"Jeonghan hyung!"

Jeonghan looked up from his drawing at the call of his name. A young Jihoon came running up to him holding up a paper. It was a drawing of their family.

"Aww that's so cute! Did you draw it yourself?" Asks Jeonghan.

"Mhm! I drew all of us!" Says Jihoon.

"That's beautiful! Let's go show mom and dad!" Says Jeonghan.

Jeonghan stands up and the two quickly make their way to the backyard where their parents were at.

"Mom, Dad, look at what Jihoon drew!" Says Jeonghan.

The two people look up from what they were doing and watch as Jihoon proudly shows them the drawing.

"Aww that's adorable sweetie! You have such a great talent!" Proudly says their mom.

"Why don't you two go hang it up on the fridge? There should be a magnet there." Says their dad.

The two quickly run back inside to hang up the drawing.

"When are we going to tell them?" Asks the mom.

"We'll tell them when the time is right, right now is not the best time. Just wait a few more years until they will be able to understand it." Says the dad as he goes back to taking out weeds.

The mom stares at him for a few seconds before turning her gaze in the direction the two boys went. She sighs before going back to clearing out some dead plants.

"Yah why can't I hang out with your friends?" Asks Jihoon.

"Because I said so." Says Jeonghan. "Come on Jihoon, you need to branch out a little more! You're almost 8, I think it's time you make some friends that aren't connected to me." Says Jeonghan.

"But socializing is so hard." Whines Jihoon.

Jeonghan chuckles and ruffles his hair. Jihoon scowls and swats his hand away. Jeonghan laughs before leaning down to tie his shoes. Once he finishes he straightens himself out and heads towards the door.

"Alright i'm off! See you later." He waves and then disappears through the door way.

Jihoon sighs before heading towards the couch and turning on the tv.

"Jihoonie?" Says a voice.

He turns around to see his mom standing there in the doorway looking nervous.

"Hey mom what's up? Is something wrong?" He asks.

"No no its nothing." She says as she approaches. "There's just something I need to tell you."

She walks over and sits next to him on the couch. Jihoon turns off the tv and turns to face her.

"What is it?" He asks.
