Work, daily routine has been the same for the next few days. Another day came, a business deal is sealed, and now is time to go home!

"Welcome home, sir. Your suit is cleaned and is in the closet. Your dinner is ready on the kitchen table. Leave the dishes in the sink, and I'll wash it tomorrow, the first thing in the morning. The rooms are all cleaned. I've asked the electrician to change the broken lights in the guest's bathroom. I've dismissed Jungha for the evening since there isn't much to do. That is all, sir." My head housekeeper said. Jungha is a younger housekeeper, helping Mrs. Yoon.

"Noted. The receipt?"

"I placed it on the desks in the study." I nodded.

"Thank you, Mrs. Yoon. You may go home. Your husband is waiting for you. Have a good night." I smiled towards her.

Smilling, she then headed off to then kitchen to get her bags, before disappearing through the main door.

Hurrying myself to the room, plugging my phone to the audio system, I head into the bathroom. I turned on the tap filling up the tub with warm water. Getting a glass of wine, Destiny Overruled! , I placed both the glass and the book on the shelf next to the tub. Stripping out of my suit, I placed it in the laundry basket nearby the door, and entered the tub.

What a way to spend the night! Sipping a glass of wine, read a mystery- thriller book, while soothing my muscles in the warm water tub, overlooking the city after a long stressful day!

Sweats

Panting

Grunting

I woke up jerking, my hands clutching the blanket. The same dream all over again! it's been a month since I last dreamt about it.

The girl. Kerria H.

Who is she? I remember, I was sweating and panting due to running. Running towards the girl silhouette. Grunting, angry at myself for not noticing the girl, for not being able to catch the girl. The only thing I found on the floor was a ring, with a 'K' initial.

The ring, I kept until today, on my pinky finger. The ring which I often twirl occasionally. The ring, which Yoongi caught me twirling, whenever I am thinking.

My eyes are then squinted towards the clock on the wall showing six in the morning. Unable to sleep, I've decided to wake up, freshen up and change my boxer briefs to sweatpants and tank tops. I greeted Mrs Yoon and went down to the gym club. I've decided to do some workout to start off the day.

Preparing myself to work, after having a hearty breakfast prepared by my housekeeper, I went to my study to get some work files. While picking up the files on the table, I saw the dry cleaning receipt. I immediately open the first drawer to search for the paper. I made a mental note to myself to call her for the reimbursement later.

I was sitting in the car, on the way to the office, scrolling through my phone for email, while my other hand is kept inside the pants' pocket.

The paper! Again!

Angry at myself for being forgetful, I immediately take a look at the paper.

Lynnia Taylor

I dialed the phone number written in the green coloured paper, setting up the meeting at the same bookstore cafe. Shoving off the paper in the pocket, I was informed by Mr. Yoon, that we have arrived the office entrance.

Off to work!
