Soobin met up with his older brothers at a common place. A place considered sacred. The lake. "So, you asked to see me. What's going on ?" Feigning innocence had become relatively easy for him. Playing mind games just as Hyun-Shik had done before. Choi Daeshim & Choi Jaesang had just arrived back in Monzara.

Jaesang was the calmer of the older boys. Daeshim being more susceptible to getting riled up. "We are still your hyungs, Soobin. Since when did you start acting like this ?" His brother' had been gone an incredibly long time. Nothing was as they remembered it. "대심이가 소리 지르려고 한 게 아니에요, 수비나. 엄마 아빠한테 무슨 일이 있었어요?" (Daeshim didn't mean to yell, Soobin ah. What happened to Mom and Dad ?) Soobin gave a bright smile as he gave them the splendid news.

"Monzara Penitentiary. I put them away for their crimes." Daeshim had grown quite angry. How could Soobin be so happy about this ? "Why ? What did they do ?" Soobin had nothing pleasant to say about his parents since he learned what kind of people they truly were. As empathic as Soobin has become, he wouldn't let emotions cloud his judgement.

"They committed crimes, hyung. It was the only way," he responded without so much as blinking. Jaesang sighed before trying to get a real reason from Soobin. "I've heard the institute changed. Does that have anything to do with their crimes ?" Soobin was in no mood. Why did he need to explain himself.

"이 이기적이고 거만한 녀석아! 다 네 잘못이에요!" (You selfish and arrogant, little brat ! It is all your fault !) Did Soobin take Daeshim' outburst seriously ? No. Things were completely different now from what they were. "Oh ? So you would've accepted me letting them off without a warning ?" Soobin used his emotional projection ability. A wave of calm overcame them.

He knew his brother' were angry & confused. However, he can't just tell them what they wished to know. They didn't need to know anything. "Did you ever think how this affects us, Soobin ? Huh ?", Jaesang said hoping that he was getting through to his little brother.

Soobin didn't have to think it over. He never once thought about how anything about what happened with their parents would affect his older brothers. "당신 생각은 어때요? (Think about you ?) What about me ?" Yes, it could seem like Soobin was leaning into being a full blown brat. However, he had dealt with his parents in a way he wasn't ashamed of. So why were his brothers so intent on making him feel guilty ?

Daeshim had enough. He knew the root of why Soobin was being like this, "Oh, stop playing victim. So what you were neglected, Soobin ! No one cares !" Jaesang tried his best to diffuse the situation as it got more intense. Soobin rose from where he was seated. Pure anger seemed to radiate from him. "You can visit them at the pen. I'm sure they'd just love to see you both..."

As he left, Soobin was relieved. His brother' hadn't challenged him to a duel. He was worried for nothing. He headed for Hades House' secret tower. It was here that he came to think. He stared at the skyline a bit before his eyes drifted to the Lake Of Mist.

They still had no real idea of the affects the lake could have on them since they bathed in it. So why was it calling to him now ?
