"Your father wanted you to own the Chae Industries and god be damned, you will get it even if you don't want it for yourself."

Hyungwon remembers the words uttered by his mother on the morning he slapped Hyungwon in front of minhyuk. The exact words that contradicts everything that his father have left in the letter.

Scoffing, Hyungwon turned right, the looming shadows behind him reminded him that he was not alone and one wrong move would lead to a consequence. He felt relieved when he was suddenly walking along with one of his childhood friends, Mingi. His very cousin who was presumed to be someone that he should feel threatened too.

Especially when Mingi was one of the people fighting for the position as the heir of Chae Industries. Hyungwon could only do a polite nod and not allow any conversation to proceed between them.

Hair slicked back and chest pressed in a tight suit. Hyungwon raised his head, convincing himself that he would only drop this act of considering Mingi as his enemy, once he finally proclaims to everyone that he would no longer be a Chae.

And in his hidden pocket was a piece of letter that would eventually put things to the right place.

He still hasn't seen minhyuk but his senses were at calm when Mr. Namjoon visited them at dawn, just to get Hoseok and Minhyuk away from the Residence. In case something might happen when the night falls and all the Chae's would come together to have a peaceful gathering.

Hyungwon couldn't be anymore grateful when Mr. Namjoon gave him this letter, it might be delayed for years but Hyungwon was happy that Mr. Namjoon have finally took hold into his father's last will.

And inside this letter would set Hyungwon free.

Something that his father hasn't done before but he must have foreseen the0 future to ready this letter, for occurrences such like this.

Hyungwon and Mingi stopped in front of the closed door, slicked in golden color and chinese carvings, that would lead them to the dining hall. Flickering lights and the smell of cinnamon filled the air, as the servant opened the doors for them. Forcing Hyungwon to move forward the scene and saw the familiar faces that he haven't seen for three years.

Mingi parted with Hyungwon as he sat between his parents, Nam and Sooyoung, both of the couple welcoming his presence. Then of course, there's the women, Chae Jungeun, Taeyeon and Haena, who took essence and feed on his mother's greed -- and then feeding her with ideas to the point that she become the person she was today.

Jaw clenching, he saw his mother seated beside them, body enveloped in a dark blue dress, the splash of red lipstick made her appear ghostly as her sweet coy smile was displayed into her face, hiding her real agenda.

Rotten women.

Hyungwon could only glare back at them as their piercing gaze followed his steps, Hyungwon stared with his mother a little bit longer before looking away, fighting back the urge to roll his eyes in front of the whole clan.

As his feet lead him on the other side of the long table, he saw the poor and kindred faces of his uncles and then his Grandmother, Chae Yuki, who still possessed great beauty and cunning charms that she stood up in her sit to welcome Hyungwon. One of her hands tightly wrapped in his neck and another on his back.

Hyungwon could feel her fingers digging deep in his skin.

"Welcome back, Hyungwon." she said. "It's been a long time."
