[“Tomorrow night, make sure you’ll make a report about Governor Shim. Then after that, help us. Someone will abduct me. And I need that to happen so I can meet the reason behind all of these,” Joshua said, day before his abduction. “But how can I find you?” asked Woozi. Joshua pointed his silver earring as he answered, “You can locate me with this.”] Woozi looked at the device which navigate Joshua’s location. Based on the red light that kept on blinking, he knew he’s near the place. “I couldn’t believe they took you at the mountain,” Woozi murmured then clicked his tongue. He drove fast, stepping on the accelerator, for he feared he’ll be late on saving his protector. ‘And maybe, he’s really late.’ He pulled the car on the side after he hastily stepped on the brake.

I can still remember our first meeting, that wasn’t really our first. Since that, I lived with fear that I might die soon. So I did my best to stay alive. I fought hard, cried hard, love hard and fell in distress. Until I realized that in the beginning, it was my fate to be in this place. I found the missing pieces of my life, and the forgotten memories that must be keep inside the Pandora’s box. They are the one who finished the large puzzle.

The night outside the Hong mansion is silent.There was a sweet slightly pungent smell surrounding the wide area at the East side, combined with the swampy wet air, so thick it can press upon ones skin. Hundreds of fireflies all aglow lifted off the drew grasses and tint shoots of corn flying so slowly, it seemed they struggled against the weight of moisture hanging heavily in the night.Half moon gazed down benevolently, alone in the starless stretch of the black horizon. Outside the mansion is almost empty, and all that reach out into the shadowy darkness were the post lamp placed so methodically and evenly it made them seem more significant than they really were.Near one of these lamps, the oldest butler stood beneath. He has gray hair, his face has warped with deep wrinkles, and a pair of round rimmed spectacles perched on his nose.His snowy eyes stared into the nothingness, and they peered happily through the lenses.Today is a great day to celebrate the return of the master
The news about the return of the HongYoonChoi first leader spread throughout the members. It’s a juvenile celebration for everyone in the group. When they heard that there will be a meeting in the morning, many rushed towards the Hong Mansion and soon filled the huge meeting hall. “Finally!

I told the maid that I don’t need to wear this but she insisted, saying that this will be the first night Joshua and I will sleep together.“Geez, why are they making a fuss out of this?” I asked to myself while fanning my burning cheeks.The doctor clearly said that Joshua should restrain doing physical activities as much as possible.‘Right. He is still not in his full strength.’ I nodded my head as if convincing me to something I am not sure of.Once again, I checked my face on the mirror and caught myself smiling do wide.“You look so happy,” I said to this lady in front of me.I cannot describe this feeling which suddenly feel like a foreigner who returned back after a long time.
