Chapter 2

Shaking himself from his thoughts Yoongi turned his attention back to his son, who was smiling at him through the camera. His two upper and lower front teeth missing. He must have lost them recently. "Did you help daddy with Hobi and Tae?" Yoon-gi didn't even have to ask, he knew how helpful Jin was. As his son shook his head and continued talking, he saw his husband come back in the room a crying baby in his arms and a bottle in the other. Yoongi glanced at the clock, it read 7:30 am(his time) it was definitely past the two younger kids bedtime. "Its late love."

"I know, but they wouldn't go to sleep without seeing you and without their story." Said the younger man with a bright smile. "I thought you'd like to do the honors before you had to go to rehearsals."

He couldn't help but smile as well. It probably wasn't easy being a single father for an entire year while he had been on tour, but his husband was doing a great job. Better than he ever could. How he looked after four kids for an entire year was beyond him. Yoongi could barely look after four of them for an hour, in his eyes, his husband was a saint. "What book are we reading tonight?"

Yoon-gi listens tentively watching his husband address his children, "mueos chaeg uliga ilg-go issseubnikka?" He heard his husband say. A few quiet whispers and his husband turns around to face him again. "Goodnight Moon."

"Papa do voices?" He heard TaeTae ask.

Getting out of bed, he walked to his closet and pulled out a small green suitcase and carefully opened it. When he had first announced his third world tour, he had his husband remind him several times to pack the kids bedtime story books. He didn't want to miss out while he was away traveling and although it had been almost impossible the first week because of the time change and schedules, they had settled on a good schedule. "Papa can't do voices with Goodnight Moon. Maybe tomorrow night love." He pulled out the book and walked back to his bed plopping down with a loud sigh. "Have you brushed your teeth?"

"Daddy helped us already," little Jin says. He crawls into his father's lap bringing his face close to the camera and flashes his teeth at Yoon-gi. Yoongi laughs because even though he did brush them, it was funny seeing his son with several missing teeth.

"Everyone have their pajamas on?" Asked Min Yoongi. He opens the book and looks up at the screen, "ready?"

His husband nods, sets the baby down on the floor and walks to the bed to tuck the three older kids in. When the three boys were tucked in tightly his husband took a seat in the rocking chair with baby Kookie in his arms. His son latches on to the bottle quickly and began to suckle, "do you have enough ****** milk?" Suga asked.

"Enough until you get back." His husband added. He adjusted the infant in his arms and began to rock in the chair. 

"In the great green room there was a telephone and a red balloon and a picture of--

"Gusnais mun," Jin says excitedly.

Both husbands smiled. "And there were three little bears sitting on chairs and what Hobi?"

"Geuligo du mali jag-eun saekki goyang-i."

"And a pair of mittens."

"And a little toy house and a young mouse," his husband joined in. When he looked up, a small smile on his face, he saw that his husband had turned the camera to front facing and was now pointing the screen in front of little Kookie's face. Yoon-gi watched for a while as the small child suckled the rubber tit of the bottle making the cutest noises, his small hands wrapped around the thumb of his husband. He knew he would get emotional(he always did) when he saw his children today, it had been an entire year without seeing them, holding them or even kissing them. A year of missing out on things, birthdays, loose teeth and first day of school. He had missed all their firsts. He felt his chest get tighter and held back a sob. God he was so glad today was the last day of tour and he'd be heading home in a few days. "Papa sad?"

Shaking himself from his thoughts he looked up to see big brown worried eyes staring at him. "No baby, Papa just misses you is all." He tried to smile, but even though his kids were fooled, his husband surely wasn't buying his act. "And a comb and a brush and a bowl full of mush. And a quiet old lady who was whispering “hush”. Goodnight room and goodnight what?" Yoongi asked.

"Goodnight Moon," it was Tae who responded. And even though his son's dummy was bobbing in and out of his mouth, but he understood what his boy had said.

"Goodnight cow jumping over the moon." He softened his tone of voice and went to a quiet whisper. "Goodnight light. And the red balloon. Goodnight bears. Goodnight chairs. Goodnight kittens. And goodnight mittens. Goodnight clocks."

"And goodnight socks," his husband added.

"Goodnight little house,"

"And goodnight mouse," the younger man paused, pulled the sleeping baby closer to him and began gentle taps on the baby's back. Min Yoongi watched in fascination, his husband had always been the best at getting their kids to burp. No matter how hard he tried his children never gave it as much effort when he was the one trying to relieve the air from their bellies. The younger man was more patient than he'd ever be. "Goodnight comb. And goodnight brush. Goodnight nobody. Goodnight mush. And goodnight to the old lady whispering “hush”. Goodnight stars."
