Standing in the balcony of his room, he rested one of his hands on the railing and took a sip of coffee from the cup he was holding in the other hand. The pink shine of the rising sun was peeking from behind the fluffy clouds. It was not eight in the morning yet, but he was awake. Still wearing pajamas, he stood and watched the hustle bustle of the city, older people out for their work and children out for their schools. The unclear sound of vehicles' horns and people's noise hardly reached to the 36th floor of that 50-storey hotel.

Nothing changed, everything was the same, just like old times. The building, the people, the rush, the noises, the timings of the duties_ everything was the same.

If anything was changed, it was him. He had changed from head to toe, from heart to soul_ he had totally changed. His batty and wild nature was lost ten years ago. His interest in everything had died the very moment he stepped out of this land. His heart started hating beating since he left her to fight herself with that agony.

*Would have she also been changed??*

He thought, staring into an invisible point. Someone scoffed inside himself..

*Of course Min Yoongi! Ten years is not an ordinary thing. Ten years turn a child into an adult and young into old. In ten years, everything could be made and anything could be destroyed.*

Just like himself. Those ten years built him as a strong man with an amazing personality whom, whoever met, couldn't help but admire his abilities, but those ten years also destroyed him_ and turned him into ashes from inside.

Exhaling an exhausted sigh, he returned inside his suite to get ready for his meeting with his first client. Today was his second day at Seoul as he arrived here yesterday by the afternoon flight.

He put the coffee mug on the side table and picked his three piece pitch black suit from the bed, and headed towards the bathroom to change.

_*_*_

"Don't you think the separation case is risky for you??"
Sitting opposite to Yoongi in a corner table of a café, Namjoon asked him and took a sip from his cup of tea.

Yoongi gave him a puzzled look and hiking his brow a little he spoke up..

"In what way??"

Namjoon put the cup of tea on the table and sitting straight he said...

"Look, taking such a big case at the very beginning of your career is not free of danger. If, you lose, your career will doom before rising."

Yoongi watched his worried friend with a smile never leaving his face. He watched him worrying for him at the aspects he had thought about already. He knew that choosing the divorce case was very risky to him. He knew anything could happen.

"You could have also said that if I win, my first case would be enough to build my entire career.."
He replied, looking at him and sipping tea from his cup.

And Namjoon leaned forward a little as if he was going to tell him a secret. Keeping his voice as low as possible, he said...

"I know, but it's the daughter of our mayor...and her husband is the son of a senator. You can imagine what could..."

"Relax, I got it."
Yoongi snapped in the middle of his sentence.

"I met the lady and we have looked upon each and every aspect. I'll handle it."
He tried to assure him. Namjoon bit his bottom lip in confusion and said...

"All I want is your safety and wish for your good luck buddy.." A pure friendly smile appeared on his face and Yoongi couldn't help but return him the same smile and he replied...

"I'll try to make you proud.."

"I'm sure you will." Said Namjoon because he knew his best friend was able to do it. He turned his wrist to see the time on the watch and ejaculated..

"Oh shit! Buddy, lunch's over. I gotta go back to office.." And he got up hurriedly from his chair.

And Yoongi's heart once again wished to ask him about Y/N as he knew she worked at the same office Namjoon did. But he squelched it inside his heart for a thousandth time. He couldn't word his wish. Maybe he had lost his right even ask about her. He watched Namjoon standing up to go, without speaking a single word.

And at the other side. Namjoon was surprised why Yoongi didn't mention Y/N during the thirty minutes meeting. He knew Y/N used to be in his every statement and every thought. Then why not now?? Maybe the silent affair of their love was over!? Because since he started doing job in the office with her, he never heard her even mentioning his name. She never spoke about him, never.

He shrugged away the thoughts and forwarded his hand to shake.

"See you after office, hyung.." The ditch on his cheek deepened as he passed him a beautiful smile.

Yoongi, being pulled out of his mind-destroying thoughts, smiled back...

"Sure.." He said, shaking hands firmly with Namjoon.

Namjoon turned to go and Yoongi took the cup of tea to finish the last sips in one go.

But what Namjoon saw and Yoongi heard next, only froze them on the spot.

"Here you are! I've been looking for you at the whole office..."

This voice_ he could recognize this voice in a million voices! He could recognize this voice after a million years!

His world went still when he heard the sound of footsteps. And his heart stopped beating when he saw her coming towards Namjoon. And, when their eyes met....
