The next few days, Chan was extra careful with Haein. She turned into his top priority. He would always come home early no matter how much work he had. He continued his work from home if it was urgent. He would also be emotionally available for Haein as much as he could as if he weren't emotionally available before.

He started taking her to school himself. Haein told him many times that he didn't need to do all that but he was adamant on his decision. He also suggested she skipped school some days. Those days she would visit the company with him. Chan made sure that she wasn't alone most of the time.

Regularly visiting the company, Haein got close with many JYP idols. She didn't really have a chance to get to know JYP the man himself as he was a very busy person. But from the amount of clowning done by his idols, she knew he was a very chill and hilarious person. She also enjoyed clowning him.

Stray kids also helped Chan in taking care of her. Changbin and Haein got along well because of their same taste in girl groups, NewJeans to be specific. Felix as a fellow Once also got along well with her. The two maknaes, Jeongin and Seungmin were absolute sweethearts. Jisung and Hyunjin were goofy and fun. Minho didn't show much affection or care towards her directly but she knew he cared for her too as he often bought her meals.

The company investigated on the stalker issue. They figured out that it wasn't really a stalker, but just a local creep who was apparently being searched by the police. Knowing that it wasn't a stalker was a huge relief to Chan. He could finally relax a bit.

Chan was busy working in his studio when the youngest member of 3racha came to see him. "Hey, Chan!" Jisung sat on an empty chair beside him. He sipped his warm caramel latte.

"What brings you here?" Chan asked without averting his eyes from the screen of his computer.

"Just wanted to check on you," Jisung took another sip. The two of them then remained silent as they had nothing to say. Chan kept working while Jisung sat there watching. Until Jisung decided to break the silence, "Hey, Chan. I was wondering, whether you had given Haein "The Talk" yet," Jisung used his fingers to make quotation marks to emphasize on the two words.

"What talk?" Chan furrowed his eye brows and looked at Jisung.

"You know, "The Talk", the grown up talk. Sex education?" Chan's eyes widen and his ears got red. He focused back on computer screen. "Don't tell me you didn't," Jisung brought his face closer to his. Chan still didn't answer. But Jisung wouldn't leave him that easily. He took his face even closer to Chan.

"Okay, fine. I didn't. So what?" Chan finally answered being annoyed.

"Bro, she's 16. She needs to know. It's now or never. It's a basic knowledge. Who will do it if not you?"

"I'm pretty sure she learnt it at school or home," Chan wasn't ready to face the awkwardness that came with "The Talk".

"Well, from what I know, her parents definitely wouldn't teach her about that stuff. Anyone can tell. And schools, they don't teach that stuff properly in Korea, Mr. Aussie. Back in my days at least. I don't how things are nowadays. But it wouldn't hurt if she got the knowledge from you. If she already knows then it's good and if she doesn't you can teach her," Jisung said to convince Chan.

"Why are you suddenly thinking about sex education all of a sudden?"

"I just saw a video on YouTube about sex education," Jisung spoke showing his big doe eyes.

"Why were you watching a video on sex education at this age?" Chan made a disgusting and judging face.

"It just popped up on my home page," Jisung defended himself.
