" I don't hate you, I just hate that I can't have you..."

- Vegas

I don't know what to feel anymore. Everyone in this mansion laughing, joking, teasing and doing games. Chasing after each other when someone cheats in those games. The mansion was filled with giggles and happiness. But for me, it's a whole different thing. I felt so cold, the mansion also was cold and dull. I felt so lonely, mansion also felt the same.

This giant mansion is just some walls to me without Pete. I know that, he had stayed in the mansion for a long time. I could hear Pete's cute giggles through every corridors. The mansion tried to convince me that Pete used to run and laugh in every corner of this mansion. I felt it whenever I walked through every corner in every room. Specially, the corridor that consists of Pete's and his three cousins' rooms.

Once, I walked to that side of the mansion and stopped infront of the Pete's room. His name and his photo was plated in the door. Other three doors also have it's owner's name and the photo. But the special thing from Pete's room is it was locked from outside with a big lock. I know it's stupid, but I tried to open it.

" I am sad to say, but it's useless to try like that." Riana said coming out from her room. Her room was next to Pete's room.

" Why?" I asked.

" It's because only Pete can open it and three of us never dared to open it." She smiled.

" Why did he locked it?"

" He officially left our dorm one and half year ago. When he left, he locked the room he used for years."

" What is the reason for him to leave like that?" I questioned.

" He said that he wanted some space." Her smile wasn't anywhere to find.

" Ohh, is that so?"

" Yeahh..." She scanned me from head to toe. " Oppa, I know you're looking for Pete. He is kinda busy with his music and his fashion brand. Don't worry, he will come here again." I nodded.

" Thank you so much Riana." I smiled at her. I was trying ask more about Pete from her, because she was his best friend. But, I stopped halfway when I saw an anxious Kinn running like a madman towards me.

" Ouch my tummy hurts from running." He was catching his breath and his hands were on his waist like a grandma.

" What?"

" Ve- Vegas... Day a-after t-tomorrow..." He was speaking word by word. It annoyed me a lot.

" What nonsense you're talking?" I told looking at my cousin.

" Oppa, take a deep breath... Yeah inhale and exhale... Good... is it better?" Kinn nodded and muttered thank you. Then, Riana excused herself from there.

" Vegas, w-we will have to attend a function day after tomorrow." Kinn said.

" What function?"

" It's a ceremony which all the famous business and mafia families attend through the years. Can't you remember our fathers attended something like that in past years?"

" Yeah, so?" I raised my brows.

" You know the venue of that ceremony is always changing in every year. So, now that ceremony will be held in Seoul. Luckily, we're in Korea." Kinn chuckled to himself.

" So what?"

"Aiii, you moron... The new generation of Theerapanyakul family must attend to that!!!" Kinn huffed.

" Who says?" I asked shortly.

" Papa... Papa said he has some urgent work. So, he won't be able to attend."
