"Hyung! Wanna open our albums together?"
"Sure, darling, and then I have to make some phone calls."
"Ok! Let's go!" Mark pulls Taeyong to the table and hands him his albums. "Who'd you get? Who'd you get?"
"Well, let's see." Taeyong laughs sweetly, opening the albums and putting the photocards face down on the table. "Wanna guess?"
"Hm, I think Seungcheol hyung, Minghao hyung, and Wonwoo hyung," Mark replies, pointing at each card.
"Let's see." Taeyong flips the cards. "Ah, Seungcheol, Joshua, and Mingyu. So you got one right."
"Well, let's see who I got. The only one I don't have is Winwin hyung."
"Open it and let's see!"
Mark opens the album, smiling brightly when he sees the exact photocard of Winwin that he needs.
"Aw, look how cute," Taeyong coos. "How about you go show him while I make those phone calls, yeah?"
"Ok, hyung."
Mark skips off down the hall and as soon as he's out of sight, Taeyong goes to his room. There he finds his roommate, Jaehyun, and the rest of the older boys, Taeil, Johnny, Yuta, Kun, Doyoung, and Ten.
"Johnny has the company on the phone and Doyoung has the lawyers," Jaehyun takes Taeyong's hand. "How's Mark?"
"He's ok, I think."
"And you? How are you, Tae?"
"I'm good. I just really don't wanna have to deal with his parents again."
"Oh, right," Jaehyun says, dragging out the words. "You were the one that saved him from his parents."
"Well, yeah. I couldn't let him go back to people that abused him."
"I know you couldn't, sweetheart. It's one of the things I love about you."
"L-Love?"
"Did you just stutter? It was cute, and yes, I love you."
"I love you, too."
"Hyung, I got through to the lawyers," Doyoung interrupts.
"Ok, darling, let me have the phone."
As Taeyong takes the call, Jaehyun and Doyoung share a look as they discreetly watch their hyung.
Jaehyun can see the others by Johnny, watching as he speaks to people from the company.
As soon as Taeyong hangs up the phone, he lays down across Jaehyun and Doyoung's laps. He nuzzles his face into Jaehyun's stomach and sighs.
"We can take a break if you need one," Jaehyun suggests.
