The orphanage days were a tapestry of joy and laughter until a cloud of change loomed over its cheerful atmosphere. One sunny afternoon, a couple walked through the door, expressing their interest in adopting a child, other co-workers, caretakers and the owner of the orphanage were standing in children's sleeping area with the couple who is here to adopt...

As the caretakers gathered to discuss the possibility, the news reached the ears of the children, some were already present in the bedroom area, while some being called by workers, Taetae, his innocent eyes wide with confusion, tugged on Jerry's sleeve...

"Grandpa what's hwappening?''....asked tae

"Taetae, sometimes families come to adopt children and give them a new home and they are here for koo''...Jerry knelt down, trying to find the right words and not to hurt tae, but what can even stop him knowing his koo would leave him...

"But Koo is my best fwriend! They can't take him away!"....tae's eyes welled up with tears, that made Jerry to wipe his tears off from his face with a sad sigh

"Taetae, we want what's best for Koo. If he gets adopted, he'll have a loving family''....Jerry, with a sympathetic smile, attempted to console the distraught toddler...

"But I want Koo here with me, he is my best fwreinds, he can't go lweaving his taetae"....Tae cried, his sobs echoing through the hallway, everyone got really sad seeing the boy crying for his bestfriend, also kook was going to leave, this fact is digging their heart by no other, they are used to his presence they love kook so much, also loves their precious toddler can't see him crying...

''but yuh also have friends other than kook, right tae?, yuh have yoongi, Jimin, Jasmine, hobi and Alex and many more''...Jerry tried to make toddler understand but he shooked his head crying more

''but kook is special fwriend of taetae, i wuv koo, we play togewther, he pats my head, he share his toys wid me, he fights alein to prwotect me, he also give me Huggies to sleep''...tae ranted

"Grandpa, can't you make them uwndershtand? Koo needs to stay with me!"....tae, still clinging to Jerry, looked up with teary eyes...

"I know, Taetae. I'll do my best to help Koo stay, but we also want what's best for him. Families can offer things we can't''.....Jerry, with a gentle smile, wiped away a tear from Taetae's cheek..

"But Jerry, we're fwamily here! Can't we enougfh for Koo?"...Taetae pleaded, his small voice filled with desperation....

"Taetae, you and Koo have a special bond, and I'll talk to the couple about that. Sometimes, we need to help others understand just how important these connections are''....Jerry sighed, realizing the depth of Taetae's emotions...

As Jerry left to speak with the couple, Taetae clung to his koo.  waiting anxiously. In the quiet moments,

"Don't leave me, Koo. We prowmised we'd always be togewther''...he said to kook sobbing

"I won't leave yuh, Taetae. Jerry would help this out, okay?"....Kook smiled sensing Taetae's distress, nuzzled against him, no matter how badly he always wanted to get adopt, but not now...

Back in the meeting room, Jerry poured his heart out to the couple, emphasizing the profound friendship between Taetae and Koo. He shared stories of their shared laughter, the comfort they found in each other, and the inseparable bond they had formed.

The couple listened intently, moved by Jerry's heartfelt plea. After a moment of thoughtful silence, they exchanged glances and nodded. It was a silent agreement that perhaps the orphanage was the best place for Koo, where his roots had intertwined with Tae...

"Taetae, they've decided to give Kook a chance to stay here with you. They see how much you mean to each other''...When Jerry returned to Taetae, there was a mixture of relief and anticipation in the air...

"Really, grandpa? Koo doesn't hab to go?"...Taetae's eyes lit up with a mix of joy...

"Really. They understood the importance of your friendship, and they want what's best for both of you''...Jerry nodded

"You're staying, Koo! We're staying together!"...Tae's face beamed with happiness. He rushed towards Koo, throwing his arms around him once again...

''we would always be twogether ''....Kook giggled embracing Taetae tightly in a hug, both bestfriends sticked to each other..

In that moment, amidst the emotional turbulence, the unbreakable bond between Taetae and Kook stood stronger than ever, a testament to the enduring power of friendship in the face of uncertainty.

Meanwhile, Jimin, Yoongi, Hobi, and the others gathered, their hearts heavy with the impending separation. They understood the bittersweet nature of life in an orphanage, but it didn't make it any easier.

The orphanage, once on the brink of a heart-wrenching farewell, was now filled with the warmth of an unbroken bond. Jimin, Yoongi, Hobi, and the others exchanged relieved smiles, grateful that fate had intervened to preserve the precious connection between Taetae and Koo.

All the time, tae didn't left kook's hand and sticked to him all time like he would run away even after assuring that he isn't leaving him, but a child is still insecure and doesn't want to leave his best friend for a second...

''slweep now, taetae i am not going anywhere''...kook said patting tae's tummy to which he pouted..

''mawybe yuh will lweave taetae when he sleeps''...tae said while kook shooked his head

''no am not leaving, sleep now''...kook said laying beside him while tae clutched onto him tightly, he kissed on his cheek messily and both friends giggled

''taetae is happy that kook is not lweaving''...tae said showing his teeths

''i am happy too''...kook said smiling

''we both are hwappy peoples''...tae said and giggled while kook nodded along laughing too...

Soon after tae slept on kook caging him in his short hands and legs to which kook too hugged his taetae, both tired drifted into their dreamland...
