"We know we told you guys that we won't put you in foster care again but I'm afraid that if we don't put you under someone's fostering, then the government will put you in another orphanage where you will get put in the foster system permanently. So, you both have to go to a foster family for at least a month or two." Yeong-ho explained to the two children in front of him.

Yoongi's breath hitched, hearing those words, neither him nor Taehyung wanted to get fostered or adopted, they just wanted to go back to their home, and besides, they already had enough trauma from their actual home and their previous foster father to last a lifetime, their trust in all adults -except their mother and the orphanage owners- had completely shattered. He glanced at his dongsaeng who looked like he was on the verge of crying.

"N-no hyung-nim, please, we don't want to go." Yoongi pleaded.

"We're sorry, Yoongi, we don't want to send you two away either, but we have no choice." Hye-da spoke, remorse lacing her tone.

Both the boys hung their heads low, the adults had no choice, what could they do?

"O-okay..." Taehyung mumbled.

"It's only going to be a month or two, just so we can report that you both have been getting fostered, then we'll bring you two back." Yeong-ho reassured, "There's a family willing to foster the both of you, they are coming to pick you up in two hours, get ready by then."

The duo nodded and went to their room, packing their stuff.

Two hours seemed to fly by and soon enough a car pulled up at the orphanage, a couple and one teenage boy climbed out of it and walked towards the door.

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Ahn." Hye-da bowed, ushering the family in.

"Hello Mrs.Kyung." The mother greeted, returning the gesture, "We would like to take the boys to their new home now, as we have are in a bit of hurry, if you don't mind."

"Yes, of course." Hye-da smiled and called one of the helpers there to go and get them.

"What are their names? And ages?" The father inquired.

"Well, the older boy's name is Yoongi, he's ten, and the younger boy's name is Taehyung, he just turned eight a week ago." Hye-da informed.

The family nodded.

Just then both of the kids arrived there, as soon as they saw the family, they bowed 90 degrees.

"Such well-mannered boys, you are!" The mother exclaimed, clapping her hand once.

"Indeed, anyways, we must hurry, some work has come up." The father said.

"Okay, this way, boys." The mother- Mrs.Ahn, said.

-

The Ahn household reminded the boys a lot of their home, because it was a double-faced household, just like theirs was.

On days where Mr and Mrs. Ahn's work went fine, the house would be fine as well, but if there was any trouble in their work, then the house would not be fine at all, and the boys hated those days, luckily, there were only three such days since they arrived.

"Yes, Namjoon is the smartest child in the elementary wing of our school indeed. He has aced every test he has taken. I am really glad that I got to be one of his teachers this year and I trust that he will keep up the good work." Mrs.Song said.
