The trio talked more and more about Jisung's recovery and the girls. Lixie filling in from time to time when Jisung would momentarily choke up. A newfound respect for the young mother was not something Hyunjin had on his to do list when he woke up this morning, but oh well, some things you just can't control he guessed. All he wanted was for his friend to be happy, but clearly that was going to be more difficult than making Lino start loving them, more than his cats.

-

When the girls woke up and came downstairs, they found their mom, sitting on the couch with their two mated uncles rewatching an episode of Spy x Family.

"Ya! I wake up and all I see are lazy bums." Audrey joked as she ran to her uncles.

The two welcomed her easily as they all began bickering. Aurora laughed as she went straight to her mom. She laid down on his lap and got comfy. She didn't neglect the obvious puffy ness to her mother's eyes. She would talk to him about it later.

"Ya! Don't you remember all those meals I bought for you! You ungrateful brat!" Hyunjin yelled.

"Old men are supposed to care for their young ones! Plus, you're rich anyway!" quipped back Audrey.

"So is your mom! Stop mooching off of me!" Hyunjin yelled as Audrey climbed on top of him and faked a head lock.

"Ahhhh! She's killing me! Help-!"

Aurora chuckled as she just snuggled deeper into her mother's chest.

"They're idiots." She heard a deep voice say.

She nodded and hummed in agreement. "We're the only normal ones here Uncle Felix." She said as she sighed along with her uncle who seemed to agree, looking exasperated at the scene that his mate and niece were causing.

"Okay! Okay! Stop fighting! Dinner is here." Lino yelled as he brought over their dinner to the table.

Aurora quickly got up and helped set the table, later sitting in her usual seat. Across from her, her sister couldn't seem to stop smiling. Arora wished she could be that happy too.

"You okay bubs?" She heard a whisper. It was Uncle Jinnie. The beta was always good at figuring out her emotions, but this was something she couldn't share. Not even with her mom.

So, she nodded. She gave her uncle a quick smile and dug into her food.

-

After minutes of eating and occasional bickering Jisung spoke up. "I have something to say..." Everyone minus Lino, quickly perked up and looked at him, while Audrey listened silently as she ate her food.

"We're going to Seoul."

Audrey started choking.

"Why, Seoul?!" She yelled. Aurora rolled her eyes and waited for their mom to continue.

"Because me and Lino thought it would be a good idea to meet up with your daddy's-"

"He's not my dad!"

"Let me finish talking, Han Audrey!" Jisung yelled.

Everyone's eyes widened as they looked towards the young alpha who seemed shocked that her mother yelled at her.

'About time' Aurora thought and went back to eating her food.

"We're going to Soul to meet with your father's company and legal team about what we're going to do moving forward. It's not an option, you are going." Jisung said with finality, warning his alpha daughter to not even try and argue back.

"When are we leaving?" Aurora, who had stopped eating, asked softly. Jisung turned his face towards her and smiled. "Tomorrow."

"TOMORROW?!"

"HAN AUDREY!"

"I'm sorry, e-eomma."

Still sending a warning glare the alphas way, he said, "I've already packed a good amount of your things, finish eating and go pack the rest."

Hyunjin watched as Audrey finished eating with a scowl on her face whilst Aurora did so with a soft smile.

'Interesting...' He thought.

TW: Suggestions of self-harm and suicidal ideations.

Christopher was exhausted. He pushed himself off his desk and let the multitude of papers fall off. He had been writing. Though he knows it's not healthy to keep pushing himself like this, it had been keeping him busy and sane, so he figured it was better than his other methods.

He left his studio and went to his room. Walking in, he laid down on his California King bed, its covers made of black satin. Matching the rest of the room aesthetically. Black curtains, gray walls, ceilings, and black marble floors and doors - the bed and its owner, whose heart and mind were dark and heavy, fitted in perfectly.

Chan looked towards his bedside table. An old picture of him, the girls and his mate showing. His heart clenched and broke a little more, but he ignored it. Closed his eyes and took deep breaths. Soon he fell asleep.

The man had been awake since the night everything had happened, he hadn't been able to rest. Chris passed out in exhaustion, a stray tear falling down the alpha's face, his only companion.

10:33am

Soul, Gangnam-gu,

One Day Before the Flight

Chan woke up with the darn light coming from the window. He completely forgot to close it last night. He sighed and heard movement downstairs.

The others were here.

They would come every day to make him breakfast and clean up anything that needed to be cleaned - even though it was stupid because he had a house manager on standby that would do, clean or fix anything he needed, house-wise.

Chan really appreciated the gesture, he did, but he also knew that that was an excuse, and that they were only here to make sure that Chan hadn't killed himself yet.

He groaned, scratching his head, he got up and took a shower. He definitely needed one. Once finished, he walked downstairs and entered his living room, walking into the connecting kitchen.

"Morning." He grumbled.

"Long night?" asked Seungmin.

"I finished the song."

"Oh? Want me to call Changbin Hyung?" Chan just nodded and ate his eggs with toast, bacon, waffles and an accompanying green juice.

-

Seungmin left a sleepy looking Chan to himself and went to call Changbin Hyung. He was slightly worried the alpha would face plant into the jam covered toast.

"Hello?"

"Hyung!"

"It's too early." grumbled Bin.

"Hyung... it's almost noon."

"Exactly."

Seungmin sighed and rolled his eyes at the dead pan tone the Alpha used.

"Well, if you're sooo very busy, then I'll just tell Chan Hyung to call another producer-"

"NO! I'm on my way!!"

The line beeped as Seungmin smirked. He knew exactly what to do to get any of them up and running.

A sleepy Channie looked at him confused, and that just made Seungmin laugh softly. Sometimes, his Hyung looked more like a puppy than a wolf.

Soon after he heard the door open. Chan had gone to lie back down, profusely mumbling that he had to close his curtains. So, he went up the stairs to check.

"No one but me handles the merchandise!" A short buffed up alpha yelled, as he ran in with his black curly hair shooting out every way, and blacked rimmed glasses sitting low or his nose - it was clear he came running from his own apartment three floors below, elevator who?

Seungmin laughed out loud and said; "Well, the merchandise is currently taking his morning nap."

Changbin grumbled and set himself off to Chan's music studio as Seungmin headed back down stairs.

-

As Bin made his way to the studio he stopped and checked in the alpha.

Chan was tucked into his bed, with his deep, rich blue hair, and bare feet sticking out from opposite the side of the comforter. Changbin was relieved that his Hyung had finally calmed down enough to rest.

Memories of the past started rushing through his head. Chan was his brother. He had discovered him. Everything Chan knew, Changbin was there when he learned it, and he probably had a part in teaching it. They had been together for years. They had been there for each other for years. Bin would do anything to make his Hyung happy.

It wasn't that long before Changbin made himself comfortable in the messy studio. He grumbled a bit while picking up papers and turning on electronics. He remembered his Hyung's excitement when Changbin showed him the newly renovated room.

He sighed.

This room was supposed to be Audrey's room, but after years of watching Chan cry his heart out holding pictures of his little girl, Changbin had had enough. This pain of it all was killing him, and that made Changbin scared. So, he forced Chan out and renovated it. His Hyung had thrown a good fight but soon came to his senses.

Audrey would never stay in this room. There was no point.

"Alright, focus." he said, snapping himself out of his thoughts. He opened the most recent file on the computer and started working.

-

Seungmin was bored. He can only read so much before he gets up to start cleaning.

Vacuuming the couch and sweeping the marble floors. Dusting off awards and old pictures, after a while, he traveled to the only suite down stairs past the living room. He sighs before opening it and he finds it as it always was. The two queen-sized beds, one with a dark blue and black comforter, the other with a baby pink and yellow one, sat in the same place and way as always. The white and gray suite was covered in what Chan thought would fit his daughters styles the most. From the chairs and tables to the carpets, and the toys, it was all how Chan thinks his daughters would want. Seungmin felt for his friend, it just wasn't fair.

He carried on and re-fixed the comforters just like he did the last time. Re-fluffed the pillows. Re-vacuumed the rugs. Re-swept their marble floors and re-dusted their picture frames. The pictures were old. One was showing a young baby girl with black hair and a small sliver of teeth coming through showcasing her gummy smile. She was being carried by a young Chan. She looked so much like him, a literal copy.

He smiled softly while dusting it, Audrey's 2nd birthday.

Seungmin had only ever heard stories of the young girl, never having the chance to meet her. And unfortunately, there was nothing that he could do to change that. But he couldn't possibly feel worse than Chan, who back then was often found trying to calm his mate or trying to talk to his children. Let's just say Seungmin's thoughts on Han (Bang) Jisung weren't very good ones, but he knew his Hyung loved him more than anything. Even his own life.

-

Jeongin walked into the apartment and went straight to the kitchen to get a drink. The house was silent aside from the faint noise of a vacuum being used. It was his mate who was cleaning, he already knew it without even having to go see who it was. He didn't know if Changbin was at his own condo or in the studio but knew that Chan would most probably be sleeping. He went to sit down on the couchand wait for his mate to finish up.

30 minutes later

*Bzzzz Bzzzz*

I.N felt his phone vibrate; it was silent since he didn't want to wake up Chan. He answered the phone without looking at the caller.

He would regret that later.

"Hello?"

"Is this Yang Jeongin?"

"Yes. Who's this?"

"It's Lee Minho, or Lee Know. Jisung's friend."

The alpha nodded. Never surprised to see the beta calling him instead of the one who he should be calling. Jisung and all of those affiliated to him were never going to make Jeongin's list of people who deserve to be around Chan.

'Chan Hyung definitely has to continue to stay away from those cowards, they don't deserve him.' He thought to himself.

"Okay? What do you want?"

"Jisung talked to the girls. We'll be leaving the U.K tomorrow."

I.N sighed, already getting a headache at just the thought of any of those bastards being in the same city as him and his family.

"Okay, do y'all need anything?"

"No, it's okay we found a hotel- "

His face scrunched up in confusion. "What do y'all need a hotel for?" I.N asked.

"Where would we stay?"

That made him scoff.

"In the condo he bought for them? It's not on this floor, thank God, so don't worry, but it's still better than a hotel."

There was a pause. "He bought them a condo?"

He rolled his eyes. "Yes, Minho-ssi. He bought his family somewhere to sleep."

I.N heard the rude beta scoff.

"Alright I'll talk to Jiji." Click.

Pissed off, I.N threw his phone onto the couch beside him. He hated all those bastards. This specific beta had called him days ago screaming into his ear until I.N got tired of his bullshit and gave the phone to Changbin. They came up with some sort of solution, by agreeing to let them meet up with the company's social media team.

After a little while he calmed down, Chan was still asleep and his mate still cleaning, so he went on his phone to the infamous X app.

X (formally Twitter)

@bangchrispyfries: I can't believe Chris hasn't made a statement yet! What's he thinking?! This could ruin his career! He must take control of the situation! And fast!

Unfortunately, I.N I agreed with that, he sighed and continued scrolling.

@thehollywoodreporter: Rapper Bang Chan is still not making statements involving his two secrete kids, as well as any answer about his past or still present, relationship with the Multibillionaire designer and Multinational Fashion House DIOR's owner, Peter Han.

@koreaboo: Fans are distraught after finding out hot alpha rapper sensation Christopher Chan has not one but two kids, with the secretive Billionaire Peter Han.

@mrsbangbangbang: can't believe none of y'all can respect Chris's privacy! y'all wonder why he kept this a secret! #StopRuiningBCsLife

@E!News: SKZ Company and DIOR fashion are both still silent over the controversial song that was leaked. Where are they going forward with both stars' careers?

@channnfann: I wonder when Bang Chan became a dad? And how did he meet Peter? Isn't he in another country or sum??

reply by @daddybc: yk the clues were there the whole time! listen to his old stuff! He gave so many clues! and hasn't ever denied it since it came out!

@channnfann: not your username becoming a reality lol

@DIORlover: bruh why can't people just leave Mr. Han alone? Did y'all forget that he moved to a whole other damn country just because people were crazy to the point of stalking his children? And now his secrete identity, the one he DIDN' T want anyone to know about, was leaked, and his family's story too, this is not ok.

@hanisfashionsgoat: Oh my god! Peter's alpha is Christopher Chan!? He's really together with some gangster hooligan?? He deserves so much better! Like a refined, gentlemen of a mate, not some celebrity rapper, ugh.

@allaroundfan: do you guys think that the song leak at SKZ company and Peter Han's face picture leak are related? Like the same person or individuals, did it?

reply by @GoatHAN: well maybe, I mean Peter's daughters ended up being Chan's daughters too, that is a connection already. I bet the ones responsible for it, found out about the song first, and discovered that the names on the lyrics are the same names of Peters daughters that were leaked and went viral a while back. They must have stalked the Han's and gotten the picture, this way once they publish both things, it would go viral at the same time and people would make the connection, causing an even bigger scandal.

I.N had been thinking the same thing, maybe his theory wasn't as far off as he thought.

@chansleftfoot: I can't believe he has kids with Peter Han, I mean we didn't even know that they knew each other! Chan has never even worn anything from the brand DIOR!

@Chanstiddys: Christopher had made statements about this from the beginning! Here's my playlist of Chan's songs that hint that he had kids!

That post in specific made Jeongin curious as he clicked on the playlist. A short list of Chan Hyung's songs showed up.

Like a flash, all the memories came back. He remembered all the things that had happened during, while or before the creation of those songs. It totally made sense. 'These songs were made when Hyung missed his family the most.'

Innie sighed. He was waiting to meet with Jisung's social media team, as well as theirs, to make a statement, but first he called the IT department. He wanted to know if they had figured out who the fuck leaked that song and created this madness in the first place. And if they were responsible for Han-ssi's leaked picture.

Hope you all enjoyed lovelies~~~
