A/NII: Extra long chapter to make up for the wait…
“Shhh, Eunhyuk, Donghae. No, don’t go in there.” Kangin awoke to hushed whispering and immediately he buried his face in closer to his husband’s bare back. It was far too early to be up.
Then the hushed words set in and he jolted into a sitting position, the sheet that had been
pulled up pooling in his lap. “I’m so sorry, Kangin, they woke up and wouldn’t go back to sleep; they wanted to come here.”
“Tabwo…” Eunhyuk’s face appeared at the end of the bed and Donghae’s face next to it. Kangin tried not to smile, and wanted to be upset at having been woken up, but Eunhyuk’s pout wasn’t helping.
“He’ll be here…” Kangin glanced at the clock behind his husband, who was thankfully covered by the sheet. “He’ll be here soon.” Eunhyuk smiled and Donghae began to clamber onto the bed. Kangin scooted over to block his still-sleeping husband from the children, and the children from the mess he hadn’t cleaned up from the previous night.
“When?” Eunhyuk asked as he crawled over with Donghae to Kangin’s covered lap.
“I don’t know,” he answered, hoping they didn’t decide to try and climb in his lap. He was saved from worry however by a commotion at the door. Onew’s head disappeared and Tablo’s reappeared. The older man smiled at the children before examining the adults. Eunhyuk was quickly pulled off the bed, followed by Donghae.
“Did you two have fun last night?” Tablo managed to ask with a smirk before he was attacked by two small figures.
Kangin groaned and Tablo’s smile widened. “I’ll just go make breakfast then.” Tablo left, a child attached to each leg and a large smirk on his face.
Kangin sent a glance back at his husband. He would never be forgiven by Leeteuk if he chose to start something with the kids in the house, so he settled for pulling Leeteuk to his strong chest and whispering in his ear. “The children are home, Tablo’s making breakfast.”
Leeteuk mumbled and tried to wiggle his way away from Kangin’s sturdy chest causing the burly male to chuckle. Kangin’s arms snaked around Leeteuk’s waist and he flipped them both so he was on his back and Leeteuk was resting on his stomach.
“You have to get up.” He placed a delicate kiss placed on Leeteuk’s temple.
“Five more minutes,” he mumbled into Kangin’s chest.
“The kids are home, and we’re still undressed.” Leeteuk didn’t respond at first but a minute later the words seemed to finally make sense in his sleep-fogged mind and he shot up from his spot on Kangin’s torso.
“You mean they’re home.” He struck ineffectively at Kangin’s shoulder. “Why didn’t you wake me sooner what if they walked in?” Kangin found it in his best interest to not tell his husband that the children had in fact wandered into his room not to long ago; instead he stood and walked over to their dresser.
He grabbed a pair of boxers out of the top drawer and turned around to toss them at his husband. He didn’t miss Leeteuk’s eyes wandering and he smirked, tossing the article of clothing anyway. It hit Leeteuk in the head and he snapped back more or less.
“We’ll have to do that more often,” Kangin commented grabbing a pair of undergarments for himself and pulling them on quickly.
“We can’t ask Taemin and Onew to watch the kids just so we can have…”
“They sleep.” Kangin defended his dream.
“What if they had a nightmare and walked in and…?”
“None of our kids have.”
“But what if they did?” Kangin sighed as the waistband of his boxers was in place. He would drop the subject for now. Ji Yong would always interfere for him if need be.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Tablo was in the middle of preparing breakfast and being observed closely by Han Geng. He would glance over at the silent child occasionally only to see thoughtful concentration each time.
Their most recent addition, Heechul, was seated at the table and complaining. “I’m starving. Are you finished yet?” Tablo was wondering where they had dug up such a demanding child as he added a splash of soy sauce to the rice.
“It’s almost ready,” he told the child calmly.
“About time; could you be any slower?”
“Heechul!” Kangin walked fully dressed into the kitchen and gave his newest son a chastising look. Heechul smiled as innocently as he could manage at his father. “I’m sorry; he still needs to be taught manners,” Kangin said, showing clearly, with his glare, that he wasn’t fooled by Heechul’s smile.
Tablo chuckled from his spot at the stove. “I can see why you haven’t started yet. You’ve been a bit busy lately.”
Kangin’s glare lightened on Heechul and he almost wished he hadn’t corrected the child for being rude.
“Don’t get me wrong.” Tablo continued pulling the pan from the burner and smiling over his shoulder at the hulking man. “If anyone deserves a night like you two had, it would have to be you.” Donghae and Eunhyuk released the man’s legs and ran to their spots at the table. Kangin only now realized that they wouldn’t be able to cram chairs in any more, if only they could use the corners…
The rest of the kids came as the pan was set in the center and Leeteuk joined them not to long after. It was less exciting than the restaurant had been the night before, for which Kangin was grateful.
Donghae still teased Eunhyuk by stealing his chopsticks, and Heechul still complained that Tablo had made it too hot, and it was his fault that he burned his tongue. But other than that the morning was quiet. Leeteuk went off to change the children and Kangin cleaned the dishes before he got ready to go to work.
Tablo decided to hang around until he left that morning, since it was his day off. He assisted Kangin with the dishes still teasing him about his night.
He was saved answering a particularly awkward question by the ringing of the phone. Unfortunately it wasn’t for him.
He called Leeteuk from changing the kids, a difficult task since Heechul didn’t want to wear anything they had. The conversation didn’t last long but Leeteuk came into the kitchen afterwards and looked at Kangin hopefully.
“You wouldn’t be able to work from home today would you?”
“No I have to go in; I’ve rescheduled this interview five times already.” He raised an eyebrow.
“I can’t take them with me to a hospital, not all of them at least…”
“Hospital?” Tablo asked from where he was drying the dishes.
Leeteuk’s face lit up. “Tablo, today is your day off! You could watch them! Please!”
Tablo glanced at him, his eyes widening. “I-I”
“Oh, pretty please. I have to go see this boy who’s just recently gained consciousness, please.”
Tablo looked at Kangin, who was merely watching him to see what he would say. “I… Alright.”
Leeteuk missed the defeat in which the sentence was said and instead ran over to hug him tightly. “Thank you so much.”
“Just try not to bring this one home,” Tablo said, being squeezed half to death.
Kangin chuckled as he rinsed the last dish.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
And so Tablo got stuck with seven kids. Leeteuk left shortly after his husband, and Tablo was alone; alone and scared. He immediately called the only people he could think of to help him.
“Mithra, Tukutz, I need your help!” His friends arranged to help him but he still had to spend the first hour alone, with seven children.
Why had he agreed? He looked blankly for a second at the group of children who looked back at him. Eunhyuk broke from the group and went over to Tablo’s side.
“Pway.”
Tablo smiled. He had agreed because he had missed Eunhyuk. He was grateful to Leeteuk and Kangin; he knew he could never raise his brother, but it didn’t stop him from missing the child’s big goofy grin around the supermarket when he followed Junsu, imitating the older male.
Eunhyuk stood at his side even as the other children went their own ways. Donghae hung around as well. “Go play with them,” Tablo tried to encourage.
Eunhyuk smiled at him and shook his head instead following Tablo to the couch. He sat down and reached next to him to grab his bag. Looking up, he noticed not only Eunhyuk standing expectantly in front of him but Donghae as well. He smiled and repeated his advice.
“Go play with your brothers; Yesung looks pretty lonely in that corner.” Yesung was playing with a cup in the corner of the room not really seeming to mind that he was alone. Eunhyuk shook his head and climbed up onto the couch Donghae just continued standing in front of Tablo. “I’m going to be really boring Eunhyuk, I have to write…” Eunhyuk just continued smiling at him. “Why don’t you and Donghae go play with Kangin; he looks almost as bored as Yesung.” The raccoon was sitting, fast asleep, in big Kangin’s arm chair. Eunhyuk didn’t budge but Donghae was shifting his weight from foot to foot.
Tablo decided no other words would sway his brother so he just went searching through his bag for his lyric book and a pencil.
‘Monkey this is boring. Let’s go play cops and robbers.’
‘But Donghae; Tablo’s here.’
‘And he isn’t doing anything.’
‘But he’s my brother.’
‘So am I.’
Eunhyuk looked from Donghae to Tablo. He wasn’t sure what to choose, but he was taking too long choosing.
Donghae stormed out of the living room and Eunhyuk looked up from where he was contemplating. Tablo looked up too. “Why don’t you want to go play with Donghae. I thought you guys were friends.” Eunhyuk didn’t answer, instead he just moved closer to Tablo, snuggling up to his side.
Tablo couldn’t help but smile, wrapping one arm around his sibling’s small shoulders and placing his recently-acquired book on his lap.
The house was surprisingly quiet for the first hour, which actually only ended up being forty five minutes. The door bell rang and Tablo had to untangle himself from Eunhyuk and set his almost complete song aside to answer it. Eunhyuk decided that instead of following his brother to the door he would wait for him on the couch.
‘You should probably play with Donghae you know. Tablo isn’t going anywhere.’
‘Han Geng?’ Eunhyuk looked around to try and find the Chinese boy.
‘Nope, I’m not Han Geng.’
‘Then who are you? Kyuhyun?’
‘No.’
‘Yesung?’
‘No…’
‘Sungmin!’
‘No again.’
‘… Donghae?’
‘Nope.’
‘This is a hard game who are you?’
‘I’m your conscience.’
‘… my what?’
‘Conscience… I help you decide right from wrong. Good and bad, that sort of thing.’
‘Oh… does everybody have a conscience?’
‘Good people do.’
‘Does that mean Heechul doesn’t have one?’
‘… Probably not. Anyways, you should go play with Donghae. Tablo is working right now.’
‘But…’
“Donghae wants to play with you, and Tablo is busy.’
‘But…’
‘Tablo wanted you to go play with him.’
Eunhyuk looked over at the door seeing the two men Tablo was letting in.
‘Now he has friends to play with, and you can go play with Donghae.’
‘… I guess so…’
Eunhyuk pulled himself off the couch and onto the ground just as Tablo let two other adults in.
“Mithra, Tukutz, this is my brother Eunhyuk.” He smiled at them before running off to go find Donghae and apologize for not playing with him earlier.
Tablo watched him run off and smiled.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Leeteuk had arrived at the hospital after he picked up a small stuffed animal. The only information he had been given by his office was a name and a condition. He had to get the rest of the information from the receptionist.
She led him to one of the pediatric rooms. “You’ve come to talk to him?” she asked smiling warmly at Leeteuk.
“Yeah. How long has he been in a coma for?”
“We got him about a week ago, the poor thing. He had quite a bit of poison left in his system. It was surprising that he made it through. Three days ago he was put on life support. The doctors are hopeful though, if he could remain alive, that he can pull out of this coma.”
Leeteuk peeked in the door to see a small body lying on the bed. He smiled at her softly. “I’m sure he’ll be okay, can I go into talk to him now?”
She smiled and nodded. “The doctor will want to check on him in a half an hour, but you should be good until then.”
Leeteuk thanked her and went inside. He walked up to the bed and felt his heart clench as he came next to the boy.
He had tubes and IVs and several other machines to measure various functions. His life support was more or less a feeding tube, but they still wanted to keep a close watch on his pulse and respiration.
Leeteuk set the stuffed horse on the table next to the child’s bed, before fully examining him. He looked asleep except for the tubes and cords and such. He looked peaceful. Leeteuk walked around the bed to have a seat in the chair on the other side of him.
“Hi, Siwon, I’m Leeteuk.” It was a little awkward not being answered but Leeteuk had expected it. “I have seven children at home all around your age,” he continued thinking this was probably the safest topic to discuss with the unconscious boy.
“Heechul is the oldest, and the newest to our family… He’s a bit to deal with but we love him anyways. Then Hankyung, he’s the second oldest. He’s a real sweetheart; he just began talking to us, because he didn’t speak Korean at first. Then we have Sungmin, I’m still not entirely sure what to make of him. I saw him put our neighbor into a painful arm lock… but he’s been really great with Kyuhyun; getting him to interact more. Speaking of Kyuhyun, he’s the youngest but so smart, honestly he does Sudoku puzzles for fun… Yesung, he’s a bit of a loner, but we’re still working on it. He also has some self-esteem issues but we’re working on that, too. Donghae is a bit of a handful. He likes to get in trouble, I’m pretty sure, but he’s a good kid; he just likes messy things. Eunhyuk was our first and still one of our youngest, but he’s adorable. He likes to follow Donghae and the others around, but I think that’s only temporary until he finds something he’s better at than everyone else.” Leeteuk smiled reminiscing about his children.
“I’ll have to bring them all in to see you. Not all at once of course, then you’d never want to wake up. But I think two at a time; that would be a good idea. I think you’d like them. I do.” He looked over at Siwon who still had the peaceful look on his face, and maybe it was just Leeteuk’s overactive imagination but his lips seemed to be curled into a soft smile.
“Sir.” Leeteuk looked up to see the secretary standing in the doorway and smiling at him sweetly. “I’m afraid that the doctor has moved up his examination.” Leeteuk nodded and stood up.
He sent a glance back at Siwon and placed a hand on the sleeping boy’s shoulder. “I’ll be back tomorrow, and I think I’ll bring some friends.”
“You’re so kind.” The nurse was standing beside him now as he exited the hospital room. “I’m glad someone is looking out for him.” Leeteuk didn’t say anything, just smiled. “I’m working tomorrow. I hope to see you… May I ask your name?”
“Leeteuk,” he said with a cheeky grin. “And what’s yours?”
“Yoona.”
“That’s a pretty name.”
The receptionist blushed and looked down with a mumbled thanks.
“I hope to see you tomorrow as well,” and with that last sentence Leeteuk exited the hospital. He waited until he was in his car to turn his cell phone back on. He had hated leaving Tablo in the dark but he didn’t want to break hospital rules either, and Kangin would have kept his phone on.
After a moment his screen alerted him that a voice message had been left for him he checked the number. It wasn’t Kangin or Tablo but he decided to listen to it anyways, and he was glad he had.
“Leeteuk…I know we have talked about this before. How about we meet at the zoo tomorrow, around one o’clock. We’ll be by the bears…They’re his favorite. Let me know, thank you.”
Leeteuk closed his phone and sighed, he had forgotten to mention this one to Kangin. But his husband was always a very understanding person, convincing him shouldn’t be too difficult. He drove home thinking only about the message and how to inform his husband, of their soon-to-be newest addition.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Tablo was relived of babysitting duties near dinner time, so he decided to cook with the help of Mithra and Tukutz.
Leeteuk chose to fawn over the two men who were ‘taking care of Tablo for him’, by pestering the two, who took it all in good sport. Tablo just rolled his eyes and tried to focus on making dinner.
Kangin came home shortly afterwards and Leeteuk seemed to go quiet. Tablo and the other two found this strange as the man hadn’t stopped talking since he came in that afternoon. During dinner however they found out exactly why the motherly male had silenced in the wake of his husband.
“Kangin…” Leeteuk practically cooed across the table. The others stopped chewing to listen except for Donghae and Sungmin who continued babbling to their friends.
Kangin looked up from his food into the pouting eyes of his husband. “Yes?” he asked slightly skeptical of what he was going to tell him.
“Well you see, this girl that I have been working with for a year or two now, after her rape…”
“Does this story have a child at the end?” Kangin asked chewing another bite of food.
Leeteuk tried to imitate the cute smile the receptionist had given him earlier today. Kangin swallowed and looked down at his food. “We’ll have to go get another bed, but Kyuhyun has a spot in his room to share.” Leeteuk smiled and Tablo rolled his eyes while Mithra and Tukutz tried to equate adding on to the already full-size family.
Tablo and his friends left shortly after cleaning up dinner and Leeteuk and Kangin began the several hour task of getting everybody ready for bed. Eventually all the children ended up in their prospective rooms. Sungmin bunked with Eunhyuk, Donghae and Yesung had been lumped together, Kyuhyun was allowed his own room, and Heechul had been stuck with Han Geng in hopes that maybe it could tame him, a little anyways.
Han Geng didn’t mind sharing all that much, but Heechul had made a huge fit of the entire thing; until Han Geng asked if perhaps he could share with Kyuhyun allowing Heechul to have his own room. Then Heechul suddenly had a change of heart.
Han Geng simply knew how the other boys mind worked and ever since his little comment at their first appearance Heechul would do anything in his power to displease Han Geng, even at his own loss.
Han Geng used this power to help his parents and occasionally to disadvantage Heechul, but mostly as an aid for Kangin and Leeteuk. The first night was nothing unusual. Heechul made a snide comment about having to sleep with him, and Han Geng smiled at Heechul which only angered the boy further, to the point where he left him alone and just went to sleep.
This night however Heechul said nothing, which had thrown Han Geng off a bit but shortly after the lights had been turned out he could hear a soft sniffling. It took him a minute to recognize exactly what that sound was and then another minute to analyze his approach to the situation. Of all things he had anticipated coming from Heechul this wasn’t one of them. He slid out of bed quietly as not to alert the other boy and tiptoed as best he could across the room to Heechul’s bed.
As Leeteuk had once done for him when he had cried early in his adoptive life, Han Geng place a comforting hand on Heechul’s back. The problem was his gesture wasn’t as much comforting as it was alarming and Heechul nearly jumped out of his skin. He also struck out at whoever had touched him. Han Geng took the blow to his chest and said nothing as Heechul spun around. His eyes narrowed seeing who it was that had scared him.
‘What do you want? Don’t think I’m going to apologize for hitting you.’
‘You were crying… I wanted to check and see if you were okay.’
‘Then save it. I don’t need any of your mothering, thank you very much.’
Hankyung noticed the difference the word mothering made in Heechul; his lip trembled and Hankyung could tell he was holding back something. It became his job to get it out of him. The boy crawled into the bed despite Heechul’s protest.
‘What was your mom like?’
‘Why do you care?’
‘I can’t remember my mom.’ He admitted this openly as a sort of quid pro quo statement in attempt at opening Heechul up.
‘Am I supposed to feel sorry for you or something?’
‘No. I have Leeteuk and Kangin now, not to mention all of our brothers. I just want to know what some female mothers are like.’
Heechul lay for a moment not answering or acknowledging he had heard anything. Hankyung’s hand went to his shoulder and he looked away.
‘She was beautiful. I look a lot like her; at least that’s what they told me. But beauty wouldn’t make me a good fighter like Sungmin. She sent me here to protect me I know; she told me… I just can’t help feeling betrayed. They were going to take me anyway.’ Heechul sort of convulsed as he began to cry again. Han Geng just kept his hand on the boy’s shoulder. ‘She was supposed to hide me where I could stay with her… not send me further away.’
‘She loved you.’
‘I know. I sometimes wish she hadn’t. I don’t belong here.’
‘Yes you do. Because, like you said we don’t belong anywhere else, so Leeteuk and Kangin have made us a place to belong.’
Heechul didn’t answer, he just cried a little harder, and Han Geng didn’t goad him about it; he just sat there and tried to hum a tune he vaguely remembered from China, like Leeteuk had done for him. It worked; either his soothing song, or Heechul’s own crying, but something put the child to sleep and Han Geng was satisfied. He didn’t go back to his bed though, he just curled up in the corner slightly away from Heechul because who knows what Heechul would do in the morning if he knew Han Geng had touched him… he was very particular about just who touched him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning Leeteuk had planned to surprise the kids with a trip to the zoo, but there was a slight problem. Due to their little attention to television none of them actually knew what a zoo was. Sungmin was very happy to realize that Kyuhyun didn’t know either.
‘What happened to Mr. Smarty-Pants?’
‘It’s trivial information. I don’t see any need for knowing it.’
Leeteuk had explained it to them expecting to see their little faces light up, but Eunhyuk, Donghae and Yesung were the only ones who gave him the reaction he was expecting. Slightly crestfallen, he left to pick out their clothes.
‘You mean I’m going to have to walk all day. What’s the fun in that?’ Heechul glanced over at Hankyung. That morning everything had changed. Hankyung had now, in Heechul’s mind anyways, became his sort of lackey. He had begun acting pleasantly towards the boy, but would still sweetly suggest things for Han Geng to do. He had even stopped calling him by his name. ‘Hankyung, you’re going to have to carry me.’
‘It’s Han Geng.’
Heechul didn’t notice the fact that there was no application that he wouldn’t carry him. ‘But Hankyung is so much easier to say and it sounds close. From now on you are Hankyung.’
The Chinese boy didn’t say anything about the Koreanized version of his name that Heechul had come up with. He was quickly learning that with Heechul you had to pick your battles and this just wasn’t one of them.
‘You think we’ll get to see your family, Monkey?’
‘Tablo’s working today Donghae, you don’t have to worry. I’m going to play with you.’
Donghae pouted. ‘I wasn’t worried. I didn’t mean Tablo. I meant the monkeys, duh.’
This time Eunhyuk pouted.
Leeteuk came back with several pairs of similar khaki shorts and identical black tee-shirts with lime green lettering.
“But why? That’s embarrassing. Not to mention letting him win.”
“This way we won’t lose any and we can easily spot them Kangin. It’s just simpler this way. Besides it would make Ji Yong happy to know we were actually using the shirts.”
“Aww… you really do care Leeteuk.” Sungmin was on him and had his arm twisted behind his back before the adults had noticed he was there. Kangin grinned approvingly. Leeteuk on the other hand chose a more condescending look.
“Hey there Sungmin, how’ve you been?”
“We’re going to the zoo!” he said, half excitedly.
‘Awesome, you have to try and let the reptiles loose, especially those boa constrictors.”
“Don’t give them any ideas!” Leeteuk gasped. Ji Yong looked up from his arm lock and smiled at Leeteuk.
“Not to worry. They’ll forget it in five seconds anyways.”
Leeteuk nodded but his demand for Sungmin to release their neighbor came a lot slower than usual.
Once all children had been dressed in the matching outfits Ji Yong produced another ‘atrocity’ as Kangin had begun calling them. “For the one today.”
“How did you…?”
“You tapped the phones didn’t you?” Kangin asked glaring.
“Nah that’s too easy. I bugged the house. Good luck finding them though.”
“That’s illegal.”
“Think of it as extra security. You know, for when your alarm here is sleeping.” He ruffled Sungmin’s hair and the child beamed.
“Sungmin, could you please put him in the arm hold again?” Kangin asked rubbing his temples.
“No need to get hostile Kangin. I was only looking out for you.”
“Thanks, Ji Yong, but that’s not necessary,” Leeteuk cut in before this would get out of hand. “We need to get going Kangin.”
“Have fun… and watch out; you know how animals at the zoo can be. Their mating patterns are undeterminable.” Kangin would have made a very rude gesture but his kids were watching him, so he chose against it and instead began loading the car.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
They had been in the zoo for thirty minutes when Leeteuk found the bear complex. The children were every which way under Kangin’s close supervision as Leeteuk went off in search of the women he had agreed to meet.
She was standing, young, only about sixteen, and standing with a small child in front of the sleeping grizzly bear. He came up behind her and tapped her softly on the shoulder. She jumped slightly and turned around.
“Oh I didn’t think you were coming.”
“I forgot to call, I’m so sorry; my husband distracted me.”
“I heard that, Leeteuk!” Kangin shouted as he carried Donghae quickly away from the peacock the child had managed to upset.
“Anyways, I’m glad you still came.”
“Ryeowook really likes the zoo. He has ever since he was a baby.”
“Hi Ryeowook.” Leeteuk turned his attention towards the child. The boy didn’t look away from the sleeping animal he simply nodded meekly and continued watching.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” He asked tearing his eyes away from the child and fixing them instead on her.
“I have to…”
“Seohyun.”
“I have to. He’s going to fight… The courts already dropped his charges.” Leeteuk was quiet, he knew this was a fact and not something to fight. “Who’s to say they wont give him custody… I’m fifteen… I can’t…” her eyes traveled to Ryeowook and she sighed sadly.
“Will you come to see him.”
She looked away from the child. “It would be difficult… for both of us.” Leeteuk nodded to show his understanding. They stood in silence a moment both watching the child, who seemed oblivious.
After a while Seohyun produced something which she handed to her child before moving to Leeteuk. She gave him a bag of what he assumed to be Ryeowook’s belongings, and without even a whispered goodbye she left.
Ryeowook made no noise, no sign that he even knew she was gone, but Leeteuk could tell the child was well aware of her absence. He walked up next to him.
“Why do you like bears?” Ryeowook didn’t answer. “I like bears too.” Still not a word, so he squatted down to be level with the child. “What’s his name?” he asked patting the stuffed bear on it’s head.
Ryeowook looked up with tearstained eyes at Leeteuk. “Eyohun….” He choked out. Leeteuk couldn’t refrain from pulling the child into and embrace where he simply held onto him allowing the boy to cry. Ryeowook didn’t notice when Leeteuk lifted him of the ground or began walking with him in his arms. He just clung tightly to his bear. The last reminder of his mother.
A/NIII: I think this is a fitting plot for mother’s day. I apologize a million times over for the lateness and I probably have that many excuses as to why I’m late in updating as well, but I wont go into all that. Happy mothers day to everyone, even if you’re not a mom.
