"You can't keep Jeno anymore, I'm sorry, but he must go with the Children's home and out of your home in a weeks notice."

Silence took over the phone.

Jaemin was far from angry, and far from sad.

He should've expected this. He knew he should've. He cannot give the life that Jeno needs. He cannot give the one he loves happiness in daily life. He knew this and yet he still can't seem to accept it.

"M-mr. Na?" The man on the other side of the phone stuttered out.

"Ok"

"But I wanna see his parents and I want to speak with them ASAP. I want to see where they live and all contacts with them. I want information on the families past and I want watch patrols on them, you make sure that this is a fit home for my baby- For Jeno." Jaemin spat out.

"Y-yes sir- b-but theres only o-one problem s-Sir-"

"What is it?!"

"It's out of our state, he's going to America."

-

Jeno was fast asleep in bed, no worry at all. He was at peace with himself and his brain. He then slowly felt hands wrap around him and he felt warmth instantly. He felt a light kiss on his forehead- but he felt something in it.

It was like a "I'm gonna miss you" kiss.

Jeno opened his eyes just barely so that he could see the chest he was facing. It was Jaemins. Jaemin was leaning over him, watching him with such a hurt and painful look. Jeno instantly felt panicky inside and his stomach had a deep anxiety feeling all the sudden.

"Jeno..." Jaemin started, his face barely showed emotion but his eyes- his eyes were full of it. From pain and anger to guilt and sadness. Jeno saw it all.

"What's wrong Jaemin?" Jeno asked, even though he wasn't ready for the impact.

"You can't stay with me anymore."

Jenos heart stopped. What did he mean by that? What did Jaemin mean he couldn't stay with him? He can stay here, he can stay with his Jaemin- so why is Jaemin saying these things?

"W-What do you mean?" Jeno asked. He's grown a connection with Jaemin and he doesn't want anybody else taking him but Jaemin. He wants Jaemins comforting and he wants his scent and warmth. Nobody else's.

"I wish I could keep you I really do- but Jeno- I cant give you what you need. Like education- proper meals- love." Jaemin said the last word and even his own heart twisted in pain at the sound. Jaemin caressed Jenos hair and Jeno looked at him- still bewildered and confused.

"Where will I go?" Jenos voice cracked and Jaemin just wanted to tell him everything was gonna be okay- but he couldn't, for he didn't know if anything was okay at this moment.

"To a foster home, with parents. In America." Jaemin whispered.

"But I wanna stay with you." Jeno then started to tear up and Jaemin instantly developed him in a hug as Jeno latched onto him. He lifted him up and made him sit on his lap- Jeno was now being cradled in Jaemins arms- crying.
