I raked my hands through my hair and huffed. I was more than angry now. I sat down on the couch and threw my phone beside me. I was angry at Kat for not telling me where he was going but I was even more angry at what he told me. But, most of all, I was angry at Minjun. How did he think leaving would solve everything? It had only caused more problems. Maybe not with the company but definitely our dynamic. It had been completely fucked because our middle was gone. We were all uncomfortable and sad. Zane walked through the door and straight to me. I had sent him a text to come home.

"What's wrong, Hyung?" I looked up at him before closing my eyes for a moment and sighing.

"Kat found him." Zane bent down in front of me and placed his hands on my thighs.

"Kat Hyung found Minjun?" I nodded. He frowned and sat down. "Did he call you?" I nodded again. "What did he say?"

"He said that Minjun was blackmailed into leaving us." Zane raised a brow.

"What could the CEO possibly have on him to make him do that?" I sighed.

"Pictures. Of us. All of us. At the park. He blackmailed him with our relationship. It was either Minjun left or he exposed us. Minjun chose to protect us instead of telling us the truth. He didn't want to make it harder than it already was for us. I rested my hands on top of his clenched ones and linked our fingers together.

"Does he know...? I mean that we're in the process of suing those bastards and that we're trying to get our copyrights?" I shook my head.

"Kat said he wanted to work on getting Minjun back here before he told him. He doesn't want to stress him more than he already is."

"Why can't they just come home?"

"Someone is watching Junie. Kat has to figure out how to get them out without alerting the company that we know." He smiled.

"I have an idea. Let me make a call." I raised a brow.

"Who are you calling?" His smile widened.

"A friend who owes me a favor. I'll be back, love." All I could do was nod. He didn't call me love often but when he did that meant he was plotting one of his schemes. I sighed. It was never good when he called me love. He came back 10 minutes later with a glowing smile that made my heart skip a beat.

"Minjun and Kat will be home in three days."

"What?"

"Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to. Just know that they will be home in three days."

"Um, okay."

Kat P.O.V

I sat my phone down and walked over to Minjun's bed. He'd passed asleep the moment I dried his hair. He didn't even bother to put on a shirt so he was only in sweatpants. I sat down beside him and slid my hand into his hair soothingly. It was apparent from the dark circles under his eyes that he hadn't slept well in a while. I knew it had something to do with his situation. He acted completely fine but I could tell from the moment I saw him that he was miserable. He just didn't want to show it. He wanted to be okay for me and himself but he wasn't. He was close to breaking and I was worried that it would happen at a time when he needed to be put together the most. There was a lot that he didn't know. He needed to but I decided to just let him rest for a while. My hand paused when he started to move.

"Kat Hyung, please don't leave me. I can't lose you again." I frowned and changed positions. The moment I laid down, his arms went around my waist and his head landed on my chest. I slid my hand into his hair again. I pressed my lips to his ear and kissed it lightly.

"I won't ever let you go again. I promise." His arms tightened around me. I wasn't sure if he was aware of what he was doing but I could tell that he needed me and I wouldn't leave his side until he no longer needed me.
