"Hello, You must be Kai. I'm Win" A long and possibly soft reached out to the small child. Win was trying his best not to break from his smiling facade. Years of having his own child, He can tell how this kid doesn't particularly give warm welcomes- let alone the child is nervous not bothering to hide it.

Bright looked up and down from Kai to Win. As awkward tension eloped between the two, He intentionally cleared his throat. He knelt until he's at Kai's height, tapping slightly on his shoulder bringing back his spaced out son to reality. "Kai, Say hello to Win" Bright started initiating a conversation for them.

Kai stood there frozen as he stared at the gentle figure. As if his brain shut down all completely yet he cannot forget his manners- never in Kai's book. He quickly regained his posture, accepting Win's hand. Even so, Kai can't help but still feel shy infront of him. "Hello, I'm Kai. Nice to meet you"

Win giggled a little, He found the child's action cute. Reminds him of his own daughter when she meets new people. Win smiled as he lightly shakes their hands. "Nice to meet you too. I hope we get along" He insisted earning a nod from the small child.

Bright walked alongside them, inviting both of them inside. Leading them to their spacious living room, He dropped Kai's bag on the couch as he eyed Win and Kai who are having rather a joyous conversation.

He felt his pocket vibrated, crawling his hand, Bright saw his secretary's name. His chest felt heavy, eyeing his phone and Win and Kai. Bright sighed as he left a message to his secretary. Bright grabbed his coat and car keys and marched his way towards the two.

"Win, Can I talk to you for a bit" Bright mutter, Win nodded and followed leaving Kai on the living room already playing with his gadgets. Bright lead Win to the kitchen, turning his way towards him.

"Look I need to go. I trust that you can handle everything? Kai is not a fuzzy kid so you won't have any problems with him." Bright continued, He doesn't particularly need to go from the beginning of their agreement, of what Win needs to do and don't. After all, Win is not stupid.

Win nodded rapidly, He already knows everything that he needs to do. Talking to Kai personally was a great help to him either. The child seems nice and obedient, which Win sighed in relief. "Don't worry, I'll take care of him" Win said with a smile.

Bright smiled back, "I will be back from office. Don't wait for me at night" Bright stated leaving the kitchen with Win trailing behind him. As he reached back to the living room, He knelt down infront of the sofa. Bright swayed the Kai's bangs who's clearly busy playing his game. "I'll get going now. Be good alright?" Bright reminded, kissing Kai's forehead and cheek.

Bright patted Win's shoulder saying his goodbyes, He moved forward and drove off leaving the two behind. Win waved alongside the Kai before dropping his hand onto the top of his head ruffling the boy's soft hair. "Should we go inside?" He asked gaining a nod from the boy.

It's been an hour or two, Win didn't bother counting anymore. He felt slightly awkward by Kai's presence, Win isn't used by another kid's presence besides Miyara. Moreover, The kid was quiet- too quiet- making Win paranoid of Kai's well-being. He already let him eat the food prepared by one of the maids in the house after that Kai went to his room.

Looking at the clock, Win realized he still has an hour left before going home. Bright allowed Win to roam the house- except the master's room, of course- Win kept that in mind although curious why, he didn't bother asking more from his employer. "What do you do to keep a child entertain?" He asked himself, ironically he has a child of his own.

Win walked gently greeting the house staff he saw on his way. He carefully walked not to drop any cookies on the plate. Making his way to Kai's room, stopping on his tracks, Win slowly realized he doesn't know which room it is. Greeted by rows of doors on the second floor, to make it worse they all look the same. He gulped, slowly approaching each door.
