[The presence of an extremely fortunate individual has forcefully reset the crap metre]

The crap level in Lee Hyunjins life had dropped greatly due to the fact an extremely fortunate individuals presence was cancelling out his ability to attract crap therefore there was no crap for the crap metre to quantify.

Things like tripping over nothing or random things falling onto him, finding little cuts from who's knows where on his body or -a series of random and embarrassing events happening to him in succession in front of a large crowd-hadn't happened at all.

He was at ease but at the same time he was anxious. It was never good for him to experience such a crap free life... it usually meant something really really crappy was going to happen to him like the calm before the storm.

And as always, Lee Hyunjins ability to detect oncoming crap was scarily accurate.

When Hanuel came back, Lee Hyunjin left the kids to Eun and went to see him to tell him about Lee Byeol.

He knocked on the door to Hanuel bedroom and waited less than three seconds before the door was opened.

"Jinjin... I thought you were avoiding me," Hanuel said.

Lee Hyunjin didn't think he'd outright burn the bush down rather than beat around it so he tensed up and failed to respond for quite a while.

Hanuel sigh and stepped back, pulling the door along with him to make way for Lee Hyunjin. "How about we have a talk," there was neither cheeriness nor haughtiness in his tone, he was serious.

Lee Hyunjin stepped through the door to find the room was just as grandly decorated as all the other rooms in the mansion.

Fancy bed posts and white sheets with intricate gold coloured designs. A soft dark red carpet underneath that contrasted beautifully. White marble walls and french windows.

There was a wardrobe high as the roof  and it actually covered the entire wall it was leaning on... just how many clothes does this guy have?

Thinking like this, Lee Hyunjin moved his gaze towards Hanuel's outfit. It was similar to the one he wore when they first met except instead of the suit being white it was black with silvers linings and a dark blue cape attached.

"Do you want one?" Hanuel asked referring to his suit.

Lee Hyunjin felt embarrassed at being caught staring and he kept silent. He was wasn't expecting to hear words like that not in this situation.

Although Lee Hyunjin had firmly rejected going with Kim Jaehyun and said he'd stay here, he was actually doubtful of whether or not Hanuel would let him stay.

He figured that if he did, then it would probably be so he can help remove the corruption and that's it.

After all, Hanuel had seen his eyes, no one outside his family stayed nice to him after seeing them back on earth. Eun was considered family and even though he hated to admit it, he couldn't help but fear the moment she'd would also reject him and call him a freak, or perhaps mutant like all the others did.

Hanuel was even further outside the line Eun stood on. They'd only known each other for two weeks at best, how could he expect Hanuel to be so accepting? That would just be wishful thinking on his part.

Lee Hyunjin's silence made Hanuel frown. He was genuinely confused by Lee Hyunjin's change in attitude towards him.

"When you're done training, I'll give you your own suit," Hanuel said but that didn't seem to garner a reaction from Lee Hyunjin who at this point lowered his head again.
