3RD PERSON'S POV

Ran's eyes widened as he beheld the sight before him. Ren, sat in front of him, happily eating her lunch. She had always been such a bright and energetic girl, but today her hair was a complete shock to him. Her hair, which was naturally lilac, was now a vibrant combination of purple, and black. 

The realization of who must have been behind Ren's colored hair came to Ran like a lightning bolt. He knew that his younger brother, Rindou, was the only one who would have the audacity and skills to pull off such a feat. he's had always been a very artistic and playful guy and had a knack for causing mischief. This was undoubtedly one of his works.

Ran leaned closer to Ren, his expression serious and curious. He gently put his hand on her shoulder and waited for her to look up at him, which she did, her eyes wide and innocent.

"Now, tell me darling, Who colored your hair?" He asked softly.

He had expected her to be reluctant to tell him the truth, but to his surprise, she stopped eating her lunch and looked him straight in the eye. 

"Monster guy!" she declared cheerfully.

Ran's brow furrowed in confusion as he stared at Ren, still trying to understand her response. Who was this "monster guy" that had dyed Ren's hair? It was clear from her tone and mannerisms that she fully believed what she was saying.

Ren continued eating her lunch, seemingly unbothered by Ran's confusion. She had always been a bit of a mischievous child and seemed to enjoy keeping him on his toes. Ran couldn't help but feel slightly amused despite his frustration at not understanding what was going on.

Ren must have been referring to Rindou. His brother was always up to no good, and he had no doubt that he was the one behind Ren's colorful hair. He decided to ask Ren to clarify who the "monster guy" was again in case it wasn't his brother but rather it's someone else.

"Is it Rindou?"

Ren considered Ran's question before nodding confidently, an adorable smile gracing her lips.

"Yes!" she exclaimed. "It was Rindou."

"He took me to the salon and after that he threaten me that i will not see you again and after that he bought me taiyaki as an apology!"

Ren's words left Ran speechless. He couldn't believe his younger brother would go to such lengths to cause mischief and then threaten Ren like that. He felt a boiling hot anger within him as he thought of his brother and his antics. He wondered how many times Rindou had done something that stresses him. He decided to confront his brother about it as soon as possible. 

"Do you like your new hair color?" He asked softly, his voice filled with curiosity. She took an extra moment to chew her food properly before swallowing and shaking her head. Ran couldn't help but chuckle to himself at Ren's response. She was such a sassy little girl. 

"Is that a no?" he asked with a tease in his voice. Ren, now chewing her bite of food, simply nodded her head before picking up her utensils again and continuing to eat.

after awhile Ran quietly tiptoed out of the room, ensuring not to wake Ren. He gave the maid strict instructions to keep Ren safe and comfortable in bed before making his way out of the mansion.

With Ren asleep, He felt a sense of relief wash over him. He went to the hideout of his gang to meet Rindou and scold him for messing up Ren's hair. He was extremely dissapointed in Rindou's actions. Ren was a young girl and such a prank was not appropriate for her age. 

When Ran arrived at the gang's hideout. He was fuming with a mixture of rage and disappointment. As he walked through the door, he saw Rindou lying on the couch, and Sanzu beside him.

 Rindou and Sanzu noticed his presence. "What are you doing here, Ran?" Rindou asked, sitting up on the couch. Ran's gaze shifted from Rindou to Sanzu, who was eyeing him curiously. 

"I came to talk to you, Rindou. We need to talk." Ran's tone was stern, and he stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Rindou.

Rindou narrowed his eyes at Ran, knowing what he was about to say next. "We need to talk about what happened with Ren's hair," Ran said, his tone low and threatening.

Sanzu cut in, his voice calm and measured. "wait, what happened with that brat hair," he asked. Ran's gaze turned to Sanzu, his voice low and menacing. 

"Sanzu, stay out of this. This is between me and Rindou," Ran said, his eyes narrowing at Sanzu.  Rindou laughed, Ran's expression turned from serious to angry once again. 

"Rindou, this is not a joke," He said, his voice rising in volume. his brother continued to laugh, his eyes sparkling with amusement. 

"Ran, you need to chill out. It was just a hair. The little girl won't be harmed by just a little joke," Rindou said, still laughing. Ran sighs in disappointment at his younger brother's actions. He turns to face him and says, 

"Look, I know you don't like Ren, but you have to respect her now since she is like a daughter to me. I won't tolerate you messing with her or anyone else for that matter. Is that clear?" Ran's voice is stern, but there is an underlying note of concern and frustration behind it. He knows that his younger brother can be a handful, and he doesn't want him causing any problems for Ren or himself.

Rindou rolls his eyes and asks, "What's so special about that little girl anyways?" Ran looks at him sternly and replies, "She is like a daughter to me, and I won't tolerate any of your nonsense when it comes to her. You have to respect her now, whether you like it or not." 

He sighs, knowing that his brother has a point. He doesn't like being scolded, but he knows that Ran is right. He agrees to respect Ren and stop messing with her.

"Fine, I'll stop picking on her." Ran nods, grateful that his brother is finally seeing the light. He knows that Rindo can be stubborn, but he hopes that he will stick to his word and leave Ren alone from now on. Rindou sighs and turns away, still looking a little annoyed, but Ran is relieved that the situation didn't escalate further.
