"A good paid job with a roof over you head, food on you table and exclusive opportunities to travel the world," he said and she inhaled sharply. "Yuta had told me you can be Donghyuck's private teacher during their world tour."

"This is..." she felt pain. "It is unreal."

"It is real. Yuta is an honest man, if he says so, he will take you with him and it's an opportunity you can't waste Ella. Chances like that come once in a lifetime and only to a few chosen ones," Taeil's voice became softer.

"I can't leave you, not after what happened, you're wounded and you need someone..." she stuttered.

"I'm not going to be the one holding you back," he moved up from his chair. "I'm breaking up with you."

"What?" she wasn't able to breath properly, her body exploding with pain. "You can't Taeil, I love you."

"I'm breaking up with you Ella," he repeated.

"Why?"

"Because I want to," he walked to the door. "You can live here for these two weeks, I'll sleep in the lake house."

"Taeil!" she shouted, but he took a backpack form the floor, grabbed the pickup keys then slammed the door shut behind himself.

"Taeil..." whispered Ella sobbing into her hands, she couldn't believe it was over so suddenly.

No, he hasn't just left her... she loved him, she needed him and she has thought he loved her too. Why, she couldn't believe as there was simply no logical explanation behind it.




Yuta was trembling like crazy, it was a week before them leaving on tour and he deiced to go to speak with Sicheng's parents openly. He knocked to the door of the house he had only seen from the distance so far, but no one invited him in, so he pushed the door open glancing inside.
Sicheng's mother was lying the table, her face became dark when she saw him.

"Yes?" she asked.

"Hello I'm Yuta, Sicheng's friend," said Yuta bowing down, trembling from tension.

"Sicheng is not allowed to go out and has no time to speak to you," she said sharply.

"No Mrs, I came to speak to you," Yuta closed the door behind himself.

Sicheng fell into the living room, he became pale when he noticed him.

The boy's father came inside, he clenched his fists noticing Yuta.

"Hello sir," Yuta bowed down again.

"What are you doing here?" Sicheng's father looked as if he was about to beat him up.

"I came to talk to you, both of you," Yuta was so nervous.

"About?" Sicheng's father crossed his arms.

"I'm leaving Rose Valley in a week, geeing on our with my band and I'd like to ask if Sicheng can come on tour with me," muttered Yuta.

Both Sicheng's parents were looking at him as if he had lost it, so he took a step back.

"He's my friend and I want to show him the world, he can train with the best choreographers in the world for the dance competition..." started Yuta.

"Such crap," Sicheng's father walked to a chair sitting down ignoring Yuta completely.

"Sir please hear me out!" Yuta raised his voice.

"Kid, leave my house before I start to become unpleasant. Sicheng will finish high school this year, if he will take part in that stupid dance competition or not we will see," Sicheng's father placed a lot of meat on his plate.

"Ella is coming on tour to teach Donghyuck, she can work with Sicheng too, he can pass his exam in time," whispered Yuta. "And he can just go to university a year later, right?"

Yuta saw how Sicheng was shaking his head miserably begging him to leave with his eyes.

To Yuta's surprise Sicheng's father burst out with ironic laughter, he was laughing so hard he needed a minute to calm down.

"What's so funny?" asked Yuta in shock.

"Your ideas about life boy are out of this world," the man laughed more. "Sicheng will finish school and this year in the summer he will marry, find a job in the harbour and make a few kids, that's it," his father slammed his fist on the table.

"Marry?" asked Yuta in shock. "B-but Sicheng is not in love with any..." he stuttered.

"Stop wasting my time with that nonsense boy, we'll find the right woman for him in a few months, he will learn to love," the man looked at Sicheng who lowered his head, his face becoming very red.

"And I've thought you're a person," hissed Yuta causing Sicheng's father to look at him in shock. "But you're just an old-fashioned, narrow minded, passive life loser who thinks someone else's life belongs to him, because he has no balls to take care of his own life and see how filled with misery and useless it is," said Yuta looking at the man then turning around and slamming the door shut leaving the house.

He was trembling, he really hoped Sicheng won't be punished for his outburst, but he was so mad. He kicked the car tire swearing loudly, a few birds in the woods echoed his mad screams.

How could Sicheng's parents want to bring such life-long peril over the boy, have they ever considered anything, like his will, his passion for dance, his own plan, hie sexuality, his right to choose his own life partner... definitely not.

Yuta jumped into the van slamming the door shut, driving off. He knew his decision was final, he will take Sicheng with him, even if it would require for his bodyguards to break into the house and drag Sicheng out.
