the offer seemed very tempting. 

lee taeyong was willing to drop everything just to run away and live happily with park miyoung. however, a gut wrenching feeling inside of him was preventing him from accepting her proposal.

instead, a dark chuckle left taeyong's lips. he didn't want to look at the girl as he knew that if he did, he might burst into tears. "but you don't really love me, right?"

miyoung looked at him curiously. had he not just listened to her love confession? "o-of course i do!" she proclaimed, "did you not--"

"i heard you." he interrupted. "but this is all a joke right?" the girl continued to study the boy's face. however it was difficult with him facing in another direction.

"w-why would i joke about something like this?" she asked quietly. her heart was pounding inside of her petite body.

"do you really think that i would drop everything to be with you now?" his tone sounded harsher than he intended but he kept going with the surge of emotions coursing through his body at the moment. "you're absolutely insane if you think you still had me wrapped around your little finger!"

this time, taeyong decided to look at the girl. shock was written all over her face, her lower lip was trembling with tears threatening to fall at any minute. "y-you're a monster--i don't even know who you are anymore..." taeyong whispered as he stood up from the bed.

as the man got up to leave, a cold hand reached out to pull him back. "p-please..." she cried softly, "y-you can't leave too!"

taeyong yanked his hand from her grip and turned around to look at her pathetic state.

"you know that you have it all," the man began, "you live a privileged life with maids and butlers waiting on you hand and foot, you can get anything you should ever want and need, you can get man you want on this planet." 

a sharp intake of breath was heard from the girl as her tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably. "you can have anything you want on this planet--but the one thing you want is what you don't have, scratch that, what you can't have."

taeyong turned around and slammed the door on the crying girl. once he left, a few louder sobs left her lips. she had not been expecting these turn of events. instead, she was wanting him to scoop her up and carry her away, care for her, love her--just like he always did... why was today so different?

as taeyong made his way down the stairs to the entrance of the large house, miyoung's chauffeur came up to him, "h-how did everything go?" sicheng asked quietly.

"you should go find another place to work because i don't think miss miyoung will be needing your assistance anymore."

taeyong called for a cab and made his way back home without a second glance behind his shoulder.
