The Slacker sleepless nights

Why can't I stop crying

"Huh"

Cale looked at the tears dripping down his face in surprise as he brought his hands to touch it as if contemplating if it was real.

"Why am I crying? I'm not sad."

He tried to stop his tears from falling while covering his face as well with a smile full of disbelief.

"Why can't it stop?"

He was still in his own world when a pair of hands suddenly stopped him from hiding his hands. However the hands which came from one of his father figures, Eruhaben, back away just as quickly for Cale had just obviously flinched from his touch.

'Oh right.'

Cale forgot they were still in the room as he now tries even harder to stop crying . He doesn't like crying in front of children especially children. Not only that but when he saw their faces full of concern he couldn't help but feel his stomach churn as he's not used to have ever gotten such stares from people other than Choi Jung Soo and Lee Soo Hyuk.

Not only that but he's yet again reminded himself that those stares are not for him. Their for the real Cale who no longer exist in this world. Would they have still looked at him the same way if he told them the truth.

He knows that he has to tell them at some point but still can't help the feeling of despair he's most likely going to feel when telling the truth.

He was yet again in his own world as he tries to hide his sight from those stares when he was suddenly hugged by a pair of strong hands. He obviously flinched again but realizing who it was he couldn't help but hugged him back before he could let go of the hug.

Choi han who was about to let go of the hug was surprised to feel the red head suddenly hugged him in desperation to which he returned with greater force. He didn't like seeing how hard his liege wanted to hide his tears when he obviously wanted to cry. So without thinking he suddenly hugged him.

Cale on the other hand didn't know why he hugged him but knew that right now he needed something to cry into as his tears were not able to stop streaming down his face. So he hid his face in Choi han shoulder and cried quietly with no restraint as he let all his tears out.

The others in the room watching couldn't bear seeing their young master break down with no way to help. He was always there for them whenever they needed him most but now that he needed them they couldn't do anything. They felt disappointed in themselves and their disappointment increase seeing how Choi han was able to get him to let his guard down. Do they deserve to stay with him after all he done with no way of repaying him?

Cale spent a good hour crying before passing out from tiredness. During the whole time Choi han didn't let him go once, hugging as if his life depended on it. Everyone in the room who was watching felt as if they were being mentally tortured.

However once Cale had passed out they all reached to one conclusion.

They will find and destroy the very thing that made their master cried.

After all they are a very protective family.
