"What happened?" asked Hyunjae.

Hyunjae and his siblings were taking Sunwoo home today, but they wanted to visit Haknyeon first. However, the moment they went inside, they saw that Haknyeon was being comforted by Jacob and Chanhee.

Kevin and Sangyeon were also present but Haknyeon was gripped tightly on Jacob and trembled as he was shaking and couldn't seem to stop. He seemed very restless and it seemed like he was experiencing a lot of mixed emotions and wasn't really sure what to do or how to cope with everything.

"Something happen" grit Sangyeon in anger.

Hyunjae came closer to him.

"What happened?" asked Hyunjae.

"Sungha just came here" said Sangyeon.

"Sungha? Haknyeon's aunt?" guess Hyunjae.

"Yes. She came here to visit Haknyeon. She just making it worst" said Kevin.

"Haknyeon's aunt? What did she do to him?" asked Juyeon.

"She never an aunt or a family to him. All she just do just want to hurt his emotions" said Chanhee try to hold back the anger.

"What she always does to him?" asked Eric.

"Let not talk in here. Let's go outside" said Sangyeon.

Sangyeon and Kevin walked out of the room with Hyunjae and the others while Younghoon stayed behind since he already knew what was going on. Younghoon knew that Haknyeon was experiencing a lot of intense emotions and probably wasn't in the best mental state, so he was going to stay behind and keep a close eye on him and be there if he needed anything or if the situation escalated.

"So, what did she do?" asked Juyeon.

"Did she... said something to him?" asked Sunwoo.

"You know?" asked Sangyeon.

Sunwoo nodded.

"He told me about his stories before. That his family except his grandmother is treat him like an outsider. His aunt always spoiling his emotions with her words so that he himself thinks that all her words are right" said Sunwoo.

"Yeah. Even seeing her already make him feel miserable" said Sangyeon.

"Because of her too, Haknyeon always getting stress for his whole life and feel burdened by his dead parent and his adopted parents. All because of her" said Hyunjae.

While Sunwoo had been dealing with this intense of a trauma for a shorter period of time than Haknyeon, who had been dealing with stress and issues since he was younger, Haknyeon was experiencing a level of trauma that was greater than Sunwoo. Haknyeon had been suffering from intense trauma for longer and thus, the trauma had a stronger impact on Haknyeon than it had on Sunwoo.

"How cruel" said Changmin.

"I don't know how she can know that Haknyeon is here when we didn't tell anyone" frustrated Sangyeon.

"If she knew Haknyeon's condition now, she would probably do something to him" said Kevin.

"What does she really want?" asked Changmin.

"Heritage" answer Sangyeon.

Haknyeon had already calm down. He lay his head on Jacob's shoulder and playing with Chanhee's fingers.

"Have you calm down, Haknyeon?" asked Chanhee.

Haknyeon nodded. Haknyeon look up and look at Jacob, Chanhee and Younghoon. Jacob caress his cheek.
