To be quite honest, after saying their goodbyes and watching Zee step into the elevator it hit Saint that he did not have anything else to do for the night. Of course there was homework to pass the time with, but that could be done within two maybe three hours. He wanted to see what his friends were up to and sent them a text in the group chat but it was only Billy and Opp who had gotten back to him. They told him that they started the day off at Billy's by having breakfast. It was only the kids since their parents had business to attend to. When everyone was done eating and talking, Opp, Billy, Rain and Mild went to Opp's house to box out any unwanted feelings between the siblings but to also help Opp with his car. It did not come as a shock that Orn decided to leave and hang out with her own friends but none of them had heard from her since then. They asked Saint if he wanted to join in on their plans of going to a night club and he did think about it. He chose to stay in for the rest of this night and told them he will see them at school tomorrow - hopefully.

His finger then hovered over Orns contact number. If she was still out with the girls then he did not want to bug them but with none of them hearing from her since the morning, something just did not sit right with him. He decided to just send a couple of text messages. The simple "Hey! Hope your day has been okay", "Tell Fah and Nara I said hi!", "Text me when you get home :)", and "Make sure you eat something for dinner and don't spend the night gossiping away!". He was positive that she would see them and get back to him on one of those requests.

Saint was in the middle of watching a show when his phone started to buzz. Thinking it was Orn finally getting back to him, he quickly unlocked it to only find a message from Mew.

P'Mew - I need your key to have it copied. If you're home I can come and get it but if not then we can wait another day. I don't want to leave you keyless.

Saint - It's okay to come now. I'm just going to do homework and maybe watch shows all night so it wouldn't be a problem.

P'Mew - Be there in maybe fifteen minutes? I have to make sure everyone is out of the art gallery first.

Saint - Just knock or text when you get here.

Saint was able to finish one more episode of his show before he heard knocking on the door. When he opened it, Mew came in apologizing for being late. What should have been fifteen minutes turned into almost forty.

"Sorry I'm late. With it being the last week for the public to see the art exhibit, everyone is walking through it and taking their sweet time doing it."

"I told you it's fine, Phi. I'm not my grandfather who wants everything on time." Saint walked to the coffee table where his keys sat and began looking through them to figure out which one was the one he needed. Mew took it upon himself to sit right in the corner of the sofa.

"It's already bad enough that he wants me at the building an hour and a half early now. No one is even there at five in the morning. Not even the janitors! I've been the one to open the door for them! Besides making sure that you get there after classes, I have to be at the art too now. " Mew let his shoulder slump down in his rant.

"You could have stayed in America. Less work there compared to here"

"Hmm I wish that was the case. I watched you didn't I? Made sure you attended class and sat in on all the business meetings."

"My messed up sleep schedule really helped us didn't it? I would what - be drinking coffee at 3am in a suit in front of my laptop just mindlessly agreeing to whatever my grandfather had to say. It was the highlight of my day but here."

"Even if I wanted to stay, he's the one who brought me back here. It was chaos making sure everything at both branches were set in stone before I left but I got it done. Plus, I knew all you kids missed me." Mew looked at Saint with his eyes closed but a big smile plastered across his face.
