*slowly walk over taking a seat at a specific bench and stares up ahead at the river. Decides to have serenity stay over with her grandparents so I can just walk and clear off my mind. Now that I have arrived at my destination, I stared in dazed at the railing the leads down over to the river the flows every memory*
So much has happened..... would have been a year
*wipes away my eyes when the tears starts building up and sliding, luckily it was night time and not much people are around. Starts remembering those time when I encountered the other in my life, how he was questioning me and the time when we became intimate... I missed them, but I knew nothing can last forever. Looks down with my finger that was playing with my ring finger that no longer owns the band given to me*
Bogum... im sorry
*wipes away my tears while mumbling to myself, my shoulder was drooping this time letting my elbow rest on my knee and my face being covered with my hand*

@pαrĸ вoɢυм * The doctor stated over at your direction and nods, “ I see.. then I will discuss the situation to them as well once they come by. As for now I have to go check on other patient as well as see if there is any news about the results for your spouse.” He gives another nod before parting ways Along the hallway around this hospital floor letting you have this moment to call the parents.*
*with the arrival of my parents, my mom quickly rushed inside the room after talking to a nurse in the counter the room for ‘lee taemin.’ She lets out a sad look already broken into tears as she held onto the hand of her son feeling her chest aching to see her own son laying down on a hospital bed. The father steps in soon after to have sight of his son and wife as he turned his over at your direction meeting you for the first time. Before he could say anything, Taemin’s mom looked over at your direction, “what happened? Why is my son like this? Where is my granddaughter?” Taemin’s father held her back when she was crying as the husband tried to soothe and calm her down by saying that her son is still fine and to not pressure the boy who saved her son by bringing him to the hospital. Taemin’s mom turned away and sat beside the hospital bed to hold the hand of taemin as the father let out a small sigh to see his wife in such a terrible mood, he approaches you and place his hand to rest one on your shoulder and gives it a small squeeze “we will be here.. you go find your daughter... our granddaughter. Please bring her back safely” he looked at you for moment before turning to stand beside his wife to watch his son sleep*

Serenity went back to on the dirty mattress her eyes puffy red from crying and nose red from rubbing it with her sleeves, she looks over at the door hearing the door unlocking and opening to see the two men that abducted her as she scoot back pressing herself against the wall seeing the man who held the phone approach her, “hey kid, your dad wants to talk to you.” He squats down and chuckles bring the phone on speak and brings it close to her ear as serenity screamed at the phone hoping you could hear here, “Daddy! Daddy where are you? Where is mommy?” She started to sniffle and sob showing the sound of terrified as the man brought the phone back to him, “you heard your daughter, you wanna save her right? Then bring the 2 billion wons here under 24 hours or you won’t ever see your daughter again” without waiting for your answer the man hung up leaving serenity back in the room

@lee тαeмιɴ *As I stood out of your wardroom after I made the promise to you, I saw the doctor was still there. Remembering the question about contacting your parents regarding your situation, I gave the doctor affirmative answer.* They'll have to know. I'll let them know. Minnie and serene are both their precious family members, I can't keep them from knowing the truth. *and made a call toward the lee's household. The call was answered by your mother, who sounded hysterically for a moment before your father took over the phone and asked for the hospital details from me. As soon as the call ended, I looked up the hospital ceiling and sighed, I should had met your parents under better circumstances, not like these. Not when I got their son's head injury and their granddaughter is missing in action. Your mother looked distraught when she saw you laying on the hospital bed and your father tried to stop her from throwing her tantrum at me which I know I was more than deserve that, after knocking their son's pregnant, unable to bear responsible toward your whole pregnancy and finally showed up in front of them with you getting hit from a kidnapping event over their only granddaughter. Geez my records' swelled, say goodbye to the best son-in-laws award of the year... When I was about to leave them with you, in order to find traces of serene's kidnapping accident, your father said something that really surprised me, I felt the gentleness of your father and knew exactly where you get your gentleness more, fueling my will to find serene's even more.

"Boss, there's only 3 places that could be those scum's nest." Finally, my men managed to narrow down the locations and we were able to grasp the situation instead of just searching around blindly. By then, it was almost 7 hours since serene was abducted. As soon as we were about to make a move, an unknown call was made on my phone, asking for a good 2 billions won ransom for serene's safety. I acted calm during the call, compelling to their demand while doing my best not to give away our valuable information on their location. Just as they finished giving their demand, I asked to talk to serene "Let me talk to her, you have to assure me that she's save if you trying to get the ransom from me, don't you think?" My voice spoke with authority and acquired them to compel to the demand in order to have theirs fulfilled.

@pαrĸ вoɢυм *sleeping unconscious with the sound of the heart beat from the monitor remaining normal as you entered the room with the doctor, the doctor stared up ahead at you when you held my hand that felt lifeless. “I will make sure to watch over Taemin and notify you if anything happens. My apologies for calling you his friend. Do you plan on calling his parents due to this situation as well?” Questions unsure wondering that for sure the patient will probably need to know about this sooner or later especially to know the results all together. instead of waiting for your reply when seeing you talking with the patient who remained asleep, the doctor stepped out the door to wait out at the hallway*

Serenity shivering and shakingly thinking on how her mom told her that to be strong. Her eyes traveled over at the small light and sudden footsteps from the other side of the door as well as a ship noise with the waves hitting against the shore, Serenity quickly gets up and walks around at every corner once her eyes fully adjusted feeling the tears still pouring down as she brokingly called out for us “mama dada..?”

@lee тαeмιɴ *The waiting during the operation was torturing and when I listened to the doctor's explanation, I could feel my resolve slowly draining by the minute. If only I had been there where I should, if only I had sent over the hired bodyguards to you.* Can I see him? *I asked him as he finally lead me toward your room. My eyes widen over the view of you, laying unconsciously on the hospital bed with bandage wrapped around your head. But the sound of your breathing underneath the mask reassured me, at least you're still alive, I reached out and took a hold of your lifeless hand, gripping it firmly with both of mine as I felt the doctor's eyes on me.* Please, take good care of him doctor. You have to do whatever you can to help him. He's... he's my spouse, doctor. I don't want any harm to come to him. *finally corrected the doctor assumption for what I am to you. There's great limitation on what a friend can do to the patient especially since they're not the guardian, and while the title spouse or family hold greater power in this situation. I caressed your cheek and eyed you softly while bringing your hand to my lips after the doctor leave us for his duties.* Minnie, please be alright. *placing a second kiss on your hand, this time swearing...* I promise Lee Taemin, I will get our daughter back no matter what it takes.

The men I entrusted found the cctv of the car used by the kidnappers. They managed to trace them but somehow they vanished after passing several highway under construction with the cctv, yes, removed due to the construction. As soon as the report came to me, I eyed my men that had reported those half-assed work and smacked their heads one by one. "What are you guys? Amateurs?! Cops?!! You were supposed to bring me solid result, not some half-written piece of like those good for nothing do?! Now go back and find them. Don't stop until you find them. I would not let any one of you sleep until you manage to pinpoint their location, understand."

@pαrĸ вoɢυм *not waking up at that moment when you arrived at the park still completely blacked out as we head to the hospital to be carried by you and brought into the emergency room for treatment to be done after the impact of the baseball bat hitting against the head and having xrays to be done to see if there is any bone injury since it was a hard hit, with some stitches being done and having my head bandage up properly get pushed on the hospital bed to my own room to rest after an hour of being in the emergency room. The doctor who finish the emergency procedure makes his way over to you fixing his glasses, “you must be Taemin’s friend?” He looked over a bit unsure of the relation but knows of you being the one to bring the patient in a hurry, “Taemin did well during the operation.. it appears that he got hit pretty hard on the head due to the stitches we had to make. And since it was on the head, he will be dealing with concussion; However with the hard hit, he may be in coma. it might have hit one of the nerve so until I get the results of the x-ray we don’t know if he has any brain damage after this incident.” The doctor states slowly leading the way to my hospital room.

Serenity slowly waking up finding herself in a dark room and resting on a dirty mattress, her body started to shake as fear rushes inside her as she look around trying to process the darkness only to see a bit of light under the small space of the door, her eyes started to grow water. Being a little girl without her mom and dad terrified her as she curled wanting this nightmare to end, “mommy...d-daddy..” she sniffled scared.

@lee тαeмιɴ *I was just came out from the family's law firm, had a discussion between our lawyers regarding the filing for divorce when I received the call from you. Truth to be told, I had been feeling uneasy throughout the morning and when you told me about going to the playground, that thought had been a bit unsettle for me but somehow, I didn't warned you not too, or even send for a body guard over to you. Bad move, on my part, since something did happen, to you and serene. When I finally got there, spotting that lone, familiar figure, laying on the ground, I knew for instance that it was you.*
Minnie! Lee Taemin! *I grabbed onto your body and shook you a bit, trying to get you to gain conscience.* Talk to me baby, don't scare me like this. *I felt your pulse and thanks god, it was still there. My eyes roamed around the park and I noticed the emptiness of it for the lack of one baby girl, running around the place* Serene! Baby girl! *I called for her over my lungs* Lee Serene! Where are you?! *Positive she isn't anywhere there in the park anymore, I knew I was going to panic but my priority comes to the one person in my arm first. Saving you from any life threatening situation comes first. I lifted you up and carrying you bridal style, hurriedly I brought you to the hospital. While the doctors were having you treated in the operation roam... I called for my trusted men and have them looked for serene and her wherebout*

[3rdPOV] Meanwhile, man A was eyeing serene's tied up at the backseat while man B was driving away from the playground, heading toward an abandon storehouse by the harbor. Once they've arrived, man A carried serene with one arm while the other was lighting a cigar, taking in a deep smoke as he checked his friend threw serene onto a dirtied mattress while they locked the door. Man A asked "So how long we're gonna have to babysit this kid?" Man B, "Who knows, at least until they paid us, that's when. If they offered us too little, we're gonna have to find someone else to pay more and if that weren't the case... we'll just kill her and take her organs, I'm sure she's gonna worth more like that." The two of them grinned, well aware of how the drill is going to work as they were notoriously known for this crime but never paid the price so far along the road.

@pαrĸ вoɢυм [OH NO! Serenity!!! Yes yes no worries I don’t mind at all~ :) ]

*continues pushing her on the swings as I chuckled while serenity giggled excitedly to be swinging higher than before thinking as if she was flying. Before we got the chance to go to the slide suddenly quickly turning to meet sight of the man from behind completely off guard hearing serenity letting out a scream of panicky and calling for my name* hey! What are you doing to my bab-! *turning over to the other man who had serenity in his arm with her passed out the moment seeing covered with a cloth, my eyes grew wide ready to take charge only to collapse unexpected from the baseball bat feeling my world spinning at the hit on the head, groaning in so much pain with my head aching and throbbing, dizzy barely hearing a few words slipping off of the man’s voice only hearing about “paying the price”, slips my hand to reach my phone to speed dial your number weakly with my hand shaking, not caring if my nape is bleeding from that hit with the baseball All I wanted is to call for help, brings the phone to my ear feeling my eyes slowly blacking out* b-Bogum o—ur baby... he-lp.. *before I can say anything further passes out*

@lee тαeмιɴ 3rd POV (intruding this little moment, if you don't mind >3<)

Unknown to them, there were two strangers watching over them as the beautiful man continued pushing his child on the swing. Man A was sitting by the driver seat and kept his eyes on you two, while man B was checking on the picture to confirm that it was you and Lee Serenity. "Bingo. It's them." Man B said to man A. Man A smirked evilly and pressed the lighted ciger bud to the ash tray inside the car. "Then, what are we waiting for?" The two of them grin, got out the car and walked toward you two.
"Well, look at what we have here... aren't you two cute.. " Man B said, and right from behind of you, Man A grabbed serene's body right off the swing. "We'll be taking the kid here if you don't mind..." Man A's muscular arms grabbed serene's little body, he had a cloth pressed against serene's face and not long after, serene was out cold, unconscious to the word but she definitely was panicking when she was being carried by the man before. While you was distracted with serene's being caught, man B hit your head with a baseball bat, sending you on the ground. "If you felt sorry for your kid, think what you have done wrong. Now... you just simply paying the price for that." Their last words before they leave the scene.

*brings serenity to the playground near the han river* sweetie don’t run off from mommy * watches her running up ahead to the playground going automatically straight to the swings, “Mommy help push me!” Chuckles at her excitement and makes my way over to push her on the swing as it motions back and forth hearing her giggle* don’t let go of the chains okay baby girl weee~ *laughs softly*

@pαrĸ вoɢυм *press my lips together and slowly lets go of your wrist and nods* I will do this just for you to be free and love whoever you want instead of being caged up and force to get married... I don’t want you to be miserable your whole life... nobody does * lowers my head when I felt your palm against my flat belly scooting back a bit* you promise you will let me go afterwards and we would still remain as friends? I mean we will just act like a couple in public and in front of your parents so they could cancel everything but if we are alone we are just friends... no going further than that * watches you only to have my shirt taken off feeling the heater against my back, press my lips together and nods* I suppose so... if I did get pregnant...*mutters and slips on my seatbelt keeping on the jacket you lend me looking out the window when you started to drive*

@lee тαeмιɴ *gently caressing your rosy cheek, when I felt your hand holding onto my wrist, the gesture was gentle, and very you like, so trusting, so innocent over the cruelity of all this world hold* Of course I would never let them harm you, you'll be saved minnie. *leans closer and linked our forehead together, shutting my eyes thinking of the proper answer to your question about what would happen then, because all I've been thinking before was what I should do if you turned down flat my offer, but now instead of turning it down, you're actually giving this an even more consideration into the future* Frankly, I have never given it any thoughts if I actually manage to break away from the Parks, they've been shackled me for so long, so I've never think that I would get what I wish for... but now that you asked.... *opened my eyes and smiled fondly at you* maybe then I'll be able to find my own path, be who I wanted to be. Living a life for my own instead of anyone else. *leans at you and pecks your forehead* Don't worry minnie, I'll let you go, you're free to do whatever you wished for after that, be with someone you love, and built a family of your own. That is if you're not actually pregnant. But if you do... *chuckled gingerly and caress your flat tummy* maybe that'll be a whole different story, yes?
*noticed your still wet shirt and helped you removed it* You shouldn't wear this right now, we'll get this dry cleaned at my place. It's not far from hear. Don't worry my apartment is off limits to anyone in the family. They don't know bout it so we'll be fine there. *placed you back on your seat and start driving away from the parking lots, heading toward my residential area, seemingly I had no plan of letting you go home hehe ;) *

@ɴιcнolαѕ нoυlт The pink haired feels the air runs through his hair and he shakes his head a little in a manner thats almost cat like, wanting to fix the untameable mane. "Hm? Course not, just need to find the cabby here," he murmured, following the taller close by with his every step

@jυɴɢ тαeĸwooɴ Nicholas sets the items in his hands down on the cloth along with the other foods, careful not to let the coffee cups tumble as he didn't want to spill any. He takes the black coffee like he said, though, and takes a sip - softly sighing afterwards, grateful to have something warming up his system.

He pats the other unoccupied side for Taekwoon to sit on. "I hope you didn't get in any trouble on your way here," he said, giving the singer a worried look.

@pαrĸ вoɢυм * brings my hand over to the warm breeze once you the heater as it help prevent myself from shivering but it won't change the fact how soaked I am, lift my gaze over bringing my hand over to run my index and thumb finger against a couple of my strand and push my hair back and stares up ahead as we remained at the parking lot listening to you when you talked about your fiancé only to be lift up from my seat and brought over to your lap as I stare at you my eyes glistened just completely lost with words at the situation I was being put on, I press my hand over to place against your chest* no... your clothes are going to get wet.. * rest my head on your chest making sure to not wet your formal clothes only to be pulled into your embrace closing my eyes* I... so you already knew that I will be at the han river all along. * mumbles gripping onto your shirt*....it wasn't coincidence... * stares down at your shirt taking in your words feeling a lump forming at my throat and stares at you* So thats why you were asking me if I was pregnant back at the Han river * looks into your orbs and tugs onto your shirt when having my face cupped not breaking contact, I slowly let go of your shirt and lift my hand over to rest onto your wrist slightly leaning against your touch*...If I accept this and you got what you want...by getting yourself disown... will that mean the pretending will be over. what would happen afterwards.. * mutters as I observe you knowing if I accept this I might end up leading myself into danger since after just what happened was barely the beginning* .....you won't let them hurt me right.

@lee тαeмιɴ *I the car heater and let the heat warmed you up, stealing a glance on you every once in awhile from the driver seat to yours, hoping that you wouldn't cry or being bothered too much by the fact that my fiance just gave her usual temper over anyone that get closed to me. I faked laughed over your remarked on the soak zone ride and at the mention of my fiance coming from your lips, I felt my mouth shuts in a reflex.*
Yea... that is she, though madam still considering a few other candidates, she had been the most persistence one so far. *I placed an arm behind your back, caressing it gently, wanting to hug your small body really bad, giving you the comfort I badly want to give. It's really isn't fair. You shouldn't have to go through all this over my own silly whim of escaping my family* You can process this as long as you want... but not to make this even harder on you taemin.... come here *pulled you over to my lap and gave you a big bear hug, caressing your back while resting my chin over your crown*
I'm really sorry you have to get wet because of her. I'll tell you everything taemin, since this is probably gonna be our last meeting. My family is messed up minnie, and I was planning on using you to escape from them. Today's meeting was a premier of what it'll be like if you decided to help me with this. If you do agree, I promised today wouldn't be the last time you get to be in a fancy restaurant like that one with me. I'll feed you well, protect you with everything I can, you see... I can be quite capable in a few areas in life. So I can guarantee your safety, you'll live through this. So my offer to you is... be the mother to my child. If you're already carrying one that'll be great but if you don't, I just want you to pretend like you are. That impact would be enough to disown me from the Park's. I know this is probably too much to be asking on someone you've just met, so I won't force you for anything. *continued hugging you and patting you on your back like you were a small child on my lap*
If you disagree, you have nothing to worry but to ask me of it. We can be friend like you want us too, but I'll try to keep my distance off from you, so that people wouldn't misunderstand, scandal's won't leaked.
*pulled away from the hug and cupped both of your cheeks, staring right back into your mesmerizing brown eyes* whaddaya say minnie?

@pαrĸ вoɢυм heyy dont say that out loud * hushes you quietly, glancing around checking if anyone is listening to our conversation, sighing in relief* Yah Dont say anything relating to that night.. Whatever happened in that suite stays there * keeps contact with you as I nod my head the moment you talked about how I look* I must have had a performance before meeting you that time.. thats why I had make up. I don't usually wear make up. only in sta-*gets cut off when hearing a scream of your name as I pull back, this was a first and I wont lie just with watching the situation right now I was scared and thinking those bad things will start occurring, I tilts my head up to see the lady infront of my eyes as I knew straight ahead I am dead at this point the moment I heard the lady infront of me calling herself fiance feeling a heavy pain hammering against my chest having it tighten feeling myself suffocating unable to say a word completely caught off guard at the words that is being spatted out from your so called "fiance"* ah sorry to interrupt but bogum is right im just a fri- *shuts my eyes feeling cold water poured on my face completely soaking up as my breathing hitches feeling my hand tightening to a fist when being treated lowly and brought straight to conclusion as a low life feeling anger slowly building up ready to fight but remain to bite down my own pride, brings my hand over to wipe way the water from my face completely drenched and stands up from my seat, I felt humiliated, the place grew so quiet my face looked pale at the situation until I felt a jacket place on my shoulder, my throat dry unable to say a word I just followed in silent when being lead out the restaurant feeling all eyes left on us, lowers my head letting my bangs cover my eyes feeling them becoming glassy as tears slowly build their way slowly quickening my pace to go to your car quickly entering not wanting to look back at the building, once the door closes, I let out a shaky breath patting my drench chest looking up to batter away the tears from falling, swallows my saliva when you entered soon after turning my head to look out the window unable to face you, I could listen to how you tried to lighten the mood* To the point where I end up getting drenched in water. I didn't expect a soak zone ride happening in a fancy restaurant... So that was your fiance.. * slowly turns to face you* So much having the chance to eat there. * let out a small chuckle with slight bitter in the laughter as I rest my plam against my lap gently fiddling my finger* Im still processing what just happened... was this the warning you were telling me if they find me with you eating in a restaurant.

@lee тαeмιɴ *chuckled over your remark of me being a curious boy while keep on intertwining our fingers together*
Well I am curious about this new friend in front of me. A dancer... no wonder you're so flexible with your body. *remembering how good you were the night we were together, clearing off my throat and stared back at your features, being reminded back of your heavy make up the other night*
So today was just a normal day for you minnie? you didn't wear any make up I see, well it's not like you don't look good or anything... *a woman dressed in short glittering dress approached our table, glaring right at me* Yah Park Bogum! *she screamed my name and I quickly stood up, letting go of your hand* Excuse me for a second okay minnie, try not to pay too much attention on this crazy lady. *told only you but she clearly heard that* What?! Crazy lady?! Yah, is this how you are suppose to address your fiancé? *she took her stand right in front of you, her hairs were long, styled on her left shoulder, her dress emphasized her cleavage, and her white outer coat coverer her bare shoulder underneath, her legs go on and on until her feet, wrapped in fabulous designed heels* "Why are you eating with him? who are you?" *she coldly addressed you*
*I knew exactly where this is going to be, reaching out to caress her elbow, buttering her as I tried to stop her* Yoojung-shi, stop. You're embarrasing yourself, he's just a friend.
"I'm embarrasing myself? Me? what about you? sitting here in such a fine restaurant with a nobody?" *she runs her colored nailed on my arm, resting right on my chest, caressing me there while I turned my gaze on you, apologizing through my gaze* "You bailed on our families meeting, only to meet up with this low life? Now you tell me, which one of us had embarrased himself? You certainly have lowered yourself and as your fiancé, it is my duty to correct this." *her hand moved quick and grapped that glass of water in front of you and... *I tried to reach for her hand but she was faster* Wait?! *she dumped the whole water on your face* "There... serve you right for flirting with someone else's property." * I pulled her away from you, distancing her from you while protecting you with my back, blocking everyone's view from seeing your wet face*
Enough Yoojung-shi, we'll be taking our leave. Come on Taemin *turn toward you and picked up the napkin to wipe off your dripping face, I saw the water poddle on your chest and decided to take off my jacket and covered your wet shirt.* Let's go
*guiding you out of the restaurent while my fiancé was staring dagger on our back. As I lead you toward where the valet parked my car, I couldn't help but feel a hallow feeling, this is it, I'm gonna loose him as well. Lee Taemin... it was nice knowing you, after tonight... there's no way you would still want to be my friend. Feeling a tear drop off from my left eye but quickly covered it with grumble of how cold tonight was. Opened the passenger door for you and let you sit there before finally entered the driver seat, staring out to the front* Quite a show in there wasn't it *I tried to lighten up the mood.* We were distrubed when I was trying to tell you this, you'll look wonderful if you ever tried to dress up, wearing a tux would suit you minnie, I can guarantee that. It's a shame that I probably won't get to see that

@ɴιcнolαѕ нoυlт Taekwoon simply rolled his eyes and sips on his drink happily. Hes not planning to drink any alcohol as he has tons of works to do but he doesnt mind the chicken, but who knows if Nicholas knows which chicken s good and which isnt good. He let the other lead the way, following closely behind

@jυɴɢ тαeĸwooɴ Nicholas looks startled for a moment when the cups carrier was shoved in his hand, eventually breaking into a short laugh as he simply took it and the plastic bag as well. "You didn't have to buy me anything, I told you I have chicken and beer set up there already," he said, tipping his head towards the area where a cloth had been laid out on the grass, with a few bottles and a box atop it.

The actor turned his attention back to Taekwoon, flashing him a genuine smile. "But I appreciate your thoughts so I'll take the black coffee later, thank you very much. Now let's go~" he continued, eagerly shifting on his feet and tugged on the singer's hand, leading their way.

@pαrĸ вoɢυм Hey its a promise okay so thats why imma threaten you Mr. Park Bogum * sticks out my tongue over at you and gives you a wink* im sure you wouldn't break a promise anyways since you've been looking for me all these time and now you probably wont let me go * hums*
*glances over at you detecting your smile that seemed off, as if you look upset, this time I slowly brought my hand over and place my palm ontop of yours letting my thumb brush against your knuckles as a response as well as nodding at your words* Im glad I am someone you can talk comfortably bogum. *press my shoulder against yours when feeling your arm resting around me as I can't help but laugh aswell* yes friends indeed! * listens to you explaining that you are happy as my lips pressed together giving a smile even though that happy wasnt something I was talking about but ends up shrugging it off probably might end up asking one more time when you feel comfortable in telling me, I just returned by chuckling at you when you gave a wink and lightly pushes your side*
* press my elbow against the table until I felt my hand being taken shifting my gaze when you played with my fingers and just smiles to myself* I guess your probably right. Maybe next time I will dress up into something better and fitting for a fancy place * gives a sheepish smile, intertwines our fingers watching how big your hands are compared with mine* Well I guess I should be fair for you to know about my life story. *shakes my head* nah Im not a student or a part timer. I come from an ordinary middle class family. Right now I live on my own and occasionally go to my parents house sometimes every weekend because I miss eating my mom's cook. I am a choreographer, a dancer. Usually im found at the Han river you met me today, I always go there to clear some thoughts or even just eat out when grabbing some snacks at the convenient store. * chuckles when you asked me so many questions* aren't you a curious boy wanting to know my life. Basically my life is just pretty normal.

@lee тαeмιɴ *leaning close to your face* You're actually capable of threatening me, taeminnie? *chuckled amusingly* how cute~~ *Over your reassurance, I let go of your hand, decided not to push the subject even more. A small sad smile in which I tried hard to hide it from you when you apologized about my family trees* That's fine taemin, it's not like its your fault or anything, I'm just glad for once I was able to talk you about this, most of the time I hide this from people outside our household. I guess that's probably because I'm that comfortable around you *sling an arm around your shoulder, and laughing genuinely over your acknowledgement on our drama scenario* Aww~~ don't worry, whatever I had going on at the moment when you would call me to your rescue, is worth leaving behind for. You said so yourself, we're friend, aren't we? and friends have each other back.
*the question of whether I'm happy render me speechless, frankly because, no one had ever asked me that, not even my biological mother, that's why she was able to give me up that easily. I stared into your face for awhile, being reminded again why I was looking for you the whole time after parting from you the other night. Tightening my hold around your shoulder and pressed your body close to mine* Well you're here now, aren't you? Of course I'm happy, I am happy to see you again. *wink playfully back at you, suppressing down my emotional turmoil deep down inside*
*after settled down at the table and placing an order for the entire thing I've suggested earlier, and over your own approval on going all out, I couldn't help to reach out to your hand and played with your fingers, feeling how skinny they were. Of course, I've realized that fact sooner when I saw your whole body the night before, making me kinda curious how you've been living your life*
It's not a once in a lifetime opportunity Minnie, I'm sure I'm gonna treat you again in this sort of place. We've made promise, remember? I still need to fulfill your craving on cheese. *wink* And beside, I love spending my times with you. *overlaced our hands together* So, tell me a bit about yourself minnie? I mean, you've already know about my family and all, yet I still only know your name and the physical aspect of your body, yet I knew nothing about? so what do you do? are you a student? part-timer?? are your family still around??

@pαrĸ вoɢυм if you break that promise then I will beat you up and break off our friendship * decides to threaten you a bit even though in reality I could never do such a thing when you already impacted my life and deep down I just dont want to lose you; clears my throat and shakes my head when feeling your hand against mine as I glance at you* im okay. * sends you a reassuring smile before slowly nodding when learning why you call someone as madam* ah... my apologize for not realizing that. * scratches the back of my head*
Seems like Im watching too many dramas during my free time. *laughs sheepishly and nods sending you a smile* I might as well add you on my speed dial just in case I need you yet at the same time I dont want to disturb you if you have some errands to make or if your in conference *listens to how your family seems to be overprotective to not bring down the company or dignity as I press my lips hearing how your mom giving you up* Are you happy..? * tilts my head wondering if you like this lifestyle*
hey.. I just dont want to be centered attention in a place like this *keeps holding onto your hand only to give it a squeeze giving you a warning look* watch what your saying mister. Not so loud for the public to hear * whispers pulling my hand away bringing my index finger to press against my lips before picking up the menu and use it to hide part of my face as I turn the page when looking at the menu yet at the same time listening to the food that happened to make my mouth watery, press my lip to swallow my saliva and tilts my head over at you pressing my chin against the top of the menu* can I try out all that? might as well go all on out here. its like a once in a life time to eat out here.. well for me * chuckles and goes back on staring at the menu*

@lee тαeмιɴ *laughed at your joke* cute minnie, very cute, of course, it's a promise then.
*noticed your slight discomfort over your own skin, wondering if I did something that was offended to you* hey, you're okay there? *reached out and held your hand in comforting but didn't say anything because I didn't want you to feel discomfort or being forced to be someone else around me* Oh and madam is not my mother taemin, she is my father's wife, and I'm his bastard son with his mistress. Madam and father didn't have any children on their own, that's why they brought me here, to be the best son figure in the public eyes.
*continued giggling on your reaction, because you actually sincerely worried about the whole getting beaten up thing* Oh, don't worry baby, if that ever happen to you, put my number on your speed dial, and I'll come running to you in a heartbeat. And well technically although what you're doing is harmless, you becoming close to me made them seen you as a threat to them. That's why they did what they did. Still.. I can't complain, I've been a good boy to them ever since mom given up on me when I was 10. If I really wanna rebel against them, I needed some solid reason to do that, let say... for example, creating a big mistake, knocking someone up and ended up marrying that person to take responsibility? *laughed over the whole situation* if that happen, I'm sure want to see how their faces turned into, but luckily my taste is only on guys. Maybe that's why they stopped fussing over me so much.
*amused over your action, I could sworn you could pass for a middle school-er, especially with your baby face but the fact you're like that, is what made it was so easy to relax when I'm with you, your question sent a bit puzzle look on me before I finally understand* You worried about silly things too much minnie, *holding your hand warmly* You looked fine sweetie, just be more confident about yourself, I know for certain you have a body to die for, so flaunt that asset of yours proudly. *winked and flipped through the menu although I've already know what I'm gonna have, eyed you for a moment, the lighting was great to study your facial features and our close distance allowed me to sneak glances at your eyelashes, and lips without getting caught obviously*
Lasagna's here is great, but the pasta is good as well if you're into that, oh, and the mushroom soup with garlic bread are great for the appetizer, sounds just about right to you?

@pαrĸ вoɢυм mmhmm Gotta love some cheese. This is why im minnie.. minnie mouse * sticks out my tongue only to have my eyes sparkle when you mentioned about another place that has a lot cheese* Yes! I love the sound of that. you better keep your promise for next time then when we do spend time after today
* looks over at the small reflection at the side mirror bringing my free hand over to fix my hair even if it remained down covering most of my forehead as I stare down at my casual clothes while listening to your story* Madam? your mother seems to not give up then..
*turns my head to you when being caught off guard holding back a smile as my cheek slightly warmed up at the mentioned, press my lips together having an embarrassed look when you suddenly laugh, I let out a sigh in relief and pats my chest* thank goodness.. I dont want to be left in an alley way to get beat up * scrunches my nose* Why must I be payed to not be close to you... Im not doing anything harmful * press my lips together before sitting up once you parked* Well you have your reason to rebel against your family, I would do the same if I can't even be with anyone I care about.
* tilts my head over when having my hair ruffled as I send you a warm smile and exits the car* Then Im a tough guy after all * lift up my arm to show my so called biceps before looking over at the restaurant that seemed to be a 5 star restaurant* are you sure they will allow me... I dont feel as dressed up * slowly makes my way over and follows you inside looking around amazed at the surrounding* wow... this is truly a 5 star place... * stands behind a bit following you like a puppy as we make our way to the table*

@lee тαeмιɴ Full of cheese minnie? I know another place that served melted cheese on variety of things in generous amount, maybe I'll take you there next time *chuckled and taking note of your preferences while continue driving*
*the question about my ual preference send an even greater smile sprawled across my face, boy you sure is one curious boy, chuckled amusedly* They found out about it when I was in high school, back then they were practically spitting fire everytime either one of them saw me, so I was living my life like an invisible being until I graduated college and start training under father's company. Father probably already given up but madam seemed to be in denial, setting up all these troublesome dates. That and also the profits that came with these sort of arrangement. And to answer you question minnie, I don't hate girls, I just don't seem as a ually aroused partner for me. Not like when I see you then *winked at you before focused my attention back on the road*
*turning to a smaller roadside from the main road, when your surprised questions sent me into a huge laughing mess* No Lee Taemin, you're funny and cute but no, not that sort of beat up, it'll be more like accepting some money to stay away from me, you know like how those in-laws did in the drama. Apparently I'm a pawn that is useful to expand their business, so I can't have a heart, or give it to anyone for that matter. *parked the car, seemingly we had already arrived at the restaurent*
*ruffled your hairs, and smiled gently to you* You a lot tougher than you seemed like you would be, I'm sure those friends knew that too. Here we are
*leading you to the restaurant entrance and greeted the waiter familiarly, even he knows my name and addressed me as Mr Park without even a properly introduction, the waiter eyed you for a moment and there was some hidden smile when he looked at you and said nothing of it. He leads us to an empty table for two and left us with the menu*
Do you like the exterior here? the food here tasted even better *winked at you* *a classic italian style with vintage lighting and tablewear sets, Italian music played in the air, it almost seemed romantic... had we not being friend and dated instead, could have turned out into a perfect first dinner date*

@ɴιcнolαѕ нoυlт The singer couldnt figjt off the smile that overtaking his feature over the upcoming figure of Nicholas. It would be a lie if he were to say that hes not at the very least slightly excited about meeting the british but hey he prolly wouldnt notice in such a dim light right?

"Hey," he greeted rather awkwardly and unceremoniously shoved the cups carrier to the taller. He proceed to take one of the cups that he had marked as his and sipped on the beverage rather hungrily. The cold wind is biting against his rather sensitive skin so he would love to have tje hot liquid heating up his system ASAP

"Got some foods," he hold up the plastic bag in front of the other's face. "And one of the cups is yours, one is a normal black coffee slightly... sweetened, the other is a latte can take which ever you like"

@jυɴɢ тαeĸwooɴ Nicholas simply waited on the very same spot he's been in for the last hour, glancing around every now and then at the people strolling by or are enjoying the river view just like him. It's getting a little chilly but he doesn't mind; he doesn't feel that cold yet anyway.

He isn't sure how much time had passed, but eventually he stood up, worry overlooking his features since Taekwoon hadn't shown up yet. The singer might've known the place but he didn't tell him where he exactly is, which is a mistake on his part. If Taekwoon gets lost or gets mobbed by fans who might recognize him, it'll surely be the actor's fault.

So he starts walking towards the surrounding area, eyes searching for the male he was waiting for until it lands on someone looking very familiar. A smile tugs the corners of his mouth as he walked even faster now, with his long limbs easily closing the distance between them.

"Taekwoon!" He called out, waving his hand enthusiastically at the singer.

@pαrĸ вoɢυм Yeah There is nothing to be sad about anymore now that I got to meet you once more. *purse my lips scoffing a bit at your words after that peck and looks to the side watching you from the reflection watching how we drove off leaving the han river* well I guess.. *quirks a brows at the thought of the Italian food having a smile appearing across my face* I like pasta. As long there is a mount full of cheese.
*lets out a chuckle and glance over at you watching how you run your finger against your lips before turning my head; how you mention about your parents grabbed my attention frowning a bit to hear you being arranged on a blind date* Do they know your interest is with boys? Unless you like girls aswell? * looks over at you the moment you took my hand feeling how you laced them as I just let it slide, brushing my thumb against the back of your hand*
I’m sorry for leaving like that.. *eyes widen and look at you surprised* wait what? Exactly how “trouble”? They are not going to beat the crap out of me for spending time with you *jaws drop and swallows my saliva the moment I felt it getting dry* well... as long you help me out when I’m in trouble then yes * shakes my head chuckling* “oppa?” Mm nah I don’t have any of those so your safe. Maybe I have a couple of friends that may be protective but that is all *watches how you happily talked about the restaurant* hmm I actually might want to have a taste of the lasagna if it’s the best

@ɴιcнolαѕ нoυlт He probably arrive longer than he wanted to but its not his fault if the barista is bloody slow. And while he isnt very hungry he managed to stopby a convenient store to buy himself some curry and rice, and sandwich for Nicholas cause really he doesnt know what the taller would like. So now, as he arrives and looks around like the lost child he is, he also has to hold onto cup holder containing 3 cups of coffee (he figures one latte for him isnt enough) and one plastic bag filled with food. As much as a giant Nicholas is it doesnt seem to be very easy to find him
