The divorce had gone through and most of the time MinHa and MinHo seemed to be practically living in Soobin's place rather than their parents.

Seeing as MinHo has been doing better mentally and can now focus on school, MinHa felt at ease.

Soobin and MinHa's relationship seemed to deepen as they had something they could relate to and found comfort in one another.

Soobin couldn't lie, he fell for her. During the time they spent with one another, it was hard not to. He fell in love with everything about her.

MinHo played Cupid trying to get the two together. He was often frustrated at their confusion of their feelings.

—

"All they do is flirt." MinHo grumbled watching the two help each other at the tteokbokki buffet while MinHo sat in his seat waiting for the two.

He seen the two blush when their hands brushed against one another causing him to scoff.

"Are you kidding me?"

—

"Soobin, MinHo and I are going to stay with our mom for a few days..."

"Okay, I'll drop you off there tonight. Just let me know when to pick you guys up." He smiled at the two, feeding MinHo a peace of fish cake.

"형." MinHo called out.

"Yes bubs?" Soobin gave him all his attention and MinHo cleated his throat causing the two to smile at his serious manner.

"You should meet our parents." Saying that caused Soobin to choke on air.

"I mean, we practically live with you, should you meet our parents?" Soobin faced MinHa who was just as shocked as him.

"I- I guess." Soobin responded.

"Okay, come with us tonight and stay with us. You can sleep with me in my room!" MinHo smiled and made his way onto Soobin's lap.

"Okay bubs."

MinHa smiled at their bond, they really cared about one another. MinHo felt safe in his arms. It took a while for MinHo to open up to Soobin, but they clicked after doing a few things MinHo liked.

She watched as Soobin fed him and she didn't hesitate to bring out her phone to take a picture of the two, setting that as her home screen wallpaper.

"Can you send that to me?" Soobin questioned, MinHa nodded and immediately sent the picture.

It wasn't unusual for them to do that, considering MinHo was his lock screen wallpaper.

—

The three packed a bag of 4 days worth of clothes and headed to Soobin's car.

As they trio drove to MinHo and MinHa's mother's house they sang and listened to music.

MinHo froze as he seen his mother at the door. Soobin noticed that and carried him as well as his bag and followed MinHa to the house.

"Mother..."

"Hi, come inside." Their mother smiled at them and they walked into the house to the living room.

"Hi MinHo." Their mother couldn't help but tear up as she noticed he was scared of her.

MinHo wouldn't leave Soobin's hold and didn't plan to.

"Bubs, why don't you hug your mom? You know, she loves you so much." Soobin whispered into his ear.

"I'm scared" he whispered back.

"There's nothing to be scared of bubs, I'm right here. Nothing will happen, okay?" Soobin reassured the kid and he nodded in his chest. Soobin placed him down and MinHo faced his mother and slowly walked up to her and gave her a hug.

Soobin and Ms.Ahn (MinHo and MinHa's mother) sat on the dinner table and dipped some tea while the other two unpacked their items.

"Thank you for taking care of the two." She smiled at him.

"Thank you for letting me do so." He thanked her back.

"They seem more comfortable around you. But, I heard that they are living with you and that the three of you are the only ones in the house." Her voice became more serious.

"A-ah, nothing like that will happen Ms.Ahn. I respect MinHa and will never touch her in that way, especially considering that we're in high school, we both know our priorities."

"What I'm saying is, I want my children to live with me." That phrase angered Soobin.

"I don't want to." MinHo walked towards the two.

"I want to live with Soobin 형." MinHo jumped into his arms and Soobin gladly secured him.

"Why don't you all live with me?"
