Felix's POV

"Eo- eomma please don't leave us. Eomma. Im sorry... I'll be a good boy." I say kneeling on the ground as Minho cried in the corner of the room.

Mom walked out of the house, leaving us with Dad.

"Come on get off the floor now." He said harshly picking me up.

"Appa, eomma left. I need to go to her." I cried but he smacked me.

"We will not speak of her in this house. Your mom left us, shes dead to us now." He said pulling us to our rooms.

I woke up, my face covered in beads of sweat. I hate sleeping alone, i always get nightmares of the past. I walked over to Hyunjin's bed. I poked the side of his cheek and he stirred.

"H-Hyunjin?"

"Huh?"

"Its fine." I walked back but he pulled me into bed.

"Shh, its gonna be okay." He rubbed my back and i cuddled into him.

Chaeryeong's POV

"Chaeryeong?" I hummed in response.

"C-can i cuddle with you?"

"W-why?"

"Because i miss feeling the warmth of your body."

"Ok then." She climed into my bed and snuggled into my chest. Always thought it would be the other way around but i like this.

"You know i get jealous of you." I stared down at her.

"Why?" I asked and she sighed.

"I just envy you and your family. You get 3 loving cousins. You get everything you want. You guys are the perfect family. Don't have to worry about rent thats due or any bills. You just so put together." She said, i noticed the sadness.

"What do you mean? My family is not that put together as you think, we also have our s-scars." I ran my fingers through her hair.

She scoffed, "Who are you kidding."

"Well what is not perfect about your family? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." I said.

"Well... it was all well when Hyunjin and i were 5 we were a happy family. That was until we found out that dad had cheated on my mom one night and got another women pregnant due to a drunken mistake, the women was Niki's mom. She died because of lung cancer and my dad had always known about him and took him in after his mom died." She sighed.

"You don't have to continue if you don't want to." I said and she shook her head indicating she wanted to tell me.

"Our mom refused to raise someone else's child and got divorced and left us. After mom left we fell behind on bills and rent, dad would come home drunk almost everyday. 2 years later dad committed suicide leaving us to the bills and debts that he owed people. We had no other family since they all abandoned us. We were raised in an orphanage, after Niki had found out about how we ended up in the orphanage, he blamed himself for years and even developed depression." Her tears streamed down her face and my chest was getting wet but i didn't really care.

"S-so when Hyunjin and I were legal adults we left the orphanage and i adopted Niki. Now we rent our own apartment but we fell behind on bills and school fees because i wouldn't get paid much from part time jobs, thats when i decided to drop out of school and got a job near our apartment. Do i regret it? Not at all. I met your parents at the café i work at where they offered me the babysitting job. I'm happy i took it, or else i wouldn't have met you." I hugged her tightly and rubbed her back.

She wiped her tears then pulled me into a long and passionate kiss.

"I've been waiting to do that this whole day." I chuckled then pecked her lips.

"So what are we now. I mean we obviously like each other?" i asked.

"I don't know. What do you want us to be?" She asked.

"I don't know either."

"Well lets just live the moment i guess." She said cuddling back into me as we both fell asleep.

A/N: just a little bit of Felix and Minho's past, they grew up with no mother so they think of chaeryeong's mom as their mother figure
