Chapter Twenty-Three

Making breakfast with Johnny was better than Taeyong expected.

And throughout the bonding time between them, Taeyong found out that Johnny liked photography, which he also liked too. Apparently, he once accidentally took his cousin's camera instead of his bag on the way to the park to pick up his aunt's son. He ended up being lost when his mom went a little too fast and spent the rest of the time exploring the camera, pressing random buttons only to figure out later on he was taking blurry yet still comprehensible photos. Perhaps he could take Johnny out for a walk and have their little time together.

When Johnny placed the last plate on the mat, he went over to Taeyong who was frying eggs, that its aroma spead out and enveloped the kitchen. He had his arms wrap around the older's waist and pressed his cheek against the upper back of Taeyong. He was unusually tall for his age which makes him the giant among his brothers.

Taeyong raised a brow but smiled upon feeling the presence of Johnny behind him.  "You've been clingy."

The whole time, after Johnny did his part, or whenever Taeyong would ask him to do, the younger would always go to the male and hug him just like this. From behind, front, side. Whenever he got the chance, he'd throw his bear arms around Taeyong.

"I'm just really grateful for what you did for me earlier." Johnny replied.

Taeyong smiled at what Johnny said. But it eventually faded into a slight frown.  He's such a sweet boy, why wouldn't his parents even want him? looks shouldn't matter. They probably have a problem with their face too. Taeyong thought and turned over his shoulder to take a glance of the boy's head. He's still attached onto him.

He slid the already cooked egg down to the plate and switched off the stove. Taeyong went along to the dining table with Johnny following him like a puppy.

"Are your brothers awake?"  Taeyong questioned while plopping himself down the chair.

"At this time, not really." He shook his head and folded his arms.

"Then, let's eat first, I don't want to disturb them." Taeyong turned around and rested his hand on his shoulder.

Johnny nodded with the biggest grin.

They ended up finishing breakfast with no problem. It was a chatty, fun breakfast. After they fixed the table together and did all morning chores needed. Taeyong went up to wake the rest of the children while Johnny was already inside the bathroom taking a shower.

Today is the day where he will take the children to the Trust Care Center, in batches as agreed, of course.

Though, Taeyong was not sure if who he will bring was specific or he'll just bring whoever wants to go first.

The rest of the kids by now are already at the table. With their messy looks – and funny looking hair –dragging their utensils and putting the meals in their mouths, not much exchanged words except Donghyuck bugging Doyoung, the only noise made aside from the clinking of plates.

Taeyong reached for his wallet resting on a long, thin table just at the side and took out a buisness card Jaehyun lent him just a few days ago.  He wanted to make sure if he'll bring a specific batch or up to his own.

A few ringing on the side there once he dialed the number. It took sometime for this Jaehyun to pick up. When he did, Taeyong was greeted by the same soothing low voice that emerged from the other line. "Hello?" His voice sounded husky, or hoarse? It's as if he just woken up.

"Ah, Sir Jung. Hi." It sounded so casual Jaehyun nearly fell off his chair.

"Yes? Concerns?" Jaehyun was by the mirror and titivated his hair, just to enrich his outward appearance.
