Parent Lee In The House || ✔

Chapter Three

Taeyong nearly fainted.

19 children? How can he, the only person in his household, take care of them all? It's honestly impossible. He thought Bo-Ah was atleast handling just five or seven. Yeah he's already contented with those numbers but two digit numbers are terrifying, especially when it comes to children.

Can he do this? Can he or can he not?

"You're serious?"

"Of course. You think orphanages are some come and go for children?"

Taeyong gulped and leaned back.

"Well technically it is-- but you get the point!" Bo-Ah spoke as she made hand gestures.

"Look I-"

"I don't want to force you. But please. It's for them." Taeyong glanced at Bo-Ah and fixated them back to the ground. Both Taeyong and Bo-Ah knows the more logical way of handling these situations is temporarily transferring the kiddos to another orphanage, but then again, too far, limited space for them to fit in and also not having enough trust for those in charge in those places.

Taeyong wanted to disagree.

But looking back, these children are parent-less. Some maybe abandoned, or just left there, or maybe it's their parents that left them and traveled up to the clouds yet they never realized it and caught themselves up in their own little imagination.

He has a heart.
He was given a heart not to only live on but give and share the love.

The male lets a soft sigh leave his lips.

"I'll..think about it."

When Bo-Ah heard those words she hoped for, the girl jumped in joy and threw herself on the boy, enfolding her arms tightly around the lad's waist. Exhilaration surged through her veins and a wave of relief washed over her like how the waves would wash away your slipper.

"Thank you!" Bo-Ah's lips bore of a beautiful smile that reeked of sincerity. Though, it didn't reach Taeyong's eye view.

"Yeah.." Taeyongs sighed.

Bo-Ah was the first to pull away from the embrace and rose from the bench. She now stood before the seated male with her arms crossed.

"I'll let you meet the kids tomorrow, yeah? Then maybe we can talk about it to Seo-min."

"Sure."

Taeyong stood up as well and mirrored the girl's smile, though it was more of an awkward and an in doubt one. But Bo-Ah was too happy for her to notice.

"Anyways. I gotta go. See you tomorrow?" Bo-Ah's eyebrow arched.

"Yeah, where?"

"xxx-xx street."

Taeyong thought to himself for awhile when his eyes snapped wide.

"Seo-min's house?"

Bo-Ah gave a nod and waved her hand in dismissal. "Mhm."

She turned pointedly on her heels. With one last glance and a smile, she headed off her way.

Taeyong simply walked back to his car.

..

Taeyong had finally made it to his black crossover and slid to the driver's seat. What did he just agreed to? He doesn't have the experience of parenting, or ever raised a child on his own and yet destiny wanted shove 19 children to his face unprepared. It's not like he was forced to or anything. He had the right to decide.
