Twelve Little Brothers

Fixing Things

Wonwoo's POV

"Minseo Noona, Appa is putting Chan in your bed when you leave. He was supposed to come into our room." Mingyu whined, and I nodded. I was only in this conversation for moral support, I've already given up on trying to get Chan in our room.

"Well, I'm so glad you've already made plans for while I'm gone. What else is going to happen?" I lightly smacked Mingyu just to let him know he did a bad. Minseo Noona was obviously upset.

"No, just that." Mingyu mumbled, and Minseo Noona stood up.

"I have an essay to work on." She walked away to her room and I hit Mingyu again.

"Stop hitting me!" I shrugged and picked up a crayon before reaching for a piece of paper.

"You made Noona sad so now I'm going to color her a picture to make her happy. That's how this works. You mess things up and I fix them." Mingyu pouted and walked away.

I don't mess up that much.

I made a mental note to apologize later, and I started coloring a picture. I finished a few minutes later, and I held it away from me so I could see everything I drew better.

"That looks pretty good. But why is Mingyu upset?" Minghao hyung asked from behind me and I shrugged.

"I'll fix that later." Minghao hyung gave me a look like I should fix it now, and I sighed.

"Fine, I'll go fix it." I got up from the table and walked into our room since that was probably where he would be. I opened the door, but no one was there.

Mingyu, where are you?

I'm with Jun hyung in his room.

I sighed and walked out of our room and into the China hyungs room. They were playing a board game on the floor, so I just walked over and sat next to Mingyu.

I'm sorry Gyu, I didn't mean to say that you mess things up all the time. I'm just upset Minseo Noona is leaving and I took it out on you.

Mingyu pretended to be focused on the game, but it wasn't his turn so he definitely wasn't focused.

Come on, Gyu, I apologized.

Appa always makes us hug it out.

I sighed, but I knew that I had to hug him or he would never forgive me. I moved closer to Mingyu and wrapped my arms around him. Mingyu hugged me back and it was impossible to miss the smiled on his face.

"Am I not going to be filled in on the mental conversation you just had?" Jun hyung asked when I let go of Mingyu, and I shook my head.

"Do you want to play next round, Woo?" Mingyu asked.

"I have to finish my picture for Minseo Noona, but I'll come back later if you're still playing." Mingyu nodded and I walked back into the kitchen.

"Did you fix it?" Minghao hyung asked, and I nodded while sitting down.

"Yeah, we're good." Ming hyung smiled and I looked back at my picture. Something was missing, but I couldn't tell what. I had drawn our entire family, including Mom even though I didn't really remember her completely but she was drawn in all white, and we were all in our living room. I kept staring at it until it hit me.

I needed a heart above us all.
