Malvin stared intently at Nathan. "I hope Roger and Alexander are here when he wakes up. I'm not sure I can handle him. I don't know what I'll say."
In the corner of the room, Lucas and Nael were fighting on the sofa, shouting at each other. They were overlapping and hitting each other.
Malvin had to lift Nael and take him away if he wanted the fight to end. "Don't you have school tomorrow? Go back to your room," said Malvin, shooing Nael away.
Nael was still panting, staring at Lucas, who was taunting him. "Look at him! He started it!"
"Go back to your room!" Lucas teased, laughing.
Leo stared at Lucas. "You'd better go too, or I'll have to drag you out," he said.
Lucas immediately clicked his tongue. "Why? I want to see him wake up!" Lucas exclaimed, staring at Nathan, who was still lying unconscious.
Leo stood up. "He won't wake up until tomorrow. Get out," he said, his face calm, his eyes sharp, but his aura dark.
Lucas immediately shuddered, but he walked out pouting. "If Alexander were here, you wouldn't dare tell me that," he said, but as soon as he finished speaking, he ran away.
Leo remained standing, staring calmly, then turned to Nathan and sat back down on the edge of the bed.
Malvin had just returned after making sure Nael was in his room and walked over to Leo. "Should I call a doctor?" he asked, watching Leo take off Nathan's clothes and replace them with more comfortable pajamas.
"No, he will wake up. Don't worry," replied Leo.
Malvin walked over to the bed to help his brother change Nathan's clothes. They spent the night in Nathan's room instead of returning to their own rooms.
In the middle of the night, Roger arrived and immediately rushed into the room, taking off his thick jacket and throwing it in the middle of the room.
"He's here? How is he?" he exclaimed excitedly, almost running toward the bed. Then he widened his eyes when he saw Nathan with his eyes closed.
"What's wrong with him? Is he asleep?" he asked.
Leo and Malvin just stared, holding their breath because Roger always made things noisy. Before they could answer, the man had already asked many questions.
"Alex asked Jay to bring him here by force. They had to sedate him because when I came this afternoon, he didn't want to come home at all," Leo explained calmly.
Roger listened while staring intently at Nathan, checking his breathing and touching his chest. He only calmed down after confirming that Nathan was still alive.
"Where is Alex?" Roger asked.
"He said he had an important meeting. He'll be home tomorrow morning," replied Malvin.
"What about the orphanage? Have you met with them?" Roger asked Leo.
Leo nodded. "I've taken care of everything. I also went to his school. He won't be coming back. But there are still a few things to be settled. They asked Nathan to come and sign some documents."
Roger nodded. He felt very tired after an important photo shoot for one of their company's brands. But he chose to spend the night there and fell asleep on the sofa.
The next morning.
Nathan felt like his whole body was broken, his head was dizzy, and his stomach felt stiff. He opened his eyes and frowned, feeling his breath heavy.
At first, he squinted at the ceiling with its large, beautiful lamp hanging above. He didn't think he had ever seen a lamp like that at the orphanage.
Before his memory fully returned, he was already wide-eyed, realizing that several pairs of eyes were staring at him enthusiastically.
He immediately sat up, looking around. Five blue-eyed men looked alert, worried, anxious, and excited. He stared at the unfamiliar room. It was very spacious and filled with elegant furniture.
Nathan remembered being on his way home when someone ambushed him. He had been... Abducted? He looked around again, alert and tense. He backed up until his back hit the headboard.
He glared at Roger, who was closest to him. "Where am I? Why am I here?!"
"You're at home. You're safe here. There's no need to be afraid," replied Roger, standing with his arms crossed beside the bed.
Malvin looked worried. "How do you feel? Are you dizzy?" he asked.
Nathan glared at Malvin. "I want to go home!"
He immediately got out of bed on the opposite side from where Roger was standing. All his brothers looked at each other, alert.
"Nathan, listen to us," said Malvin, standing up to prevent his brother from leaving.
Nathan didn't care. His head felt very heavy and dizzy, but he forced himself to move. When he stepped down, suddenly everything around him spun wildly.
"Shit..." he cursed softly, closing his eyes and holding his head.
Lucas, who was closest to him at that moment, quickly grabbed his hand to help him. But Nathan, wide-eyed, pushed his hand away and shoved Lucas hard, knocking him to the floor.
"Damn!" Lucas cursed, followed by muffled cries from the others. Nael quickly helped Lucas to his feet.
With a swaying body, Nathan walked toward the door. Roger clicked his tongue, walking to block his path, making him glare angrily. Leo stood on the other side, while Malvin was ready to help.
They had to make sure Nathan didn't leave. But it was exhausting. Even though Nathan was weak, he had no intention of giving up. When they tried to approach or touch him, he kicked and punched wildly.
"Stop it! Damn it!" shouted Lucas, who had already been hit twice. His legs and stomach were the targets of Nathan's blind kicks.
"Nathan, stop! We need to talk!" shouted Roger, grabbing Nathan's hands and holding them behind his back.
"I don't want to talk to you!!" Nathan yelled, stomping on Roger's foot, making the man shout loudly and let go of his grip. "Damn it!" Roger cursed, tiptoeing to rub his reddened toes.
Malvin moved carefully, trying to block him again, but was once again pushed away roughly. The same thing happened to Leo.
They felt ridiculous, unable to restrain a boy, but they were being very careful with their younger brother, not wanting to hurt him.
They immediately chased after Nathan as he walked out and down the stairs.
"Nathan, wait!" they shouted, but Nathan ignored them.
When he reached the living room, his steps stopped when he saw a man standing in the middle of the room. The man just stood there silently. He was tall and sturdy, dressed in a black suit. His blue eyes stared calmly.
Nathan frowned, alert. For some reason, he was reluctant to move. The man's presence gave off a strong, intimidating aura.
"Alex! He's trying to escape!" shouted Lucas, along with his four other siblings who had just come down the stairs.
