The vacation has end. It’s their last day at Jeju, and Taeyeon was packing her things. Her hands stop midway as her eyes stop on the box at the bed. It’s the things Jooeun gave her last night. She sit at the bed and opened the box slowly. A couple of bracelet. The bracelet that can be lock, two set of keys also inside the box, lying beside the bracelet.

“Here.” Taeyeon only took the box without another words.

Jooeun smile. At least Taeyeon received it. “That’s the gift I kept for years. I bought it for us. A couple bracelet.” Taeyeon opened the box and look at the things inside flatly.

“If one day, you forgive me, I hope you want to wear it, and give the other pair to me.” Jooeun gave her a smile. It’s almost 9 now. They’re waiting for Leeteuk outside Jooeun room as Leeteuk’s the only person that hold the key to unlock their locked hands.

Taeyeon didn’t said a word. Things had been running in her mind now. She’s in dilemma. Not long after that Leeteuk appear and unlock their metallic. Jooeun gave Leeteuk a grateful smile. Her eyes then averted to Taeyeon.

“Oneul buteo gomawoyo, Taeyeon-ah..” Taeyeon didn’t relied back as she had start walking alone, leaving the place. Jooeun eye her back as Taeyeon slowly disappear at the hallway.

“Gomawo, Leeteuk-ssi.” Leeteuk nod his head. He then excused himself and followed Taeyeon.

Taeyeon examined the bracelet. She took out one from the box. And squint her eyes. There’s Jooeun name carved in the bracelet. She take a look at another pair and her name was carved on it. She bit inside her cheek. And exhaled. She closed the box and pack it with all her things. She don’t want to think right now. As she kept thinking, her head get more ache.

Leeteuk went back after a short meeting with Sandeul outside. As he walk to the room, he saw Taeyeon was packing her things now. He came to her and gave her a back hug.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t join the breakfast.” he murmured at her hair.

“Hmm..” Taeyeon simply answer.

Leeteuk turn Taeyeon to face her, and the woman only gave her a flat look. Okay, she’s still mad at him for setting a meeting with Jooeun without her knowing.

He cupped her face and gave her a kiss at the lips. “Mianhae..” he grin.

Taeyeon clucked her tongue and turn around, about to continued to pack her things. But Leeteuk turn her around again facing him. He took out something from his pocket and hand it to Taeyeon.

Taeyeon frown. She eyes the thing at Leeteuk hand. She took it, and turn it around. It’s a photo of her and Jooeun last night. She was smiling in the photo, with Jooeun. Too close. That people will think they’re the best friends.

“I met her, and she asked me to give it to you.” Taeyeon nodded, and continued to pack her own things again.

Leeteuk shook his head and sit at the bed. Observing Taeyeon.

“How did last night went?”

“What would you like to think.” Taeyeon answered nonchalantly as she’s zipping her luggage now. She walk away from Leeteuk, but Leeteuk managed to pull her hand, making her end up in his lap with him back hug her.

Taeyeon could only sit at his lap as he hug her. “I can see how sincere she’s. Geunyang.. I don’t want you to regret it too late.”

Taeyeon exhaled loudly. Her mind still in a mess right now. She doesn’t have any idea of what she should do right now. Forgiving the person that did wrong to her sound taboo to her. She want to laugh at their face. How funny they’re. As if asking forgiveness are a trend right now.

“What should I do?” she mumbled quietly.

“Just what your heart tell you to do.”

Taeyeon moved her position to sideway and clung her arm at Leeteuk neck. Resting her head at her neck and thousand thought running through her mind. I don’t even know what my heart tell me to.

Leeteuk brushed her hairs. He understand how she felt right now. Taeyeon still need time.

“Jaein-ah, Kajja!” Jaein nodded her head at her brother as she hop down from Taeyeon lap. Coincidentally, they also check out at the same time and head to airport at the same time. Since Jaein still want to spend her time with Taeyeon, she had been with Taeyeon till her flight time. She play for a while with Taeyeon, till the times comes she had took her flight back to Seoul.

Taeyeon gave her a smile and rub her head. “Eonnie will see you at Seoul later.” Jaein nodded and offer her small pinky fingers to Taeyeon. Taeyeon chuckled, Jaewon that saw it grew amused and can’t help but to smile at his own sister.

Taeyeon link her pinky fingers to Jaein. “Promised.” she gave Jaein a kiss on the cheek, and Jaein also gave her the kiss. She waved to Taeyeon before disappearing slowly, heading to the plane. The flight for PK Group still in an hour. And Taeyeon decided to buy a coffee for herself.

She was checking on her phone as she walk. A usual things for her, an amazingly and fortunately, she hasn’t crashed to someone till now when she’s too focused at her own phone. But not today. She bumped into someone's chest and look up.

“You should stop that habit of yours.” Leeteuk said in amused. Taeyeon could only gave him a small smile.

“Where’re you going to?”

“Coffee.” Leeteuk nodded his head and walk with Taeyeon together to starbucks, holding her waist.

“Appa’s going to Prague today, want to stay with me at the mansion?”

Taeyeon look at him. “Prague?” she repeated.

“Hmm..”

Taeyeon nodded. “Geurae..” Leeteuk smile and give her a kiss at cheek.

Seoul, 8.00 pm

Taeyeon trailed her fingers at the lines of books at Leeteuk rooms. Right after the dinner, Leeteuk had went to the library downstairs with Sandeul regarding on the company's new project. And left her at his room. She had change into her white boyfriend shirt, showing much at her own thighs. She has come to the mansion more than twice, but coming in to Leeteuk room, it’s her first time.

Her fingers then stop as she found the photo that was arranged amongst the books. She took a photo where it’s a photo of him, Mr. Park and the late wife. The little Leeteuk had a pale skin, too pale even. Not much different with his mother. They were hugging with Leeteuk in the middle. And little Leeteuk look happy to be with his parents. His dearest parents.

She smile and put back the frame at its place. She continued to look for a book to read. She didn’t took much of her things back at penthouse. Only one or two clothes that would be used for bed and tomorrow at work. She didn’t even get the chance to take her laptop. More like Leeteuk prevent her from taking it.

She then took a seat at Leeteuk desk after found the book that has catch her interest. She started to drown herself at the book while waiting for Leeteuk to be back. As she flipped to the next page, her phone rings. She walk to the bedside and check who send her message at this time.

An unsaved number, but Taeyeon know who is it. Mrs. Goo. she never save her number, because she felt like she doesn’t want anything more to do with her.

Taeyeon-ah, let’s have a lunch tomorrow at Blue Sunset.
I’ll be waiting there.
-Eomma-

Taeyeon deleted the text and went back to her position and continued reading. She didn’t have a time tomorrow only for her. There’s too much things waiting for her at the company tomorrow. And having lunch with her mom.. Wasting my time. That’s what she thought.

Almost 11. Leeteuk went back to his room after his meeting with Sandeul regarding the company project had end. He eyed the bed, still tidy, like it never been used. He then turn his head to left. There, a woman was sleeping at the big chair, with her book at her lap.

He walk to her, and took the book from her lap slowly, not wanting to awake her. But he know, Taeyeon is a light sleeper. As he put the book at the desk, Taeyeon stir in her sleep. Leeteuk gave her a smile and carry her bridal style to bed, as Taeyeon clung her arms to his neck automatically.

He laid her at the bed, and close the main lamp, turning on the bedside lamp. He laid beside Taeyeon and welcome Taeyeon in his arms. Taeyeon snuggled to his neck and mumbled a goodnight to her before slowly, only her breath that can be heard in those big and quiet room. He gave her a kiss at head, mumbled the same goodnight to Taeyeon, and soon followed her to dreamland.

“Get in.” Taeyeon said as someone knock her office door. She didn’t mind to raise herself up from the file she’s reading right now. It’s either Nayoung, or Minah, or Jookyung, perhaps Sandeul. Only 4 of them that would knock her office door before getting in. Leeteuk would barge into her office. Why not? He’s higher than Taeyeon. Right?

A heels voice echo at Taeyeon office. And the person didn’t said a words. Instead a sounds of plastic could be heard. She raised her head, and frown at Jooeun that now preparing the meals at the coffee table. She turn around and smile at Taeyeon.

“I bought us lunch.” she grin. Taeyeon exhaled. She didn’t have time to eat right now. Don’t mind her, Kim Taeyeon.

Jooeun frowned when Taeyeon only continued to her work. She then glance at the foods she just bought. Leeteuk said Taeyeon doesn’t like crowded place, thus end up she never went down to cafeteria for lunch, only those time when Leeteuk had to force her. No more than that. She even had to ditch Akira and went up here only to have lunch with her.

She walk to Taeyeon, and pulled her hands. Taeyeon almost cursed to her.
