Taeyong couldn't sleep that night. He still couldn't believe that Jaehyun came back. He's been here for a while and he didn't get any news, even from his foster parent. Maybe she didn't want them to meet. Then does that mean she still holds a grudge against Taeyong?

He doesn't have any relation with Jaehyun anymore, other than a mere boss-employee relationship, although he's still holding onto the promise they had.

If they weren't separated, what could've happened? Maybe if Jaehyun wasn't brought to America, Taeyong would be in the streets right now. Things wouldn't get any better if this didn't happen to them. Taeyong wouldn't say it's the best, but what choice did he even had back then?

Thinking about it, what life did Jaehyun had in America? He knew nothing but there were several, a mountain, of letters that would ask Jaehyun's day. Taeyong would want to know how he was and what things he's been doing. By the looks of it, Jaehyun seemed well. The boy's happy that he's able to be whoever he wanted to be.


But he would still want to talk to him.


"You looked like you slept pretty well," Johnny sarcastically said.

Taeyong groaned, "Shut up. I don't want to talk about it."

"Been thinking about Jae-to-the-Hyun?"

"Johnny! We're in the office!" the boy whisper shouted then goes to drink his coffee, which was something rare because he only drink coffee whenever he needs to stay awake.

"Hey, if you really want to talk to him, go and give him some coffee."

Taeyong looked at him with widened eyes, "I'm not that desperate to talk to him, so don't hold that against me," then turns his back to walk out of the office's small kitchen.

"Pft. Really?"

The boy stopped and saw his friend's teasing smirk which made him frown, "Johnny..."

"When will you guys talk then? Also, it wouldn't hurt," the man said.

Taeyong sighed, thinking about his chances. To be honest, he wanted to go and talk to him. Take some time to just catch up with everything and give each other an update. He was already having cold sweat and messy thoughts just thinking about it. Surely, he'll be stuttering around him, but Jaehyun is Jaehyun.


They're going to be the same.


"You think he likes coffee?" Taeyong asked.

Johnny rolled his eyes, "Just make him black coffee or something."

"You sure he'll talk to me? I shouldn't be the one bringing him coffee, by the way."

"Then find some excuse. Bring a folder or something and tell his secretary you have to be the one telling him."

The boy hesitated but sighed, "No promises. I have some other things to do anyway. See you later, Johnny."


But of course, Taeyong goes back into the kitchen to make some coffee, with a folder in hand, then goes towards the elevator to get off on the right floor which was the top one. He tried to get himself in a calm state, no crazy thoughts. He'll just a simple conversation with Jaehyun.


No problem, Taeyong.

Once he arrived, he walked towards the secretary's desk which he was immediately greeted.
