"Donghyun," Misun blinked in surprise, seeing her boyfriend on the front porch. "I didn't know-"

"We're done." Donghyun shook his head, glaring at her. "I can't believe you would do this to me."

"Wh-what?" Misun's eyes widened, her heartbeat increasing. It pounded in her chest, churning her stomach, making everything hurt.

"You adopted seven kids??" Donghyun raised his voice, anger in his eyes. "What the hell is your problem?!"

"D-Donghyun." Misun turned around and saw the boys all staring, eyes wider than her own. "Can we please not-"

"What?!" Donghyun took a step forward, glaring at her, glaring at the boys. "You don't want them to hear what a monster you are?!"

Misun stared at him in shock. "Please leave." Misun shook her head, staring up at him, tears streaming down her face. "I guess we're done."

"Give me my necklace back." Donghyun looked her up and down, holding out his hand.

Misun took off his necklace, her hands shaking as she threw away three years of love. Misun took a deep breath, her lip trembling as she looked up at Donghyun. "This is it?"

"I'm not living this life with you." Donghyun stared at her with disgust. He's never looked at her like this before, never. He's always been kind, always been there. She thought he loved her.

But if he loved her, he wouldn't be walking away right now. He wouldn't be holding that necklace she's worn for three years. He wouldn't have left her crying alone.

Misun closed the door, staring at the floor as she turned back to the boys.

"Misun?" Jin whispered, taking a step forward, holding his paintbrush still. "Was that your boyfriend?"

Misun nodded, slowly sitting down on the floor, her back against the front door. "M-My ex... now."

"He broke up with you?" Hoseok held onto Yoongi's sleeve, finding slight comfort in his twin.

Misun nodded, her face breaking as she began to cry, pulling her knees to her chest.

"No!" Jungkook threw his crayons on the floor, pointing at Misun. "No!"

Jin picked up Jungkook and hurried over to Misun, not knowing what to do. "Misun..."

Misun kept crying, just pulling Jin and Jungkook into a hug, hugging them tighter than ever before. "I love you guys." She said weakly, just holding on tight.

"I know what will cheer her up." Taehyung breathed before running upstairs, running like his life depended on it.

Jimin and Hoseok hurried over, Yoongi swallowing nervously as Misun kept crying, Jungkook in her lap as Jin hugged her arm. He didn't quite understand what was going on; none of the boys knew what was happening.

But her boyfriend was an X now? That must mean he's dead, right?

"Come on." Namjoon pulled Yoongi by his hand, sitting beside him, all of the boys around Misun as she tried to collect herself.

She let herself cry for 30 seconds. She needed only 30 seconds.

Why?

You can't be the mom of 7 and have time to cry. Besides, they were all painting, she couldn't ruin painting time.

"Mimi!" Taehyung exclaimed as he ran down the stairs. Well, he had to take the steps two feet at a time, both feet on one stair before moving to the next one. That's the only way he knew how to go down the stairs. "Mimi I have something to show you!"

Misun sniffed, Jungkook patting her face as Taehyung ran over. "What..."

Taehyung handed over his frozen underwear, the item still frosted from the freezer it was shoved in. "My science experiment is finished today." Taehyung wiped his nose and then wiped his hands on his pants. "Orange juice can freeze underwear."

Misun held the frozen underwear, staring at it in slight awe. "Wow."

"You can keep it." Taheyung nodded, putting his hands behind his back as he rocked back and forth, waiting for more words. But everyone just stared. "Make it your trophy or something."

Misun just blinked, staring at the underwear, and then Taehyung. "You have such a creative mind." Misun smiled, handing it back to him. "How about you keep your trophy?"

"Oh thank you!" Taehyung gasped dramatically, putting a hand on his heart. "I was hoping you'd say no."

Misun laughed, pulling Taehyung in for a hug, all of the boys hugging or jumping on her. Jungkook decided to sing in baby babble, the loudest of them all. Misun kissed everyone's cheeks, everyone protesting or giggling. She smiled ear to ear, just loving the boys.

Donghyun was nowhere in her mind.

All she needed was the 7 boys.

Her boys.
