" I'm sorry Seungcheol-ah. I'm sure the next family will definitely love you and take you home. Don't worry too much about it, okay?" the older woman's hands ran through the young boy's hair as he tried to hold in his tears.
That was the 5th family this month that showed him interest but gave up on him as soon as they knew how old he was. He was fed up with being rejected multiple times and being told the same thing every time.
It's all lies.
" D-don't lie to me. They only want babies and toddlers. Just tell me the truth, I won't find a family. I won't!" he stormed off to his room. A sigh left the woman's mouth as she looked at the little boy run to his shared room.

Later that night Seungcheol finally decided it was time for him to go. He knew no one will take him home and he didn't want to be a burden any longer to the ahjumma.
He packed as much clothes and toys he could carry in his backpack and slipped out of the room while everyone was sleeping.
He walked upstairs to the old woman's room. He slipped in as quietly as he could to not wake up the woman.
He looked at her sadly as her wrinkled face was contorted in pain as she slept. Seungcheol felt horrible but he knew he needed to go. He didn't belong here and the hopes of finally finding a family disappeared on his 7th birthday.
As tears slipped the younger's face he sat down his letter of goodbyes on her pillow and slipped out of the old house into the night filled with stars above him.
Dear Mrs.Lee,
I know this may shock you once you noticed I left but know that I am grateful for all that you have done. There's isn't anyone who wants a kid nearly in their teens and I've came to the realization that it was my time to get over that dream. I will be okay, so don't worry too much about me. By the time you see me again I will be successful and have all the money in the world to take care of you just like how you've taken care of me.
Please take care of your health til then.
Love,
Cheolie.

Seungcheol honestly didn't know what he was going to do or where he was going but he kept walking.
Walking....
And Walking...

" I'm off to find another kid. You guys keep a heads up to find Jeonghan and the other kid."
Seungcheol heard a group of men voices as he traveled down an alleyway that was connected to a chain of restaurants in hopes someone would give him scraps.
" Yes sir!" Seungcheol slowly approached the tall man after the rest of the men ran off somewhere.
" E-excuse me sir." the man looked down at the small boy with his eyebrows raised in amusement.
" That was easier than I thought. He's cute." the man said to himself chuckling. Making Cheol back away a little in confusion.
" Hey, kid are you hungry?" Cheol nodded his head quickly and the man laughed in return.
