*MAJORLY REWORKING BG --- twins + lil brother, not triplets*
Ma Muchen was born the second of three, fraternal triplets. The youngest was the epitome of chaos, and the oldest was very reserved, not enjoying meeting new people or talking in general. Muchen was the one who stepped up and took care of his brothers for the most part. In his mind, if he didn't take care of them no one else would. This was because, while technically their parents were in their lives, they didn't care.
By the time the boys were starting elementary school, their parents were burnt out. Raising three babies had taken its toll on them, and despite having wanted the best for them in the beginning, resentment built up. During their elementary years they didn't notice it as much since their parents would still feed them and provide them with the necessities. When they turned 12 and Muchen took a single cooking class, however, it all ended.
Starting from that moment onward, he would be the one to cook meals for the family and get groceries. The youngest triplet was in charge of keeping the lawn presentable and the oldest of keeping the inside of the house clean, but Muchen would still do his best to help with each of their tasks. In some aspects, Muchen would look at his life and consider himself lucky. At least, he thought, his parents were still together. And they never laid a hand on any of the three boys.
Life remained this way until the boys turned 18. Muchen immediately packed his bags, and his brothers followed. They landed in Shanghai with nothing to their names, but they made things work. They found jobs and shared a small room, rented from a man who was actually quite sketchy. The fact that six months passed without incident was a miracle. At the end of those six months, the three got on yet another plane with visas that none of them were quite sure how they obtained, and moved to Seoul.
They moved into an apartment together, this one being far more expensive than their previous residence, but far safer and far more spacious. Muchen got a job at a small cafe, once again alongside his brothers, and while the other two remained content with where their lives ended up, Muchen longed for something more. He went to audition after audition in his freetime, failing one after the other until he was finally accepted into Lotus Entertainment. He knew that here he would be able to start a new chapter of his life, with the undying support of his brothers if no one else.
