"Young Do opened his eyes suddenly and awoke startled by the ringing of the doorbell. He rose rather angrily and frustrated by the fact he wasn’t able to enjoy some sleep. Recently, every single night he had gone clubbing and drinking with Myungsoo. After all, he was a single free man now. Nothing could stop him. Nothing. In fact, in Myungsoo's point of view, Young Do had been quite well with the break up. He even changed up his hairstyle a bit by leaving it down rather than gelled up. And at almost every single club, floods of ty girls would try to approach Young Do, immediately attracted by his mysterious, charming looks and also hungry for his money. This was the Choi Young Do after all, and even during his relationship with Ae Cha they had gone clubbing together quite often. But Young Do's actions surprised Myungsoo, because although Young Do never turned the ty girls away, he never really showed much interest in them. He had never took any of them home and in fact, Young Do had never even seen his best friend dance with any of the girls or buy them drinks. And deep down, Young Do knew, he hadn't been dealing with the separation well, because none of those girls were as good as Ae Cha.  He actually dreaded going to the clubs every night, but partying helped him take his mind off of things for a while. But drinking and dancing and hearing the loud music thud through his body was only temporary, and often times at four or five am in the morning, Young Do would sit up on his bed thinking about all the things that had gone wrong, so terribly wrong. His frequently recalled and hung on to his precious memories with Ae Cha, and always thought out scenarios in which he would make things back to normal again, he would treat her right. But things are easier said than done.

"Master Young Do shi"- he immediately snapped out of his thought upon hearing the call of one of his butlers. And he was pissed. Pissed by the fact his nap was interrupted, pissed at his butler for bothering him, pissed at himself. 

"What the hell do you want from me?!"

"Mianhae. However, Butler Lee from Miss Ae Cha's household has come to see you." 

"Bwoh?"

"Butler Lee did not specify as to why he is here, but he wishes to talk to you first."

Without even replying, Young Do hurriedly rushed to the door in his simple white v-neck and grey sweats. Anyone who had any sort of connection to Ae Cha was important to him. After speed walking down the long halls of his penthouse, and turning sharply along feel corners, Young Do finally made it to his front door, where Butler Lee was standing. 

Butler Lee turned around at the sound of Young Do's footsteps and bowed down deeply before saying "Sorry for the sudden visit Mr. Young Do shi."

Young Do stared at the man from head to toe. Observing his body language and his face, but his eyes subsequently fell upon the brown boxes resting near the butler's feet.  In a curious voice Young Do replied "괜찮아요. Gwenchanayo. But if I may ask, what exactly are those boxes for?"

"Oh, yes sorry. Miss Lee Ae Cha wishes to take her various belongings back from your household. She understands she used to frequently stay over and is apologetic about leaving many of her items here over the years.  She wishes to take them back." Those words were left ringing repeatedly over and over again within Young Do's head. This was the final confirmation of the end of their relationship. She wanted nothing to do with him. She wanted him to leave her alone. She was done with him. And for that split second, Young Do desperately wished that he had never woken up to this nightmare. He had genuinely thought, after a few weeks of cooling down, the both of them could possibly meet up and get together again. But this was too much. Too much for him to handle at the moment, and honestly, Young Do wanted to break down and cry out of exasperation, he wanted to punch a wall to let all his anger flow out. And yet at the same time he also wanted to rush over to Ae Cha's place, apologize; get down on his knees to ask for her forgiveness. To make everything right. But Young Do knew, he had to keep his cool, he needed to keep a calm face, and after taking a deep breath he forced a tight smile on his face and replied "Tell Ae Cha there is no need for apologies." 

An awkward silence followed where neither man spoke. The atmosphere felt icy cold for a few moments before Butler Lee coughed awkwardly and broke the silence "Well Mr. Young Do shi if you allow me, it will only take me a ten or fifteen minutes to collect her belongin-"

Young Do interrupted instantly to those words. "Butler Lee, I hope you understand, but I wish to do that personally." Once again the atmosphere fell silent and it almost felt as if time had been stopped for a few moments. The tension was overwhelming but Butler Lee had no choice but to agree with Young Do's wishes.

With two boxes in hand, Young Do headed towards his room. He trudged on slowly, trying to stall for as much time possible, and the walk towards his room wasn’t exactly the shortest. His mind was swirled with thoughts and he found it hard to process them one at time. And before he knew it, he had reached the doubled doors to his man cave. Young Do sighed for a brief second and with an exhausted heave he twisted both knobs slowly. He hadn't been sleeping in his room recently; the couch had been his home for the past weeks. And no matter how hard he tried telling himself the couch was just an easier cashing place from the entrance of his apartment, Young Do knew his room just had too many traces of Ae Cha in it. When he stepped inside, the first thing that hit him was the intoxicating smell of his own scent mixed in with Ae Cha's. The smell of her refreshing, pungent yet rich jasmine, lavender perfume from Dior and his own crisp, musky cologne from Prada made him want to hold her just once more. One more time, so that he could inhale deeply into her neck, to wrap his arms around her tiny frame, and to rest his head gently on the top of her head. And with another sigh, Young Do took two more steps further into his room and simply just looked around. He looked at the sitting area by the fireplace to his right, he looked at his massive, white king-sized bed right in front of him along with a magnificent view of Seoul through a large window, and to a pair of white French doors to his left, which led to the master bathroom and walk in closet. Young Do had been scared to come back to his own room, scared of all the things that might remind him of Ae Cha. Ae Cha had practically lived with him starting from the beginning of last year. It had simply started as a few overnight stays once every two or so weeks, but as time progressed Ae Cha's stays had been more and more frequent and had often left various items of clothes, jewelry, perfume, shoes, makeup, everything. And similar to the feeling of having just been slapped straight across the face, Young Do suddenly recalled waking up next to Ae Cha during the weekends. He loved waking up to find Ae Cha snuggled into his chest with one of her arms wrapped over his side, and to find himself holding her ever so gently. 

*flashback*

Ae Cha had just groggily opened her eyes. She felt a pair of arms wrapped around her waist and smiled to herself as she woke up in Young Do’s arms. She buried her face back into the warmth of his chest and placed her hands over his torso. And at that moment she suddenly felt his grasp around her tighten and she chuckled while punching his chest slightly.

“Young~ I know you’re awake now” Ae Cha whispered softly into his ear. No response came back. Ae Cha smiled to herself and further added, “You’ve always been a terrible actor.” And still, Young Do remained quite, feeling quite happy and struggling to prevent himself from bursting out. “Fine baby, if you want to play hard to get, I can to.” Just as she was about to climb out of the warmth of the bed, she felt somebody grasp onto her wrist. Ae Cha couldn’t help but laugh, “You’re such a tease Young~” Ae Cha then quickly crawled back into bed, planting a quick peck on his lips. But that wasn’t enough for Young Do and in one swift movement he flipped Ae Cha over, right on top of him. Time stood still as their lips moved together sweetly making her forget how annoying he was. His soft, warm lips tasted sweet and Ae Cha could feel him smiling.

Ae Cha then suddenly pulled back and said “Young Do baby.”

“Yeah?”

“Go gel your hair up, I don’t like it down.” Ae Cha murmured teasingly.

Young Do couldn't help but laugh, “Love you too Ae Cha.”

*end of flashback*

Young Do sighed. Although it was hard to admit, he really missed her. He missed her so bad, but he was Choi Young Do and he needed to keep his pride. After a few more moments of reminiscing, Young Do resumed to finding Ae Cha’s various items. And within a mere fifteen minutes he was nearly done, but there was one thing he just couldn’t bear giving back to her. A Swarovski diamond pearl necklace-her favorite necklace. He had given it to her during Christmas a few years back, and Ae Cha wore it religiously every single Christmas afterwards. She had cried her eyes out of joy that day and nothing could’ve made him feel more content than her happiness. That moment had felt so perfect. And with that last memory, with a heavy box full of Ae Cha’s items, Young Do made the long walk back to his massive foyer where Butler Lee was waiting.

“Butler Lee, I apologize for taking so long, it was rather difficult to find Ae Cha’s items.”

“No worries Mr. Young Do shi. And before I leave, I must inform you that Miss Ae Cha and her parents would like to meet with you and your parents tonight for dinner at the Meridian.”

“Bwoh?”
