~Weeks Later~

"I told you everything would work out in the end." Hanbin tells Zhang Hao as as tears roll down Zhang Hao's face.

"Hao, why are you crying?" Yujin frowns.

"I'm just really happy." Zhang Hao tells him. "We were finally able to adopt you."

"But what is that?" He asks, confused. "What is to adopt?"

"It means that starting today you'll be living with us." Hanbin tells him. "Are you ready to see your new home?"

"Is it the big giant house we saw last time?"

"Yes it is." Hanbin nods and can't help but smile. "That's the house we'll be living in from now on. Are you happy?"

"Of course! I can finally live with you two. We've been going out a lot these days! Are we going to continue going out?"

"Of course we are." Zhang Hao nods. "But you're starting school soon, so it'll have to be after."

"School?" Yujin frowns. "Why do I have to go there?"

"Every little kid has to go to school." Zhang Hao tells him. "You'll be able to make a lot of friends there."

"But that's what you said about the orphanage and I didn't make any friends... what if no one likes me?"

Hanbin and Zhang Hao just look at each other, then back at Yujin. He's only five and he's already thinking that way. It breaks their heart. Hanbin reaches for Yujin's hand as Yujin looks down and frowns.

"The kids at the orphanage might have been mean, but that doesn't mean everyone you meet will be the same. I'm sure you'll end up meeting a lot of new friends in your school... And if that's not the case and someone bothers you, just let me know and I'll put them in their place."

"What are you going to do?" Yujin looks up at him. "Aren't you too old to fight with kids?"

"Too old?" Hanbin asks in disbelief. "Too old?" He repeats and looks at Zhang Hao. "He said I'm too old." He points at Yujin.

"Yujin, Hanbin's younger than me. Does that mean I'm old too?" Zhang Hao asks him. Both Hanbin and Hao look at Yujin, waiting for his answer.

"Yes, you are."

"What?" Zhang Hao scoffs and he and Hanbin look at each other in disbelief.

"Okay, maybe not too old. You're not grandpas yet." Yujin tells them. "But come on, let's go home!" He rushes towards his side of the car.

"This kid." Zhang Hao shakes his head and smiles before helping him get in his car seat. After they all get in the car, they start driving to their new home.

"Are you ready to see how the inside of the house looks?" Hanbin asks them once they finally arrive to the house.

"Yes! Yes!" Yujin jumps up and down. "I want to see my room!"

"Come on, then." Hanbin unlocks the front door before they walk in. "What room should we see first?"

"Mine! Mine!" Yujin tells him, excitedly. "I want to see my room."

"Okay, come on." Hanbin reaches for his hand. "It's this way. Be careful with the stairs."

Zhang Hao still can't believe he'll be living in this house for the next four months. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't excited to see how Hanbin decorated the place. He hasn't been in this house since they came to check it out when it was all empty.

"Are you ready? Three... two... one." Hanbin opens the door to Yujin's room and Yujin gasps.

"It's blue! And there's dinosaurs!" He screams. "And so many toys! And a dinosaur bed! And more toys! I love it! I love it! I love it!" He jumps up and down. "Thank you, Hanbin!" He immediately hugs him, then goes back to look around his room.
