Chapter Seven

Two minutes have passed and both Taeyong and Jisung waited by the couch. At the moment Jisung clinged onto the male's arm as if he's going to fall and will never see him again. "Jisung. You won't fall." Taeyong spoke, ruffling the boy's hair in a loving manner.

"I won't." Jisung paused for a moment before looking up. "Because I'm holding you." A giggle soon erupted after his response.

Taeyong rolled his eyes playfully.

It was not for long when a knock shot up from the left. Both boys rose from the couch and strolled to the entrance. Jisung plopped himself down on the mini platform while Taeyong got down only by his house slippers. He opened the door only to be welcomed by three boys that were side by side with one another. One looked ebullient, the other looked timid while the last seemed hesitant.

Bo-Ah was behind them. She wore a pink blouse tucked in her skinny jeans that's secured with a belt. She had her hands on her hips. "Tada!" The female said enthusiastically.

When Taeyong had his focus on the three boys. The tallest one was the most noticeable, standing atleast five foot four. He was the ebullient one as he described. It's scary how he seems so young yet bound to be a giant by the time he reaches the age of twelve.

Taeyong shook his head to snap out of his trance and flashed a warm smile to the three. "Hello! What are your names?"

Of course, the jaunty one stepped out first. Stomach in, chest out, he introduced. "I'm Lucas!" He replied with a rather funny accent. Taeyong found it cute.

Next to him was Sicheng, he was the hesitant one. His gaze was fixated downwards the whole time he traveled here. He was unsure if this was a good idea as he didn't want to be some sort of a problem to Taeyong. But he did agree anyway. "Sicheng." He introduced quietly.

The last one was quite timid but he gathered enough courage to speak as confident as Lucas. "I'm Xiaojun." He spoke in chinese. Taeyong should really teach the foreign kids some korean so he'll be able to speak with them comfortably. Maybe he'll have his korean time scheduled once all the boys are complete. He was fortunate enough to understand some of what Xiaojun had said.

"Nice meeting you all!" Taeyong smiled. "Now come come." He guided the three inside and had them take off their shoes. The trio had their shoes on the opposite side of where the other seven had theirs. Their timid demeanor gone when they entered the house and reunited with their brothers again.

Bo-Ah and Taeyong were the ones left outside.

"Thank you Taeyong again for this." She took hold of the male's hands and pressed it against her clothed chest. "I'm super grateful for you. I promise after all this I'll treat you anywhere you like for two weeks."

"That won't be necessary, Bo-Ah." Taeyong chuckled and shook his head.

"Pshh. Shush. You deserve it." She winked and had her hands back on her sides.

"Anyways, I'll get going. I'll be meeting with the architect today. I'll make sure to send the blueprints to you right after." Bo-Ah patted Taeyong's shoulder.

"You're going with Seo-min, right?"

She nodded.

"Oh and their stuff. Help me out will you?" Right, their belongings. Both the adults ambled to Bo-Ah's car and opened her trunk, revealing a stock of backpacks varying in sizes and in color. Taeyong mentally counted all of them.

Nineteen in total.

He grabbed atleast ten. Wearing one of them on his back while the other nine he had them supported on his two arms. Bo-Ah lifted five. They head inside and placed the bags by the couch. Bo-Ah ran to grab the other four, handing them to Taeyong.
