The Things We Kept Quiet About

okay so

Chan is a single father of two

Changbin and jisung

when he adopted those two, jisung had immediately clung to 2chan a lot

protect him he’s just a smog boi

Later on, chan found felix and decided he’d add him to his small family.

felix also had clung onto 2chan

changbin helped his dad a lot

especially when the chaotic twins happened

but Chan had a soft spot for felix right from the start, always have and always will

(and maybe to jisung too, but he doesn't say. Changbin just knows)

He then met Woojin, fell in love..you know that jazz

Turns out Wooj was also a single father of three woop hoop

They moved in together

it was a mess

Woojin had hyunjin, Seungmin and minho

Hyunjin was an emo child, so he didn't like chan’s kids at first, always picking fights with them

(damn hyunjin can't you chill)

he never fought with his own siblings, but minho was inevitable occasionally

when they moved in, the house was pretty big

(woochan were people who had money, so they can afford don't worry)

Jisung immediately latched onto minho and occasionally Woojin

Seungmin and changbin had petty fights

but they made up sooner or later

because changbin likes to baby the younger

The chaotic twins turned into the quadruplet mess

Later on, they would adopt Jeongin, the only child that woochan adopted together

the quadruplets absolutely adored him

Felix was always close to chan, but lately he had grown closer to Woojin

Chan didn’t mind since he himself is always working and can only spend so much time with each child

To which, he always gets scolded by woojin. but hey, he tries.

Chan knows that felix will always comes back to him anyway

like how when felix thinks Chan is asleep, he’d crawl onto the bed and sleep with him whenever nightmare season rolls around

or sometimes when he’s working in the home studio late at night, Felix will sleep on the couch behind him

Chan never tells anyone

Jisung is a whiny baby, so he would always have someone’s attention

but he just HAD to fight with another whiny baby, hyunjin who’s always fighting everyone

they HATED each other

but when no one is looking and the thunderstorms are raging at night,

wooj would find the both of them cuddled up to each other

Woojin never tells on them

Seungmin was ecstatic when he found out that they adopted another

He had always wanted someone younger than him!

Seungmin always babied jeongin even when the younger hated it up to the point where he got mad at seungmin

jeongin ignored him for a whole week

Seungmin had silently cried himself to sleep every night that week

When chan found Seungmin waking up at wee hours of the morning sporting a headache, his heart broke

he hugged the kid and said sweet nothings, after making him drink warm milk and take a pill

on friday night, Chan headed to seungmin’s room to check up on him

when he saw him clutching to jeongin’s shirt as they slept curled towards each other

Chan never told anyone

Changbin and Minho had always been awkward with each other

both being the oldest and the busiest with school to ever interact with each other

It wasn’t until Minho found changbin sitting alone on the swing set writing down lyrics that he decided to sit with him

Changbin didn't mind, sometimes asking for the older’s opinion and let him read his lyrics.

minho never really opened up to him

so when changbin found minho curling up in bed upset over a stray cat, it reminded him when he and jisung was smaller

he couldn’t bring himself to laugh at him

so he back-hugged him and they accidentally fell asleep like that

when Woojin went to wake them up for school, his heart swelled

he never told anyone about it

Woojin had always been strong for his children, and it didn't change when he gained another 4

The house was hectic 95% of the time but woochan wouldn't change it for the world

So when woojin fell sick, the kids were heart broken

Chan tried to assure them that it was just a fever

but woojin was bed ridden as his fever was running him over like train on tracks

When chan left to make him porridge, the kids entered the room one by one and snuggled into Woojin hoping he would heal faster that way

when chan found them, his heart went mush

he didn't tell wooj about it

Instead, he ushered them out afraid they will catch the fever from wooj and putting on a movie for them to watch together

and to lessen their worries

When woochan found them next morning, they were all tangled up on the couch, snuggled into each other while the credits were rolling

they never told anyone

And instead, they wrote down these memories of their family

alongside memories of the two families before they united

they kept writing in it until their children were no longer children

They never found out until chan gave it to them on what would be their one of their last christmas together

The quadruplet mess are now graduating universities, they had plans to travel the world. Jisung and Changbin went to help their dad with producing

Felix intended to go back to australia, but not without chan

Minho was a full-time dancer and jeongin stayed with woochan

Woojin had been diagnosed with cancer, and chan had old age disease

So he sat them all down one christmas as they gave their last present to the children

they sat around the christmas tree reading the stories out loud and showing the pictures that were attached with

The children also exchanged stories about things they kept from the parents

Woojin couldn’t bring himself to get angry when minho said he had snuck some alcohol and gave it to the quadruplets that one time when he just enrolled in uni

Chan had been stunned the whole time

“I can’t believe you hid that from us”

“its only fair when you hid all this from us!”

so they stayed up all night talking until they got tired

The kids started living their life

not even 3 years later, Woochan passed away in a freak accident

Thankfully, the driver of the other vehicle was arrested

chaotic twins had a full break down when they heard the news

jeongin could not stop crying

minho was angry at everything

the rest was speechless

The quadruplet mess turned into an actual mess after the funeral

changbin couldn’t bring himself to cry

the home they grew up in had never known silence as silent as this

it went on for three whole days

minho would never admit but he couldn't sleep without bawling his eyes out throughout the whole time

Changbin cooped up in Chan’s home studio before he started feeling suffocated and started exploring the house

He gathered everyone in the living room when he found the old photo albums and the book their parents gave three years back

They all flipped through the albums and shared stories from back then

For the first time since woochan’s deaths, they cracked up a smile as they reminisce the memories

The hole in their hearts accompanied by the sorrow of the losses never went away

but as they sort out things, they grew closer than ever

They went on with their lives as happy as they could

Once a year, they would gather at the family home, which changbin had taken over, and spend some time together for a week

they would visit their parent’s graves, updating their lives to them even though it sounded silly

but it helped them cope

thinking that maybe

just maybe

they were still listening and cared for them as much as they did when they were alive

now that they’re in heaven.
