the sound of paper moving was heard as talking was echoing across the room. papers with children's name and faces were skipped and some were placed in the 'maybe' pile.

"what gender would you like?" the male behind the desk asked the couple on the other side.

"we actually decided on a boy," the female smiled.

"we have a couple of boys in need of a home. would you want to see all of them or do you have some more preferences?"

"we would like to see all of them."

"okay, first i will should you their file and after reviewing them, we can show you the child and see if they would be comfortable being your child," the male explained. the couple nodded, excited of getting a son of themselves.

"first, we have jeong jongseok. he is fifteen years old and has been needing a parent for seven years. he gets good grades and the only bad thing he's done was talk rumors about another child. would you like to adopt him?" the male asked, giving the couple the kid's file. the couple looked at each other and back to the file but they didn't feel a connection with the kid, so they passed.

"okay, second, this child's name is jung hoseok. he was abandoned at birth and has never received a permanent home, his age at the moment is thirteen. he has a condition that weakened his heart and his life span decreased due to his disease. he hasn't done anything wrong or bad. would you like to adopt him?"

the couple thought about it a lot more. they obviously felt bad about the suffering of the boy but they just didn't feel a connection. the female looked at the profile picture and her heart sank. the boy's smile was so bright that she had second thoughts. but she wanted to agree with her husband. so they passed on the boy.

"the third child we have is min yoongi. he came at the age of nine and is still in need of a home. he came in our care because his parents didn't have enough responsibility for raising a child. he is well in grades but he isn't excellent. would you like to adopt him?"

the couple both grew smiles once they saw the boy's picture. his smile was bright and genuine.

he was looking at hoseok behind the camera.

the couple looked at each other with smiles and they agreed. they both looked at the male behind the counter and they said it at the same time, "we want to adopt him."

the male smiled with them and grabbed yoongi's file. he put it in a stack called 'hold'. the couple was so excited to meet their son. after a long time waiting, after years of trying, they would finally get a son.

at home, yoongi was silently crying. he was in his bed with his blankets all over himself. he didn't feel this type of way since the day that namjoon was driving him to the foster care facility. yoongi could see himself in misery with his tears running down his face. his mother tried everything she could to get him out but nothing worked.

hoseok had to stay at the hospital for a couple of days to make sure that an accident wouldn't happen again. he was alive but barely. hoseok had tubes all over him and a mask over his face. his beautiful face was half covered due to his disease and yoongi didn't like it.

yoongi was at home, knowing that hoseok couldn't be by his side. he really wanted to see his little brother. he wanted to hug him to sleep and give him all the stuff animals he could find. he wanted hoseok to be home so he could be happy.

"yoongi, you need to come out. it's an emergency," the mother called from yoongi's room. yoongi stopped crying and starred at the door with curiosity. he didn't know if it was about hoseok or his mother just wanting him to come out of the room. yoongi sat up from his bed and thought about opening the door.

yoongi slowly approached the door and opened it. his mother had eyes that were slightly red and teary. yoongi looked up and just wanted to comfort his mother. he wanted to know what was wrong and just make her happy.

"what's wrong? did something happen to hobi?" yoongi's heart was racing but it wasn't that.

"let's go downstairs when you finish getting ready, okay?" the mother slightly smiled. yoongi didn't question her, instead he went back inside his room to get ready. his room was a simple white with some decorations. his bed didn't have much accessories like hoseok did. hoseok decorated his room as if he was living there permanently.

yoongi finished putting on his shoes and hoodie and went downstairs. there he saw taehyung and his mother sitting on the couch. taehyung was slouching and his arms were covering his eyes, stressed out. his mother was just starring at the wall in front of her but she turned her neck once she heard yoongi at the stairs.

"we're all ready, let's head out," the mother got her keys and went outside the house, so did the other two.

taehyung sat on the passenger seat. yoongi sat by himself. yoongi starred out the car window and thought about all the memories he had with hoseok over the years.

"don't ever do that every again unless i say so," yoongi said to a sleepy hoseok, he never laid his head on yoongi's shoulder ever again.

yoongi could feel the heavy weight of a head on his shoulder but he didn't say anything at that moment. the weight faded away and yoongi shedded a tear. he shouldn't have said that. he shouldn't have said that. the boy was just tired and yoongi only scared hoseok into following whatever he said. yoongi closed his eyes and imagined hoseok beside him. he saw hoseok's glowing body beside him and he smiled once more. but right after he opened his eyes, he was gone.

yoongi's thoughts were interrupted when the car came to a stop. they weren't at the hospital, they were at the foster care facility. the last place the yoongi wanted to be in at the moment.

the mother sighed heavily and got out of the car, as well as taehyung. yoongi didn't want to go in but he needed to when his mother opened his car door for him. yoongi hopped out of the car and held his mothers hand. his other hand was empty.

the three entered the building and the kids were looking at him, they all gasped. yoongi hid behind his mother's torso, like he did when namjoon brought him in the very first time. the kids just starred at the boy, they didn't talk or whisper but they all had the same question.

jimin and jeongguk ran up to him and asked him the number one question, "where is hoseok?"

yoongi shut his eyes as close as he could to hide his pain. so people wouldn't be able to enter his soul by looking in his eyes. he didn't want to cry in front of other kids. "h-he's not here."

then out of nowhere, a couple came out from a door and smiled when they saw yoongi but frowned when the saw him crying, "what's wrong, darling?"

yoongi looked at the strangers. he looked at his mother and his mother had teary eyes as she just smiled saying, "go head," quietly. yoongi let go of his mother's hand and looked at the strangers.

"m-my brother is at the ho-hospital," yoongi cried out, giving everyone their answer. some went wide eyed and some started crying. yoongi hated them so much. how can someone be so inhuman to someone when their well but feel bad for them when their in the hospital fighting for their life.

"i'm so sorry that happened. what's your brother's name?" the female asked, bending down to yoongi's height.

"h-h-hoseok, he couldn't bre-breathe. his heart isn't pumping well," yoongi cried more. some of the kids went away to cry by themselves, they couldn't hear any more.

the female looked up at the male that gave the suggestions and questions why he didn't tell her that he had a brother but the male was confused as well. that was when the mother stepped in.

"he grew attached to hoseok ever since he was assigned to me to foster. they call each other brothers since they've been living together for so long now," the mother stopped herself. she didn't want the couple to take him away from her. she didn't want yoongi leaving her but she needed to do her job. she's been doing this for years now, she can't break now. the couple only decided on adopting one child but at the moment they didn't know that to do.

"taehyung is also his brother. they are all brothers, all three of them," the mother pulled taehyung in front of her. he was crying his eyes out. his sweater paws were wet from crying so much but no one paid attention to him so he kept crying until then. the couple looked at him with sorry eyes. they couldn't adopt three children and taehyung understood.

"i-i-i understand," taehyung turned around and hugged his mother. he never wanted to lose any of his brothers.

everything happened so quick. yoongi didn't think he was being adopted. he never thought that that could happen. it wasn't until yoongi was told my his mother that he was adopted by someone else that wasn't her. yoongi asked if he was going with hoseok, she answered no. and his heart broke. his heart shattered into a millions pieces. he wanted to die.
