Some moments would change a life forever. May it be good or bad, there were moments that one could not avoid.

I tried. Hard. But I failed.

Guilty? I did not feel that. Why? I was deranged. Did it ruin my life? Perhaps. Did I regret it? Wrongdoings should be regrettable. Should I be thankful? Wrongdoings may be regrettable but still, we learned from it. It sure had a bad impact on our lives but hopefully, it would lead us to be a better humans. As a lesson to be exact.

It opened my eyes to things I never thought possible. Things that if this regrettable thing did not transpire, I wouldn't even have an idea.

TAEHYUNG

Today was a great day.

I received a lot of praise from my possible future business partners. I was good at business talks. The reason why my business grew and was successful. I had a lot of business deals. I buried myself in this world. It paid well. I was living a comfortable life. I and my family.

What was the difference? Linda used to give me reports but I was the one in charge to make a presentation. She wasn't really techie. At her age, I couldn't blame her. But Jin made work easier for me. No need to remind him or to instruct him, he would do it in advance. With minimal or no supervision at all. What was amazing was that he always did things right the first time. One of the things that I admired the most. He was very organized, smart, and knowledgeable. Perhaps, it was in his blood as his father was one of the businessmen that I looked up to.

I checked my email and saw various messages. One letter caught my attention but I did not open it. I wasn't sure if I needed to open it. I put it in a folder and went on to the other. I saw Jin's report but the drive I brought wasn't working. Mindlessly, I took my phone and dialed Jin's number.

He answered. His voice was low and obviously sleepy. When I dropped the call, it was then I realized that it was 1 in the morning. I was about to call him again to tell him to just go back to sleep but the bell rang and I was certain that it was him.

To my utter surprise, he was wearing thin silk sleepwear, just long enough to slightly cover his underwear. I was shocked that he walked in the hallway only with those. I immediately pulled him inside my room. Unaware of the consequences of my action.

"Are you crazy? Why did you go out in those?" I closed the door behind him and he was staring at my hand gripping on his elbow. I had to remove it.
