"Here's the folder which contains all persons who are involved in the search. Investigators, the police, the chief and the inspector. All of your father's activities are also recorded there from our Investigators information, including what job he was doing and where he lives,"A person, who I think was the one in charge, lectured. He stood in front of me, at his back was the plans I was supposed to do and the tactics we should follow to capture my Dad's existence.

I languidly nodded and stared ahead, looking at him hollowly.

Should I feel pity for my Dad?

No.

It turned out that my Dad stole 44.6 Million won from Youngmin, or in other words, the company. Dad borrowed 100k but he was actually fooling the one in charge of the accounts and took 1/3 of the year's income from the idol's activities.

SM almost went bankrupt if it wasn't for other companies who helped them but still owing a debt. The money they planned on taking from Dad will be the money they will give to the linked companies who helped because taking money from the company would have a higher risk of getting bankrupt again.

Sigh.

"Your plane leaves tomorrow at 3 am, along with our crew. As soon as we arrive, you will be escorted in a private area where you will be staying for the mere 3 years."

He took out another folder and gave me an envelope with it. I meekly accepted it and peeked at the envelope, regretting it when I saw it was my plane ticket for tomorrow.

"Do you know what to do, Lee Saeyeon-ssi?"

I shook my head.

"Well, you will be the replacement for your injured Mother. The reason why our options are both of you is because it might have a higher chance of convincing your Dad rather than some stranger that would probably alert or scare him. Our calculations predict that we will find him in less than 5 months and the rest of the year left will be for making him pay the money he stole."

"What if he doesn't have any money?" I questioned, my voice raspy.

He shrugged,"Any kind of possession will do or he could work for the company until he exactly pays back the 44.6 Million won."

"If he can pay it back,"I mumbled.

"So are we settled?" He asked and clasped his hands together.

"Oh yeah, sure,"I answered sarcastically but he took it as a genuine answer and smiled at me, holding his hand out to give me a handshake.

I accepted it and shook his hand lightly before standing up and leaving the cold room. I hugged myself tightly and tried to calm myself, feeling another surge of emotions as I thought of leaving Sehun for 3 years.

I don't even know what I will do in those 3 years to feel alive. Without Sehun, I was just a body without a soul and a heart. Chine is so big, how the heck would I even survive there?

I'd get lost, along with myself, and I'd be going mad if I stay at hotel room or condos. I don't eat Chinese food either and as I thought about it more, I was not ecstatic about the crowded place and billions of people.

Good luck, Sae.

And those were the words I repeated to myself as I trudged to our house, feeling a slight pity for myself. So, how the heck am I gonna tell Sehun about me leaving tomorrow?

I sighed, I'd just let my mouth take over. Nothing bad will happen because I know Sehun would understand. I know he will.

With a heavy heart, I unlocked the door and went in, seeing a sleeping Sehun by the couch.

Would he be like this everyday when I'm not with him?

I fought the urge to wake him up and proceeded to go upstairs. As soon as I went into my room, I threw my bag across my room and sprawled myself on my bed, snuggling into my duvet, memorizing how it felt.

Then I heard the footsteps of Sehun and I heard my door opened. I waited for him to lay beside me and when he did, he snuggled me to his chest. His head was on my neck, buried and his voice was muffled by my hair.

"Why didn't you go to me?" He whispered.

"I didn't want to bother you,"I answered back.

He scoffed,"The reason I slept there was for you to bother me."

I laughed," Alright then, next time I see you sleeping, I'll pour water on your face."

He made a whimper,"That's not good...but at least I get to see you laugh. That's enough to make every day of my life the happiest."

I didn't respond and just laid there with him, his arms wrapped around my waist. Of course, I was still uncomfortable with all the skin ship we made but it just felt so good to be in Sehun's arms. I never even knew Sehun was this bold to go this far with me. Even to point where kissing was now my favorite hobby.

"Sehun",I murmured as I buried my face on the pillow. I felt him tighten his grip.

"Yes?"

Am I ready to tell him?

"I have something to tell you",I whispered.

"Wait,"He shifted in his position,"Is it bad news or good news?"

"Mhmm"

He made me face him and wrapped his arms even tighter, our noses touching dearly. I sighed and looked at his brown eyes that was boring into mine lovingly. He blinked his eyes and flashed me a small smile of encouragement.

"It's bad news,"I stated quietly.

He heaved,"I was hoping you would say both. At least I'd get to have some good news. So, what is it?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow,"I closed my eyes,"I'm leaving at 3 am."

What I said made him sat up and looked at me with wide eyes. I creased my eyebrows and just looked up at him.

"What? Why so sudden?"

I chuckled despite what I felt,"I know. It's so cliche as to why I have to leave immediately. I hate this."

I was close to crying. Really close to get a tear drop from watering eyes. Very close to cry with Sehun as I curse why this happened to me. Very close to run away with Sehun and just escape everything.

He didn't say anything like I expected. He just looked at me with an expression I couldn't pinpoint.

"What time is it?" I asked him.

"9:14 pm,"He replied hoarsely.

9:14 pm.

"I'm sorry," I finally broke down and sat up, afraid to let Sehun see me weak. "I'm sorry I couldn't do anything about it...I t-tried t-to...S-Sehun"

I rubbed my eyes like a kid and ducked my head. I heard him chuckle and before I knew it, I was in his arms and his mouth was resting on my shoulders, as if placing a comforting kiss there.

"Sae, it's okay. We're having promotions in China too so I get to see you often,"Sehun muffled. "To be honest, it's not that bad. What are you crying about? I can see you in a heartbeat whenever I want to. I would really fly all the way to China to see you"

I was speechless. I faced him to see him smiling at me.

He tucked my hair and placed a chaste kiss on my forehead.

"It's going to be alright. I promise,"He whispered.
