"It's been a week, how long are you going to keep pushing it off for?" Sungchan asks, opening the door for me as i step into the house.

"Until i manage to find a way to do it properly." I sigh, "Hey, thanks for letting me talk to you about this."

"Anytime. Taeyongs either in his office or in the living room." He points to a closed door, then walks the opposite way, grabbing onto Shotaro.

I knock on the office door, "Come in." Taeyong shouts. So i walk in, he smiles as he sees me. "You said you weren't coming until after work."

"The bars closed today and i've already finished my shift at the chocolate store so i figured i'd come early." I look around his office, he's never usually in here.

It's not a Taeyong type of vibe, it's as if he was a school teacher type of office. "This isn't you." I sit on the chair opposite his desk, he smiles, leaning back and looking at me.

"Is it not?"

"No. This gives me very much school principal... You're the opposite." I rest my elbows on his desk, "What are you doing?"

"Research." He closes his laptop over, "Jisung wanted to show you something."

"Research on who, maybe i can help." I stay seated while he went to stand up.

"I never said it was a person." His eyes narrow as he sits back down again.

"If it was a place, you'd get one of the younger members to do it." I smile, i notice he gets the younger members to do the less important stuff, unless it's Jeno... Jeno is the exception.

"Observing me now?" He shakes his head, "Want me to call Jisung down?"

"Let me help for once, i get bored doing nothing." I get up, walking to his side of the desk, "I'll keep it a secret."

"Doesn't need to be a secret." He motions for me to sit on him, so i do, he holds me with one of his hands, opening the laptop with the other.

"Jihoon." I sigh.

"He's part of a mafia, did you know he had Italian relatives?" He asks, no... I didn't know that.

"He's like... full Korean though." I mean, i thought he was.

"No. His father is half Italian. He's been running around with the Italians for a couple of months now, even got arrested in Italy." He keeps scrolling. "You really do have a things for the bad boys."

I look at him, my eyes trailing to his lips and then back to his eyes, he's not a staller like me, he understood and pressed his lips up against mine, i move mine in sync with his only for the moment to be interrupted as someone knocks on the door.

"Literally not one second of peace in this house." He pulls away, licking his lips. "What?" He shouts.

"Uh... I can't find Yangyang or Winwin like anywhere." Johnny enters, "Sorry if i interrupted something."

"Are they out?" Taeyong asks, I get up and he closes the laptop over, grabbing the phone from his desk.

"No. Well, they were supposed to be helping Kun cook, and Kun said Yangyang got a call, didn't return, Winwin got a call shortly after, didn't come back. So he just assumed they were using excuses to get out of cooking, now everyone's in the dining room apart from them two." Johnny explains, Taeyong calling one of them.

The first number went to voicemail and so did the second, "Check the police station?" Taeyong asks, getting up the tracker on his phone.

"Taeil headed down there but there was nothing. Want me to get Jeno and Yuta?" Johnny asks.
