"Is this what you call work?! Then you prefer to eat someone's leftovers. I do not share the same page as any of you. Redo everything! You have another chance to redeem yourself in four hours!——Meeting adjourned!"

Everyone got frozen at their seats, no one dared to utter a word. Until Hong Shi left the conference room and went straight into his office.

Do not ever question him. If you value your life. That's the unsaid rule.

"Again. All of your employees look like hungry killers. I'm afraid for your life my friend. "

"What do you want?" His ice velvety cold voice asked. Not even bothering to look at intruder.

"Is that how you welcome your best friend, Hong Sei Shi. " Kei Kanari said with victorious smile as the silver ash haired man finally stopped typing to his laptop.

"Shut up Kei. "

"My bad. Stop glaring at me. I don't want to die." The ravenette teasingly raised his hand, waving it lightly, he sat on the couch in another side.

Hong Sei Shi go back to his laptop but reminding himself of punishing the other man later. For saying his whole name like that and entering when his mood isn't not in good platter.

The people around him called him, Devil, Demon, Spawn of Satan, The Bringer of Death, or even Monster in Human Clothing, but he doesn't care. As long this Company would stay to prosper and be on its right place, to the top!

Where everyone would admire it and at the same time envious of it. That's what he wants. Although, it already happening in past seven years.

"Neh..Shi.." Kei began. Trying to get his attention, but he stay still, focused on the screen. " You became harsh, I mean your so called cruelty in work are becoming too much."

That stopped him.

Their eyes meet. Silently talking to each other.

"Look, you need a vacation. We need a break from all of this. For goodness sake we're eighteen years old!"

Before Sei Shi could speak, his phone ring, announcing someone's calling.

"Yes, Grandpa."

"Don't 'Yes Grandpa' me! Do you know why I called. Asahi-san reports for  today's meeting is detailed as ever. I do not like what happened. You damn grandson of mine became so cruel!.."
He wondered why everyone likes to call him cruel. When he's doing what is right. 

"I just did—"

"You did what?! Break our poor board members spirits. As far I remembered the secretary you hired five days ago resigned yesterday. What's wrong to you Seishi? " He wanted to rolled his eyes at his grandfather whining. The secretary he had is too flirty and not capable to be one. So clumsy!

"Nothing. I'm completely fine, speak of mentally or physically. Everything's well Granpa, so please do not worry."
He heard the older man sighed tiredly then starting to speak again. Which he regretted to hear more.

"Come back to Japan..." As if his world stopped moving. "It's time to go back, and live with him. Your aunt would handle the company there. "

"No." He firmly said.

"It's not a request. It's an order from me." Of course the old man would resort to that. No one defy him.

He's perfect.

"Grandpa you know why—"

"That's why." Why this person like to interrupt him.

"It's already seven years. You're like a robot forgetting you still have life outside of your work..." Is that true?

"I'll let you handle the company there. But, you're gonna go back in studying outside and live with him. " He got no choice now or else...

"Think this calling a favor from your wish."

That's right. His wished seven years ago.

"Fine. " The word feel bittersweet to his tongue as he continued. "I'll book a flight tonight."

"Good. That's my grandson!" The joy in his grandfather voice is worth it.
Perhaps, going back isn't bad.

He could handle this.

After all, he's beyond perfection.

" I'll come with you." Sei Shi forgot Kei is still inside of the office. Now, with a smirks playing in his lips and pair of eyes beaming to his words.

"You planned this."

"Sharp as ever my friend." Hearing that, out from nowhere, a bread knife flew to Kei's direction. Slicing his left cheek a little. It's good the man move out of instinct.

"What the! Shi why did you do that!" Kei frowned yet his lips are smiling.

"My hand slipped." Sei Shi replied not looking, instead watching the blue sky  outside of his window. The scenery is always beautiful, he like this color as it's reminding him of someone.

A person with pair of eyes and hair locks that resembles the blue ocean.

Sei Shi opened his email inbox, the one account he don't use anymore. It only have one name listed, that still unread. The message was received seven years ago.

From him. From his....

==============================

From: Hong-Kuroko Tetsuya.

Subject: Time.

" I'll be waiting for you Shi-kun."

==============================

Sei Shi lips curved onto a bittersweet smile. While his pair of red and silver eyes never leave the screen.

To go back, to go home, perhaps it's not bad decision.

So, he could be with him. One more time.
