Just then, as he was trying to open the drawer, Rhodri came out of the bathroom and saw this scene when he entered the room. He had never expected that his toy would start to suspect him this early. 'Did he know about the tribute of his mafia group?' Rhodri thought. Now that he had already started suspecting him, he might as well just tell him the truth because the longer it drags on, the harder it will be for Taen to accept the truth.
Rhodri looked at him and said with a smile on his face"what are you looking for, Taen?". His voice carried a sense of casualness.
Taen, shocked to the core of his body, looked to the side and saw the young boy who had a bit of iciness to his temperature which he had never seen before.
He panicked. He didn't know what to do. What can he do? He was caught in 4k, I mean, caught red handed. His hand was still on the drawer's handle.
Rhodri bent down to reach Taen's eye level. He met his eye and put Taen's hand away from the drawer while saying, "If you've come this far, I might as well tell you the truth then. I don't wanna hide this fact anymore".
"I am the mafia leader of the Home of the dead angels", Rhodri finally said it. It's not like he couldn't say it before but he wanted his toy to only know good things about the world and not look at the bad side.
His job description basically involved all the bad sides of the world so he didn't wanted him to know what his job was at all. He knew that one day he wouldn't be able to hide this fact. That's why, he decided to recruit his little toy in his mafia group so he can keep him safe and locked up.
He wanted to give his little toy a promotion and promote him to his pet.
But Taen didn't know any of his thoughts.
"Taen, how about you join us?" Rhodri asked. Taen replied "No, i can't, I have to find my mother and sister". "If you don't join us, I will kill both, your mother and sister", Rhodri said with his voice turning icy by second.
"Well, you can try, my mother is pretty powerful", Taen said a bit proudly but when he looked at Rhodri's expression, he knew he was pretty serious about this.
"I can't join your group you know, I am the son of a country's president" Taen said with all his seriousness.
Rhodri was obviously hard to convince and so he said this while looking straight into Taen's eye,"Well, when you join our group, you leave your past life behind and if you choose to leave from this place and decide not to join us, we will come and find to kill you but I don't want to do that to you so I won't let you escape from this place even if you want to"
"Please, won't you respect my choice?", Taen said with his puppy dog eyes but still didn't get through Rhodri.
Rhodri reached his limit and used his powers to shut Taen's mouth. The purple fog rose from Rhodri's hand which was then placed on Taen's mouth. He looked elegant beyond my imagination while doing this action.
"I don't want you to face the dangerous side of the world" he said with a worry in his voice which could be heard in his voice. Taen also looked at Rhodri in a serious way when Rhodri said that.
In summary, Taen was basically forced to stay there by Rhodri.
