Baba is betraying his friend, servant and a person he called his brother. Baba was Hassans biological father, no one knew (other than Rhaim Khan) about this until Amir went back to Afghanistan to save Sohrab. So Baba not only betrayed his friend, but his own sons by not telling them.

Hassan and Amir left their encounter with Assef in fear because Assef threatened to harm them for standing up to him and defending Hassan.

Additionally, Hassan had already experienced violence at the hands of Assef in the past, so the fear was compounded by past trauma.
How is hassan treated in The Kite Runner?
He is treated in various ways by various different characters throughout the book. Amir treats him as a brother (ironic really) or anincredible close friend, though he doesn't realise the depth of his actions towards Hassan in a brotherly way when he is a child. Baba is surprisingly protective and kind to Hassan even though he is his servant's son, the true reason for this is revealed later in the book. Assef treats Hassan in a very racist and prejudiced way, perhaps almost as though he is an item rather than a person. Hope this helps a little. xx
