"Wonwoo!"

I looked over my shoulder and saw one of my brothers walking to where I am sitting a minute now. "Jeonghan hyung." I acknowledge and saw that he was still the same, except for his now shorter hair.

Jeonghan hyung, my brother that has his own fair share of secrets. He's one of the people I raced with that never gave up until they beat me, but tough luck, not him and not my other brothers who enjoy the speed can beat me. But that was ages ago. I had forgotten my love for speed. For now, I'm fully focused on running one of our family businesses. Since our Dad let the empire fall, Seungcheol hyung build it again. Dad needed to look after Mom; making Seungcheol hyung to take over but he can't handle the whole empire alone. He needed to delegate each and every member of our family to various departments and fields.

That is why I am here.

"It's good to see you again, Wonwoo-yah. I thought you wouldn't show up." He bumped my shoulder lightly before taking the seat next to me.

I glanced at him. "Do you want me to take back my decision, then?"

"What? Of course not! I am just surprised that you agreed to me that easily." He said in a chuckle. He's been glancing around me. "You're alone?"

I raised a brow at him. "I thought Soonyoung was with you?" He then asked.

Soonyoung – our other brother.

"That. He called at my office few days ago but I'm still at England at that time. I just arrived this lunch."

He turned to look at me. "No jet lag?" He seems to be surprised and can't believe that my private plane just landed hours ago.

"I got used to it, hyung." I said, shrugging.

"Are you still human?" He asked, shaking his head in disbelief.

He can't blame me thou, for I know he's also like me. The life we have made us get used to situations like this. We always fly in and out of the country for business purposes. Seungcheol hyung is currently targeting the automobile industry to widen our car dealing and manufacturing business and it requires all the empire's departments to do more work. He wants to partner up with Speed Chase, England's largest car company and is owned by Nathan Chase. Seungcheol hyung saw the opportunity and with his great ideas, Chase immediately agreed upon the deal.

As for me who is currently sitting in the throne of the President and CEO of Carat Tracks Inc., I need to fly back and forth to England to personally see the progress of the deal between Chase and my brother. I'm grateful that it ended up nice, clean and sealed.

"Then I guess we need to call for a celebration! We're complete after only God knows how long."

My eyebrows instantly furrowed at my brother's remarks. "You're expecting other guests?"

"Of course! You're not the only person I know who loves speed, my dear brother." He grinned. "I want to see Mingyu's reaction when he sees my masterpiece later." Then a laugh followed. This brother of mine never changed. He's always after competitions. "So, you in? It's a reunion, after all."

"No, hyung. I'll pass." I hurriedly declined. I needed to catch some sleep. Besides I need to buy Mom a present for my grand comeback and Seungkwan's birthday gift. He might eat me alive for not being a good brother to him which means me not giving him a present for his birthday. He's always been a diva, I know. Besides, I don't have the time to have fun. Not now.

"Aye, Wonwoo! It's been a while since the group had a get together. Be ----"

I sighed harshly and eyed him. Even if Jeonghan hyung is older that me, he knows I'm the uptight one. "I came because of the duties Seungcheol hyung needs the both of us to do, hyung. Not to have fun."
