she wouldn't stop crying. she just wouldn't. you sighed, desperate, as you cradled the baby in your arms while wondering why on earth you agreed to take care of your little niece. you had the shoulder part of your t-shirt completely wet from the baby's tears and snot. when the tantrum got worse and didn’t seem like it was going to stop anytime sooner, you decided to go in search of the powerful weapons.

you left your niece on the couch with one of her toys and picked up your phone, opened the contact app and called the only person who could solve your problem.

after a couple of rings, he picked up. “what's wrong? you need my help already?” your boyfriend, seungmin, was on the other line.

“stop being cocky and come over. really, it seems like my sister has spoiled the kid or something. she won't stop crying, no matter what i do” you complained with a tired sigh, running a hand over your face.

“don't worry, i'm on my way” said seungmin. you could hear him grab his keys. he already knew you were going to be taking care of your niece. in fact, you had to cancel a date because of it. your boyfriend was exceptional with babies, unlike you, so you had made a little bet on how long you could go without asking for his help. he probably even had his shoes already on, waiting for your imminent call for help.

you left your phone on the coffee table and took the baby in your arms, who seemed to have calmed down a bit. you rocked her softly, trying to subsidize her cries. about ten minutes later, the doorbell rang. “thank goodness”, you thought.

with your niece in your arms, you got up to open the door. when you did, seungmin was standing with her arms crossed, smiling victoriously.

“don't start” you warned him, raising your eyebrows.

“but I didn't say anything” he said with a chuckle, stretching his arms out for you to pass the baby to him, which you did without complaint. you noticed how the little girl grabbed the fabric of the boy's t-shirt with her small hands, hiding her head in the crook of his neck. seungmin smiled, patting her back. “go get something to eat, I'm sure he's hungry.”

you closed the door as the two of them headed for the couch, where your boyfriend sat cuddling the baby. it was a lovely scene, if not for the subtle jealousy you had that your own niece preferred him to you. you went to the kitchen to get the bottle, as the baby was calm enough not to throw it all away with a tantrum.

you plopped down on the couch next to seungmin and gave him the bottle, which he took without taking his eyes off your niece. you watched as she closed her fingers around the container he put in her mouth. little by little, it seemed as if she hadn't cried. despite your envy, you couldn't help but admire your boyfriend's skill with small children, how they seemed to open up and trust him instantly.

you rested your head on seungmin's shoulder, who wrapped his free arm around yours. he left a soft kiss on your forehead and you closed your eyes at the contact. in the end, taking care of someone so young was quite exhausting.

“you're too good with her, i hate you. maybe my sister should stop calling me to babysit her and just call you instead. we'd save three-quarters of her tantrums” i pointed an accusing finger at the baby, frowning.

“and I'd be delighted. i mean, don't you see this little ball of cuteness?” he sighed, dumbfounded by the simple fact of the child.

“little devil ball, you mean” you mumbled, stucking your tongue at her. seungmin chuckled softly, pressing you a little closer against him with his arm. you scooted a little bit closer and positioned your head over his collarbone. he moved his hand to stroke your hair gently. how does he manage with the baby having me in this position?, you wondered. but you couldn't complain, you were finally comfortable after changing position countless times trying to shut your niece up.

after a while, seungmin pocked your arm. “i'm going to put her to sleep, okay?” he indicated softly. you stood upright while he secured the baby girl in his arms, who was falling asleep. he came back minutes later, crunching the bones in her neck, you were still in the same position, eyes closed. you opened one when you heard him come and sit next to you. he brushed a few rebel hairs away from your face with an amused smile, finding the whole thing fascinating for some reason.

“what are you laughing at?” you asked with a confused chuckle.

“nothing, nothing” he replied, putting his arm around you as before. “ah, and just so you know, I haven't forgotten about the bet” he whispered in your ear, teasingly.
