Dul sighed as he clutches the small body close to himself, his dorm room was currently being ransacked by the group the kids he beat belonged in. He didn't want to get into any more trouble, so he hid in the closet making sure to listen out for anything. 'damnit. I left my phone with Inhyuk.' he thought bitterly as he tried to think of a way to get out or call for help. "Where's that faceless asshole!" He sighed as he scooted his body closer to the darker side. Even if he managed to make his smoke transparent enough they could easily sniff him out. 'this is bad...' he thought as he grit his teeth.
The closet door was opened, but before Dul could react he became tired. 'no, I'm too stressed! Damnit!' he thought as he tried to force himself awake. A crying baby was muffled as his eyes slowly closed, he couldn't go to sleep now! No! He wrapped his arms around Jieun as she cried, the baby was in fear for her father's life but she couldn't do much due to her father's tight hold onto him. "Papa!" The students stopped once they realized there was a baby with him. "Shit! Grab her!" She cried louder trying to get someone's attention.
"Damnit such her shut up!" The fumbled to quiet her but she only continued to cry while her father was in his deep sleep. "Ugh! Let's just take them both!" They struggled to take them both but eventually carried him to the beach where they were before. The female of the group managed to convince the others to leave Jieun alone but they managed to land a hit on Jieun. Jieun cried as she held her arms and dug her face into the female neck wanting to run and hide.
'whack!'
Jieun flinched at each sound of a punch hitting her father's body, the female felt her shaking and turned her away from the sight before covering her ears while whispering she was sorry. 'this isn't fair... He's sleeping... He won't wake up.' she cried to herself as she let her tears fall. 'no one's going to come.' she thought bitterly as she noticed at the corner of her sight her father's eyes opening but tears fell as he tried to reach out for her. "He's awake!" "Damnit!" Jieun hiccuped as she reached out for him only for his arm to be kicked away.
"Run." He whispered as smoke blew up in the area like before, Jieun shook her body away from the female before running away, she wobbled a bit but she managed to get away. The students screamed at the hot air but one of them managed to blow away the smokescreen. "You bastard!" He coughed up blood as his head hit the floor going back to sleep again.

Jieun cried softly to herself as she wobbled her way to somewhere safe, tears fell as she passed by many awakened who stared at her in worry but they all stood away not doing anything afraid of the consequences of their actions communicating with the child. She walked over to a student lightly tugging at their shirt. "Hello? Are you lost?" She nodded. "Where... Are... Unaffiliated?" She managed to get out, they grimaced before taking her hand showing her where they were.
Instructor Jang glared at them before pausing his sentence. "This class is for unaffiliated kids. What are you going here?" He asked as the student pointed at the child. "She was looking for you, sorry sir!" The student ran off leaving Jieun by herself. She shook as she stared at Jang who gave softened. "Hello, are you looking for someone?" He asked softly trying to make her relax before nodding. "Uncle... Inhyuk-" she stopped as her tears began to fall remembering her father being beaten up as he slept.
"Jieun?" Jiwoo peaked overseeing Dul's daughter his face turned worried as she ran over to him ignoring the pain in her arm. "Jiwoo!" She cried before fumbling over her words trying to tell him what happened but she couldn't speak too well. "It's okay. Slow down and tell us." Wooin said as he gently patted her head. She wiped her face before nodding calming down her hiccups.
"Papa... He fell asleep while someone..." She hiccuped before continued. "Mean kids took us to the sandy place! He's hurt! He's still asleep!" They looked shocked before noticing her arm. "Jieun your hurt!" She shook her head. "Papa woke up and told me to run! Help papa! Please!" She cried while Jang looked at the two. "Papa? What is his name?" Jiwoo and Wooin looked a bit nervous before answer. "Dul." Everyone's jaw dropped at the answer. "He has a kid?" Instructor Jang looked conflicted before sighing. "That explains his absence."
Jieun tightly held onto Wooin as they began to walk back, they go to the 'sandy place' and heard laughing. "They say he's powerful but look he's still fucking sleeping." A few more punches. "We should take a picture of his face and send it out. Maybe then he'll get killed." A few laughed before they walked over and lighted up his hat but Wooin reacted quickly. He activated his ability throwing a shot of energy at them.
"Papa!" Jieun got out of Jiwoo's hold making the gray-haired male shout for her to wait but she ran over and hugged his head making sure to hide his face. "Leave him alone!" She shouted as Instructor Jang gave a powerful shout. "You all will be punished! For assaulting an unaffiliated and misconduct." He turned to glare at them already knowing what group they were from. "I'm sure Shinhwa would have a lot to say about you hurting their loyal dog." They shivered before turning to run but a few claps were heard.
"My. My. My. It seems like my little mutt was beaten down... And his puppy was also hurt." A voice rang out as Inhyuk gave a smile. "Uncle!" Jieun cried as she sniffed. "He's still asleep!" Inhyuk glared at them. "Your right, Jang. Shinhwa will have to report this incident to the academy not only that." He gave a soft smile as he began to call a number. "I'll have to call his owner, she doesn't like it when her precious dog is hurt unfairly like this."
A cough was heard as Dul slowly woke up. 'everything hurts.' he thought as he could somewhat hear what Inhyuk said. "Inhyuk." The said male turned to look at Minki before dropping his phone and ran over to his side. "Damnit. You're still bleeding." He muttered as he gently moved his chin around looking if there was anything serious. "They're just kids..." He whispered out annoying Inhyuk. "Kids that beat you! Dul! You can just keep brushing these things off!" Dul gave a small laugh before leaning over and lightly bit the tip of his nose then placed his head onto his shoulders. "Inhyuk, please.""Not only that! You're the second in command of Shinhwa!" Dul mumbled against his suit, his body shook as he tightly held his hand. He wanted to leave, the sand-soaked blood and the smell of the ocean. It made him sick. He glanced at the view of the ocean, a silhouette appeared. "I falling asleep." He mumbled as his head flipped down and he didn't wake even after Inhyuk shook him harshly.
fun facts;; jieun original age was 6 months, but I've decided to make her three and like her father she selectively mute though she definitely talk more than he does.
