Jaehyun knows things have gotten back in its place when 0606 immediately whines to him that he is hungry when he came in the next morning. He didn't stay back the previous night after Mark got in but he surely knew it when he left because he caught a glimpse of his master going downstairs when he came back to the main mansion this morning.

He meant to say something but the younger gave him a look and the guy hides his smile.

"Do you want to have breakfast downstairs today know?", Jaehyun asked and the beaming smile of from the boy answered it for him.

When they exited the room and Jaehyun guides the younger down the stairs, making sure that 0606 wouldn't get hurt by accident, they are met by a rather furious Mark Lee.

"Why is Doyoung and the kids here!?", he snarled slowly and unhappily, "Didn't I tell you that I will visit your place instead. This is not somewhere children could be around!"

The younger has met Doyoung, his master's sibbling before. He was twelve at the time and still too awkward to communicate with people in the mansion and even though the older has a very distant facade then, the young brunette still have a specific memory that still roves his mind until now.

"Do you want to go haunting tonight, brother?", his master asked, putting on his coat, "The kids are not here"

The older shook his head lightly, "I don't touch such weapons after Yun is born, it's not appropiate anymore"

Mark hums and opened the door to leave but then he stopped when rememebered something and turned his heels, going back to him. 0606 rose to his feet immediately, running to him. The man whispered into his ears. "I want you to go straight to bed now 0606, do not undisciplined me. I forbid you talking to Doyoung, get it?"

The young boy looks over to the beautiful sight of Jaehyun, someone who he is slowly getting along with that apprently is also his master's brother-in-law pressing a small kiss on the guy's forehead with a smile on his face. He wants to ask why but turned away when he realised Doyoung is also looking back at him from where he was sitting. No why-s, no but-s, he nodded and "Yes, master".

0606 watched when the door clicked and the vehicle's engine roar throuh the woods and melts into the cold night, before heading up stairs like what his master ordered. Doyoung does not seem like a bad person but if his master said no association is allowed, he won't, it's not like he wants to anyhow.

Slumping under warm blankets, the young boy quietly observes the outside of his glass window. Everything is still new to him. Life condition, title, work, all have been flipped upside down in a good way ever since. It is true that he have been slowly learning how to use weapons for the last few weeks but this is what he accepted to be gotten out of  inferno.

Snow is thickering outside and the warmness of fireplace in his bedroom is slowly sending him to dreamland. Lids are heavy and 0606 is ready to drift to sleep any moments now but the sound of footsteps got him wide awake. No one is home and he knows or a fact that no maids are allowed to be up here so the quick conclusion is the man himself, Doyoung.

He gulped and pull the blankets over his head to hide himself, mentally cursing himself for not being a good boy enough to lock the door. It's too late now, if  he gets down to do it now, the clicking noise will echo through the hallway and he will be doomed by then.

His gut feelings is screaming at him and just a spilt second later, the twelve year old boy rolls off his bed and go sit in his closet, door shutting after him with no sounds, luckily. His heart is pounding against his chest, his master created this scary realm around this man that is now driving him to the gate of fear-land.

At least he was right because Doyoung did get in his room but just a quick moment later, the sound of his shoes hitting on the floor disappear and 0606 let out a sigh of relief. He then pushed the door open to get out but...

"Nice try but you didn't make your bed kiddo", Doyoung said, his back  leaning on the door, "But that's alright, I would rather have a word with an mentally ill child without having my words go through with no thought"

Then....

A shake from the older besides him snapped the young boy out of his weird memory with Jaehyun's husband.

"Let's get downstairs huh, you must be starving right now", Jaehyun smiled at him but before he could answer, he is pulled away from the man's arms around his waist and standing next to his beloved master now.

"Go down first, me and Haechan need to have a word and I'll bring him down later", the man edicted and the boy's heart swelled at how smooth his name came out of Mark's mouth.

It's so natural, so beautiful and the validation he has been searching for.

"Haechan?", Jaehyun tiltled his head and give him a sly look, teasing really and the youngest proudly answer, "Haechan"
