After the fashion show, Margaux hosted an after party, in which everyone was invited. While everyone was conversing, Tao sat next to his Boss, feeling a little left out. Of course he didn't know how to speak french. It just made him feel out of place. He glanced over to his side and watched his Boss speaking french to their seat mate. The nanny furrowed his brow when he heard his Boss laugh.

He pouted a bit; at times like this, he wished that he could understand. Tao got up from his seat and walked over to the buffet line; he grabbed a plate and started to fill his plate.

'Hmpt! Stupid language barrier! 'Blah blah blah Kris.' 'Oh yeah, blah blah blah!' ' Tao said to himself as he stuffed his face with crab cakes. 'This is good. I should ask Xiumin to make some.' Tao continued to place crab cakes on his plate. He stepped to the side and accidentally bumped into someone. The nanny whipped his head, only to blush.

"In-Intae." Tao stuttered, having some of the crap cake bits from his mouth spit out. The more Tao's blush deepen. 'Oh freakin' god!! I did not just spit out the…I'm disgusting!!'

Intae chuckled and grabbed a napkin from the buffet table; he cleaned Tao's mouth. "There, all clean!" He said cheerfully.

"Thank you. I'm sorry about that."

"Its fine." Intae grabbed a plate and started to get some ham and slices of cheese. "How are you enjoying the after party?"

Tao pouted. "Not so great."

"Oh?"

The nanny sighed. "I dunno. I just feel like I don't belong here. Thats all. I mean heck…I don't even know what they are saying! I don't speak french. I only know korean and chinese!"

"Thats okay." Intae patted Tao's back. "Well, you got me to talk to. Would that make you feel better if we talked?"

The nanny glanced over at his Boss, who was conversing with other people now. He nodded and Intae led him to his table. They started to talk and Tao felt a little bit better. He was starting to smile and laugh with Intae.

"Are you going back to Korea after this?"

Tao shook his head. "No. My Boss extended our stay here. Just for 5 days."

"Oh! We should hangout then."

Tao tried his best to hold on to his squealing. "Sure. I mean…if you are not busy." 'Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!! Going on a date with Intae!!'

"Cool. May I have your number then?" Intae asked as he took out his cell phone from his jacket pocket.

"S-sure!" Tao knew that he shouldn't give out his number to strangers, but Intae is a celebrity. If a celebrity gives you their number, you take it. As Tao and Intae exchange numbers, the actor asked where he was staying in which Tao replied that he was unsure the name since it was in french, but described the exterior of the building.

"Oh! Le Fleur. That is where I am staying."

"Seriously? What floor?"

"I'm on the 12th."

"Oh, we are staying on the 6th floor."

"Tao." The nanny looked up to his Boss looking down at him. "What are you doing?"

"Huh? I'm talking to Intae." He pointed out.

Kris bit the inside of the cheek. "It's getting late. We should go back to the hotel."

Tao pouted a bit. He didn't want to go, but he was getting sleepy himself. "Okay." He turned to face Intae. "Goodnight…and thank you for talking to me." He smiled at him.

"No problem. Like I said, we should hangout."

"Yeah!" With that, he waved goodbye and walked out with Kris.

"What was that?"

"Huh?"

"What did he mean about…the hangout thing."

"Oh, well, he asked me to hangout. He is staying at the same hotel as us!"

'Oh great.' Kris thought. "That…nice."

"Yeah. Did you enjoy the night?"

Kris nodded. "Yeah. It was…nice." Nice until the end where he saw Tao talking with Intae.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

The next morning, Tao woke to the sound of a hair blow dryer going off. The nanny yawned a bit and rolled over to his side, facing the window. It was open slightly and it was a beautiful view of the Parisian streets.

"Oh, you're awake."

Tao turned over and saw Sehun already dressed. "Someone called this morning on your cell phone. I answered since it had a name on it…it was Intae."

"What?!" Tao got up from his bed, only to land on the floor.

"Whoa, calm down." The gardener rushed over to Tao and helped him up. "I told him that you were still asleep."

"But what did he ask for?"

"He wanted to know if you are doing anything this after noon. He was asking if you want to hangout with him."

Tao rushed over to his bedside stand and immediately called Intae.

"Hello?"

"Oh, Intae…um, my friend answered my phone this morning…ah, saying something about a hangout?"

"Oh yeah! Want to hangout on the boulevard that is in front of the hotel? They have lots of stores and I was wondering if you wanted to come with me."

"S-sure!"

"Great. I'm in the lobby right now. So, when you are ready just come down."

"Okay. I'll be down in a few."

With that, Tao hanged up and squealed, making Sehun widen his eyes. He had never seen the nanny this excited.

"W-whats going on?!"

Tao didn't answer him, but ran around the room to get his stuff. He soon headed to the bathroom.

"Okay…?" Sehun shook his head and resumed in combing his hair.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Tao quickly got out from the elevator and searched for the actor. Once he spotted him, they started to head out the door.

"Are you hungry? If you are, we should get something to eat first."

"No. I'm fi--" Tao's stomach started to growl, making Intae chuckle.

"It's settled then. First to a food cart stand." When they were standing outside, he looked both ways. "I know it is just a couple blocks down. It has good food too."

They started to walk and Tao was happy that today was sunny. Thankfully, Sehun lend him his camera so he could take pictures. Once they reached the food cart, Intae ordered their food in french.

"What did you get me?"

"I got you a 'croque madame' and I got the 'croque monsieur'."

"Um…yeah…I don't know…"

"The 'croque monsieur' and the 'croque madame' is like the grilled cheese sandwiches. The bread is square which is awesome by the way…um, the 'monsieur' is made of ham with a cheesy…béchamel sauce on the outside. The 'madame' which I got you has fried egg on the top of the 'monsieur' version."

"Monsieur, ton sandwich est fait." The vendor said at Intae.

"Merci Monsieur. Combien sont les sandwich?"

"Ils son cinq euro."

Intae nodded and handed the money to the vendor. "Merci." He handed Tao the plate of food with the 'croque madame' on it.

"It's good. Trust me."

Tao looked skeptical, but bit into the sandwich. The nanny's eyes widen. "It's good!"

"Told you." He chuckled as he bit onto his sandwich.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Kris woken up from his son's hands pushing him.

"Daddy…wake up."

"Hm?"

"Daddy wake up! There is someone in the door. I think it is mommy!"

Kris opened his eyes and turned over to face his son. "Okay, lemme get that." He his son's hair, who smiled back at him.

He got up and headed for the door. He was expecting to see Tao, but instead, he was facing the gardener.

"Morning Boss."

"Sehun? Where is Tao?"

"Oh, he got a call from a guy named Intae. He asked Tao to hangout for the day. So he went."

"Oh."

"Yeah. I was wondering if you wanted to hangout with me today. Xiumin, Chen, Chanyeol,and Baekhyun went out. So that leaves you, me, and the adorable young panda boy."

Yitao peaked from his father's legs and smiled.

"U-um, sure. Lemme just get dressed first. I just woke up."

"Oh yeah sure." Sehun walked in, uninvited. He sat on the chair and the tv. Yitao ran over to Sehun, asking the whereabouts of his 'mother' while Kris headed to the bathroom to get ready.

"Tao is hanging out with someone today."

"Huh? Who?"

"Hm, his name is Intae."

"In..tae?"

"Yes, He is an actor from Korea. Well, at least that is what Tao told me before he left the room like a crazy fan boy."

Yitao crossed his arms. "But I wanna play with mommy."

Sehun chuckled. "I know. You get to have him later. He is hangout with a friend."

"But I want mommy." He said as he quivered his lips. Sehun felt a little bad for the young panda. He really wanted to be with his 'mother' right now. He the young panda's head in comfort.

"Don't worry Yitao. You will see him later."

"Promise?"

"Yea." He smiled. Sehun looked over at the table and noticed there were pamphlets of Paris. He looked through them; he thought that a walk around the boulevard would be nice. 'Plus it's sunny.' Sehun smiled; he turned towards the young panda who was sitting now across from him.

"Yitao, you wanna go to the boulevard?"

"Whats that?"

"It is a street that is in front of the hotel. They have lots of stores and food. They might have a toy store around." Sehun chuckled. "Maybe you can ask your dad to buy you something."

Yitao's eyes widen; he liked that idea. "And maybe something for mommy?"

"Sure. Maybe something for mommy."

Yitao clapped with happiness. Kris came out of the bathroom, all dressed for the day. He looked at his son who was clapping happily.

"Daddy! Can we go to the bowl…vard?"

"The where?"

"What was the word again uncle Sehun?"

Sehun chuckled. "Its boulevard." He looked up at his Boss. "The one that is in front of the hotel. From that pamphlet, it says that it is filled with stores and great food."

"Yeah that!" Yitao jumped in his seat. "Can we go there?"

"Sure." He went over and picked up his son. "We can go there."

"Great! Lets go!!"

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Tao and Intae walked around the boulevard, enjoying the fresh air, window shopping at some stores, and even buying some items for themselves.

"Who are those for?" Intae asked as they were sitting down on a bricked ledge, resting their poor feet.

"My brothers and my father. They are living in China right now."

"Oh? Why are they not here with you? Or…better yet, why aren't they living in Korea?"

"Hm, my family aren't fond of flying. I guess you can say that I'm fearless when it comes to flying. Besides, my brothers and my father are in the hospital."

"Oh my…I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." Intae said with a worried expression. "That was wrong of me."

"No!" Tao waved his hands in defense. "Its fine. They are getting better. I talked with my elder brother couple days ago and he is doing okay."

"Ah, okay. Thats good that they are doing well."

Soon a ring was heard and it happened to be Intae's phone. "Sorry, lemme just take this. Excuse me." He got up and walked a few feet away from where Tao was sitting. As he was conversing to whoever was on phone, Tao smiled.

'Today is such an awesome day! I can't believe I get to hangout with Intae!' Tao nodded. 'Thought that he would find me to be a complete dork…but he thinks that I am cool to hang out with! Tao you are one lucky man!!'

"Sorry about that." Intae started to say. "My girlfriend called."

'Girlfriend?' "G-girlfriend?"

Intae nodded. "Yeah, my girlfri--oh…yeah…p-please don't say anything about this."

Tao tilted his head. 'Why is he being so secretive?' "Um, s-sure?" The nanny was curious, but he didn't want to seem rude and ask why. As if Intae read Tao's mind, he decided to tell him.

"Well, um…we've been dating exclusively...my girlfriend and I."

Tao widen his eyes. He read the magazines and watched the day time shows with Intae in it and it never mentioned that he had a girlfriend. 'He did a good job then.'

"Yeah…you know how people get…when they hear an actor or actress date someone else. They go crazy. I just didn't want to deal with that…so every time my girlfriend and I wanted to go out, we had to do it exclusively." Intae looked at Tao. "S-so please don't say it to anyone."

The nanny smiled. "I won't promise."

Intae smiled himself and grabbed his hand and held onto it. "Thank you! Thank you!"

Tao nodded. "Its fine." He sighed a bit; he was hoping that he would be gay, so that they could maybe go on more dates, then be boyfriends, and maybe get married, and adopt children, and live happily ever after. 'I always fall for the straight ones.'

"You okay?" Intae asked.

Tao looked up at him and slightly blushed. "Y-yeah! For sure!" He nervously chuckled. "Of course!"

The actor was unconvinced. 'Probably…oh…' He started to poke Tao's cheek. "You have a crush on me?"

Tao's face deepen into a darker shade of red. He started to cup his cheeks and shake his head back and forth. "N-no! I-I don't have a--" He started to whine. "Okay, okay. I'm a huge fan and I did have a crush on you! Okay!" The nanny covered his face in embarrassment. 'Now he knows!!'

He whipped his head up when he heard the actor laugh. "H-hey don't la--!"

"Sorry! S-sorry!" Intae tried resume his composure. "The way that you said it…and your face…its red like an apple!! That is just too adorable! Haha! Ah, I'm sorry." He wiped a tear from his eye.

The nanny stuck his tongue out at him. "Well, its…true." He said whispering the last part. He felt the actor pat his back.

"I'm sorry…for basically ruining your dream."

"Hm, its fine." Tao sighed. "I always manage to fall for the straight ones."

"Don't worry." He patted his head. "The right one is there. Somewhere…over the rainbow!" He started say in a sing-song voice, making Tao chuckle.

"I hope so."

"Here is a good luck peck for you!"

"Huh--"

Immediately, Tao was pecked on the cheek by his favorite celebrity. He wanted fan scream out loud, but figured that people would stare at them. He cupped his cheeks and did a mini squeal enough for himself and Intae to hear. The actor chuckled at how adorable, yet funny the nanny was.

Tao was going to say something, but he felt an immediate tug on his arm bringing him up to his feet. The nanny whipped his head around and saw his Boss with piercing eyes.

"B-Boss?"

Kris tugged him aside and glared at Intae. "Stay away from Tao."

THe actor was shocked. "S-sir? What do you --"

"Just stay away from him." With that he harshly tugged Tao away from him. The nanny was wide eyed; unsure how to react. He looked over his shoulder, giving an apologetic look at Intae. As he was being tugged, he saw Sehun, holding onto Yitao.

"Mommy!"

"Tao? Boss how did you --"

"We are going back to the hotel." Kris said, not even looking at the gardener.

"W-wait, Boss!" Sehun tried to go after him, but accidentally bumped into crowds of people. "Boss!!"

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

"S-sir?" By the they reached Kris' room, he pushed him inside, tripping on his feet in the process. Tao quickly turned around when he heard the door slammed closed.

"What's wrong with you?" The nanny raised his voice at his Boss. It was unbelievably rude of him to grab him, and take him away from Intae. "Well?! Aren't you going --"

"Why were you two kissing?"

'What?!' "We didn't kiss!"

Kris scoffed. "Yeah right. I guess my eyes are going bad."

In truth, as Sehun, Kris, and Yitao were walking down the boulevard, the dragon happened to see Tao and Intae, but from his angle, it looked as if Intae kissed Tao on the lips.

"We didn't!" Tao defended himself. "We didn't kiss!"

"Stop lying. You know a lie may take care of the present, but it has no future, Tao."

The nanny was starting to get angry. 'Fine then!' "Okay, we did kiss! So what?!" Well, it wasn't completely a lie; it was true, Intae gave him a peck, but it wasn't a kiss.

"He…what?!"

Tao crossed his arms. "We did. So what? He even told me that he likes me." Okay, that was a lie.

Kris' jaw dropped. Tao held his ground and waited for his Boss' response, but nothing came.

'Hmpt! Why does he even care? I don't belong to him! He told me to stop having this crush on him, so I'm basically moving on and trying my best! Why is he even mad at me?!' Tao's gaze became a dark one, staring down at Kris.

"He is lying to you."

Tao's eyes widen. "Lying?! How can he be even lying to me? You weren't even there!" 'He is being ridiculous!'

"Gee, I dunno Tao…maybe it is because he is an actor? He acts Tao! He probably acting the whole thing just so he can get a kiss from you!"

Tao studied his Boss' actions and realized something. "You're jealous!"

"W-what!"

The nanny pointed at him. "That has to be it! From last night you giving off this cold vibe! Ever since Intae came into the picture! You're jealous!"

"I'm not!" Kris said back.

"Are too! You are just jealous because he is way more handsome than you are!"

"I…wait…what?!"

"That has to be it!" Tao pointed out. "You are just jealous because he is way more handsome than you!!"

"Wha? No way I am jealous because he is way more handsome than I am!"

"Oh yeah?" Tao crossed his arms. "Then why? Why did you pull me away from him? Why are you so freakin' angry that he kissed me?" He started to tap his foot on the floor. "Well?"

Kris was unsure on what to say. He started to perspire and he secretly wished that the conversation ended.

"Do you like me?"

Kris looked up at the still crossed arm Tao, eyes still glaring at him with his sharp eyes. Nothing was said and Tao started to get impatient. 

"Well? Do you?"

'I think I do.' "No I don't"

Tao's eyes harden. "Oh really? Because right now...I'm getting this feeling that you do. With all what just happened, I feel that you like me."

Kris looked down, not wanting to feel anymore of the nanny's hard gaze. He scoffed. "What a hypocrite you are." He walked passed Kris and out the door, slamming it hard, making Kris slightly jump.

"."

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Tao made his way to his and Sehun's room. He slammed the door and made his way to his bed.

'Hypocrite. Stop having this crush on me Tao…yeah right. It is you who is crushing on me.'

Tao let out a frustrated sigh. Shouldn't he be happy that maybe Kris was having feelings for him? He should, but Tao was angry at him. Kris tells him one thing, not to have his crush on him, yet judging from the actions and how he was angry at him for "kissing" Intae, he starts acting like a jealous person. The nanny laid his head on the pillow. He didn't want to do anything. He just wanted to go home.

"Tao?"

The nanny didn't even turn. He knew it was Sehun, but still didn't turn for him.

"Um…are you okay?" Sehun tried to lay his hand on Tao's shoulder, but was too frighten to do so. "Um…I…erm, In-Intae gave me your bags. You left them behind." The Gardner placed the the bags beside his bed. "Yi-Yitao bought you something...a panda plush...for you." Tao still didn't responde, making the gardener worried. "Do you need anything? You want food? Something to --"

"Just leave me alone…please."

Sehun slowly nodded. He headed to the door and walked out; once he closed the door, he sighed and started to shake his head. 

'What's going on guys?'

 

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Many days pasted after their little vacation to Paris, it was quiet among them. Sehun informed the other works about what happened; they tried to comfort the nanny, but he wished to be alone. When the workers tried to speak with Kris, he told them that he was busy or that he doesn't want to be disturbed.

"I hope Tao…you know…feels better soon." Xiumin said with worry. "It just doesn't feel right you know? I mean Tao isn't his happy self…and Boss…is being cold with us."

The others nodded. "I know what you mean." Chanyeol sighed.

"I don't get it." Chen started as he crossed his arms. "Okay Sehun I think you were right on this one. Kris does like Tao…but why doesn't Kris just confess?"

"I don't know!" Sehun threw his hands in the air. "How should I know? He sighed. "I think he has too much pride."

"How so?" Chanyeol asked.

"I mean…his pride is in the way."

"What pride does he have? I mean, is it that hard to say, 'I like you. Lets go out'?" Xiumin responded. "It's so easy. The worst thing is that Tao says no. Which he won't."

Sehun shrugged. "I don't know…I don't know."

The workers heard foot steps coming and they turned to see that it was their Boss.

"Here." He handed the money to Xiumin. "Give this to Tao please. It is his pay."

"M-me? Why not you --"

"Just do it…please." With that Kris left, heading to his office.

Xiumin sighed and told the others that he will be back. He headed to Tao's room and knocked.

"Tao? It's me…Xiumin."

The door opened; Xiumin couldn't believe what was in front of him. The Tao in front of him was expressionless, as if nothing mattered to him anymore.

"Here is your…pay Tao. Are you okay?"

Tao didn't say anything, but nodded at the chef. He took his money from his hands and quickly closed the door.

The chef sighed and started to head back to the kitchen with the others. He saw Yitao running, knowing very well where the young panda is going.

"Um, Yitao."

The young panda stopped in his tracks. "Yes uncle Xiumin?"

"M-mommy isn't feeling well right now. Why don't you stay with us for awhile?"

Yitao pouted a bit. "Okay…"

Xiumin slowly smiled and held out his hand for the young panda to take. As they were walking back, Yitao looked over his shoulder at his 'mother's' door.

"Mama?" He softly said.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Tao counted the money that he got and the money that he saved.

'This should be enough.' He sighed and hoped that what he was doing was right. He didn't want to be here anymore and tonight he would make his move.

Later that night, once everyone went to bed, Tao snuck out of his room, carrying his bags. Looking both ways, making sure that the coast was clear, he crept out, holding onto papers. He wrote everyone a small note that he was leaving.

He slipped one under Xiumin and Chen's room, one under Sehun's room, and even under the young panda's room, though it was more of a drawing than written words. Lastly, he was at his Boss' room. He stood there, staring at the door; he slowly placed his hand on it.

'Boss…I can't be here anymore…you said that you want me to stop having his crush on you…I'm trying my best…but here you are…getting angry at me for hanging out with someone…what I don't understand is why you get mad at me…when clearly we aren't even together. Do you like me?' Tao paused as if someone would answer. 'Maybe it would be the best for both of us if I just leave. So I can stop having this crush on you and get over you...and so that you can go back to your happy self'. he sighed a bit and looked at the note that he was going to give to his Boss. Tao shook his head and taped it on his door.

With that, he quickly left the mansion. He waited for the taxi, by the gate; once it was there, the taxi driver helped Tao with his bags. He looked at the mansion that he once lived in and sighed.

"Ready sir?"

"Um…yeah." Tao said as he got inside.

--- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Tao checked his watch as he was in line.

'03:32am…so that means I'll--'

"Next in line please."

Tao looked up and wobbled his way to the desk, carrying his backs in the process.

"How may I help you?"

"One way ticket."

"To where?"

"To Qingdao, Shandong, China."
