Myungoo sighs for the hundreth time ever since he woke up. A short rest time to say the least. Someting that could be more compared to a nap. Mainly because he couldn't sleep a wink last night. Well, how could he when his mind kept wandering over to Sungyeol? And more precisely to the memory of the coldness, he saw in Sungyeol eyes. Although, he understands that six years was a long time, was it still enough to change a person that much ? Somehow he had a feeling that what Sungyeol went through weren't just your typical metamorphis. He wasn't the same anymore. And can Myungsoo blame him? Sungyeol had, after all, been through crap. With his betrayal and his family's tragedy, he had all the reason in the world to change. Who was he to complain in the end? At least, destiny was kind enough to put Sungyeol in his path again so what if he was going to be coldly shoved aside by Sungyeol? He deserved that much.

With another sigh, Myungsoo pulled himself out of bed and dragged himself absently to his shower, ready to face the day ahead of him. The minute the cool water touched his skin, he let out a brief sigh of contentment and wondered loudly

"Did i really see him yesterday or was it a dream? Now that i think about it, it wouldn't be the first time that would happen."

Indeed several years back, Myungsoo would unconsciously return to the bridge where he had his confession or at the beach where they played at, the park or simply the bus all for the main reason that he missed him. He missed Sungyeol so much that a day wouldn't go by without him in his mind. And everytime he would go there, he would have the illusion of seeing Sungyeol. And it made him feel even more miserable. Something that didn't go unnotice by his best pals or his mother. So after years of pinning over a memory, he restrained himself for going to places where memories of Sungyeol were vivid. But that only made him miss him even more. If he had knew that he was the type to obsess over someone like the many girls he ruthlessly broke their hearts, he certainly would've laugh. But here he was. Actually experiencing it himself. Him. The playboy to the core. The guy that loved himself too much to care for others. Myungsoo guessed it was more than expected, considering karma and divine justice proved him so many times that they did exist. Whichever way they could, mainly in the worst way they will operate in his dull life.

Myungsoo grabbed lazily his towel and after undergoing his usual routine before dressing up, he walked out of the bathroom with his towel wrapped tightly around his waist. He was about to change into more comfortable and warmer clothes when he stopped midway at the sound of his phone. With a frown, he wondered just who would dare call him at such an ungodly hour. He decided, however, to ignore it and proceeded to walk in his dressing room only to stop halfway when the sound of his ringtone had finally succeeded annoying him. Stomping irritably toward the small device, left on his nightstand, he complained tiredly

"Gee, i have got to find a better ringtone. Hello?"

"Oppa?!" Came the unbelievably energic voice that belong to none other than his childish assistant.

"Ah, didn't i tell you to not call me that. And why on earth are you calling me so early in the morning?"

"Oppa..." She whined. Myungsoo rolled his eyes from the lame attempt of being cute and asked once again

"So why did you call?"

"Aish, why are you in a bad mood? Anyway, do you remember the guy from yesterday?"

"What about him?" Myungsoo suddenly asked more attentive than he was  couple of minutes ago. Jae hee let out a sound that could be mistaken as a yawn and said

"Well the guy had seem very familiar. So i made a little digging and guess what i've learn?" Myungsoo instantly bit wearily his bottom lip, anxious of having her talking about the harsh past that made Sungyeol's past, he was about to stop her in gossiping but was caught off guard, when instead she said

"He's Lee Sungyeol. The new CEO of Gabi entertainment. He's our new contractor."

"What?" Myungsoo litteraly yelled, not entirely sure if he was suppose to be happy or anxious at the thought of meeting the older man again. Maybe both then.

"Yeollie, what the hell were you thinking?" An angry voice could be heard from the hallway to Sungyeol's office. A dreading atmosphere that had almost half the staff squirming for shelter. Except for the subject of the anger itself. Sungyeol, who was seated behind his enormous leather chair, glasses on and his sleeves pulled up, didn't once flinch when the door slamed open and a very angry Woo hyun appeared. Instead, he adjusted his glass on top of his nose and asked in a blank tone

"Morning hyung, what can i do for you?"

"What you could do for me? Huh, well first by explaining me why the hell you contracted L as your personal photographer? Do you know who L is? I think i told you, didn't i?"

"Yeah", Sungyeol only said, not leaving his laptop's screen once. Something that only succeeded in angrying further his best friend.

"So why? Do you have any idea how hard i've tried to keep you two for meeting up? So why are you doing this to yourself?" Woo hyun asked disconcert. Instead of explaining himself, Sungyeol lean lazily on his chair and rubbing tiredly his eyes, he said

"And what is it exactly am i doing to myself?" Woo hyun remain silent a moment. With both men, fixing each other silently, he then said

"Hurting yourself. Why do you have to bring back past ghost in your life? Aren't you living enough in the past with your revenge?" Sungyeol chuckle humorlessly at the older man's word and said

"So that's how you see me hyung. As someone stuck in the past. Well, i guess you're right. I am stuck in the past. L or Myungsoo is indeed my past which is why it's safe for me to say that i need him. He has something that i'm lacking."

"And that is? What could you possibly need from the person who broke your heart?"

"Connections. That's all i want from him. Don't worry hyung. I'm not the one that needs to be protected from him. But him from me, Sungyeol said with a mischievous smirk, Woo hyun didn't know Sungyeol had. Just how far would he be able to go for the sake of his family's revenge?" Woo hyun wondered anxiously.

Sungyeol took him aback when he laid back his head with his eyes closed and said

"I'll be ok hyung. I'll have to be."

"Are you sure that that's the only thing you want from him?"

"What else would i want from him then?"

"Revenge", Woo hyun answered seriously, a little to serious actually. Sungyeol suddenly let out a giggle and answered amused

"Hyung, do i look like i have that much free time? It's not because i want revenge for what happened to my family that i also want revenge for my pathetic love life. I'm not that twisted. He played me, so what? I was the fool anyway. So i don't see why i would waste my time with screwing up Myungsoo shi's life. I've got better things to do."

Woo hyun couldn't feel more stupid than that particular moment. How could he for a minute stoop so low? Apologetically, he ran his hand in his hair and said

"I'm sorry, Yeollie. I don't know why i even said that."

"Don't worry about it hyung. You're just concerned, it's normal." Woo hyun let out an embarassed laugh then offered in his usual easy going mood

"So how about breakfast? I know this super cool place."

"I'd love to but i have to finish all these files by noon."

"Then how about dinner? You could come at my parents house. They actually would love to see you." Sungyeol smiled at the man's suggestion and only nodded in response. With that decided, he watch his best friend leave his office, litteraly skipping on his way. With a genuine smile, he shook his head at Woo hyun's antic. A smile that didn't last long at the sound of his phone. Automatically reaching the phone, he said in a blank tone

"Yes?"

"It's your grandfather on the line? Should i connect him to your line sir?" Frowning at the inhabitual action from his so call grandfather's part, he said

"Yeah."

"Hello, Sungyeol-ah, how are you doing?"

"Why are you calling me on this line instead of my phone?"

"Because you'll ignore me if i did. So how is Korea?" Sungyeol spin his chair to face the sheer glass that gave him an amazing view on the busy streets of Gangnam, he said

"What is it do you really want, Hal-abeoji?"

"Wah, can't i just call my grandson when i miss him?"

"Don't give me that crap and tell me honestly why you called? Is it about..."

"No, don't worry. He's fine."

"So why did you call?" Kim Soo Shin allowed a heavy silence between them then after a long silence that felt like an eternity, he finally said

"It seems like another tragedy similar to yours have happen once again."

Again another heavy silence.

"Is it so?" Sungyeol finally said darkly, not so shock from the information. Actually he expected it. The organisation has been way to silence over his departure so that could only mean that they took his departure as a threat eliminated so with his return, whoever that was behind all thoses massacre was, in his guess, somehow trying to kill two birds with one stone. Firstly, to prove his power to whoever dared to defy him (which meant him) and secondly, to threaten him to not dig further or at all. Sungyeol turned to his laptop and after a few tap on his keyboard, he wrote down an adress before storming out of his office with the phone long forgotten on the table. Though, the grandfather quite expected it. Sungyeol was as predictable as much as he was unstable. Something that Kim Soo Shin quite liked about the man. After all that was what made Sungyeol such a great weapon. His cold demeanor.

Myungsoo couldn't believe it. So he was now going to work with Sungyeol? Just how could that be possible? Did he somehow save the emperor in his past life or something? After he hung up with Jae Hee, he immediately slipped into whatever clothes he found in his dressing, and was about to head to his office to view the contract when he was suddenly ambush by his mother's unnannounce visit. Although he loved his mother and her amazing ability to make him feel loved, she sure had the worst timing in the world. Just why now of all time?

"Mom, i have to go..."

"No you're not. It's still 8 AM and you only start to work at 9. So sit down and let me prepare breakfast for you". Myungsoo ran a frustrated hand through his hair and said in a tone, he hoped not too harsh

"I'd love that but maybe later. I really have to go."

"What do you mean you have to? It's been so long since we ate together and not working has made me nearly insane. So now as the son you should be, sit down and eat breakfast with me." Myungsoo mentally repressed a frustrated cry, but he reluctantly complied anyway.

"Ok then", Myungsoo said as he heavily let himself fall on his seat, and immersed in his thought. He was so focused that he barely even heard what his mother said until she waved her hand in front of him. Pulled out, then, from his thoughts, he asked

"Oh sorry mom. What did you say?" She studied him curiously then asked

"Are you ok?"

"What do you mean?" He asked, wondering what she meant by that. And it hit him. His mother was probably there because Sungyeol had return. She probably found that out from the news. Myungsoo's eyes soften up at that knowledge and as he smiled at the concern his mother had for him, he only said

"Don't worry. I'm fine."

"I see, that's good then", his mother said, abeit she wasn't entirely convince. And Myungsoo couldn't blame her, especially considering that she was one of the few witness of his breakdown. Funny, how he never thought Sungyeol would mean that much to him. How much he marked him in such a short period of time. Myungsoo guessed it wasn't all that weird. After all, Sungyeol wasn't your typical teenage guy. And still now he remained that incredibly perfect guy he remembered, although more intimidating than he used to be. But that only meant, he'll have to start over to get to know him again. And Myungsoo was more than fine with that.

"I'll win him back mom. No matter what, and if i can't have him. I'll still do whatever i can to help him", Myungsoo said in a determine tone unaware that he was going to have more than he initially bargained for. But that, it's a chapter of their journey that only time would unravel.
