"Yes," Yeongsoo said finally, his voice quiet but resolute. "I'm ready."

Sean tilted his head, his expression softening slightly. "You sure about that? Because once you commit to this, there's no half-assing it. Suho deserves better than someone who's going to bail when things get tough."

"I don't bail," Yeongsoo said firmly, his gaze unwavering. "He's already a part of my life. Haeun and I both made that decision when we took him in. I'm not going to let him down."

Sean nodded slowly, a flicker of respect crossing his face. "Alright, then. Just don't forget what you're getting into. That kid's going to need more than protection. He's going to need love, patience, and a hell of a lot of understanding. Think you've got that in you?"
