two young men stood in the dimly lit basement, weapons drawn, pointing at each other. their hearts were racing and their fingers were on the trigger, ready to kill.

jeongwoo brushes off another tear from his eyes as he embraces jio even tighter. the baby wailed for several minutes due to the lingering fear from the attack and relief after he saw jeongwoo.
it hurts seeing his son cry, and he's just glad jio finally calmed down after he tucked him in bed. he may not say it aloud, but he's grateful to his father for offering them a room to sleep in.
jeongwoo places a delicate kiss on jio's temple, and doodles lazy circles on the baby's back. he then heard a groan beside him, after realizing who it was, he stops moving. he nearly forgot that haruto had his head resting on his shoulder.
as for haruto, the boy grew quiet for who knows how long before he finally snapped out of his reverie when jeongwoo's father ushered them inside the house and guided them to their room.
“woo..” haruto murmurs groggily and jeongwoo's response comes in instinctively, humming softly as he slowly wraps his arms around haruto. haruto snuggles even closer, resting his head comfortably on jeongwoo's chest, and encircles a hand on jio's waist.
“are you leaving again?”
jeongwoo shakes his head, running a hand through haruto's hair. “no.”
haruto grumbles another sluggish reply before he dozes off, again.
everything seems calm, but not for jeongwoo. he can hear his son's steady breathing, haruto's light snores, and even the uproar in his mind. it's all loud in his ears, sharp and distinct.
what were the motives for hiro's attack?
why jio?
why did he plan to kill jeongwoo's son?
more importantly, was it a coincidence that jeongwoo's out with his friends at the same time hiro's men decided to attack?
was he spying on him?
jeongwoo grunts, frustrated with the overflowing thoughts residing inside his mind. he couldn't fathom hiro's reasons, why him? he didn't do anything. also, after the incident that happened long before jio's birth, they did not have any operations connected to hiro nor raided hiro's dirty operations. jeongwoo was in a coma. the man was silent for a long time, so was jeongwoo's team.
so why now?
sighing, his hands slowly reach for his phone just placed on top of the side table. unfortunately, he woke up the sleeping boy beside him.
haruto rubbed his eyes, “were you reaching for your phone?”
“hmm, i'm sorry for waking you up,” he says, softly.
haruto jerks his head no, “it's okay, do you want me to get it for you?”
jeongwoo nods, smiling when haruto turns around to get his phone from the side table. haruto stretches for a second before handing jeongwoo his phone. jeongwoo uttered his thanks and prods haruto to sleep again, to which the boy gladly agreed and cuddles jeongwoo again.
after making sure that haruto and jio are in deep sleep, jeongwoo unlocks his phone and scrolls through his contact.
his uncle's contact information flashes on the screen, and he doesn't hesitate as he typed his message for him.
