Jang-Mi held her little hands out in front of her, pulling at her fingers. She was kind of scared, seeing as she'd only gotten to the orphanage an hour or so ago.
She was definitely one of the youngest kids, that was for sure. There was a few teenagers, and some older children, but not many six-year-olds like Jang-Mi.
Her mother had gone to jail, disowning Jang-Mi in the process, and her father was most likely dead. So here she was, in a place she didn't know, looking at kids she'd never seen before.
Several of the older ones scoffed at the new little girl sitting in the play-box by herself. She was young and cute, practically a little baby; she'd be adopted in no time. To them, there was no point trying to befriend her.
A younger one, however, didn't see the logic. He ambled his way up to her, giving her a shy grin- he was missing a few front teeth.
"Hiya!" He giggled, the missing teeth affecting his speech. He pushed one chubby hand towards her.
She smiled back, grateful that someone was talking to her. "Hi. I'm Jang-Mi, what about you?"
"I'm Jungkook!"
They shook hands, and he sat himself next to her in the sand. "I've got big brothers, I can make you meet too."
"How much brothers do you have?" She asked him.
"Many, how many." He gently corrected her. "Jin-hyung tells me about speaking. But I've got six. They're not my real brothers, but they baby me."
"Really? They made you their brother?"
"Yes. I like them."
"Could I be friends with you?" Jang-Mi tilted her head.
Jungkook smiled. "You could be our sister. We don't have one yet."
He suddenly pointed to a taller boy who was walking out of the boys' building. His hair was shaved on the sides, and he had intelligent eyes.
"There's one of them! Come on Jang-Mi!"
Both children raced forward to the boy, who stopped upon seeing Jungkook and the younger girl.
"Kookie? Who's this?" He asked, shifting the book under his arm so he could shake her small hand.
"Namjoon-hyung, Jang-Mi. Jang-Mi, Namjoon-hyung." Jungkook grinned, displaying his new friend to him.
Namjoon smiled. "Do you want her to meet the others?"
Jungkook was friendly to all the children, but not all treated him the same for the same reason they treated Jang-Mi that way; he was young a cute. However, some younger ones didn't get adopted quickly, and he happened to be one of them. So when Jungkook got a new friend, especially a baby, all the boys met them.
"Pretty please hyung!" Jungkook grinned.
Namjoon left back into the boys' dorm, coming out not long later with five other boys.
Two seemed stuck at the hip, and were two years older than Jang-Mi and Jungkook. They're names were Jimin and Taehyung.
The middle one was Namjoon, who was nine; this was surprising to Jang-Mi, as he reminded her of the teenagers.
The energetic one, Hoseok, and the sleepy one, Yoongi, were both ten. Jang-Mi immediately loved Hoseok's smile, and Yoongi reminded her of a grandpa, which made her giggle a little.
Finally, the oldest was Seokjin, or Jin, and he was eleven. Jang-Mi herself could see how mature he was; he had hold of Taehyung and Jimin's hands, keeping them close to him.
"These are my brothers!" Jungkook happily announced, throwing his arms up to emphasise. He quickly spun to look at them. "Can she be our baby sister please? Please hyungs? Please?"
Namjoon laughed at Jungkook's enthusiasm, pinching the younger's cheeks. Jin and the others grinned as well, and the former held his hands out to the little girl.
"Do you want to be our sister?" He asked as she placed her hands in his own.
Jang-Mi's nod was so strong she thought her head would fall off. "Yes please! I don't have anyone here."
Jin's caring heart thumped at that, and he cuddled her into him. "Well, you've got us now, right boys?"
Taehyung had started twirling her hair, seeing as she had the longest he'd ever seen, but he stopped to nod, then continued. Jimin nodded along too, giving a small clap.
Namjoon pulled Jungkook into a gentle headlock, grinning, and Yoongi gave a small smile.
Hoseok cheered whilst Jungkook- even while being mildly choked- pumped his fists in the air.
