"You do know what this means, right", Jae-seong's manager asked. "Tighter security, and separation from him", Jae-seong answered bowing her head. "And you now have to stay in the company's dorm", her manager added. "Can she perhaps stay with me instead? I can provide her with maximum security", Taeyong butted in. "Only if the company allows and of course, only if she wants to", her manager responded. "Of course getting permission from the company is easy for you", Jae-seong said chuckling. "But do you want to", Taeyong asked. "Only if my brother and Mark gets to stay there too", Jae-seong answered smiling. "Don't you want Ten and Lucas to join along", Taeyong asked. "I want to, but as far as I know, they aren't allowed to stay elsewhere but their dorms", Jae-seong responded looking at her manager for reassurance.
"The two are set to debut in their new group and they already have schedules as a group which will make it hard for them when they stay elsewhere", her manager explained further. "Well alright, your brother and Mark it is then", Taeyong responded shrugging. "We still have something to talk about", Jae-seong said furrowing her eyebrows. "Oh would you look at the time, looks like I have to hurry and get company permission", Taeyong teasingly responded pointing at his watch. Taeyong then laughed as soon as he saw Jae-seong's furious reaction. "I'll just get permission, okay? We'll talk about this at home", Taeyong continued just before hurriedly leaving.
As soon as Taeyong received the go signal he immediately took Jae-seong to his house. As they were on their way, he then informed Jaehyun to which he will relay the information to Mark. It didn’t take long for Jaehyun and Mark to reach Taeyong’s house as Jaehyun was both excited and worried for Jae-seong that they actually reached the house first.
"I missed you so much! How are you? Are you okay? What happened? Tell me everything", Jaehyun rushed as soon as he saw Jae-seong entering their house. "Calm down, we have so much time to talk about everything", Jae-seong answered chuckling. "Taeyong still has some explaining to do", Jae-seong continued as soon as Taeyong was in sight. "I guess it's time huh", Jaehyun said looking towards Taeyong's direction. Taeyong just nodded making Jae-seong confused all of a sudden. "Time for what", Jae-seong asked looking at the two. "Well I'll leave you two alone, if you need me I'll be by the pool", Jaehyun said as he slowly walked backwards. "Time for what", Jae-seong asked again but received no answer.
Taeyong then directed her towards the living room where she hesitantly followed. "Tell me when you're ready", Taeyong said as soon as they sat down. "I am about 5 hours ago", Jae-seong responded rolling her eyes. "Well I'm not", Taeyong said making Jae-seong laugh. "I'm serious", Jae-seong replied pouting. "Well alright. Let me ask you this first, what do you think of Yuta", Taeyong asked leaning forward towards Jae-seong. "I don't know. He changes often from how he treats me and how he acts", Jae-seong answered without hesitation. "So do you see it as a bad thing or the other way around", Taeyong asked again. "I try to convince myself it's a good thing but no matter how hard I try, it still has a negative effect on me", Jae-seong responded.
"Why all the questions anyway", Jae-seong now asked as she realized she was the only one sharing. "I just don't want you to think I am making up whatever I am about to say to badmouth Yuta. I don't have much evidence to prove what I will say but it also happened to someone else", Taeyong explained causing another round of confusion to Jae-seong. "What do you mean? I trust you wouldn't lie to me Yongie", Jae-seong responded with a shy smile. Taeyong then nodded and leaned his back on the couch. "Do you remember the night at the bar? The night you broke up with me", Taeyong asked making Jae-seong pout. "Of course. Vividly", Jae-seong answered.
"And that night during your retreat... that night", Taeyong continued to ask emphasizing the word ‘that’. "I tried to forget but yeah I remember that too", Jae-seong responded shrugging. "It was all set up by Yuta", Taeyong said which made Jae-seong laugh. "And why in the world would he do that", Jae-seong asked still laughing. "We knew each other way before I met you. I knew you through him because he liked you first. I didn't know I would like you until I started stalking your socials and watched your lives, that was when I slowly fell for your personality and you know the rest that followed. And I guess he didn't liked the fact that you ended up with me which made him obsess over the thought of having you even if that means ruining others", Taeyong explained which made her speechless.
