Baekhyun's POV

I went into my room and collapsed on the bed. Did that really just happen? Are Sehun and Chaerin really gone? I thought about what has just happened and felt terrible. How could I just stand there and let Ms Song hurt Chaerin like that? If Sehun could do it why couldn't I do it? Am I too selfish?

The whole night, I tossed and turned. How can I just sleep here comfortably while Chaerin and Sehun might be homeless on the streets? I got up from bed and looked at the clock. 3 a.m.

Creeping out of the room, I tiptoed to the living room and sat on the sofa. Where could they be? Do you think Sehun has found Chaerin by now? I stayed there, making a list of places that they could be at. Next, I took three duffle bags and packed one with my things, one with Chaerin's things and one with Sehun's things. I was surprisingly quite silent, hence not waking anybody up.

5.30 a.m. Am I really doing this? I stood at the door and thought hard about this choice that I was going to make. But look at Ms Song and Joy. They look like utter brats and I have a feeling that they will be bossing everyone around. Father said that life here will be happy. Is he telling the truth? Finally, I opened the door with the list in my hand. I'm sorry Father, I'm sorry brothers. I cannot stay here any longer. This is no longer home.

Chaerin's POV

"Chaerin!" I looked to the left and then to the right. There on the stairs was Sehun and there at the door was...Baekhyun? The two of them rushed towards me and we all hugged each other tightly.

"Oh my gosh Chaerin I finally found you." Baekhyun whispered as he smiled. Sehun was still very confused and the four of us just sat there and pieced all our stories together until where we were sitting then.

"Oh I see...so this is the house of Mother's best friend!" Sehun laughed and I nodded my head. "That's a good thing that I fainted here then." The four of us rolled our eyes and hit him playfully.

Mrs Jeon's POV

My husband, Siwon, and I hid behind the kitchen door and watched as our son sat there talking happily with those three kids. It was such a heartwarming sight as him being the only child resulted in loneliness from time to time. Sure, he had six other friends- Jimin, Hoseok, Namjoon, Seokjin, Taehyung and Yoongi- but he didn't have them to keep him company all the time. As Siwon was the head doctor and CEO of the biggest hospital in Korea and I was the founder of the biggest fashion line in Korea, our family was well-to-do. But what was the point of big houses, big cars but no warmth and liveliness in the home? (no more dream cough cough pun cough)

"He looks happy, Siwon." I smiled as I looked at my husband. He nodded his head and smiled back.

"So, how are you two going to explain to Father when you get back huh?" I heard Chaerin ask and I listened even closer.

"We...we are not going back."

"What?!"

"Actually Father doesn't even know that I left."

"What?!"

These kids, leaving home as if it's nothing. Then again, their home isn't really a home anymore.

"What are you two going to do?" My son asked worriedly and I frowned.

"Do you think we can provide for three more children?" I blurted out and surprisingly, Siwon nodded his head.

"I'm sure that is fine. It would do Jungkook good anyway. He will have company at home. But what would Hongbin say? Will he let us keep his children?" I thought for awhile.

"He hasn't even sent anyone to look for them and based on what the kids said just now, he sure doesn't care about them anymore. He only cares for Ms Song and what's her daughter's name? Oh right, Joy."

"Why don't we just keep them here first. If he comes, he comes." Siwon said and I agreed. They are better off here anyway.

I couldn't believe that Hongbin, the CEO of the second biggest hospital, would ever turn out to be such a horrible father. I thought of my late best friend who used to run my fashion industry with me. Jihyo's death must have really impacted him. Either that, or its Ms Song.

"So, time to tell them?" Siwon asked and I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Let's do it."

Jungkook's POV

"Kids, pause your talk for a second. Can we discuss something with you all now?" The four of us turned our heads and nodded them.

"Oh...okay!" I replied and we sat at the dining table.

"What is it Mrs Jeon?" Chaerin asked and my parents smiled at us.

"You three punks have no homes now isn't it?" Sehun and Baekhyun blushed, embarrassed and my parents laughed.

"Now our Jungkook here is lonely..."Father pouted and it was my turn to feel embarrassed.

"He needs some siblings..." Mother faked a sigh. "Where can we find two brothers and a sister for him?"

The four of us stared at my parents. They stared back. The silence was broken when Sehun jumped up followed by Baekhyun then Chaerin.

"Are you serious?" They all shouted as they ran to give my parents a hug. I leapt up from my seat and joined in.

"We will be the happiest family ever!" Baekhyun shouted and we all laughed, all except Sehun.

"But we aren't really related. So..." Sehun patted Chaerin's head and we all laughed.

"Yah! Sehun! What's the meaning of that?" Chaerin scrunched up her nose cutely.

"I might just fall in love with you Chaerin~" Sehun sighed. Chaerin blushed and Baekhyun and I snickered. They look so cute together! Looks like Baek and I would need to be match makers from now onwards.

Sehun's POV

"I might just fall in love with you Chaerin~" I sighed and Chaerin blushed. She looks so cute. Then I mentally slapped myself. What am I thinking? Baekhyun and Jungkook snickered and I glared playfully at them. Maybe I already have.

Chaerin's POV

All this while I thought that Sehun was my brother. Is my feelings for him just sibling love that I felt or is it...
