Cale and the three children are preparing to go to sleep until Raon had an idea, “Human! Why don’t you sing a lullaby for us?” “Yes! Sing us to sleep, nya!” They’ve never heard Cale sing but, ‘His voice must be amazing!’ They all thought however Raon had set up a recording after he had asked.
Cale contemplated whether he should sing them to sleep or not… His voice wasn’t exactly good nor did he know how to sing, but he didn’t want to let the children down.
“I guess…? Though my voice isn’t that good, alright?” Cale said and the three children nodded to him, “Even if it isn’t good we’ll like it!” Hong said, “Even just one song nya!” On added as she tapped Cale’s lap, “Alright…”
Cale tucks the kids to bed as he prepares himself to sing to them, “Don’t blame me if my voice isn’t as pleasing as you think.” Cale worried that they might make fun of his voice,
“Don’t worry Human your voice is probably the best!” “Yes, nya! It’s nice when you speak so when you sing it would be even better!” “Just sing…” On sighed as her brothers try to cheer their guardian.
… I'd rather be tall, I'd rather be smart
Cale’s voice was as clear as water and as smooth as ice, he looked ethereal and melancholic as he sang. The children were in clear awe as they look at Cale sing.
I'd rather be sure you know I care
Wherever you go, whatever you start
I'd rather be sure you know I'm there
Raon had been reminded of his Human’s doing in order to give them a good life, his Human had saved him from Venion’s barbaric hands and had given him the freedom he had deserved.
Not only did his Human helped him to seek revenge he had given him food, shelter, and love
It was more than Raon could’ve imagined.
I'd rather I always be a part of whatever you do
I'd rather be me with you
Hong thinks that Cale had always accompanied them when they had needed it, Hong wants that to continue all the way! ‘I’d rather be with you too!!’
… Wherever we go, I already trust
Cale may look cold and stoic, and he prefers to be home and inside, but if they had wanted to go somewhere he couldn’t have refuse as he knows, they are his children and he is their guardian. Tsundere.
I'd know what to do if it were us
I'd know what to say, I'd know how to be
On thinks the lines fitted their guardian perfectly, Cale had known what to do and had stayed calm when they were in a panic, he had won wars, scammed people, and resolved conflicts.
On knows that Cale knows what he’s doing On and her siblings look up to him, after all he had taken them in and saved them multiple times she had never been thankful for Cale coming into their lives as they live more comfortably. Though she wishes he would stop sacrificing himself and making them worried.
I'd know your entire syllabus
Cale had known his family enough from every little detail thanks to his observations, he knows that they know his in and outs too.
I can't think of any other thing in the world I would rather do
If I could be, I'd rather be me with you
The children had fallen asleep peacefully next to Cale.
Cale wishes them a good sleep as he fixes their blankets until then, does Cale settle at peace next to his children.

Raon had made sure that when Cale had sung them to sleep he recorded the cute session and showed it to their allies, unfortunately for Cale it had become a tease material for him and he had sworn to never sing again!
If anyone had heard any humming or singing from their young master no one will bother to point it out, it’d be their secret to know whether the young master keeps his promise or not.
