Haechan is being unproductive today and he himself could notice it. He doesn't mean to act this way but considering what occurred last night, he can't even blame himself for being this upset. Mark, his master, the meaning of his life wants him dead now and even though Jaehyun has assured him that he will do anything in his power to protect him, he still feels empty inside as if a part of him has been ripped out from the body and it's just hollow where it supposed to be beating.

He does not want to live if he couldn't be close to his master, what will his life means then?

"Haechan, are you there?", Donghyun's sweet voice cut his negative thoughts short and the older snapped out of his slump, looking up to see the Jung siblings looking down at him, concern filled there eyes.

"You seem so down today? Did something bully you?", the baby girl say softly, softly circling her hands around his neck and Haechan cuddles her close and tries to put on a happy smile.

"Nah Haechan is fine, just a bit sleepy, that's all!", he answered, knowing that this would satisfy the kids' curiousity. When they question, give them an answer, it doesn't need to be factually correct but it would surely, shut them up.

"Oh!", Donghyun nods, stomping his feet, "Papa said we have guests today and they're fun!"

Guests? Haechan arched an eyebrow, they never have guests in the Lees mansion. His master is strict, every business related problem will be solved at their workplace, even parties will be hosted in another building to make sure that when they're home, they're could be comfortable and not worried about the sudden attacks. Ever since the older Lee came, he has been breaking ground rules left and right just to piss his brother off and no one could do anything about it, after all, he is still highly respected in the pack because of his title and the contributions he made before popping out Donghyun and Jaeyeon.

"Have you two ever met them before?", Haechan asked, running his long fingers through Jaeyeon's silky hair and the girl smiles, showing the bunny front teeth that are identical to her papa's.

"Yes, they're good fun. Uncle giant is so goofy and his partner makes us good food!", she muses and Donghyun sits down next to her, "Jae! Don't you remember their names, it's disrespectful to not knowing people we have met serveral times before!"

"Aww it's okay Hyunnie, Jae is still a baby", Haechan pats the kids' shoulders, "How about you tell me their names instead?"

The boy nods and say, "Uncle goofy's name is Johnny. He is as big as a bear and uncle good food is Taeil, he is even shorter than you though"

Johnny and Taeil? As in Count Suh and Count Moon? Their family don't have good relationship with Mark, why the hell would they even accept Doyoung's invite? He has no doubt that if they come, his master will be extremely unhappy and with what happened last night, whatever will occur will be ten times worse and-

"Donghyun! Jaeyeon! Come inside, it's getting to sunny kids", the familiar voice comes up behind him and when he turned around...Doyoung.

The kids immediately listened to their fathers and quickly run into the house, not forgetting to also usher them in but a small, "I have to talk to Haechan" shut it all off.

"So... I have been informed by my husband about last night", the man said and the younger sighed, his shoulders slumped and a frown is now present on his face.

"Please, I don't need further humiliation, I'm already miserable enough, finding a way to kill myself"

"Oh, I could never get bored of your boldness", Doyoung hums and rubbed his back, "But it's mean of you to think that I'm here for that"

Haechan looks away, "You know that inviting the Suh family over would make my master even more uncomfortable but you still did and since I'm his punching bag, everything will be on me to suffer though"

The older blinks in surprise, "No, that's not my intention, you know I don't joke around if it's a life or death matter. Sure, I could be a little mean here and there but at the end of the day, you're still a juvenile and I'm an adult, I would never go as far as Mark"

"Then why are you here?"

Doyoung lets out a small laugh and gently hold his chin, "Do you still remember my offer, dear?"

//

The moment two of them get back into the house, they're welcomed with a fuming Mark.

"Jung Doyoung, what do you think you're doing?"

The older shrugged, "Baby boy, you will need to be more specific because I'm a busy man, I'm always doing something"

His master grunts, "The Suhs, why did you invite-no! Why do you invite anyone into our personal home? Do you know how dangerous that is? Our father has warned us so many times before, why are you being so difficult to nurture?"

Doyoung rolls his eyes, he leaned down and flick Mark's forehead before saying. "Because I have the right to do whatever I want Mark and unlike you, who never stops idolizing that dump that you call a father, I welcome change and open for better and stopped being a little wuss like you"

Haechan is taken back. No one would ever have the nerve to talk to Mark with this manner, Doyoung is a fearless man. His master seemed to be so troubled that he turned to him with bullets eyes.

"And you, 0606, why are you still here?"

The disappearance of "Haechan" made his heart shake, he knows Mark has once again, invalidate his existence as a human being but before he could open his mouth and utter out an corherrihent response, the older Lee grabbed his hand and pull him away, saying.

"He will be leaving soon Mark, take you time and admire him as much as you could!"
