"I'm so so sorry."

"This good for nothing bank!" The woman smashed her palms unto the counter and scowled. Weeks after the unfortunate incident wherein the bank's files were hacked, thousands or maybe millions of accounts just reduced to nothing. Various of unsatisfied customers raided the bank one by one spitting out their complaints. Since Taeyong took a leave for a day for the check up, Yeri was put in charge of the place for the meantime, and the poor girl was drowning herself in papers of complaints and missing accounts. They are yet to know who did this and will take legal actions against this repulsive hacker.

"Ma'am, I will be looking into this. We will retrieve the accounts back."
A little more push and Yeri is going to snap. If only she can go back home with her grandma.

"Damn right you should! By then, I should have it. Otherwise I will sue this bank! Where the hell is the manager? Or boss? Whatever!" The woman leaned closer as she spoke, narrowing her eyes.

"He took a leave. He's goimg to have his children checked."
Although Yeri isn't fully aware of Taeyong's situation, the male didn't say anything but just merely going to the pediatrician, so she just assumed it's the kids he's taking. Yeri didn't mind. "I will inform him right away, no worr-"

"Stop talking and do your work! I have bills to pay so better deal with NOW. Speak to him NOW. I will be back by next monday and if my bank account isn't recovered, say bye bye to Seoul Coin Banking."

With those last, venom dripping words. The lady stormed to the door. Yeri massaged her temples. Sweet heavens! Out of all the raging customers, this lady was the absolute worst. The time supposedly for her break and medicine was all wasted ON her. Some pointless, immature arguing.

At this point, the government is yet to take actions. Taeyong was very much aware of this and probably dealing will calls at the moment.

"Yeri-ah. Found anything?" Sooyoung, nicknamed Joy, approached the youngest of the bank with a hopeful look. But as much Yeri wanted to maintain the her precious unnie's smile, she had to disclose the update possibly destroying that smile.

"Sorry Unnie."

Just as she though, Sooyoung frowned and heaved a sigh. "Alright then, I'll contact Mr. Soo-man about this." And with that, there she goes to the back door.

"Yeri! I got a call from Ms. Chun. It's for you." One of the male employees pelt to Yeri with the phone high in the air.

Yeri rubbed her face for a moment and took a deep breath.

"I'm on it."

"Yes! Home! At last!" Huffing each time, Donghyuck was the first to get inside along with Taeil and Doyoung. Jungwoo and Yuta following after. That leaves both Renjun and Taeyong in the living room. It was silence between them, neither of them uttering one word. That is, when Taeyong cleared his throat.

This is the right time.

" Renjun."

The called boy faltered on his way and half-turned.

"Let's. . . Talk."

Taeyong gently took the boy's hand to lead him towards the couch, supposedly. Renjun didn't dare move a muscle and remained on the same spot, head hung to the ground. He seemed already guilty enough to face Taeyong, after what happened the night before left a huge impact on him. This heavy, sullen feeling eating him up like crazy. Renjun just wasted a day overthinking and shutting himself. What will Taeyong say? Or do rather? Will it be bad or good? The abundance of thoughts orbitted the young boy's head as he tightly clutched his shirt.
