Ha Yoonbin sipped his tea with his eyes squinted in jest, his legs crossed while he stared at the King's baby, their maknae.

"I dont know if I should be proud or should be scared with Haruto helping with chores" Haruto grimaced at the statement coming from his previous landlord. Jeongwoo who was sitting across their guest chuckled as he saw the japanese baby pout sulkily. He noticed Haruto looking at him as if betrayed so he let out a laugh.

"Enjoy it, hyung. You can only taste it once a year" Haruto huffed as he jumped to his seat next to Jeongwoo. Yoonbin's shoulder shook slightly as he held back his laughter.

"Right, right" Jeongwoo shook his head lightly as he patted Haruto's back in comfort. He somehow can understand why each King's members had gotten the habit of teasing Haruto, the tall japanese samurai simply has a wide range of reactions. For the past weeks that he had hanged around the members of King's and the extended members like him, he had found out that each King's simply had too many charms and are a big softie at heart. Once they recognize you as their own, you'd be protected by them and secured.

Just like how Keita plotted the downfall of three big companies under the control of the elders' behind Haruto's imprisonment and how Mashiho had defeated hurted the pride of the Watanabe elders who agreed to the decision by defeating them one by one with a wooden sword. Jeongwoo shivered as he remembered the innocent smile Mashiho was wearing as he stripped the old samurai their pride and power.

Yoonbin stared at Jeongwoo who blanked out and smiled warmly, "Jeongwoo yah, did anything happen with your family business?"

"No, hyung. Everything is sorted out, I need to thank Keita hyung for the help" Jeongwoo beamed as recollected how cool and professional Keita handled the large investment lost that his brother was tricked into.

"No need for the thanks. For some reason, he seemed to found interest into your family business and decided to invest in it"

"Tch, if you'd allow me I would have helped too" Haruto pouted moping about being restrained to take action. Jeongwoo's brother business is a start-up entertainment company called Treasure Ent. which was co-founded by the genius producer Millenium. His brother's high school friend.

Jeongwoo slapped Haruto's back slightly in reply making the japanese frown.

"Anyways, you both settled down now?" Yoonbin placed the tea cup in his hands down to the table. Jeongwoo and Haruto stared at each other and smiled.

"Yeah. Although, Haruto spoke with Hiroaki-jiichan about the engagement thing."Jeongwoo laughed recalling how the two generation of Watanabe's debated about their opinions and ended in a bout of swordfight. "The three generations are exactly alike"

"Hiroaki-jiichan is cute, I don't know about this bean pole though"

"Hey!" Haruto protested as he puffed his cheeks with air. "I am cute! Right, Woo?"

"Of course, you are. You big baby" Jeongwoo amusedly dismissed the protest earning a thumbs up from their guest.

"You've mastered controlling Haru, Jeongwoo. Congrats"

"It was easy"

"Right, should be. Haruto is too whipped"

"Yah! You're more whipped to Jihoon hyung" Haruto pointed out flushing in frustration. Jeongwoo giggled slightly as he watched Haruto getting childishly angry. Haruto stared at him and harrumphed, "Meanie! I'll go to Hwannie's house to sleep tonight"

"Stop sulking, you big baby. You can sleep on my bunk tonight"

Haruto sighed and buried his head on Jeongwoo's shoulder, he felt the heat of his face rising. "You're not fair. I'll reluctantly allow you to sleep beside me"

Jeongwoo laughed as he ruffled Haruto's hair playfully treating the other like a big baby. Yoonbin coughed lightly to distract the lovers from the world of two that they are starting to build. Haruto glared at Yoonbin while Jeongwoo sheepishly smiled in apology.

"By the way, hyung. I heard that Dammie hyung is plotting revenge with my liege?" Haruto stood up from his seat and crossed the room to reach the kitchen counter and took the plate of previously prepared plate of cookies that Jeongwoo made and served it to the visitor.

"The file Jeongwoo gave him seemed to have revealed some secret. Well, the tyrant is helping since Doyoung's connection to the black market had made things easier for the legal authorities to catch some smugglers and drug lords"

"Was the compensation an idea of Dammie hyung?"

"Apparently so, why?"

"He had not approach you yet for help, hyung?"

"Dammie? No, he hasnt. He seemed to be avoiding me as of late"

"Something wrong, Ru?" Jeongwoo stared at Haruto who froze in thought then to Yoonbin who seemed to realize what Haruto was thinking. Haruto gulped as he stared at the sinister aura Yoonbin was producing. His automatic response was to cover Jeongwoo to protect him. "Ru?"

"No need to protect Jeongwoo, Haru. I won't snap at him"

"Sorry, reflex" Haruto chuckled lightly . He observed the raven haired visitor and sighed, "You understand why they are trying to leave you out, right?"

"I am. It seems like you misunderstand. I'm not mad at Dammie or anything"

"Then--"

"If what you and I are thinking is correct then Dammie might have truly lost his life if Keita had not suggested to take his guardianship. I am just angry at it"

"By the way, hyung" Jeongwoo interrupted as he glanced at his wristwatch. "Isn't Jihoon hyung too late?"

Haruto and Yoonbin stared at each other and froze. Yoonbin suddenly stood up and immediately fished his phone out of his pocket trying to dial his boyfriend's number as he paced restlessly inside the apartment. Haruto started tapping his foot against the ground, expression getting solemn by the minute.

Jeongwoo held Haruto's hand for comfort. Yoonbin cursed as he redialed the number for the fourth time and is still reaching the other's voicemail. He broke the phone as he held it with too much strength. "Haru, call Mashiho and explain that Jihoon is currently missing. Have Asahi look into the last whereabout Jihoon was seen. I trust you know what to do next "

"Yes, hyung" Haruto replied automatically fear laced in his tone. Yoonbin nodded curtly and stated ,"Good. I'll be leaving to go to Gon's place. Don't worry about anything, I'll talk to Haruomi-san"

Haruto watched their visitor exit the apartment in an obvious rush and heavied a deep sigh. Jeongwoo patted his back and stared at him in curiosity. The japanese bit his lips and quivered slightly, "I just hope Jihoon hyung is fine else"

"Else?" Haruto raised his head and gazed straight into Jeongwoo's eyes. Face taut and fear lurking in his eyes as he replied, "Blood would spill. Everyone in Kings agreed that there is one thing we fear and dreaded unanimously and that's the wrath of Yoonbin hyung. He's called the sleeping emperor for a reason."
