Namjoon and Seokjin are content.
They've been married for two years now and found a simple and steady business in a local shop that they opened just below their home.
The shop had a decent amount of customers and they were known for their warm and welcoming atmosphere.
They were especially great with children.
And after seeing all these little faces and tiny feet wandering around the shops, it made them want something like that of their very own.
They were more than ready to add to their small family.
The thought of having a child to love and care for, running around, makes their heart warm.
It was close to closing time, so the shop was empty.
"I can't wait to go to the orphanage tomorrow!" Seokjin beamed, restocking the shelves
"Me neither" Namjoon agreed, wiping the counter and register, "what do you think our new kid would be like?"
Seokjin shrugged,"who knows but all I know is that they'll be good looking like us".
They both chuckled.
"I wonder if we would have to adopt two"
"Two?"
Seokjin nodded" yeah, what if they have a friend down there, I wouldn't want to separate them at all"
Namjoon hummed, "that's true, I wouldn't want that either. Besides that just means more hands to help us around the shop!"
They continued their chatter, failing to notice someone entering the small shop.
A small boy with black hair looked around the shop curiously.
Eventually, they both noticed but weren't suspicious, expecting an adult to follow suit any moment.
But five minutes passed and no one else came inside.
Now they were suspicious.
What is such a young child doing here by himself?
Then out of nowhere, the child snatched a large bag of chips and ran out the shop
"Yah!" Namjoon was quick to chase after him, Seokjin following behind.
They ran after him for a few blocks until the child tripped over and fell onto the pavement.
His body popped the large bag open, crushed chips everywhere
Namjoon finally caught up and grabbed the kid by the back of the shirt, ready to scold him until he saw two slightly older children approach him frantically.
One tuggged on his shirt.
"P-Please mister, please put Kookie down" he said timidly as if he was about to cry.
Namjoon looked at the kid and the now sniffling child, 'Kookie' in his hand.
Namjoon sighed and set the child back on his feet,"Well kid, 'Kookie' took those chips from our shop without paying for them. You can get in a lot of of trouble for stealing you know."
Obviously he wasn't going to charge small children for taking chips but he has to make sure they understand.
"Kookie! Stealing is bad" the oldest said with a pout.
"Buh..Jimi...hungwy" Kookie hiccuped through sobs, wiping his eyes with his shirt sleeve.
The oldest simply patted Kookie's head "I know, but it's still bad"
"If you were hungry you can just ask your mother or father to buy it for you" Namjoon said calmly.
The three looked up at Namjoon, not saying a word for a few seconds.
"We don't have.." the other kid spoke up sadly.
"Oh..." Namjoon looked back at Seokjin then back at them, "then where do you guys live?"
"The orphanage, we went to the park close by and then Kookie got hungry and ran here because it was close by. We all got ice cream here before", 'Jimi' explained.
Namjoon and Seokjin shared a knowing look.
It was hard to be mad or even scold them, especially if they didn't mean any harm.
Seokjin nodded.
Namjoon gave them a small smile, "come with us, we can feed you if you're hungry"
They were back upstairs of the shop where the couple lived.
The four were sat at the table, waiting for Seokjin who was in the kitchen.
Seokjin retuned and placed small bowls of soup and rice and steamed pork buns in front of them.
Luckily he made enough dinner earlier so that everyone could be fed well, including himself and Namjoon.
The three boys eyed the food in amazement.
"You may eat" Seokjin chuckled at their amazement.
Soon they tucked in, the sound of loud slurping, satisfied hums and the clanking of cutlery and plates, filled the small dining room.
Seokjin smiled, "it's good right?" The three children nodded in agreement.
"Of course it is,you're a great cook" Namjoon smiled proudly
That's when they learnt their names and that Jimin was the oldest, only being 6 years old. Taehyung was 5 and Jungkook was 3.
Jungkook, being the youngest, was the messiest eater, getting soup all over his cheeks and chin.
The adults laughed at the adorable site.
"Jungkook-ah, you're so messy" Seokjin got a napkin and wiped the child's face and he smiled at Seokjin. Seokjin couldn't help but smile back fondly.
Namjoon in that moment took in the site at the table.
It was like he had a family, just like they wanted.
Eating together as one and watching their children grow bigger and stronger with each meal and each passing day.
That was such a comforting thought.
Soon they were done, the children politely thanking them for the food.
Seokjin excused himself, planning to call the orphanage.
"Hello?"
"Ah goodnight, this is Kim Seokjin. Me and my husband were supposed to come tomorrow."
"Oh good evening Mr.Kim. Is something wrong?"
"Well not exactly. We found three boys today that claim they're from this orphanage. They're in our home at the moment"
"Oh! those three boys?!? I'm so sorry for any trouble they might have caused you. I guess I'll have to let the police know that they're not lost anymore"
"It's no trouble at all. They're angels actually. Tell me something, are they all brothers?"
"No they're not brothers, by they're so close that you'd think they are. We call them 'the three ducklings', they go everywhere together. Many times one of the three was supposed to be adopted but they refused to leave the other two behind. Unfortunately not many people want to adopt three children at once..."
"I see. Well, we will bring them tomorrow and sign the papers, we want them all" Seokjin declared confidently.
There was no denying that Namjoon and Seokjin fell in love with the kids at dinner.
Each of them had such sweeet and unique personalities that anyone would adore.
He couldn't dream of sending those boys back to be adopted by anyone else.
He knows that Namjoon feels the exact same.
The way he spoke and acted around them said it all.
This was their new family. Without a doubt.
It was easy to tell from her voice that she wasn't expecting that response but was happy nonetheless, "Oh! that's wonderful! Thank you so much Mr. Kim. Have a goodnight".
With that, Seokjin hanged up the phone with a smile.
Namjoon entered the room, overhearing some of the conversation.
"You told them that we're keeping them right?" Namjoon asked eagerly.
"Of course, they're our boys now"
Namjoon grinned, "this is why we're married, I didn't even have to tell you" he cupped Seokjin's face gently and kissed him.
They were ecstatic. Rambling on about where they would sleep, buying matching outfits and wanting them to involved in a hobby like music or dancing.
"Where are they anyways?" Seokjin asked
"Watching TV in the living room"
"Do you want to tell them now?" Seokjin couldn't contain his smile.
Namjoon nodded rapidly.
They shared one more kiss before walking into the living room where the three boys were watching a show.
"Jimin-ah, Taehyung-ah, Jungkook-ah. Come here please" the three looked over and stumbled over to them curiously.
Namjoon breathed in and out before speaking.
"Would you like to stay with us? We can be a family, together" Namjoon asked, holding Seokjin's hand nervously, praying they'd like the idea.
The three stared at the couple, frozen.
"Us? All of us?" Taehyung asked, as if it was hard to believe.
"Of course! You're a team right? We can't split you guys up. We can adopt all three of you tomorrow!"
Their mouths dropped opened, looking at each other in shock before they unfroze and started cheering excitedly.
They held hands with the adults and jumped around in excitement.
"We have a home! We have a home!" The three chanted while skipping around in a circle, holding each other's hands.
The couple laughed and skipped around with them happily.
The three little ducklings had a fun filled childhood with their Appa (Seokjin) and Papa (Namjoon).
The couple realized that having three children was perfect. They wouldn't change it for anything.
