@--guardian The request of Junmyeon's really made Baekhyun taken aback, leading the corner of his lips really made him caught off-guard by he sudden intrusion yet the younger didn't mind. If that was the way his daddy showing his affection with then might as well Baekhyun tried to get used to it or he won't be able to feel Junmyeon's certain affections toward him. Drinking his water, the brunette has now placed the tall glass down on the table where it was properly placed earlier before he take an action of sliding off from his seat, only to be lead to the beautiful looking backyard where he could see the wide opened cage with a puppy on it; a welsh corgi? Baekhyun was more than sure that it was a corgi. With that short legs, it must have been corgi, no doubt on it. He liked corgi anyways so it won't be a troubke for the petite male to tame the aloof pet.

"M..mong.. Mongry- yong?" The brunette found himself frowning due to the name of the pet. It was more than enough to complicated the whole purpose of him to meet the puppy. The name was such a hard one for Baekhyun to even memorized. Yet by then, when he found out that the corgi was cutely went for Junmyeon, he expects a growl by the time he looked at the current guest, Baekhyun. What are most unrealistic that rather heading towards the elder, the brunette found the puppy barks in excitement under him as he gripping the fabric of his pants that making Baekhyun fallen over the cuteness that Mongryong has displayed in front of him. "Cute Nyoni.. who says that you're scually (scary)?" Cooing the small puppy, Baekhyun has then situated himself to sit with his legs crossed as he plays and caressing towards his soft fur while laughing at the happiness that the corgi has shown him.

@absinthe Hearing the soft giggle finally makes Junmyeon at ease again as it's warming his heart in so many ways. He enjoys this about Baekhyun already and he gets a feeling that he will never be able to share this with others even when he die later on. Kim Junmyeon is greedy and now that it comes to Byun Baekhyun, one will never be able to surpass his greed. That is what he's sure of because Baekhyun is his. As much as he stated that in his mind today, he still wants to state it again. Baekhyun is his and his alone. He even made a mental note to out a restriction of bonding with Baekhyun at some point. Will it be too much? Kim Junmyeon does not care.

After the younger is finish with his meal, Junmyeon wipes the corner of that square-smiling lips oh so lovingly with a smile. "Good job, Baekhyunnie.. now drink and let's go to meet mongryong. But don't go to close hm? He might bite.." the older warns slightly as he stands up and calls for the ahjumma to clean the table. Then he grabs Baekhyun's hand gently and leads the boy to where the puppy's place is situated. "Mongryong!! Mongryong come to daddy!"

@--guardian Towards the kiss on his tiny pinky finger, the brunette unknowingly letting out a small giggle. Baekhyun knew that Junmyeon was serious on his promise that both of them agreed with until he interlocks both of their pinkies together hence the elder would have his pinky to be cut whenever he draw a lie or two, even more when he broke the promise and treating it like an empty promise. The young boy was more than satisfied towards the action of his beloved daddy, the Kim Ttoonmyoon that he called thousands of time by today. He wasn't even sure as well by the time that he wanted to be parting with Junmyeon in particular when he met and found someone to shared all of his laughters and sadness with nor when his daddy found someone else rather than him which made Baekhyun thinks that no one should steal Junmyeon away from him. No one.

"Yes daddy Ppaekhyoon wants to suii (see) the puppy!! Puppy wait for Ppaekhyooni!!" Reminded of the pet Junmyeon has, the young boy then finally snapped and tries to eat as fast and careful as he could. It only takes approximately ten minutes to finished all of the dishes and once Baekhyun has done, he then take a brief look on the elder with excitement filling his innocent puppy like eyes; all glistering in anticipation as he wait for Junmyeon to lead him off on where they keep their aloof pet in.

@absinthe Junmyeon is fast on his fingers as he links his pinky with that of Baekhyun's free hand and kiss the link fingers gently with a smile. It's a gesture he believes the most since he was a child. The gesture that he holds to himself to have his own magic effect on his life. Because his mother didn't kiss the pinky promise once and later that night, she left for convenient store across the street and never came back. Since then he insists on kissing them until he's in the last year of high school. And today, he did it again as to assure both him and the newly lovely boy in front of him.

"Daddy promise, Baekhyun. Cross my heart, hope to die.." again, his usual chant as he makes a promise. He will never break this one, not even when the whole world is against him and Baekhyun. Because Baekhyun is his responsibility from the moment his father assigned the boy to be under him. He never messed up his father's order before so he will never mess up this one. He will do a perfect job, beyond perfect to be honest since this boy has hold all of him since Junmyeon first hear his cry. "Now eat the food all hm? Don't you want to meet puppy fast?"

@--guardian It was minutes that Baekhyun has been silenced by Junmyeon's sudden news. For once, the brunette was shaken on the fact that he would be left by his very own daddy, he didn't know on what to do in all particularly. He found out that every farewells are indeed painful yet this particular ones would his parting with Junmyeon though he wasn't exactly close towards the elder to be hard; unexpected things happened here and there as Baekhyun made himself back and forth, while entire live on topsy turvy. The young boy didn't know what to do nor to think, his head is too small to think up such a big enlightment towards himself; he was devastated, he can't possibly letting his grip on Junmyeon easily. Call him selfish but he doesn't want his daddy to go, not without his beloved Baekhyun ever.

"Promish (promise) daddy?" Promise was such a big words that has to be held by someone responsible and the brunette was surely about that Junmyeon was a responsible person that can be taken care of his promises and not be able to think of a white lie to ignore the fact that he's drowned in the sea of guilt.

@absinthe 'Okay what is scually..? Think Junmyeon think' for a long time after he graduates from his studies, Junmyeon actually thinks so hard. He practically analyzes Baekhyun's every move to actually figure the word out and when he gets what the boy means, he slaps himself mentally. "Scary..? Are they scary for Baekhyunnie?" Junmyeon asks gently towards the younger lad. When the boy looks down with a pout, Junmyeon finds himself pulling his chair closer and wraps his arm around the boy's shoulder gently and rubs his arm. He gets a feeling that this boy will have a hard time parting with him later on and he too, will face the same thing.

"Well..if you are scared, daddy will only go to work with those friends when Baekhyunnie is sleeping hm? And daddy will be back even before Baekhyun's eyes are open. Okay?" He says comfortingly as he pecks the boy's temple on instinct and pats his back gently. It's as if the peck never happens as he watches the boy eat in silence and think of ways to get him used to this house and at the same time protect him from anything that makes him scared out of his wits

@--guardian When the old maid response towards Baekhyun, he couldn't get happier because of the maid was nicely treating him. It was the first time that he heard someone saying his name right, he is truly thankful by the elder for understanding him and give the typical of affection that Junmyeon nor any dfather would. Excited to see the puppy, the brunette found himself nodding towards the maid's word as he gave himself another spoonful of the food that she has made whilst his daddy makes a conversation that goes to the maid, or perhaps in all honestly the younger wasn't fond of the whole telepathy enviorenment he lived in; the way the maid respond towards Junmyeon without him stating a word or two really confuses him and it upsets Baekhyun somehow as in he couldn't really understands them well enough.

".. Is that means daddy will leave Ppaekhyooni alone wis (with) your scually (scary) friends? B-but daddy," at the sudden information from Junmyeon, Baekhyun happiness has been died, replaced by the mere pout that he has as he sadly look over his food and eats his feelings out. Imagining the whole day without his beloved daddy's protection really frightened Baekhyun, he wants to go with his daddy, tailing him like a good puppy; he doesn't want to be apart with Junmyeon, even when time begs them to. A flat big no would be the answer from the brunette.

@absinthe Since it's not the first time the ahjumma is handling children -because she has been with Junmyeon since the beginning- so she's quick in understanding whatever Baekhyun is saying. "You're welcome Baekhyun ah.. eat a lot so young master will bring the puppy to you okay? And you can play lots later" she says warmly making Junmyeon turns to her with his confused face. Knowing exactly that the young master is bewildered on how she gets even to Baekhyun name in one shot, the maid smiles warmly and bows to her master gracefully. "You were like that too, Young Master. Now if you excuse me.." she says as she makes her way back to the kitchen, leaving Junmyeon still in confusion.

But when he hears the ringing voice by his side, he turns to look at the owner and smiles, ruffling his hair with his gentle touch. "Yummy right? Ahjumma has always been the best cook in the house. So next time Baekhyunis hungry and daddy's not home, just go to ahjumma hm? Ahujumma likes Baekhyunnie already." He says lightly while pushing the food near Baekhyun so he won't spill anything. He knows exactly that his ahjumma will attract anyone wither food like it's her charm. And Junmyeon is thankful for that because he has no mother growing up and she's the only mother figure in the house. He hopes that Baekhyun will be able to share the same feeling as him for he'll be needing a woman's touch around him some time later in life. The house is full of man smell and he figures that Baekhyun is too fragile for that. So at least with ahjumma, he can be himself and breaks down if Junmyeon is not home.

@--guardian To say dissapointment of the delay, it was all true especially when Junmyeon starts to stare directly through his orbs, making Baekhyun finally stopped his movement; small cute pout finally took its place towards his face. The brunette often facing problems, such as waiting for something or to delay something – Baekhyun was not liked to be surprised or waiting for something, it was his weak side yet Junmyeon has made him escape his misery by now by mentioning the arrival of the food; making him twinkle in excitement hat his visualization went on what he has expected, forgetting the fact that a sulky pout were there on his face a while ago.

"Ppaekhyooni will eat a lot becaush puppy is waithing (waititng). tangs (thanks) ahjjuma!" Once again, with his bright energy, he let his voice ringing loudly, making sure that the old maid heard his gratitude properly before taking the spoon that was on the latter's hold; scooping the fried rice along with the kimchi before he scoops the soup and the fried chiken. Baekhyun's eyes are now formed into round ones by the time he got to taste all of the dishes. It was heaven, more than satisfying to be mentioned.

@absinthe Junmyeon chuckles seeing the excitement in Baekhyun, making him believe that he made the right decision not to include the smaller into the hellish training. That would be hard for the innocent boy in every way so yeah he's glad. He knows how harsh his people could be since he had visited the place of training before. His father really takes it so far, for the little boys before this had turned to become beastly right after they're out of the training. If it's a nightmare even for him, Baekhyun would be suffering in there. So yeah. He's glad.

Junmyeon holds Baekhyun's shoulder gently and puts the boy in place gently as he smiles. "No puppy until Baekhyun has finished eating okay? Look.. the food is here already." He says and as if on cue, the maids bring foods down for the young master and his son. The dishes are simple -kimchi fried rice with fried chicken and some vegetable soup at the side-, exactly like Junmyeon remembers to be his most eaten food during his growing years. After they place it all down, Junmyeon thank them and gives the spoon to Baekhyun. "Eat a lot him? We will meet the puppy later on.." Junmyeon says as he smiles and fixes Baekhyun's hair gently with his fingers, as if adoring the boy, which is true.

@--guardian Listening towards Junmyeon's summary of the information that he just gave the latter, the brunette found himself nodding towards each question-like statement. Baekhyun was happy nevertheless because his daddy understood him, not like what most people does; making fun of his pronounciation or the fact he was talking in the third speech rather than first. He has such a bad childhood yet his brightness and innocence was more than able to cover up those bad terms he had with all sorts of people by he was merely as a fetus and growing up in that kind environment. However, looking back towards his past, no one tried hard to understands him like Junmyeon did; it made the younger felt happy and touched in the mixture of confusion on why would he tried so hard to pay attention to him and his words. Why didn't Junmyeon treat him the same as everyone would to him? Questions starts to fill his brain; he feels devastated by the upcoming unsolved questions.

"Puppy?" As if he hit the jackpot, Baekhyun could only widening his puppy eyes while bright atmosphere was created all around his body. Ever since younf, the brunette enjoys looking after animals, especially puppies and by then his parents decided to took him to the nearest Puppy Cafe which filled with bunch of cute various little puppy running around and barking all excitedly. "Ppaekhyooni wants to suii (see) the puppy, daddy!!" The eager boy then guddily jumping his on the plushy dining chair; wanting to see the particular puppy at all cost even when daddy says it was an aloof little puppy.

@absinthe Just when Baekhyun opens his mouth, Junmyeon finds himself focusing his all on the boy. It's as if he's determine to get this all in one try and not making the boy upset again. Even though he has never felt what it's like to have a lisp, he knows how it feels when people don't understand him. After Baekhyun had state everything, the black haired male nods as he tries to consume everything ever so seriously like when he's doing his calculations and clears his throat before speaking. "So here's what daddy got. Baekhyun is ten..right? And daddy's Baekhyunnie likes w..white. Is daddy correct?" He asks gently while his hands are now off of the younger's cheeks and transfered to his hands on his laps lightly. While caressing Baekhyun's hand, he smiles gently.

"Well then.. daddy is 25 years old. Daddy is old right? Hehe and daddy likes black colour. But..since Baekhyun likes bright colours, daddy will try and like them too hm?" Junmyeon assures his boy gently as not to scare him. If there's one thing Junmyeon learned from his father's thug business, it's gaining trust. And giving his information about himself to Baekhyun seems to be the best way to gain the boy's trust. "Oh and daddy has a puppy. Nut he is really really scary and unfriendly even though he's small.. Wanna meet him?"

@--guardian The appearance of an old maid interest Baekhyun is many ways more than one and how calming, gentle and steady Junmyeon's voice is whom was different from what he usually use with those scary friends of the other; cold and strict tone has been used by the time he encounter his man which it made Baekhyun often asks to himself if his daddy would use that scary tone and expression whenever he did bad or dissapoint him. He was scared, frightened but from what he knows, Junmyeon wouldnmt dare to do such things without any particular reason and it makes the brunette wanting to give the elder the best that he could whilst trying to cover his flaws to be seen by anyone, especially in front of his daddy; the best daddy he could ever asks for. It doesn't get any better when his daddy maintaining his kind self towards the elder, it made Baekhyun feel reasured from time to time by seeing the mere relation and conversation that they both shared in the mansion.

Some things happened in a blink of an eye, all that he could possibly remembered was when Junmyeon's warm palm cupping both of his cheeks, pressing them down as he caressing the chubby flesh while throwing questions that could actually made Baekhyun thinks hard – and he was right, "Ppaekhyoon's tenh (ten) yeash (years) old. Ppaekhyooni likes waith (white) the most and bright colors!!" He once again cheerfully respond to the latter.

@absinthe As Baekhyun looks up from looking down, Junmyeon notices the glistening tears in the boy's eyes, as he predicted. But instead if of saying sorry, Junmyeon pokes the younger's tummy repeatedly until he could hear the younger giggle. "Ticules? Ahh it tickles right?" He says brightly as he pokes the younger for a couple of times before stopping.

When they arrives at the dining room, Junmyeon takes a seat next to the boy and finally wiping the boy's eyes from any possble tears. "Hmm anything? Alright then daddy will just ask ahjumma to make daddy's favorite food and then Baekhyun points out which one Baekhyun doesn't like. Okay?" He says gently with a smile while caressing the boy's hair. Not even a minute passed after they have a seat, the maid that is in charge of the kitchen comes out to attend the young master. "Ahjumma, can you please make my favourite when I was his age? Just maybe two or three of them. Thanks ahjumma.." unlike to his men, Junmyeon appears to be gentler with the maid for he has been considering her like his own mother and he believes that protecting women and children is essential in his life. With that thought, he turns to face Baekhyun and cups his face lightly , caressing the smooth cheeks gently with his thumb."Now.. wanna tell daddy anything aboabout Baekhyun? Like age, favorite colour?" 'And...now that's awkward, Kim Junmyeon' he thinks to himself

@--guardian As he heard a loud laughter spread throughout the room, Baekhyun confusedly looking around to see if there's a person whom laughing over him and his antics as his eyes matched back towards his beloved daddy who was happily still full of laughter and spilling every single drop of it until he becomes satisfied. The younger who saw this however have his head lowered, proceeding to just his lower lip out into a mere pout that matched his expression; his pupp doe eyes that are now glassy filled with the tears that will be soon dropped. Baekhyun felt as if his daddy really found him laughable and it actually upsets him since he couldn't stop acting so foolish rather than just be a sweet, calm and lovable kid that people often sets their kids as a goal in their life. He's sorry for Junmyeon, his Junmyeon daddy.

But so, even though he was completely upset about himself for being and swinging that way, at the mention of food, Baekhyun eyes has now sprinkled into adoration; twinkling from excitement that currently the elder told as he tries to visualize everything that comes in his mind. Before he could actually drooling over the image on his head, the petite found himself tickled by the small poke on the tummy as he flinches away while whining 'daddy it ticules (tickles)' and proceed to hop over daddy's back that transfer them both downstairs where thise scary looking guys has lined up straight. Confusion starts to kill Baekhyun yet rather than asking him like he did in the room, he found himself intimidated by how frightening them look like which made the brunette hides his face for a few second up until he heard Junmyeon dismissing them all and being led by the dining table as he tried to carefully sits on one of the seat that has been lined up.

"Daddy's choice!! Ppaekhyooni can eat everything heh," followed with a small giggle, Baekhyun has now come back with his cheerful remarks. As if he was an active beagle puppy that could not stay still without running around nonstop.

@absinthe "Daddyback?" Junmyeon practically just burst into a big laugh as he hears the foreign word. He's sure his rare laugh is now resonating across the big mansion and fascinates some of his men. He just can't help it. His 'son' is too cute for his own good. However the laughter stops after a short while for Junmyeon doesn't want to offend the smaller boy, knowing how the younger will get easily confused. He immediately caress Baekhyun's hair gently and smiles. "Thanks for being thoughtful, Baekhyunnie. Daddy really appreciates it. Come let's get some food for Baekhyunnie's tummy, shall we?" Junmyeon asks as he pokes the younger's tummy with his index finger and chuckles before shifting to a squatting position with his back facing Baekhyun.
"Hop on, Baekhyun.."

When they go downstairs where his men are waiting to take the his new son for a training that all of the hired people did in the past, Junmyeon secures his hold under Baekhyun's knees. "This one need no training like all of you did. You can be dismiss for the day.." as if the men are robots, they bow to their stern sounding master with a loud "Yes Young Master!" before vanishing to God knows where. After they're gone, the stern master seems to change to a gentle Junmyeon as he carefully letting Baekhyun sit on the chair of the dining table. "What do you want to eat?" Junmyeon asks with a smile, very different from his previous self.

@--guardian Baekhyun once then smiled at the elder, indirectly by the promise he stated for protecting him at any cost and he shall trust Junmyeon in the return. However the smaller has already trusted him from the start so there's no need for the latter to state so; he trust people too easily at times and as the result Baekhyun would be heartbroken when he knew that people are pulling white lies towards his innocent mind yet it's easy as well to have him forgiving people less in three days. It will be a sin – well at least for the petite male. Baekhyun always feared doing something against the laws, he's pretty obedient and it was his strength that collides with his flaw; people often takes advantage to his obedience and it was terribly a nightmare for people around him at how innocence that are remaining within his body.

"Yes! Ppaekhyooni's hungry! Piggyback – no, daddyback Ppaekhyoon please!!" Yes, daddyback. Baekhyun was sure that his daddy isn't a pig and calling him names would be considered as a bad thing to do and Baekhyun hates it and he is sure that anyone wouldn't like to be referred as an animal such as pigs though he finds those certain animal cute.

@absinthe 'This boy is really something' Junmyeon thinks to himself of the bright boy. It's amazing how innocent can the boy be for his mood changes from very scared to very happy just in a few seconds. Junmyeon even thinks that this kind of innocence will make everything his family is working on pure and guiltless. No, he must protect this boy. The boy must not be involved in this business under his care. Plus, his father said that Baekhyun is his. So he will never let anyone contaminate his Baekhyun. For once, Junmyeon is greedy for something and he knows that his greed is for Baekhyun's sake, especially when the boy emits that innocent giggle. A thing that never taste so sweet to him before. A thing that makes him smile to the fullest this one in a rare time and Junmyeon likes the feeling.

"Good then.. because daddy won't let anything bad happen to Baekhyun under daddy's care. Will Baekhyun trust daddy..?" He somehow finds himself imitating how Baekhyun speaks in third person instead of first. It's as if he's communicating to a baby. Well.. Baekhyun is practically his baby now as he sees how much the boy enjoys his touch and how pretty and adorable his odd (reads cute) rectangular smile is on his face."What Baekhyun wants to do now? Hungry?"

@--guardian The petite male was really eager to say the least, his happiness radiates though the whole room where the both of them boxed in. Rather to say he's suffocating like he once said, Baekhyun found the place was welcoming and cozy enough to be spent days even being locked in. The way his new recruit daddy treated him was a plus, he expected an evil stepfather in stories often sketched yet he was grateful by now since Junmyeon was crossing his expectation limits into a better ones. The younger however starts to form a small grin on his already bright face, making it stands out even more than ever by the way his daddy concernly throws question towards the pup-like boy.

"No daddy, Ppaekhyoon's not scared since daddy's here heh," with a slight giggle he emits, Baekhyun's grin now turns into a wide rectangular smile; eyes formed into crescent in few seconds as he leans into Junmyeon's touch by nuzzling his cheek into his warm palm much to his contentment.

@absinthe This time around, Junmyeon can't help but to chuckle as the smaller repeats his name like it's a wonder to him. He used to hate when people play with his name but this is not the case now. The boy is not playing and even if he does, it's cute enough to be shrugged off. "Yes.. you got it right. Kim Junmyeon daddy, okay?" He says gently as he finally sits on the floor while holding Baekhyun's hands who is sitting on the bed. "Are you still scared? Now that daddy is here?" Junmyeon asks as he reaches out to caress the smaller's cheek with his thumb gently, wiping the dried tears away from under the puppy eyes. "Do you still feel like crying now?"

@--guardian It was satisfying to say the least by the time he was done with scribbling his name onto the small ripped paper. Baekhyun never gets to study properly at school and socialize with people on his age due to his family low on funds and by then, the small male has been studying informally with his big brother whom he cherished so much. He only learned the basic things that they have in their language yet Baekhyun could speak a proper sentece - well except the fact that he had fat tongue and a lisps so it could be hard - but at least Baekhyun wasn't that dumb to make a conversation with people, though he cluld be labeled as an anti-social by the time he moved here; a new and enlarged environment. The young boy felt the frighten rush down to his blood by being here alone, imagining how his 'daddy' would leave him alone with the maids and bodyguards.

"... Daddy. Yes, Ppaekhyooni is comfortable daddy; Ttoonmyoon daddy!!" Different from Junmyeon's gentle tone, the smaller replies with a slight high-pinched eager and bright voice of him as his eyes has now twinkling innocently at the thoughts getting a new daddy that could protect him whenever they decided to attack him when he's alone at home without any trace of his Junmyeon daddy. "Heh, Kim Ttoonmyoon daddy," Baekhyun smiled and responding with a nod by the time the latter reminded him to recall his name which he succeeded by then. It's going to be a long day at the Kim's mansion.

@absinthe Junmyeon feels like he's in a mess now -messier than when he got a lot of calculating to be done for his father at the end of the month since his father trust no one in this world- as the boy in front of him begins to pout. 'Don't cry.. don't cry..' he chants inside of him, hoping the God would actually hear a son of a thug like him. But the mess slowly dissolves as the cutie pie squeals after quite amount of time writing down his name. Junmyeon wonders, this kid should have been in his 12 years old or something. Why is it so difficult to write his own name? The question on his mind grew as he actually sees the writing -big and ugly but still kind of readable for Junmyeon-. "Byun..Baekhyun..? Is that it? That's a pretty name!" He looks up to the boy to know if he's right this time.

Junmyeon can't help but to smile at the way Baekhyun pronounce his name. Yeah, his name is kind of old fashioned and kinda hard to pronounce even for him when he was a baby. So he gently shake his head and reaches out to caress the boy's hair lightly. "At least you got the Kim part right... It's okay boy.. daddy would suffice. Just call me daddy. Would you like that and be comfortable with it?" He asks gently because who knew, this boy might report him as a e the next thing he knows, though the chance is low. "And remember my name just in case, okay?"

@--guardian Baekhyun has now formed his lips into a pout by the time the latter still got his name wrong despite of the correction that the petite has given him, unknowingly gets upset yet it was up until the elder put up a small ripped paper and a pen; deciding to scribble his name down carefully and while recalling the way it was supposed to be written and said by all sorts of people around him. A simple yet a big ugly, 'Byun Baekhyun' has now displayed in front of his eyes. Baekhyun feel proud of himself got to write his name properly and ends up breaking into an innoceny squeal due to his hardwork. The smaller could now see how he has been treated by the latter, he thought that he was supposed to be treated the same level as them yet the fair man proves him wrong. He felt guilty nevertheless to have the different care in a different hands. Byun Baekhyun declared himself by today up until the end of the day and continuing for tomorrow that he will treat them as friends; a family that he could play with after he settles down with his current daddy.

The petite young male has now have his eyes twinkling in adoration due to the stranger has now introduced his name towards him yet Baekhyun could tell that the latter's name would be hard to pronounce and he was right about it, "Kim Ttoonmyoon daddy..?" Baekhyun's lips are moving on its own by now. It was supposed to be a statement of him try and recalling the jet black haired older male his name yet it was more of question form due to how confused the smaller be.

[post deleted by owner]

@absinthe Hearing at the way the boy corrects him, Junmyeon can't help but to scratch his non itchy head because God helps him, it sounds exactly the same. "..Ppaek..hyoon? Okay you know what, can you write it down for me hm?" Junmyeon resorts as he hands the sweet boy a small paper and pen from the bedside table. Somehow he feels that it's important to know the name of this one, unlike their other workers that are 'hired' the same way as the boy did. It feels like he'll be calling the sweet name over and over again for his whole life after this.

"Yes.. daddy. I mean.. if you want to have a daddy here. Or if you feel uncomfortable, you can call me Junmyeon. I'm Kim Junmyeon.." he says while offering a warm smile to the boy in front of him. He likes the boy when he looks confused like this. He looks so innocent. Junmyeon has taken a liking to this buddy without having himself know about it.

@--guardian Baekhyun only left unmoved as he decided to told the latter about the urgency to meet his dearest 'daddy' - father to put into a simple words. He wasn't even sure what his life will lies by the time he can't have any contact with his parents; that'll be sad and the younger don't like to be sad rather trying to lighten his mood by anything that revolves his happiness which shorten by every single things that he came across and stare. The young male wasn't hard to please, his innocence what makes him able to accept everything without thinking twice or a complaints yet giving compliments instead. It was obvious that the title of 'Tiny Cinnamon Roll' fits Baekhyun's image. However, he was left confused by how the latter repeated his name wrongly. Baekhyun shaking his head, indicating that it's not the way of his name properly pronounced, "Ppaekhyoon!!!", he stated once more with an emphasis on his name.

The jet black haired stranger has made Baekhyun confused once more. It was unpredictable that the elder would responding him with full of care which was the different treatment he got from the bodyguards before. "..Daddy? Ppaekhyoon's daddy?" With a questioning tone, the boy had his head peeking onward towards the latter face; observes it silently before actually tilting his head to the side; wasn't completely sure

@absinthe The red faced young boy is now having Junmyeon's full attention on him. How his sniffs his sobs back makes Junmyeon feels like hugging the cutie but that would be too sudden. The younger would be too scared and Junmyeon would have that as the last thing on his list. Because deep down, he knows he's not cold like his older brother and father. He's weak when it comes to tears, especially coming from someone as fragile as this young boy in front of him. And when the younger begins to speak, shocked is an understatement of Junmyeon's reaction. He expected cute voice...but not this cute. Caressing the smooth skin gently under his fingers, Junmyeon looks at the boy with everything he has. "Ppaekhyoon? Is that your name..? Ppaekhyoon?" Junmyeon asks in curiosity as the name sounds quite strange these days. He never heard of any name like that but who is he to judge? If that's the boy's name, that's the boy's name. Then once again, Junmyeon was shocked at the high notes 'Ppaekhyoon' produced, asking for his daddy. Panicking, Junmyeon holds the boy's hands while trying to calm the boy down before blurting out something so out of his world and out of his control. It was as if his heart and crazy mind was doing all the talking now. "It's okay! It's okay.. daddy here.. I'm Ppaekhyooni's daddy from now on.. okay?"

@--guardian The helpless young male didn't know what has actually happens yet when he does, he only wringing onto the owner's son hold; screaming hardheartedly, crying his another set of tears by the time that the jet black haired male heading towards an unfamiliar room. Baekhyun never liked on how people easily drag him into their messy life such as now yet he can't really help it because his family makes a deal that they won't be able to see him once their son was handed over to the Kims and won't be allowed to look after him if they can't repay The Kims kindness in forms of money. The longer the younger spends him time in the fancy-looking mansion with force (read: dragged here and there), the more Baekhyun loathed the place.

However, what did happen next was out of reach; the aloof-looking stranger is trying to console his panic attack, erasing his tears away that has been dried and falling each time past; redness covering his whole fair face due to him was not been able to calm down from his crying. Baekhyun definetely misses his parents. He wants to go back or even try and make an escape for it yet he don't think that his short legs were able to drag him back to his cozy home - or shall we say shack. "P-Ppaekhyooni wants daddy.." With a sob, Baekhyun responded. To say him having a weird speech is understandable; Baekhyun always is having a fat tongue and a bit of a lisp. People said that it was rather on the adorable side that the younger was used to refer himself in the third person. Unfortunately, those are his whimsical charms. "D-daddy!!! Ppaekhyooni mishess (misses) daddy!"

@absinthe Seeing the smaller boy literally falls onto his knees, the jet black haired owner of the big mansion has a quick reflex on catching the weaker male in his arms. He then gives a glare to both of his men and motions them to go away from where they were standing, for he sees how scared the younger is of them. Or is it just them? Junmyeon will never know. He had always hate this game his family plays. Lending a huge amount of money only to have more people guarding their possessions because the poor parents of the children that grows out to be his men or maid could not afford to pay the Kims. Junmyeon wants to protest so bad but that is not his place, he figures. He needs to be as influential as his father or at least his older brother to have a say on anything, except for what his dad has clearly assigned under his care. And today, that includes this guy. Oh boy Junmyeon is glad. As he can never imagine what will happen to the boy if he's not assign to him.

Junmyeon carefully lifts the boy in his arm in bridal style as one of his maid comes out from an empty room next to his study, announcing that the bedroom is ready for the younger. Junmyeon has no idea why must it be that room that is picked by his father for this young lad but he thanks the maid anyway before carefully bringing they boy into the new room. Maybe Junmyeon can feel the younger squirm in his hold, maybe he can't as his full concentration is on getting the boy in his arms safely into his new bedroom. After carefully putting the boy on the bed, Junmyeon kneels beside the bed and looks straight to the brunette and reaches out his thumb to erase the tears as he begins again. "Again.. what's your name? How old are you?" he asks calmy, followed by another calm tone of question. "What will make you speak young man..?"

@--guardian As the petite male been leaded into the outside world and transmitted into the unfamiliar household, Baekhyun already was devastated to parts up with the people that lovingly and affectionately raised him until he was now. He thought he would have those particular happy ending that might compete with those fairy-tales his father would read in his sleep yet did it worked out the way it was supposed to be planned? A big chubby no would be the answer. Baekhyun might be ended like the particular princess whom named after Pocahontas; the only princess in the history of fairy-tales that got a sad endings as things won't work out by her will nor anyone.

The short male was continuously spending his tears trailed down to his red cheeks. Boys like Baekhyun shan't never cry, that's how their parents viewed and teaches him for yet it was painful however he could not blame on anyone because they made a deal - no matter how horrible his parents earlier let him go with only the trace of their son's unfinished drawing on the piece of paper. He was tire out, he felt like fainting for letting out unnecessary screams and demands for him to be sent back home; back to his family and back to his ordinary uncomplicated life that might depressed him even more. Shaking his head, Baekhyun, the petite male by then were immediately falling on his knees weakly without any support from those strong guards that has been keeping up with his attempts on trying to get off from their hold; refuses to talk to the owner of the calm stringed voice nor to anyone in this household by this time. The whole environment was extremely in a new level -- Baekhyun is indeed awkward by the drastic changes to his life. The small male never will gets it.
