Arriving at his tower, Seven walks straight to his office ignoring Marko's greeting. The latter sensed that something is wrong and already send a message to his lover.

His hunch was confirmed as he saw how his friend is destroying everything inside the room.

"Seven, calm down!" Marko exclaimed trying to hold the CEO down.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" Seven shouted.

He's raking his hair harshly and Marko let him go thinking that he's calm. Tristan is already there too but they all shouted when Seven suddenly smashed the wall resulting in injuring his knuckles.

Tristan grabs Seven's arm that was about to land on the wall again.

"Will you fucking stop, Seven!" Tristan exclaimed making the latter sit on the sofa.

Both of them are breathing hard while Marko is observing and analyzing the possible cause of why their friend is acting like this.

"What the hell is wrong-

"Aerith," Marko said intervening with his lover's words.

Seven's face shows strained pain. Tristan and Marko were taken aback.

"What happened?" Marko asked.

Seven sighed and covers his face with his palms while his elbows are on his knees.

"I screwed up," he answered muffled.

"You always do that so, what's the difference now?" Tristan said trying to lighten up the situation.

Seven scoffed but didn't say anything.

"You're serious about him," Marko stated instead of asking.

The 25-year-old businessman looked up at him and his face shows what Marko said is true. The latter smiled and took a seat beside him.

Draping his arm around Seven's shoulder, "I'm happy that you found the one for you, but try to control your temper, Sev so that you will not lose this chance of getting your happiness," he advised.

Seven closed his eyes and took calming breaths.

"Thanks. I know that but I can't help it especially when it comes to him. But now, I scared him," he said making the two confused.

"Scared him?" Tristan queried.

Seven's face grimaced remembering the look on Aerith's face earlier.

"Tell us what happened," Marko said and Seven told them what happened.

"That, sucks," Marko said.

"What did he say?" Tristan asked.

Seven sighed and leaned back his head on the sofa and covers his face with his forearm.

"He looked disappointed and of course, hurt," he said.

His friends just hummed and so he continues, "He asked why and was it enough to do that to him. Honestly, I feel like a worthless man when it comes to him and what sucks is that-

"You never felt that way before," Marko continued his words.

"What am I going to do?" Seven uttered. He can only open up like this with his friends.

Marko and Tristan shared a meaningful look. This is the first time that Seven opened up again after what happened in the past.

Marko sighed and sit beside Seven. "You love him, Sev and that's the reason why you are like that,"

Seven remained quiet, "All these years you walled up your feelings to keep yourself from getting hurt. Yes, you are one hell of a fucker but when it comes to love, you never play with it. You love genuinely. What happened before made you like this that you always wanted to make sure that what is yours is yours only.
