Our jaws dropped to the floor, eyes gawking at the formerly naked boy I dragged from the beach. He had his mouth closed, smiling and eye twinkling as he stared back at each and everyone of us. The boy couldn't speak but he could sing like damn. However, there was one teeny tiny teensy weensy problem.

"What the fuck was that language?" Hoseok popped the very obvious question that we all probably had in our minds minus the swear word.

"Bitch don't even start asking stupid questions." Jimin, who was still pissed, said to Hoseok.

"Bitch." The boy spoke, his speaking voice was so nice, a little bit deeper than when he sang. "Bitch?" He tilted his head like a cute teddy bear.

"Oh my gosh, no." I stepped in, speaking to him in a slow manner, "You shouldn't say that. It's a bad word." I added then sent a glare to Jimin.

He looked at me with wide eyes. God, he's basically a kid.

"Okay. So he can't speak our language." Namjoon said, looking at us. "Can we use gestures to talk to him?"

"I think he understands though." Yoongi examined the boy closely, squinting his small eyes into tiny ones. "But I can't decide whether he's smart or dumb. What do you think, Jin?"

We all turned our heads to the eldest, "I think he won't survive a day if we throw him back out there." He said.

"So he's going to live with us?" Jungkook's eyes got big for no reason then he pursed his lip and gave it a thought, "Well, I think we could be friends."

The boy grinned widely when our eyes were on him again. I rubbed my eyes gently and stared at him again, his eyes gazed into mine. I wasn't seeing a person anymore but a cute puppy with big brown eyes. I could imagine his tail wagging and his ears popping up. Damn it, I wanna pet him.

"Aw, he likes you." Hoseok cooed. "Are we going to name him?"

"Maybe he has a name already." Namjoon said and then turned to the boy, mimicking the pace by which I talked to him earlier, "What's your name?"

"Bitch." The boy said, sending Jungkook howling in laughter as he rolled on the floor. The rest of them had their heads down, holding their laughter in. I glared at Jimin.

"What? I didn't know he was a fast learner." He shrugged his shoulders as he pulled Jungkook up from the floor.

"Great, really great." Was my sarcastic remark.

"Why don't you name him, Haesung? You're the one who found him." Jungkook was still grinning when he was finally done mopping the floor.

I rolled my eyes at him and looked the boy again. He looked up at me with innocent eyes. "How about V?" I said then he smiled.

"V?" Jungkook reiterated, "Where'd that come from?"

"I don't know. You asked me to name him so V." I said, waiting for approval from my brothers, "Plus he looks like a V kind of person, don't you think?"

"V is much better than bitch." Jimin approved with a grin.

"I like the sound of V." Yoongi added, "If anyone asks what it means, tell them it stands for Very swag."

"I approve!" Hoseok smile was wider than anybody else's when I faced him, "I feel like we're adopting a new family member except he wasn't born but dragged here butt naked but that's fine. Wonderful!"

Namjoon just nodded then threw the spotlight to Jin, "Guess it's V then." He said and flashed a smile at the clueless looking boy, "Welcome to our family. It's a bit chaotic but you'll get used to it soon."

➿

Thud.

I shot up from my bed when I heard the loud noise from the hallway. It was too early for anyone to be awake. The blankets flew across my bed as I dangle my feet from the bed. I walked to my door and found someone bent over the floor.

I switched the lights on and squinted a bit until my eyes adjusted to the brightness, "V?" I said and he turned his head towards me, "What're you doing?"

Jimin and Yoongi's door opened, "What's that noise?" Jimin grumbled, peeking out of the room as he barely kept his eyes open. He looked down on the floor, "V? What the hell."

Another door opened and Jin came out, "Hey. What was that sound just now?"

Pretty soon everybody awake and out of their rooms except for Yoongi cause he came in early in the morning from his work. We never knew what V was doing bent over the floor of our hallway that morning. We didn't bother hearing an explanation from him since he could barely say his singled letter name.

"Eat up, kids." Jin placed the breakfast on the table. He swatted Jungkook's hand when he reached for the eggs, "You get one egg and that's it."

"What? Why?" Jungkook whined. "I need protein. I'm a growing boy, hyung."

"You've grown enough." Jin said, moving the plate away from Jungkook's reach, "Can't have you out growing your clothes again. It's not fair that we always buy you clothes."

I sat beside jungkook, dressed in my high school uniform. Behind me was V, sitting himself next to me, wearing the same clothes we gave him yesterday.

"Why don't we give Jungkook's old clothes to V?" I suggested while eating almost half a bowl of rice.

"I'll get it later. Feed him first." Jin replied, giving V his meal but he just stared at it and then back at me.

"Eat." I told him. He picked up his chopsticks and we watched how he struggled with holding it between his fingers.

"Give him a spoon. He'll pass out from starvation by the time he figures out how to use chopsticks." Yoongi said as he entered the kitchen and sat with us, across V.

"Hey we're heading out!" Namjoon and Hoseok shuffled past the kitchen, on their way to attend school. They're college students in the day and part time workers after school hours.

"We're late so we're skipping breakfast." Hoseok said before they left.

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!" Jin chased after them but they were already outside. "Those rebels. They think skipping meals is good."

"What's for breakfast?" Jimin joined us on the table.

He's also in high school but he's graduating soon. He wore his uniform neatly with his collar and neck tie crisp to perfection. You can't say anything bad about him in school because he's the perfect role model, on top of that, he's the student council president. But at home, he swears more than he grows.

"Doing good, V." Jimin said as he watched V eating with the spoon.

"You kids finish up eating. I'm heading out to work." Jin has finished his motherly task for this morning. He removed his apron and fixed his hair in front of the mirror, smoothing it back. "Yoongi, you don't have work today, right?"

"Yeah." Yoongi replied just as he finished eating.

"Great. You can watch the house and V." Jin said. We glanced at V, who was halfway through his meal. "Just make sure he doesn't hurt himself with his curiosity."

Yoongi gave Jin a thumbs up but his face remained blank, "Go. Make lots of money."

"We're leaving for school too." I stood up and got Jungkook to leave the table because we are going to be late if I don't pull him away from his beloved eggs.

V looked up from his plate then at me. He seemed curious so I explained to him. "We are going to school. To study and be nice." I said, pointing to Jungkook and myself while pretending to write in the air.

"Just so you know, you just look stupid, Haesung." Jungkook said before going ahead of me, "We're going! Bye hyung. Bye V!"

V followed us to the door and just watched, chewing the food stuffed in his mouth while standing in the entry way with Yoongi behind him.

"Be good." I told him. I waved goodbye and flashed him a smile, "See you later. Bye V."

He gulped down his food and imitated me waving back at him, "Bye."
