. I promise.
*snuggling Yewon gently in my arms, I blink over at you in curiosity as you get on all fours before realizing what you’re doing and grinning*
Ah, it just might work actually!
*watching intently as Sarang looks up at you in confusion, I beam from ear to ear as she slowly plops onto her tummy and hauls herself up, doing her best to copy your movements, though not doing nearly as well as Yewon*
H-Hyung, it’s working! I-I think? Yeah, it’s definitely working! Sarang come on! You can do it!
*by some miracle, Sarang makes it over to me and perches herself on the other side of my lap, tears beginning to freely roll down my cheeks as I hold them close and sigh shakily*
They did it.. I can’t believe my girls are crawling now. Where did the time go? Thank you for helping me though, hyung. That must've been a little embarrassing-

@im changkyun [sh] Just know that I can help you when you need it~ *smiles softly then looks at you, nodding approvingly* Now happy Kyun is much much better to see--
*follows your gaze as Yewon was able to crawl her way towards you, also smiling warmly st the sight and is also heartwarmed by your reaction to it* Yay for Yewon~ She's taking another step in babyhood! For Sarang--? *stares at Sarang as I get to all fours* Would this work somehow? But let's see~ *crawls on my way to Sarang* Sarang~ Go to your mama like this~ *shows her as I crawl slowly straight to your direction*

@yoo kihyun *leaning into your touch a bit, I can’t help but mirror your smile and shrug my shoulders*
I’ll try not to worry. Thank you though, hyung. You really don’t have to help me, but I’m very thankful you are.
*blinking over at us, Yewon beams and shakily begins to crawl over to us, my eyes widening in shock as she does*
E-Eh? Yewon is.. crawling?! H-Hyung, she’s never crawled before!
*I exclaim quietly in surprise, scooping Yewon up in my arms once she stops in front of us and breathing out a sigh of relief that she didn’t fall on the way, tears of joy filling my eyes this time as I hold her close*
Aigoo, this is so amazing! But Sarang..
*I trail off as I watch Sarang quietly playing with the dolls by herself now*
How should I get her to do it too?

@im changkyun [sh] *smiles softly to try cheering you up, then pats your head gently to comfort you, looking at you intently as I tilt my head* No worries about that Kyun, know that I'm here for you-- Now that's a good promise... I know you can go through all of this~ *my gaze then turns to your girls as I chuckle softly* I'm excited to see them grow as well~

@yoo kihyun *rests my head on your shoulder with a shaky sigh, brushing my tears away with light fingers before sniffling quietly and watching the girls play with their dolls with a softening expression*
Thanks hyung.. I-I really appreciate your help and kind words. I’ll be okay and I won’t stop trying, I can promise you that. I just.. I’m burnt out, I really am.

@im changkyun Remove the negative thoughts, Kyun. It's not going to help you feel better...
It will be worth it believe me... You're doing well okay? Otherwise they'd be unhappy in your care... *looks at you with the utmost concern as I observe you and your girls*
It's not a bother for us if you do ask for help... Also, it's my responsibility to help and make sure that my friends, groupmates are fine... Just be patient, Kyun...
*shifts over and approaches you to give you a hug, patting your back gently* It's gonna be okay... I understand your worries and all, but you're not alone and you're doing good.

@yoo kihyun *listening to you speak, I sigh quietly and pull my girls into my arms, holding them close as I look up at you with glazed over eyes*
I really hope that all of the pain, effort and sleepless nights.. will all be worth it. But am I really good enough, hyung? Am I raising them right? I really don’t know.
Besides.. I could never ask for help. I just can’t. It’s my responsibility to take care of them, but it’s just.. it’s so hard. I don’t know how much longer I can do this.
*I choke back a quiet sob as I gently release the girls, tugging them to the side to let them play as I sniffle softly and brush away my tears, my facade slowly starting to slip before I can realize it*

@im changkyun [h] (Good good~ ^ ^ )

Then your two traits were broken down into Sarang and Yewon. As long as she's with the trustworthy and good people, I think she'll be less shy and will end up approaching people with less hesitation... *smiles softly as I let out a satisfied hum*
*widens eyes slightly and snorts* What?? Kyun-- I'm not a little hamster, I'm as tall as you are!
*chuckles softly and just coos when I see you playing with your daughters after they kiss your cheeks, grinning softly* They really do love you so much~
I feel like the effort you give in taking care of them will pay off well-- These girls will probably be supporting and returning the favor to you when they grow up--
I'm also sure they'd be happier also if you are happy too-- So cheer up Kyun~ Eomma Ki is also here along with your groupmates to guide and help you out~

@yoo kihyun (Thank you, I’m trying my best ^^)

*rolling my eyes playfully, I brush my fingers through Sarang’s growing jet black locks and smile lightly up at you*
I know her shyness will eventually get better. She’s exactly like me when I was her age, and Yewon is a bit more like me when I got older.
Alright, think what you want “shark” hyung. But in my eyes, you’re still a small little hamster.
*observing Yewon as she plays with your fingers and squeals happily, my smile falters for a moment and turns into one of sadness, my eyes unreadable as I look away from you, only to hear you coming closer with Yewon. pouting a bit when you poke my cheek, I open my mouth to protest only to squeak softly when my cheeks are attacked by two pairs of tiny lips*
Y-Yah, girls! Kihyun hyuuung!
*I whine as I playfully poke their tummies, eliciting adorable laughs from their lips causing my smile to return for a brief moment*

@im changkyun [h] (It's alright-- I hope things still turn out well for you -- No worries and just take your time!)

*laughs softly and playfully snorts, shaking my head as I look at you*
Whaaaat? I was trying to make Sarang glad-- *lets out a soft chuckle, just observing your two kids, crossing my arms and grinning softly as I see Sarang shy away a bit again* Don't worry, Sarang will eventually be less shy later on~ *coos when Yewon also ended up going to my lap, as I then take a hold of her and let her lean on my torso* I'm glad that you are getting along well with me, Yewon~
But I ammmm fierce, Kyun! My face is fierce, see? *points at my own face seriously before letting out a light chuckle*
Kyun... It's gonna be fine, believe me... *looks at you and reads that you seem to about to cry, then holds up Yewon's hands* Aww~ Look, you don't want your eomma to be sad right? How about give eomma's cheek a kiss? *ushers her towards you as I then poke your cheek to point where Yewon should kiss* Here~ So your eomma will feel better-- Sarang too~

@yoo kihyun (Sorry for the late reply! I’ve been pretty busy lately and really just struggling with life T _ T please forgive me!)

*watching you do aegyo to Sarang, I playfully cringe and nudge you gently, my cheeks pinkening a small bit as I roll my eyes*
Yah, hyung! You’re so greasy!
*I whine softly, though I have a grin set on my lips as I watch the two of you interact, laughing softly as I watch the girls babble happily upon hearing about their eomma, warmth exploding in my chest as a response. Sarang gives you a small smile as you play with her fingers before she pulls her hand back and buries her face in my shirt again, a soft chuckle slipping past my lips as I hold her close. swatching Yewon crawl over to you and seat herself on your own lap, I can’t help but smile widely*
Ahh, looks like Yewonnie likes you. What, fierce, you? Are you sure about that, mister hamster?
*I ask with a small smirk before shrugging softly*
They’re about eight months now, so they’re still babies. With promotions and having to take care of them though, it’s just.. it’s really hard, hyung.
*I whisper quietly, an unreadable expression on my face as I stare down at Sarang, who looks up at me in return and tilts her head in confusion as she watches tears fill her eomma’s eyes*

@im changkyun [h] *chuckles softly and tries my best to pull off an aegyo face at Sarang so she wouldn't be scared of me, puffing my cheeks at her* Does Sarang like cute people? Maybe this works~ *widens eyes slightly and glances at you, smiling and shaking my head* No, your eomma is better, for real- You and Yewon love him a lot, don't yoy? Right? *my smile goes warmer when Sarang finally reaches her hand out, I then hold it gently and play with her fingers* See? Uncle Kihyun is harmless~ *sits down and grins softly* I'm glad they are fine with me Kyun. Since I look quite fierce sometimes and it might come off too strong to handle. *jokes and laughs softly as I point at my eyes* How old are they right now, Kyun?

@yoo kihyun *smiling brightly as you kneel in front of us, I watch you interact with Yewon and my heart swells in happiness, the sight too cute to resist, and I sneak my phone out of my pocket to snap a picture of you both. hearing your words towards Yewon, my cheeks pinken a bit along with the tips of my ears and I clear my throat lightly, glancing down at Sarang with a small chuckle as she stares up at you with a curious look, gently pulling her into my lap to face you properly*
Baby, you don’t have to be scared of him, he’s just like eomma. In fact, he’s even better than eomma!
*leaning into me, she gives you another weird look before slowly, and hesitantly, reaching her hand out towards you, making me beam happily*
Well look at that, didn’t take too much convincing thankfully!

@im changkyun [h] *chuckles softly and shakes my head, keeping you leaned against me to make sure you're not hurting and all* Just remember that still, you're strong. You don't have to carry all the burden by yourself, you know.
*nods slowly as I follow you to your apartment, looking around, then my gaze shifts over to your kids who were definitely glad to see you back home, chuckling and smiling warmly at the sight of how sweet you are with them, and the fact that they seem to be really affectionate towards you too*
*walks in, and kneels just in front of you and the children, gently touching Yewon's fingers as I grin* Hi~ Looks like your eomma has been taking care of you really well-- *notices that the other twin is being shy towards me, chuckling softly, cooing* Aww-- You don't have to be shy... Uncle Kihyun is a really nice person like your eomma~
They seem to be enjoying themselves-

@yoo kihyun *chewing on my lower lip, I nod a little at your words before carefully pulling us both up, leaning against your side a bit as I sigh softly*
I-I’ll try, hyung. I guess I just feel weak when I have to ask for help but.. I’ll be sure to let you know. I wouldn’t say I’m stronger than you, though.
*I say with a light smile as I gesture you to follow me*
My apartment isn’t too far, just ahead of that block.
*upon arriving, I pull a small key out from my pocket and unlock the door, bidding the babysitter goodbye as she leaves. my face automatically brightens as I see the twins on the floor watching a cartoon, and when they hear the door open, their heads perk up and they babble excitedly. grinning from ear to ear, I lock the door behind us before setting the key aside and walking over to them, kneeling down to give them both a peck atop their heads*
Eomma is home now, I'm sorry I took so long. But look who I brought with me! This is Uncle Kihyun, say hi!
*as if on cue, both girls turn to face you. Sarang, a bit shorter than Yewon, gives you an apprehensive look and hides behind me, while Yewon beams brightly and makes grabby hands up at you, a series of incoherent sounds escaping her lips as she stares up at you with wide, chocolate orbs*
