Samuel laughed at Daniel's attempt at an impression of a Monkey. Everyone had gone out tonight, except Daniel and Lisa, who had stayed back to play with the youngest boy. He sat in Lisa's lap as they sat on the floor of there small room. The room was meant to fit one or maybe two people at most, but somehow the ten of them fit in the room. There was three sets of bunk beds pushed against the walls. All there belongings were shoved under the beds or in the small closet next to the door. There was two blow up mattresses in the middle of the floor where Samuel and Chan slept. Some people, like Lisa and Jiwoo, had to share beds since there wasn't enough for them all. Still they tried to make the cramped room as bright and happy as they possibly could.
They were playing a cute game that they had made up, in which Daniel's punishment for losing was to act like a monkey and dance around the room, Samuel thought was the funniest thing in the world. Lisa laughed at how adorable Samuel's laugh was, she always gave up her Friday nights to play with Samuel. She always wanted him to know that he had someone to go to. Sometimes Daniel would stay, or sometimes Hansol or Hoshi. They all took turns, but Lisa always planned on staying with him. She always looked forward to spending her Friday nights with the young boy. Seeing him laugh and smile, made her feel as though there life wasn't filled with hatred and despair.
"Keep it down up there!" There foster dads voice yelled harshly up the stairs. The mans voice made the aurora in the room change quickly, going from a fun, happy feeling to a solemn one in milliseconds.
"Why does he always ruin the fun?" Samuel complained, whilst looking up at Lisa. This made both Lisa and Daniel's hearts break, they wanted Samuel to not have to be sad and have the most normal life he could, but whenever they attempted to have fun it would be ruined. Samuel turned his attention to the small bowl of mac and cheese that Lisa made for him, shoving his mouth with the cheesy goodness.
"He is just an evil man. He is like the wicked witch." Daniel explained, adding the witch part in an attempt to lighten the mood. The comment made Samuel's eyes grow large with excitement.
"So we need to throw water on him!" Samuel blurted out, almost spitting out the mac and cheese he had in his mouth, the actions of the small boy made Lisa laugh.
"Well not exactly-" Yells cut off Daniel. All three of them stopped as they heard yelling below them. "Is that..."
"Hansol." Lisa finished in disbelief.
"What is he doing?" Daniel asked, with a hint of fear in his voice.
"I think we all know what he is doing." Lisa stammered. Hansol had always talked about telling him that what he was doing was wrong, but no one thought Hansol ever would. Soon foot steps were heard coming up the stairs and Hansol swiftly entered the small room. He marched over to the bunk bed against the farthest wall and pulled out a backpack, before stuffing all his things into it. All three of them could clearly see his broken nose, which had blood spewing from it, and the black circle forming around his eye.
"Hansol, what happened" Daniel croaked.
"I got kicked out." Hansol mumbled, regret filled his eyes,"I'm so sorry. It's such a stupid thing to do."
"Han Han you can't leave." Samuel begged, his eyes filling with tears. Hansol turned his head to the small boy he had known and loved. He tried to hide the pain and regret from his face, forcing it down as far as he could.
"I'm sorry Sammy. I'll try to be back for you as soon as I get a job and a place." Hansol assured, tears filling his own eyes. He kept trying to push the sadness down, he tried to act strong, but every time he tried it just stayed at the surface, and was slowly falling over.
"No! Hansol please stay!" Samuel cried as he got to his face and rapped his arms around the older boys body. Hansol could no longer contain his feelings, he let the tears stream down his face as he held the small boy against his stomach.
"I'm sorry, I really am." He muttered to the small boy. Hansol's hand started to smooth Samuel's hair in hopes of calming him down.
"Please come back." Samuel asked while pulling away, wiping his eyes with his small hands. Hansol's throat tightened at the question. He wanted to say yes, more then anything in the world he wanted to say he could come back for the small boy, but he knew the likely hood of that was slim.
"I'll try." Hansol told the boy, while wiping the tears from his own face.
"No promise me Han Han! Promise me!" Samuel cried out, his tears shinning against his face.
"I promise." Hansol lied, pulling in the boy for one more hug, before picking up his bag and turning toward the door. "I love you all, please text me if anything happens." He told the two older ones. They both nodded, tears filled there own eyes. Hansol gave one last wave before leaving the room.
"Han Han! Please don't leave." Samuel cried before running out behind him. Hansol was already at the bottom of the stairs by the time Samuel had got to the top of them, Samuel fell to his knee's ,crying, but he tried not to make a sound as he listened to them.
"Get the fuck out of her you ungrateful piece of shit!" The old mans voice echoed.
"I will gladly!" Hansol spatted back while heading toward the door. Without turning back, Hansol swiftly opened the door and stepped outside. The man grabbed hold of the door and yelled after him.
"Don't ever come back!" He spatted before slamming the door. He turned around to see Samuel weeping at the top of the staircase. "Scram before your face looks like his did." With that Samuel quickly ran back to his room and fell on his bed to cry into his pillow.

"Hansol..." Mingyu said in shock after Hansol had explain what happened. "Where are you going to go? You have no where to stay!"
"I know!" Hansol muttered while running his fingers through his hair. Hansol really had not thought of the consequences, he had no where to go, no food to eat, nothing. "I have the money from Nerve so I can find a place-"
"Where are you going to find a place, at 9:30 at night?" Mingyu argued. He honestly did not know if he was mad at the boy or worried. He was mad at him for doing something so stupid, but at the same time he was worried about what could happen to him.
"I don't know..." Hansol admitted. All his life living there he thought that was dreadful, he thought he had a terrible life, that life had no reason to live, but one thing he never felt was loneliness. They were never alone, they had each other, and without the rest of them. Without the rest of the people that he considered his family. Now he was alone. He was alone and he had no idea where to go.
