"I've missed you, it's been a long time on the phone only," she said causing him to blush.
"I'm soffy," he muttered.
"Oh and my Junie!" Lauren let go of him rushing to the boy to hug him tightly. "I think you grew up, soon you'll be taller than me," she said when Renjun became as purple as Jae.
Yes, Lauren was a tiny girl, so right now Renjun was nearly her hight, but Jae really doubted his baby will ever be really tall, but it was very sweet, it suited Renjun.
Jae walked to the trunk to get the bag out, he carried it to the stairs when he heard Renjun complaining to Lauren.
"Please tell Jae to not to leave Ti with Nora, please, please!"
Jae sighed, he had no idea why Renjun had such a problem with Doyoung's daughter.
"Jae take the cat with you," said Lauren seriously walking to him her arm around Renjun.
"Come on don't believe evefything," said Jae.
"Jae, Nora is everything but a good kid," said Lauren.
"What do you mean?" Jae looked from her to Renjun who lowered his head.
"Please don't tell!" begged Renjun.
"Don't tell what?" asked Jae.
"Last time Junie was there she forced him to clean her room and do her homework, she threatened she will cut off Dalli's feet if he won't do it," said Lauren causing the hair on Jae's body to crumble.
"What?" he asked.
"She was holding scissors around Dalli's leg," whispered Renjun frightened glitters in his eyes.
"Why haven't you told me of Taeyong?" asked Jae trembling.
Renjun only lowered his head more.
"I'm going fof Ti now, I'll have a wofd with Doyoung about hef," Jae felt anger boiling inside him, he slammed Renjun's bag on the top of the terrace then turned around swiftly.
He jumped down the stairs till he took Renjun's hand.
"Renjun you'fe going with me now!" he said sharply.
"Why?" asked Renjun stunned.
"Jae what's wrong," whispered Lauren.
"I'm not going to leave you hefe with that man who had done exactly the same thing to me, made me clean his dofm, made me do his homewofk, thfeatened to publish intimate photos of me and Taeyong while I was still living with my mothef who could kick me out anytime, sent... sent photos to the couft to make us lose the adoption tfial, so we neafly lost you, no way!" Jae was shouting boiling over when the front door slammed.
All hair on his body jumped up from fury when he saw the guy who made him suffer so much through all the years.
"Hi Jae, looks like you can't let go of the past really badly," said Kun his fake grin so disgusting that Jae jumped to him grabbing his collar trying to shake him.
"Jae, Jae stop!" shouted Lauren and Renjun when Kun grabbed his arms trying to hold him on a distance.
"You filthy piece of shit!" shouted Jae pushing the guy to the house wall.
"Jae! Jae please!" he heard Renjun crying what made him loosen his grip.
He let go pushing Kun so hard the man needed to grab the wall to not to fall.
Both ware panting heavily, when Jae turned around to see Renjun's red eyes when the boy was cuddling to Lauren trembling from fear.
"I'm soffy Junie," muttered Jae looking away walking down the stairs he felt angry and embarrassed.
"Jae, you know all of this was before I got to know Renjun," said Kun calmly. "I'll never hurt your son," he added when Jae tried to relax, to not to go back and beat him up till he will be begging for mercy.
"Junie if anything happens call me I'll come back immediately," said Jae walking to the car.
He wanted to go and hug Renjun but he was afraid to do so, he wouldn't stand if Renjun jumped off from him as these dark eyes watching him were still so scared.
He felt like cut when he reached the car, slammed the door shut then drove off quickly, he decided to take Ti from Doyoung, yes his friend and his daughter will hear something.
"Lets's go inside and eat supper," said Kun calmly when Renjun was watching Jae's car lights disappearing behind the gate.
He felt Lauren's arm tightly around him, she was cuddling him whispering calming words into his hair. He was still afraid, he was so afraid of violence after all that had happen in the orphanage, all the things he didn't want to remember, but his therapist was fishing out onto bright daylight one by one, showing him they might be bearable.
He looked at Kun who pretended nothing had happened but his eyes were sad, Renjun knew Jae never liked Kun, or Yuta, but he has never seen Jae acting like that.
"Come inside, I'll make you some delicious hot chocolate," said Lauren caressing his hair when Kun grabbed his bag carrying it to the house.
They were all silent, Renjun saw Lauren's checks were still very red.
He tried to relax when he walked in still cuddling to her as it was giving him comfort. They were in the long hall, when someone ran down the stairs than stopped in front of them. Renjun blinked a few times seeing a boy dressed up in pink pajamas, he seemed very young but might have not been a teen anymore, his hair was long falling down to the middle of his cheeks.
"Who is it?" asked Renjun letting go of Lauren.
The boy was watching him with wide eyes moving two steps back.
