Hi 👉🏻👈🏻 I've come back!! With Parents! Arirang! 🥰🥰

I'm having some headcanons about Parents and Baby Arirang, but I want to continue more on the idea of sick baby Arirang 😔

This in particular was a catastrophic event for the Parents™️, but also the rest of the members.

I feel that as first time parents, Arirang would be needing help b̶a̶b̶y̶s̶i̶t̶t̶e̶r̶s̶ with the Baby. And the guys love the Baby 🥺 I can imagine Mimo making his only hyung the first one to hold Baby, and boy does Channie bawl (inwardly and outwardly) as the sight of a very pink wrinkly face who is twitchy and yawning away in content. Everyone got teary, bawling (Channie), getting snotty nose (Jilix), and bright red eyes, barely holding themselves together (Hyunbinmin) because wdym their very own and precious Lee Know hyung and Innie got their teeny version?? Are they not supposed to smother Baby with all the love they got?? They're a new member of the family, c'mon.

So TLDR the members love love and adore Baby so so much (cue Seunglix always trying to pack Baby up in a duffle bag -obviously it's lined up with the sofest blankies- and Innie wrangling them back together inside the house, with Baby giggling away. This is the 7th time. Innie needs rest. He won't be getting any).
HOWEVER, no matter how much the members love their Arirang, Parents Arirang are on a new level of deranged.

Mimo, who goes through 5 outfit changes for Baby, including a onesie, baby gloves, and socks because he thinks that Baby is not breathing correctly?? Brother what? he checks the breathing pattern of the baby by hearing how many breathes they are inhaling and exhaling. A little offbeat, and the clothes are changed, because he feels that the baby clothes are weighing down in the bag and therefore they cannot breathe well 🫨. That's it. Just imagine it's 2:57am, and Mimo is looming over the baby bassinet as a disembodied figure, checking for the puffs of air emitted out of a tiny mouth.

Innie is,, hm. He's had a younger sibling, so you'd assume he got this in the bag. He don't got it  :/

You know how babies sleep in the most weird positions possible (I had to deal with my nieces and nephews 🥲)?? Yea well, for Innie it's a huge NO. Baby suddenly tumbled on their back and is sleeping with face down? Innie's fox sense literally dragged him out of his seldom sleep, and to the bassinet where Baby is honk mimi'ng peacefully, but Innie goes panik! And tries to make Baby sleep on side, as SUGGESTED by the doctor. Not instructed, but suggested. For the new time parents, that became the law. Baby sleeping on their tummy?? What if they are not being able to breathe well??? Baby is sleeping on the back?? I don't think it's good for digestion!!!! Baby sleeping with their feet up?? It's not good for the development of their lower body!!!! Baby sleeping with their teeny arms up?? It's not fucking good for their upper body development oh my fucking gosh????!!!!

(Innie's trying his best, but he's also being a Lil delusional 🥺 he loves their little Baby sosososo much, that they can never ever cope if Baby is sad in some way or another :(()

The members knows this and loves them a lot, but being woken up after midnight on a Wednesday night is rather than unpleasant event.

The Parents are rightfully protective of their baby, and the hygeine of the house (maintained by Mimo), the laundry of Baby (maintained by Innie) and yearly shots (the Parents can barely keep it together, but they u̶n̶s̶u̶c̶c̶e̶s̶s̶f̶u̶l̶l̶y̶ try). However, what they didn't take into consideration are  the seasonal flu.

I can imagine that it started when Mimo was holding the baby against his chest and nuzzling into the teeny dimple which was coming out, when a small sneeze shook the baby startled, and Mimo went blink blink at the baby. And Baby sent the blink blink signal too, but again sneezing twice, thrice, four times, until they became a Lil snotty. Within the second sneeze itself, Mimo got a tissue out of nowhere and wiped the little nose (Let's be honest, he already has tissues lying around in every corner of the house to ensure that there is no wet floor where his baby can trip and fall) But the sneezes are not stopping and the babies nose got vaguely red. Mimo got really worried and of course called out for Innie, who was meticulously setting up a new fresh set of clothes which purchased again for the nth time. Mimo can't handle the amount of parcels in his house any longer, but he's too sleep deprived and heart eyed for his Innie to reprimand.

Innie came running down the stairs, almost tripping in his feet and came across his hyung w̶i̶f̶e̶ and Baby, with the latter's steadily getting redder :( and continuously sneezing in tiny :(. The Parents are worried. They tried to calm Baby for hours by carrying them all around, giving milk, wiping their nose, patting their teeny face with a soft wet wipes, but it's not working. Baby was getting fussier every minute, sneezing until their little button nose hurts, whimpering, and the Parents are going more and more worried and it's 2:17am and they have plans in the morning to go to Hyunsung's house (they are dating 😌) and they can't find their fucking phone to call their Channie hyung and then Baby started crying and now either of them would start crying (Mimo would break first).

Innie has been cooing continuously at Baby, singing a lullaby while Mimo hurriedly searched for his phone in their room (he can't bear to hear his baby cry :c).
Innie called out worriedly that Baby is a little warm and hurriedly unbuttoned the onesie to cool their little body down. Mimo rushed to the living room with his phone and he silently leaned over the baby to check the breathing. They were breathing faster due to the cold, but our new Parents took it as a RED sign that the baby cannot breathe and Innie, baby, I don't think,,, Baby is breathing well,,, fuckfuck we need to take them to the hospital shit, how did this happen they were so happy but now why did this happen,,, oh Mimo :( Worried Wife=Worried Innie (Innie has good amount of braincells, but he loses it in front of his Mimo hyung, so they always share one). Cue both of them panicking and the baby crying and everything's going downhill.

It's around 2:30 AM and they are in their pajamas. And they run the fuck out of the house in slippers, with Innie carrying a crying baby, and Mimo doing an Olympic sprint at his house to grab his car keys and rush out and get in the car to rush to the ER.

Imagine you are Channie, who is well tired after a deep cleaning session in your house (Binnie tried, but he was being more cute than helpful 🥰), light some lightly scented candles, with dim lights, and cuddle with your buff af fiance (Binchan is so 🫣) when your phone goes off at 2:35am??? Wtf?? And it's Innie on the other end, with his voice reaching a pitch that only the dolphins can hear and there's loud crying and Mimo is screeching at a rando to KEEP YOUR CAR MOVING YOU DIPSHIT YOU PIECE OF WORK MY BABY IS UNWELL AND YOU HAVE THE GALL TO SLOW DOWN RIGHT NOW???? (The rando: 🧍🏻‍♂️🥲). Channie is ❔❔ and Binnie is slowly waking up, all sleepy and grumpy and skrunkly and pouty at the noise (it is to be noted that Channie's phone was not in speaker, but the chaos was so loud that it may as well be in speaker) and Channie wants to kith all over that but first. Wtf is going on ❔

Now Innie screeching has become a little audible; CHANNIE HYUNG OUR BABY IS NOT WELL AND WE DONT KNOW WHATS WRONG THEY WERE ALL GIGGLY AND SMILY AND RUBBING THEIR FLUFFY CHEEKS AGAINST MIMO HYUNG AND SUDDENLY BABY STARTED SNEEZING AND NOW THEYRE ALL RED (just a little red) AND THEY CANNOT BREATHE AT ALL (they can breathe, just having difficulty due to snot) AND THEY'RE SO SO HOT (Baby is a little warm) AND THEY'RE CRYING PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY ARE IN SO MUCH PAIN (Baby is crying because it's their first time getting sick) AND WE'RE TAKING THEM TO THE ER FUCK WHAT IF SOMETHING IS WRONG AND I NEED TO CALL MY EOMMA AND MY SIEOMEONI AND,,,, Innie's voice again went screech mode why Channie and Binnie are all now wide awake worried because their Baby is going ER?? Their itty bitty Baby and ER?? Cue another couple panicking and almost running out of the house half-naked (they covered up tho).

Innie managed to screech mode into Hyunsung's household (Hyun got startled by the resident dolphin so hard that he accidentally hit his Hanji,,,, and now he's sporting a swell on his lip,,, grumpy Hanji making an appearance but it melted away into 🧍🏻‍♂️❔after hearing Mimo cussing out a crow )(Seung trying to reassure his screeching Maknae that Innie I think Baby might be having a little cold due to change in weather so it's okay, don't worry, please tell Mimo to not cursing every individual at Latin atp and PLEASE calm down but Lix is now panik and going OMG SEUNGIE OUR BABY IS GOING ER HOW DID THIS HAPPEN I LITERALLY SPOKE TO THEM AND THEY ARE WERE TALKING SO MCUH AND Lix now dragging a 🙃 Seung out.

The Parents literally burst into the hospital and went to the receptionist and word vomitting the baby's symptoms, then Binchan, Hyunsung, and Seunglix rushing in, looking rumpled and almost haggard with Binnie calming his near-hysterical Mimo hyung and then the some nurses came in with a gurney for Baby and Innie went near-hysterical pt2 because their baby? In a gurney? While SeungChan is talking with the doctor, Waxingracha calming their Innie. The baby (after lot of placating) was taken to the ER. And silence.

(The rest of the patients and their family in the reception: 👁️👄👁️)

I'm imagining the doctor coming out with a gentle smile on their face after a few minutes and the Parents who were huddled and squeezed themselves against each other were ready to tell him off because why tf is he smiling when our baby might be in pain or worse??? (Binnie is holding back Innie with his entire strength while Seung and Hyun are holding back Mimo with sheer will bc he cannot set a curse on the fucking doctor, wtf)

It's a mild cold. Very small, and Baby would get better in 2-3 days. The cold has taken place due to the changing weather and since Baby is just around 5months old, it's very common for them to get sick.

,,,Arirang went wide eyes at each other and ?? Mimo slowly stood up (with Seunjin hanging off his arm lol) and informed that Baby usually breathes around 45 breathes every minute while they are awake and eating, 48 breathes every minute while they get excited or when playing with their plushies, and 39 breathes every minute they sleep and it switches from 37-39 right before they starts crying for milk. However, before rushing to the ER, baby's breathing has went from a rampant 46 breathes to 57 breathes per minute and their cheeks became 7 percent much more redder than when they usually cry and their pitch in crying is slightly much more than usual.

The rest (sans Innie because his Lee Know hyung is so right) just silently turned their head towards their very normal Lee Lee Know, and are ❔❔❔ What ❔

Instead the doctor smiled wider and said that it's normal for babies breathing rate to increase as their nose gets blocked quite easily, and turning red is very common due to the slight SLIGHT warmth.

Baby was not breathing? They were breathing, but was a little difficult due to the cold
Baby was all red? That's because of a little warmth!
Baby was crying a lot? They were just overwhelmed due to the cold!

The doctors again assured that Baby would've gotten well at home by opening up their nose canal and it would've been alright and the Parents went oh gently.

But! Seeing is believing, so you best believe that the 8 men flooded into a tiny room, almost scared the crap out of a poor nurse, but Baby was all smiley!! And happy!! And was all wiggly and giggly at the sight of their Parents!! And Uncles!! Their fat chubby arms reaching towards their Parents and they're wiggling their chubby little legs and the Parents just,,, rush towards their baby, kissing all over their little face and dimples!! While the uncle's smiled at the scene and surrounded them, cooing at the baby softly.

(Lino-yah, Iyennie,,, how did you come to the conclusion to not call the hospital, but instead rush up to the ER??? That one grandma still has her hand on her chest when we passed her by! HYUNGGGGGGG I bust my lip bc of you, because who screams that loud at a bicycle of all??? Hyung, I panicked and brought some brownies which I made 👉🏻👈🏻 now that Baby would be all good, we can have this in celebration! ,,,As a compensation, Channie hyung and me, we'll be taking Baby over to our house next weekend (maybe planning future baby? 🤫). . .,, I told you two dummies that Baby is just having a minor cold 🙃 (Seung is a Lil grumpy, but no one takes him seriously as he gently plays with Baby's wiggly toes, why Hyun is trying to nomnom their cheekies. Mimo and Innie were quietly sitting on the hospital bed, with Mimo holding their baby in his lap, and Innie cuddled up against him, firm hands on his wife's waist as he takes in his little ball of sunshine giggling away with joy.

Omg 😱 I cannot believe it's so so long I'm so sorry 😔 but I like Parents Arirang, who are so headstrong in their own light, but bumblimg and trying and nervous in matters concerning their baby, because that's their everything :( their little wiggly baby :( little dimply baby :( who always deserves happiness :((

I've not been able to come up with any names of the baby, but I would love to hear some suggestion from you 🥹 as for the gender, my mind immediately went: Parents Arirang with their baby girl and 🧚🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️

Thank you for liking my silly ideas 🥺👉🏻👈🏻
