'' W-What about Gaon?'' She asked when she felt Yohan gently hugging her in return.

'' We will visit him. He have a life here...'' He said even though his voice tremble a bit. '' He have soo Yoon. He will be alright. '' He carefully ruffles his fingers in Elijah's hair, and pat her back. He informed her that their flight was tomorrow morning.

Gaon could hear their conversation. His back was leaned against the wall right beside Elijah's room. He came here to ask her what she wanted to eat, as he was not able to cook due to his bruises and pain, but he could order something as his treat, but when his picked up Yohan's voice talking with Elijah about Switzerland. He could not hold his curiosity and decided to listen instead.

' so he is leaving?'

He slid his hand over his grey shirt, clutching it tightly with small sad smile on his lips.

'' Of course. He don't have anyone he need to take revenge from.'' He whispered before retrieving his steps back down to the living room.

' its for the better. '

He held the edge of the stairs railing. Holding back small tears, which made his eyes glassy. Its for better that's what he kept telling himself, after all he won't have to fear. Especially Yohan to ever find out what sort of monster Gaon was. He would never put Elijah and Yohan in any sort of media trouble because of him. He knew how much Yohan was famous.

When Gaon opened the door, Soo Yoon smiled at him while handing him the flowers.
' His favorites: Sunflowers'

'' Thank you for those sun flowers.'' Gaon smile as he steps a bit on the side and allowed soo Yoon to walk inside.

After closing the door behind her, they made their way to the living room. Gaon was glad he told Elijah and Yohan already about soo Yoon's visit, when Yohan told him about his plan to move to Switzerland for Elijah's treatment. Gaon was happy that Elijah in near future would be able to walk. He could not ask for more.

but it was true some part of him didn't wanted them to go. After losing his family, Yohan and Elijah happened to fill that hollow inside his heart.

'' No matter how many times I come here, this place always seems like a maze.'' Soo Yoon said glancing around the big living room and take her seat on the couch.

'' Mhm I was like that too.'' He replied. Soo Yoon placed her hand on Gaon making him look at her. Gaon could tell she was worried for him.

''If you are going to ask me if I am okay, my answer is yes. I am alright. No one beat me as hard as you.'' He said with the hint of teasing, which made Soo Yoon rolled her eyes and pretend to huffed like he offended her.

''Yah!, if I beat you, you won't be alive for the next day'' Soo Yoon replied, crossing her arms over her chest.

''Unnie!!'' Elijah voice implied excitement in it as she made her towards towards Gaon and Soo Yoon.

'' Elijah. how are you? still so pretty.'' Soo Yoon complimented her. Slowly take her hand with kindness and shook it softly.

'' Much better that you are here to see me'' Elijah smiled softly at her.

''Yeah. Gaon-ah told me that you finally leaving for your treatment tomorrow. I am gonna miss hanging out with you.'' Soo Yoon voice sounded a bit sad, Gaon knew she loved hanging out with Elijah.

'' Don't worry! Gaon gave me your number, I will make sure to text you often.'' She smiled. Gaon looked at both of them with adore-ness. Then, His eyes gaze around the living room, there was no sigh of Yohan anywhere.

''Chief.. is in his study?'' He asked to Elijah who nodded at him. When he gets up from the seat he glance at both Elijah and Soo Yoon.

'' I will go and see before we take a leave mhm?'' After saying that he slowly made his way towards the study. Knocking the door twice like he usually do and after few seconds later he slid the door open and he walked inside.

Yohan kept his gaze on his book, but could heard the small steps of Gaon walking towards him.

''Chief..'' Gaon's voice made Yohan lift his gaze from the book at look at him.

'' I wanted to say thank you for letting me stay here and tending my injuries. '' Yohan could send the gentleness in his voice.

Gaon's his hands fidgets with light sweat. He cleared his throat before continuing.

'' and sorry about the um..kiss '' Gaon spoke even though Yohan's gaze was putting him on edge.

Yohan stood up so fast from his chair that it knocked over backwards. Keeping his eyes on Gaon, he could see the way Gaon flinched a bit at the noise of the chair. He notice Gaon taking small steps backwards like he was afraid of Yohan for a moment. Yohan slid his fingers over the wooden desk as he walked to Gaon, standing face to face.

''It was the mistake like you said right.'' Yohan said, slightly tilting his head forward.

''Y-Yeah..'' Gaon voice cracked a bit, hoped Yohan wont notice it. His body tensed when Yohan steps closer in his comfort zone. He was confused about what was happening, especially He was still unsure by the fact that why Yohan kissed him the first place.

''Why did you kiss me..?'' Gaon question made Yohan's eyes flicker a bit between Gaon's face and lands on his lips for a second before looking back at his eyes again.

'' You reminded me of my ex '' Yohan simply spoke with no hint of feelings behind his words. '' It was the mistake I forget you are not her. You are way broken'' Yohan's word sting Gaon's heart, like small needles. He break his eye contact with Yohan, sudden boil of rage exploded in him, He bit his lower lip to restrain himself from saying anything.

He sighs deeply.

' So I was a substitute?'

'' I see. Glad we clear the misunderstanding'' Gaon replied, maintaining his voice as calm as possible.

'when you made love to me. you were thinking of her?'
