16 years ago...

 

'Yeobo... I don't want to...'

'I don't want it either... But it's the best for them. We can't take care of them and I don't want them to suffer from a scandal...'

The two 16 years old looked at each other. The boy had pulled his hoodie over his head, hiding his face. The girl looked at him. Together they stepped forwards and knocked on the door.

The door opened. An elderly woman looked down upon the two.

'Please...' The girl started. 'Take care of our babies. We aren't capable of taking care of them...'

The ahjumma softly smiled at the two. She stretched out her arms and gently grabbed the bundle of blankets.

'Good luck Soohyun,' the girl whispered.

'I hope you'll get adopted by an awesome family,' the boy whispered.

The ahjumma took the baby girl inside. A minute later, she returned and took the second baby.

'Fighting Sooyoung,' the two said.

The woman took the second baby inside. A minute later, she came back. The couple handed the third and last child.

'Stay strong Sooyeon,' the young parents said.

After Sooyeon was taken inside, the woman returned again.

'Don’t worry,' she told them. 'I'm sure they’ll get adopted by a lovely family.'

The couple smiled sadly. They exchanged phone numbers and left.

 

2 months later...

 

TRING!

'Hello?' the boy said.

'Hello? Is this Choi Dongwook?'

'Yes?'

'We are calling about your triplets.'

'One moment, I'll call the mother.'

'Sora!' Dongwook yelled.

Kim Sora walked out of her writer's room (Dongwook was at Sora's house now. Her parents are out).

'Yes honey?'

Dongwook looked at her.

'It's about the kids.'

Sora took a seat.

The woman on the other side started talking again:

'They got adopted. The girls are on their way to New York now.'

 

Present, New York, Roosevelt Estate…

 

‘Honey! Get the camera!’ Sophie Green yelled. ‘The girls are about to something stupid! Again…’

David Green quickly the camera and focused it on the triplets they had adopted 16 years ago. He yelled something.

‘Be caref- ‘

‘I’M FALLING!!!’

Two girls fell out of a tree. They groaned in pain.

‘HAHA!’ Roxie yelled, still in the tree. ’I’M STILL HERE! I’M THE QUEEN OF THE TREE!!! BOW FOR ME PEASANTS!!!’

‘3…’ Chanti started.

‘Huh?’ Roxie said from the tree.

‘2…’ Gabri said with a mischievous smile on her face.

‘Uh-oh…’ Roxie said, now understanding what was going to happen. ‘DON’T YOU-‘

‘1!!!’

The two youngest ran towards the tree and bumped into it. The tree started to shake and Roxie fell out.

‘You *peep* *peep* *peep* idiots,’ she yelled.

Chanti and Gabri giggled.

‘I COULD HAVE BROKEN MY NECK!’

The two youngest didn’t say anything. Then they smiled like idiots and said something completely irrelevant to what happened.

‘Little birdie in the sky,’ Chanti started.

‘Dropped a poopie in my eye,’ Gabri giggled.

‘I didn’t scream.’

‘I didn’t cry.’

‘I just thanked God.’

‘That cows can’t fly!’

And then they ran away.

‘YAH!’  Roxie yelled. ‘THAT WAS COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT TO WHAT YOU GUYS JUST DID! GET BACK HERE! YAH!’

She chased after them.

 

Back at home….

 

‘All right!’ Roxie said happily. ‘I’m going to practice singing! Chanti, I need a new song. Could you write one for me?’

‘Sure,’ Chanti said. ‘Give me three days.’

‘Roxie unnie,’ Gabri said. ‘Let’s compose the music together after Chanti unnie finished the lyrics.’

‘Let’s do that!’ Roxie said while wrapping her arm around the youngest.

‘I’m going to start writing now,’ Chanti said. She disappeared into her room.

‘I’m going to listen to EXO,’ Gabri said dreamily. ‘I need to hear Luhan’s voice again…’

Roxie giggled. ‘Fangirl.’

Gabri disappeared into her room, leaving Roxie. She went towards the music room to practice another song.

Roxie finished the song (Teddy Bear by LYN). She put away her mic and walked towards her room. She plopped down on the bed and got lost in thoughts again.

Even though they are growing up in America, they decided to learn Korean, Chinese and Japanese.  This is because their parents are the CEO of a big company, which is active in the whole world, Asia in special.

They were often told that they don´t look like their parents at all. They looked typical Caucasian while the girls looked like typical East-Asians. Sophie and David always said to them that it was because they have an Korean aunt. That must be it. There can´t be another reason.

Right?
