‘The show is over Jiyong-sshi. Didn’t you say that I’m your genie?’

‘Taeyeon-ah, please don’t be like that’

‘Now, I grant your wish. You want me leave, don’t you? Then I’ll leave. You said you’re the reason of all my pain and tears. Then we shall not see each other again.’

‘No… Don’t say that. I can’t be without you.’

‘But I can.’

‘Please…’

‘This is for real, Jiyong-sshi. Thank you for all the love and memories you gave me. Hope you’re always happy’

Month has already passed, but that one particular girl still couldn’t move from the truth.

That the love of her life still there.

That her man never meant to leave her.

It was just a dirty game, played by her own beloved company. Honestly, she already guessed this situation. Being with them for almost ten years makes she understand how they work. How they handle things, how they clear their messes, how they defense mechanism, it was too familiar, typical SM.

She knew the new Kim CEO wasn’t too fond of Jiyong, but Jiyong’s presence has already embedded into SM’s fellas. Too strong to be kicked by him. And this bull was surely his source of light. So he took the chance, very smoothly.

Killing two birds by one stone.

Shoot down the scandal and Jiyong’s name at the same time.

The memories of her goodbye at Dolce Vita rushed into her mind. Dolce vita was the last place they see each other and hear each other’s voice. She couldn’t lie to herself that his eyes were heartbreaking. Pain and hurt was clearly shown in his eyes but she were convincing herself that it was just her tired mind’s illusion.

Find out later, it wasn’t.

That one stupid dragon-girl.

“Aigoo Taeyeon-ah.”

“Annyeong Dae Yong Oppa, long time no see.” Taeyeon hug the older man warmly.

“Yes it’s been a quite long. My daughter miss you and the girls.”

“Ah… I and Tiffany talked about her last night. She must’ve be a pretty girl now.”

“Yes, she’s entering her first grade of elementary school this month. Aigoo you can’t imagine how active she turned into.” The older man laughed upon remembering his daughter.

“So, I’m sorry for disturbing your time oppa, but I want to ask some help and I thought you’re the right person.”

“Spill, Taeyeon-ah. I’ll help you.”

“It’s related to my latest problem with Jiyong.”

The man’s body stiffened upon hearing her words. Nevertheless, he guessed this coming. Right after he received Taeyeon’s message, somehow he sensed that it’ll all about Jiyong’s scandal. He knew SNSD since their debut and admired their bond. It was truly indestructible. Taeyeon herself also awed him. The way she lead such a powerful group is brilliant. First time he talked to her was in some broadcasting. He praised her when sh
