Chapter 49: A disturbing video call

Two day had passed since they had the meeting about rescuing Jae and Youngjae.

They had not gotten any closer to figuring out possible locations where the two could be held. But in the mean time Jackson and the guys from CIA had continued building their case against the higher ups that were part of Ku Bonchul's corruption.

Jinyoung and Jaebeom were adjusting to the life of parents to 7 kids, of which 4 of them had trauma from being kidnapped and were really cautious because of what they had been through.

But things were moving in the right direction for them. The kids were opening up more and they were lowering their guard with each passing day, allowing themselves to be more relaxed and play around like any other kid their age.

This put a smile on the adults' faces.

At the moment Jinyoung and Jaebeom was moving around the kitchen in sync, cooking lunch for the 9 of them.

The kids were already seated around the table. They were talking and giggling, making the adults smile.

"Hey dad?" Hyunjin asked.

"What is it Hyunjin?" Jaebeom replied.

"What should we call you?"

Jaebeom stopped in his tracks, turning around to meet his son's questioning gaze. "What do you mean Hyunjin."

"Well," Hyunjin started. "You and Jinyoung are together and that means we have two dads. But calling both of you dad will be confusing. Like I want to ask Jinyoung something and I say dad, but you're the one responding."

This made Jinyoung chuckle lightly. "These kids never fail to impress me."

"Do you have any idea of how to solve it Hyunjin?" Jaebeom asked.

This made the boy think. He didn't really have any idea of how to solve the problem, that was until Chan spoke up.

"We can call dad dad," Chan said, referring to calling Jinyoung dad. "And we can call Jaebeom papa."

Hyunjin looked up at Chan before looking at his father. "Papa. I like it," he concluded with an excited grin.

"Then that's done," Jaebeom stated. "From now on Jinyoung is dad and I'm papa. Any questions?"

The kids looked at each other and then back at the adult and they shook their head simultaneously.

"Now when that's covered, it's time for lunch," Jinyoung announced while putting the food on the table.

"Changbin, look at our cards and pick one, alright?" Jinyoung told the kid who sat in his lap. He had a few playing cards in his hands.

Changbin pointed at one of them and looked at Jinyoung, waiting for his next instruction.

"Okay, can you say what kind of card that is?"

"It's a spade?" Chanbin tried.

Jinyoung smiled at the boy. "Not really, but a really good try. Look at the number instead."

"A three?"

"Exactly! A three. Pick someone to ask for threes."
