youngjun adoption update

after being promoted to being youngjun's foster guardian, for the time being, mayse cut all contact the boy had with his biological family and had thought of even changing his surname name but chose against it. the female's main goal was to find a loving home for youngjun to live in and thankfully, she had received a few calls about possibly adopting him however neither one youngjun were a fan of. currently, the nct member sat on her couch, a cup of tea in her hands as she watched the small child play with her dog; juniper.

"noona, are you okay?" youngjun's figure suddenly appeared before her, staring into her eyes with a concerned gaze and a small pout that had been slowly forming - his body slightly swaying side to side as he stood in his stop. smiling, mayse sets her tea down and brings the boy into a comforting hug - explaining to him how she was merely thinking about his future home although he protested of not wanting to leave her. "i don't want to leave noona..." his voice gets quieter as he pouts at the young adult who gives the boy a smile.

mayse then thought back to a previous conversation she had shared with both jaehyun and jinghua separately about the two wanting to start a family and how they had been trying for a baby. the couple had met youngjun a few times when mayse brought him to the company or to their hangouts outside of work and to say the least, the boy was a fan of the two. "jun-ah, what are your thoughts on uncle jae and auntie jiae?" the female asked the small child who now sits next to her, playing with the fluffy blanket on the furniture.

"uncle jae and auntie jiae? they're nice! uncle jae treats me like his son and - and auntie jiae plays with me when she visits! and we make cookies!" he beams. mayse smiles, noticing how the boy's eyes lit up when the couple's names were thrown into the conversation. the nct member had talked to the pair of possible adopting youngjun and both jaehyun and jinghua considered it independently and had to not given mayse a proper answer due to needing the other's opinion. "can we see them soon? uncle jae and auntie jiae?"

"i'm sure we can," mayse smiles before she hears and sees her phone ringing and vibrating against the coffee table in front of them. grabbing the device and seeing jinghua's contact, the female answers the call and tells youngjun to play on his own as she walked into the kitchen. "hey unnie, what's up?"

"yoonoh and i talked," she said briefly, her tone unreadable as mayse hums, wanting the seventeen member to continue her sentence. "we'll adopt him. we'll adopt youngjun."
