After the conversation with Ryujin, Lee Know's mind was nothing but occupied with what had happened. He didn't know very much about Han's home life while his dad was still there, but what he did know upset him.

He'd spent the night with Han but he didn't sleep very much. He wanted to do something about Han's Dad. He lived in the same city as they did, and it was only a matter of time before he manipulated their Mom once more and got Han and his siblings right back to where they'd started a year or two ago. 

I can't let that happen. I won't let that happen. Minho told himself. He hoped he could do something about it. A sleeping Han lie next to him under the fluffy white sheets. He watched as his boyfriends chest rose and fell as he wondered what he could do to help them.

He thought about the past week or so he'd spent with Han, and realized how much his mom had been out of the picture. In fact, he hadn't seen her at all. This sparked something in him. Suddenly, he got his phone out to text Ryujin, whom he'd gotten closer with since the shopping incident.

-

You: Ryujin, when was the last time you saw Han's mom?

Ryujin: I can't recall, not in the last week at least. Why?

Minho sighed heavily.

You: I'm scared shes been manipulated right back into where she started with her ex husband.

Minho watches as Ryujin types on and off for a few minutes.

-

Ryujin: Holy shit you might be right. That guys a master manipulator and their mom is still in a fragile state of mind from all that. Plus, that store is her go to for shopping.

Ryujin: You should be a detective

You: Overthinker is the word you're looking for.

You: You think that's right though? Would she disappear for that long if that was the case? 

-

He was typing hastily now, the gears in his head turning more and more as his conversation with Ryujin went on.

-

Ryujin: Without a doubt. He got her into drugs and alcohol and she was a train wreck. If he's back to his old shit, she'd definitely disappear like that.

You: Well, that's helpful to know. 

You: You should sleep now, its late.

Ryujin: Alright, we'll talk tomorrow then.

Ryujin: Goodnight detective

You: Thats overthinker to you lmao. Goodnight Ryujin.

-

The next morning, Han woke up before his boyfriend, which was expected since he was up until three in the morning, his head running at 100 mph (that's 160 kmh for my weird people) as he thought about all the things that could possibly happen with Han's parents. 

Unlocking his phone, Han saw a text from his mom.

-

Mom: Sorry for not being home sweetie. I met someone-we've been hanging out recently. How are your siblings doing? Thank you for taking care of them. I don't know when I'll be home, but I'm ok.

-

He puzzled over this message for quite some time. His mom would not leave like that for this long, and definitely not for some guy she just met without telling him.

-

You: We're fine..Who did you meet? And why didn't you tell me, I thought you promised to tell me these things?

Mom: I'm glad you guys are doing well. I'll be home in no time Han.

-

She responded so cryptically he wondered if it was even her texting him. She didn't answer his question either. Minho groaned and rolled over.

"Han?" Han shifted his attention to his boyfriend, the worry leaving his face.

"Good morning Lee Know. You sleep good?" He asked. He didn't want to tell Minho about the message from his Mom-not yet at least. 

"You could say that, How about you? You passed the fuck out last night." He said with a laugh, which Han reciprocated. 

"Yeah, I'm just so exhausted so much has happened lately and we've been the only ones here to take care of the kids." He told his boyfriend.

"I know, and you've done so well taking care of them all this time beautiful. Let's go eat, okay? I'll cook for the kids, you take care of yourself." Han smiled. Lee Know always knew what to tell him it seemed.

-

In the kitchen, all the kids were already awake, the young boys playing together, and the girls in each other's arms on the couch. Lee Know and Han walked out, greeting them.

"Who's hungry?" Minho exclaimed, and screams of excitement came from the young boys, with quiet agreements from the other two.

"Can we have pancakes?" Haneul begged. Minho nodded.

"We can have whatever you want." He smiled at him. Han lay in the living room as his boyfriend cooked. Ryujin joined the older in the kitchen.

"Anything else click up there, Overthinker?" She asked him. He scoffed.

"I went to sleep after I texted you goodnight, so no, not much else has brewed up here." He tapped his head. "How about you?" He asked Ryujin, who shook her head.

"Nope. Your theory seems very right to me, nothing else would explain why shes disappeared for so long."

Minho nodded, their conversation ending quietly.

"Lee Know? I have something to tell you." Han said quietly, which worried Lee Know, because that sentence could mean so many things, especially coming from a boyfriend. He plated the food, and turned around.

"You can tell me anything." He told his boyfriend.

"So, my mom texted me.."
