I hesitantly knock, hoping that he isn't home. My wishes are ignored when he opens the door, smiling before telling me to enter.

"I have something to give to you, Jaehyun." He raises one eyebrow as I pass him the paper Taeyong gave me. Unfolding it cautiously, his face pales. His watery eyes scan the sketches and then the letter.

"He's gone?" Jaehyun's voice is barely audible "he ran away?" I sadly nod, remembering Taeyong's peaceful eyes as he disintegrated. "You know where he is, don't you?" Grabbing a fistful of my shirt, Jaehyun's eyes change from sadness to anger. I shake my head frantically. "Liar." He releases his hold of me, shoving me slightly. "I know you know where he is and if you don't bring him back to me, there will be consequences."

"He's never coming back, Jaehyun. Why can't you accept that? He's gone. He left you. He doesn't want to come back, ever." Swallowing my fear, I stand up for myself and for Taeyong.

I can imagine Taeyong applauding me for being brave for once, his cold face showing amusement. "This is your fault, Jaehyun."

"Get out." He pushes me again, harder this time. I catch myself on the door frame. "You've been a pain in my ass since I created you." He sighs, raking a hand through his silky hair, "Out of all of the virtual boys, Doyoung had to pick you, didn't he? Why? What do you have that I don't?"

I lower my eyes. The sudden aching in my heart, too much to bear.

"I know something I have that you lack." I look at him curiously "I actually exist."
