Little Stars of IZONE (On Going)

Chapter 1 : Babies?!

A typical morning had dawned at the izone dorm, with the girls engrossed in their individual activities. However, the tranquility was disrupted when Jangjorimz and Hiinako arrived, accompanied by six bewildered and frightened children who sought refuge by cowering behind the legs of the girls.

As Yujin was on the verge of swearing, Minju quickly intervened, exclaiming, "Oh my goodness!" She embraced the babies tightly, which, unfortunately, startled one of them into tears. Yena scolded Minju, saying, "Hey! Don't frighten the children, Minju!"

Eunbi inquired, "Hitomi, where did you come across them?"

Hiinako and Jangjorimz exchanged shrugs and explained, "We stumbled upon them sitting outside our dorm, so we thought it best to bring them in. One of the babies even started calling me 'dad.' It seems like they might have been abandoned." Hitomi glanced down at the frightened babies who were clinging to her legs and added, "I also found this." She then produced a piece of paper for everyone to see.

To Whom It May Concern,

I kindly request that you provide care and protection for my children. Unfortunately, I am unable to care for them due to imminent threats to my own safety. I hold a deep love for them and cannot bear the thought of them coming to harm. All of their belongings are packed in their bags.

Sean is the eldest, at 8 years old. Henry follows as the second oldest, aged 7. Carlisle is the third in line, at 6 years old. Justin is the first and youngest among them, at 5 years old. Sebastian comes next as the second youngest, aged 4. Finally, Hiroshi is the baby of our family and the youngest at 3 years old.

Please be aware that Justin has a peanut allergy, and both Hiroshi and Sebastian require the singing of their favorite song to fall asleep. Henry has asthma and should not engage in vigorous running activities. Additionally, Carlisle and Sean have a habit of playing before taking a bath.

I implore you to care for them and shower them with love. I have already completed the necessary adoption paperwork, so the decision to adopt them is in your hands. Please convey my profound love for them and let them know that I will dearly miss them.

With sincere regards,

Lee Yesoon

"Isn't Lee Yesoon the spouse of that wanted criminal, Lee Ho Beok?" Hyewon inquired.

"That's right, Hyewon. I believe that's why she mentioned her life being in danger, likely due to her association with her husband," Eunbi explained to her fellow group members.

"What's our plan of action?" Hitomi inquired, turning to Eunbi. The leader furrowed her brow in deep thought, then proceeded to contact their managers. After some time, their managers arrived and were taken aback to find the babies peacefully sleeping on the couch.

"Hitomi, where did you come across them?" Manager asked the Japanese member. Hitomi responded, "I found them right in front of our dorm. It seems they are the children of the wanted criminal Lee Ho Beok. Their mother left them and packed everything they need inside their bags."

The manager glanced at the sleeping babies and then back at Izone, saying, "I see. If you guys are unable to look after them, I'll find a way to place them in an adoption center." Just as the manager was about to wake the babies, Yujin spoke up, "No! I-I mean... we can take care of them. Their mother wants us to protect them, and that's exactly what we're going to do. Can we please take care of them, unnie?" she requested.

The group turned their attention to Yujin, clearly taken aback. The manager voiced concern, saying, "Are you certain about this? Caring for a child can be quite demanding, especially considering your busy schedule."
