"Once upon a time, there lived three babies."

"I don't like this story."

"Shh! It's nap time."

"But Jay hyung-"

"Nap."

Right now, the members were helping the two trainees move into the house. It was almost midnight, and practice had went well.

Jay was upstairs in the first bedroom. Tian, Heeseung, and Niki were sitting on the bed. Enhypen decided to stay with them for the first night.

"Are you guys okay sleeping in this room?", Jay asked.

"Ye! But you stay wit us. We all sleep in hewe.", little Heeseung said.

Everyone else couldn't help but agree. No one can deny the cutie that is little Heeseung.

A few minutes later the others came upstairs. Niki, Tian, and Heeseung were going to sleep in the bed.

Seoknam, Sunoo, and Jay were sleeping on a makeshift bed of blankets on the floor. As for Jungwon, Sunghoon, and Jake, they took up spots in various areas of the room.

They all talked for a while before going to bed. Any topic to try and get to know the new trainees better. Sunoo discovered that Tian is very similar to him. The Enhypen members found out that Seoknam is almost exactly like Jake.

"So, where are you from?", Jake asked, "I know you said your parents lived in America."

"Complicated story.", Seoknam started, "So I was born in America. But, when I was almost two, my parents packed up and moved to a whole new place. Due to rather unfortunate circumstances, I was left there by my parents."

The others didn't know what to say, there were gasps of shock accompanied by seemingly angry murmurs.

"But anyways. Maybe that was a good thing. My grandpa was a kind man. He took me to see Vivid Sydney every year. It was amazing."

Jake sat up from the other side of the room.

"Hold up.", he said, raising his hand in the air.

He suddenly switched to English.

"The place you lived was Australia?"

"Oh, yeah. Forgot to mention that. Aren't you from Brisbane?"

"I sure am. So you came here a year ago?"

"I did. My grandpa made sure to teach me Korean so I could be prepared if I ever came here."

Jake smiled, laying back down.

They spent the rest of the night talking together. Mostly Jake and Seoknam.

The Next Morning

"Good mornin' Riki!", Heeseung said.

Niki sat up in the bed, looking around.

His eyes landed on Tian, who was coming from the bathroom. Heeseung grabbed Niki's hand and got out of the bed.

"Where are we going?", Niki asked.

"Mornin' cartoons wiv friends is always best!"

Tian, who was following them, sat down on the couch when they reached the living room. He looked around the room, eyes looking to stairs, where another person was coming down.

"What are you guys doing up so early?", Seoknam asked.

"Dumpling here insisted we watch cartoons this morning.", Niki said.

"I guess I'll join."

He squeezed in between Niki and Tian.

Heeseung turned the TV on to see Sesame Street playing. He turned the volume up and bounced on the couch. Everyone watched the now excited little have the time of his life.

Niki looked over to Tian. The usually smiling boy had a frown on his face.

"Are you alright?", Niki whispered.

Tian looked up at him.

"Niki hyung, I don't like loud Noises. Can we please turn it down...please."

He started to look really upset, and Niki noticed a tear forming in his eyes.

He quickly grabbed the remote and turned it down a bit. Tian seemed to calm down. Niki let out a sigh of relief. He took the opportunity to hug the boy.

"It's okay. It can be overwhelming sometimes huh?", Niki asked.

"Yeah...I mean, I can stand music, but sometimes it gets jumbled and makes me upset."

"Well if you ever need someone to comfort you, I'm here."

"Thank you hyung."

Seoknam noticed the two, and smiled to himself. He felt happier here, with these people. He felt like he had family.

"So...any siblings?", Niki asked.

Tian and Seoknam took a moment to think. Tian spoke up first.

"I have a few sisters. But we haven't seen each other since my parents separated me from them."

Niki was paying close attention.

"I was so close to my sisters. But my mom didn't like that. She ended up taking me to my aunt and uncle and leaving Thailand. We went to the Korea, and stayed with relatives."

Seoknam intervened when he saw Tian's sad face.

"I met Tian a while ago. He was in a library downtown, reading a book about the animals in Australia. I figured I would help him out."

Niki felt like a therapist listening to the two. Heeseung was listening too, ignoring his cartoons.

"I have a big brother. Back home. I miss him. One day we will see each other again. But for now, I have Tian."

The other boy smiled.

"How about we play a game?", Niki asked.

The other boys nodded in agreement.

"Okay. Here's the rules. I give you a word, and you say the first thing that comes to your mind."

They agreed. Tian wanted to go first.

"So Tian, your first word is, music."

"Enhypen."

"Wow. Okay, second word. Pets."

"My corgi. Her name is Butters."

"Sweet. How about...flowers."

Tian hesitated for a bit.

"Umm...roses. White roses."

Niki saw his facial expression change.

"Those were dads favorite flowers. I miss him a lot."

"Well why don't you talk to him?", Niki asked.

"Because I can't talk to ghosts."

Seoknam had to cover his mouth before he almost laughed. Niki turned around and saw him, giving him a serious look.

"Sorry, about that."

"It's fine. Just know that if we need a parental signature for anything during the show, we might need to get Youngjae's ouija board."
