Jaehyun unlocked and opened the door of his apartment, walking in with Doyoung close behind him "Make yourself at home. I live alone and it gets lonely, so it's nice having someone here."

Doyoung looked at his surroundings. It was tidier than expected, and nicely decorated. It looked warm and welcoming, just like the man living here.

"Wait here for a minute, okay? I need to clean up the catastrophe that is called my room." he scratched the back of his head and disappeared into one of the rooms after Doyoung nodded.

Not having much to do, Doyoung looked around the living room a bit more. Nothing in particular stood out to him, until his eyes landed on a small framed picture that stood in front of him on the coffee table.

He carefully took it into his hands, examining it. There was a family of 4 people, a mom, a dad, and two sons, one of which looked like Jaehyun. It must've been taken some time ago, for Jaehyun looked much younger, like a little kid. The boy next to him must've been his older brother, for he looked a few years older. They were all smiling and happy, and it almost made Doyoung jealous.

"That was almost 10 years ago." a voice next to him suddenly said, almost making him drop the picture.

"O-Oh. You l-look like a happy f-family." Doyoung quietly responded, not knowing what else to say.

Jaehyun chuckled and plopped himself down on the couch next to him "Yeah, that one is my brother, Taeil. He's now the CEO of a company, took over my family's business." he explained as he pointed to the guy next to him on the picture.

"A-Are those your pa-parents?"

"Yup. They now enjoy their relaxing life at the beach. I'm kind of jealous, I love the beach." he pouted.

Doyoung turned to face him "Why d-don't you live with th-them?"

Jaehyun giggled and booped his cute bunny nose "You sure ask a lot of questions."

"S-Sorry."

"Nah it's fine," he grinned "there aren't that many good schools over there and they wanted me to be well educated, so they told me to find a school here. They know I can take care of myself."

Doyoung ran his fingers along the frame. "S-Sounds like a n-nice family. Everyday I have t-to worry about be-being hit." he muttered sadly, not intending the other to hear it.

But he did.

He engulfed the bunny in a warm hug. "You don't deserve that. I'll protect you. I promise." he said quietly, tightening his hug. Doyoung felt something he doesn't feel often. He felt safe.

After a minute or two, Jaehyun finally spoke again "So... I don't really feel like doing school stuff anymore. Do you want to play some games?"

The other looked at him in confusion "L-Like what?"

"Video games!" Jaehyun grinned and jumped up from the couch to turn the console on.

Doyoung fidgeted with his fingers and gave him a helpless and panicked look "I've nev-never played video g-games before."

Jaehyun laughed "Relax. I'll just show you how to play." He tossed Doyoung a controller, who quickly caught it.

He fumbled with the controller "H-How do I..." his voice trailed off when Jaehyun let out another chuckle.

"You put this around your wrist so you don't accidentally throw it at someone" Jaehyun gently held Doyoung's hand in place to put the band around his wrist "Aaaand you hold it like this. There you go."
