16 year old Jungkook
17 year old Hoseok

"Hyung, I'm leaving."

"You know you can always come live with me right?"

"No. They would only come there and make everything worse, not only for me me but for you too. I need to be away from them."

"I understand." The pale male ruffled his hair on the back of his head.

"Thanks hyung. I'll see you soon."

"See you. Call me if you need money or just give up."

"I'm not giving up."

"I know." Jungkook opened the car door with a backpack in hand and a duffel bag in the other. He walked up to the large mansion like house, having no other place to go and knocked on the door that was lit by a street lamp. He waited for a few seconds hearing shuffling and several foot steps.

"Can I help you?" A women in her forties answered the door and a little girl stood behind her leg.
"Do you have a room for me to stay in?"

"Oh, yes of course. Why don't you come in and I'll have Hoseok guide you. He's one of our two eldest. How old are you?"

"16."

"Why are you here? Sorry you don't have to answer that sometimes I ask to many questions to the new kids especially the older one's like you."

"No, it's okay. I guess you could call it running away from home. They're too strict on me and expect to much from me. I wanted to be free for once without having to hide it." They walked through a hall way and into a living room where the children silently watch them walk by. They walked into the kitchen where two other kids stood talking to one another one of them facing away from him.

"Hosoek, Jinyoung meet our new addition to the family, Jungkook. Please show him to his room."

"Hi." He bowed and smiled kindly at the older teens.

"Hi I'm Hoseok and this is Jinyoung. We're the eldest. If you need anything you can ask us or any of the other kids. We'll introduce them to you tomorrow." He smiled and his lips formed a heart that Jungkook found interesting as it was the first time he had seen anyone's lips do that. "Follow me then." Jungkook nodded his head and followed behind him his scent being normal and that disappointed Jungkook.

"Down here are the rooms for the younger one's from 2 to 8 years old. Left side of the hallway is boys right side is girls." Hoseok pointed to the hall next to the front doors. "This is also where the Aunties and Uncles of the house live. There are four in total. They're very kind people also very fun. I'm surprised by how much energy they have. Let's go upstairs next." Jungkook smiled and they walked up the stairs.

"Here is where we have the older kids from 9 to 16 and in the basement is where Jinyoung and I are. The girls are on the right and boys on the left. You're lucky you know, you get a room all to yourself. There are 12 kids in total well now 13 I guess." Hoseok opened the door to a room with enough space for a bunk bed, a dresser, and a closet. "You don't talk much do you?"

"It's not that I don't. I just don't have anything to say. Once you know me well I won't be able to shut up."

"Well then I hope you are as noisy as you say you are." Hoseok smiled and leaned against the door frame as Jungkook set his things down and sat on the bed. "Oh. I almost forgot. There are four bathroom two are up here, one on each side at the end of the hall, one down stairs near the kitchen and another one in the basement. Please make yourself at home." Hoseok smiled again before turning around and closing the door.

Jungkook rested his head on the pillow, taking out his phone and texting his hyung.

Jungkook's phone had given him a 15% or less notification, he sat up opening his backpack and searching for is charger. After finding it he looked for an outlet that was next to the dark brown desk. He plugged it in and a knock came from the door. He turned around in the swivel chair, "Yeah. Come in."

A small girl with big eyes and shoulder length hair popped her head in, then opening the door more to see her green hoodie and jean shorts that reached her knees. "uhm, Hoseokie oppa told me to come for you so you can have dinner. I-if you're hungry."

"Thank you. I'll go with you then." The girl smiled and waited for Jungkook to stand up
"What's your name?" the girl asked as they walked in the hall.

"Jungkook. And yours?"

"Seulgi."

"What a pretty name for a pretty girl." The girls cheeks turned pink at the complement.
"Thank you. I like your name too." She smiled as they had reached the dining room. The other kids already sitting down and eating their food. Hoseok held a toddler on his lap and fed him before looking up since everyone had gone silent.

"Everyone meet Jungkook."

"Hi jungkook." They said in unison, smiling.

"Hi everyone." they continued to eat and Hoseok waved his hand at him to come to his side.

"Sit. This is your spot from now on."

"Thank you."

"No need for one now." Hoseok smiled and continued to feed the small boy on his lap.
