Goodnight.

When we reached my apartment, I reached for my back pocket to grab my keys and opened the door. We went inside and I removed my shoes and placed the ramen that I bought on the table.

After that, I walked over to the couch with the sleeping little boy still in my arms, then laid him there.

I went to the kitchen and grabbed the ramen that I bought, deciding to feed Yejun first then myself, and started preparing it. When I finished, I went over to the couch where the little boy had been sleeping.

I shook him gently as he started to stir awake. His eyes fluttered open and he started rubbing it, his hands forming a tiny fist as he yawned.

'Cute' I thought.

"C'mon kid. Food's ready. Then after we eat, we'll take a bath then you can sleep all you want again." I told him. He looked up at me with sleepy eyes "My name's not 'kid' it's Yejun or Jun or Junnie" he said with a pout.

"Alright, Yejun. Can you wake up for me? We still have to eat then clean you up" I asked as he nodded slowly in response.

I gently picked him up and headed to the table where I had placed the food. I sat down and placed Jungkook on my lap, noticing that his eyes were starting to close again.

"Hey, Yejun? as much as I hate waking you up, you have to eat. Who knows how long you were left alone in that alley? So please?" I told the little boy on my lap.

Thankfully, he nodded and grabbed the chopsticks that were on the table.

I giggled while watching him have difficulties holding the chopsticks. I took the utensil from him and held it properly then started to feed him until all the food was gone.

'Jeez, for someone so small, he sure does have an appetite'

I picked him up again and stood up, taking the empty cup of ramen with me to throw it away. I walked over to the couch and put down Yejun then opened the tv, switching the channel to cartoons.

"Kid? I'm just gonna prepare the bath for you. So stay here okay?" I told him as he replied with a nod, too focused on watching the puppies that were displayed on the tv.

I started preparing the bath. Filling the bathtub with warm water then throwing in a lavender-scented bath bomb, making the water look shiny and smell good.

After I was done, I went to the living room and saw Jungkook still immersed in the cartoon show, that I recognized as PJ Masks.

"Hey Jun, come on let's clean you up"

I picked him up and entered the bathroom. "Yejun-ah, do you want me to undress you, or do you want to do it yourself?" I said not wanting to do anything that may be uncomfortable to the little boy.

" 'wan Hyung to do it," he said then raised his arms up. I pulled his shirt above his head. What I saw was the most painful sight I have ever seen.

Bruises. Blue and purple.

It littered his tiny body.

'What the fuck happened to this boy?'

I decided to ignore it and ask him about it in the morning.

I then removed his shorts, but when it came to his underwear, I hesitated.

I looked up to him, looking for confirmation, he just nodded then I removed his underwear and put him in the warm bathtub.

I grabbed the vanilla-scented body wash and started scrubbing him.

After that, I rinsed the soap then put the strawberry shampoo on his head. I massaged his head, pulling on his hair gently while he splashed in the water.

I rinsed the shampoo off his head then let him play in the water for a little more.

While he played, I readied the towel and some of my clothes for him to wear in the meantime. I dug around my closet and looked for the smallest shirt I could find. I also found a spare toothbrush for Yejun to use.

'Whatever. I'll go shopping tomorrow anyway'

"C'mon Jun, it's time to dry off. You might get sick if you stay in the water for too long" I told him.

I took him out of the bathtub and wrapped him with the towel, making him look like a burrito, and put him by the sink. I grabbed the toothbrush, put a little bit of toothpaste on it, and started brushing his teeth. When we were done, I took him out of the bathroom and into the bedroom where I laid out his clothes for the night.

I dressed him up in a white shirt that was too big on him and reached his knees, making him look even tinier, and some boxers that were also too big so it served as shorts on him.

I put the towel on his head and started drying it until it was all fluffy and dry.

I looked at the time. 1:45 AM.

"Okay, Yejun-ah, time for bed. You need to rest. It must've been hard sleeping in the streets." I carried the little boy whose eyes were starting to close.

"Can you sleep on your own or do you want to sleep with me?" I asked.

"Stay with Hyung" He replied as he started to nuzzle his face on the crook of my neck and hugged me tighter.

'I guess I'll eat tomorrow'

"Okay Jun, whatever you want."

I laid us down on the bed and put the blanket over us.

" 'night, Hyung" I heard Jungkook say as he cuddled closer. After that, all I heard was his soft breathing, his lips parted slightly and his eyes were shut.

I smiled softly at the sight "Goodnight kid."

'I could get used to this.' I thought and closed my eyes. Sleep almost took over me until I remembered a very important detail.

I immediately opened my eyes and stood up quickly.

'Shit. What am I gonna tell Sungho'
