Two weeks flew fast but to Seven, it felt like 20 years. Now that all his commitments are done, he's very eager to go back.

From the airport, he went straight to the café. To his dismay, the café is closed.

What agitates him more is, he cannot contact Aerith for two days now. No luck at the café, he tried checking at the younger's home.

Ringing the bell for quite some time, his patience is wearing thin. He resorted to breaking in, but again, no one is there.

Screaming in frustration, he fished out his phone. Someone answered after some rings.

"Find him," he ordered and cut the call.

To calm himself, he went to Aerith's room and sits on the bed. He lies down and relaxes as Aerith's scent fills his nose. Hugging the latter's pillow and inhaling deeply, the tiredness starts to engulf his being.

"Where are you, baby?" he mumbled as he slowly drifts to sleep.

After 3 hours, Seven starts stirring and slowly opening his eyes. Seeing the room, he bolted up remembering where he is.

"Aerith?" he starts calling out.

"Aerith, baby?" he calls again going to the living room.

"Oh, you're up,"

Seven turned thinking it was Aerith but no. It wasn't his baby. It's Kylo.

"Where is he?" he asked grabbing Kylo's shoulders.

Kylo is studying him, "Don't know,"

Frowning, "That's bullshit! Where is he?!" he exclaimed emphasizing each word.

Kylo clicked his tongue and removed the CEO's hands, on him.

"I don't know, and even if I do, I will not tell you," he said.

That angers Seven, "Fuck you!" he punched Kylo.

"Who do you think you are to-

Seven was cut because Kylo punched him back.

"I know who I am in Aerith's life, what about you?" Kylo spat.

Seven gritted his teeth and was about to answer but Kylo speaks again.

"This is not about us, it's about him. If  I know his whereabouts, I will not tell because he needs to be alone," Kylo said.

Breathing heavily, "What do you mean?" Seven asked confused.

Kylo sighed and sits on the sofa, "It's not my right to tell. All I can say is he's safe and will come back,"

The billionaire is not satisfied and Kylo knows it.

"Look, I know I may look like I'm against you, but believe me, I'm not as long as you won't hurt him. I'm only looking out for him. And as for this matter, only he can tell you and explain what's going on. But for now, just let him be and wait for him to come back," Kylo explained.

Seven sighed tiredly, "You sure he's okay?"

Kylo nodded, "Yeah. Besides, Mr. Valentine is with him if he needs something,"

Knowing his "rival" is with Aerith, Seven grunted in frustration making Kylo chuckle.

"You really hate Mr. V, huh?" Kylo mused.

"Can you blame me?" Seven asked back.

Kylo chuckled, "Why do you hate him so much?"

Seven huffed, "It's a different kind of hate,"
