Two Are Better Than One

Chapter 6

Jung Wooyoung. Kang Yeosang.

Those were their names.

Hongjoong couldn't stop staring at the computer screen in front of them. The other members must feel the same way based on the way they all crowded around him. The Doctor, who had led them to a room, stood a couple of feet away as he allowed the members to look at the information displayed on the screen.

Jung Wooyoung. 20 years old. Classification: Full-Blooded Little

Little Headspace Range: 2 to 6 years old

Hongjoong couldn't stop staring at the headshot picture of the boy that matched the profile. The boy that he had picked up at the alleyway and had clung so tightly onto him. His name was Wooyoung. The leader continued to stare at the picture and admired every feature of the boy's face. One thing was for sure: the boy was definitely a Little, classification taken or not. In the headshot, the boy was stubbornly pouting like he didn't want to be there. He wore a light grey hoodie with his black hair just a bit over his eyes. He may not be smiling, but Hongjoong couldn't stop thinking how adorable he looked. The caregiver had only seen him in tears, bruises, and an oxygen mask before today's visit. It was reassuring to see the Little in a better physical state. Hongjoong also couldn't help but notice the baby fat in his cheeks that appeared in the headshot. Wooyoung didn't seem to have that anymore. The memory of how light Wooyoung had been when he had first carried him crossed Hongjoong's mind.

Kang Yeosang. 20 years old. Classification: Full-Blooded Little

Little Headspace Range: 2 to 6 years old

Hongjoong stared at the profile. Sangie. Yeosang. That's where the nickname had come from.

The two Littles' information were nearly identical, if it weren't for their surname and date of birth, Hongjoong may have actually believed that they were brothers, twins. Hongjoong looked over at Yeosang's headshot. In the picture, he had long wavy hair that fell just above his eyes. Much like Wooyoung, he was frowning at whoever was making him stay still for the picture. Were they both at a Littles Center? Is that why they were being forced to take a picture that they were clearly not enjoying? If they were from a Littles Center, then why were they found on the streets nearly beaten to death?

"Social Services, the ones who found their files, have already contacted the Littles Center they are filed under." The doctor explained as if he could read the caregiver's thoughts. He took a short pause. "The center informed us that Jung Wooyoung and Kang Yeosang ran away from the Littles Center over two months ago." The doctor finished with a nervous edge to his tone.

All of them quickly turned their heads to face the doctor, a look of disbelief in their features.

"Over two months?! These Littles ran away two months ago and the center didn't bother to inform the police? Update their profile? Look for them?" Seonghwa yelled in anger and pure range. How? How could you just let two full-blooded Littles leave and survive out alone on the streets?

"But they must have ran away for a reason, right? If the Little Center didn't even care that they ran away, then that probably means they were not being properly taken care of in the first place." Mingi mumbled mostly to himself, but he was loud enough for everyone to hear him.

"Social Services have already contacted the police and the Littles Center they were from is currently under investigation. The caretakers of the Center will be questioned, as well as the Littles, to see the activity that has been going on over there." The Doctor informed them. The members stayed quiet, taking everything in. They were frustrated and angry at the information being thrown at them. How could they just let Littles live in homes with unsuitable caretakers? What more has been going on down there?
