LITTLE KITTEN. ✔️ [editing]

"Woo woo? What's happening? Where are we going?" Hyuntae as he cuddled into his older brother's side.

The brothers had now spent three days in the group home in Busan. They were clueless as to what was going to happen with them, but one thing they were constantly told was that everything was going to be fine, and it irritated Hyunwoo to the fullest.

His confusion fueled his anger and it caused him to act out. He would make snarky remarks to the social workers who he believed claimed they were only trying to help, but he was convinced they were tolerating their work to get a hefty paycheck. He knew they had no idea what this was like for them and the fact that the social workers were constantly trying to sway himself and Hyuntae into believing they did understand was distasteful.

He only trusted Jimin. From the man who was supposed to be a father to him and Hyuntae, he had learnt that not everyone who claimed to care always had good intentions. But he was certain that they could rely on Jimin because he knew first hand what it was like to be betrayed by the first people who were supposed to love you unconditionally.

"Hyuntae-ah... I don't know. But Jimin hyung won't leave us, he'll protect us."

Hyuntae could only nod into his hyung's side as he tightened his hold around his waist. He was nervous, scared and worried — worried for his brother's sake. He saw how angry he was at everyone apart from himself and it scared him to see Hyunwoo changing again. The only time he had seen him in such a state was when their father was mistreating him.

He wanted for himself and Hyunwoo to be okay, in fact, better than ever now that they were fortunately away from their so called father.

Hyuntae shivered and gripped his brother's t-shirt.

"Hyunnie? What's wrong?" Hyunwoo asked, his worry evident in his tone.

"'M s-scared."

Hyunwoo sighed before kissing the top of Hyuntae's dark brown strawberry scented hair.

In that moment, a social worker walked into their shared room and gave the brothers a small smile. Hyunwoo looked up from his little brother and scowled at the woman.

"Hyunwoo, Hyuntae? Mr Park is in the living room. Take your things with you, you'll be leaving today."

"Where are we going?" Hyunwoo muttered out as he sat on the edge of the bed with Hyuntae on his lap.

"I believe you've been fostered." She told him before leaving the room.

Hyunwoo picked up Hyuntae and sat him on the bed while he packed up all of their clothes and shoes from their old home. Once Hyunwoo had put their clothing in their own suitcases, he stood from the floor and stretched.

"Come on Hyunnie, lets not keep Jimin hyung waiting." Hyunwoo spoke with a grin.

Hyuntae bounced up from the bed and onto his feet and pulled the door open and ran out of the room while Hyunwoo picked up both of thee suitcases and made his way down the stairs.

"Minnie hyung!" Hyuntae screeched as he ran up to Jimin.

Jimin grinned at the young boy and lifted him up and rubbed their noses together which made Hyuntae laugh.

"How've you been Hyunnie? Has Woo woo been looking after you?"

Hyuntae nodded vigorously. "Last night Woo woo gave me his ice cream for dessert!"

"Wasn't that kind of him." He agreed as he lightly pinched Hyuntae's chubby cheek.

"Hi Jimin hyung." Hyunwoo spoke up as he dropped the suitcases by the door.

"Hey Woo-ah. How have you been?"

Hyunwoo could only shrug as he looked down at the floor as he fiddled with his sleeve.

"Woo, come here." Jimin called out as he opened up his arm to him.

Hyunwoo's bottom lip begun to quiver as he lifted his head up to look at his hyung. A tear rolled down Hyunwoo's cheek before he walked up to Jimin and wrapped his arms around his waist and cried into his torso.

"It's okay Woo, it's okay. You're okay now. Nobody will ever hurt you again, you're safe and I promise you'll be happy."
