Felix's POV
The four of us sat at the table eating our pancakes while minho did the washing up and chan put all the pancake making stuff away once he dried it.
The pancakes were amazing as well as the atmosphere, seungmin seemed happy. Hyunjin did too, but changbin looked like he hadnt gotten a wink of sleep at all even with that we were excited for the last two of us kids to arrive today.
" hey felix" Changbin looked my way, I nodded " is that a tattoo on your wrist?"
" hm? Oh, yeah " I pulled up my sleeve a little better, the number 034 had been tattooed on there "its my number. Well, my number in the lab. Like eleven from stranger things, but much more serious and real."
" im sorry if it's an intrusive question, but what do you mean 'the lab'?" seungmins eyebrows furrowed
" oh. Uhm, my parents took me on holiday to korea from Australia when I was younger and then just left me here. I was found by the lab and the experimented on me and all that kind of stuff before they moved location and took all the kids with them but me. Leaving me alone for a year with no escape before I was found by the authorities " I explained
" holy shit dude" Changbin gave me a sympathetic look
" I know, it sounds like some kind of Netflix movie plot " I chuckled "it's ok though. I'm here now and I hope none of you guys leave me like.....everyone else has."
" sorry I called you clingy the other day" seungmin apologised "I wouldn't have if I knew any of that "
" its okay" I nodded " I forgive you"
" dad, doesn't one of the new kids have a tattoo aswell?" Seungmin asked Chan, surprising all of us. I mean, I saw minho and chan in that way I just didn't have the guts to say it yet
" he does, but for very different reasons " chan nodded " he did them himself actually "
" that's cool" hyunjin replied "I can appreciate a fellow artist"
" yeah, that's cool and all. But how did he get access to a tatto gun and why wasnt someone watching over him to make sure he didnt tattoo himself?" Asked changbin
" its complicated " minho replied "it's not our place to tell you ,honestly. But if you're genuinely that curious he's going to be living with you and you have a right to know"
" we are curious " I said
" ok then, so basically. Jeongin didn't know his parents because they both unfortunately passed away but, he was taken in by his aunt and uncle who abused him leading him to have depression " chan explained " his uncle was a tattoo artist and left his tattoo gun lying around, so every time jeongin....attempted, he would give himself a tattoo"
" oh" we all sighed sympathetically
" do they like have a specific meaning?" Asked hyunjin
" all of the tattoos symbolise how he attempted " minho replied "oh yeah, and guys. Do not under any circumstances leave your medication lying around"
" why...?" Seungmin asked
" jisung " both chan and minho said at the same time
" what, is he gonna get high on them?"
" most probably, yes" chan nodded " hes a....complex human being "
" aren't we all?" Hyunjin chuckled
" I mean, that's true" I nodded in response
" this has been a lovely breakfast discussion" minho laughed then took my empty plate "do you want any more?"
" no I'm okay thank you" I nodded
" they should be here in a couple hours " he continued "so, if we could clean up yesterdays uno game that would be nice."
" oh, sorry mom we totally forgot about that " laughed seungmin
" it's okay hun"
" where did you get the confidence to call them mom and dad?" Hyunjin whispered to him
" I did it when I was half asleep" he shrugged "just sorta slipped out."
" ooohh" we all nodded
" ooh what?" Asked chan
" nothing " we all replied then laughed at their confused faces
This was a weird situation but it's cute. We all trust eachother weirdly, the environment is very calm and easy to relax into. Chan and minho dont yell, they buy us all the stuff we need. Berry soonie doongie dori and kkami are also very cute and like people. It's all perfect
