"After nine months I never knew you, scouts honor."

A bigger lie was never told.

Here we are lazing around in Changkyun's room. Our mothers kicked us out my apartment and told us to go have a life for a few hours.

Everything has been baby, baby, baby lately and I don't mind that. That's what we signed up for but our parents said it's normal to have a break. Too much can overwhelm all of us and that won't be good for anybody.

That brings us to now.

Changkyun is making us all burgers while I lay in his bed under the covers, Jungkook stretches out on the floor reading manga, and Haechan digs around in his drawers being nosey,

Changkyun: What do you guys want on your burgers?
Jungkook: Mayo, mustard and ketchup.
Haechan: Mustard and relish.
Me: Lettuce, tomato, cheese, ketchup, mustard, and mayo.

He blinks.

Changkyun: Change of plans you guys get the hell up and put it on yourselves.
Me: I'm too comfortable.

I shouldn't have said that because as soon as the words left my lips Haechan snatches the covers off of me. Against my will we go into the kitchen for our food.

Yesterday the exam grades dropped and we all did exceptionally well. My grades surprised me the most, I know I did good but I didn't think I did that good.

Studying is that bitch okay.

Haechan: So after college..
Me: I don't know. I didn't think I'd get this far.
Jungkook: It's this company that's looking for a print manager. I'm going to intern there for a little, learn more about the art industry before putting all my eggs in one basket.

That's Jungkook for you. Nice and careful, thought out lifestyle.

Haechan: I was going to wing it.

And then there's him... yeah.

Me: There's a few work from home jobs I was going to look into. I'll have to go into the office maybe twice a week because of the position I want.
Haechan: Social worker right?

I nod.

When I was younger I had a friend who had some issues at home. Her mom was abusive and dad wasn't in the picture. The system failed her.

The social worker would always come out to the house but never applied to have my friend removed from the toxic environment.

Later that fall came around and she took her own life at the age of thirteen. From then on out I swore to be the social worker who wouldn't stop until I knew the cases of kids were handled correctly.

Changkyun: An editor position my dad's friend needs filled also has work from home shifts. That way I can help with the babies too. Much like Jungkook I'll be an intern too, learning the ends in out of the publishing business.

Haechan let's out a small wow..

Haechan: You guys seem so adultish.
Me: You're an adult too!

Haechan: Barely!

I sigh shaking my head.

Daniel is sleep so I spend the morning entertaining Samuel.

Me: Okay so on this mukbang I'll be eating sweet chili boneless wings and a side of fries, with a water and coke to wash it down.

His big eyes stare into my soul.

I take the first bite and send him a thumbs up.

Me: Sweet but also a hint of spicy!

Next I try the fries.

Me: Golden crisp with a hint of season.

He blinks.

Me: You're not giving me much to work with buddy.

Someone knocks at the door and I yell it's open. Changkyun walks in carrying a few bags.

Me: Oh? What's that?
Changkyun: Groceries.

A while ago he made a promise to buy me groceries because I was pregnant and ate like a grown ass man. Due to me carrying his child he felt like it was his responsibility to keep the fridge stocked.

But now...

Me: You know my appetite decreased since giving birth right? I can buy my own groceries.
Changkyun: No.

No?

Changkyun: Jungkook, Haechan and I agreed things would stay the same including this.
Me: Where was I when you all made this little pregnancy pact?
Changkyun: Drooling on my couch.

Makes sense.

Changkyun: How's the babies?
Me: Daniel is sleep and Samuel hates my mukbang.
Changkyun: Smart kid.
Me: Hey!

He chuckles.

Changkyun: Are you busy this weekend?
Me: I don't think so, why?
Changkyun: Do you wanna' come to this conference dinner with me?

Huh?

Me: A what?
Changkyun: My dad is going to use this dinner to announce his retirement and that type of thing. Jungkook and his family will be there too so Haechan said he'd watch the babies if you agreed to come with me.

I look at Samuel who looks like he's also waiting to hear my response.

Me: Um sure, of course.

A small noise of joy leaves the little baby.

Changkyun and I look at each other before laughing.
