Just then we heard someone shouted his name. "TAECYEON, TAECYEON AH!"

We went out of the stable and I was surprised that the rest of the 2PM members were marching toward us as they spotted us. I quickly hide behind his back.

"Wow, this is a big farm," said Minjun. Wooyoung was looking at me. "So this is your place?" I nodded. "Whoa, Taec, I didn't notice her that day. She is really pretty. No wonder you keep coming to this place" Nichkhun said as he slapped on Taecyeon's arm.

"Hey guys, stop it, she is feeling shy already," Taecyeon said as he felt my hand is clutching to his shirt.

"So guys this is Min, and these are my members" He introduced each one of them. "So how can we help?" Junho asked. All of them turned and stared at me but I kept quiet.

Taecyeon turned around and looked at me as my hand is still holding to his back. He let out a sigh as he crossed his arms. "How about feeding the other animals?" He asked as he stooped down and gazed at me. "Okay? Timid Mouse?" I nodded my head. "Okay, you stay here and work in the stable. I will have to tell them what to do next." He slowly walked away.

"Hyung, she can't speak,can she...?" Chansung asked with a puzzled face. "She speaks, but she is in the silent mode now," Taecyeon replied while leading them to feed the other animals. The job got done much faster with the help of six men.

I prepared them lunch in a large portion since they have to use all their physical strength. Taecyeon helped me by setting up the table. I was eating quietly as usual while listening to his noisy members chatting and laughing.

"Taec, how come your girlfriend can really keep quiet for so long," Junho asked as he glanced at me. Taecyeon shrugged his shoulders and replied "Beats me! That is still a mystery to me."

Wooyoung looked at me. "Can I ask you a question?" He asked as he looked at me. I nodded my head. "Why are you not talking?" He asked. "I... am just shy..." I replied softly

"Wahhh!" All of them screamed except for Taecyeon. "So you can talk!" Chansung exclaimed. I smile a little.

"So did you work anywhere else before this?" Junho continued to ask.

"No... I...was studying until I had to take care of my Mom." I replied still softly.

"Ohhh...." The guys all exclaimed. "Where did you study?" Minjun in turn asked

"USA," I replied in short.

"Wait a minute! Did you just say you studied in the USA?" Taecyeon asked again.

"Yes." I replied "But you said you didn't make it to Harvard," he asked in depth.

"I went to Texas University instead," I replied, smiling a little.

"So you can speak English," Nichkhun asked.

"Of course, I can" I spoke in English.

"Whoah... you scored one more point," Junho said.

"Huh?" I asked with questioning eyes.

"You speak English, you cook and you are pretty beautiful," Junho explained.

I shook my head at his last remark.

"And that would be 3 points" Minjun replied.

"She saved my life 3 times, she is quite strong, she is hard working and she is a good rider. Plus 6 points." Taecyeon added.

"That's 9 out of 10. So you really do like her, right, Hyung?" Chansung said.

"Cut it off guys," Taecyeon said. His ears were turning red.

"Okay guys, let's scramble. We should have left them alone" Minjun ordered. All of them start taking their plates and rushed into the kitchen.

Taecyeon pulled me up with one hand and lead me to the front porch. We were standing there as I looked down on the floor as he gazed at me. "Min, it's true, I have developed feelings for you since the very beginning. I do like you a lot."

I didn't move a bit since I am too shy now. He then lifted my chin and starts inching forward as he presses his lips to mine. I was a bit shocked and pushed him away. "Are you uncomfortable being with me?" He asked. I shook my head. "No..." I replied.

Just then the door open, Junho was peeking at the door. "Can we come out now?" I nodded and all s rushed out. I quickly walked away.

We continue to finish our work. Later, they all wanted to ride the horses. So I guide the Old Boys (Minjun and Nichkhun) whereas Taecyeon guides the Young Boys (Wooyoung, Junho, and Chansung)

All s left after dinner. Taecyeon still didn't go back.

"Don't you have any work tomorrow?" "I still have to talk to your neighbor and besides my schedule will be in the afternoon, so I am leaving in the morning." He said.

Taecyeon and I went over to Uncle Hong's house and discuss with him. "Your Dad did tell me before. It seems like he knows he will be leaving." Uncle Hong said lowering his voice. "I didn't know he was already planning at that time."

Tears start falling from my eyes when I heard Uncle Hong said that. Dad had already prepared. I found a bank account book as well which is under my name together with his other documents. "I will send my sons there to help you tomorrow or at least to learn your daily routines. But I can only prepare the money by next three months." He said.

We had a brief discussion before going back to the house. There we sat down on the front porch.

"Well, so it's all settled," Taecyeon said.

"I am really so stupid, why didn't I pick up the signs that Dad is not well," I said trying not to cry.

"Don't blame yourself. He really did cover up well." He said. "Come to think of it, I remembered he had asked me to take care of you too?"

"He did?" I asked as I turn to him.

"I didn't know what he meant at that time."

I started sobbing again. Taecyeon hugged me and comfort me. It took a while again for me to stop crying. "I am sorry." I apologize as I pat on his shirt which I have stained.

"It's okay, I have to take a shower anyway."

"So what are you going to do since your farm is sold now?" He asked.

"I am not sure yet," I replied

"Don't you have any goals or dreams that you wanted to pursue before?" He asked curiously.

I nodded "I think I will continue my study" I replied

"Don't worry. I will help you get through." Taecyeon said as he puts his hand around my shoulder. "Thanks, Taec," I said softly. I tried slipping away again.
