Mingyu sat in his car, a relaxed sigh leaving his parted lips. The work was finally done and he loathed himself for it.

The path ahead was not visible in the dark night. Just like the path of his morals and dignity. He felt like a coward; scared of everything right now.

All that mattered to him was his family only consisting of his lovely boyfriend and an adopted daughter. Though she was adopted, he loved Haneul the most. He knew what it is to grow in an orphanage and be bullied and tortured.

"pa~pa....papa"

Haneul's incoherent blabbers from the evening ringed into his ears and he smiled. Soon she will be able to sit and then walk on her own. He wants to be there with Jeonghan to witness that. He wants Jeonghan to be there with him. He needs their love and in return, he wants to give them all the love his heart contains for them.

Mingyu gulped, the heaviness he had in his heart because of what he was doing. His shoulders slumped, palms coming up to rub against his face in pure irritation.

The loud shrill of his phone broke his rail of thoughts and he looked at the caller.

An unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Took you long enough to answer my calls", the deep voice boomed into the device.

"Sorry", Mingyu apologized. "I did what you told."

"I know." There was silence for a few seconds before a clicking noise was heard. "My men saw you having a heated conversation with Kim Taehyung?"

"Yes", Mingyu said, his voice small.

"I am telling you don't come into his radar again and again. If he finds out about you, i swear to god consider that daughter and boyfriend of yours, dead meat for real."

"Please...please don't do anything to them...i will keep it in mind", Mingyu pleaded. The fear bubbling in his chest.

"You better not mess this up", the man spoke before disconnecting the call.

Here Mingyu thought what he was doing was already plenty to hide but now he has to stay out of his boss' eyes who is really pissed at him. He knew he teased the man, but that was for the goal he had to achieve by hook or by crook.

Don't know what else he has to do in the future and for how long to save his family from the unseen monster.

He restrained a choked out sob and palmed his face. For once god, let him be happy with his family. All he has endured since birth is torture and bully.

He suddenly remembered the notifications of his boyfriend he saw an hour ago and opened his phone again. He clicked on the chat box and played the video Jeonghan has sent.

Haneul played with the small stuff toy while blabbering incoherent words. She looked fine in the video, which means her infection has almost gone. A smile pulled its way on his lips despite the tears that blurred his vision.

A new message in the chat arrived and he rubbed his eyes to read it.

Hannie🌹
On your way?

Mingyu
Yes!
Just leaving.
Why didn't you sleep? I told you to.

Hannie🌹
Couldn't sleep without you >_<
Haneul is sleeping though.

Mingyu

With you?

Hannie🌹
Yes.
But i can take her to her room if you...
You know?

Mingyu
Aren't you being naughty!
Lemme drive now....on my way
And let her sleep with us tonight. She's too young to understand what her daddies are doing ;D

What's keeping him sane at this point is his Hannie's love.
