[M] Epilogue (1/1)

***‘Mom! Chun is picking his nose again! He says that he’s going to find the biggest booger and smear in my hair! Tell him to stop!’ a shrill voice, accompanied by soft padding of tiny feet, squeaks the moment he opens the door.Jaejoong takes a deep breath, his thumb and index finger automatically reaching for his nose, massaging the closed eyelids. ‘Stop being such a tattletale, stupid! Why are you always like that?’ another squeaky voice joins the first one, more little feet padding the floor. Alright, it's time to be a superdad again, Jaejoong thinks as he pushes down his murderous intents. He puts a calm expression on his face as he looks at his two young children. 'Susu, Micky. Why are you up and around and yelling so loudly in the morning? Don't you know that daddy needs to go out and buy himself a nice cup of Sunday morning coffee before he can-' he leaves out the 'deal with all your bullshit at this ungodly hour', instead a wonderful smile decorating his face, '-help you with you very important, little people problems.'Two pairs of huge eyes look up at him before they turn to stare at each other. It's the calm before the storm and Yoochun pokes his brother in the cheek and Junsu starts screaming so shrilly he wakes up the neighborhood dogs. Jaejoong tries his best to hold back a sob at the impossibility of making these two little monsters listen to anything. Having two tiny alphas in the household is a curse. They say it's a blessing but Jaejoong knows it's a curse. He has to live with them.'Just murder each other already,' he grumbles as he makes his way to the kitchen, a bag of groceries in his hands. He's back after a nice, blissfully quiet morning walk to the market which now seems to have lasted entirely too short. He could have bargained for that beef a bit longer, could have spent more time choosing the rice -'Mom, make him stop!' Junsu screams as he runs after him, almost making the beta stumble and fall to the ground when the little creature rounds his legs in an attempt to escape his brother. Jaejoong glares down at Yoochun who looks up at him innocently.'What? We're just playing. He's always like that!’He’s given a perfect smile that he doesn't trust one bit. 'Micky, stop it. Don't terrorize your bother. And where's Minny?' he asks the older of the twins as he puts the bag on the kitchen counter, groaning at the sharp pain shooting through his lower back. God dammit, he's not that old but he feels like a grandfather already. He's going to kill Yunho even though he's not sure how exactly is that Yunho’s fault. But he will.His two little boy stop at that question, Yoochun biting his lip. 'Uh oh,' Junsu mutters, now having attached himself to one of his dad’s legs, Jaejoong looking  at him suspiciously.'What do you mean by uh oh? Where's your brother?' he asks, looking from one twin to the other, already expecting an answer that he hopes he will not have to hear.'Well, you see-' Yoochun starts, suddenly sounding all serious and adult like, and Jaejoong hates where this is going, 'Minny was being annoying and stuff and didn't want to play with us so we thought-''I didn't think anything! You said to just do it!’'Shut up, ok? You agreed!''Did not!''Did too!''Did not!''Did-''Where is MINNY?' Jaejoong roars, feeling that he needs to see a therapist right after or he will murder at least one of his sweet, wonderful children. But right now he needs to save his youngest. 'Um, we locked him in the room,' Yoochun whimpers and Jaejoong stalks over to where the bedroom is and yanks the door open with all his force. He doesn't care if he just broke the lock or the entire handle off because he needs to save a kid.His heart calms down when he sees Changmin sitting on the bed, doodling on a sheet or paper calmly. Betas are wonderful creatures, Jaejoong decides, when he melts at the sight. 'Minny, are you alright, my baby?' he goes to hug him, tears in his eyes, only to have the youngest squirming uncomfortable in his arms. Junsu looks over at Yoochun with frustration in his eyes to which the oldest shrugs. 'Jaejoong, please stop,' Changmin says all serious and Jaejoong feels like crying even more. 'Baby, call me mommy or daddy or whatever you prefer but don't call me Jaejoong. Don’t be so serious and gloomy. You know I will take care of everything, right?’'Yes, Jaejoong, I understand,' the youngest nods, breaking his heart once again. But there's nothing he can do about it. Changmin loves his father more than anything in the world and he’s still a little bitter about Yunho having to leave for a business trip on his birthday. Jaejoong would have strangled the alpha if he knew there was another way but even he had to agree that the alpha had no choice this time. If Yunho wanted to keep his job, he had to go.'Ok, sweety, I'm going to make your favorite meal today so be good and wait.’The mention of food make Changmin's face light up with happiness and Jaejoong smiles at that. He can always trust himself to be able to bribe his youngest with food. 'As for you two-' his tone changes, growing darker when he turns to face the twins, 'you are on cleaning duty all week long. No whining, no speaking back, you know what you two did wrong and now deal with it.''Fine,’ Chun huffs, turning his face away from his brother while Junsu looks at him curiously. Jaejoong shakes his head at that and let’s out a huff. If Yunho's not coming back soon, he's murdering someone. -- 'Three more days, hun.''I can't do three more days! I'm going insane as it is,' Jaejoong whines into the receiver. Yunho's been gone for more than a week now and the beta feels stretched thin. His mate is absolutely amazing with the children, playing for hours upon hours and never growing tired of them. Maybe it's because he's a kid at heart or, maybe it's because he's insane. Whatever it is, it works. ‘Yoochun locked Changmin in the room again. I don’t know what to do with him anymore.’‘I keep telling you it’s because he’s jealous. You dote on the youngest too much.’‘But Minny’s so gloomy and depressive when you’re not around,’ Jaejoong bites his lip, feeling guilty all of sudden, ‘I can’t help it.’ 'Maybe my mother can-''NOOO!' he wails in horror, refusing to be left alone with that woman ever again. The last time that happened, he was talked into trying for another kid because it's such a small chance, darling and in your relationship letting my son knot you is healthy for your body. It’s very important for your bond. Important for their bond his a
