Chapter Text
Jaehyun was stressed out. After the deed was done, he had rushed home to his six year old son. The boy had fallen ill just after Jaehyun had gotten the call from his father to meet him. He had been reluctant to leave, but his father demanded he be there. Jaehyun rushed to take his clothes off and wash the blood off his hands only to realize that his face is covered in it as well. He could hear Jeno crying in the other room and hurried to clean up so he could tend to the sick child. Jeno's nanny was there, but Jaehyun needed to be there regardless. The last thing Jaehyun wanted was to be an absent father, like how his own father had been during his childhood and early teenage years.
"I can take him," he said when he walked into the room, reaching his arms out to take his son from the nanny. She looked at Jaehyun, unsure if she should hand Jeno over. The young woman knew what Jaehyun was, what he had done, but she never said a word. After a moments hesitation she handed Jeno to his father and said to call out to her if he needed anything. "Don't worry, I got this." Jaehyun was confident, holding his crying boy close to his chest. "It's okay baby, daddy's here," he whispered to his son as he rocked him. Jeno eventually calmed down and fell asleep in his father's arms.
In the other end of town was another six year old boy. He had been hiding in his special hiding spot his mother had pushed him in, handed him his stuffed toy and told him to be quiet. He had heard shouting, glass breaking and screaming. The small boy had been unable to keep his promise to his mom and left the safety of the small room and ventured out into the hallway. He heard his mother crying, begging for the intruders to stop what they were doing, to spare their lives. The boy watched from the stairway as his parents were brutally murdered. At the time he hadn't understood what was going on, and when the people had left the six year old ventured downstairs. "Mommy?" he called out for his mom, but there was no answer.
When the police arrived at the scene the young boy was found drenched in his parents' blood, crying his eyes out.
