N.O.P:
⏮️ time info @ night time in U.S, morning time in Seoul ⏭️
When guk reached the U.S, the first thing he called tae and tae asked the first thing was "When will you return?" tae himself doesn't know where guk went and when he will return.
"I don't know lolita, dad said there is one important project which I should finish successfully on behalf of our company once I completed will be back to Seoul as soon as possible, okay? So don't wor.." tae cuts him "Wha..what are you saying? You are not in Seoul?" a few seconds later guk responds quietly "No lolita, I'm in the U.S right now" a dead silence, guk doesn't know what tae is thinking he is in full nervous "Lolita" calls him to get a response, he received but not as he expected "I..I have class, bye" somehow guk can understand the confusing feelings in tae's voice before tae end the call guk says "I will call you in the evening" again after a good seconds tae replied "Hmmm" "Please wait for me, lolita" guk voice pleads while his hand holding the precious necklace very tightly as holding his breath to hear the answer.
Tae takes time to reply but his reply comes softly and strongly "I will, gukkie" after hearing those words only guk can able breathe normally "Thanks, thanks lolita"
⏮️ meanwhile, Chang Wook & Yoona's conversation ⏭️
"What is he doing? Did he eat anything?" yoona's first question about her son.
Chang wook checks his son from another room and noticed he is on the balcony on a call with someone, then replies to his wife "Not yet, he is still mad at us"
Yoona sighs "Hmmm, he will be alright soon, just eye on him"
"Hmm, how about there? Did his friends contact you?"
"Nope, I think they are also being mad at me"
"Do you think it will work, honey? We should not force them" chang wook asks while glancing at his son who is just simply staring at the dark sky.
"Trust me, chang. It will definitely work, have you forgotten how much of tae's collections we saw in his room when he was a child. At that time we might consider his feelings as just he likes tae, but when tae entered the second time in his life did you see that? How many changes he has, now we all have to do is just push him to be act mature. And this break time would definitely let them know how important each other is in their life"
"But what do we do if something happens opposite of our plans?"
"Nothing would happen, as I planned now hoseok must be told them. Hereafter they will take care and I trust yoongi 100%. He knows how to deal with them"
"Although.." chang wook still not satisfied with yoona's plan, even though that 3 months later whatever she said was just lie and cover up things. He still slightly care and is scared about the future.
"Tsk, don't worry I will take care of tae baby here. How long do you gonna stay with him?"
"Here, first I need to introduce him to them. I think I need to stay here one week"
"Hmm, okay. No problem, no rush. When you feel he is completely fine then leave okay?"
"Hmm, Understood"
⏮️ meanwhile, guk ⏭️
The second person he called none other than yoongi, he explained the situation and how he was literally kidnapped by his own parent. Yoongi quietly got the information but nothing says what hoseok said to them. All guk asked him was just take care of his lolita which is not required! Because yoongi knows how to take care of his tiny!
⏮️ time skips @ evening ⏭️
Yoona asked tae to stay with her in their home, but tae politely refused her offer. Whatever happens, he loves to stay in their shared room, it is not only just a room it's their emotions! They can only understand!!
While tae going back to his dorm, he notices many students looking at him then murmuring themselves which is clearly tells that they are talking about him only. If it was happening once or twice he would ignore them, but from morning to till now he is seeing these types very often. But still, he chooses to ignore and pass them.
As guk said he called on time, facetime, now they trying to move as the way life goes on. Guk promised him that this long-distance relationship gonna be less than a month, he will complete the project very quickly for him. Tae agrees with a few tears. Then he said he should focus on the upcoming exam as well, but at the same time, he requested him no matter what they should have a facetime on every day at this time. Which is guk gladly accepted.
Guk talks with him until tae fell asleep, then he rushed to the office where his dad gonna introduce him today. The first thing he asked his dad was the project plan, when he saw that he was quite excited because it was totally as he expected it to be, but the sad part is it was not a short-term project!
⏮️ time skips @ next day morning ⏭️
Tae started to focus on his studies seriously, since he came to the class early he started to do his work while the other students grouped and gossiping looking at him. He put on a headset to avoid them whatever the bullshit they are talking. But a pair of legs comes to his sight, still, he didn't look up from the book and stays as he didn't see anything. Until a hand yanked his headset to get his attention.
"You are really that cheap as the rumors going around?" the girl shouts while the other students come to stand behind her, they literally trying to cover the CCTV.
Tae just rolls his eyes in irritation "If you didn't mind your own fucking business yourself know what I can do or have you forgotten what happened to your dearest friend who messed up with me a few months ago? Do you wish to happen the same thing to you?" tae downed her who tried to down him in front of her friends.
"Youuu.. bastard, I'm not like you okay. You are the one doing the worst thing in this school.." tae didn't understand what she is talking about, because he have never done any worst thing "..don't act like you are innocent when you are truly not. Yes, we are being rude to everyone and talking mean things but we are so far away from you. Not like playing games to get into the school president's son's pants.." tae's heart stopped beating for a second by hearing those words, she continues her speech by clapping hands not caring about how tae eyes turning red "..you are a really brave person and great actor if not how could you even trap the school president in your hand, hmm? We even heard you are calling her aunt! really? How long have you planned and worked on this?.." "SHUT.UP" tae tries his best to not burst out "..Do you know what is this called?.." "I.SAID.SHUT.UP.YOU.BITCH" she leans closer and whispers "GOLD DIGGER"
