'Been only a day and the kid has already adjusted well I see..'

That voice.

I knew that voice a little too well given how long I've seen that person. Why now? At least let this day pass without giving my heart any regrets that I'll be getting when the kid finds out. Damn it..

Turning around of course... I couldn't have been wrong. Mr Kim.

I faked a smile 'Good morning,' I bowed, hesitantly.

He nodded back never saying a word as he signaled me with a finger to follow and walked off. Inhaling a good amount of oxygen I went after him.

We were outside, under the trees well in a different area but it all looked the same. Kim took a seat on a bench that was oddly placed between the bushes far behind the path way hidden well enough to not be seen. Lighting his cigar he exhaled the smoke as he adjusted his arm on the back of the bench. I waited for him to say something about his visit. It was never in our plan for him to show up on the very first day. I felt weird. Well basically all of it yet. I never took a seat. Didn't wanted to get close to that thing.

He was sure as hell taking his time to open that mouth of his. I cleared my throat as I payed attention to my surroundings rubbing my upper arm. The slow cool breeze felt nice. It must've been nice to come out with that kid. I smiled under my breath.

'Did you meet with his father until now?' he began.

'Was I suppose to?' never got a reply. Moving forward, he placed his arm on his hips. Throwing the rest of the cigar away. 'Why did you come today?'

'Came to see him,'

'What did he say?' I asked, burring my hands in pants pocket. I finally looked at him. Our attention was shifted to the house when a loud noise came. Haechan? No.. he was asleep. I calmed down when it dawned on me. But what was that? Before I could turn back around and ask him he passed by me. Going back inside. I never got a chance to here him out or more like for some reason he was trying to get himself out of the question I asked him. We were moving towards the side of the house where his room was. Is he actually  going there? I don't get it.. why though? When he took the next turn with me coming fast soon after I almost bumped into his back, I peeked in front of him and he was actually there.

Haechan.

For some reason my heart sped up. His father arrived seconds later with his servants tagging behind him. When I turned my attention to the boy he was already looking at me. The smile that was making its way on my face soon disappeared when I saw tears in his eyes. 'What's wrong?'

On cue, tears started falling down his puffy cheeks. I panicked. He buried his head in my chest and sobbed harder clenching the edge of my shirt as if his life depended on him.

'Stop being dramatic and do as the man says.. nobody asks more of you, child' the man in luxury clothes spoke as another one stood at the far back of the hallway behind him and watched with a smirk on his face. That was the first time I saw him. I was brought out of my thoughts when the kid nearly screamed when Kim tried to touch him. Slapping his hand away. He ran.. outside.

'Haechan!-'

Katsu signed loud as he closed his eyes. '- bring him to me..' turning around to go back as he further continued '.. do it by force if you have to' he told his servants one of which was Jaemin. Both bowed to their master as he walked away finally. I need to get to him before they do. What was even going on? Why was he crying? I eyed Kim one last time, who in returned waved his hands beside him as saying he didn't do anything and ran out myself as a loud thunder welcomed me.

That brat..
