When Julian came back from the store, he heard the commotion happening in the kitchen, Yuna was also startled when she heard Yui's scream. It was a poor timing for Kaia when Julian got back.
Without knowing everything all Julian heard was Kaia telling his mother about being a maid and then Yui's scream. When he came in the kitchen it was a mess, Kaia pushing his mother on the ground, Yui screaming and groaning in pain from the burn and a few pieces of shattered glasses which Yui accidentally knocked over due to the sudden pain he felt. And in the middle of it all was Kaia standing still looking at them. The whole situation point to Kaia being the bad guy so without a thought he raised his hand and hit Kaia hard on the face.
Right now he was angry, he thinks the people he loved was hurt by Kaia and he was starting daggers at him.
"Brother!" Yuna yelled when he saw her brother groaning in pain. "What's wrong with you Mister?" Suddenly accused Kaia.
Meanwhile Kaia was in disbelief as well Julian just hit him. He had always always been careful and gave his everything for him and just one mistake was all it took for this man to raised his hand. His eyes were wattery but he held it in.
Miko finally got up and just said, "His burn is a bit severe we need to get him to the hospital, son"
Julian upon hearing this just said okay and went to take his car keys.
"If something happens to my brother you're death." Yuna said before they all left.
Finally Kaia came back to his senses and without a sound he bent down and started picking up the glass pieces. It was until he accidentally pricked his finger that his long awaited tears were finally able to rain down his cheeks. But still he didn't stop cleaning.

Yui suffered a 2nd degree burn but it was just a small area on the leg so the doctor said it may take a week or 2 to heal. And maybe a month for the scare to gradually heal. Other than that he was completely healthy.
"Son, that child has taken too far causing such things and still not looking sorry." Miko said as if she wasn't the one who swing the laddle with hot oil a few hours a ago.
Yuna added, "Yes Mr, he's rude and mean to me and now look at my brother." Her eyes were teary for some reason.
Miko- are you okay?
Yui gave her a smile and just said, "I'm fine it doesn't hurt anymore."
Miko- *sigh Just give him some money and let him go will you?
Julian who was quite the whole time immediately responded, "NO"
At this Miko raised her voice a bit, "Why? Are you so indebt to him? I'm sure he'll go away if you give him a bit of money..."
Julian - I said no now drop it.
Meanwhile Yui was clunching his fists, he was angry and couldn't figure out why Julian just can't do that.
On the way back, the car was silent no one spoke a word. While Julian kept looking at the hand that hit Kaia. For some reason he was nervous, what if he opened the door and Kaia wasn't there? He didn't like such thoughts.
But when they reached home, Kaia was standing at the hallway and immediately he kneeled and apologized to all of them. He just knew that getting angry was not gonna solve anything so until he can get his own place he'll endure it.
"I...i hope you're okay Yui. I'm sorry..." Kaia said.
Yui barely looked at him and replied, "it's fine it's nothing serious."
Kaia apologized to each person but Yuna and Miko ignored him and walked past him. They all went further inside and now only Julian and Kaia was left.
Kaia didn't look at him because he was afraid, afraid of something.
K- I'm... Sorry... I couldn't control myself and i said something hurtful to your mother i hope you and her can forgive me.
Julian looked at the red cheek on Kaia's face and he saw that Kaia wasn't looking at him. He was avoiding his eyes. Without a thought he took one step closer to Kaia but the later took one step back.
Now Julian was surprised, he stopped immediately when he saw this. Kaia literally just stayed away from him.
"It's getting late. You should eat. I already ate so you guys enjoy." Kaia said and left.
Julian stayed still processing what just happened. He didn't know what to feel but his heart was hurting.
The four of them had their dinner without Kaia and as the night goes deeper they all left to sleep. All except Julian.
When everyone was asleep he casually took out an expensive wine bottle and a glass and went to the living room. There he saw the man sleeping on the sofa. Without making a sound he took a seat next to the couch beside the sofa and started drinking is wine. All the while looking at the sleeping man. His eyes held no emotion yet something was there in the heart, taking a sip every few seconds while never taking off his eyes from Kaia.
