Yoona buried her face in her pillow holding her breath for a few seconds then turned and inhaled again. How she wanted to suffocate herself after tattle telling everything to Taecyeon. She wasn't a child anymore and she couldn't even keep her mouth shut. Yoona flipped onto her other side and clutched onto the blanket covering her. She couldn't imagine how awkward Taecyeon might have felt with her sudden exposure of emotions.

"Good job, Yoona. Job well done." she sarcastically told herself bitterly.

With a heavy sigh she urged sleep to quickly come.

Saturday meant it was a day off from the office unless she received a call to head in. But that morning there was no call as she lie there in bed. She didn't want to get up nor did she want to sleep anymore. There was nothing to do. Maybe she'd sit down and enjoy some TV shows with her mom. She knew for sure her father would be out, but then her mother would be extremely cautious around her because of the cancellation of the wedding. Her mother would make her feel even more uncomfortable.

What was there to do?

Should she apologize to Taecyeon for being a bum yesterday afternoon? Or would she head to her office and pick up some work?

"Yoona? Are you still sleeping?" her mother knocked on her locked door. "Wake up and eat breakfast, honey. I've left the food on the kitchen table."

Yoona stared at the wall.

"I'm going to go shopping in a bit, do you want to go with me?"

Yoona debated. Well, there it was. She'd go shopping with her mom to clear her mind some then she'd decide if she wanted to call Taecyeon up.

"Ach...so bored." Taecyeon muttered rubbing his eye flipping through the channels bored. "Yah, move out of the way so I can see the screen."

Victoria was sitting in front of the TV cabinet going through the DVDs inside. It was as if she could never get enough of looking at the movies. He wondered what about the movies interested her so much.

"What's this one about?" Victoria asked showing him the Windstruck DVD.

Taecyeon leaned forward and read the title, "Windstruck? It's from 2004. It's pretty old. Why would you be interested in that?"

"I was watching but never finished it." Victoria explained. "Donghae said the ending would ruin my mood so he turned it off."

"He did?" Taecyeon repeated. "How many times has he come here?"

"Once, twice, a few times." she replied putting the DVD gently back as if it were some kind of antique.

Victoria was silent as she retraced her eyes to the TV.

"Yah, move back. You can get blind staring at the TV up close like that." Taecyeon said from the couch.

Victoria didn't move then turned around excited, "Lets cook!"

Weekend or not it was the same as a weekday through Donghae's point of view. He awoke early, drank some coffee with his breakfast, and walked out of the house before running into his mother.

After his mother had caught him with Victoria things hadn't been pretty between them. It was argue here or there and she was set on putting him under her control again. Yoona or not the wedding was going to happen sooner or later. Honestly, Donghae felt suffocated in the house and had contemplated about moving out once or twice but his father's presence had told him to remain still under the roof.
