Accessing model attributes inside relationship in laravel returns null when eager loading

When accessing model attrs inside relation logic in laravel the attrs are all null when eager loading, if lazy loading it works fine.

Model relation :

public function organization()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Organization::class, 'organization_id');
}

public function currentOrder()
{

// Note that this will not work if eager loading the relation
// for some reason all model's attrs are null when eager loading
$subscription = $this->organization->currentAdhesionSubscription;

if ($subscription) {
return $this->morphOne(Order::class, 'parent')
->whereHas('ticketsWithPrice', fn($q) => $q->where('ticket_id', $subscription->ticket_id));
}
}


If lazy load the relation it works :

$model->load('currentOrder');
$model->currentOrder;


If eager loading it won't work :

$model = Model::with('currentOrder')->first();
$model->currnetOrder // Error of accessing "currentAdhesionSubscription" on null which is organization which is a relation, but even when I access an attr of the model such as id it returns null when eager loading


Why model attrs are null when being accessed from whithin an eager loaded relation ?
