Days passed and Taeyeon was starting to get urgent. She couldn't get to wooyoung much recently because nichkhun had been sticking to him all the time. She couldn't even hold a decent conversation with wooyoung without nichkhun being there. such a leech.. taeyeon muffled. She looked up and saw the same sight she had seen for the past few days, wooyoung and nichkhun walking along the school corridors chatting like never before AGAIN. She was partially at her limit and really couldn't stand the sight any further. She stomped up to them and dragged wooyoung aside.

"We need to talk. In private" she said, throwing glares at nichkhun.  

"Hey tae whats up."

"Now that you have nichkhun, i'm not your friend anymore?" she said, sounding slightly pissed then she was suppose to.

"hey...what's with that. i know i owe you alot.. i'm sorry that i used you previously in a way. But we are definitely friends. Dinner, tonight?" he replied apologetically.

"You are forgiven. Dinner it is, tonight."

She left with an unknowingly satisfied expression. Wooyoung returned to join nichkhun who was waiting for him outside the lecture hall for their next class.

"Everything alright?" nichkhun asked concernly.
"Everything is fine." he replied, throwing the warmest smile.
"Good."

The day went passed really quick, and now here was wooyoung preparing to go out to meet Taeyeon for dinner. He styled up his hair and put on some pants and a fitting top. Satified with himself, he left the house, feeling the best of moods.

*

Today is the day. I must at least find out the place where his parents hid the documents. The man had been pressing me for it for the pass few days and he threatened to drop me if i'm incapable of doing so. I looked into the mirror and let out a huge sigh. When did i started looking this stressed up? I dressed up in my best skirt and tanktop along with a statement necklace. I slid on my platforms and left the house.
He was already waiting there when i got there. My heart couldn't help but to skip a beat when i saw how he was dressed. Casually yet looking stunning. I shook my head, feeling absurb upon realizing my thoughts. I feigned the best smile and ran to his side.

"Did you wait long?"
"Nope, let's head in. I'm starving." wooyoung chuckled.

*

They ordered a bottle of champagne and a steak each for both of them. Taeyeon looked warily at wooyoung, thinking of how to start the conversation such that it would not seem suspicious. However, wooyoung started without taeyeon having the chance to breathe a word.

"So are you recently?" he asked, munching on a piece of steak.

"Bad..because i got ditched by a certain someone in the middle of a movie." she replied wittily.

"Who was the one sound asleep?" he laughed.

"Fineee..." taeyeon whined. "But it doesn't help that you ignored me days after and got all cozy with that nichkhun who i think hates me."

"Well.. things got complicated. But i'm having dinner with you now, aren't I?" Wooyoung replied happily. He loved the fact that Taeyeon was someone he could talk comfortably to despite the time they took knowing each other was short and relatively awkward. Who kisses a stranger randomly? He laughed at the thought of that. He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't hear Taeyeon's words.
"Woo. hey there?" taeyeon whipped her hands infront of his face trying to get his attention.

"Eh? Yes yes sure." he replied instinctively, realizing he had been spacing out.
Taeyeon took the chance. "So it's on. Movies at your house tonight." she smiled, finishing the last piece of her steak.

"What??" he questioned confusingly at her smile.

They arrived at wooyoung's house soon after their prompt dinner. Wooyoung went to switched on the television, and went to hunt for the movie disc. Taeyeon began to work. She glanced at every inch of the house, trying to find out where the hidden area was. She had investigated a few days before and found out that it was most likely hidden in a secluded space in the house and definitely the first storey. She was relieved because it meant she doesn't have to search for the second storey too. She took the chance to rummage through some stacks of papers at the corner beside the tv when wooyoung was upstairs trying to find the disc. He was oblivious to the situation. She was getting urgent, the clock was ticking and wooyoung may come down anytime soon. She spotted a brown envelope peeking out from the drawer from the far end of the house, near to the kitchen. She scurried over, trying to make close to no noise as possible. She whipped the document out, trying to confirm its identity.

She flushed a wide smile knowing that she had found the thing she had been looking for. Without a twitch, she hurriedly stuffed the document inside her bag before wooyoung came back down after rummaging his room for the disc.

"I think the disc is playing hide and seek with me, i can't find it anywhere tae." he said with a pout.

"eh.." she replied , trying to settle her fast heartbeats. "that's fine then, let's watch another day!" she said, grabbing her bag and was soon at the door. "See you." she flashed a smile at wooyoung before closing the door shut.


"Woah.. what was that all about?" he stood there confusingly, however didn't give much concern and continued with his things. He turned off all the lights and went back to sleep.

"Hey how was dinner yesterday" Nichkhun asked as he slip beside wooyoung who was on the way to class.

"It was good, and really fun." He tried to sound like he enjoyed it very much.

"Better then it was, with me?"

"What if i said yes?" he glanced, lifting his left brow.

"Fine then." nichkhun grumbled, obviously jealous and left towards his lecture hall, leaving wooyoung behind. Wooyoung couldn't help but to chuckle at the sight and continue his way to class as well. Hours went by and wooyoung left for home alone because nichkhun still had sub classes and stuffs to attend to. He opened the door to see his mother standing there looking right back at him.

"Baby darling, where's the brown envelope that was here?" Mrs jang said, trying to force a smile.

"Mom! What brings you back here?" Wooyoung replied, and pulled a hug to his mother.

"I thought i should drop by to visit you and grab something along the way for your father," she continued, trying to remain calm. "But darling, where's the envelope we left here?"

"What envelope?" wooyoung replied, completely oblivious to the situation.

Wooyoung sat the couch while waiting for his mother who was on the phone, in the kitchen.
 
*

"I think someone took the envelope away dear, i can't find it anywhere!" Mrs jang whispered on the phone with her husband.

"What? How can it be? It's the safest there, with wooyoung."

"I think someone got to him and came to take it without him noticing. Told you we should have told him about it, at least he would help us guard it."

"You know i don't want our son to get involved in this."

"Now what? It's not safe here, I am going to bring our son back with me." she hung up the phone.

Wooyoung tilted his head cheekily and smiled back at his approaching mother. "Mommmmmm, i missed you." he stood up and hugged her.

"Then you are coming back to states with me."

"What?" he broke the hug and looked at her astonishingly. Things started going by really fast. One moment his mother was packing all his stuffs into the luggage and the next, they were at the airport trying to buy a ticket. She shrugged off most of wooyoung's questions, and reassuring him that everything will be fine.
"But mom.. what about school?" he tugged her shirt. "and why so sudden??"

They settled in a restaurant in the airport as the earliest flight they could book was 11pm. It was only 8pm now. They ordered some food and mrs jang stared back at his son.

"At least tell me how long we will be going back for, mom. I mean.. i have a life here.. friends and all. And there's school which i barely completed, which i only studied for a few months." he huffed, "You can't just bring me back to states without a reason."

"Son, will you trust me?" Mrs jang gave him a sad look, without answering his question. Wooyoung saw the look and know that he does not have any chance into beating his mother into this conversation. He gave up and whipped out his phone, typing a text messages to several of his friends. He made it short and simple. He then took out his phone battery and began tucking into the food that just arrived. He looked up to his mother and smiled slightly. He sure loved this place and everyone here, but he loved his mother more. Maybe it was god's way of telling him all of the happiness the past few weeks were too good to be true.  

*

'Thank you for the past weeks. It had been fun, glad we sorted things out.' Nichkhun read. What..? why does this sound like a farewell text, haha. This guy, trying to play around with me again huh. He chuckled, not paying much attention to the text and tucked into bed. He is so going to get it from me tomorrow... he mumbled slightly before falling asleep.

Nichkhun woke up the next day feeling rather giddy and really tired. He slept too well for his own good. He lugged himself out of bed, washed himself up and left for school. He felt questionably weird while he strolled to school. Someone crashed into him halfway and he looked up to see Chansung.

"Did wooyoung really left for states???" he shouted, agitately.

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't he send you a message? See what he sent me." Chansung took up his phone and the message was screened.

'Chansung ah. I'm going back to states, don't miss me :P'

"I tried calling him after i saw this but his phone wasn't on." he continued "Do you know what's with the sudden decision?"

Nichkhun stood there not knowing how or what to feel. This guy... "What's wrong, isn't this his speciality, disappearing without letting anyone know..." he pushed chansung aside and continue his way to school. He was curious, worried and very angry. How could he not tell me anything? he growled at the thought of it.

*

Many years had passed since then.

Wooyoung looked into the mirror, while his housemaid adjusted his tie. He tidied his hair and went down to the dining table to join his parents for breakfast.

It has been years since that day he was unexpectedly taken back to states. When he arrived there, his father arranged for him a place in his company. Wooyoung never asked or questioned his parent's decision. He went by it, although his heart was somewhere else.
They soon left for work in their limo and was welcomed by a string of other workers who bowed and greeted both of them politely. A man with a tall built went beside wooyoung and began telling him his schedule for the day. Taecyeon was wooyoung's assistant. He was assigned by Mr jang to slowly teach him the ropes of the company and assist wooyoung. It was hard at first, because he had to be taught from the basics. However, wooyoung learnt quite fast, afterall he had business as his minor.

"..and that will be all." Taec said, following him into the elevator.

"Thank you."

Wooyoung entered his office, sat down and started his work. He had an appointment with Mr Z later in the afternoon, so he couldn't risk being late.

*

"Why haven't they taken any action yet, mr jang?" Mr jang's partner asked. "Maybe they had taken the wrong document all along? It has been years, if they wanted to take us down, they would have done so by now."

"I'm very sure what they took was the right one." Mr jang replied. "I'm not sure why they never made the move but this time grace is a chance for me to find out any of their illegal secret. We need to find it quickly, so continue the investigation." Mr jang said, escorting his partner out.

He looked outside of the big window and pondered. Mr jang knew who was the one who had that document in hand, it was Bass. They had been trying to get hold of it but never managed to, he knew that allowing his son to go back to korea was a bad idea, and that leaving that document unprotected was even worse. He held his head down in regret. He never thought that they will track all the way to korea, it was a states thing afterall. Those were documents that could potentially destroy his company.  Aish..i should have burned it. he sighed.

*

It was another long day for wooyoung. He laid down at his king sized bed, ed the first few buttons of his shirt and loosened his tie. The appointment with Mr Z this afternoon made him thought alot.

"What is the company's situation now?" Mr Z blurted. Wooyoung looked at him, baffled by the sudden question. "I mean.. you know .. about Bass and your father. I heard that Bass has the upperhand now."

"I'm sorry sir, i've not heard anything about this conflict." he replied kindly.

*

What about Bass? I know he was the one who wanted to take over our company, since i heard rumors here and there at the lobby everyday. I didn't thought it was that serious.... Come to think of it, what was the document mother was looking for years ago? All these thinking were making wooyoung's head hurt. "Ah...I don't know anymore!!" he raged and went to sleep.
