NEO Family

Hide and seek with hyung

"No! This is so stupid! I am not a baby!" Yushi shook his head.

"Well your acting like one!" Renjun snapped. He had no idea where Taeil was now and he was scared but he was trying his best to not show it. Yushi glared at him and then turned, yanking his arm out of Renjun's tight grip, and ran in the opposite direction. Renjun watched him, with wide eyes before coming to his senses and following his younger brother. There was no way he was going to risk Taeil finding him without Yushi.

Meanwhile, Taeil was slowly losing his mind. He had promised Taeyong that he wouldn't lose any of the kids and he had lost all of them. Except one. Jaehyun was still standing by the cart, trying to look calm but his eyes betrayed him, flicking first to the left and then to the right as he scanned the area once or twice every minute.

"Shouldn't we look for them?" Jaehyun finally put his phone down and looked at Taeil.

"I wouldn't know where to start" Taeil admitted.

"Well dad's going to kill you if you come back with even one of the kids missing so you might want to figure something out soon if you want to still be alive when the day ends" Jaehyun pointed out. He wasn't helping at all but he knew that.

"Stay here. I'm going to look around. Maybe ask a worker for help" Taeil abandoned the cart and his brother to go find a worker.

"See ya" Jaehyun waved, going back to pretending to look at his phone. Taeil kept walking, hoping that he would find his brothers before he had to embarrass himself by asking a store worker for help.

"Jeno, look at that!" Jaemin pointed to one of the top shelves, getting his twins attention. Jeno looked up where he was pointing, not even noticing Taeil walking past. The oldest stopped in the aisle his brothers were in, waiting for them to notice. Jaemin saw him stop but it took a minute for him to turn and look, wondering why someone was just standing there and not doing anything.

"Run!" Jaemin pushed Jeno but they didn't make it very far. Taeil caught both of them by the back of their shirts, pulling them back.

Taeil let go of Jaemin, turning to Jeno and doing the same before turning both boys to face him.

"What was the one rule?!" He demanded to know, wanting to make sure they remembered.

"Stay with you and don't wander" Jaemin huffed, both hands going back to rub at his bottom.

"So you do remember?" Taeil snapped.

"Sorry hyung, we got distracted" Jeno hung his head. Taeil took both of them by the hand, ignoring the embarrassed complaints they gave him as he walked both younger twins back to where Jaehyun was.

"Oh, you found them" Jaehyun gave the two youngest of the triplets a dark look. Taeil forcefully placed Jeno and Jaemin's hands on the cart, swatting both of them once more before turning to Jaehyun.

"Make sure they stay here. If they let go of the cart even once, you have my permission to smack them" Taeil decided.

"Hyung!" Jaemin and Jeno argued.

"Hush!" Surprisingly, it was Jaehyun that scolded them instead of Taeil. The oldest gave his brother a proud nod and walked off again to find the remaining seven boys. He found Ryo and Sakuya next, tucking both of them under one arm and giving each five quick spanks that would seem like love taps to the older boys.

"Do you know where your brothers went?" Taeil wondered, carrying both of them back to Jaehyun.

"Lele, Sion and Sungie hyungs went that way. They were staying with us but they got distracted" Ryo tattled, having no problem doing so. It was Chenle and Jisung's fault that they got separated from the others in the first place. And it was Sion who did nothing to stop either of them. Though there wasn't much that Sion might have been able to do in the first place considering both Chenle and Jisung were older than him.

Taeil sighed. Just great; so not only did the boys wander off but the older ones left their five year old brothers alone in the middle of the store. Taeil was furious and he was intent on giving Sion, Chenle and Jisung a loud, long lecture when he found them. At least all of the boys had stayed paired up. Taeil didn't know if Renjun and Yushi stayed together but he was hoping that Renjun hadn't let Yushi walk off alone. Then there would be real problems. Taeil left the maknaes with Jaehyun and went off to find Renjun, Yushi, Chenle and the not-twins.

"Lee Chenle! Lee Jisung! Lee Sion!" Taeil brought all three to a halt. None of them turned to him until he was right behind them.

"Wait! We can explain" Jisung panicked.

"Oh yeah, I would love to hear why you not only disobeyed me but left your five year old brothers alone in the middle of the store" Taeil spanked all of them, dragging the three boys back to the rest of his brothers. It was another hour before he found Renjun, walking around alone with tears gathering in the corners of his eyes.

"Renjun!" Taeil ran over to him.

"Hyung! I am so sorry. I lost Yushi" Renjun finally burst into tears.

"It's okay. Do you know where he went?" Taeil wondered, kneeling down to his brothers height.

"I-um, I don't think he went anywhere. I walked away from him and then I went back where I last saw him but he wasn't there. He might be looking for me" Renjun lied. He couldn't get Yushi in trouble. Renjun blamed himself for losing Yushi so he was taking the blame. Taeil stood up. Part of him didn't believe Renjun and knew that his brother was lying but at the same time, Renjun didn't lie often and Taeil didn't see any reason why he would now.

"Why would you do that? I told him to stay with one of you. Imagine how scared he must be right now" Taeil scolded, conveying his anger.

"I'm sorry. I've been trying to find him but I can't!" Renjun did feel bad for not having a tighter hold on his brother, for not being able to keep up with Yushi. Taeil took his hand, pulling him closer.

"Let's go. I want you to stay with Jaehyun while I find Yushi. If you disobey me on this, then you will be in so much more trouble once dad finds out" Taeil warned.

"Your going to tell him!?" Renjun squealed.

"Yes! All of you know better than to walk away from an adult in the store. I might not be dad but the rules are the same" Taeil lectured.

"You're not an adult" Renjun reminded him, ducking down when Taeil went to smack him over the head.

"Yay! Just one more. Are we going home after this?" Jaehyun was starting to get tired. The boys had been running around him, complaining and pleading with him to convince Taeil not to tell Taeyong.

"Yes. I'll come back tomorrow to get what I needed" Taeil nodded. He was too tired, mentally, to deal with trying to shop after the past two hours that he just experienced.

"Yushi's here" Jaemin pointed. Yushi came over, climbing into the cart beside the twins and shoving his face in his arms without a single word.

"Okay?" Taeil was a little unnerved by that but at least Yushi was there. They all went home and Taeil, much to the younger boys' dismay, told Taeyong what happened. The triplets, Chenle, the not-twins, Yushi and the twins spent the next five to twelve minutes sitting in corners, on steps or in their rooms with sore bottoms.
