Chapter Text

A mafia boss.

The depictions and stereotypes that we all think of when we hear these words can really make them seem malicious and cruel and blood thirsty killers.

And, yes, they are these things, but they aren't always monsters.

Everyone has someone, whether it be family, friends, lovers, colleagues - it would only make sense that the world's cruellest mafia bosses have someone as well.

Even Lee Heeseung.

A murderer from the age of 9, after killing his older brother in spite because of the lack of attention he received from his parents.

His parents? He also killed them. Knocked his disabled mother down two flights of stairs and stabbed his father through the chest 12 times with a screwdriver. He was a blood lusting and sex-lusting demon, as people called him, never to be seen out in broad daylight.

He was said to never have a smile on his face, and no-one ever saw his face without seeing the face of death first. Apparently, he had a huge scar along the front of his chest from the beatings and burns he received from his parents.

He didn't care about anyone or anything. The only thing he wanted was power. It was said that he craved seeing people beg for their lives as he took them into the light and stole what was theirs.

He even had the entire justice wrapped around the tip of his glock, no-one daring to speak against him in fear of him going to carve all the faces off of their family members.

He was an unstoppable killing machine, and nothing would ever stop this rebellious man from committing heinous and insane crimes.

Well, atleast that's what the rumours said.

"APPA!" A very loud voice was heard wailing, followed by little footsteps padding along the wooden floorboards in the luxury home.

"Baby, what's wrong?" The man spoke as he stood up from his desk and made his way to his son, picking up the small child in his arms and wiping the boys tears off his face with his thumbs.

"APPA I FELL OVER AND- AND- BLOOD!" The boy cried on the top of his lungs and pointed to his knee which had a small cut on it, making the man holding him wince slightly.

"Lee Haneul, it's alright. Don't cry, bub, Appa will make the blood go away, okay?" Heeseung sighed while rubbing soothing circles on the boy's back, trying to calm him down.

Meet mafia boss, Lee Heeseung, and his adorable little son, Lee Haneul.

Heeseung ran his hands through Haneul's soft black locks, brushing a few strands out of his son's teary face. This was the fourth time this week that Haneul had fallen over and gotten himself hurt, interrupting Heeseung from his wrapping up his work.

His 'henchmen' and close friends for the past few years of his life, Jungwon and Jay were supposed to be taking care of his son, but the little boy would always find a way to run to his dad while crying.

"JUNGWON-AH, BRING SOME ANTISEPTIC! HANEUL IS HURT!" Heeseung shouted, grunting frustratedly when he got no reply.

"JUNGWON? ANTISEPCTIC?" Heeseung called again, but received no reply making him frown.

It may have been a large penthouse, but he knew Jungwon would be able to hear him. Haneul had been on the same floor as him anyways, so Heeseung wondered why his friend wasn't answering.

"YANG JUNGWON!"

The said brunette male gasped and pushed his boyfriend away from him roughly and buttoned up his shirt as he fixed his collar quickly.

His boyfriend, Park Jay, chuckled at the panicked male as he leaned back and relaxed against the headboard of the bed.

Jungwon glared at him, punching the blonde male's shoulder angrily. "Fucking idiot, I told you we were supposed to keep an eye on Haneul." He growled.

"Baby, it's okay. Haneul probably just fell over again." Jay rolled his eyes but put his hands up in surrender when Jungwon raised his arm, threatening to punch him again.

"Pack our stuff and get it to the car. I'll deal with you later." Jungwon huffed and hopped off the bed, heading to Heeseung's office with a first aid case.

"I'll be waiting!" Jay winked to his short boyfriend, receiving a middle finger which made him burst out laughing.

"Jungwon, what took you so long?" Heeseung spat at the appearance of the brunette, as he rocked his son in his arms gently.

"Sorry, hyung. Jay needed my help with something." Jungwon curtly replied and grabbed a cotton ball, a band aid and a bottle of antiseptic.

Heeseung eyed his friend warily and scoffed when he noticed the bright red bite mark that stood out on the side of Jungwon's neck, and a few other marks hidden terribly under his crumpled shirt.

"Yeah, looks like he really needed you." Heeseung sarcastically said making Jungwon scowl but he ignored the other and knelt down in front of the crying boy.

"Haneul-ah. Can you tell me what your favourite colour is, baby?" Jungwon asked in a soft voice, giving the small child his signature killer smile. Haneul wasn't scared of the smile though, only sniffling softly and tilting his head in thought.

"I like the colour green!" He muttered shyly.

"Just like your father's ugly hair!" Jungwon replied and laughed when Heeseung glared at him. He gave Heeseung a pointed look, to which the other rolled his eyes and tried to distract his son.

"Appa's hair isn't ugly. It's pret- AHH!" Haneul screamed when he felt a painful sting from his knee. He looked down and angrily glared at Jungwon with more tears in his eyes.

"Appa!" He cried and turned to hide his face in Heeseung's shirt.

"Jungwon." Heeseung warned. He pat his son's head fondly, giving Jungwon a similar glare to the one his son had given him, making the short brown-haired male sigh.

Like father, like son.

"I'm sorry, Han-ah. I needed to clean your wound or else all the blood monsters will come and eat you up." Jungwon said, making Haneul gasp and turn around quickly.

"I DON'T WANNA GET EATEN!" He wailed and a third round of tears appeared.

"That's why you should let me clean your wound and bandage it, okay?" Jungwon panicked and smiled apologetically but Haneul shook his head.

"NO, THEY'LL STILL EAT ME!" Haneul suddenly pushed himself out of his father's arms and ran out of the room, leaving Jungwon and Heeseung dumbfounded.

"Great job, Yang. Now my son thinks he'll get eaten." Heeseung growled angrily as he stood up and returned to his desk.

"Fuck you. I was trying to make him feel better, alright?" Jungwon rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Anyways, have you and your fuck buddy packed up? We're leaving in 5 minutes." Heeseung asked, grabbing one of the handguns from under his desk and strapping it into his coat.

"One, Jay isn't my 'fuck buddy', he's my boyfriend. You'd understand the concept of romance if you stopped being such an asshole all the time. And two, a gun, really?" Jungwon raised his eyebrow.

"Aye, I don't need a boy, 4 years younger than me, preaching about love to me, alright? I don't believe in love, although I will admit this gross thing you and Jay-ah have going on is sorta wholesome, so I'll excuse it. But I don't need a lover. Never did, and never will." Heeseung said. "And the gun is a precaution."

"4 years younger, yet so much smarter." Jungwon mumbled under his breath. "Look, Heeseung-"

"It's hyung to you." Heeseung raised an eyebrow as Jungwon rolled his eyes.

"Heeseung hyung, I know you're still really upset after what happened to Haneul's mom, but-"

"That dýke, Shin Ryujin, isn't my son's mother. She's just another pussylicker, that's all." Heeseung growled angrily.

"You say that as if you aren't a f@g yourself." Jungwon scoffed.

"I would've honestly killed her and her little girlfriend if Haneul didn't have such an emotional connection to her." Heeseung muttered.

"Ryujin noona and Yeji noona are really sweet, hyung. Maybe if you stopped bitching about them all the time, you'd become good friends with them." Jungwon reasoned.

"Fuck off, that wench isn't getting anywhere close to me. Anything with her was a drunk mistake." Heeseung replied.

"So, are you saying Haneul is a drun-"

"Another word and I'll fucking stab you, Yang." Heeseung threatened.

"Jeez, overprotective much." Jungwon huffed.

"I'm going to go heal your son and then I'll get him in the car. Finish your little pity party and bring your possessive ass down soon or we'll leave without you, hyung." The brunette said before leaving the room, leaving Heeseung to think.

Maybe this is why Heeseung was gay.

That one fateful night where he and other sponsors had gotten shit faced drunk somehow led to him and Ryujin making out and messing with each other, the both of them seeing a different gender to the ones they really were.

They woke up and almost puked at the sight of each other and agreed to never meet again until Ryujin stormed into his mansion and threatened to rip his balls off if he didn't take responsibility of the child that he had somehow put into her.

Heeseung honestly would've just killed her then and there but something within him wanted the child, since it was a part of him, and he couldn't get rid of it so easily.

Fast forward nine months and a beautiful baby boy was born, who of course Heeseung tried to ignore and neglect just as he had been neglected. This attitude of the his, however, lasted only around three hours until he held his son in his arms and almost cried for the first time in years.

Ryujin on the other hand had been surprised to see Heeseung not shoot the child or her after he was born, but she was glad that Heeseung allowed her to see Haneul one every 6 months (it took around 11 hours of convincing from Jungwon), even if it was only for a few hours.

Ryujin and Heeseung were both gay in opposite directions, so the romance aspect wasn't a problem.

Ever since Haneul was born, Heeseung had been absolutely whipped for his son and vowed to give anything and everything to the younger. He promised he'd make sure Haneul grew up loved and nurtured like a normal child, and he'd make it seem as if he wasn't one of the biggest mafia bosses of all time.

But this was a problem since he had to constantly relocate and keep a low profile, as well as hide Haneul's identity from anyone and everyone. Jay had been his best man in making sure no-one knew of Haneul's existence other than the lesbian couple, him and his boyfriend Jungwon and Heeseung himself.

The nurses and doctor that helped deliver Haneul? Shot dead and drowned in the river close to the hospital.

But because of constantly moving and relocating, Haneul had been to see multiple caregivers when Jungwon and Jay were unavailable. Because of constantly moving and never being able to settle in one place, Haneul ended up developing social anxiety at a very young age.

He'd have panic attacks if he felt too overwhelmed by people and this made Heeseung even more cautious about his son and the only way to stop Haneul's condition from deteriorating was by increasing his social interaction in a setting with people his age.

So, this led Heeseung to make the huge decision of sending Haneul to kindergarten.

Once again, it took a lot of convincing from Jungwon and Jay especially since they'd have to register Haneul's existence, and after a couple drinks and a good fuck, Heeseung finally agreed.

And here they were, moving to their newest and safest location where they would finally settle without having to worry about rivals going after them.

Heeseung never liked change, especially one as big as this. But as much as he hated it, he knew it was inevitable and he needed to make some changes for his son to be happy.

"Hyung, Jungwon and Haneul are in the car, you coming?" Jay asked as he peeked his head into the room. Heeseung just nodded, looking back at his old desk with a sigh.

Haneul was finally going to live a normal life and Heeseung would do anything to make sure of it.

Chapter Text

It was another usual morning for a certain pink haired male who hummed as he placed all of the fallen children's books into their set places on the shelves. He smiled to himself as he picked up a lollipop that had fallen onto the floor, knowing that it was definitely from one of the kids in the class yesterday.

He nodded to himself satisfied at how clean the classroom was, before he made his way to the staff rooms. He opened the door and tried to step inside, only to gasp at the sight of his two colleagues on the floor, one holding the other in a chokehold by the neck.

"FUCK YOU, SUNGHOON! THE KIDS LIKE ME MORE!" Sim Jaeyun, a male with a personality as fiery as his bright red hair, screamed at his colleague Sunghoon, who was under him and trying to pry off the hands choking him at his neck.

"GET OFF ME, YOU FUCKING ANIMAL! ATLEAST SUNOO LIKES ME MORE!" Park Sunghoon, a male with a personality as icy as his silver hair, screamed back and tried to claw at Jaeyun's arms.

"NO, HE LIKES ME MORE!" Jaeyun bit back angrily.

"I don't like the either of you."

Snapped the two males out of their killing demeanour as they both turned to see their pink haired colleague standing at the door with a disappointed look on his face.

"SUNOO!" They both shouted in relief and scrambled to push away from each other.

Kim Sunoo, their pink haired colleague, just sighed at them, not finding this interaction any bit shocking to him since it had happened many times before. Sunoo honestly wondered how Jaeyun and Sunghoon hadn't murdered each other, but once one or the other did, Sunoo wouldn't know if he'd be surprised or not.

"Sunoo-ah! I missed you so much!" Jaeyun was the first to say as he quickly adjusted his outfit, running a hand through his hair as he smiled down at Sunoo.

"You saw me yesterday, hyung." Sunoo giggled, trying to walk to his desk but was stopped by another tall figure.

"Sorry you had to see that side of me, darling, but anyways, good morning, my love." Sunghoon smirked to the pink haired male who almost screamed in frustration.

"Good morning, Sunghoon hyung. Also, how many times have I told you to stop with the pet names?" Sunoo said in the politest voice his could muster.

"Sorry, love, you're just too cute not to tease." Sunghoon winked, making Jaeyun scoff.

The red-haired male was making his way to the two when Sunoo decided that it was enough and he slipped his way in between his colleagues, safely making it to his desk.

Sunoo sighed as he placed his phone on the desk, grabbing out the role as he mentally prepared himself for the day.

Meet Kim Sunoo, a male with a personality as bright as his baby pink coloured hair, who worked as a kindergarten teacher for the past few years. He was a very social person; however, it did take time for him to open up to people, so he only had two close friends, which happened to be the two wrestling males on the floor earlier, Park Sunghoon and Sim Jaeyun.

Now, Sunoo knew that they were both romantically interested in him, but he only saw those two as reliable older brothers who meant the world to him. He had rejected them many times, but their will was as strong as their hate for each other so it seemed that they wouldn't get the idea any time soon.

It honestly amused Sunoo because there was so much sexual tension between those two that it seemed everyone in the world knew except for them. Seeing them bickering with each other all of the time made him wonder whether they really liked him or if they honestly just used him as an excuse to hide their affection for one another.

Other than his two fighting hyungs who he had met through this job, he absolutely adored his kids. The students were all absolutely adorable and Sunoo had been given the privilege of teaching the older students at the kindergarten, the ones that were in their final year before they'd start primary school.

Despite the constant bickering and teasing from his two work colleagues, he was living an amazing life with his dream job.

Well- almost an amazing life.

Like all sappy love stories, Sunoo too had his fair share of heartbreak. His last relationship ended up being his worst one so far, especially since it lasted the longest and hurt him the most.

The moment he thought he'd found the one for him, it seemed that he must've been a murderer in his past life because someone up there really hated him, and decided he didn't deserve to be happy.

He fell so damn hard for a boy that had barely started uni and Sunoo was honestly going to propose sooner or later if he hadn't walked into their shared apartment and found his boyfriend (now ex), making out with another guy on their couch.

Sunoo learnt a very valuable life lesson that day: never date younger guys, especially really sweet and affectionate and sexy 6'2", younger, blonde-haired Japanese boys, with amazing dance moves and a heavy video game addiction. The blonde hair should've already served as a red flag, but Sunoo was too caught up in romance that he failed to notice the boy wasn't even a natural blonde.

It really did hurt Sunoo though, he liked his ex more than enough to marry him while the other was still in his horny fuckboy era.

Here he was, age 24 and already stressing about getting too old. He tried to convince himself that all he needed was to be happy with his dream job and his two older hyungs, but he wanted more.

He was the biggest sweetheart and was an absolute romantic at heart, who valued those sappy cliche things like first times and special anniversaries. However, it seemed that the older as he became, the more he found himself losing that side of him, only becoming more and more bored with his life.

"Babe, we've got some kids at the gates. You coming?" Jaeyun's cheery voice snapped Sunoo from his thoughts. He looked up at the Australian male who ran a hand through his long blonde hair again, making Sunoo smile at the action.

"Hyung~" Sunoo whined at the petname, making Jaeyun chuckle.

"Heard there's a new kid in your class. I'm pretty sure he's at the gate right now." Jaeyun smiled as he reached his hand out and caressed the back of Sunoo's pink hair fondly. Sunoo's eyes lit up at the mention of the new child, making him stand up abruptly and almost knocking over Jaeyun who flinched back.

"I FORGOT ABOUT THAT- HYUNG LET'S GO!" Sunoo squealed gleefully and grabbed Jaeyun's sleeve as the ran out of the room, dragging the blonde male with him.

Sunghoon who had just returned from the restroom, raised an eyebrow as he saw the two males rush past him hurriedly. "Yo, where are you guys going?" He asked and followed the them to the gate.

Sunoo craned his neck, trying to spot the new child among all the other young children that were arriving. He pouted when he didn't see any new faces, so he turned to Jaeyun and huffed. "Where's the new kid, hyung?" He asked.

"The new kid? He was taken inside by Tzuyu noona." Sunghoon said while waving to some of the children making their way inside.

"Aww really? I wanted to greet his parents." Sunoo pouted.

"That's the weird thing, he wasn't with his parents." Sunghoon whispered while looking around to make sure he wasn't being heard.

"And how do you know this? Weren't you busy taking a shit, sweetheart?" Jaeyun asked sceptically with a raised eyebrow.

"First of all, work hours, no swearing, dumbass. And second, you can hear many things from the bathroom, sweetheart." Sunghoon sarcastically smiled to Jaeyun, making him scoff again.

"What do you mean he wasn't with his parents? Did he come alone?" Sunoo asked.

"He wasn't alone, he came with two other men. The both had masks on so Tzuyu didn't get to see their faces, but one of them looked really young, she said" The silver haired male shrugged.

"They could've been his dads." Sunoo stated matter of factly.

"Nope, apparently kid called them samchon." Sunghoon replied.

"Either way, I've got a good feeling about this." Sunoo smiled. "I'll see you two later!" Sunoo chuckled and winked at them playfully as walked off before they'd start fighting over who it was for.

----------------------

Haneul wanted to cry.

It was the little boy's first time going out of the house and the poor baby already hated it. Jungwon and Jay had just dropped him off and he had been told to go play around in the play area while he waited for more kids to arrive and for further instructions from the teachers.

The 6-year-old boy looked around with wide and curious eyes, wanting to say something but he was just so scared. He never knew people his age could be so scary. There were a couple of kids playing in the sandbox, but Haneul was too terrified to approach them.

Another boy his age walked towards him, making him panic slightly. Haneul inhaled deeply, trying to calm his nerves as he remembered what his father and uncles had told him.

----------------------

"Remember, Han-ah. If you see someone, glare at them and if they glare back then they're a threat. Stay away from them. If they don't glare back, then nod at them but don't day anything else." Heeseung said, only to receive a wack on his arm from Jay.

"Idiot, he's 6 years old." Jay rolled his eyes, making Heeseung scoff.

"You never know, Jay-ah. People start off their kids as young as they can ." Heeseung argued but Jungwon just sighed and grabbed Haneul by the shoulders, turning the boy to face him.

"Haneul, don't listen to him. Your father hasn't seen a real person in years, so he's forgotten how to socialise." Jungwon said, making Heeseung's eyebrows flare up.

"Excuse me-"

"If you see kids, go say 'hi', okay? Ask them what they're doing and talk to them about what you like to do. If you feel it in your tummy that they're a bad person, don't go near them, okay bub? Only do what you're comfortable with." Jungwon told him and Haneul nodded, listening to every word Jungwon said.

"Once you talk a lot with someone and you like them a lot, they'll be your friend! So, go and make lots of friends, okay love?"

"Okie, Wonie!" Haneul giggled and the three males almost cried from how adorable he was.

----------------------

Haneul gulped harshly and opened his mouth, trying to say hi to the other boy, but his voice cracked really badly, making an awkward whispered sound instead. He hoped the other boy had understood him, so he tried to give them a small smile while ignoring how quickly his heart was beating.

The other boy stood in front of him and looked at him for a few seconds before walking past him and shoving him to the ground. Haneul gasped in shock as his body hit the floor and he winced in pain, his eyes becoming glossy.

Why is the boy so mean? Are all boys this mean? Haneul thought as he curled up into a ball on the fake grass, wanting to burst out wailing.

It had only been a few minutes and he didn't like kindergarten. He didn't even like going outside. He wasn't going to go outside again. He wasn't going to talk to boys again. He hated boys-

"Sweetheart, are you okay?"

Haneul looked up and he almost gasped when he saw cotton candy. He rubbed his eyes with his little fists, squinting at the fluffy pink colour that stood above him. Is the candy talking to me? He thought.

"Mr. Candy?" Haneul asked in a sniffly voice. The person tilted their head and satred at him for a few seconds, only to burst out laughing in realisation.

Sunoo bent down in front of the little boy with a bright smile on his face, his eyes disappearing into crescents. "Hello, baby." Sunoo cooed at the child who looked at him with wide glossy eyes.

"Why are you crying, bub?" Sunoo asked gently as he pat the boys soft hair, trying to calm him down.

Haneul said nothing but only stared at Sunoo curiously, feeling immensely comforted in his presence and by the hand stroking his hair.

"You're really pretty, mister." Haneul stated, and Sunoo immediately blushed, feeling overjoyed by the sudden compliment from the child.

"O-Oh! Thank you, love." Sunoo giggled, making Haneul giggle as well and Sunoo's eyes widened as he stared at the child lovingly.

Sunoo didn't know why, but he suddenly felt really drawn to this kid. He had seen the boy curled up and crying on the floor and had decided to go speak to them, only to realise it was the new child.

"You still didn't tell me why you were crying." Sunoo said while making a sad crying face, jutting his lips out in a pout.

Haneul looked down at his small fingers, not wanting to seem like a baby in front of the older. He really liked the way the cotton candy man spoke to him in a gently voice, so he didn't want the man to leave him because he was too much of a crybaby like Jay samchon.

Sunoo just smiled at him, grabbing the boy under his shoulders and lifting him up into his arms as he stood up. Haneul gasped and looked at Sunoo in shock, wrapping his arms around Sunoo's neck.

"Let's go on an adventure, okay bub? I'll show you all the coolest places here!" Sunoo cheered and Haneul blinked at him before blushing softly and nodding his head shyly.

Was this the type of person that Jungwon samchon was talking about? Haneul thought as he clutched onto Sunoo who excitedly bounced the boy in his arms and carried him around the kindergarten. Haneul smiled at the older male, feeling so much happier than before as his heart beat was still fast, but not in a scary way anymore.

He had found his first friend.

Chapter Text

Something Haneul would never have imagined was finding his best friend in the form of a cotton candy haired 24-year-old adult male who also happened to be his teacher.

He had come back from the kindergarten, after spending an amazing day with his first friend. The cotton candy man had sat with him all during the food breaks and even played with him in play time. Haneul couldn't be any happier and he felt so loved and comfortable around his new friend.

There were a few instances where his friend would have to go check on other students since he was everyone's teacher, not just Haneul's, but that upset the small boy so much he'd start crying until his friend came back to cradle him.

His father had sent two drivers, Hanbin and Jaebeom to collect the boy and bring him to their new home, which Haneul honestly liked more than their last one because it wasn't in the middle of a forest.

"How was your first day, baby?" Heeseung asked his son as he held the boy in his arms lovingly.

"It was so fun appa!" Haneul giggled happily, making Heesueng's heart melt as he stared at the boy fondly. Haneul held up a drawing that he had done and he showed it to his father proudly, making the other furrow his eyebrows.

"Oh? What's this?" He asked as he grabbed the picture and inspected it. A smile appeared on his lips when he saw a drawing of a small Haneul holding the hand of a drawing of him, as he could tell from the neon green highlighter that Haneul used for his hair.

"You're quite the artist, Han-ah." Heeseung smirked to his son, making the younger giggle. But then he frowned when he noticed a third figure in the image.

"Baby, who's this?" He asked and pointed to a drawing of another stick figure but this time there was pink swirls on top of their head.

"This is my best friend!" Haneul exclaimed while smiling brightly. Heeseung looked at the boy sceptically, since Haneul never had a friend before. This could be a new threat trying to take over his mafia empire, or even worse, trying to hurt his son.

"Haneul, he doesn't look like a kindergartener." Heeseung pointed out since the drawing of the male was almost the same height as him.

"Maybe it's because he isn't?" Haneul sarcastically smiled while rolling his eyes, making his father scoff at the attitude. Haneul jumped off Heeseung's lap to grab the remote and start watching some tv, meanwhile his father was deep in thought, as a million different scenarios went through his mind.

"Wonie! Jay samchon!" Haneul suddenly squealed as he jumped up and ran towards the couple that had just entered the room.

"Ah!" Jay pretended to scream in fear when Haneul jumped on him, roaring like an animal. He lifted the boy up and twirled him around, making him laugh loudly.

Jungwon smiled at his boyfriend and the young child, but then noticed the moping head of broccoli on the couch. He rolled his eyes and went to sit next to Heeseung, raising an eyebrow at the male.

"You don't seem very happy, hyung." Jungwon pointed out, making Heeseung scoff as he ignored the younger.

"Wonie! Wonie! I made a friend!" Haneul jumped up and down excitedly. Jungwon smiled as he brought the boy onto his lap, holding him tightly.

"Really? Who is it?" Jungwon asked.

"Ddeonu hyungie!" Haneul smiled brightly, showing his bright baby teeth. Jungwon tilted his head confusedly.

"Hyungie? Is he older than you, love?" He asked.

"I think he's a teacher." Heeseung interrupted, still sounding very sceptical.

"So he's an adult?" Jay asked as he also sat down on the couch next to Jungwon.

"No, he's a child who just happened to become a teacher." Heeseung sarcastically said. Jay picked up on of the cushions and threw it at the mafia boss with a scowl.

"You all talk too much. I wanna watch tv." Haneul announced and the three males shut up to watch in awe at the young boy who went to grab a juice box from the kitchen before coming back and sitting on his father's lap as if it were a throne.

"You can really tell he's Heeseung's kid." Jay muttered in disbelief.

"Something wrong with that?" Heeseung scowled back.

But Jungwon glanced at the drawing that Haneul drew in wonder, pursing his lips at the image of the pink haired man. It's not that he was jealous Haneul became so close with another adult so quickly, but that was exactly what the problem was.

After Haneul was born, it took him and Jay a collective 2 years to get the young boy to not cry around them. He had tried to hold Haneul in his arms so many times, but the younger would only wail for his father.

Jay had somehow bribed the small child into liking him and finally after Jungwon nearly risked his life after standing in a queue at the toy store for 7 hours for a Charizard plushie, he got Haneul to like him.

So, hearing Haneul, a young boy who had developed social anxiety, become friends with an adult teacher so quickly made him concerned about whether the person was really trying to be Haneul's friend or using the young boy for ulterior motives.

"Hyungs." Jungwon said and both Jay and Heeseung turned to look at the brown-haired male. He eyed Haneul and Heeseung understood, picking up his son and placing the immersed boy onto the carpet to watch tv while they spoke.

"I don't trust Haneul's teacher." Jungwon seriously stated and Heeseung nodded, agreeing with him.

"I'm going to ask Jaebeom and Hanbin hyung to make sure Haneul is completely safe before and after they drop him off." Heeseung said.

"You're not gonna run a background check?" Jay asked.

"I would've, if Kei hyung didn't deny my access to the system. Says I need to 'start trusting people' and shit. It's fucking ridiculous." Heeseung scowled.

"Kei hyung has a point, though." Jay mumbled, making Heeseung glare at him but the two froze when they heard Haneul shush them loudly from his spot in front of the tv.

"Sorry, baby." Heeseung apologised, and Haneul turned back to the screen with a satisfied smile.

"One day in kindy, and he's already fucking barbarian." Jay muttered in disbelief, making Jungwon chuckle when Heeseung glared at Jay again.

"Anyways, we'll let it run for a week. It's only our first time in an actual neighbourhood, so we need time to settle down, otherwise word will spread." Heeseung said.

Jay and Jungwon nodded, looking at the small boy that sat in front of the tv, watching Pokémon while giggling happily to himself.

They swore that they would do anything to protect their baby, even if it meant someone else had to get hurt.

----------------------

(a few days later)

"I say we go eat my favourite galbijjim and samgyeopsal." Sunghoon said, making Jaeyun scoff at him.

"I don't want to eat that. I want tacos." He huffed while crossing his arms over his chest. Sunghoon's eyebrows flared up in anger as he huffed as well, staring down the male.

"Did I ask?"

"Motherfucker, I make the decisions around here."

"On my fucking grave!"

Sunoo sighed as he packed his bag, getting ready to close down the kindergarten. It was now Friday, and now children would be coming in tomorrow because of the weekend. He shook his head at his two arguing friends and walked up to them, clearing his throat when he noticed how close they stood next to each other.

The two immediately pushed away from each other, a red flush on both of their faces. "Are you two going out?" Sunoo asked.

Jake's eyes widened as did Sunghoon's and they both looked at each other in disgust.

"The fuck you mean 'going out'?"

"Why the fuck would I go out with him?"

Sunoo giggled at his two hyungs who were both growling at each other like animals. "I meant going out to get food, but anyways, I'm going to head home now. You two should hurry, the restaurants are going to be packed soon and you two won't be able to enjoy your little date." He suggested and the two males huffed at him.

"You're not coming with us?" Sunghoon sadly asked, and Sunoo shook his head apologetically.

"Man, I didn't want to eat with this dumbass there." Jaeyun huffed.

Sunghoon rolled his eyes and glared at him. "I'm literally smarter than you." He argued back.

"Atleast my dog's cuter." Jaeyun mumbled.

"FUCK OFF, GAEUL WOULD LITERALLY DEVOUR LAYLA!"

"I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT BITCH TRY!"

"Okay, I'm going to leave you two to sort this out. If you're going to fuck by the end of it, please do it at home or...just somewhere not in public." Sunoo teased them by making a gagging face before he rushed off, leaving the two older males dumbfounded.

Sunghoon looked at Jaeyun subtly, flinching in surprise when he saw the other already staring at him. The silver haired male scoffed, running a hand through his hair.

"You got something to say, babe?" He pridefully smirked thinking that Jaeyun was checking him out.

Jaeyun scoffed and rolled his eyes."You look like a roach."

"THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY?"

"I SAID WHAT I SAID!"

And just like Sunoo said, the two did end up going on a 'date' at the nearest convenience store because they both decided ramyeon was enough for a Friday night, and they would end up starving if they kept arguing over what to eat.

Sadly, they did not fuck afterwards.

----------------------

The pink haired teacher chuckled to himself, hoping that his plan of setting his two friends up with each other would work soon. It honestly wasn't that challenging since they were both so head over heels for each other but were distracted by Sunoo's irresistible charm.

But who could blame them?

Sunoo was about to walk home when he suddenly saw a small curled up figure sitting on the side of the road, with their head down in their hands.

"What are they doing?" Sunoo thought to himself and titled his head as he approached the child. He noticed the bright Pokémon themed backpack that was next to the young child, making his eyebrows furrow as he knew who it belonged to.

"Haneul-ah?" Sunoo asked and the child looked up at him with tears on his face.

"Ddeonu hyungie!" Haneul cried and suddenly stood up and jumped on Sunoo, hugging the pink haired male's legs tightly as he cried.

"Baby, why are you here all alone?" Sunoo asked as he pat the boy's back. Haneul sniffled softly and looked up at his best friend with teary eyes.

"Appa left me!" He cried. Sunoo's heart broke hearing this and he hugged the boy tightly in his arms.

"Baby, no. I'm pretty sure your appa is just running late or something. Does he usually pick you up?" Sunoo asked the boy, who shook his head.

"Binnie and Beommie hyung pick me up." he sniffled and Sunoo frowned at the unfamiliar names.

Binnie and Beommie? He looked at Haneul and focused on calming the child down for now. It was already 6pm and there was still not sign of anyone coming to pick up Haneul. It was quite secluded neighbourhood, so he was sure that someone would know who Haneul's father was.

But then again, Jaeyun had guessed that the family had just moved here because Haneul hadn't attended the kindy before. Sunoo sighed as he stood up and held the boy's shoulders while looking around for any sign of someone.

"Let me call your father." Sunoo said and Haneul nodded. The pink haired male took out his phone and went through the contacts of the children's parents, finally finding the one for Haneul's parents.

He called the number, but the line immediately cut and redirected to voicemail, making him grumble. He called the number multiple times, becoming more and more nervous as Haneul stared up at him with hopeful curious eyes. With no reply, Sunoo placed his phone back into his back and gave a sad smile to the younger.

"Your father isn't picking up, bub." Sunoo mumbled and bit his bottom lip as he looked around. He couldn't just leave the boy here, and he knew Haneul would be scared if he took the younger to his house.

He gnawed on his bottom lip and tried to think of other options. He and Haneul had become close enough for the boy to trust him so he didn't want to take the child to the police station, because that was no place for a child to be in the night. Suddenly he got an idea.

"Do you wanna get some ice-cream in the park? It's not too far away from here, so if your father comes soon, then he'll know where to find us." The pink haired male said.

He had a plan where he would message Jaeyun and Sunghoon to call the head manager of the kindergarten to see if he could take Haneul to a shelter for the time being and stay with the boy there until his parents showed up. Until then, he was going to take Haneul for some ice-cream to calm both of their nerves.

Haneul thought about it for a few seconds and sniffled softly with a pout on his lips, making Sunoo coo at how adorable he looked. "Okie." Haneul said. Sunoo smiled sweetly at the boy and grabbed the child's small hand in his own.

"Let's go!" He announced happily, trying to calm down the child even though he was internally panicking.

----------------------

"Why isn't Haneul back yet? Hanbin hyung and Jaebeom should've picked up Haneul by now."

Heeseung frowned as it was now 6pm, and his son wasn't home yet. His worries were growing by the second, and he turned to one of his guards and they told him that Hanbin and Jaebeom hadn't left the building since morning.

"Call them here, right now." Heeseung demanded, and the man nodded, bowing as he left to bring back the other two males.

The two came into the room laughing loudly with each other but they immediately froze up at the sight of Heeseung glaring at them furiously.

"Where the fuck is my son?" He growled angrily.

The two males looked at each other with confused expressions and turned back to their boss. "Boss, you didn't tell us to pick him." Jaebeom answered and Heeseung slammed his hand down on the table with a loud thud, making them flinch.

"What the fuck do you mean 'I didn't tell you'?" Heeseung snarled.

"Boss, it's a Friday. You've never made us work on Friday. The only instructions you gave us for today was to 'enjoy ourselves'." Hanbin frowned.

Heeseung furrowed his eyebrows, glaring at the two to see if they were lying, but when he realised, they weren't, he suddenly became alarmed.

"If you two aren't picking up Haneul, then who the fuck is?" Heeseung growled and grabbed his phone to ring Jungwon.

"Hello?" Jungwon groggily answered, obvious that he had been asleep.

"Jungwon, where's Haneul?" Heeseung asked and the brunette furrowed his eyebrows.

"What do you mean 'where's Haneul'? I wasn't the one picking him up today." Jungwon replied.

"THEN WHERE IS MY SON?" Heeseung growled, making Jungwon flinch as he sat up and immediately started to get ready.

"Stop shouting hyung, I'm on my way. Is Jay there with you?" Jungwon asked.

"No, he's with Kei hyung in comms." Heeseung replied.

"I'll be over at comms in a few minutes. Please, don't do anything stupid." Jungwon ordered and cut the call before Heeseung could shout at him again.

The green haired male called Jay and asked the male where Haneul was. He told Jay that Jungwon didn't know where the young boy was either, making the male scream in shock.

"OH MY GOD, OUR BABY'S BEEN KIDNAPPED?" Jay asked loudly through the phone and Heeseung would've punched him if he was in the same room.

"Hand the phone to Kei hyung." Heeseung commanded Jay, who passed it to the older male.

"Yo Hee, everything good?" Kei asked and Heeseung sighed, trying to calm down.

"Hyung, can you check if Haneul is still at the kindergarten?" Heeseung asked Kei, who quickly checked the tracker that they had put into Haneul's water bottle.

"He's in the park a bit further away from it." Kei answered with a frown.

"Show me the CCTV." Heeseung demanded and Kei nodded, typing into his computer and pulling up the live footage which was very blurry because of how out-dated it was.

All of them looked at the screen, seeing Haneul sitting at one of the tables near an ice-cream stall in the park. Heeseung frowned when he saw a pink haired male coming to his son with two cups of ice-cream in his hand.

His eyes suddenly widened in realisation when he remembered Haneul saying his best friend was a pink haired teacher from his kindy. His knuckles turned white from how hardly he gripped his phone and he threw it at the wall as he scowled in anger.

He should never have trusted his son with the teachers at this new place. His poor child was being taken by a pedophile and he hadn't even known till now. Heeseung turned to grab one of his guns from the drawer, shoving it into the bolster around his waist.

"OUR BABY, NO!" Jay cried from the other side of the now cracked phone, after seeing how Haneul ate the ice-cream that the pink haired man gave to him.

"Jay, I'm coming over. Hanbin hyung, Jaebeom, gear up. You two are going to bring me back my son and the fucker who dared to mess with me." Heeseung ordered, and the two males nodded and head off to get ready.

"I'M GOING TO KILL HIM, THAT FUCKER- what was his name?" Heeseung stopped to ask.

"I think it was 'Ddeonu'?" Jay answered through the phone and Heeseung nodded his head with as he made his way to Kei's place.

"Motherfucking Ddeonu." He snarled venomously.

Chapter Text

"Which flavour do you want, sweetheart?" The elderly woman asked Haneul who looked at the different ice-cream flavours with wide eyes.

Sunoo chuckled at how adorable the young boy looked and pat his head fondly. "I want mint choco!" Haneul giggled and smiled at the old woman, melting her heart.

Sunoo's eyes widened at what Haneul said, making his heart beat faster from a distant memory in his mind. He and his ex, Nishimura Riki, had come here for ice-cream after Sunoo finished his shift at the kindergarten.

The pink haired boy remembers how he and Riki would bicker endlessly about ice-cream, specifically Sunoo's favourite flavour, mint chocolate. Sunoo would love the flavour so much, but Riki would only gag and make disgusted faces, saying that Sunoo had shit taste in ice-cream.

Turns out he had shit taste in men as well.

"And what would you like, dear?" the woman asked Sunoo as she handed Haneul a cup of mint-chocolate ice-cream, who smiled happily.

"I'll have mint chocolate, please." Sunoo smiled sweetly, making the woman's heart melt again.

The two boys got their ice-cream, and both bowed to the lady after paying her. They went to sit on one of the tables in the park, watching as the sun was going down.

Haneul looked at the ice-cream with curious, looking up to Sunoo who tilted his head. The small boy grabbed the spoon in his tiny hands and took a bite of the ice-cream, his eyes immediately lighting up as he clapped his hands happily.

"Finally, another person that doesn't hate mint chocolate!" Sunoo cried out in relief, making Haneul giggle.

"It tastes really yummy. Thank you, Ddeonu!" Haneul said. Sunoo smiled at the younger, patting his head softly.

"No problem, love. Also, how many times do I have to tell you my name is Sunoo, huh?" He teased the boy, making him laugh once more.

"I just hope your parents come by soon." Sunoo muttered as he looked up at the darkening sky.

He was getting more and more worried about what he would do with the child, since he couldn't take the boy home, nor could he leave the boy at the kindergarten. He knew the police station wasn't an option since that's no place for a small child to be, so he could only pray that Haneul's parents would come soon.

He didn't know how but in the course of this week, he had fallen in love with the small child, wanting to protect him forever. The small boy reminded Sunoo so much of a baby deer, a precious child who was curious about the world but so afraid of exploring it.

Now, Sunoo was only a kindergarten teacher but he could clearly see that Haneul had social anxiety. He knew Haneul was quite young, but he could tell that the young child wasn't just shy, rather he was absolutely terrified of contact with others he didn't know or trust.

Sunoo felt his heart break for the younger and swore that he would help Haneul make more and more friends and grow up happily with all the other children in his class. He didn't know anything about Haneul's home situation, so he could only try and make the younger happy while he was with him.

Haneul held up a spoonful of the ice-cream to Sunoo's lips, snapping the male out of his worried thoughts. The pink haired male smiled at the younger, taking a bite of the ice-cream and patting his head. The two boys giggled with each other happily, completely unaware of the pairs of eyes watching them intently.

----------------------

"Boss, I've found them." Jaebeom whispered into the intercom.

He glanced around, making sure he wasn't spotted and that the surroundings were clear, before he signalled to Jaebeom to follow him. He slowly pulled out a small syringe inside his jacket coat and made his way towards the pink haired male sitting with Heeseung's son.

"Jaebeom, be careful." Heeseung warned as he watched through the body cam. He gnawed on his bottom lip in anger feeling the ugly bloodlust rising in him when he saw the fluffy pink hair show up on screen.

They had tracked Haneul in this park and it didn't take long to find the young boy who resembled his father so much. The adult that sat with Haneul made Hanbin feel nervous, knowing that this was the boy's kidnapper.

Hanbin was now to metres behind Sunoo, the tension of the situation suddenly getting to him as he nodded to Jaebeom and leapt forward.

"Hanbin, now!" Jaebeom said making Sunoo whip his head around in confusion, only to hiss as a sharp pain appeared on the side of his neck.

"Wha-" He grunted and reached towards Haneul, trying to shield the boy as he saw the two heavily dressed in black figures.

"He's trying to grab Haneul!" Jaebeom hissed and threw the rough black bag over Sunoo's face. Sunoo couldn't breathe and he tried to pry off the bag from his head, trying to understand what was happening. He needed to know who these guys were and why they were after him, but his main concern in that moment was Haneul.

"Ha-n-hane-" He choked out but the serum from the tranquiliser had reached his head, making his mind fuzz as he became dizzier.

"YES!" Jungwon cheered from behind Heeseung and he jumped onto Jay, who spun him around in the air.

"OUR HANEUL IS SAFE AGAIN!" Jay cheered and Heeseung sighed in relief.

But he wasn't fully content. When he sees that motherfucker, who tried to kidnap his son-  oh, the things he'll do.

Jaebeom picked up a confused Haneul in his arms, who looked at the two with a frown. His ice cream cup and spoon both fell from his hands from the sudden force, making tears well in his eyes.

"MY MINT CHOCO!" He wailed and Jaebeom rocked him gently and shushed him, trying to calm him down. Jungwon suddenly stood back up from Jay's arms, furrowing his eyebrows as he tried to process what he had just heard through the monitor.

"Mint choco? MINT CHOCO?" Jungwon gasped out in offence.

"OH MY GOD, THAT FUCKER BRAINWASHED OUR POOR BOY INTO LIKING MINT CHOCOLATE!" Jay sobbed dramatically.

Heeseung rolled his eyes and wacked his friend's arm, focusing back on the screen as Hanbin dragged the now unconscious boy into the van with Jaebeom holding his crying son in his arms.

"Bring my son back, boys. And that motherfucker too." Heeseung commanded to which the two males replied by nodding curtly.

----------------------

Sunoo groaned as he opened his eyes, blinking a few times as he tried to adjust to the sudden darkness around him.

"Wha-" He tried to stand up, but his hands and feet were bound tightly, being held down by what he assumed were ropes. His eyes were wide open now and he realised there was something over his face.

He gasped as he tried not to panic, his only worry being for the poor boy who was with him. Maybe he had done something for him to deserve being kidnapped by strangers, but Haneul didn't.

"Hello?" Sunoo asked slowly, wanting to make sure that he wasn't alone.

He heard some shuffling from in front of him, making him squint as he tried to make out the figure through the cloth in front of his face. Standing a few feet away from Sunoo was Heeseung, along with Jungwon and Jay who held Haneul in his arms, cradling the worried baby.

Heeseung eyed the tied-up boy, narrowing his eyes dangerously as he walked towards him. Sunoo sensed someone coming closer to him, making him suddenly feel angry at the sudden situation.

"Where's Haneul? What did you do to him?" Sunoo grunted out, not daring to seem weak in front of the intimidating voice.

"Still worrying about the kid? Fucking pedophile." Heeseung spat as he came closer to the him, taking what Sunoo had said completely wrong.

"You're the pedophile, kidnapping a child, you fucking pervert." Sunoo bit back, but this made Heeseung's anger snap. No-one, and I repeat, no-one had dared to speak to Heeseung this way before and the fact that a pedophile who tried to hurt his son disrespected him like this, made his blood boil.

His eyes flared furiously, and he raised his hand before a loud punch resonated in the room. Sunoo cried in pain as his head lolled to the side from the impact of Heeseung's hit. Heeseung leaned down to Sunoo's level, grabbing the back of his head.

"You better shut the fuck up, before I make you, cunt." He growled.

It was quiet for a few seconds as Sunoo sobbed softly, biting his lips to try and ignore the pain around his mouth. This was definitely going to hurt like a bitch later.

"Do whatever you want to me but let the child go." Sunoo desperately begged which made the other three males in the room go silent. Jay and Jungwon eyed each other as Heeseung looked at Sunoo with narrowed eyes.

"Appa! Why did you hit Ddeonu?! He took care of me!" Haneul suddenly burst out angrily as he jumped down from Jay's arms.

"No, he didn't baby, he was trying to hurt you!" Heeseung reasoned in annoyance and tried to hug his son, but Haneul slapped his hand away.

"Jay and Wonie didn't come to pick me up, so Ddeonu waited with me! He even called you so many times, but you didn't pick up." Haneul argued while stomping his feet on the ground.

"What? Jay, you were supposed to pick Haneul up." Jungwon suddenly said turning to Jay.

"Babe what? I was in comms with Kei hyung. You were supposed to pick up Haneul." Jay argued and they both freezed.

It was suddenly quiet again.

"Are you telling me...Haneul wasn't kidnapped by his teacher, but rather neither of you were there to pick him up?" Heeseung growled lowly and Jay and Jungwon froze at the anger behind his voice.

"Appa, why won't you pick up your phone"! Haneul angrily grabbed Heeseung's jacket and shook him.

Heeseung tilted his head in confusion before he himself froze and his eyes widened as he tutted and slapped his forehead. "I told Kei hyung to give the kindergarten my burner phone's number." He grunted realising that this was all his fault.

"Will someone please tell me what's going on." Sunoo huffed from under the rag, tears streaming down his face from how badly his head hurt from Heeseung's punch.

The three males widened their eyes and Heeseung immediately went to Sunoo and pulled the cloth off, freezing when he makes eye contact with the pink haired male. Sunoo coughed slightly, squinting his eyes from the sudden light that shone brightly on his face.

Holy fuck, he's so pretty. Heeseung thought.

The baby fat around Sunoo's cheeks and plump pink lower lip looked so alluring. His eyes were a beautiful light brown, and the two chocolate chips lost in his cheeks looked so beautiful. His cat-ish slanted eyes and his pretty long eye lashes sat preciously on his clear pale skin.

Sunoo was also shocked when he made contact with Heeseung, finding himself feeling whiplash from how attractive the other was.

He just hit you, what is wrong with you. He mentally scolded himself, trying to look for Haneul instead.

Heeseung immediately felt guilty seeing droplets of blood drabble from Sunoo's now busted lip, down his chin. The pink haired had tears in his pretty eyes as they wandered all across the room. A look of relief washed over him when he saw Haneul standing behind a cat looking boy.

"Haneul!" Sunoo almost sobbed.

"Ddeonu!" Haneul sobbed as well and ran towards Sunoo, hugging him tightly as Heeseung removed the restraints from Sunoo's now bruised wrists.

Jay and Jungwon had been watching the whole interaction with wide eyes, also feeling themselves stunned from how beautiful Sunoo was. Jungwon coughed as he approached the pink-haired teacher.

"Hey...are you okay?" Jungwon asked hurriedly, pushing past a frozen Heeseung. Sunoo looked him up and down while staring at him for a few seconds.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" He suddenly shouted making Jungwon and Haneul flinch at the outburst.

"Do you kidnap every fucking person with a child? And what's your relation to this kid?" Sunoo asked angrily, shielding Haneul in his arms and hiding the boy away from the three other males.

"Hyungie, please forgive appa!" Haneul cried and Sunoo looked at him confused.

"Appa?"

Haneul nodded and looked up with his doe eyes. He lifted his hand and pointed to the sexy stranger that had been standing next to Sunoo awkwardly and Sunoo's eyes widened.

"You're his father?!" He asked in shock and somewhat disgust.

"What's so shocking about that, darling?" Heeseung scoffed with a hint of mischief in his eyes.

"Haneul is an absolute sweetheart and you're an-" Sunoo stopped and looked Heeseung up and down.

"Asshole." Sunoo mumbled and Haneul giggled in between his tears.

"Sunoo hyungie said a bad word." Haneul smiled cheekily and Sunoo beamed at the kid and squished his cheeks.

Unknowingly, Heeseung found himself staring longingly at the pink haired boy with his son, finding their interaction so intriguingly adorable.

In fact, he found Sunoo adorable.

"Is this really your father, baby? If the bad man told you to say this, you can tell me and I'll call the police right now." Sunoo whispered cautiously to Haneul, still not trusting the male next to him.

Heeseung glanced at Jay and Jungwon who smirked at Sunoo's naiveness, the pink haired male not knowing that he had the entire justice system in his control.

"He is!" Haneul smiled and grabbed Heeseung's hand, holding his father's pinkie finger in his own small hand.

Sunoo eyed them sceptically but decided not to make any further comments. "Where am I, and who are you?" He asked the three males with furrowed brows.

"I'm Jay, this is my boyfriend Wonie Pie, and this is Heeseung hyung!" Jay happily answered, earning a punch on his shoulder from Jungwon. "Why don't you tell him our social security numbers while you're at it?" Jungwon growled, making his boyfriend wince and grumble.

The blonde dude is Jay, and his scary short boyfriend is 'Wonie Pie', so he must be Heeseung hyung. Sunoo thought while he stared at the tall green haired male that stood near him.

Haneul giggled at their bickering and pulled on his father's hand, making the older look at him questioningly. He pointed towards Sunoo and Heeseung gave his son a short smile before walking towards the pink haired male.

"Do you know who I am?" Heeseung asked while staring at Sunoo seriously. He knew that many people had heard of his name and would start cowering in fear if they knew who's presence they were in, but Sunoo didn't say anything.

The teacher made eye contact with the taller male, titling his head as he tried to remember where he had heard the name 'Heeseung' before.

"Are you perhaps...a kpop idol?" Sunoo asked curiously and Heeseung stared at him in disbelief.

"A KPOP IDOL? WHAT A FUCKING JOKE!" Jay cackled loudly, but immediately shut up with a threatening look from both his boyfriend and Heeseung.

Heeseung turned back to Sunoo and gave him a smirk, realising the male had no clue who he was. "Yeah, something like that." He grinned and Sunoo shuddered, finding the sudden atmosphere very weird..

"Damn, you guys are crazy. Kidnapping people and shit." Sunoo muttered under his breath. He never knew kpop idols had this much power. But damn, the kpop idol in front of him was in pretty good shape even after being a father which intrigued the pink haired male.

"You still didn't answer my question though. Where am I and where is my phone?" Sunoo asked as he somewhat glared at Heeseung intimidatingly, but to the older he looked like an angry baby fox.

He's adorable. Heeseung thought, chuckling to himself.

"We're in Jay's home, and we dropped your phone when we tried to grab you, so I don't know where it is now." Heeseung said, making Sunoo's eyes widen.

This was a complete lie, though. They were in the basement of Heeseung's new home and Sunoo's phone was hidden away in Heeseung's bedroom, something that he was definitely going to investigate later.

"YOU LOST MY PHONE?" He shouted in shock, suddenly feeling like crying because he had spent most of his savings to buy that phone. Jaeyun and Sunghoon had made fun of him for having what they called 'a dinosaur phone', so he finally went and bought a new one a few months back, only to lose it now because of these kidnappers.

"Look, I know this is quite a big misunderstanding so to make up for it, why don't you stay here? It is quite late anyways." Jungwon suddenly reasoned, before a fight broke out.

"And why would I do that? You knocked me out, kidnapped me, lost my phone, punched me, and now you want me to stay in this place?" Sunoo asked in disbelief while Heeseung meekly shrugged.

"Yes...?" He mumbled and Sunoo scoffed, looking at him angrily as he wiped some of the blood on his lips.

"Someone give me a phone right now." He commanded and no-one moved. Jay and Jungwon glanced at Heeseung who was watching Sunoo with an amused expression, finding almost everything the older did to be absolutely adorable.

"On speaker. Who knows, who you'll call?" Heeseung said and Sunoo rolled his eyes, mocking Heeseung but nodding nonetheless.

Heeseung smirked at the reaction as he motioned for Jay to give Sunoo his phone, which the blonde male reluctantly handed to the small pink haired male. Sunoo gave him a side eye and dialled in Jaeyun's number.

He gnawed on his bottom lip as he hoped Jaeyun would pick up. "Hello?" He spoke out as the call suddenly turned on.

"Hello? Sunoo?" Sunghoon's groggy voice rasped out in the room.

Sunoo furrowed his eyebrows. He was sure that he had called Jaeyun's number. "Sunghoonie hyung? Where's Jake hyung?" He asked.

"Jaeyun is taking a shit right now." Sunghoon mumbled while rubbing his eyes. Sunoo could faintly hear a 'NO I'M NOT' being shouted in the background of the call.

"And what are you doing?" Sunoo asked feeling pissed, but Sunghoon was too out of it to notice.

"I'm talking to you, darling." Sunghoon giggled bashfully, flirting with the younger.

"Aw really?" Sunoo cooed and Sunghoon mumbled a shy yes. "WELL I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED HERE, YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" He suddenly yelled, making the three other males in the room and Sunghoon on the other end of the line, flinch from his loud voice.

Now, Sunoo wasn't the type to swear unless it was necessary. He was an absolute sweetheart that wouldn't judge anyone based on first impressions alone and he always tried to find the good in others. But when he was mad, oh boy-

"Huh? Babe?" Jaeyun's worried voice was heard through the phone, who had grabbed it from Sunghoon the moment he heard Sunoo's voice.

Heeseung's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as he had been listening to the whole conversation feeling slightly irritated at the way the other two males addressed Sunoo.

"Jaeyunie, please help me. These kpop idol has kidnapped me because he thinks I tried to kindap his son." Sunoo pouted, making Heeseung's heart beat a little faster from the action.

"Sunoo-ah, I know you like playing pranks on us, but this is a little bit too far, love. It's almost midnight!" Jaeyun scolded from the other end of the line, making Sunoo's jaw drop in disbelief.

Heeseung snickered slightly, and Jay covered his mouth as he held back a laugh. Sunoo sighed realising that his two hyungs would be hopeless in helping him right now, so he cut the call and rubbed his face in his hands, not in the mood to argue with them at all.

Sunoo felt a small hand touch his forehead, making him look up only to see Haneul looking at him with puppy eyes. "Please stay, Ddeonu?" Haneul asked and Sunoo sighed, internally debating what he should do.

He had been kidnapped and assaulted by the man who claimed to be the father of this absolute sweetheart of a child in front of him. He bit his bottom lip and glanced at Haneul's father, who was staring back at him with an expression Sunoo couldn't quite read.

He inhaled deeply before staring back at the short feline-looking male again, hoping that he wouldn't regret this.

"Mr. Wonie Pie, where can I stay?"

Chapter Text

"You can stay here for the night."

The pink haired male bit his lip as he tried to hold in any curses that were about to leave his lips. The room in question was a very empty and cold room with only a bed (with no sheets or pillows) and a nightstand with a mirror.

Sunoo spotted a few boxes in the corner of the room that looked very well sealed, probably since they had just moved into the place. He wasn't one to judge, especially since he himself was almost broke, but he assumed that they would've atleast given him decent place to sleep.

In all honesty, the basement didn't seem as bad now.

Sunoo walked over to the open window, looking at the room wearily. He stood by it and stared outside, sighing to himself as he rubbed his face in his hands.

It had been such a traumatic day and he didn't know how he was going to get rid of this headache that was pounding against his skull. Not to mention his busted lip and the fact that his body was still dreary from the tranquiliser.

Jungwon sighed as he noticed how exhausted Sunoo looked. He felt guilty since they had completely misunderstood the situation and Sunoo had gotten injured because of it. The brunette eyed the small drabbles of blood on Sunoo's lip and he mentally cursed Heeseung for being so rough with the innocent man.

"Sunoo-ssi. You look older than me, can I call you hyung?" Jungwon asked gently as he went and stood next to Sunoo. Sunoo looked back at Jungwon and he stared the male up and down before nodding his head.

"Sure, Mr. Wonie Pie."

"Jungwon is fine." Jungwon chuckled at the nickname, feeling a bit embarrassed since his goof of a boyfriend just didn't know when to keep his mouth shut.

"Hyung, I'm going to be honest with you, Haneul really adores you." Jungwon started, making Sunoo smile.

"I adore him as well." Sunoo giggled and Jungwon smiled at the light-hearted sound.

"But I mean it. Haneul doesn't speak to anyone other than me, Jay and his father." Jungwon said, making Sunoo frown.

"Does he have social anxiety?" The pink haired male asked and Jungwon's eyes widened.

"How do you know that?" He asked cautiously.

"I've been taking care of kids for years, Jungwon." Sunoo replied with a genuine look of concern for Haneul which calmed Jungwon's nerves for a bit.

"I'm really sorry for what happened today. I don't usually say this to anyone, but I'm honestly surprised at how close Haneul is to you already." The brunette apologised.

"Do you usually drug and kidnap every person he gets close to?" Sunoo asked and Jungwon shook his head.

"Once again, I'm really sorry, hyung. It's just...we're really protective over him because if anyone gets word of Heeseung hyung having a kid, especially one with a mental health condition, Haneul will be in danger." Jungwon explained.

Sunoo thought it made sense. Heeseung was an idol and he knows how harsh the media was to kpop idols. He couldn't even imagine how Heeseung's career and how Haneul's life would be ruined if the media found out about him having a kid.

Sunoo looked at Jungwon for a few seconds before giving the other a small smile, finding the younger males presence oddly comforting. "Thank you for trusting me with that." He smiled.

"But I'm still pissed at that green haired bitch for punching me." Sunoo grumbled right after, making Jungwon laugh loudly.

"I would be too. Anyways, I'll go get you something for your lip and some pillows and sheets." Jungwon said and pat Sunoo's shoulder. The pink haired male just nodded, not really knowing what to say.

----------------------

"You tapped him, didn't you?"

"Oh, come on, hyung, you would've done the same." Jungwon rolled his eyes at Heeseung who stood by the doorway.

"How'd you get a camera on him?" The mafia boss asked.

"Placed it on his shoulder. He seems trustworthy but I don't know yet." Jungwon explained as he grabbed the first aid box.

"Where are you taking that?" Heeseung raised an eyebrow.

"Hyung's lip is still bleeding." Jungwon said.

"Hyung?"

"Yeah, Sunoo hyung allowed me to call him 'hyung'. Why, you jealous?" Jungwon raised an eyebrow and Heeseung scoffed.

"Fuck off, why would I want to call a kid 'hyung'?" Heeseung scowled.

"Anyways, it's your fault he's in this situation. This is why you need to get out more." Jungwon shook his head and he was about to head back to Sunoo's room with the first aid box when Heeseung blocked his way.

"You're right, this is my fault. So, I should be the one to help him." Heeseung declared as he snatched the box from Jungwon's hand and pushed the shorter male into the room, before closing the door and locking it.

"YOU PIECE OF SHIT- LET ME OUT OR I'M TELLING HANEUL YOU DON'T LOVE HIM ANYMORE!" Jungwon yelled as he banged his fist against the door.

Heeseung only chuckled as he faked a gasp. "No! You wouldn't dare!" He dramatically cried before heading off to find the pretty pink haired boy.

"I fucking hate you." Jungwon sighed as he grabbed out his phone from his pocket and called his boyfriend.

"Hey love, Heeseung locked me in the store-room again. Yeah, the same one. No, he did it because he wants to take care Sunoo. Okay, love you too." The brunette rubbed his temples tiredly as he sat down, waiting for his boyfriend to come free him from this prison once again.

What was Heeseung doing now?

----------------------

Sunoo had been staring out the window, not really knowing whether he should sit down or not. Sure, the bed looked sturdy enough to hold him, but to sleep for the night? He just hoped Jungwon would come back soon with some decent sleeping aids, since his body was still fuzzy from being drugged before.

If he was being completely honest, he wasn't even scared anymore. He was just exhausted from all the events today and all the stress from Haneul finding his parents seemed to build up and fall down on him again once he'd been hit so violently by Haneul's father.

Maybe that's why it had been such a shock for him to see the kpop idol in the room, instead of Jungwon. He stared at Heeseung for a few seconds, as the atmosphere in the room become eerily silent.

He glanced at the first aid kit box in Heeseung's arms and reached the conclusion that Heeseung felt guilty for punching him and was here to make up for it.

"Come with me." Heeseung's authorative voice suddenly spoke out, making Sunoo's stomach churn weirdly.

The teacher didn't know what to say since he didn't trust the other one bit, but then again this wasn't his house and he couldn't just stay standing there forever.

So, he nodded lightly and followed the taller male as they both walked out of the room. Sunoo looked around the place, making sure he wasn't being led to certain death. He was completely trained in Hapkido, but it had been around 4 years since he actually last fought with someone.

They stopped outside where Heeseung led Sunoo to a large well-designed garden area where there were two long sunbeds next to each other. Heeseung turned and looked at Sunoo expectantly, making the pink haired male raise an eyebrow.

Heeseung's intimidating look make Sunoo quickly move to sit on one of the sunbeds, not wanting to know what would happen if he upset the other.

From what he had learned in the past few hours was that Heeseung was the leader of this kpop group and that he was by far, the scariest. Jungwon was the only civil one with him and Sunoo hadn't interacted enough with Jay to reach a verdict. He didn't want to, anyways.

The green haired mafia boss sat down and placed the kit next to him, opening it and pulling out some antiseptic. Sunoo watched with curious eyes, wondering if he should tell Heeseung that he could do it himself, but when Heeseung stared at him he immediately shot down the idea and sat still.

The older male turned to Sunoo and suddenly grabbed his jaw, making Sunoo gasp in shock. Heeseung brought his face close to the boy, bringing up the antiseptic cotton ball to the teacher's lips.

Sunoo hissed slightly from the stinging pain but his mind was too preoccupied with the gorgeous man in front of him. Fuck, don't blush you idiot. Sunoo thought to himself as he tried to stop himself from screaming at how close they were.

Heeseung seemed to notice this and internally smirked to himself, finding Sunoo's reactions to be absolutely adorable. He finished cleaning Sunoo's lip and brought up some balm on his thumb.

He slowly pat the balm onto Sunoo's cut and stared at the male's pink lips, as he swiped his thumb along the bottom lip. Sunoo felt his heart beat faster and he glanced away, feeling Heeseung's thumb against his lip driving him crazy.

The green haired male pulled away, closing the box and reaching into this pocket to grab something, while Sunoo fanned his face to stop himself from heating up.

"Here." Heeseung said and Sunoo turned to see him holding his phone.

Sunoo's eyes widened since he thought that Heeseung had lost his phone completely, but here it was in perfect condition.

"Thank you?" He said as he grabbed his phone, unsure of whether the other deserved a thank you or not.

Heeseung smiled slightly at this, finding Sunoo's personality to be cuter and cuter the more he spoke to him. The mafia boss sighed as he looked away.

"You know Haneul has social anxiety." Heeseung stated, making Sunoo look at him. The teacher hummed and Heeseung nodded.

"Haneul has never spoken to anyone other than me and my two friends. It a while for Haneul to open up to them, so I'm surprised he opened up to you." He said.

He turned back to Sunoo and looked the pink haired male in the eyes, finding everything about the teacher to be absolutely pretty.

"I trust you, Sunoo. And that's not an easy thing to do." Heeseung said and Sunoo looked at him with wide eyes, not really knowing how to reply.

Should he thank Heeseung? Or should he ask Heeseung how punching him equivilated to trusting him? He honestly didn't know what to say since he didn't trust the other back, and he didn't want to know what would happen to him if he told him that.

"I-uh..."

"Because I trust you, I have a favour to ask you." Heeseung spoke up again.

"I want you to be Haneul's carer. Outside of kindy hours. I'll pay you and we'll provide accommodation and food for you, if you take care of Haneul and help him open up more." Heeseung said and Sunoo furrowed his eyebrows.

"So, like a babysitter?" Sunoo asked and immediately shut his mouth, wanting to slap himself for letting his tongue slip.

But Heeseung just smirked at him, titling his head as he looked at the pretty male. "If that's what you want to call it." He said.

"We can negotiate payment and how long you'd be willing to work, considering the fact that you also have your job at the kindergarten. So, what do you say?" Heeseung asked. Sunoo blinked his eyes a few times, all of the information washing over his brain.

Haneul's carer? Heeseung trusted him? He didn't know why the man who had kidnapped him and punched him was suddenly saying he trusted Sunoo and wanted him to look after his son. But Sunoo did understand where Heeseung was coming from, because he knew how hard it must be for the older to take care of Haneul and his career at the same time.

Not to mention the fact that Sunoo was nearly broke and desperately needed some money or he'd be living in the streets, because choosing between staying at Jaeyun's place or Sunghoon's place wasn't an option.

"I'll...think about it. I have to talk to my friends about this first." Sunoo said politely and Heeseung scoffed. Sunoo frowned at this and looked at the male sceptically.

"You look like you have something to say, Heeseung hyung." He said and raised an eyebrow.

The mafia boss turned to stare at Sunoo for a few more seconds, making the male flush slightly from how intensely the other was looking at him. Heeseung moved closer to Sunoo and stared the male directly in the eyes.

"Sunoo." He started and Sunoo gulped.

"Yes?" Sunoo asked.

Heeseung grabbed Sunoo's hand in his own, suddenly pulling the teacher closer to his body. Sunoo yelped at the action and he placed his palm against Heeseung's chest to create some distance between them. It was silent between them until Heeseung finally spoke.

"Do you like men?" Heeseung asked. Sunoo's eyes widened and his mouth fell agape as he spluttered, trying to give a reply but he was speechless.

"WHAT?" Sunoo screeched as his cheeks turned a dark red from embarrassment.

Heeseung smirked as he saw how flustered Sunoo became, making his heart beat a little bit faster. "Thought so." He said as he pulled away, not before giving Sunoo a mischievous smirk.

Sunoo felt like he could breathe again when Heeseung moved away as he let out the breath, he didn't know he had been holding. The pink haired male was flabbergasted, but he couldn't even say anything because he knew Heeseung was right. But still, the sudden question was so intrusive, Sunoo was too stunned to give a reply.

"Well, what about you?" Sunoo asked, seemingly feeling the need to one up Heeseung. If the older could ask him such a personal question, then he had full right to as well, right?

However, instead of being offended, Heeseung smirked again, looking at the pink haired male up and down. Sunoo kept surprising him with his adorableness, Heeseung could just eat him up.

Heeseung brought his face closer to Sunoo, the other losing his previous confidence and widening his eyes again as he moved back a little. The back of the chair made contact with his head, but Heeseung kept coming closer and closer with that stupidly sexy smirk on his lips.

Heeseung's eyes glanced between Sunoo's lips and eyes, making the pink haired teacher flush as he knew what was about to happen. He held his breath as he could now feel Heeseung's breath against his face and he was about to say something, when suddenly a loud thud was heard from behind the bushes.

"What was that?" Sunoo asked and turned his head with furrowed brows, while Heeseung moved away, groaning to himself in anger as he inhaled deeply, trying to calm down.

"It was probably a squirrel. Let's head back inside." Heeseung said, holding a hand out for Sunoo to grab. Sunoo didn't question it and stood up.

The pink haired male felt his face heat up as he grabbed Heeseung's hand, not missing the haughty grin that appeared on Heeseung's face. The mafia boss held onto Sunoo's hand quite tightly until they both went inside.

Meanwhile, the squirrel in question, was the lovey-dovey couple who had been spying on Heeseung and Sunoo from behind the bushes, until Jay tripped over a rock making Jungwon fall with him.

"Hyung, we almost got caught!" Jungwon whined as he wacked Jay's shoulder.

Jay rolled his eyes, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend. "Baby, it's fine. Heeseung deserves it anyway, after he locked you up." He assured Jungwon while swaying the boy back and forth.

Jungwon furrowed his eyebrows, but let his boyfriend sway him, finding it oddly calming. "Did you see that, Jeongie? Heeseung was about to kiss Sunoo hyung!" Jungwon exclaimed.

Jay nodded his head, feeling equally as confused. "Heeseung has never kissed anyone before. He doesn't even kiss his hook-ups, he said. It's like, his number 1 rule."

Jungwon turned to his boyfriend with a sudden mischievous smirk on his face. "You know what this means, hyung?" He asked and giggled to himself.

"That Heeseung hasn't even had his first kiss?"

"NO!" Jungwon huffed and grabbed Jay's jaw with his hand, bringing his boyfriend's lips close to his own.

"This means, our Heeseungie hyung has a crush on someone." Jungwon whispered, but Jay just furrowed his eyebrows.

"Huh? Who?" He asked in confusion.

Jungwon rolled his eyes with a groan, but didn't say anything, only sighing as he placed a peck on Jay's lips. "Why is my boyfriend such an idiot?" He mumbled and Jay wrapped his arms around Jungwon once again, pulling the boy close to him and in a back hug.

"Because you couldn't handle being with someone as smart as you, Wonie." Jay grinned, making Jungwon roll his eyes but smile nonetheless.

"I love you so much." Jungwon said with a bright smile. Jay snuggled his face into Jungwon's neck, making the other laugh giddily.

"I love you more, darling."

----------------------

"I wonder why Sunoo decided to prank call us at midnight." Sunghoon thought out loud as he rested his head on his elbow.

Jaeyun walked into the room and sat down at the edge of the bed. "First of all, he called me, not you. And second, that is weird though, he'd usually be watching a drama at this time." The blonde male said.

"Also, why are you here again?" Jaeyun raised an eyebrow at his silver haired friend, who just shrugged and snuggled into the bedsheets, not even bothering to leave any space for Jaeyun.

"Get out of my bed, asshole. The only other man allowed in here is my Sunoo, not you." Jaeyun growled and snatched the covers from Sunghoon as he slipped onto the bed as well.

"Shut up and hold me." Sunghoon snapped, still very tired from the lack of sleep.

Jaeyun didn't say anything, instead sighing and wrapping his arms around the drowsy Sunghoon, finding himself too exhausted to argue back. Sunghoon smiled when he felt the arms around him, and he snuggled his head further onto Jaeyun's chest, momentarily forgetting about their rivalry.

And that's how the night ended, with Heeseung and Sunoo becoming closer than Sunoo would have imagined after such a ridiculous day, and Jaeyun and Sunghoon sleeping with each other.

"I hate you."

"Love, I said I was sorry!" Jaeyun begged as he grabbed Sunoo's hand in how own, trying to pull the younger towards himself, but the pink haired teacher just pushed him away roughly.

"Fuck you! And you too, Sunghoon-ssi." Sunoo growled as he glared at the silver haired boy who was dramatically sobbing at his desk.

"Babe! Please don't bring out the honorifics on me!" Sunghoon wailed mournfully, making Sunoo roll his eyes.

"Who the fuck would lie about getting kidnapped by kpop idols? At midnight? Are you two fucking with me?" Sunoo cursed both the males making them sheepishly look away.

"Hey, look on the bright side!" Jaeyun cheered, making Sunoo look at him with a raised eyebrow.

"And that is?" He asked, but Jaeyun opened his mouth before closing it again, avoiding the pink haired male's gaze. "So, there isn't a very clear bright side..."

"I'm going home." Sunoo announced as he stood up from the teacher's lounge sofa.

It was now the morning of the next day, after a night Sunoo thinks he won't forget for the rest of his life. He had somehow fallen asleep on that rickety bed that he was provided with, after Jungwon came in with a pillow and some sheets, awkwardly avoiding contact with Heeseung who looked like he would murder the younger any moment.

Sunoo woke up to a loud scream from downstairs, but him being his lazy self, he didn't bother to get up and check, instead snuggling into the sheets which he had forgotten weren't his in his bedroom, but rather those of a mafia boss who somehow agreed to shelter him in his home.

Sunoo felt another presence in the room in the early hours of the morning, a dark figure looming right next to him on the bed and close to his face, but he presumed it was his sleep paralysis demon trying to murder him so he also ignored it and fell back asleep, only to wake up to Jungwon shaking him softly.

The younger called him down for breakfast which Sunoo immediately declined, remembering how they had kidnapped and assaulted him before, so it was likely they would poison him as well for finding out about the kpop star's secret child.

He declined the offer to be driven back home, saying that he would catch the bus to the kindergarten. He picked up his phone to see hundreds of messages from Jaeyun and Sunghoon saying that he was extremely late to his work and he was stressed, knowing he had to show up for his class or else the children would be left unsupervised.

When Sunoo asked about Haneul, Jungwon had replied that Heeseung himself had gone off to drop Haneul to school a few hours before with Jay. The pink haired teacher sighed, giving in and letting Jungwon drive him to the kindergarten who happily complied.

The car ride had been silent, but Jungwon was looking back at Sunoo through the rear-view mirror the entire time, as did Jaebeom who had been driving them to the kindergarten. They were both in awe at the pretty pink haired teacher, sharing a look of agreement as they both thought of a certain someone who had taken a liking to this teacher.

Sunoo rushed out of the car as soon as they reached, bowing to them quickly before storming into the building. Thankfully it was break time, so he knew he was going to find his two idiot friends in the staff room.

And that lead to Sunoo deciding to go home. "Sunoo-ah, please. I'm really sorry! I'll buy you mint choc-" Jaeyun said making Sunoo halt.

The red-haired male held up a finger as he pretended to stop himself from gagging before he continued. "Mint chocolate ice-cream." He finished, panting as if he had just downed the horrible tasting ice-cream itself.

"I'll buy you two mint chocolates! I'll even promise not to slander mint cho- actually wait, I'll promise not to slander your taste for mint chocolate." Sunghoon added as he walked up to them, making Sunoo roll his eyes.

"You two take me out for ice-cream on the weekend, and I'll think about forgiving you." Sunoo mumbled and the other boys cheered as if they had won a Rugby match.

"Besides, I have bigger problems to worry about." Sunoo huffed as he looked out the window, a small smile appearing on his lips as he saw the adorable little boy sitting in the sandbox. That smile was wiped off his face and replaced with a faint blush when he remembered the adorable little boy's father.

Sunoo held a massive grudge in his heart against the pretty man for hitting him so violently over a misunderstanding from his side, but Sunoo still couldn't deny that he found the other extremely attractive. Who could blame him? Heeseung was a kpop idol, so of course he had to be pretty, and Sunoo was sex-deprived for years, so it was the perfect blend of horniness.

"Is this bigger problem the fact that you got kidnapped?" Sunghoon asked as he placed a hand on Sunoo's shoulder.

"It's not just that, hyung. He offered me a job." Sunoo muttered.

"ACCEPT IT!" Jaeyun suddenly shouted, making Sunoo and Sunghoon flinch from the sudden sound.

"Hyung, you don't even know what it is." Sunoo scoffed, but Jaeyun shook his head.

"Sunoo, babe, I love you and can't stand the thought of you being with another man, but I don't care if he wants you to be his make-up artist or his sex slave. Accept the fucking job, right now!" Jaeyun said, making Sunoo's eyes go wide in offence.

"Hyung, wha- Sunghoon hyung, please fuck some sense into Jake's dumb ass." Sunoo grumbled, but the silver haired boy shook his head, tilting it to the side as he agreed with Jake.

"Sorry, Love, But I gotta agree with him. It doesn't matter what the job is. Money is money, and with kpop idols, you know you get a fuck ton of money." Sunghoon nodded to himself, and Jaeyun high-fived him as if he said the most genius thing in existence.

"Why are we friends again?" Sunoo rolled his eyes, scowling at the two males for their stupid suggestion.

But in all honesty, it wasn't completely stupid. He was dumb broke, and he was in desperate need of money. A few weeks ago, he received a few months' notice that he was either to pay up his remaining bills for his apartment or he'd be evicted from the place, and Sunoo was so stressed.

And on top of his debt, he also needed to pay for his older sister's medical bills. She was critically injured after a motorcycle crash and she was now undergoing surgery, but Sunoo couldn't continue to pay for the other's surgery without becoming homeless. His homophobic parents weren't going to support him and his sister any time soon, so it was up to him to provide for both of them.

Of course, Jaeyun and Sunghoon would love to take him into their homes, but as much as Sunoo loved them, he absolutely despised the thought of being dependent on someone else. He hated the feeling of being in debt to someone and having to owe them something. So, he was struggling for money, and the pay at the kindergarten wasn't enough to cover his entire living expenses.

"I'm heading home. I'm too tired for this." Sunoo announced, calling Tzuyu and telling her that he was heading home since he was feeling unwell, to which the pretty woman agreed since he had been looking quite pale since he had arrived.

Jaeyun and Sunghoon waved goodbye to their friend, heading back outside to play with some of the little kids in Sunoo's class. Haneul run up to Jaeyun, tugging on his pants as he asked them where the pretty cotton candy man had gone. They told the little boy that Sunoo had gone home, sending the boy into a loud wail of tears as he stomped his foot on the ground angrily, saying that he wanted his 'Ddeonu'.

By the time it was home time, Jaeyun and Sunghoon froze on the spot as they saw two men with a black mask on their faces who had come to pick up Haneul. They glared at Sunghoon and Jaeyun, as if they knew them and held a grudge against them. They looked over Sunghoon's shoulder, eyes darting around the kindergarten.

"Are you looking for someone, sir?" Sunghoon asked, only to meekly look away when he felt the taller male's glare on his face.

He didn't say anything, only staring threateningly at the pair who gulped and awkwardly waved bye to Haneul who also glared at them, exactly like the older two men did.

----------------------

Sunoo sighed as he stepped off the bus, trudging his exhausted body up the stairs towards his shabby apartment. He cringed at the loud screaming coming from the room down the hall, making him feel pity for whoever was on the other end of it.

His apartment wasn't all that bad, and in all honesty, Sunoo loved his apartment since he felt like it was just right for him. Other than the fact that he had to trash the pretty peach coloured sofa for another one, because every time he sat on it; he would remember his ex-cheating on him.

He pulled out his keys from his bag, his hand shaking as he felt another presence around him. he looked up, to the left and right, but shrugged when he saw no-one, believing it was the ghost feeling of being followed by Jake hyung and Sunghoon hyung.

Sunoo yawned as he stepped into the apartment, locking the door behind him as he entered the dark room, heading to the kitchen to grab some pills for his throbbing headache. He walked in, turning on the light as he poured himself a glass of water and swallowed two pills.

He gulped the water quickly and he turned around to head back into the living room, when he suddenly flinched violently, his eyes going wide as his heart stopped in his chest. He opened his mouth to scream, but a terrified gasp came out instead, his entire body freezing from shock.

"I didn't expect you to come home so early, darling." Heeseung's mischievous eyes winked at the pink haired boy from his comfortable spot on the sofa.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Sunoo shrieked loudly, picking up the closest thing, which happened to be a bread knife, and holding it up as a weapon.

"Woah, careful there, love. I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself." Heeseung faked an expression of fear, holding his hands up in surrender. He laughed loudly when Sunoo didn't say anything, rather continuing to glare at the older.

"W-Why are you here?" Sunoo cursed himself for stuttering as he saw Heeseung's large frame stand up and come closer to him. The green haired boy kept walking towards Sunoo, locking his eyes with the adorable male who kept walking back unconsciously.

Sunoo stopped walking, holding his ground as if to show that he wasn't going to back down in front of the other, so he held the knife in front of his chest, making Heeseung stop for a few seconds.

He looked into Sunoo's eyes, trying to find any source of malice or murder, but he saw none. The only murderous intent he found was his own reflection in those two hazel brown galaxies which trembled as they looked up at him.

"Beautiful." Heeseung whispered to himself and he continued walking towards Sunoo. His chest suddenly hit the tip of the knife softly, making Sunoo gasp and immediately pulled the knife away from him, which made Heeseung tilt his head with a look of confusion.

"Stay away." Sunoo huffed, but the knife was still held to his side, away from Heeseung. The mafia boss stared down at the pretty male, his amusement growing by the second, seeing the pure fear in Sunoo's eyes when the knife had barely grazed his skin.

"I was waiting for you." Heeseung mumbled and he watched as Sunoo's eyes darted from Heeseung's face to the knife in his hand as he trembled.

"How did you get in?" Sunoo asked accusingly, making Heeseung pout.

"Don't be so uptight, pet. I just wanted to see you." The green haired male huffed, wanting to reach out and hold Sunoo but the other just glared at him.

"Look, I know you're a celebrity or whatever, but you can't just break into my apartment. Leave now, or I'm going to call the police." Sunoo threatened, but Heeseung just chuckled at the angry male.

"You can call the police if you want too, but I'm afraid you're the one that would be put behind bars for trespassing, not me." Heeseung whispered to the younger who furrowed his eyebrows.

"What do you mean? This is my apartment." Sunoo cautiously said.

"Baby, when was your eviction date if you failed to pay rent?" Heeseung asked and Sunoo frowned, trying to remember when the date was before his eyes widened with new fear when he realised.

"You- How did you know-"

"Found this under your door." Heeseung smiled as he showed Sunoo a flyer. The pink haired male snatched it from Heeseung's hand, reading through it with wide eyes, to see that today was his last night in the apartment.

"But the last time I checked the date it said I had a week?! How could this happen?" Sunoo whispered to himself, feeling his eyes well up with tears.

Heeseung suddenly panicked, not knowing what to do if Sunoo started crying. The mafia boss had been the one to change the date of the eviction so that his plan to lure Sunoo would work.

You see, Heeseung wasn't too familiar with the concept of being 'considerate', and when he saw Sunoo at his place yesterday, he wanted to continue seeing Sunoo in his home. He had gone into Sunoo's room while the younger was sleeping and he watched how peaceful the beautiful male looked. Heeseung played with his hair gently before he could feel the younger male stirring and he left before he was caught.

After dropping Haneul off to kindergarten, Heeseung had sped his way to Kei's place and asked the male to find out every single detail about Kim Sunoo, to which he miraculously found pink haired male's home address and even his debt situation.

Heeseung had contacted the owner of Sunoo's apartment and as soon as the owner heard his name, he cowered in fear and immediately agreed to sell the entire building to Heeseung who gladly bought it.

Haneul had been ecstatic at the idea of Sunoo living with them, immediately begging his father to let Sunoo come and live with them. It was also for the fact that Heeseung seriously did need someone to look after Haneul and after seeing how much his son trusted Sunoo and opened up, he had to get him.

Sunoo no longer had any more debt and he was an official resident, but Heeseung wanted Sunoo to come and live with him. So, what Sunoo didn't know, wasn't going to hurt him.

"No, no, no!" Sunoo muttered anxiously, walking back into the kitchen and looking into the draw to find billing receipts. He rummaged through them, hands shaking as he couldn't find the insurance one he was searching for.

"Fuck!" He cried, his eyes now glossy as tears threatened to fall.

"What am I gonna do?" Sunoo muttered to himself, holding his face in his hands as he brought it down to the counter, curling into himself out of fear. It seemed that he had completely forgotten about Heeseung because honestly, at that moment, being homeless seemed like a much bigger problem.

Should I ask the hyungs for money? Sunoo thought, but immediately shook his head. He wasn't going to rely on them for money, he had made that promise to himself. But then again, he desperately needed to pay for his sister's surgery and so far, he had only payed off a third of the money.

"Pretty, look at me." Sunoo jumped at the voice next to him, making him look up to the male next to him with furrowed brows.

"You're still here?" Sunoo grumbled but knew that he himself couldn't speak since this wasn't his property anymore.

"Did you my job offer from yesterday?" Heeseung asked, grabbing Sunoo's chin in his hand and lifting up the distraught male's face.

Sunoo thought about it for a second, his eyes widening in realisation about the offer. "I know you love taking care of Haneul, and if you come and care for him personally, I can give you a place to stay and food to eat while you get paid." Heeseung tempted Sunoo, looking at the boy's beautiful long eyelashes.

Sunoo honestly considered it, but he was still sceptical. Heeseung said that it was because he was the only Haneul could open up to and because he specialised in children, but it still didn't make sense that Heeseung would give him so much for so little.

"Heeseung hyung." Sunoo said, making the other look at him with his signature pearly grin.

"Yes, Sunoo-ah?" Heeseung asked.

"If I work for you and live at your place, I want to be able to pay you back for all the money you spend on me." Sunoo announced, making Heeseung raise an eyebrow.

"Pay me back?"

"I don't want to be in debt to anyone. Especially not someone like you." Sunoo frowned.

"Someone like me, huh?" Heeseung chuckled when he saw how serious the fox-looking boy seemed.

He knew that even if Sunoo wanted to, he'd never be able to pay back Heeseung for all the money he spent on him. Heeseung had bought the entire building first of all, which was almost 100 times Sunoo's monthly rent which he was already struggling to pay. But the mafia boss decided to humour the pretty boy, not wanting to lose him so quickly.

"Okay then, fine. You can pay me back for everything, but for that you'll have to start working." Heeseung stated making Sunoo huff.

"So, I'm guessing you'll be moving over tomorrow morning?" Heeseung asked, rubbing his thumb against Sunoo's skin. The pink haired male found the action comforting, but he ignored the way his heart beat weirdly in his chest.

"Wait- what about my work?" Sunoo asked as he suddenly remembered. He couldn't just keep calling in sick leave and he couldn't just not show up either.

Heeseung smiled brightly at the question already knowing that answer, since he had also called the kindergarten a few minutes after Sunoo had left, asking them to fire Sunoo. The lady that picked up the call was shocked and wanted to argue but as soon as she heard his name, she also cowered in fear and did as told.

"Well, I guess you can sign for a maternity leave." Heeseung shrugged nonchalantly, letting go of Sunoo's face and patting his soft hair instead.

"Why would I need to take a maternity leave? I'm not pregnant." Sunoo huffed out in confusion.

"Oh? Well, I can make that happen if you want, pretty." Heeseung smirked as he brought his face closer to Sunoo who turned the darkest shade of red from shock at the other's bluntness.

"WHAT?!" Sunoo screeched and pushed himself away, blushing furiously.

Heeseung just snickered at his response, finding every single reaction of the other to be so adorable. Although he wasn't completely lying- With money and power, and today's technology he could possibly find a way to get Sunoo knocked up with his kid, if the younger was up for the idea.

"I'll see you tomorrow, pet." Heeseung winked at the teacher, grabbing the other's hand and placing a kiss on his knuckles. Sunoo shuddered at how cold Heeseung's hands felt against his own, but weirdly, he didn't hate the feeling.

The pink haired boy watched as the other turned and left his apartment, not before looking at him dazedly for a few seconds before he was gone.

The sound of Sunoo's door closing echoed loudly, bouncing off the walls of the teacher's now empty apartment, in which he stood frozen in the middle of with his face in his hands. He grumbled as he tried to cool down his face, fanning his skin to get rid of the red colour that kissed his skin every time he was around the older male.

He really needed to get his body to cooperate with him- blushing and being horny at the worst of times always led to trouble.

"Tomorrow I'm going to live with Haneul and Heeseung hyung." Sunoo mumbled to himself, finding his heart beating a lot faster than usual. He smiled to himself at the thought, but then immediately dropped his smile, shaking his head for being so excited when he remembered that he had literally been kicked out of his apartment.

"I'm also homeless." He sighed.

Chapter Text

Sunoo didn't expect to be jumped first thing in the morning, but as soon as he stepped through the doors to the teacher's staff room, his two friends had pushed him down to the floor with their eyes wide and eyebrows furrowed in concern and anger.

"KIM SUNOO, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?" Jake screeched as he shook Sunoo's shoulders for dramatic effect.

"What are you talking about?" The pink haired male winced. He rubbed the back of his head, only to groan in pain when Sunghoon wacked his head again.

"THE FACT THAT YOU GOT SOMEONE PREGNANT? WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU FUCKING BEHIND MY BACK?" Sunghoon yelled in rage, making Sunoo furrow his eyebrows.

"Wha-"

"WAIT- DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S PREGNANT?!" Jake said and looked at Sunghoon as both of them gasped and moved off of Sunoo, helping him stand up and rubbing his stomach in concern.

"Why the fuck would I be pregnant?" Sunoo snapped and slapped their hands away.

"SUNOO-AH, HOW COULD YOU LET SOMEONE ELSE GET YOU PREGNANT? HOW COULD YOU THROW AWAY OUR FUTURE TOGETHER, JUST LIKE THAT?" Jake cried dramatically.

Sunoo's jaw hung open in disbelief and he had the urge to punch the red-haired male. "ARE YOU DUMB?" Sunghoon yelled at Jake, making the two boys look at him.

"YOU'RE MORE UPSET ABOUT YOUR FUTURE, RATHER THAN WHO ACTUALLY GOT OUR SUNOO PREGNANT? IT COULD'VE BEEN A MAFIA BOSS, FOR FUCKS SAKES!" Sunghoon shouted and Jake gasped in realisation, turning to Sunoo with an accusing look.

"Who did you fuck, Sunoo-ah?" Jake asked seriously with a glare on his face.

Sunoo had enough of them. "I'M NOT FUCKING ANYONE! AND I'M NOT PREGNANT, THAT'S PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE, DIPSHITS!" Sunoo yelled at them and they stared at each other in confusion.

"Then why did you take a maternity leave?" They asked him and now it was Sunoo's turn to be confused.

"I didn't take a-" Sunoo paused as he suddenly remembered the conversation he had with a certain green haired male from yesterday. He looked away in disbelief as an angry blush appeared on his face and he was somewhat shocked at the fact that Heeseung wasn't joking about the maternity leave.

"If no-one's pregnant, then why are you taking a maternity leave? For a whole year as well?" Sunghoon asked.

"Do you guys remember the job offer from the kpop idol that abducted me?" Sunoo said.

"DID YOU TAKE IT?" Jake asked excitedly, earning a glare from the pink haired male.

"Hyung, do you even know what the job is?" Sunoo raised an eyebrow.

"Does it matter?" Jake shrugged making Sunoo roll his eyes.

"He wants me to take care of his son. The little boy, Lee Haneul. that's in my class." Sunoo explained.

"I don't see why you need to take a maternity leave for that." Sunghoon stated and Jake agreed.

"He wants me to be his son's personal caretaker. It seems shady, but I need money and he genuinely seems to want someone to help his son, so I accepted the job. I just didn't know he was serious about the maternity leave." Sunoo mumbled the last part, completely unknown to the fact that he had been fired from the job he loved so dearly.

"Does he pay well?" Jake asked, earning a wack on his arm from Sunghoon.

"It's a genuine question." Jake snarled at the silver haired male who rolled his eyes.

"I mean, he'll be paying me more than I get here." Sunoo explained. However he didn't tell that he had been evicted from his apartment and since Heeseung had guaranteed him a place to stay, along with food and water, he didn't really have much of a choice but to accept.

He knew that if he told them, they would've immediately hauled of his belongings to their places and paid off all of his bills, but Sunoo didn't want that. He was going to be making an honest living working for Heeseung since he'd actually be helping a child in need, so he honestly couldn't be more grateful for the job offer.

"I'm leaving today, I guess." Sunoo frowned.

"You gonna come tell the kids, or make a run for it?" Jake asked. Sunoo was about to reply when he heard the door opening from behind him, making the three males turned around. Sunoo felt his heart stop as he eyes widened in surprise at the familiar smirk that he had seen much of in the past few hours.

"Miss me, darling?" Heeseung smirked while eyeing the younger up and down, finding Sunoo's white sweater and his pink hair complimenting his apparence adorably.

The pink haired male stood frozen in place and mentally cursed himself for always losing his calm around the tall handsome male. Sunoo eyed him suspiciously but didn't say anything, instead walking towards Heeseung and looking at him questionably.

"Why are you here?" Sunoo asked.

Heeseung eyed the male and brought his hand forward to pat down some fluffy strands of Sunoo's hair. "I'm here to pick you up, pretty." Heeseung said with an excited glint in his eyes.

"Wait, you're the one who gave Sunoo the job?" Jake spoke up, his playful demeanour completely gone as he was now glaring at Heeseung to make sure he wasn't shady in any way.

"What's it to you?" Heeseung glared back, his expression instantly changing.

"Excuse me?" Jake was ready to fight when he was stopped by Sunoo glaring at him.

"Jake hyung." The younger snapped, not wanting to upset Heeseung in a way that would threaten his chance of getting this job. It was this or he'd end up on the streets, so he couldn't risk losing it.

"Come on, Haneul is waiting for you." Heeseung whispered to Sunoo as he came up behind the younger. Sunoo looked at Heeseung for a few seconds and then looked back at his two hyungs to see them ready to tackle Heeseung to the ground at any second.

"Now? But what about my stuff?" Sunoo frowned.

"You won't need any of it, darling." Heeseung smiled softly, but Sunoo just furrowed his eyebrows.

"But I need my stuff?" He stated matter of factly. Heeseung frowned at this, not understanding why Sunoo needed his old stuff since he could easily replace it all for the younger and buy him more stuff on top of that.

However, Heeseung didn't miss the way Sunoo interacted with the other two males and he didn't want to do something that would make them more upset and convince Sunoo to decline the job.

"Fine then, I'll send these two to go pick up your stuff later today. Let's go." Heeseung said reluctantly and waved to the two males behind him to start the car. Heeseung took a step forward and grabbed Sunoo's hand in his own, making the younger widen his eyes in shock.

"Let's go." He commanded and turned to take Sunoo with him when he was stopped by the silver haired male.

"You can't just take him from us." Sunghoon argued and reached forward to grab Sunoo's other hand in his own.

"Sunghoon hyung." Sunoo gritted out and grabbed the older's hand. "He's the kpop idol I was talking about." He whispered to the older who stopped moving and eyed Heeseung up and down.

The older did the same, eyeing Sunghoon and Sunoo's hands with furrowed eyebrows. "Fine then." Sunghoon muttered and let go of Sunoo. Heeseung immediately pulled Sunoo towards himself, not letting the pink haired teacher even speak as he took them both out to the car.

----------------------

Sunoo finally felt like he could breathe when he stepped out of the car and he looked around, taking in his surroundings. The car ride was completely silent and awkward, especially since Sunoo could feel Heeseung's stare on him the entire time, but he was too intimidated to say anything.

Heeseung had been watching the younger and walked closely behind the him as they were led to the entrance by the driver. He still didn't completely trust Sunoo, but that didn't stop him from marvelling at how beautiful the younger was.

When Heeseung had abducted Sunoo, he had lied and told the younger that his house was Jay's and it would seem far too suspicious to take the younger back there and tell him that it was actually his. So here they were at Jay and Jungwon's shared house, which his henchmen had fixed into a child friendly (normal person friendly) household.

Sunoo's eyes were wide at the beautiful home that he was going to be staying in and in all honesty, he preferred this place over his own house any day. He was led to the living room where a large smile appeared on his face at the sight of the small child who he had been waiting to meet sitting in front of the tv.

"DDEONU!" Haneul's excited voice screamed loudly at the sight of his pink haired best friend. He ran up to Sunoo, who picked him up and hugged him tightly.

"Hi, Hanhan!" Sunoo giggled along with the younger boy who wrapped his small arms around his neck. Heeseung watched their interaction with fond eyes, feeling a sense of relief at how comfortable his son was around Sunoo.

"Why are you here, Ddeonu?" Haneul asked while tilting his head to the side, making Sunoo cooe at him. "I'm here to live with you, Han-ah." Sunoo smiled brightly at the way the little boy's face lit up with joy.

"REALLY?!" He squealed and Sunoo nodded happily. Haneul looked up at his father to see if Sunoo as telling the truth, and at the nodding smile on Heeseung's face, Haneul jumped up and down happily.

"YAY, DDEONU IS GOING TO LIVE WITH ME AND HEESEUNG APPA!" Haneul cheered

"Han-ah, should we show Sunoo around the place?" Heeseung smiled brightly, momentarily shocking Sunoo since it felt hearing his name from the older.

"Ddeonu, let's go!" Haneul cheered and pulled Sunoo along by his hand. The pink haired male laughed at the younger's eagerness and he followed along, with Heeseung chuckling with amusement behind them.

----------------------

The house tour ended up being a problem for Heeseung. It seems like Jungwon and Jay hadn't cleared the house properly and they had still left all of their weaponary laying around. Sunoo had just barely noticed the shotgun on the side-table and the bloodied clothes in the sink.

They were now in the kitchen as Haneul was dead set on showing the pretty teacher around his new home and Heeseung paled at the number of knives laying on the kitchent table. He needed to hide away his mafia business from Sunoo for as long as possible or he knew the kind-hearted male would be leaving the next second.

He was too late in reaching it, as Haneul and Sunoo had beat him too it and Sunoo was eyeing the knives suspiciously.

"You have a really nice collection of...knives?" Sunoo said and looked at Heeseung who seemed to be frozen at the mention of the knives.

"It's...for my job." Heeseung slowly said and Sunoo nodded his head in understanding, realising that they were probably props used for his idol concept.

Haneul pulled Sunoo into the kitchen and opened the fridge, giving his teacher a very eloquent and detailed explanation of the food in the fridge which made Sunoo laugh happily.

Heeseung too smiled at them but then his eyes caught onto the packets of white powder in the very top compartment of the fridge, making his eyes go wide. His eyes darted between Haneul and Sunoo, knowing that they were going to reach the top shelf soon, making him panic.

Without thinking he stepped up behind Sunoo and leaned his arm against the fridge as he placed his chin on Sunoo's shoulder. The teacher froze up immediately and snapped his head towards Heeseung, making eye contact with the older who stared at him innocently as if he hadn't done anything wrong.

"You-"

"How about we go look outside?" Heeseung suggested and Sunoo stared at him in disbelief.

"YEAH, LET'S GO OUTSIDE!" Haneul yelled and ran away from the two males. Heeseung then looked at Sunoo, eyeing the younger's face intensely which made him agree and cough nervously. Heeseung pulled back with a small smile on his lips as he watched Sunoo scurry away hurriedly.

As soon as the two were out of sight, Heeseung quickly grabbed the packet of drugs from the table and slid it into his jacket. Jay and Jungwon were on thin ice at this point. He had ordered for the entire house to be completely cleaned and safe, but it seemed like the two horny lovers just didn't understand the meaning of safe.

Haneul then ran around the backyard, momentarily forgetting about showing Sunoo the house. Heeseung stood behind Sunoo on the veranda as they watched the tiny boy run to his heart's delight, laughing and talking to himself.

Sunoo turned around and saw the older frozen in place, making him narrow his eyes suspiciously, but he chose not to comment on it and continued to listen to Haneul's adorable rambling.

The mafia boss gazed at the pretty smile on Sunoo's face and traced the pretty whisker dimples of his cheek with his eyes. Sunoo was so, so pretty, Heeseung could stare at him all day long.

Sunoo felt someone's stare on him, so he turned around again and jumped slightly when he saw Heeseung standing right behind him. Sunoo raised an eyebrow at him, to which the older tilted his head innocently. He was immediately reminded of the little Lee, making him chuckle at how similar Haneul and Heeseung were.

"How's the place so far?" Heeseung asked. The pink haired teacher smiled genuinely this time, almost bowing if Heeseung wasn't standing so close.

"It's a great place. Thank you for letting me stay, Heeseung hyung." Sunoo bashfully said as his heart beat faster in his chest from the soft gaze Heeseung had on him. The green haired male's heart was also beating rapidly in his chest and he felt relieved in Sunoo's presence.

It was something about the younger that made Heeseung's heart go wild and he craved the feeling so much. Now Sunoo was here, with him and his son, and he wasn't ever going to let Sunoo go.

Heeseung started to move in closer to Sunoo making the younger gasp when he felt Heeseung's hand on his head again, running his fingers through the soft pink strands of hair. "This is your home now as well, pretty." Heeseung whispered and Sunoo almost mewled at how softly Heeseung spoke to him.

"Ddeonu! Ddeonu!" Haneul suddenly shouted, grabbing their attention and making them jump away from each other in shock.

"What's wrong, baby?" Sunoo asked panickly and the younger held his arms out asking for the pink haired male to lift him up, to which Sunoo happily complied.

"I'm hungry, let's go eat!" Haneul commanded, making Sunoo laugh at the similar tone that Heeseung spoke with.

"Let's go!~" Sunoo cheered and looked at Heeseung expectantly. Heeseung seemed to have frozen once again, seeing Sunoo and Haneul being so adorable together made him feel giddy.

"Appa!" Haneul whined. "Let's go, I wanna eat." Haneul huffed and pouted cutely. Heeseung walked up to them and ran a hand through Haneul's hair softly, just as he had done to Sunoo which made the pink haired teacher blush deeply.

"Who said you could be this cute?" Heeseung asked and started tickling Haneul, making him giggle loudly in Sunoo's arms.

Sunoo found himself smiling at the interaction as well, also feeling slightly jealous at how close they were with each other. The last time Sunoo had even smiled with his parents was his middle school graduation, right before his boyfriend revealed their relationship to them and he had been kicked out to live with his older sister.

But what was in the past remains in the past and he didn't need to worry about people who wouldn't give a second thought to him if he was in trouble. Sunoo snapped out of his thoughts when he saw both the Lee boys looking at him expectantly, making him smile nervously. "Sorry, what was that?" Sunoo sheepishly asked.

"Let's get something to eat, darling." Heeseung smirked at the younger, running his tongue over his lips in thought.

"Always with the pet names." Sunoo huffed with a pout, trying to ignore how fast his heart was beating and he prayed Haneul wouldn't point it out either. Heeseung laughed loudly and started to walk back into the house while a grumbling Sunoo and smiley Haneul followed.

Heeseung disappeared into the kitchen again while Sunoo took Haneul to the living room and sat down on the sofa with the younger boy sitting on his lap. "Ddeonu." Haneul said and the older male tilted his head questioningly. The young boy stared into Sunoo's eyes seriously, making him panic for a second thinking that he had upset Haneul in some way.

"Ddeonu, since you're going to live with us...." Haneul started off.

"Yes, bub?" Sunoo carefully asked.

"Will you marry Appa?"

Chapter Text

Awkward. There was no better way to describe the situation.

Sunoo stared at the little boy who looked up at him with his curious eyes gleaming with hope. Marry Heeseung? What was going through Haneul's head?

"Ah- no...sorry, bub, but I'm not going to marry your father." Came Sunoo's nervous reply followed by an equally awkward laugh.

But this didn't stop Haneul from narrowing his eyes at the older, almost analysing him as if he didn't believe Sunoo. "Why?" Came the question that made Sunoo gulp.

The pink haired teacher was thankful that Heeseung was far away in the kitchen or else it would've been even more awkward. He was called here to take care of this child yet here he was being interrogated by him.

Although he couldn't blame the younger boy, Haneul was not wrong to think like that, especially since he had grown so fond of Sunoo. But then again, Sunoo couldn't help but feel jittery at the question since he wasn't the closest of friends with Heeseung either.

In fact, the relationship they had at the moment was of an employer and employee. Sure Sunoo called Heeseung 'hyung', and maybe there was a bit of sexual tension between them, but that was about as friendly as they got.

"Because I'm too young to get married, Haneul-ah." Was Sunoo's answer, as he deemed it the safest option of escape. It's not that he didn't like Heeseung at all, but he didn't want to give Haneul the wrong impression by accidentally insulting Heeseung as a defence.

"But don't you like appa?" Haneul asked and Sunoo was flabbergasted for a second, the question hitting him like a punch to the stomach.

Did he like Heeseung? Sunoo's first encounter with Heeseung hadn't been the best one, and if Sunoo didn't desperately need money and a place to stay, he would've definitely filed a complaint to the police for abduction and assault.

But that didn't stop his physical attraction to Heeseung.

The tall, green haired male was undeniably attractive, and his voice did wonders to Sunoo's heart. His pretty eyes and his sexy smirk that always resided on his lips had Sunoo feeling some type of way, but he blamed it on his lack of sexual interaction in the past few years.

"I...I guess." Sunoo said, hoping that Haneul would drop the subject and luckily, he did as Heeseung walked back into the room and brought some fruit on a plate and placed it on the table.

"Here, you probably haven't eaten yet." Heeseung grinned while looking at Sunoo who smiled thankfully.

Sunoo reached down and picked one of the apple slices, bringing it up to Haneul's face. "Say 'ah'~" The pink haired male smiled as Haneul did just as he asked, nibbling on the apple slice happily.

Heeseung watched the two with fond eyes, feeling happy at the fact that Sunoo decided to give food to Haneul before himself. He made eye contact with the younger who tilted his head questioningly.

Sunoo couldn't tell why Heeseung was staring at him so intently, but he felt nervous for some reason, so he decided to grab another apple slice and he held it out for Heeseung. The mafia boss looked at the fruit in Sunoo's hand and then looked back at him with an amused smirk on his face.

Heeseung leant forward and opened his mouth to eat the apple slice, but he startled Sunoo who retracted his hand immediately, thinking that Heeseung was going to eat it himself.

Haneul, who had been eating some strawberries on his own happily, looked between the two men and felt the weird tension between the two of them. So he turned to Sunoo and yanked on his sweater gently, grabbing the older's attention.

"Ddeonu." Haneul said with a cheeky smile.

"Yes, Haneul-ah?" Sunoo asked again, hoping that it wasn't going to be one of those invasive questions again.

"You should feed appa as well." Haneul giggled evilly and Sunoo's eyes widened in surprise.

The pink haired male looked up at Heeseung who was looking at his son with a prideful glint in his eyes, making Sunoo blush slightly. He lifted the apple slice again and their eyes locked onto each other, neither of them looking away.

Heeseung smirked as he ate the fruit from Sunoo's hand, never once breaking eye contact with the other. He loved seeing how flustered Sunoo became and he loved the way Sunoo's cheeks would turn a pretty red colour whenever he was embarrassed.

----------------------

"This is your room, Ddeonu!" Haneul giggled happily as he jumped onto the bed. Sunoo looked around the room and was filled with relief at the fact that the room was an actual room and that it had furniture in it.

It was a very pretty room, with a king-sized bed in the middle with clean sheets fitted in neatly. The room itself was a very modern looking and clean room, so Sunoo couldn't be more thankful.

"Where's your room, bub?" Sunoo asked Haneul and the younger grabbed his hand to show him to the room which was right next to Sunoo's. The teacher walked into the room to see another king-sized bed in the centre of the room against the wall, but he frowned as he realised that this was the only room left in the house.

He turned to the green haired male who was staring at him intently, and he tilted his head in confusion. "Where is your room, hyung?" Sunoo asked and Heeseung tilted his head as well.

"This is my room." He said and Sunoo frowned again.

"What?" He turned and looked at Haneul.

"You share the same room with appa?" Sunoo asked Haneul, missing the way Heeseung's face lit up at the way he called him Haneul's 'appa'.

"Yeah. I always sleep with appa." Haneul replied, not finding anything wrong but Sunoo immediately found a huge problem with this and he looked at Heeseung accusingly.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" He asked and Heeseung shrugged at him.

"Aren't we talking now, darling?" He teasingly said, but after seeing the way Sunoo frowned, he sighed and turned to his son.

"Han-ah, go play downstairs for a bit." He told the younger boy who happily complied and ran out of the room.

Once the two were alone, Sunoo felt chills down his spine from the way Heeseung was staring at him. He tried to ignore how nervous he was feeling, because this was necessary for him to say.

"What did you want to talk about?" Heeseung asked gently, noticing how jittery Sunoo looked.

The pink haired male inhaled sharply and looked into Heeseung's eyes, wanting to give his clear and honest opinion. "Heeseung hyung, I think Haneul should have his own room." He said.

The mafia boss raised an eyebrow because despite this act that they were putting on in front of Sunoo, back in their home Haneul would always share the same bed with him, regardless of where they were.

"Why?" Heeseung asked in the same accusing tone that Haneul had spoken to Sunoo in.

"I don't mean to offend you at all hyung, so please don't take this the wrong way, but Haneul is too dependent on you." Sunoo chose his words carefully, not wanting to upset Heeseung.

Since Sunoo had met Haneul, he heard nonstop about Heeseung from the younger. Moreover, the teacher had learnt that Haneul was dependent on Heeseung on so many things. Whether it be tying shoelaces, or having someone take him to the bathroom, or even having someone with him while he was drawing.

This wouldn't be a problem since every child is like this, but it was for Haneul because of how scarily obsessive he was over the person he was close too. He needed everything to be done by this person and he didn't want anyone else to interact with him.

The pink haired male wasn't sure about Haneul's mother and the situation between them, but he could assume that Haneul was mostly raised by Heeseung and he was extremely close to his father.

There wasn't anything wrong with that, but the fact that Heeseung was a single parent made Haneul even more dependent on him, and Heeseung not letting Haneul out of his sight made Haneul have this fear of separation from his father.

And this was a big problem.

"Of course he's going to be dependent on me, I'm his only parent." Heeseung said, not understanding the problem.

"But he's too dependent on you, hyung. He's too scared to talk to anyone else because he's only ever been surrounded by you." Sunoo sighed. He really hoped he wouldn't have to fight with Heeseung over this, especially since he was trying to do his job by taking care of Haneul and helping him overcome his social anxiety.

"Sunoo." Heeseung said seriously, making Sunoo freeze since Heeseung used his name.

"Are you trying to tell me how to take care of my own kid?" Heeseung growled, suddenly feeling extremely upset. No-one told Heeseung what to do. Not today, not ever. Yes, he favoured Sunoo, but having the younger boy tell him how to take care of Haneul wasn't going to happen.

"I wouldn't be here if you did." Sunoo snapped back, surprising the both of them. He hadn't meant to snap at the older, especially since he knew he didn't have the right too, but he couldn't stand the way Heeseung spoke to him.

"I'm sorry, hyung, but my job is to take care of Haneul, isn't it? I've been taking care of so many children over the years, so trust me, I know what I'm doing." Sunoo said. Heeseung glared at Sunoo but didn't say anything.

His gaze terrified Sunoo because of how intimidating his entire aura was, but the pink haired male also stood his ground because he needed to say this for Haneul.

"Haneul needs space to learn and grow on his own. If he's constantly surrounded by you and have everything done by you, he never going to talk to anyone else and know how to live without you." Sunoo continued.

Heeseung said nothing and stared at the younger with a glare, trying to process his words. This was a first. In all his years that he had lived, no-one had ever dared to speak to him like this. Sure, he let Jay and Jungwon off the hook from time to time, but other than that everyone get their mouths shut and listened to him no matter what he said.

So hearing a pretty pink haired teacher tell him what to do pissed him off. He felt infuriated at the idea of being told what to do and he hated seeming inferior to someone else. But he couldn't help but consider that maybe Sunoo was right.

Yes, he had mostly called Sunoo over because he was infatuated by him, but he also genuinely saw how Haneul adored Sunoo and believed the young teacher could help his son overcome his fears and anxiety.

He looked into Sunoo's eyes and tried to find any sort of malice in those pretty hazel eyes, because all he needed was the slightest hint of danger and he would've made sure that no-one saw Sunoo ever again.

But he only saw genuine concern and love in the pink haired male's eyes, and he felt something within him telling him to trust Sunoo with this. So he decided to follow along for now and let the younger do as he wished.

"Fine." Heeseung uttered and a huge relieved smile appeared on Sunoo's face.

"Thank you for understanding, hyung." Sunoo said softly and Heeseung sighed, not being able to continue being upset at the younger.

There was a weird tension between the two after the 'argument' they had because Sunoo could tell Heeseung wasn't someone who took orders from others that well. He did feel a bit bad about basically calling Heeseung a 'bad parent' but he wasn't exactly wrong.

Although he was a bit suspicious as to why Heeseung agreed to let Haneul have his own room so quickly, he shrugged it off and went back to his room.

----------------------

Sunoo spent most of the day inside his room trying to set his things after the men that were with Heeseung (most likely his company staff or bodyguards) came in and dropped off boxes of his items.

It was around 10pm and Sunoo needed to get some sleep since he had plans to take Haneul out early in the morning. He assumed Heeseung was putting Haneul to sleep in the other room, so he climbed into his bed and messaged his friend about his first day at Heeseung's place.

A knock on the door startled him and he sat up abruptly and stared wide-eyed at the figure leaning against his doorframe.

"Hey, darling." Heeseung winked with his signature smirk.

"Hyung? Why are you here?" Sunoo asked with his voice cracking a bit. He cleared his throat as his cheeks turned red in a nervous blush, making Heeseung chuckle at him.

"I'm here to sleep with you." He said seriously, making Sunoo momentarily choke.

"WHAT?" Sunoo shrieked, completely taken aback because dear lord, had Heeseung also been feeling horny for him? But the innocent smile on Heeseung's face made him realise that the older wasn't talking about sex but rather actually sleeping.

"Not to be rude hyung, but why can't you sleep in the other room?" Sunoo asked meekly.

"Because Haneul's in that room." Heeseung replied.

"No, I mean the other room in the house?" Sunoo said again.

"There is no other room, darling, this is a two-bedroom house." Heeseung grinned widely. The pink haired male was taken aback for a second as he realised there were no other rooms in the house tour. He also now realised why Heeseung had agreed so quickly.

"Hyung-" Sunoo started but was cut off by the other walking over to the other side of the bed and sliding in next to him.

"What? Weren't you the one that said Haneul needed his own room?" Heeseung blinked at him innocently, making Sunoo scoff.

He now realised why Heeseung had agreed so quickly.

"Do you really have to sleep in the same bed though?" Sunoo asked, not holding back anymore. Sure he was very attracted to Heeseung but sleeping in a bed with him already was too fast for him.

"I can't sleep on the floor now, can I? My body needs to be in good shape for my performance." Heeseung smirked in return.

Sunoo looked at him for a few seconds and narrowed his eyes to which the older chuckled in amusement, finding everything that Sunoo did to be absolutely adorable.

"If it makes you feel better, I'll get a makeshift bed soon, so you just have to bear with me for a few more nights." Heeseung smiled cheekily, because he was never going to get another bed.

"If you say so." Sunoo muttered and turned around so that he wouldn't face the older. He would've drop kicked Heeseung if he were anyone else and if he wasn't too tired to argue with the older.

He still hadn't forgotten the punch that left his with a bad headache for a week, so he was most likely going to strangle Heeseung when he woke up anyways. He decided to be civil for now and wished the older goodnight while closing his eyes.

"Goodnight, hyung." He mumbled as he felt sleep take over his body. Heeseung propped his head onto his elbow as he watched the younger with a fond smile on his lips as his heart beat rapidly in his chest.

"Goodnight, pretty."

Sunoo frowned as he turned around in bed, trying to stretch his tired limbs. He had a pout of his lips as he felt himself grumble at waking up so early. He got out of bed and noticed that it was still dark outside, making him groan.

He looked over to his side and was momentarily surprised to see Heeseung's green hair tussled over his peacefully sleeping face. The teacher felt his face heat up slightly as he stared at the older male, debating whether he should listen to his head and leave quietly, or listen to his heart and play with Heeseung's fluffy hair.

He decided to listen to his head for once and got out of the bed quietly, heading towards the kitchen to grab a glass of water. As he was heading back into his room, he suddenly heard soft sobs coming from the room across his and a frown appeared on his lips.

The pink haired male walked up to the door and pressed his ear against it gently, frowning even more when he recognised the soft cries.

"Han-ah?" He gently called as he opened the door and spotted a small lump under the blanket in the middle of the bed. Sunoo walked up to the boy and slowly lifted the blanket, immediately feeling a pang in his heart when he saw tears all over the little boy's face.

"Haneul, it's me Sunoo." He said softly but was taken aback when Haneul abruptly jumped onto him and clutched onto him tightly.

He rubbed circles on the child's back wondering why he was still awake this late. "Why are you crying, bub?" He asked quietly and Haneul pulled away from him, sniffling while rubbing his eyes with his fists.

"I'm alone. It's so scary." He said before he burst out crying again.

"Oh, baby." Sunoo says, feeling slightly guilty because he had been the one to keep Heeseung away from Haneul after the little boy had been by his father's side all his life.

"I want daddy!" Haneul pouted with tears rolling down his face. Sunoo wiped away the young boy's tears, surprised at the way Haneul called Heeseung. The teacher gnawed on his lip, wondering what he should do.

He wanted to stick to his plan of teaching Haneul how to thrive without Heeseung, and if he gave up this quickly Haneul would learn that Sunoo was always going to give in and he didn't want the younger to think like that. But then again, he knew that Haneul needed to sleep and it was his first night away from his father.

"Ddeonu, I want daddy." Haneul repeated and he yanked on Sunoo's shirt softly while crying.

"But daddy is sleeping now, bub." Sunoo explained gently as he ran his fingers through the younger's hair lovingly, trying to calm him down. He didn't want to wake Heeseung up and tell him to go to his son, especially not after the argument they had.

"Ddeonu." Haneul pouted and Sunoo chuckled at how adorable the baby looked, when he suddenly got an idea in his head.

"Haneul, do you want me to sleep here with you?" He asked and the younger immediately brightened up, nodding his head furiously.

"Okay, move over." Sunoo said cheekily and Haneul giggled while shuffling over on the bed to give the teacher some space. Sunoo snuggled into the covers with the younger, the two of them giggling at each other before Sunoo told him that he needed to sleep and bid him a goodnight sweetly by placing a peck on his forehead.

Sunoo brushed the younger's hair and watched him fall asleep, smiling to himself at how adorable the baby looked. Although Haneul was still really young, Sunoo could really see Heeseung through the boy - his doe eyes, his bright pearly smile, his attitude, and his stubbornness which Sunoo had recently found out about.

Haneul was a mini Heeseung in many ways, which explained why he adored the younger so much.

Soon after, Sunoo closed his eyes and fell asleep again, completely unaware of the mafia boss standing by the doorway with a soft loving smile on his lips.

Heeseung wasn't able to sleep at all, especially knowing that his son wasn't going to be able to sleep without him by his side.

So he was awake, ready to go into his baby's room is he needed to, but Sunoo had woken up and cautiously, Heeseung followed him. He had been following Sunoo ever since the younger left the room, wondering what the younger was going to do and when he overheard Sunoo and Haneul's conversation, he wanted to punch himself for assuming the teacher had bad intentions.

He had to admit, seeing the way Sunoo acted so domestic with Haneul already, and hearing the pink haired male call him 'daddy' as if he was his partner, made Heeseung's heart do flips in his chest. Gosh, everything both of his babies did was so adorable he couldn't take it.

Once Sunoo had fallen asleep, he walked into the room and kissed his son's head softly and whispered him a 'goodnight'. He turned to the man who he had fallen head over heels for, and softly touched the cotton candy tufts of Sunoo's hair.

"Goodnight, pretty." He whispered and leaned down, placing a soft peck on Sunoo's head just as he had done to his son, before he went back into the other room to sleep.

----------------------

Sunoo woke up again, this time thankfully at an appropriate time when he could see strands of sunlight peeking through the curtains. He was about to get up when he saw a tiny hand clutching onto his sleeve tightly, not letting him go for a second.

His heart almost exploded, and he cooed at the adorable child. He heartbreakingly had to (gently) push Haneul's hand away because it was still too early for the younger boy to wake up, considering he barely got any sleep last night.

He got out of bed and went to the bathroom, doing his morning routine before he headed towards the kitchen, going to cut up some fruit for himself and Haneul when he wakes up. But he abruptly stopped in his tracks when he saw the familiar wad of green hair sitting at the dining table with a cup of coffee in his hand.

Heeseung looked up when he felt the younger's presence and Sunoo had to stop himself from melting on the spot at the giant smile that appeared on Heeseung's face. "Morning, darling." Heeseung whispered as if he was sharing a secret even though they were the only two in the room.

"Morning, Heeseung hyung." Sunoo smiled sheepishly, feeling a bit shy from the attention Heeseung was giving him so early in the morning.

"I'm assuming you slept comfortably in my old room after you kicked me out?" Heeseung smiled and Sunoo was worried the older was upset.

"Hyung, I'm really sorry about that-" He started off but was cut off by Heeseung's chuckling at him.

"Don't worry, Sunoo-ah, I'm actually happy that you took care of Han-ah for me." the green haired male smiled fondly, making Sunoo's heart flutter.

"You want some coffee?" Heeseung asked and Sunoo nodded. "Yes, please, I need some." Sunoo happily sat down, hoping Heeseung would make him some but instead the older just pushed his own half-empty cup of coffee towards the younger.

Sunoo raised an eyebrow, unimpressed and Heeseung burst out laughing at the teacher's adorable expression. "I'm only messing with you." He smirked and Sunoo rolled his eyes.

"Hilarious." Sunoo sarcastically smiled, making Heeseung smirk even more.

"What can I say? You're too cute not to tease." He replied, ducking when Sunoo reached out to whack him.

The two soon fell into a comfortable silence, with Sunoo grabbing a knife and one of the apples on the table to cut it into slices as well as trying to ignore the intense gaze Heeseung had on him.

Suddenly, the ringing of Heeseung's phone snapped the older out of his trance and Sunoo was honestly thankful because any second longer and he would've melted. Sunoo noticed the way Heeseung frowned when he saw the contact name, but he still looked at the pink haired teacher with a smile as he stood up.

"I'll be right back, lovely. Don't miss me too much." Heeseung whispered and winked at him before he left the room.

Sunoo scoffed to himself and ignored the way his face started heating up at the comments as he continued to cut some apple slices for himself.

He was overly immersed in his own thoughts that he didn't realise when another figure was looming over him curiously, wondering what he was doing.

"That knife looks pretty blunt to me." An unknown voice said, making Sunoo jump immediately in shock. His eyes widened when he saw a tall man, much taller than Heeseung standing behind him with his hands in his pockets.

Sunoo didn't say anything, opting to stare into the other's eyes and try and figure out what the intention of the man was. He had a black turtleneck on, paired with ripped jeans a lot of silver jewellery on his body.

The pink haired boy also noticed how the man seemed to recognise him, not too confused over his identity, which made him more concerned.

"Who are you?" Sunoo asked quietly, still unsure whether he should call Heeseung or not because there was an unidentified man in their house. The knife was clutched tightly in Sunoo's fist under the counter, ready to defend himself if the other tried anything funny.

The tall male smirked, tilting his head slightly as he stared the younger up and down, honestly making Sunoo uncomfortable.

"I'm Heeseung's friend, sweetheart." The male smiled, revealing pearly whites under his lips. Sunoo was still unsure of the other so he kept silent since he didn't tell him his name, so he tried thought of a way to escape the situation.

"Never knew he would take an interest in you, Sunoo-ah." He spoke up again, making the younger snap his head towards him in shock.

"Don't look so shocked, I've heard a lot about you." The man smiled. The pink haired male narrowed his eyes at the older, remaining silent.

"I'm surprised you don't mind the fact that he's an internationally wanted criminal" He chuckled making Sunoo furrow his eyebrows.

"Internationally wanted criminal?" Sunoo asked slowly.

"I mean, I guess the Lee clan are wanted more nationally than internationally, but the point still stands. Guess serial killers must be your type." The man teased with a grin on his face, but Sunoo's heart dropped in his chest.

"Wha-" He barely processed what the stranger had just said when Heeseung hurriedly entered the room, glaring at the older male.

"Hyung, what are you doing here?" Heeseung asked, seemingly very nervous which was way out of character for him.

The pink haired male stared at Heeseung with wide eyes as if he had just seen ghost. Serial killer? Now Sunoo may be a little slow at times, but he wasn't completely stupid, and he knew the older would not have joked about something like that.

"Just saying hi to Sunoo. You never told me he was this adorable?" The man cooed at Sunoo, but the pink haired male was too out of it to even reply.

Heeseung frowned at the older male's words and instinctively walked towards Sunoo. "That doesn't answer why you're here." The mafia boss opted as a reply while looking at the frozen younger male.

Sunoo side eyed Heeseung as he was suddenly overly wary of every move of the older. Serial Killer, internationally wanted criminal, Lee clan- Lee clan? Sunoo frowned and tried to remember where he had heard the Lee clan before because it was so familiar to him.

"Chill, Hee. I was here to visit Haneul cause I missed the cutie, although I see you've found another one." The man winked at Sunoo, making the younger flush slightly at the compliment.

Heeseung sighed and walked over to Sunoo, gently grabbing the confused male's hand and taking the knife from him, running his fingers over Sunoo's knuckles. "He's a friend, it's alright." Heeseung smiled gently and Sunoo felt a little bit relieved now that he heard it from the older.

Although he was still extremely suspicious of the other because of what the tall man had said. He needed to ask the turtlenecked stranger what he meant about Heeseung being a criminal. Sunoo didn't even know Heeseung well enough to say that the other was sprouting nonsense because in all honesty, the kpop idol did seem shady enough to be involved in illegal businesses.

If he even was a kpop idol at all. Sunoo mentally gasped at what he realised. He hadn't even done a quick internet search to see if Heeseung really was an idol. Sunghoon and Jake had always told him to google employers before he met them just to be sure they weren't shady, but Sunoo had been swayed by Heeseung's sexiness that he failed to release how suspicious the older was.

A tiny gasp was heard from the top of the stairs, causing Sunoo to snap out of his thoughts as the three men looked up. At the top of the stairs stood the tiny angel with a bright smile and eyes that sparkled with excitement. "APPA! DDEONU!" Haneul squealed happily as he ran down the stairs, and when he noticed a third adult in the room, he started shouting with joy and jumping up and down.

"GAY SAMCHON, YOU'RE HERE!"

Chapter Text

"Hanhan, it's 'Kei samchon', not 'gay samchon'." Heeseung corrected his son, but the younger ignored him and ran into Kei's arms, hugging the tall male.

"I mean, he's not wrong," Kei smirked at Heeseung who rolled his eyes.

The mafia boss smiled as he saw the interaction between the two males. Kei had been one of the first people he had introduced Haneul to, and the younger boy had taken an immediate liking to him. Kei had also been Heeseung's friend since childhood - one of the first people Heeseung had grown attached to and learnt to trust.

In fact, Kei was one of the only people who Heeseung would willingly listen to, because 1) Kei was in fact older than him, and although Heeseung was an asshole, he was a respectful asshole, and 2) because Kei was like one of those parents that were always right no matter what.

Heeseug hated to admit it, but he found himself adoring the older male for his involvement in his and Haneul's lives, but he would never say that out loud.

Especially not right now, when there was his curious pink-haired kindergarten teacher who would not stop side-eyeing him. He had come back just in time to see Kei talking to Sunoo, but judging from the younger male's reaction, he was certain Kei had said something to him.

He needed to know exactly what before there was any trouble. You see, although Kei was extremely trustworthy and reliable, he had horrible timing and Heeseung knew the older must have babbled something to Sunoo.

Heeseung moved closer to the pink-haired boy who was already looking at him curiously and he gave a very (out of character) sheepish smile. "Are you alright, darling?" Did Kei hyung say anything weird to you? He held back from asking.

Sunoo just nodded, pursing his lips because he suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable knowing that Heeseung was definitely hiding something from him. It's not that they were even close enough to know personal things about one another, but since Sunoo was living in Heeseung's house and there was obvious tension between them, he'd assumed that he could consider the other to be his friend at least.

Heeseung tightened his grip on Sunoo's hand at the awkward reaction, suddenly feeling the urge to kick Kei out of his house.

"Are you staying with us today, gay samchon?" Haneul asked curiously with wide eyes, making the older male chuckle.

"Yes, gay samchon is joining your appas today. I heard we have quite a big day planned, right?" Kei asked as he turned and faced Sunoo.

The pink-haired male would've replied, but he was too caught on the fact that Kei had referred to both him and Heeseung as his 'appas'. The pink-haired male felt his heart leap in his chest as he momentarily forgot about his suspicions of Heeseung.

Kei called me Haneul's appa - but it's true in a way, I am like his father figure now. Sunoo suddenly felt giddy and all his awkwardness had dissipated. A cough tore him away from his thoughts and he looked up to see all three boys staring at him with curious gazes.

"Sorry, what was that?" Sunoo asked and he flushed slightly when Kei sent a knowing smirk his way.

"What are the plans for today?" He repeated and Sunoo cleared his throat, remembering the huge plan that he had created before he had arrived here.

"Well, first of all, we're going shopping." He smiled brightly and Haneul cheered loudly in Kei's arms, while Heeseung sent Sunoo a weary look.

"I don't think we can take Haneul to the mall. Not with me and Kei hyung there, and not without us there either." Heeseung said with a slight frown.

He hadn't actually been sure if the pink-haired male had a proper plan to help Haneul overcome his social anxiety- all he had in mind was the fact that both he and his son liked Sunoo.

"Trust me, hyung. We'll be wearing masks anyway, so no one will recognise you. Also, it's extremely important that Haneul knows how to socialise in settings where he will have to buy things, so I think taking him shopping is the perfect place to start. Not to mention, I also need to buy some things since I'm going to be staying here." Sunoo whispered the last part, hoping Heeseung wouldn't catch on, but he did and sent Sunoo a warning look.

"I've told you already, I can buy everything for you." The green-haired male reassured and held onto Sunoo's hand gently, both of their hearts fluttering in their chests at the slight contact.

"But hyu-"

"LET'S GO SHOPPING!" Haneul suddenly yelled, interrupting Sunoo from disagreeing further.

"I agree with Han, let's go. You two can continue this in the car." Kei smiled and hoisted the little boy onto his shoulders, not before sending Heeseung a cheeky grin.

"You should go with them, I'll get my stuff and I'll be out in a bit." Heeseung softly said to the pink-haired male and let go of his hand (unfortunately) as he went back into one of the cupboards to grab his mask and his gun.

Sunoo followed the orders because he himself didn't feel comfortable enough leaving Haneul alone with Kei. He knew it was stupid of him to assume so, and that he was most likely overstepping here, but he just couldn't trust Haneul with anyone other than Heeseung, Jay, Jungwon and himself.

But he knew it was also because he didn't feel as comfortable being left alone with Heeseung. He knew for sure that the older had hidden something from him and the things Kei said about Heeseung being a serial killer genuinely terrified Sunoo because that wasn't something that should be said as casually as it was.

With a huff, he grabbed his phone to see three messages from Jake and Sunghoon making him smile.

Thing 1
SUNOO BABE
I MISS YOU
SUNGHOONS SUCH AN ASS PLEASE COME BACK

Thing 2
STFU YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S BEEN STAYING AT MY PLACE FOR THE PAST TWO NIGHTS
SUNOO DON'T LISTEN TO HIM

Thing 1
LIAR YOU KIDNAPPED ME

Thing 2
I DID NO SUCH THING

Thing 1
BITCHASS

The pink-haired male didn't even bother to reply to his two friends, instead just turning off his phone and heading out to the car where he saw Kei standing outside the front door with Haneul already seated inside on a baby seat.

Heeseung came out shortly after, noticing that Sunoo and Kei were still standing outside, making him raise an eyebrow. "Ready to go?" Heeseung smiled brightly at the two of them, and Kei sat in the front passenger seat but Sunoo kept standing and narrowed his eyes at the other.

"You go in first," Sunoo told Heeseung who mentally rolled his eyes playfully, opening the door to the driver's seat and sitting in, allowing Sunoo to sit in the seat next to Haneul.

"Ddeonu!" Haneul smiled brightly, showing his tiny baby teeth to Sunoo who cooed at the adorable child.

"You ready to go shopping?" Sunoo asked the baby, who clapped his hands excitedly.

"I can't wait!"

----------------------

Sunoo thought that Heeseung and Kei were probably going to attract some attention, but he was surprised at the fact that no one had approached them at all, not even sparing a glance their way. It confused him a little, even though Heeseung was wearing a mask, Kei wasn't, yet no one approached them.

It made his suspicions of Heeseung actually being a wanted criminal even stronger. The entire car ride he had been piecing together all the events that had happened and what he could've possibly missed about Heeseung.

What he didn't know, was that while Heeseung was practically unknown in the normal world, Kei was not. He was known all over for his notorious heinous acts and for always being able to prove himself innocent.

One nasty glare from him sent anyone who dared to approach the trio running away in fear. Sunoo remained oblivious to this fact and continued to walk along holding Haneul's right hand, while Heeseung held Haneul's left hand, with Kei following them closely behind.

As much as Sunoo didn't want to, he found himself thinking about how much he and Heeseung looked like they were a family with the son Haneul in between. But the pink-haired male immediately replaced those thoughts with concern for the little boy, because he needed to do what he came here to do, and that was to help Haneul overcome his fear.

He hadn't missed the way the younger had absolutely cowered into his father's side as soon as they stepped out of the car, and he had frowned, feeling his heart ache for the young boy. So that's why he grabbed one of Haneul's hands and playfully the boy along with him, trying to make him more comfortable.

"So what's the plan, Sunoo?" Kei chirped from behind, making Sunoo jump slightly in surprise. "I'm gonna take Haneul with me to go buy some clothes." The teacher replied calmly, making Heeseung frown.

"You mean..."

"Yeah, just me and Haneul. You and Heeseung hyung can both go shopping on your own, but Haneul needs to come with me if we're going to make this work." Sunoo whispered to them so the curious little boy wouldn't panic.

"I don't think it's a good idea to leave you two alone," Heeseung spoke up, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Hyung, please trust me on this," Sunoo said softly, and Heeseung's heart began to beat quicker again and he looked away, not wanting Sunoo to see him lose his strict father composure.

"I think we should let them. Besides, when is Haneul not stuck to you?" Kei insisted and Heeseung looked at him, knowing that if Kei wanted to leave Haneul in Sunoo's care, then he must've had a plan in mind.

"Alright, but both of you must be back at the cafeteria when I call," Heeseung said a bit sternly, but Sunoo nodded, understanding that Heeseung was concerned about leaving his son alone for the first time.

"I'll take care of him, hyung. Don't worry." The pink-haired male reassured him and Heeseung just sighed.

"I'm sure you will, darling, I'm just worried about Haneul," Heeseung whispered to the teacher who softened his gaze at Heeseung's concern for his son.

"I'll make sure nothing happens to him, hyung. You can trust me." Sunoo smiled brightly and Heeseung chuckled, ruffling Haneul's hair after giving his son a soft peck on his forehead.

"Han-ah, Appa and Kei samchon are gonna go do some shopping for big people stuff, so I'm gonna come buy some clothes with you. Is that alright, bub?" Sunoo asked the younger for permission, who looked up at Heeseung slightly scared.

Heeseung crouched down so that he was at eye level with his teary-eyed son and he held the little boy's hands gently. "I'll be with Kei samchon if you need me. But give it a try Han-ah, Sunoo will make sure you're safe and happy. He won't make you do something you don't want to." Heeseung reassured his son who seemed a bit more confident now knowing that his dad was okay with him going alone with Sunoo.

"Okay, Appa." Haneul gave his dad a small smile and he grabbed onto Sunoo's hand again.

"That's my boy!" Heeseung smiled brightly and tickled the child, making him giggle loudly.

"Bye appa, bye gay samchon!" Haneul waved to the other men who waved back with fond smiles on their lips.

"Let's go, Ddeonu!" Haneul cheered and Sunoo found himself smiling at the father and son once again, happy that they were both okay with his plan. He was determined to make this work.

----------------------

"So, Heeseung hyung tells me you really like buying different clothes?" Sunoo said to the little boy, making Haneul smile shyly.

"Daddy always buys me different clothes that he thinks looks good on me," Haneul said and Sunoo nodded, obviously noticing the branded clothing on the child's body.

It wasn't that he was jealous, but the fact that a 6-year-old child was richer than him was honestly really embarrassing to him. But he brushed away any negative or self-deprecating thoughts, reminding himself that Heeseung was rich and he had full right to spoil his son as much as he wanted.

"Does daddy always buy your clothes for you?" Sunoo asked endearingly, not minding referring to Heeseung the same way Haneul did. It made Haneul a lot more comfortable too because he felt that he could relate to Sunoo a lot closer if Sunoo understood him.

"Yeah. He's very rich!" Haneul innocently giggled and Sunoo let out a sigh, knowing that he could never relate.

"Well, since Heeseung always buys your clothes for you, why don't you buy your own?" The teacher asked the little one who was swinging their interlocked hands together.

"But I'm not rich like daddy." Haneul pouted in confusion and Sunoo stopped for a moment before he burst out laughing.

"Oh, love, I meant why don't you pick out your own clothes this time. You don't have to buy them yourself, your appa gave me money to buy things for you." Sunoo laughed and Haneul's eyes widened in realisation as he made an astonished 'o' shape with his mouth.

In the car ride there, after a small quarrel Heeseung had given Sunoo a black card to go buy clothes for Haneul and he insisted that Sunoo use it on himself too. The pink-haired male couldn't disagree after the warning glare Heeseung sent to him.

The two males arrived in front of a children's clothing store and walked in, Haneul sticking close to Sunoo when he noticed that there were a few other parents with their children in there.

"Don't worry, bub, Ddeonu is here for you." Sunoo cooed and Haneul nodded, trying to be brave for the pink-haired male that he liked so much.

"Okie." He whispered and followed Sunoo into the different aisles. The two males walked through the shop, grabbing onto different pieces of clothing. Sunoo would ask if Haneul liked the clothing or not and if he did, he would grab it for the younger.

The pink-haired teacher had been shocked to find that Haneul, contrary to his usual fashion sense, loved soft pastel colours and poofy and loose clothing. He had almost squealed out loud when he saw Haneul trying on a pastel blue puppy sweater, which had earned him a weird look from the mother standing next to him, but he didn't care because his- the little boy looked so cute.

Soon they made their way into the new clothing section and Sunoo was about to head to the cashier when Haneul suddenly stopped in place, making the older stop as well. He looked down to see the little boy looking up at something and he looked up as well to see the little boy staring at a frilly black skirt that was hung on the child's mannequin.

Haneul was looking at the item of clothing with such wide eyes and he quickly let go of Sunoo's hand to come forward and touch the skirt.

"Ddeonu, it's so pretty!" Haneul smiled, his eyes turning into little crescents. The teacher cooed at the boy and crouched down to his level, looking Haneul in the eyes.

"Do you want it, baby?" He asked softly but Haneul seemed really hesitant.

"Can I?" He asked in a small voice and Sunoo gave him a bright loving smile.

"Of course, you can!" He said.

"But daddy..." The little boy replied, and Sunoo's smile dropped from his face.

Did Heeseung not allow Haneul to wear skirts? Sunoo frowned and he felt himself becoming a bit angry.

Yes, he understood that some parents didn't want their children to wear certain items of clothing, but he had never expected Heeseung to push specific gender roles onto his son. Especially since Sunoo was sure Heeseung himself was a part of the LGBT+ community, and gender and self-expression were one of the core values that were promoted within the community.

How could Heeseung not allow his son to wear a certain piece of clothing? Sunoo wasn't sure if he was allowed to make such a decision if Heeseung was so against it but seeing the way Haneul's eyes lit up when he saw the skirt was enough for him to buy it for him.

"Do you want the skirt, bub?" Sunoo asked in all seriousness and he could see Haneul contemplating before nodding shyly.

This was all the confirmation he needed.

----------------------

Soon the two boys rejoined Kei and Heeseung who were having coffee in the cafeteria. Haneul went and jumped into Kei's arms and they both went off to grab some food, leaving Sunoo to show Heeseung all the things he bought.

"So, what did my two darlings buy?" He asked in a teasing voice with an equally teasing smirk that made Sunoo roll his eyes playfully.

He handed Heeseung the bags of clothing and let the male look through them all, seemingly approving of Sunoo's choices. Heeseung smiled as he looked through the items that Sunoo had bought for his son, but then he froze momentarily as he brought out a specific piece of clothing.

"What is this?" Heeseung asked with a frown as he held up the frilly black skirt. He looked up at Sunoo with confused eyes and the pink-haired male gulped slightly.

"I bought a skirt for Haneul," Sunoo said, trying not to let his voice crack.

"Why?" Heeseung asked and his eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Sunoo with a narrowed gaze.

"Because he wanted it," Sunoo replied and before Heeseung could say anything, he began to explain and defend Haneul, because he was going to make sure the little boy got the clothes that he wanted, regardless of what Heeseung thought.

"Look hyung, I know you might be against it, but Haneul begged me to buy a skirt and I got him one because he should be allowed to wear whatever he wants." Sunoo boldly said although he was practically shaking from how intimidating Heeseung's gaze was.

"You think I don't want my son in a skirt?" Heeseung asked a bit snarkily, feeling very offended that Sunoo had taken him to be the type of parent that pushes gender expectations on his child.

Sunoo on the other hand had been surprised that Heeseung reacted completely opposite to what he had imagined.

He had expected the older to get upset at him and make him return the skirt, which he was, in all honesty, ready to fight with Heeseung for it. He couldn't help but feel his heart leap in his chest at how open-minded Heeseung was towards this and the fact that he gave Haneul free will to express himself however he wanted.

"Oh, I- I'm sorry, I didn't mean that Heeseung hyung. Haneul just seemed really hesitant asking me, so I thought you must've not allowed him to wear a skirt." Sunoo explained and Heeseung dropped his guarded exterior, understanding what Sunoo was saying.

"No, don't apologise, I'm the one who should apologise for getting upset like that. It's just, that Haneul's never asked me for a skirt before so I never bought one for him. But I'll make sure to buy him whichever ones that he wants from now on." Heeseung smiled gently and Sunoo swore his heart was going to explode.

"Thank you, hyung." the younger replied with his signature eye smile and Heeseung felt giddy as he grabbed onto Sunoo's hand, leading them towards where Kei and Haneul were.

It was a successful day after all.

----------------------

All of them were seated back in the car with bright smiles on their faces, the pink-haired teacher having the brightest one after his plan went successfully.

"What's got you so smiley, darling?" Heeseung asked with a grin, making Sunoo blink his eyes in question.

"I'm just- thank you for letting us do this," Sunoo replied with a genuine smile on his lips that warmed Heeseung's heart.

The green-haired male chuckled and grabbed Sunoo's hand in his own, an action that he had become much more comfortable doing over the course of the past few hours. He ran his thumb over Sunoo's knuckles in a soothing manner and chuckled when he saw the younger blush a little.

"Sunoo-ah, you don't need to thank me for this. I would gladly do this for you and Haneul as many times as I need to." Heeseung sincerely promised and Sunoo swore his heart was about to explode.

He coughed awkwardly, not being able to compose himself under Heeseung's intense stare so he pulled his hand back and looked out the window, ignoring the snickers he heard from beside him.

"Yo, Hee, we're at your- at Won and Jay's place," Kei muttered as he stopped the car. Heeseung shot him a look that Sunoo couldn't quite understand but ignored it and decided to join Heeseung in the house.

"I'll come with you, I need to head to the washroom real quick," Sunoo said quickly. He really needed to wash his face, especially since he knew it was completely red by now.

Heeseung didn't think anything of it and just smiled, holding his hand out for the younger, who gladly took it. Kei just rolled his eyes at the two and turned his attention back to Haneul who was rambling to himself playfully.

Once Sunoo was out of the car, Heeseung found himself not wanting to let go of Sunoo's hand. He didn't know why, but he liked the feeling of holding Sunoo's hands in his own and he felt his heart jump when he knew Sunoo was close by his side, so he held on.

He certainly didn't miss the way Sunoo looked at their hands and then back at him curiously, so he smirked at the younger instead, pulling them towards the entrance of what was supposed to be his home. The two opened the door but they were immediately stunned when they witnessed the scene in front of them.

"HYUNG?" Jay yelled, causing all eyes to turn towards the green-haired mafia boss. Heeseung immediately became angry and his eyes darted between Jay, who was trying to pull a dagger out of his shoulder, and Jungwon, who was hiding behind his now broken table, trying to shoot at the intruders.

Heeseung immediately knew what was happening and he pulled Sunoo's hand harshly, bringing the younger closer to him and shielding him while rushing towards Jungwon.

"WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU?" Jungwon screamed while tossing a gun at Heeseung, seemingly not noticing Sunoo's presence. The pink-haired male gasped at how Heeseung caught the lethal weapon with ease and he felt his heart drop when he saw how serious Heeseung's face suddenly became.

Jungwon finally noticed his presence and he seemed momentarily surprised, but when another loud bang was heard, Heeseung quickly wrapped an arm around Sunoo's shoulder and pulled the both of them down.

Sunoo felt his heartbeat increase in fear. What was happening? His eyes screamed at the green-haired male, but Heeseung had his eyebrows furrowed in anger.

"Heeseung hyung, get Sunoo hyung out of here right now." Jungwon shouted at the older over the loud noise, and now Sunoo was beginning to panic.

Any other time and Heeseung would've argued and scowled at the younger for speaking to him this way, but he knew his number one priority was making sure Sunoo was safe, so nodded and turned, grabbing onto Sunoo's hand and dragging him to duck behind one of the counters.

"Stay here." Heeseung commanded, and Sunoo didn't need to be told twice. He watched nervously when Heeseung stood up and hard glare on his face as he raised the gun, running his tongue over his lips.

Everything suddenly fell over Sunoo like a tsunami, his realisation slapping him across the face- the guns, the secrecy, the kidnapping, the hiding away from the public- Heeseung was a mafia boss.

Heeseung was a goddamn, fucking mafia boss, and Sunoo had accepted his terms and conditions to taking care of Haneul without giving it a second thought all because he was too horny for Heeseung, too concerned for Haneul and too broke to think things through.

"Holy fucking shit." Sunoo whispered to himself as his heart hammered in his chest.

He was going to die.

Chapter Text

Heeseung cursed under his breath as he tried to count how many intruders were in the building, but his mind was foggy with thoughts of the younger male shaking on the floor next to him.

"Sunoo-ah." Heeseung rasped out as he knelt down and Sunoo immediately jumped, staring at the older with wide eyes. But the pink-haired male wasn't looking at him, no, he was staring right at the large rifle that was held tightly in Heeseung's grip.

Heeseung sighed, knowing how badly he had fucked up. He didn't want Sunoo to find out about his life this way, especially not when his life was in danger. But there was nothing he could do now, so he focused on more pressing matters.

He needed to get Sunoo out of there, without letting any of the intruders see him. It was fine if they spotted Heeseung, but he knew that if they spotted Sunoo, the young teacher's life would never be the same again.

"Sunoo-ah." He repeated and Sunoo snapped his eyes up to meet the mafia boss'.

"I know there's a lot going on, but I need you to listen to me so that we can all get out of this okay. Can you do that for me?" Heeseung asked gently, making Sunoo panic slightly at how calm he looked despite how frantic his eyes were.

"Darling," Heeseung whispered as he grabbed Sunoo's hand in his own, the younger jumping slightly at the contact.

"Trust me on this." He said.

Sunoo was struggling mentally and physically. Trust? Isn't that what he had been doing all this time? Only to learn that Heeseung wasn't who he thought he was and was 1000 times more dangerous than he had ever believed.

But right now, Sunoo couldn't see anything other than his own life in danger, and he was sure as hell that he didn't do anything wrong to die this way. So he decided to listen to his head this time and he nodded while tightening his grip on Heeseung's hand.

The green-haired male smiled gently at the teacher but immediately had a glare on his face when he heard another loud smash from where Jungwon was.

"Fuck." Heeseung cursed under his breath and Sunoo began to recite his prayers because despite the horrible situation that they were in, he found the low-breath cursing so unconventionally attractive.

"GET THE FUCK UP RIGHT NOW!" One of the men on the other side of the room screamed and Sunoo could feel his heart rate pick up in a panic. The man's voice wasn't as far as it was before and it was beginning to worry him.

"Jungwon, how many are there?" Heeseung whisper-shouted to the younger male.

"Three. Two here, and a third one attacked Jay. I don't know where that fucker went though." Jungwon grit his teeth and Heeseung's hold on Sunoo's hand tightened in anger.

Heeseung wanted to tell Sunoo to run to the door back to Haneul and Kei, but it was too risky with a third intruder's location unknown.

"Fuck, Haneul is still outside." Heeseung cursed and Sunoo couldn't help but feel a bit nervous knowing that Haneul was left in someone else's care, especially since he knew how Heeseung wouldn't trust anyone. But he ignored his fear and decided to focus on getting out alive for now.

If he died, then Haneul wouldn't have a caretaker anymore. None of his kids would ever see their cotton-candy haired teacher anymore.

If he died, then he'd never be able to smile at his two stupidly loveable hyungs, Jake and Sunghoon - in fact, Sunoo was sure they wouldn't talk to each other ever again, blaming themselves if anything happened to him.

If he died, he'd never be able to see his sister smile again, never be able to see her finally walking and taking him on her motorbike into the sunset.

If he died...he'd never be able to get a proper answer from Heeseung. And Sunoo was not going to die without getting a proper explanation for everything.

Besides, he was too hot to die.

"Darling, I'm going to get rid of these men and I need you to run out to Haneul and call Kei here," Heeseung whispered to the younger male who wanted to scream. He knew exactly what Heeseung meant by 'getting rid' of the shooters, but it didn't fail to make him panic.

Heeseung noticed this and threw an arm around the younger's shoulders and pulled Sunoo into his side. "It's okay, Sunoo. I won't let them hurt you," he assured the younger, and he wasn't lying.

Heeseung didn't care at what cost, but he wasn't going to let them harm a single hair on Sunoo's head. He usually would have never cared about having a civilian with him, but Sunoo meant so much to him - he wouldn't forgive himself if something happened to Sunoo.

"When I count to three, I want you to run out of the door. Okay, love?" He asked softly, trying to calm down the pink-haired male.

"Heeseung hyung-" Sunoo choked out, the first time he spoke since he had his whole world of illusion come crashing down on him.

"One!" Heeseung said as he shot the first intruder that was near him, hitting the man right in the shoulder and causing him to drop to the floor in pain.

Heeseung smirked as he looked over to the second man trying to strangle Jungwon. "Two!" He shouted as he shot the second man, hitting him right through the forehead. He grinned evilly as blood spilled right out of the wound, hitting the floor next to Jungwon.

"Thanks, hyung." Jungwon thanked and Sunoo had to stop himself from puking at the sight of the corpse on the floor.

But it wasn't over, and Heeseung scanned the area, searching for the last intruder. "Fuck, where's the third one?" He muttered under his breath as he tried to look around.

Sunoo's eyes suddenly widened when he saw a man holding a large dagger sneak up behind Heesueng and raise his arms above Heeseung's head.

"T-there!" Sunoo choked out, pointing towards the man who had snuck up behind Heeseung and Heeseung immediately turned around, tackling the man down.

"Three!" Heeseung yelled.

And that was when Sunoo ran out as fast as he could, not daring to look back in fear of seeing what he wished he would never have to see.

----------------------

"I KNOW YOU GET DEJA VUUUUU! MICHEOGA!" Haneul and Kei both yelled at the top of their lungs, the two of them singing and dancing along to the kpop music video that Kei had played on his phone to distract Haneul while the boy's father and Sunoo were gone.

They were both waiting in the car for a while and Haneul had started to become antsy, so a kpop music video by Haneul's favourite group was the best option Kei could think of.

Kei chuckled as Haneul began flailing his limbs around, trying to dance like the incredibly attractive male kpop idols on the screen. But his smile immediately dropped from his face when he saw the pink-haired male running to him in panic.

"HYUNG!" Sunoo shouted as Kei opened the door and stepped out to address the shaken younger.

"What's going on?" He asked in a low voice, so Haneul wouldn't also begin to panic.

"Heeseung hyung, he- he- go!" Sunoo shouted, not being able to get the words out, and Kei immediately understood, pushing the younger into the driver's seat, earning a confused look from Haneul.

"Ddeonu?" The small child asked and Sunoo tried his best attempt to give the younger a happy smile, trying to hide how incredibly terrified he was.

"Stay here and take care of Haneul. Don't let anything happen to him." Kei commanded seriously, and Sunoo didn't need to be told twice. With that, the older man threw to keys to Sunoo before slamming the door shut, the younger locking the doors with shaky hands.

Sunoo turned to look at Haneul, biting his lower lip as he hoped everything would be okay. He looked at the younger only to realise the boy was staring intently at a kpop boy group music video where they were all dancing in a desert dressed as pirates.

Haneul looked up at Sunoo and showed him a bright gummy smile. "Hi, Ddeonu! Look how pretty Wooyoung is!" Haneul said, and Sunoo let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding.

"Look, Ddeonu, look!" The younger shoved the phone into Sunoo's hands, who smiled gently at the child.

"Yes, he's very pretty, Han-ah."

----------------------

"This fucking cunt." Heeseung spat out blood as he stood up from the ground after throwing a hard punch at the man who he had tackled. But he wasn't safe yet, as the intruder got up with his gun in his hand.

"HEESEUNG HYUNG, BEHIND YOU!" Jungwon shouted and Heeseung raised his arm and try to slam his gun against the intruder's face, but they were faster kicking him and pressing a gun to his forehead.

"Die, Lee mafia scum." The man smirked for a second before pulling the trigger.

Bang

Jungwon and Jay both jumped and they looked at Heeseung with wide eyes, watching as the intruder fell to the floor, with their blood spilling out from their forehead.

Everyone froze in place as they tried to figure out where the gunshot came from, and they all snapped their heads towards the new presence standing at the doorway with a gun in their hand.

"Missed me?" Kei winked and Heeseung rolled his eyes while Jungwon sighed in relief, Jay smiling despite the throbbing pain in his shoulder. The green-haired mafia boss kicked the head of the dead man next to him, making sure he was dead before looking back up at Kei with a satisfied smirk.

"Are Han-ah and Sunoo safe?" Heeseung asked and Kei immediately nodded.

"Your beloveds are safe in the car." The older male said with a teasing smile.

But Heeseung was too worried to joke around. "Jungwon, can you handle the situation?" Heeseung asked the younger who looked around at the dead bodies and a dramatically crying Jay in his arms.

"On it." Jungwon rolled his eyes. Heeseung gave the couple a small smile, a reassuring smile that showed them that it was safe to say the real danger was gone now.

"Wonie pie, it hurts," Jay whined as he pointed to the dagger wedged in his shoulder painfully.

"Aww, want me to kiss it better?" Jungwon cooed at his boyfriend sarcastically and rolled his eyes when Jay nodded eagerly. He wished Heeseung would hurry with whatever he was doing because having to clean up three dead bodies and take care of a pouty boyfriend wasn't exactly the best situation.

"Up you get, hyung," Jungwon ordered as he lifted Jay up, the older resting his arm around Jungwon's waist to steady himself.

"I hope Sunoo hyung's okay" Jungwon mumbled, knowing how shocked and terrified the pink-haired teacher was at the newfound information.

"He'll be fine," Jay reassured, but Jungwon was still extremely worried.

He desperately hoped everything was okay on Heeseung's side.

Heeseung and Kei had run out of the house towards where the car had been parked outside, only to stop dead in their tracks when they were met with an empty driveway.

It was silent for a few seconds as the two males looked at the spot where the car was parked before, now completely empty with no car in sight.

"They're not here," Heeseung mumbled under his breath, his heart rate quickening in fear.

"No fucking shit." Kei laughed loudly earning a harsh glare from the mafia boss.

"Where could they have gone?" Heeseug said to himself, but Kei just had to answer for him.

"Probably away from you. I should've done that the moment I met you." Kei joked on, but it only made Heeseung freeze as his eyes went wide.

"They what?" Heeseung spat venomously.

Kei immediately picked up Heeseung's harsh tone and gulped. "Yo- I was kidding, Heeseung-ah. Sunoo probably drove off somewhere safe, because of how close they were to the house." He explained rationally.

"Where could he have gone? Check the coordinates." Heeseung ordered and Kei checked their location on his phone.

Heeseung gnawed on his bottom lip hoping that Sunoo and his son were safe. He was sure the younger male would've been tagged or had a tracking device placed on the car.

"FUCK-" Kei suddenly cursed loudly startling Heeseung.

"Kei hyung, where did they go?" The mafia boss asked slowly as he frowned. Kei chuckled nervously, trying to avoid the younger's terrifying gaze.

"Don't make me repeat myself, hyung." Heeseung growled and Kei shivered at the tone, looking away. He gulped, knowing there was no way out of this. Saying his prayers, he turned back to the mafia and answered with a waver in his voice.

"To the kindergarten."

Chapter Text

When Kei went inside the house to help Heeseung;

----------------------

Sunoo tried to calm down, he really did, especially since there was a small child whom he did not want to scare either because he knew it would just become a bigger problem. But after seeing your extremely attractive and mysterious employer shoot two men dead in front of your eyes, it is kind of difficult not to panic.

"Okay, everything will be fine," Sunoo whispered to himself, running a hand through his hair. "We're going to be okay." He whispered as he turned back from the driver's seat to see Haneul still dancing along happily to the same kpop boy group.

Maybe he should do the same, maybe it would take his mind away from the murders he witnessed if he talked to the young boy.

"S-so," Sunoo began shakily, clearing his throat. "You like the group Ateez?" He asked, telling himself that he was trying to distract Haneul when in actuality, he was trying to calm himself down more than anything.

Haneul looked up at Sunoo with a bright smile on his face. "Yeah! They're so sexy!" He beamed and Sunoo's eyes widened, not used to hearing such a word from the young child. "I don't think you should say that word, Han-ah." The teacher scolded slightly, making Haneul pout.

"But they are." He grumbled and Sunoo just shook his head with a smile, momentarily distracted from the deaths he had witnessed.

"Well, I can't disagree with that." Sunoo smiled softly at the young boy before he leaned back into his seat as he tried to relax, looking out the front window.

"You know, it's sort of peaceful now." He mumbled to himself as he felt himself begin to calm down. It was a calming silence, after all the screaming and gunshots his ears had been subject to in the past few minutes. His eyes caught onto the greenery that surrounded the house where all the chaos was happening, and he realised how aesthetically pleasing the ouside area of the house really was.

"Jay and Jungwon's house is really pretty, now that I think about it." He continued to speak to himself as he looked at the area outside the car. His heart rate was finally slowing down and the adrenaline wasn't overwhelming his sense anymore.

It baffled Sunoo how the young boy could be so calm in a situation like this. Was he not worried about where his father was? And why Kei had run off in a hurry? And why he had run in looking like he had run through a hurricance? But Sunoo chose to ignore these thoughts - thinking about not thinking about the chaos, was still thinking about.

"Yeah, it's a really pretty house!" Haneul chirped in from behind, looking away from the phone momentarily.

Sunoo hummed in response, beginning to list the different things he could see as a theraputic mechanism. "Well, there's you and me sitting inside the car, and outside the car there's trees." He began with a slow breath.

"There's a very pretty driveway, some cute garden gnomes along the side of the driveway." He said with a small smile on his lips, finding it comical how there were adorable garden gnomes along the driveway to a house that had so much violence going on inside.

"There's also a man with a gun!" Haneul giggled while pointing to the window beside Sunoo. The pink-haired male immediately whipped his head around with wide eyes and his jaw fell slack in shock.

The man raised the gun in his hand directly at Sunoo, his eyes glistening maliciously. The pink-haired male panicked and did the first thing he could think of.

"HANEUL GET DOWN!" Sunoo screamed as he smashed the door open, slamming it against the man violently against the torso and knees, making him fall to the ground. The teacher immediately closed the door and locked the car, turning on the car and changing it to reverse as he slammed his foot on the gas pedal, revving the engine and taking the car backwards away from the newcomer.

"Ddeonu, hurry!" Haneul shouted in a scared voice from behind the seat he was hiding under. Sunoo didn't need to be told twice and he immediately started moving the car, trying to move it out of the driveway.

He turned it to the left and was heading towards the exit when the man suddenly stood up from the ground with a furious glare on his scarred face. "FUCK, WHAT DO I DO?" Sunoo cried as he tried to look for a way to escape.

The man began to raise the gun in his hand once again, pointing it directly at Sunoo. The teacher's mind was in a complete mess of fear and panic and he didn't know how he was going to get out of this situation. But suddenly Haneul's small voice spoke up from behind him, making him freeze.

"Ddeonu, I'm scared," Haneul started to panic as tears began streaming down the young child's face. Hearing the absolute fear in Haneul's voice snapped something inside of Sunoo, and he pushed the joystick to drive, slamming his foot on the pedal once again as he drove straight ahead.

He didn't care what happened to him, but he was not going to let this innocent child suffer as a result of his decisions.

The man with the gun panicked and his eyes widened as he stumbled back a few steps, trying to run away, but he wasn't fast enough as Sunoo smashed the front of the car against him, hitting him harshly. The pink-haired male gasped and slammed his foot down on the brakes when he felt the loud thud against the front of the car, reality slapping him across the face when he realised what he had just done.

His jaw fell slack from shock and he stared in front with wide eyes, looking at the spot where the man with the gun was now laying on the ground unconscious. "Ddeonu?" Haneul asked quietly, looking up from behind the seat to where Sunoo was looking at.

"He-" Sunoo began to explain but he flinched harshly when another loud gunshot was heard, this time from the rear of the car. He whipped his head back to see another figure, this time much more menacing as they held a gun in the air, staring Sunoo dead in the eyes.

Without thinking, the young teacher panicked and hit the gas pedal once again, driving past the unconscious gunman out of the gate. "GET BACK HERE!" He heard the other man scream, but Sunoo's fear and adrenaline had him too far gone and he continued to drive on, not caring about the loud screams and gunshots he heard in the background.

----------------------

The two boys sat in silence, Sunoo's heavy panting being the only sound heard for miles. Once the adrenaline had died down and Sunoo decided it was safe to stop, they had parked on the side of a road in an unknown area. He slowly turned and looked at the young boy in the backseat with wide eyes, but the small boy was surprisingly in much better condition than he was.

He couldn't open his mouth to say anything, afraid that if he did he would burst out sobbing. Haneul slowly sat up and placed his small hand on top of Sunoo's, grabbing it in a comforting manner.

"It's okay, Ddeonu." The small boy suddenly whispered as he offered the older a bright smile. As soon as Sunoo heard the child's words, he couldn't hold his tears in anymore and he cried loudly, no longer trying to calm his erratic breathing.

"It's not okay, bub." The pink-haired male whispered, angry at himself, as he hugged the small boy in his arms, trying to hide his tears away from the younger.

"But I'm okay, and Ddeonu is okay as well. So it's okay." Haneul continued, and Sunoo only cried even more. He pulled away from the younger and held his shoulders, looking at the young boy in the eyes with his own glossy ones.

"No, it's not okay, Han-ah. I- I just killed someone." The teacher choked out a sob as he confessed, but Haneul just gave him a reassuring smile.

"But, it is okay! Daddy does it all the time!" Haneul giggled and Sunoo's eyes went wide in mild shock. "DADDY DOES WHAT?!?" He screamed at the child who flinched at the sudden loud volume.

"Loud." Haneul winced and Sunoo opened his mouth to scream again, but no noise came out because he was far too shocked to even say anything. Heeseung would often kill people? Why was his 5-year-old son aware of him being a murderer? And why was Haneul okay with it?

He was about to lose it.

Ever since he met Heeseung he felt an off vibe about him, but he blamed it on his attraction to the older, but now he knew. He couldn't believe that he had thought he was just going to be taking care of Haneul and then he's suddenly caught up in the next James Bond movie.

But what annoyed him the most was despite how terrified he was, he was still worried about Heeseung. The older had somehow carved a small place into Sunoo's heart and the pink-haired male couldn't deny how worried he was for the older, even though he saw the green-haired mafia boss kill two men in front of him. He needed to know if Heeseung was okay, if he was hurt or not. The pink haired male had left the house in such a rush he didn't even realise if Heeseung was going to be okay without the car there. He needed an explanation from the older, no matter what happened.

But right now his main priority wasn't getting an explanation from Heeseung, it was getting Haneul to a safe place because he knew that despite everything that was going on, Haneul was an innocent child that didn't deserve to be caught up in the middle of all of this.

"Phone," Sunoo mumbled as he looked around. He needed his phone to call for help, to find someone that would tell him that he was safe now.

"AH, WHERE IS MY PHONE?" Sunoo cried as he rummaged around his clothes and the car, desperately searching for his most precious possession. He needed to call the police because he had literally been the witness to two murders in front of his eyes and had practically murdered someone else himself.

Holy shit he thought as his eyes widened. He was a criminal now.

He was now, just as bad of a person as Heeseung was. He turned back and looked at Haneul who was giggling to himself about a stage performance of the kpop group. An angry sigh left the teacher's lips as he tried to think of what to do.

He couldn't use Kei's phone because there were no numbers on the phone and there was no internet connection as Sunoo had found out Haneul was watching saved videos on the phone.

He wondered how he ever got into this situation.

He couldn't call the police for help because he didn't have his phone, he didn't know where to go because there wasn't any GPS navigation on the car, and he had a kpop obsessed 5-year-old mafia boss' son with him.

God, how could I have been so stupid? He thought to himself as he felt tears stream down his face. So trusting and not cautious enough. Now I don't even know who to call for help. How could I be such an idiot? He kept cursing himself angrily.

Suddenly he stopped muttering under his breath as realisation struck him. "Idiot..." He mumbled and then his eyes widened. "JAKE AND SUNGHOON HYUNG!" He shouted abruptly startling Haneul who gave him a confused look.

"I know where to go." He announced to the younger boy who smiled at him. "Let's go!" He cheered as Sunoo started the car again, driving to the one place he always knew the way to.

----------------------

The pink-haired male gnawed on his bottom lip as he looked between the kindergarten gates and Haneul, knowing that he couldn't leave the young boy alone in the car because he couldn't shake off the phantom feeling that someone was following them.

"Come on, bub," Sunoo called out to the small boy as he helped undo Haneul's safety seatbelt.

"Why are we back at kindy, Ddeonu?" Haneul asked curiously as he climbed into his favourite person's arms.

"Ddeonu is here to get some help from his friends," Sunoo told the boy softly, who looked a bit nervous but still held on to the older tightly.

Sunoo closed the door to the car and stuffed the keys in his pocket with his free hand, holding Haneul up in the other. He was about to walk to the kindergarten gates when he made eye contact with a man wearing a black hoodie and mask over his face.

The teacher would have thought nothing of it if he hadn't noticed the way the man seemed to freeze and immediately turned away, calling someone on his phone. Sunoo panicked and immediately ran to the gate, jabbing in the code as he entered the kindergarten grounds.

He knew he legally wasn't allowed to be there, but there was a huge problem at the moment that needed to be fixed.

But as soon as Sunoo slammed the teacher's lounge door open, he paused in his tracks as his eyes widened in shock. He was greeted by the sight of Sunghoon pushing Jake against a desk with his hands on both sides of the red-haired male as they both kissed each other passionately.

A tiny gasp was heard from Haneul as he slammed his small hand over his mouth, startling the two males who only just noticed the new presence in the room and they both immediately jumped away from each other in panic, brushing down their frazzled clothes and hair. Sunoo continued to stare at them completely stunned.

"Oh-"

"WE WEREN'T KISSING!" Sunghoon and Jake suddenly shouted at the same time with hard blushes across their faces, making Sunoo shake his head disappointingly while Haneul giggled at them.

"We'll talk about whatever that was later, but right now I need you to help me!" Sunoo cried in exhaustion.

Haneul looked between Sunoo and the two other teachers, now recognising them as the ones that would always steal his Ddeonu away from him when the end of break-time bell rang. A small glare appeared on Haneul's face as he stared at the two flustered teachers, and Sunoo noticed this, tilting his head slightly but he didn't question it.

"Is everything all right, babe?" Jake asked seriously and Sunoo shook his head.

"A lot of shit happened in the past few minutes and I need to get Haneul somewhere safe. I'm not sure, but I think someone is still following us." The pink-haired male explained.

"Sunoo you look like you were caught in the middle of a gunfight." Sunghoon joked as he tried to pat down Sunoo's frazzled pink hair. "Yeah, and why do you look like you just witnessed a murder?" Jake chuckled.

But seeing the way Sunoo paled and stood frozen had the two of them widening their eyes in shock. "Wait- HOLY SHIT?!" Sunghoon screeched, making Sunoo wince.

"Language." The teacher frowned while brushing a hand through Haneul's hair, who was now glaring at Sunghoon who was standing a bit too close to Sunoo for his liking.

"Please, hyungs," Sunoo begged the two of them, wanting nothing more than to go and lie down in bed next to his sister and never have to wake up again.

"Right, let's go." Sunghoon immediately changed his demeanour, as did Jake, the two of them becoming serious.

"Why didn't you just call us?" Sunghoon asked. "I can't find my phone, I must've dropped it back at the house." Sunoo replied.

"So how did you get here?" Jake asked while patting Sunoo's back comfortingly.

"I always know the way to the kindy. I drove in Heeseu- my employer's car. " Sunoo answered and they nodded, mentally piecing the events together.

"Do you feel safe driving in it, or should we take another car?" Sunghoon asked.

"I think it should be fine, we just need to leave quickly. There are so many children here that could get hurt." Sunoo said and his eyes widened as he realised what he said. "Shit, why did I bring the car to the kindy?!" He cried and felt tears well up in his eyes at his stupidity.

"Hey, hey, Sunoo-ah, don't blame yourself for that. It was an impulse decision you knew your hyungs would be here to help you, so don't blame yourself for coming here." Jake tried to calm down the pink-haired boy.

"I guess," Sunoo muttered.

"Come on, we should hurry before the kids catch us," Sunghoon said and ushered the three boys to leave the room as he grabbed their belongings.

"I'll leave Tzuyu a note in case we die and never come back." He added in quietly, making Sunoo widen his eyes. Jake noticed this and rolled his eyes at Sunghoon.

"Stop scaring Sunoo." The red-haired male whacked the back of Sunghoon's head, earning a scowl from him.

"What? You can never be certain you'll survive things like this!" Sunghoon rolled his eyes. Jake ignored him and grabbed onto Sunoo's arm gently while grabbing onto Sunghoon's arm firmly as he pulled them out of the room towards the car park.

"Let's go."

----------------------

"In two kilometres, turn right at the intersection." The GPS navigation on Jake's phone spoke out, but it made Sunghoon frown.

"I think it's left," Sunghoon said, pointing towards the left street on the GPS.

"No, it's right. It says so on the GPS." Jake tried to correct him.

"You think I don't know the directions to my parents' hotel? It's left, idiot." The silver-haired male rolled his eyes at Jake who gasped in offence.

"You tryna tell me the fucking GPS is wrong?" Jake snapped, earning a glare from Sunoo.

"Hyungs, there's a kid in the car, and he's literally sitting between you two." He grumbled at them for their profanity, making Jake apologise sheepishly to Haneul who was blinking up at him from his booster seat in the middle of the two males.

"Well, I think Jake's an effing idiot." Sunghoon whispered to Haneul, making the little boy giggle quietly. Jake (unsurprisingly) did catch the exchange between the two and he felt extremely offended.

"What the eff did you just say about me?" Jake snarled.

"Our secret, biatch." Sunghoon bit back while putting an arm around haneul's shoulder's to create a border between them and the fiery redhead.

"That's not what I meant, you two." Sunoo rolled his eyes from in front at his two idiot hyungs in the backseat.

"Mothertrucker, don't test me," Jake growled from the left of Haneul, while Sunghoon was holding himself from pouncing on Jake from the right.

"Or what, loser?" Sunghoon challenged.

"I have more dirt on you than you can imagine." Jake growled and he pulled the edge of Haneul's booster seat closer to himself. The little boy sitting in-between them was giggling to himself, overly amused at the situation at hand.

"Hyungs, please stop arguing and tell me where to go," Sunoo complained as he tried to focus on the road.

"Go left." Sunghoon answered immediately.

"No, go right." Jake argued and Sunghoon flared his eyebrows in offence.

"We're getting closer to the intersection, which way do I go?" Sunoo asked quickly in a nervous voice.

"I said, left, Sunoo-ah," Sunghoon growled while staring Jake directly in the eyes.

"And I said, right, Sunoo-ah." Jake spat, glaring right back at Sunghoon furiously.

Haneul looked between the two arguing males and shook his head slightly with a sigh. They reminded him a lot of Jay samchon and Wonie Samchon, except a lot scarier.

"Left." The silver-haired male said, his voice getting louder.

"No, right!" Jake also exclaimed in a louder voice.

"WHICH WAY DO I GO?" Sunoo shouted at them, finally reaching his limit.

"I SAID LEFT!" Sunghoon shouted.

"WELL, THE DAMN GPS SAID RIGHT, SO WE'RE GOING RIGHT!" Jake spat back at the silver-haired male.

"FOR FUCKS SAKES!" Sunoo shouted in anger and turned around, wanting to snatch the phone out of Jake's hand so he could see for himself, but in the split second that he had turned around, he didn't realise that he was at a red light at the intersection.

"SUNOO LOOK OUT!" Jake suddenly screamed and Sunoo was a second too late to hit the breaks, instead of hearing a loud thud from in front of the car, stopping it in its tracks. The car jerked slightly, evident of an impact from hitting something.

It was silent for a few seconds as the boys all stared at the person on the floor in front of the car. "Oh shit," Sunghoon mumbled and Sunoo gasped loudly as he hurriedly undid his seatbelt.

"Fuck, don't tell me I killed another person?!" Sunoo cried in panic as he scrambled out of the car to see the pedestrian he had just hit.

He rushed out to the front of the car and immediately let out a sigh of relief when he couldn't see any blood. The person was laying on their stomach, so Sunoo carefully grabbed their shoulders and lifted the body up, trying to help them breathe.

"Ugh." The person groaned as they tried to sit up with Sunoo's help, but the pink-haired teacher froze on the spot once he got a glimpse of the other person's face, sending his brain into haywire again as shock hit his body.

"RIKI?!"

Chapter Text

"RIKI?!?" Sunoo gasped loudly as he held onto the tall male's shoulders. There was a moment of silence between the two as they stared at each other with wide eyes.

Sunoo couldn't even remember how long it had been since he saw the blonde-haired male and he could feel his head spinning knowing that he had run into him again - that too, with his car. The blonde man stared at him with shock, trying to process the situation before he suddenly gasped really loudly.

"WAIT- who are you?" Riki asked with a thick Japanese accent while furrowing his eyebrows. His accent still hadn't left him after all these years and his voice was far deeper than what Sunoo remembered, but what surprised the young teacher more was the question that the delirious male had just asked him.

"You- I swear to fucking god, do you seriously not recognise me?" Sunoo nearly screamed, his initial shock at almost killing someone immediately dissipated and he was now full of rage.

"No? Wait a minute- are you the cute waiter that served me ice cream last week?" Riki asked with wide eyes and Sunoo couldn't do anything but stare at him in disbelief. A second of silence passed between them, Riki looking around awkwardly as Sunoo abruptly stood up.

"On second thought, die." The pink-haired male spat as he pushed the tall blonde to the ground and walked back to the car.

"Wait- You can't leave me here? Sir?" Riki panicked but Sunoo completely ignored him as he sat in the seat of his car. He was already so pissed at the situation he was in and it just seemed to be getting more horrible as time passed.

"Is that..." Jake finally looked at the man and gasped as he pointed at the blonde felon that he had hoped he'd never have to see again.

"NAHHH, HE'S GOT A LOT OF NERVE SHOWING HIS ASS AROUND HERE," Sunghoon growled as he held onto Sunoo's shoulder supportively.

They both absolutely despised Riki for the pain they put him through and they had been completely overjoyed to know that Riki had moved back to Japan. But now he was here again and they weren't going to allow him to hurt their pink-haired friend ever again.

"Sunoo, you made the right choice." Sunghoon smiled evilly but that made Sunoo furrow his eyebrows in confusion. "By hitting him with my car?" The pink-haired male asked, but when he got no reply he just looked away in disbelief.

What he thought would be a fun shopping day, a day where he could bond with Haneul and help the younger try and overcome some of his fears, ended with him witnessing two murders and murdering a man with a gun. Not to mention the man who he was 50% terrified by and 50% attracted to, turned out to be a mafia boss. And now, not only was he stuck with his two idiotic hyungs in the backseat with the mafia boss's son, but he had hit his ex with his car.

The day honestly couldn't get any worse at this point.

But the pink-haired male knew he spoke too soon when he spotted a sleek black car with dark-tinted windows zooming towards him through the side mirror. He furrowed his eyebrows and wondered if the car was going to stop, but instead of stopping, the sped-up, just as Sunoo's heart rate did.

"AYE, GET OUT OF THE WAY, PUNK!" Jake shouted as he rolled down the window slightly. Riki furrowed his eyebrows at the red-haired male, rolling his eyes as he turned his attention back to Sunoo, but the pink-haired male's attention was preoccupied.

"You hit me with your car! I can sue you." Riki shouted as he banged his fist on the front of the car.

"Run him over, darling, don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Jake whisper-shouted from the backseat.

"I agree with him, we'll defend you in court, Noo." Sunghoon chimed in.

"You're both kindergarten teachers, not lawyers." Sunoo rolled his eyes as he huffed angrily, but he looked back into his side mirror to see that the car wasn't stopping anytime soon.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck." He kept cursing as he hurriedly put on his seatbelt, hands frantically reaching over to unlock the passenger seat door.

Riki had stopped banging his fists against the window and had also noticed the car that was speeding towards them from the bottom of the hill. Sunoo panicked and opened the door, surprising the blonde male.

"GET IN!" He shouted and Riki didn't waste another second before he jumped in the car and slammed the door shut behind him. As soon as the lock clicked, Sunoo stepped on the gas pedal roughly, revving the engine loudly as it suddenly jerked forward and the car bumpily started to speed through the street.

The three boys in the backseat all hit their heads against the headrests at the sudden speed up, and they also began to panic. Unsurprisingly, Jake and Sunghoon's eyes began to well with tears before Haneul's, the young boy staring at the panicked Riki with furrowed brows.

"Kiki?" Haneul's small voice spoke out, but Riki heard it, snapping his head back to look at the little boy.

"Hanhan?" The blonde male asked with wide eyes, only now realising the presence of the child in the car. Sunoo didn't have time to process the interaction as he was focused on getting away from the car that was speeding up just as much as he was.

"Wait, how do you know our Haneul?" Sunghoon asked Riki while Jake glared at the blonde with a venomous look in his eyes. Riki frowned at the older, now knowing why he was being so hostile even though they were the ones that hit him with their car.

"What do you mean 'your' Haneul'?" Riki asked, but Sunoo immediately shut them up by shouting angrily.

"FUCK-" The teacher shouted as he quickly turned the wheel, narrowly missing a car on his right.

"SHIT- SUNOO DRIVE SAFELY!" Jake shouted while gripping onto the side of Haneul's booster to protect the child. But the little boy was less than frazzled.

"Kiki, why are you here?" Haneul inquired, however, his question was immediately ignored as Riki stared at Sunoo with wide eyes.

"SUNOO? AS IN MY HOT EX, SUNOO?" He asked loudly, shouting over the loud engine.

"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST CALL HIM?" Sunghoon growled from the backseat and Sunoo felt like his head was going to explode.

"IT IS YOU! HOLY SHIT, WHY DO YOU LOOK SO DIFFERENT?!" Riki pointed out and Jake whacked the back of the man's head at the comment.

"YOU BETTER MEAN THAT IN A GOOD WAY, ASSHAT" Jake shouted and Riki would've made a snarky comment back if Sunoo didn't suddenly turn the car to the right so quickly, forcing all of their bodies to fall to the left side of the car.

"HYUNGS, DON'T YOU THINK WE HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS TO WORRY ABOUT?!" Sunoo shouted as his hands fumbled while trying to straighten the car on the road. He glanced into the rear view mirror and he felt his heart drop when he saw the black car turn down the same street and start speeding up.

"SHIT, SUNOO THEY'RE BEHIND US!" Sunghoon screamed as he noticed the car behind them was gaining at the second.

"NO FUCKING SHIT, SHERLOCK!" Sunoo screamed angrily, his fear getting to the best of him as he kept increasing the speed, driving through deserted roads.

He didn't look back, only going to drive and drive when he finally turned down a street and didn't see them approaching him. The teacher slowed down the car, looking at his surroundings, but nonetheless continued to drive. The tense atmosphere from before was dissipating and they all took a moment to have a breather.

"They're probably after me," Riki spoke up and broke the silence. He sighed sadly and they all looked at him with questioning expressions, making him sigh again, louder. "It's probably because of all the shady shit my brother did for the mafia. Haneul's father probably had enough of him and is trying to get rid of me as well now." Riki explained and everyone went silent again in shock.

"YOU'RE IN THE MAFIA?!" Jake shouted, making everyone in the van flinch at his volume.

"He's been in the mafia for the past two years," Riki said slowly, ignoring the look of offence and betrayal that Sunoo shot at him.

"You-" Sunoo was flabbergasted. He couldn't even believe what he was hearing. At least he hadn't known Heeseung that long or that well so he couldn't blame himself for not knowing about the older's involvement in the mafia, but Riki? The man whom he was in love with for so long? Working with the man who he now felt extremely attracted to? Not to mention that Riki had just confirmed to him that Heeseung, Haneul's father, was a mafia boss.

"Please don't tell me you guys are part of the mafia too?" Sunoo nearly cried as he turned to Jake and Sunghoon in the backseat accusingly.

Sunghoon took in a deep breath before he stared at Sunoo with apologetic eyes. "Yes, we are." Sunghoon sighed as he gave Sunoo an apologetic smile.

Sunoo's eyes widened almost comically and he felt his entire heart rate stop. "YOU'RE WHAT?!" He screamed.

"Oh my god, we're not part of the mafia. Sunghoon stop fucking around." Jake scolded the male, giving Sunoo a reassuring smile. But the pink-haired teacher didn't know what to believe anymore.

"Guys, we need somewhere to hide." Sunoo was exhausted as he drove along aimlessly. He knew they had lost the car that had been stalking them before, but now he needed to get them somewhere safe.

----------------------

He looked around the roads as they neared the bottom of a mountain and noticed a small shop that seemed to be illuminated from the inside out. "A convenience store! Stop here, maybe there will be someone inside that can help us!" Riki suggested, pointing towards the small convenience store that was surprisingly still open.

"35 Sunbaenim?" Jake muttered with furrowed brows as he read the store name. "What an odd name." He said and Sunghoon agreed, but Sunoo was too worried about dying to focus on what they were saying.

"HOW DO THEY KEEP FINDING US?!" He suddenly panicked loudly when he spotted the black car turning into the same street from behind him and he immediately slammed his foot on the pedal as he drove away from the convenience store. The roads were narrow as they wound up the side of the mountain, taking him further and further up.

"FUCK." Jake screamed when a large tree branch slammed against his window, but Sunoo didn't have time to panic because the car tailing them was speeding up.

They finally reached the top of the mountain but they all widened their eyes when they saw nothing but a dead-end at the edge of the cliff. The only way back down was to go down the same roads they went as before.

"Sunoo..." Sunghoon gasped and Sunoo felt like he was going to puke. He grabbed the joystick and pushed it reverse, ready to go back down the mountain when the black car suddenly pulled up behind them, blocking them completely.

"Shit." Jake cursed and he put his arms around Haneul protectively.

"What are we gonna do?" Sunghoo asked as calmly as possible, trying not to panic, but Sunoo didn't know how to answer him.

"Holy shit, are we all gonna-" Riki started but he didn't need to finish the sentence because they all had the same thought in their mind.

"BUT I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE?" He shouted as his eyes widened in horror, and Sunoo would've rolled his eyes if he wasn't equally as terrified as the younger.

Is this it? Is this the end? Sunoo thought in fear as his heart threatened to jump out of his chest. He saw that Sunghoon and Jake shared equally terrified looks, but their arms had never stopped protecting Haneul the entire time and the teacher couldn't help but feel happy at how much they cared for the little boy.

The young child was shaking a little as he could feel the sudden fear in the atmosphere, but he was surprisingly extremely calm. The teacher narrowed his eyes at the younger but quickly ducked down as he hear the car come to a stop behind them. Riki copied his actions as did Sunghoon and Jake, shielding Haneul with their bodies.

"Hyung," Sunoo whispered, but Jake leant forward and placed his hand on top of Sunoo's head, hiding the younger away from the men's line of sight.

It was dead silent for a few seconds, all of them holding their breath as they prayed that this would not be their very last moment on Earth. The pink-haired teacher inhaled sharply, shutting his eyes tightly when suddenly the side window was smashed open and the door was unlocked in the blink of an eye.

Sunoo almost screamed as he was roughly manhandled out of the car and felt a cold metal barrel press to the side of his head. Fear overtook his body and he started to shake but instead of receiving a bullet to the head, the barrel moved away and he felt a hand grab him softly.

"Sunoo hyung?" The voice called and Sunoo slowly opened his eyes, recognising the familiar tone.

"Wonie Pie?" His eyes doubled in size as he stared at the brown-haired gunman. The younger male gave him a Chesire-like grin despite how concerned he was a second ago.

"That's me." He chuckled and was going to say more when they were interrupted by Sunghoon jumping out from the backseat of the car and pushing Sunoo out of the way, the younger male landing on the ground with a thud.

"Wha-"

"DON'T SHOOT HIM, IF YOU'RE GOING TO SHOOT SOMEONE, SHOOT ME!" The silver-haired male yelled and Jungwon stared at him blankly for a few seconds before he raised an eyebrow.

"Who-" He wanted to ask, but was surprised when he saw another male jump out and stand in front of Sunghoon with one of his arms shielding Sunghoon's body and the other holding the hand of the small child behind him.

"YOU'LL HAVE TO GET THROUGH ME FIRST!" The red-haired male screamed and Jungwon was even more baffled. He turned his gaze away from the two crazy men and his eyes widened as they landed on the small child that looked up to him with a small smile.

"Haneul?" he mumbled as Jay ran up to him with a gun in hand. Jungwon glared at his boyfriend, warning him to lower his gun which he complied with immediately.

Sunoo got up from the ground, his body beginning to reel in from all the fatigue that clouded his mind. He looked up and saw the familiar tall man run up to Riki and grab him by the collar, making him panic slightly but he was confused with the reaction he got from the blonde male.

"KEI HYUNG?" Riki nearly fainted at the sight of the taller male who ran up to him and wrapped him into a bone-crushing hug. Jungwon shared a look with Jay as they looked away from the Japanese boys to notice the two other men who were holding Haneul in their arms.

Jungwon raised an eyebrow at the fiery red hair while Jay did the same to the silver-haired male, both of them wondering how bad they must've lost a bet to have their hair looking that terrible.

However, they were more concerned about how compliant Haneul was with them, resting his head on Jake's shoulder until another male came over and grabbed the younger boy.

"Appa!" Haneul cheered as he jumped into his father's arms, who also trapped him in a bone-crushing hug. The pink-haired male watched the interaction in a daze, his mind foggy as he was still processing what was happening. Are we not dead? He thought to himself.

"Sunoo-ah, are you alright?" Jake asked softly while touching Sunoo's arm when he was pulled away by Sunghoon.

"Yeah, I'm alright- I just," Sunoo muttered but his attention was long gone from the conversation and instead focused on the one man that tightly hugged his son in his arms, placing kisses in his hair.

Sunoo's eyes widened when he saw the familiar wad of green hair step away from Haneul, and he swore his heart stopped when he locked eyes with the male. But it wasn't out of fear, no, every single cell of fear left his body when he looked into the taller man's eyes.

The look that Heeseung held in them, the way they widened when they locked with Sunoo's and the visible relief that flooded them when he saw that Sunoo was okay was more than enough for the teacher to start crying.

"Sunoo!" Sunoo felt shivers down his spine when he heard the desperation Heeseung had in his voice as he called out his name.

The mafia boss ran up to the pink-haired male and instead of lashing out angrily, he immediately took in the younger's appearance in concern and held onto the sides of the teacher's face with shaky hands.

"Are you okay?!" Heeseung asked abruptly, grabbing Sunoo's face and patting his hands all around the pink-haired boy, checking him for any injuries. Sunoo looked up at him with wide eyes, not expecting the question.

He couldn't say any words, only mindlessly nodding as he stared into Heesueng's worried eyes, finding himself getting lost in the fondness he held in them. Heeseung bit his lip and Sunoo saw the older's eyes begin to water making him feel his own wave of tears threaten to fall.

"Fuck, darling- I was so worried." The mafia boss almost cried and Sunoo could feel his heart racing in his chest. Heeseung naturally let his hands fall to Sunoo's waist and he rubbed soft soothing circles on the male's hips, the action warming Sunoo's heart.

Heeseung was worried? The pink-haired male couldn't help but feel a bit happier knowing that he wasn't the only one stressing about the other.

"I'm okay, Heeseung hyung." He softly whispered, as if it was a secret only for the two of them. A bit terrified, but okay. Sunoo wanted to add, but he knew Heeseung would understand him without him having to say it.

The two stared at each other wordlessly, both having so much to say but they felt like it could wait. Right now, they were both safe and alive, and that was all that honestly mattered.

The mafia boss raised a hand and stroked the back of Sunoo's hair fondly, his eyes searching the younger's frantically for any signs of fear but when he found none, he brought the pink-haired male's body closer to his own, craving Sunoo's touch.

"Don't scare me like that again." Heeseung gently yet firmly whispered into Sunoo's ears as he wrapped his arms around the younger's waist, pulling the shorter male into his chest possessively.

Sunoo sighed, knowing that the older male had so much explaining to do, but after all the action that he had gone through, Sunoo wanted nothing more than to collapse on the spot.

So he let himself melt into Heeseung's embrace, enjoying the man's arms around his body while he could because, despite everything that had happened today, he was still grateful he was alive - grateful that he was able to see Heeseung and Haneul's happy faces.

And for now, that was enough.

Heeseung broke away from the hug reluctantly and Sunoo tilted his head curiously when Heeseung reached into his jacket. The younger's eyes widened when the mafia boss pulled out a handgun from his pocket, stepping away from Sunoo and moving dangerously towards his two hyungs as they all stared at the mafia boss in shock.

"Heeseung hyung-" Sunoo tried to speak but the mafia boss couldn't hear him, instead of holding the gun up to Jake's head and glaring into both males' eyes with a dark look in his own.

"You have two seconds to tell me who the fuck you are or I will kill you both."

Chapter Text

An awkward silence filled the entire room.

Here they were, sitting on the extremely expensive couches that lined the insides of Heeseung's living room. Kei had gone off with Niki and Haneul to the older safehouse, whichever one that was because Sunoo didn't know what to believe anymore. The pink-haired male frowned as he noticed the entire place had been cleaned, almost making it seem as if the entire gunfight/shootout had never happened.

Had he hallucinated the entire thing? Had he hallucinated every moment since he met Haneul? Was he slowly losing it?

He had so many questions and wasn't even sure if he wanted to hear the answers. His ignorance towards the reality of the situation was the last thread that he was holding onto but now he couldn't help but feel everything collapsing as the truth came out into the open.

Ignorance truly was bliss.

It was funny really, how mere moments ago Heeseung had lifted a gun at Jake and Sunghoon's heads, threatening to obliterate them if they didn't give him the explanation he needed, and yet here Sunoo was, waiting for Heeseung to give him a proper explanation about what the hell was going on.

Heeseung was a mafia boss. A fucking criminal. Sunoo didn't know just how much more messed up his life could get at this point.

He let out a shaky sigh of anger as he looked at Jungwon and Jay sitting on the couch across from him. He couldn't believe that he had trusted these two as well, honestly believing that they were a part of Heeseung's kpop group.

Wait- was Heeseung even related to the kpop industry in the slightest? Sunoo wanted to cry.

"Speak," The mafia boss's voice boomed in the large room, startling Sunoo even though he wasn't the one Heeseung was talking to.

"Well, you see- Mr Mafia Boss Man...dude....we don't really know why we're here...?" Jake began to speak and Sunghoon elbowed the red-haired male.

"Don't let him know what we're thinking! Now he has the upper hand!" Sunghoon whisper-shouted to the male who only scoffed at him and elbowed him back.

"He has a gun in his fucking hands, I think he already had the upper hand." Jake whisper-shouted back.

Sunoo felt his heart rate increase with every second his two idiot friends kept bickering and judging from how much angrier the scowl on Heeseung's face was, something really bad was about to happen if they explain properly.

"You two are the teachers, right? Sunoo's coworkers?" Jungwon suddenly spoke up, making the two bickering males stop their conversation midway.

"We're not just coworkers, we're his boyfriends." Jake huffed at the younger male whose eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"Boyfriends?" The green-haired mafia boss spoke up, and Jake's confidence disappeared as he shrunk into himself a little as he now realised it probably wasn't the right thing to say.

"Hyung." Sunoo groaned when he noticed the way Heeseung's jaw clenched angrily.

Both Heeseung and Jake turned to Sunoo, making the pink-haired boy sigh at the two older men. he was so mentally and physically drained, he seriously didn't think he could handle this right now.

"Where are the bodies?" Sunoo asked quietly, and Heeseung looked at him with a somewhat confused expression for a few seconds before he answered.

"Bodies? There were two men knocked unconscious on the driveway. They were taken to the basement for...interrogation." Heeseung answered, fidgeting slightly but Sunoo was too shocked to process the older's out-of-character nervousness.

"They weren't...dead?" Sunoo asked, his voice as quiet as a whisper.

"They will be if they don't speak soon." Jay scoffed, earning a wack on his arm from Jungwon.

"I don't- I don't understand," Sunoo muttered, trying to process everything he was being told.

"Oh my god, you beat the shit out of them for answers!" Sunghoon gasped from beside Jake, momentarily forgetting the ever-present gun in Heeseung's hand.

"You might wanna stop talking." Heeseung threatened.

"Jake, they're like an actual mafia, holy shit!? How did Sunoo bag this scary-ass dude?" Sunghoon whispered to the red-haired male next to him. Jay's eyes widened hearing the insults and Jungwon immediately looked over at Heeseung to see his reaction, only to gulp when he saw a dangerous glare in Heeseung's eyes.

"Come on, it's Sunoo! He can pull literally anyone." Jake whispered back as if it was the most obvious thing.

"I mean yeah, but isn't part-time-crime-boss and part-time-kpop-idol such a demanding job? How the hell does he manage taking care of a kid?" Sunghoon asked.

"That's why he wanted to hire Sunoo! He wanted Sunoo to be the Haneuls' father!" Jake gasped and the two turned to look at Heeseung in shock, ignoring the way the older was absolutely seething.

"If you two don't-" Heeseung began but Jake and Sunghoon just scoffed.

"Can you stop lumping me with him? I was with Sunoo during this entire thing, I don't know what he was doing though." Jake huffed as he looked away from Sunghoon.

"Excuse me?! You're the one who fucking decided to bring me alone?? 'Don't know what he was doing' my thick ass, you're the one who decided to tag along with me and my Sunoo." Sunghoon scoffed in disbelief, making Jake widen his eyes.

"MY SUNOO? HELLO?!? HE'S MINE?!" The red-haired male shouted.

"PLEASE, SUNOO'S BEEN MINE FROM DAY ONE, WE ESTABLISHED THIS!" Sunghoon laughed dryly as if he was saying the most obvious thing.

"OH, SO THAT'S HOW YOU FUCKING WANT THIS TO GO? YOU KISS ME AND THEN YOU START SAYING SUNOO IS YOURS?!" Jake yelled as he stood up.

"YOU'RE THE ONE THAT FUCKING PUT A CLAIM ON HIM FIRST?? IGNORING ME AND SAYING YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING AFTER MAKING OUT WITH ME? WHAT EVEN ARE WE, SIM JAYEUN?!" Sunghoon yelled out as well, standing to full height as well, making him slightly tower over Jake.

"I DON'T FUCKING KNOW? WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO BE? HUH?" Jake dramatically shouted at Sunghoon as he felt his heart beating wildly in his chest.

"ENOUGH!" Heeseung snarled angrily, making the duo jump in their seats slightly.

"Sunoo, tell your mafia boss boyfriend that we're innocent!" They turned and whisper-shouted out to Sunoo in panic, but the pink-haired male wasn't listening to a word they were saying the entire time.

"So I didn't kill them?" Sunoo's eyes widened in disbelief. He hadn't killed someone. He was innocent. He felt a sob of relief about to break free from his lips. He couldn't believe it.

"What? No, you just knocked him unconscious with the car. He woke up ten minutes after we took him down to the basement." Jungwon explained.

"Took them to the basement to what?" Sunghoon said, although there was a suggestive hint in his voice. Jake let out a small smile, holding out his hand for the other to high-five. Jay stared at the two, looking completely unamused while Jungwon stared at them curiously, not knowing how these two were so calm despite the opposite nature of the entire situation.

Not to mention Heeseung still had a gun in his hand.

"Heeseung hyung, put the gun down." Jungwon said gently to the older who snapped his head at Jungwon and levelled him with a glare. The brown-haired male wasn't about to let the older win this and he glared back even more fiercely, with a look that said they would talk about it later. So with a sigh, Heeseung placed his gun back into the sides of his coat, but the glare he had directed to the two males had not once dropped from his face.

He turned away from them to look at the pink-haired male he was still waiting to properly speak to. He saw the confused and lost expression on Sunoo's face, and Heeseung felt his heart clench. He knew he needed to speak to Sunoo alone, especially without the audience of the two idiotic kindergarten teachers, now that he had somewhat assessed that they were genuinely just stupid and caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time.

"Take them back to their home," Heeseung ordered to Jay and Jungwon, his voice full of nothing but seriousness.

"Yes, hyung." The couple nodded as they walked over to escort the bickering pair out. Jake turned to give Sunoo an encouraging smile and Sunghoon sent a not-so-subtle wink to the younger who in turn felt a small smile rise to his lips.

He really loved his two friends, no matter how stupid they were.

Now that the other four had left the room, Heeseung and Sunoo were left alone with an unbearable tension in the room. Sunoo gulped as he tried to compose his thoughts and he cursed his heart for beating so wildly at the thought of being alone with Heeseung.

He blamed it on the fact that he was currently terrified, not wanting to admit any other feelings when he was so mad at the older male. Not even mad, he was beyond enraged and wanted answers.

When he saw the green-haired male standing up from the corner of his eyes, he immediately spoke up, knowing that he couldn't let the older go now.

"Heeseung hyung, we need to talk," Sunoo said solemnly, and for the first time in a long time, Heeseung felt tense as he sat back down across the younger male.

----------------------

"How is Niki involved with all of this? How does he know Kei hyung? How does he know Haneul?" Sunoo immediately began interrogating the older and Heeseung let out a sigh.

"You'll have to ask him yourself," Heeseung answered, but it barely satisfied Sunoo. Heeseung noticed the annoyed look on the younger's face and he scoffed.

"How do you even know Niki? Why was he with you?" The green-haired male asked bitterly.

"What's it to you, huh?" Sunoo scoffed. "You're not the only one who can keep secrets." Sunoo snapped and Heeseung furrowed his eyebrows.

"Sunoo," Heeseung said with a warning edge in his voice, but Sunoo wasn't listening. He was going to say what he wanted to, one way or another.

"I'm fucking sorry if I'm hurting your feelings by not telling you my relationship with Niki, but you fucking hurt my feelings by keeping the fact that you're a murderer hidden from me! Did you even think for a second about how I feel right now?" Sunoo spat angrily.

"Love, listen, I'm sorry that you feel that way, but you are being a bit over-dramati-" Heeseung couldn't finish his sentence as he was suddenly struck across the face, knuckles making contact with his nose with such force he stumbled back.

He looked up with wide eyes, panting harshly as he tried to blink away the tears that appeared from the stinging sensation in his nose. Heeseung held back the urge to gulp as he saw the absolute rage in Sunoo's eyes.

"Don't you dare fucking tell me how I'm supposed to feel," Sunoo slowly said in such a firm tone Heeseung couldn't even say anything. "Don't you dare act as if you wouldn't kill someone for so much as lying to you. If you could go to such extents, don't you think that maybe my anger is fucking justified?" Sunoo snarled at Heeseung, and for once the green-haired male had no reply.

"Not only have you lied to me about your job- but you're also a fucking criminal. A mafia boss? Are you joking me?" Sunoo scoffed in disbelief.

"I just didn't want to hurt you-"

"You're a fucking murderer aren't you?" Sunoo gasped, interrupting Heeseung who sucked in a breath.

"I don't murder those who don't deserve it," Heeseung said and Sunoo scoffed again.

"And how do I know you're not lying now?" The teacher snapped.

"I have the files. The files of every person I have killed and ordered to be killed." The mafia boss explained.

"Could you even name any of them?" Sunoo muttered angrily.

"Lee Jiyeong. A nurse and midwife who helped deliver Haneul, age 27. She tried to suffocate Haneul 2 hours after he had been born, locking him in the NICU and covering the entire thing with a tarp. If I hadn't shot her, Haneul wouldn't be here right now." Heeseung immediately explained and Sunoo froze for a second as he was shocked by the sudden information. Heeseung took Sunoo's silence as a sign to keep going.

"Kim Hanwool, the doctor who had been checking on Haneul's mother because she was extremely sick at the time, age 34. He sexually assaulted Haneul's mother when all the midwives had left the room." Heeseung explained, his voice filling with his own anger at the people who had harmed them.

"He what-" Sunoo gasped, his eyebrows furrowed in shock and disgust at that horrible doctor. He tried to look for any hint of lies in Heeseung's voice but he could see that the older was fully honest about this. Sunoo felt sick at the thought of a doctor taking advantage of a woman who had just given birth.

"You see darling, they were all people who had done something terrible and didn't deserve to live. It is the exact same case for every other person I have ever killed or ordered to be killed, and I don't regret any of it." Heeseung firmly argued.

"But what makes you think you have the right to play god? Who let you decide who gets to die or not?" Sunoo said although it was evident that the anger in his voice was dissipating. He kept wanting to feel anger at Heeseung for what he had done, to blame him, but Sunoo couldn't help the part of himself that justified Heeseung's actions.

Of course, Sunoo agreed that killing someone was wrong- but he knew he wished death upon evil people who hurt those weaker than them, for their own delight. He knew that if Heeseung hadn't killed that midwife, Haneul wouldn't have been alive.

"The world seems to know who you are, so why hide this from me?" Sunoo asked under his breath, his frustration seeping through. Heeseung let out a sigh and he wanted nothing more than to come closer to the younger.

"I didn't want Haneul to lose you. If you knew who I was, you'd stay away from Haneul and- fuck, darling, he's never opened up to anyone like he has to you." Heeseung explained, his voice turning desperate. "All this ever was from the start, was to make sure my son could learn and grow with someone that he trusted."

"That still doesn't explain why you're still keeping me around. Shouldn't you have killed me by now?" Sunoo said with a little more anger than he should have, especially since he knew fully well how Heeseung was able to end his life in seconds.

"Sunoo..." Heeseung slowly spoke, inhaling deeply. "I promise you, I could never, and will never kill you," Heeseung said with sheer determination in his eyes that Sunoo had to look away. It was silent between them for a few seconds as the weight of Heeseung's words sunk in.

If there was one thing Sunoo could trust about Heeseung, it was that he didn't make promises lightly. The pink-haired male looked down at his hands as he saw Heeseung walking closer to him again as he spoke up.

"I know I have hurt you, Sunoo, and I regret everything I did to cause you pain." Heeseung softly spoke up. "I know the way I acted to you was unfair, but I won't let you get hurt by me anymore," Heeseung said.

Sunoo looked up at the older, staring into those hesitant brown eyes that were clouded with so much confusion and regret.

"What about when we first met? When you abducted me and punched me? Do you regret that?" Sunoo bitterly chuckled. He knew it wasn't a fair question to ask, but in anger, he wanted to make Heeseung hurt the same way he was hurting. A frown was on Heeseung's face as he felt his heart clench at the memory.

"I don't regret acting the way I did when we first met. I only regret that it was you who I hit." Heeseung said firmly, but there was so much remorse shining through his voice.

"I know I would've resorted to violence like you if my kid was taken by an adult man that I had never seen before, but kidnapping them? Instead of heading to the police, you tell me you took me to your creepy murder basement and questioned me yourself and kept me there until the next day. That's why I'm upset about that Heeseung-ssi." Sunoo sneered at the older male, who couldn't do anything other than hang his head down in shame. A sigh left the teacher's lips as he tried to calm himself down.

"Besides we're even now, I suppose," Sunoo muttered as he saw the small trickle of blood from Heeseung's nose. Heeseung let himself smile sadly at that, feeling shocked at how forgiving the younger was being with him right now. He knew this was far from over, but he couldn't help but feel relieved that he wouldn't have to hide from Sunoo anymore.

"I would want an explanation for everything, but I'm too tired for any of this shit right now." Sunoo huffed and Heeseung nodded. It was silent for a few seconds as the one question they were both thinking about was at the front of their minds.

"Will you leave now?" Heeseung asked being the one to break the silence. He didn't want Sunoo to, but he knew that he would fully financially support the younger male if he did. He deserved that much at least.

it was silent for a few seconds before Sunoo spoke up. "I'll stay." He said with a sigh.

"You will?" Heeseung asked, his eyes widening slightly.

"I have been put through hell, Heeseung-ssi, and the only reason I'm still putting up with it is because of your son," Sunoo said seriously, and Heeseung could see that the pink-haired man was being completely honest.

Heeseung couldn't deny the sudden ache in his chest, but he blamed it on the punch he had just received.

"I understand," Heeseung answered honestly. Sunoo let out a sigh, feeling like a weight had been lifted off of his chest and he was finally able to breathe again.

"Although, if you want to still take care of Haneul, we can't live here anymore." Heeseung suddenly spoke up.

"What?" Sunoo asked.

"You know my identity. You know where I live, and who I work with. You witnessed us murder people, and while it isn't a rare occurrence for me, it must have shocked you immensely and it is still a crime no doubt. I trust you, but I can't risk letting someone see you and Haneul here and report you to the police." Heeseung explained solemnly.

"So where would we go? I don't have a home as you know." Sunoo asked.

Heeseung was silent for a few seconds as he felt immense guilt wash over him. While he had explained a few things to Sunoo, much of his actions remained a secret from the younger.

"You do have a home. Your apartment." Heeseung said slowly.

"Heeseung, you were there when you saw that I wasn't able to live there anymore. I got evicted," Sunoo said as if it was the most obvious thing.

"You were...wrongly evicted," Heeseung muttered. Sunoo frowned at how quiet the older's voice was as he tried to pick up what Heeseung said.

"I was what?" Sunoo asked.

"Your apartment. You still legally have the right to live there." Heeseung admitted. Sunoo observed the older's actions for a full minute, and Heeseung felt his nervousness rise again with every second the younger's silence dragged on.

"What did you do?" Sunoo finally asked, and Heeseung inhaled and exhaled slowly before telling Sunoo how he had called the owner of the apartment and bought the entire building and land rights.

"I'M SORRY, YOU WHAT?!" Sunoo shouted suddenly and Heeseung gulped, not knowing what to say.

"Because I'm the legal owner now, we could move back into your apartment. Or we could move into any of the apartments." Heeseung explained.

"You- I can't fucking believe you." Sunoo chuckled bitterly as he rubbed his eyes. Heeseung couldn't say anything to that, just waiting for the younger's response. Hearing himself admit it out loud now made him realise that buying the entire building may not have been the best choice.

Sunoo let out a tired sigh, feeling all of his energy draining from his body the more he heard the older male talk. He couldn't even believe how taking care of a young child had gotten him to this point. The point where his life was now royally a mess.

He looked at the mafia boss, and he knew the older was waiting for him to agree to move into his place but Sunoo wasn't going to let him. If Heeseung was going to so easily take away everything from Sunoo, Sunoo wasn't going to make it easy for the older to give back now that he understood the severity of his actions.

"You're going to give the apartment back to all those people that lived there. Did you even consider for a minute how many people would end up homeless?" Sunoo asked with a scoff.

"They're still living there, they just pay money to me now," Heeseung said with a frown.

"Still, you evicted me and you took away the landowner's rights using intimidation? Do you not realise how shitty that is?" Sunoo asked, but seeing the blank look on Heeseung's face he scoffed. "Of course, you don't, laws don't mean anything to you," Sunoo muttered under his breath.

"Well, then where would we live? We can't take Haneul out of the country." Heeseung furrowed his eyebrows.

"I'm not the one with options, remember?" Sunoo huffed. It was silent again, except this time the mafia boss was reviewing all the safehouses he had and he couldn't think of anymore he was able to take Sunoo to. That was until he remembered there was still a place where they could all live without having to buy residency. They would be able to stay without being detected or followed.

"There is one more option," Heeseung said slowly, trying to gauge the younger's reaction. Sunoo stared at him for a few seconds, trying to decipher his tone.

"Go on." Sunoo prompted.

"We could go live with-" Heeseung had to physically inhale to calm himself down. "We could go live with Haneul's mom."

Sunoo suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe.

Chapter Text

Sunoo couldn't stop shaking his leg. He gnawed on his bottom lip as he looked outside the car window every few minutes. He was doing everything he could possibly do to force himself not to turn to his right and look at the one person he was trying to avoid.

While it was completely futile to try and ignore someone he had to spend almost every hour of every day with, Sunoo was nothing if not stubborn and he was adamant about ignoring Heeseung. He wasn't raging anymore, but he was extremely upset with the whole situation.

He was sitting in the backseat of a sleek black van, with the mafia boss sitting to his right while very obviously staring directly at Sunoo. The pink-haired teacher was so tempted to turn and tell the older to 'fuck off', but he knew how immature that would be especially considering the fact that Heeseung was doing nothing more than looking at him.

This morning when Heeseung woke up Sunoo from the guest room and told the younger to get up and get ready to leave, Sunoo was beyond shocked. Heeseung wasn't wasting away any time, and it seemed like every single belonging in the house had been removed and placed into other dark vans that followed behind them.

Sunoo reluctantly followed pursuit, biting down his tongue from cursing the older. He was more concerned about Haneul, whom Heeseung said they were going to pick up from Kei and Niki. The pink-haired male was still so confused about Niki's relation to Haneul, but he honestly didn't want to care about the blonde-haired kidult.

He was more eager to see the little black-haired, doe-eyed baby who had made Sunoo's life so much better and so much worse.

His leg was bouncing up and down and he could tell Heeseung was getting bothered by the sound, but he continued the action, smirking mentally at successfully bothering the older. Did he feel a little guilty? Maybe. But did he regret being petty? Absolutely not. He fully justified his pettiness with all the drama and pain that he had to suffer through because of the older male.

But the other reason Sunoo couldn't stop bouncing his leg was because of how nervous he was about what was going to happen. They were going to live with Haneul's mom. The woman who gave birth to Haneul, the woman who slept with Heese-

Sunoo mentally groaned as he tried to clear any odd thoughts he was having. So what if Heeseung slept with that woman? They weren't together now and if Heeseung's tone whenever he spoke about that woman was any indication of his hatred for her, Sunoo was sure she didn't want anything to do with Heeseung either.

Although Sunoo was a little worried about how Haneul would react. The little boy was already beginning to handle social situations and settings so well, and now they would have to move again. On top of that, Sunoo wasn't even sure about how Haneul's relationship was with his mother.

The pink-haired teacher couldn't help but pout at the thought of Haneul completely ignoring him to stay around his mother. Sunoo mentally punched himself for thinking ridiculous thoughts- of course, Haneul would want to be around his birth mother.

So what if Haneul wanted Sunoo to marry his father and stay with them forever? So what if Haneul had drawn Sunoo as a part of their family? At the end of the day, it didn't mean anything because of course Haneul loved his birth mother more than he could ever love Sunoo, and Heeseung would probably ignore Sunoo for her as well.

So what? Sunoo asked himself, pouting at his ridiculous thoughts. He really didn't need this extra stress, but he couldn't help but feel his stomach churn in worry.

He hadn't even thought of what Haneul's mom would be like. Would she be okay with Sunoo taking care of her son? Would she be upset and ask Sunoo to leave? Legally she couldn't because Sunoo was working under Heeseung, but what if Heeseung changed his mind and decided he didn't need Sunoo to take care of Haneul anymore?

The pink-haired teacher was so occupied with his thoughts that he hadn't even realised Heeseung had spoken to him until he felt a hand softly grabbing his own. Sunoo snapped his head to look at the older, his pout immediately turning into a shocked expression when he saw how endearingly Heeseung was staring at him.

"Is everything okay, darling?" He asked, offering Sunoo a soft smile making Sunoo's heart skip a beat the pet name and for a split second he completely forgot about his stubborn will to make Heeseung suffer and his lips upturned slightly into a small smile.

When he saw Heeseung's eyes widen at his expression, he immediately turned away and pulled his hand back to his lap, cursing at himself mentally. "You're seriously asking me that?" Sunoo muttered although it wasn't as harsh as he intended.

Heeseung was silent for a few seconds and Sunoo was worried the older would throw him out of the car, but instead, Heeseung just reached forward and gently grabbed Sunoo's hand again. The younger looked down at their intertwined hands as he heard Heeseung let out a sigh.

"I'm going to make everything better. I promise you." Heeseung said softly, and Sunoo couldn't even bare looking up at the older because he didn't want to fall again at the absolutely endearing look on Heeseung's face.

Sunoo was conflicted and didn't know whether to pull his hand away or not. He felt Heeseung's fingers gently squeeze his hand comfortingly and Sunoo couldn't bare to be the one to pull away. He didn't have to worry any longer as they finally arrived at the place where they were picking Haneul up from.

"We're at the residence, sir." The driver spoke from the front, and Sunoo was startled slightly, completely forgetting they were even there because of how quiet they were the whole time.

Heeseung didn't say anything, only bowing his head slightly in respect at the elderly driver as he unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the door to get out of the car. The pink-haired teacher was going to do the same but then he stopped himself and wondered if he was allowed to.

He didn't even know where they were, so would he be allowed to go out of the car?

Sunoo got his answer in seconds as his door was opened and he leaned back into the car slightly. A mop of green hair appeared in his vision followed by wide eyes and a small smile. "You can wait in the car if you want, I'll just get some things and then I'll be back with Haneul." There was something about Heeseung's tone that made it seem like Sunoo was supposed to stay in the car.

Deciding not to test the older, Sunoo just nodded stiffly and went back to sitting comfortably. Heeseung's lips upturned in a smile but he didn't say anything, opting to close the door and walk into the house instead.

It was uncomfortable for the few minutes Sunoo sat alone in the car with the driver up front remaining as silent as ever. The young teacher wasn't really sure the driver would make conversation with him if he decided to small talk, so he opted to remain silent.

Finally from the view of the window, Sunoo noticed the door to the building opening and out stepped three tall figures followed by a smaller person running out in front of them. Sunoo's eyes immediately widened when he saw the familiar little black-haired boy running towards the car with a wide smile on his lips.

"DDEONU!" Haneul screamed and giggled when Sunoo opened the door and caught the younger who jumped into his arms inside the car.

"Haneul!" Sunoo cooed and he hugged the little one in his arms tightly. The little boy snuggled into Sunoo's chest as the older nuzzled the top of the little boy's head.

"Ddeonu tickles." Haneul giggled and tried to escape the older's arms, to which Sunoo easily complied and let the young boy climb over him to sit in the middle seat of the car. Sunoo wasn't sure why there wasn't any booster seat for the younger, but he assumed Heeseung would hold Haneul in his lap so he shrugged the thought off.

He turned back at the doorway to see Heeseung talking with the two people he hadn't seen since the entire fiasco yesterday. Kei stood tall as he handed over a file to Heeseung and while Sunoo didn't exactly like the older, he had to admit Kei did seem to take things very seriously, especially concerning Haneul.

The pink-haired male's eyes immediately travelled to the third male standing with them, and his admirable expression turned to a grimace when he saw his ex, in his full glory, staring right at him. Sunoo was sure Niki could see his disgusted facial expression because the blonde-haired titan's expression became sheepish and apologetic.

Sunoo scoffed to himself and he was going to look away when he saw Niki begin tio approach him. Oh, God. Sunoo groaned mentally and he closed the door quickly, opting to roll down the window instead so the younger male could talk to him.

Niki stopped in front of the car, having to lean down quite a bit to become eye level with Sunoo who now had a hard glare on his face.

"Hey, Noo hyung." Niki greeted nonchalantly, a boyish smile on his lips. Sunoo frowned at the nickname he hadn't heard in a while and he felt even more annoyed at the absolute ignorance of Niki to come and speak to him like nothing was wrong.

"What do you want," Sunoo grumbled, louder than he intended because even Haneul had stopped babbling to himself to look over at the pink-haired teacher.

"Still so mean to me. I just wanted to say sorry." Niki huffed like a child. Sunoo would've found it cute if it wasn't for the fact that Niki was a cold-hearted cheater.

"For what?" Sunoo decided to amuse him.

"For yesterday. I realise you wouldn't have appreciated seeing me after the way things ended," Niki apologised sheepishly, but then he turned serious. "Also, I'm really sorry for the way I treated you all those years ago. I was a dick to you and I really regret ever hurting you."

Sunoo was slightly taken aback by the serious apology and he didn't know what to say. Out of all things he expected, he didn't expect an apology for Niki cheating on him. He was completely right about being a dick, but Sunoo was so stunned by the sudden development of Niki.

"Bad word, Kiki," Haneul said from beside Sunoo, shaking his little head disapprovingly and the tall blonde-haired male sheepishly bowed in apology to the baby.

The pink-haired male stared Niki down with a stern look, making sure the younger was being completely honest. He looked seconds away from bursting into tears and when he detected no lie in his words, he decided to put the blonde out of his misery.

"I accept your apology," Sunoo said and Niki let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank y-"

"But know that nothing can ever happen between us again," Sunoo realised he may have been a bit harsh, but he needed to draw boundaries as soon as possible. He held no hard feelings for the younger male now that he had received his apology, but he didn't think they could ever go back to being together, despite the fact that Sunoo was so in love with Niki he was going to marry him. The heartbreak of finding Niki cheating on him was too painful for him and he never wanted to feel that again.

"I understand. Can't we be friends, though? We'll see each other a lot now that you know about Heeseung hyung's job." Niki said and Sunoo thought about it for a second, realising that he wasn't too sure how Niki knew Heeseung either. Deciding that it wasn't that important at the moment, he just nodded lightly.

"I can live with that," Sunoo said with a blank face, although there was a slight teasing edge in his tone.

"What are you insinuating, Kim Sunoo-ssi?" Niki asked, matching the playfulness in Sunoo's tone.

"How can you accuse me of such a thing? I'm just a poor, innocent soul." Sunoo blinked a few times, playing along and Niki scoffed, going to reply again but a loud slam was suddenly heard from their right, making all three males jump.

Sunoo whipped his head to the side to see Heeseung sitting in the right-end seat next to Haneul. Sunoo and Niki stared at the green-haired male in shock for a few seconds, and Heeseung suddenly picked up Haneul and placed the younger in his lap while moving into the middle seat, right next to Sunoo.

"Let's go." Heeseung's voice rasped out, but there was a hint of frustration in his voice that made Sunoo feel jittery. Niki was confused and was about to say something again when Heeseung turned to stare at the blonde-haired male with one of the scariest glares Sunoo had ever seen.

"Move," Heeseung commanded, and Niki tilted his head to the side.

"Huh?-"

"Move away from the car. We're leaving now." Heeseung said again firmly, moving even closer to Sunoo. Niki watched as Heeseung leaned over and grabbed the belt from Sunoo's left side, leaning his face so close to the younger male's before leaning back and buckling the belt in and doing the same for himself and Haneul.

Niki finally got the hint and he gulped as he moved back from the car window, watching as it rolled up. Heeseung had a ghost of a smirk on his face, meanwhile, Sunoo was mentally cursing himself, trying to calm down his racing heart from having Heeseung's body so close to his own.

"Appa, let's go, let's go! Ddeonu let's go!" Haneul sang playfully, making Sunoo smile and ruffle the little one's hair while trying to ignore the bigger one's brooding eyes staring right into his soul.

"Do you know where we're going, bub?" The pink-haired male asked the little baby.

Haneul nodded, but then paused and shook his head. "I dunno." He huffed and turned around in Heeseung's lap to face the older male. "Appa, where are we going?" He asked.

Heeseung brushed Haneul's soft black hair back with his hands as he smiled softly at his adorable son. "We're going to go see your mother," Heeseung said, and Sunoo saw the way the mafia boss's eye twitched slightly at the mention of Haneul's mom.

Sunoo didn't know why he felt upset at the mention of Haneul's mom, because he knew he had no right to feel upset about it. He just couldn't help the feeling of dread wash over his body at the way Haneul beamed at the mention of his mom.

"EOMMA!" Haneul cheered. He turned to Sunoo and grabbed the pink-haired male's hand, shocking Sunoo momentarily.

"Eomma is going to be best friends with Ddeonu." Haneul giggled. Sunoo tilted his head at the statement, not expecting to hear those words from the younger. What did Haneul mean by that? He was sure Haneul was too young to understand the concept of sarcasm, so he definitely meant it.

"But Ddeonu is my best friend first." The little baby made a noise of annoyance and he pulled Sunoo's hand and put his arm around it as if Sunoo was going to leave. The pink-haired teacher wanted to laugh at Haneul's adorable antics, but all he could focus on at that moment was how insanely close Heeseung was to him right now.

He could feel Heeseung's eyes on his rapidly heating face and the entire side of his body was pressed into the mafia boss's side since Haneul kept pulling Sunoo closer to him. Heeseung seemed amused by the entire situation, watching with glee as Sunoo let out an annoyed huff, having no choice but to deal with the close proximity so he could talk to Heeseung's babbling son.

----------------------

After an entire car ride of Haneul rambling about how his favourite kpop group's latest comeback, Sunoo groaning at the feeling of Heeseung's extremely warm body pressed into his side, and Heeseung smirking in amusement at the pretty teacher's reactions, they finally arrived at Haneul's mother's house.

As soon as the car stopped and they were let out, Sunoo lept out from his seat and inhaled the fresh air deeply, trying to calm his erratic heart. "You ready, darling?" Heeseung asked as he stepped in close to Sunoo's side with Haneul wrestling Heeseung's leg.

Sunoo glanced down at Haneul and giggled slightly before nodding at Heeseung, feeling a bit more reassured now that the little ball of sunshine was with them. If he was alone with Heeseung he wasn't sure he'd be able to compose himself.

Heeseung already had a key to the house, and he opened the door and let them inside. Haneul scurried from Heeseung's side to latch onto Sunoo, pulling the pink-haired man's arm and intertwining his little finger's with Sunoo's larger ones.

They stepped into the lovely home, and the pink-haired teacher felt a bit better knowing that it wasn't some dump Heeseung had found. Moreover, he was still surprised Haneul's mother agreed to let them live here with her, so he mentally made a note to thank her.

Heeseung led them towards the entrance of the living room and the pink-haired male followed behind him, with Haneul's small hand in his own as the little boy seemed to bounce around the place. He seemed just as lost as Sunoo was, so he had suspicions that Haneul had never actually been here before. Had Haneul met his mother often? Did he even know his mother?

Heeseung stopped abruptly and Sunoo, being lost in his thoughts, bumped into the older, letting out a small 'oomf'. Haneul giggled from Sunoo's side while Sunoo huffed and tried to see why Heeseung had stopped walking.

Sunoo's eyes went wide the moment they landed on the two women on the couch, one of them with bright blonde hair on top of another with firey red hair. Her shirt was slightly unbuttoned whereas the other woman was only in lingerie. Sunoo immediately stepped in front of Haneul, blocking the little ones' sight from the two women who were passionately kissing, still not noticing the guests in their home.

What was it with Sunoo and Haneul walking in on gay people making out? The pink-haired teacher was still frozen in shock and he glanced at Heeseung, hoping the older would know how to defuse the situation.

"I swear to fucking god, why are you always fucking fornicating whenever I come over? You think I want to see your gross dýke shit?!" Heeseung scoffed loudly in annoyance, and Sunoo's jaw almost dropped open as he rushed to cover Haneul's ears.

This seemed to grab their attention as they both turned and looked at Heeseung. The blonde one immediately got off the couch (and the other girl) as her wide eyes turned into an infuriated glare full of rage.

"HOW FUCKING DARE YOU!" The woman suddenly yelled, having buttoned up her shirt fully as he began stomping towards Heeseung with nothing but murder in her mind.

Sunoo was shocked at the loud profanity but he immediately grabbed Haneul and turned the boy around to face the doorway when he saw the woman throw a punch across Heeseung's face.

"NO ONE ASKED YOUR FUGLY ASS TO COME OVER AND BOTHER US! WHY THE FUCK EVEN ARE YOU HERE, TWINK?" She screamed at Heeseung.

"THE FUCK DID YOU JUST CALL ME, BITCHTITS? I WILL KILL YOU AND YOUR FUCKING GIRLFRIEND IF YOU DON'T TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW!" Heeseung threatened as he held his nose which was bleeding again after the moments from the night before.

"FUCKING TRY ME, DICKWEED! I'LL KILL YOU AND ALL YOUR LITTLE WANKER FRIENDS!" She shouted as she grabbed the collar of Heeseung's shirt. Sunoo's eyes were fully blown wide at the colourful language of the two, and he prayed to the heavens above that Haneul couldn't hear what they were saying.

"What is daddy screaming, Ddeonu?" Haneul's small voice said amidst the shouting while trying to turn back around, but Sunoo firmly held him in place.

"One second, bub, daddy is just joking around," Sunoo explained as calmly as possible and he kept his palms flat against Haneul's ears as he looked back over to the now fighting pair as another crash was heard.

When he looked back, he saw that the woman with red hair was now also involved in the fight, and she was grabbing the lamp from the stand and rushing over to Heeseng with it hoisted high in the air.

"I TOLD YOU I'D KILL THIS PISSFLAP IF I EVER SAW HIM AGAIN!" She shouted and was about to slam the lamp over Heeseung's head, but the older male quickly pushed the blonde woman away from him and rolled away just in time.

"FOR FUCKS SAKE, CALM DOWN, I'M NOT GOING TO FUCKING HURT YOU!" Heeseung screamed from his place behind the couch.

"WELL, I WILL, YOU FUCKING SHITSTAIN!" The blonde shouted and she looked like she was going to jump Heeseung again. Sunoo noticed Haneul flinch at the volume of their voices and that's when he realised it was time to intervene.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Sunoo screamed and he sent a deathly glare at Heeseung who immediately became sheepish when he noticed the two fluffy pink boys standing in the doorway.

It was finally at this moment that the two women noticed his and Haneul's presence, and it would've been funny to Sunoo if he wasn't already stressed, seeing how their eyes widened comically and their jaws dropped.

"Haneul?" The red-haired woman asked as she stepped closer, and the way her voice got a pitch higher showed immediately how embarrassed she was.

"For god's sake, there's a child here! Please, behave." Sunoo said sternly, using the same voice he would whenever a child was purposefully saying something rude or bullying another student.

The blonde-haired woman seemed to recognise him and she tilted her head to the side before grabbing the red-haired woman's arm and pulling her in to whisper something. The red-haired woman turned back to Sunoo with a curious expression but before any of them could say anything, Heeseung walked out from his place behind the sofa and stood next to Sunoo protectively.

"This is Sunoo, he's Haneul's caretaker. He's with me, so don't even think about touching him." Heeseung said firmly, and Sunoo couldn't help the slight blush on his face at Heeseung's words while the two women's jaws fell open again.

"HEESEUNG FINALLY GOT BITCHES?!"

Chapter Text

----------------------

"What do you mean 'finally'? I'm such a catch," Heeseung huffed in offence, watching as the two women looked at each other before laughing at him.

"Of course, you're such a dreamboat." The blonde-haired woman said as she rolled her eyes. Sunoo looked between the two women and then back at Heeseung, still very unsure about how to react to the whole situation

"Shut up, Ryujin," Heeseung scoffed and turned to grab Haneul's hand in his own. Heeseung looked into Sunoo's eyes with a slight smirk and the younger male immediately knew what the older was going to do.

"We've come to live with you," Heeseung announced proudly, and the second the words left his lips, all hell broke loose.

"EX-FUCKING-SCUSE ME!?!?"

"THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY??"

"Please stop swearing around the child." Sunoo groaned and the two women paused to look at him again.

"You look familiar." The red-haired woman said as she stared at Sunoo with her piercing eyes. She resembled a cat in a way, and oddly enough, Sunoo thought she looked kind of cute.

The blonde-haired woman gasped loudly as she seemed to have realised. "Oh my god, he looks like Chaer!" She said, and Sunoo froze at the nickname.

"What did just say?" Sunoo asked in shock. It had been so long since he had last heard that name.

"You're Chaer's little brother, aren't you?" The blonde woman, Ryujin, asked and Sunoo tilted his head to the side in confusion. "Ddeonu? Seonwoo? What was it?"

Sunoo couldn't help the way his heart began to race at the fact that these two women knew who he was. "Yeah, I am, Sunoo. You two are..." He asked, not recalling ever meeting these two in his life.

"We're her friends. She used to live here with us." The red-haired woman explained and Sunoo let out a sound of understanding.

"You must be Yeji-ssi, then?" Sunoo asked gently and the red-haired woman nodded happily. He remembered his older sister telling him about her two roommates and he vaguely remembered the name

"In the flesh." She joked, her eyes turning into crescents when she smiled and Sunoo found the sight absolutely adorable.

"We have more important things to worry about right now," Heeseung exclaimed, earning a groan from the two women.

"Shut up, Sunoo is more important than you right now." Yeji huffed and Heeseung's eyes narrowed dangerously at her. He seemed like he was going to pull a gun out from his vest but he refrained from doing so, instead inhaling deeply and grabbing Haneul and lifting his son into his arms.

"Darling, do you want to come look around with me?" Heeseung asked Sunoo, ignoring the way the couple was glaring at him for blatantly ignoring them.

"Actually, we wanna speak to Sunoo first," Ryujin began but Heeseung cut her off.

"I wasn't talking to you." He growled and Ryujin flipped him off.

"I think I'm going to stay here and speak to them first," Sunoo said, trying to ignore the way Heeseung was staring into his soul. It was silent for a few moments and Heeseung let out a sigh, as he walked up to the pink-haired boy.

"I'm going to go put Haneul's things in one of your rooms," Heeseung announced as he gently pat the back of Sunoo's soft pink hair. The teacher wanted to ask if he could help in any way, but Ryujin suddenly surged forward and grabbed Sunoo's forearm.

"Great, Yeji and I will get to know Sunoo in the meantime." Ryujin smiled evilly and Heeseung stared at where their arms were interlocked as a small frown appeared on his lips. He didn't say anything only glaring at the blonde woman before turning around and taking Haneul up the stairs hand in hand.

Haneul turned back and gave Sunoo a wave with his little hand, however, the pink-haired male noticed a mischievous look in the younger's eyes that had him titling his head questioningly.

"Come sit." Yeji beckoned Sunoo over to the couches in the middle of the living room and Sunoo nodded politely as he took a seat, gnawing on his bottom lip slightly. He hoped this would go well and that Heeseung would hopefully return home quickly.

----------------------

"You want a hit, kid?" Ryujin asked as she held the cigarette in front of Sunoo's face. The pink-haired teacher gave her a soft smile as he shook his head, earning an amused one from Ryujin.

"Suit yourself." She sing-songed and Yeji tutted as she mumbled a passive-aggressive 'be nice' to her.

It was silent for a few seconds and Sunoo awkwardly fiddled with his fingers. He desperately hoped Heeseung would come back because he didn't know how much longer he could bare being around the intimidating woman.

If Heeseung was scary when he first met the older male, these two were twenty times as scary. From Yeji's bright red hair that shone brighter than Jake's ever did, to the long tattoos that ran down Ryujin's arms - Sunoo gulped as he tried not to stare too long at the two gorgeous intimidating women.

"How are you, Sunoo-ah?" Yeji spoke up first, startling Sunoo slightly because he wasn't expecting the soft tone.

"I've been- I'm doing alright," Sunoo offered a smile. "How are you two?" he asked and mentally cursed himself as to how awkward he sounded. Ryujin barked a laugh at his awkwardness, making him even more flustered while Yeji whacked the younger woman's arm.

"Don't be nervous Sunoo, we don't bite." Ryujin giggled as she blew out a puff of smoke. Sunoo just laughed awkwardly and nodded his head. It was silent between them again as he could feel Yeji's sharp eyes analysing his every mood.

He sat as stiffly as possible, trying to think of something to say but the only thing he could think of was asking them how she ever ended up sleeping with Heeseung. Sunoo was aware Heeseung definitely wasn't straight, but seeing the lesbian couple in front of him, he was bewildered as to how everything had happened.

"Um, I have a question." He said and they both turned and looked at him with curious eyes. Sunoo looked at Ryujin with a slight hesitance in his eyes as he tried not to let his nervousness show on his face. He cleared his throat slightly to calm himself before he spoke.

"How did you and Heeseung..." He began and he gnawed on his bottom lip as he tried to gauge Ryujin's reaction.

"How did me and Heeseung?...."

Sunoo gulped heavily as he barely whispered out the next few words.

"How did you and Heeseung end up having sex?"

The older woman stared at him in silence for a second before bursting into laughter, leaving the younger blushing.

"Oh my, how are you so adorable? No wonder Heeseung likes you." Ryujin smirked as she took another hit of her cigarette. Sunoo was sure he was bright red by now, hating how the comment made his heart flutter.

"Well, to answer your question, that green-haired grump and I were drunk out of our minds and somehow ended up fucking." Ryujin scoffed as she let out a puff of smoke. "A few weeks later I found out I was pregnant. I never wanted to have a kid, but after a while, I didn't hate the thought. I still don't think I am responsible or ready enough to take care of one. But anyways, back then I definitely wasn't, which is why I gave the responsibility to Heeseung." She explained and Sunoo was slightly shocked at the confession. He could completely understand Ryujin not wanting to have a child, but he was shocked that Heeseung willingly took responsibility.

"It was a dick move, I admit because I dumped the entire responsibility on him. But you should've seen his face then, Sunoo-ah - he was over the moon the moment he laid eyes on his kid. He couldn't hide the overflowing endearment and love he had for Haneul, and I knew at that moment that I would never be able to give Haneul the same amount of love." Ryujin explained, feeling Yeji place a hand over her own and she grabbed her lover's hand, squeezing it reassuringly.

"I owe Heeseung my life for that because if he hadn't accepted Haneul, that little ball of sunshine wouldn't be here today." Ryujin sighed. Sunoo felt his heart ache at the thought of the little child not being in his life. But once again, he didn't blame Ryujin at all for whatever decision she made- she had been given such a huge responsibility without ever wanting it.

"So you know, despite the fact that I can't stand Heeseung's guts, he's a genuinely good man and I don't regret giving full responsibility to Heeseung. He truly loves his son." Ryujin smiled softly. "And if it weren't for Heeseung, I wouldn't have met the love of my life either." She smirked at the red-haired woman next to her, watching Yeji roll her eyes as she threw an arm around her shoulder.

"You know, when I was in the hospital, a disgusting doctor molested me right after I gave birth. Though I don't agree with most of Heeseung's ways, I was never more thankful in my life when he shot that piece of shit in front of me. Besides, if he hadn't killed that doctor, I would have killed that man myself." Ryujin grimaced as she recalled the memory. The pink-haired boy agreed with what Ryujin had said about not agreeing with most of Heeseung's ways, but he thought so highly of Heeseung for saving Ryujin from that horrible man.

"I'm really sorry you had to go through all that. I couldn't even imagine how hard it must've been to wake up and find out your pregnant without ever wanting to be." Sunoo spoke honestly and he watched the way the two women's eyes softened as they smiled at him.

"Don't stress about it. It's all in the past and Haneul is so much better of with Heeseung than me. Besides, I guess it's only right to let them stay here after how much he's done for me. Although I will say, he needs to work on his communication skills instead of showing up unannounced," Ryujin chuckled.

Sunoo felt so much lighter now, the worrisome feeling lifting off of his shoulders immediately. There was a comfortable silence between them as Sunoo thought back to the moments prior and he internally winced at the rude things Heeseung had said to the couple. He reached forward, grabbing the two women's attention and he bowed his head down in an apology to them.

"I'm also really sorry about what Heeseung said. It wasn't right of him to say make such offensive comments about you." Sunoo apologised and Ryujin and Yeji looked at each other in confusion before they immediately grabbed Sunoo and lifted him up to stand upright as they ruffled his hair.

"What a sweetheart!" Ryujin laughed. "You don't have to apologise for the lesbophobic shit that idiot says. While it is wrong and annoying as fuck, he doesn't really mean anything by it."

"Although I think a whooping would do him some good," Yeji smirked and Sunoo felt shivers run down his spine at her smile. "That'll teach him not to be an arse every time he opens his mouth."

There was something about her tone that made it obvious to the young teacher that she wasn't joking. Sunoo giggled at that, immediately deciding that he really liked these two. They were so sweet and he didn't know why he didn't bother meeting up with them before. He was so glad his sister had such kind friends to support her, just like he had his two idiotic friends that were always there for him no matter what.

Thinking of his sister, Sunoo smiled sadly as he decided to finally bring up the one thing he had been meaning to ask them. "Have you guys gone to visit noona?" He asked in a small voice, feeling a hand grabbing onto his shoulder and squeezing it comfortably.

"We have.," Yeji said gently to the younger. Sunoo inhaled deeply, as a bittersweet smile appeared on his lips. "Chaeryeongie's going to be okay, Sunoo-ah."

"I hope so. It's been so long." He muttered sadly.

Yeji and Ryujin both went quiet as their hearts ached for the boy in front of them. They had some idea of how hard things must have been for Sunoo since the day Chaeryeong had run to them and asked for a place to stay. She would constantly talk about her younger brother and how she desperately wished for her brother to join them because of how toxic and homophobic his parents were.

Chaeryeong had told Ryujin and Yeji that she wanted to go visit her younger brother when she heard he had been kicked out of the house, but she was unfortunately caught up in an accident on her motorbike with a speeding driver. Sunoo hadn't even been able to talk to her sister after he was kicked out because the first thing he had been notified of was the fact that she was in a critical condition in hospital, and now she was in comatose.

"You know, we can take you to visit her if you want. I'm taking it that green-haired asshole hasn't let you go since you've been with him." Ryujin exclaimed, taking another hit of her cigarette.

"Oh- we're not together like that." Sunoo held up his hands defensively, but Ryujin and Yeji gave each other a knowing look as a light pink dusted Sunoo's cheeks.

"Sure." Yeji chided, her intense cat-like eyes narrowing at him.

"But I will take up your offer on going to see her. It's been far too long." Sunoo said and at that moment he heard Heeseung and Haneul coming down the stairs. The little pitter-patter of Haneul's feet against the floorboards made a small smile appear on his lips.

"Ddeonu!" Haneul squealed as he climbed onto the pink-haired boy's lap. Sunoo unconsciously looked at Ryujin to try and gauge her reaction, but he was somewhat shocked to see her smirking at him.

He tilted his head to the side questioningly as they made eye contact, only to gasp in shock when he felt someone sit down next to him and pull him closer by an arm around his shoulders. The young teacher snapped his head to the side and tried not to freak out when he saw the intense glare on Heeseung's face followed by the way the older male was practically pressed up against his side.

"What are you guys talking about?" He asked in a firm voice, but the two women seemed completely unfazed by his aggressive behaviour.

"None of your business, dickwad." Ryujin snapped and Sunoo mentally groaned as he tried to cover Haneul's ears again.

"We were actually about to discuss where you guys will be staying and for how long. As you know, we obviously don't have enough food or necessities for four adults and a child, so we'll have to make a list of things we need to buy." Yeji exclaimed, and Sunoo was once again taken aback by her quick-wittedness.

She reminded him of Jungwon in a way, from the leader-like personality she had that screamed authority.

"You have three rooms." Heeseung pointed out.

"Really? Did you notice?" Ryujin snapped and Heeseung glared at her, rubbing the side of Sunoo's forearm. As much as Sunoo felt intimidated by the sudden hold that the mafia boss had on him, he couldn't deny how hot his entire body felt at how Heeseung was possessively holding him.

"I want my own room!" Haneul piped up, which further proved to Sunoo that he had been listening to their conversation the whole time.

"Great, Yeji and I will keep our room, Heeseung and Haneul in one room and Sunoo in the other?" Ryujin asked, but it seemed more like a statement as her tone meant it was not up for discussion.

"Actually Haneul will get his own room. He's growing up and needs to learn how to be more independent." Heeseung piped up, challenging Ryujin. The blonde woman blankly stared at him, clearly knowing what game he was playing.

"But then you'll have to share with me-" Sunoo began to object as he turned to Heeseung but froze when he saw the mischievous look in his eyes.

"You were the one that said he needed his own room, did you not? Besides, there are only three rooms and I don't want to share with those two fornicators." Heeseung smirked and Sunoo mentally groaned.

"You say that as if you aren't a whore yourself." Ryujin snapped back.

"Whore?" Haneul repeated as he tilted his head to the side with wide curious eyes. Sunoo groaned out loud this time, standing up with the baby in his arms.

"I'm going to go unpack," Sunoo exclaimed and he did not look at Heeseung to see his reaction, because he knew that he would've given in immediately and sat back down if he saw the stricken look on his face now that he had left his arms.

"That's fine, we'll talk to Heeseung for a bit and then we'll all go out for food later since there's nothing at home." Yeji smiled warmly, her eyes turning into crescents and Sunoo found himself mirroring her expression.

"Thank you," Sunoo exclaimed genuinely to the couple as he went upstairs with the little boy who was making fighting noises and whacking Sunoo's arms playfully. The pink-haired teacher rolled his eyes fondly at the younger and let out a sigh when his eyes landed on the mountain of boxes in his room now.

Well- his and Heeseung's room.

Oh god, Sunoo thought to himself. How was he going to survive being in the same room as the older male? He had done it before but now there was this tension between them that made Sunoo want to cry both out of fear and also out of pleasure.

He was not looking forward to this.
