taeyong was just your average college boy, with a strange high sex drive, it was like every other week it was a new girl, until one day a bunch of kids started to show up to his house

his first child mark, came to him first
at the time taeyong was with his oldest sister who was visiting with her children at his new but big house

"taeyong, there's a knock at your door" taeyoo said, "can you open it for me please?"

taeyoo nodded and went to open the door, opening it to look down at a small boy who seemed young

"whats that?" taeyoo asked softly going to meet his height, the young was scared but hesitated to hand her the letter

she let him come in and he went to the couch, "hey taeyong you might want to look at this"

"what is it? mail?" he asked, "no read it now" taerin said sternly

taeyong swiftly made his way to the living room, he was surprised that a young boy was there

it wasn't sicheng, jaehyun or jungwoo since they were sleeping in the extra room

he took the letter, it read

"taeyong, here is your child minhyung. i can't seem to make ends meet for him so i ended making up the choice to leave him with you, currently pregnant with your other child, im sorry to do this to you but i can't have him suffer in a foster home, sorry again p. hyejin"

it was a lot to take in, he just graduated how would he even make ends meet for his child!

he thought it was the end, no it wasn't it was child after child, the triplets then renjun and chenle

he couldn't seem to catch a break, now when he thought that was finished boy he was wrong

trigger warning: family death

everyone was in the living room watching tv with one another, until an interrupted broadcast played

"there has been a crash resulting in two deaths, truck driver's collided with a small car driver, we'll be revealing their identities in a moment"

the younger kids didn't understand what was going on, but the older ones did

"the two identified bodies are now known as lee taeyoo and cha hyuk, if you know any of the family members or know them please contact this number

"its not omma right?" jaehyun asked, "we don't know that" sicheng said quietly

"their picture was on there!" jungwoo cried, taeyong couldn't help but feel sorry as he sat there and watch them cry

korea, 2019

a year has passed and the number of children grew, jisung was now the youngest and yukhei was the oldest

taeyong was working while the kids were left at daycare and his 3 eldest were attending school

he decided it was best to adopt sicheng, jaehyun and jungwoo no way he was going to let them go to foster care

customers came by, work came by pretty quickly. he took out loans to own this bar, he made lots of money, anything for the kids

although rising so many kids was hard he had really great friends who were down to help them

johnny is always going to pick up and drop off the kids which taeyong assumed to hit on the daycare workers

when coming home he was greeted by his children, "do you guys eat yet?" taeyong asked

"uncle doyoung cooked for us already!" minhyung said, "okay then, thanks" taeyong said

"not a problem" doyoung chuckles, while he was eating the kids were slowly drifting to sleep

"hi daddy" yukhei said taking a seat next to him, "yeah what's up buddy?" he asked

"nothing, how was your day?", taeyong chuckled at his son, "mine was good how was day care?"

"it was fun, noona wasn't there today but its okay we'll see her tomorrow", "ah is noona nice?"

his face lit up quickly, "noona is the sweetest! uncle johnny's best friend"

taeyong was amused, thats why he's been going there lately, "noona make sure we're feed and checks up on us"

"she seems like a good person", "she reminds me of uncle yuta too! even looks like him" yukhei said

"she must be really pretty, uncle yuta is really pretty" taeyong hummed and his eldest agreed

"dad we're heading out with aunt taerin!" sicheng yells, "alright! its already so late so just stay with aunty!" taeyong yelled back

"okay see you tomorrow dad!" jungwoo yells

taeyong was in his room while his kids slept, looking over to his youngest, he felt bad

jisung was given to taeyong when hyejin got out of the hospital leaving no time to imprint on his mother

she didn't want anything to do with him, being a single parent is hard, if only he hadn't wasted his time on frat parties maybe he wouldn't be stuck like this

did he love his kids? yeah all of them, it took a long time before any of them got used to him, there were lots of fights between the siblings

donghyuck and renjun most of the time but as time flew by the kids got older and more talkative

he wondered what is that daycare noona so good at, why the kids wanted to go there so bad everyday because

he wants to be the one who make his children feel like that.
