"Ewok," Tae corrected as he crawled onto the bed and moved himself against his brother and into his arms, holding the ewok out to him. "He is soft." Tae was smiling. This was the best thing he had ever gotten.
"He's not my boytoy, hyung. He's my boyfriend. My partner. We live together, it's not casual. Don't worry, you don't gotta meet him. But he is good with kids." Minjun paused. "As opposed to Cheon. Come on. You left Cheon alone here, but you don't trust me and the boy I love?"
"Ewok." Jiho smiled a little and pulled Tae into his lap. He didn't care if Tae was almost a big boy down and was a bit too heavy to really sit in his lap, he liked to have him close. They were both stunted in some ways, both clinging to each other and this just made it easier. He hugged his brother and petted the ewok before whispering in his ear. "Minjun-hyung says Kangwoo is sick. This is him trying to be better... I think."
Kangwoo shrugged and pulled out his phone, texting Cheon to tell him he was probably not going to show tonight. Family issues and all. "I dunno, Cheon is too dumb to do anything. I don't know the same about your true love."
"Do something like what? Be nice to children? I think they'll survive that, shocking as it is." Minjun mocked a little, but tried to keep it gentle. "Look, if you don't want it, fine. Just don't say no because you are doing some posturing thing. Ten is a good person. I wouldn't be with him if he wasn't."
Tae looked at Kangwoo, a little concerned suddenly. His big hyung was sick? Oh. He didn't want that. Even if he was mean. "I hope he feels better!"
"That's a good point. You are soft. I guess... fine, while I work, you can have your dumb boyfriend over but this is a one strike system. If he fucks up once then he's out." Kangwoo got up and stretched a little, looking at the two boys on the bed. Jiho hastily covered Tae's mouth and looked up at Kangwoo, who mostly just seemed puzzled by them.
"Thank you for the presents, hyungnim." Jiho bowed and made Tae bow with him. Kangwoo just sort of nodded awkwardly.

"Whatever. I'm busy. Don't sleep all day."
