"Jaemin?"

"Jaemin who's at the door?"

"It's Mark"

"WHAT!"

Mark recognized that voice. It was his mother. He looked up and now standing at the door was her not Jaemin.

"Well look who decided to show up"

"Mom we have things to discuss"

"Come in"

Mark walked in and took a deep breath as he looked around. The house still looked the same. He awkwardly stood there waiting.

"Sit down Mark"

"Oh thank you"

Mark gave her a small smile and sat down on the couch. Jaemin had disappeared into his room.

"So..What did you want to talk about?"

"Am taking custody of my siblings..."

"WHAT!"

"..."

"I will not allow that"

"I am not going to let them live with you after what you did to me I do not want you to do the same!"

"You deserved it and so do they"

"No, they don't! None of us did!"

"I forbid this from happening"

"Well you can't I have the papers here"

Mark took the papers and threw them on the coffee table.

"I am allowed to take them and you or dad are not allowed near them."

Mark's mom took the papers and looked through them.

"Where are they?"

She didn't answer him. Mark had enough and went upstairs to look for them.

"Jaemin?Chenle?Jisung?"

Jaemin heard his name being called and opened his door.

"Hyung?"

Mark smiled and hugged him.

"What's going on hyung?"

Mark looked at him and noticed a red mark on his cheek.

"Did mom do this?"

Mark rubbed his cheek softly with his thumb. Jaemin looked down trying to cry.

"No, it was dad.."

Mark took a deep breath and signaled Jaemin to sit on his bed as he closed the door.

"Why did dad do this?"

Jaemin wiped his tears with his hands. Mark sat next to him.

"Dad he..he.."

"What did he do nana?"

"He took Jisung to an orphanage and I tried stopping him but he slapped me"

Mark took a moment to process what his younger brother just had said. Jaemin completely broke down.

"...Get Chenle and start packing all your things"

"Why?" Jaemin asked looking at his older brother.

"Am taking both of you with me and we are going to go find Jisung."

Jaemin nodded. Mark got up and walked downstairs.

"Why did you send Jisung to an orphanage!"

Mark's mom was surprised to hear her son yell.

"How did you figure it out?"

"Jaemin told me but answer my question why did you do it!"

Mark was trying his best not to cry.

"We were starting to run out of money! "

"That doesn't give you the right to send him away!"

"Who are you to tell us what to do!"

"I can't believe this.."

"Plus he was starting to get on my nerves he barely did anything in this house such a disgrace"

Mark had enough.

"Don't talk about Jisung like that!"

Mark yelled at her. Ji-young(Mark's mom) did not like that and slapped Mark across the face.

Mark held his left cheek in shock holding back his tears. Two small gasps were heard. Ji-young looked to the side and saw her other two sons.

"Jaemin!Chenle! Go back to your rooms."

Mark looked up and saw his two brothers.

"Don't listen to her."

Mark walked over to them.

"Hyung...Are you okay?"

"Am okay Chenle"

Mark softly smiled and saw that the boys had everything packed.

"You guys ready?"

Both boys nodded and smiled at him.

"You are not going anywhere with them!"

"It isn't your decision anymore."

Jaemin spoke up.

"You don't talk to me like that you brat!"

Ji-young was about to launch at him but Mark blocked her.

"Don't you there!"

Jaemin was scared he hid behind Mark.

"What is the orphanage that you sent Jisung "

Mark asked.

"..."

"Just fucking tell me!"

"The orphan home...."

Mark nodded and grabbed his brother's suitcases.

"Let's go.."

Mark exited the house with Jaemin and Chenle following.

"Hyung do you think we can find Jisung?"

"I don't know lele...I don't know"
