Twelve Little Brothers

Runaways

Dk's POV

"Appa, can we go visit Minseo Noona for a little bit?" I asked, and he looked up from Chan since he was feeding him.

"You want me to bring twelve kids into that coffee shop?" I nodded and Appa sighed.

"Well, you don't have to bring everyone, Jeonghan hyung is almost eight, he could stay here with the Meanies and Channie." Appa raised his eyebrows and shook his head.

"I'm not leaving Jeonghan in charge of a couple kids while we run across the street to go see Minseo. You'll see her in a couple hours." I sighed and walked to the table so I could sit back down next to Hoshi and Seungkwan.

"That's a no." Seungkwan pouted and Hoshi sighed.

"I told you he wouldn't let us." Hoshi said and Seungkwan's eyes lit up.

He never said we couldn't go, he just said all of us couldn't go.

Seungkwan, that is literally what he told us not to do to you can't find any loop holes.

I just sat back in my chair and listened to Hoshi and Seungkwan go back and forth. I eventually butted in though.

Why don't we just say we want to play outside and go see Noona. Then we can come back super quick and it'll be fine.

Hoshi started at me like I was crazy, while Seungkwan looked at me like I was a genius.

This is a terrible idea! We're going to get in so much trouble!

Ah come on, Hoshi. Do you want to visit Noona or not?

Hoshi sighed and I knew Seungkwan and I had won. The three of us got up from the table and started to put our shoes on.

"We're going to go outside to play, Appa." I called out and he nodded from the couch, barely looking up at us. Seungkwan shrugged and we quickly left the house. We started walking along the sidewalk and I could tell Hoshi was starting to regret this.

"Do we know where Minseo Noona works?" Hoshi asked, and Seungkwan nodded.

"I asked her one day and I know where it is. It's super close." Hoshi sighed once more and we kept walking until Seungkwan stopped at a crosswalk.

"That's where Noona works." He pointed across the street and my eyes widened at the amount of cars going down the street.

"We aren't allowed to cross the street alone. We should just go back this wasn't a good idea." Hoshi said, and he started walking away, but I grabbed his good arm and pulled him back.

"All we have to do is hold hands and cross when the white person shows up. We've got this. We're five years old, Hoshi. We're big boys." Seungkwan said, and he pushed the button to cross the street. As soon as the hand turned to the person, we linked hands and ran across the street as fast as we could.

"Come on! We get to see Noona!" Seungkwan yelled and he pulled us to the cafe. I opened the door for my triplets and we all walked in. A couple of older guys were in the cafe, but I couldn't see Minseo Noona.

I say we run for it.

"Can I help you three?" A man with blonde hair asked, and I spoke up for the three of us.

"We're looking for Minseo Noona. We thought she worked here." The man smiled, but looked behind the counter and frowned.

"She works here, but we just sent her on an errand. Would you like to sit and wait for her?" The three of us nodded and the man helped us up onto the bar stools in front of the counter.

"My name is Jin. I was put in charge while she ran out for a few minutes. What are your names?"

I vote we don't say anything.

But he knows Noona, he must be fine.

He could be lying, Hoshi.

"My name is Seungkwan, and this is Dk and Hoshi. We're triplets." I facepalmed at Seungkwan's complete disregard for what Hoshi and I were talking about, but Mr. Jin's eyes widened.

"So you three are the triplets! BooSeokSoon, right? Taehyung, these are the triplets!" Another man with light brown hair came over to us from wiping a table.

"Minseo's triplets?" We nodded and the man smiled.

"I'm Taehyung, her boss. Where's your Dad?" I laughed awkwardly and Hoshi glared at us.

"These two decided to sneak out of the house to come see Noona. I got dragged along." Seungkwan gasped.

"You came on your own!" Mr. Taehyung and Mr. Jin shared a look with each other.

"So your Dad doesn't know where you are?" We nodded.

"There's nine other boys running around in the house, and we told him we were playing outside. As long as we get back soon we're fine." I said, but Mr. Taehyung and Mr. Jin didn't seem so sure.

"How old are you three?" Hoshi held up five fingers with his good arm, and Mr. Taehyung's eyes widened.

"Five?! Jin hyung we have to bring them back." Seungkwan pouted and sat up straighter.

"But we wanted to see Minseo Noona." The door opened to the cafe and the three of us spun around.

"What are you three doing here without Appa?" Minseo Noona asked, and Seungkwan ran up to her.

"We came to see you and then go back home." She sighed and ran her fingers through her hair, messing it up a bit.

"Well, you saw me, now I'm bringing you back. Taehyung oppa, can I please go run them home?" Mr. Taehyung nodded and Minseo Noona picked me up off of the stool before helping Hoshi down. She made sure we were all together before starting to walk down the sidewalk towards home.

"What made you think this was a good idea?" She asked, and the three of us were silent.

"We just wanted to see you. Why are you so mad?" Seungkwan asked, and his lip started to tremble. Minseo Noona saw that and softened her tone a bit.

"I'm happy that you wanted to come see me. But not without Appa. It's not safe for you three to be walking around without an adult. What would I do if something happened to me BooSeokSoon?" When I looked up at Minseo Noona's face, she looked extremely upset.

"We're sorry, Noona. Can you please not tell Appa, though. We don't want to get in trouble." I pleaded, and Noona sighed.

"I won't tell Appa, but only if you never do something like this again, okay?" We eagerly nodded and she made us pinky promise.

"Now go play outside like you said you were going to." She gently pushed us in the direction of the house, and we gave her a hug before running off.

Let's not do that again.
