The last bit of his composure slips away as Seungcheol walks out and Sunjae, dejectedly, goes back to his room.

"ENOUGH!", Whatever they are doing, Jeonghan has, till now, supported Seventeen, with his contribution and, at times, even with his silence. But now they are crossing a line which they shouldn't cross, not now, not ever, "That little child isn't our target and not a pawn either. He has nothing to do with what happened with us. Even if he is the reason why Seungcheol left", He looks firmly towards Mingyu to get his point across, "It was Seungcheol's choice."

That's true. That kid must be what at that time? Six years old. A six year or even a nine year old, for that matter, isn't to be blamed.

"If any of you mistreat Sunjae or use him to hurt Seungcheol again, I swear you will see the worst of me."

Jeonghan refuses to let Sunjae be a collateral damage.

*****

Seungcheol is shaken, to say the least. He didn't expect that Seventeen would treat any kid, his kid, this bad. He understands that they are extremely hurt but dragging Sunjae again and again in their matters is such a reprehensible thing to do; so much so that even Seungcheol can't keep on rationalizing their behaviour.

"Appa", Both father and son are sitting on a cot outside, having one of their stargazing nights. Even though it rained all day, the sky is still quite clear, "Can I call Jeonghannie samchon over? Will it make him uncomfortable?"

The second question stung. He didn't mean for his words to leave this kind of impact on his child but what can he do, he just wants to protect him.

"He looks lonely", At those words, Seungcheol follows Sunjae's line of vision. Jeonghan is standing at a distance and he does look lonely. Not only that, he also looks tired and weak. The sight tugs at Seungcheol's heartstrings.

"Yeah, you can call-"

Sunjae doesn't even wait for Seungcheol to complete his sentence, "Jeonghannieee samchon! Samchon here, look here".

As soon as Jeonghan turns and his eyes land on Sunjae, his face immediately lits up. Sunjae calls him over. The dark and dead eyes from a moment ago are slowly getting filled with light and life. A smile has appeared on Jeonghan's lips and it grows with every step he takes towards them, his eyes solely fixed on Sunjae.

Sunjae pats beside him for Jeonghan to take a seat, "Watch the stars with us. Do you do that?"

"No, you can't see stars much in the city."

"Here you can, let's lie down", The trio lies down on their back.

"Oh that's a big dipper", After few minutes, Jeonghan points at the sky.

"What? Where? What is that?", Sunjae eagerly asks.

Jeonghan holds his arm and when he creates a replica in the air, Seungcheol also sees it, "It's a constellation", Sunjae doesn't understand the term but it doesn't dim his enthusiasm. Neither does Jeonghan let it happen, "Um, constellation is a drawing that a group of stars themselves form in the sky".

"Oh?", Sunjae's eyes have gotten bigger and his mouth has formed a perfect 'O'. He likes it, Seungcheol smiles.

It goes on for a while, Jeonghan telling and Sunjae listening fascinatedly but at some point, Seungcheol senses something wrong. He doesn't have much knowledge about constellations but he does have enough knowledge about Jeonghan to recognize the particular zeal for having people in his trap.
