You immediately left the office, took your car and drove back to Seven's apartment. You didn't care about the dangers of meeting him so suddenly, you just needed to get this over with, now.

You walked up to his door and knocked, loudly.

Saeyoung already had an idea of who would be at the door and didn't even bother with the security system. He hesitantly walked over to the door and slowly opened it. He peeked through only to see you with your arms crossed, fuming.

"Y/n look-"

"Why didn't you tell me you were investigating." You asked straightforwardly.

"I did! I told you that I would look for who did this-"

"Legally." You finished what should be his sentence. He then shut up knowing that was true. You sighed and walked inside, not wanting to talk about this outside. Saeyoung moved aside for you to enter. "Saeyoung, I thought you were done using those kinds of methods." You calmed down slightly and closed the door behind you as you walked over to him.

"I know, but Jumin really wanted the information and I just couldn't leave him hanging. He needed my help."

"Okay, then why didn't you tell me you were going to hack into the systems to get the information?" You crossed your arms over your chest.

"Because what would that help with? Either way, I would get the information." He tried to justify. You gritted your teeth.

"What would that help with? Oh, I don't know, so I can be more cautious since there's a crazy lady out to get me and my friends?!" You couldn't help but yell, it was the same thing over and over again that would fuck everything over.

Trust.

"I told you that you don't have to worry about that! The whole reason you're living with Saeran is so that Rika doesn't suspect you know about her!" He tried to explain you simply pinched the bridge of your nose. "You know I get that you're worried about all the shit that's been going on but when are you going to understand that most of the things I do are so that you stay safe!" He yelled, feeling his anger rise.

"Because we said we would get through this together!" You shouted back. "Every time something like this happens I feel like I'm the last to know and it feels like you don't trust me with the important things that go on!"

Another pointless fight.

"You shouldn't have to worry about these kinds of things, this is my burden to carry, not yours!" You walked over to him, about to give him a good slap but restricted yourself knowing that wouldn't help in anything.

"When will you get it through your head that because you mean so much to me that I'm willing to put my life on the line and carry that burden with you. The moment I answered that message two years ago was the moment I decided to get involved with everything."

"And when will you get it through your thick skull that we can't take this lightly. Need I remind you that you've been shot before??"

"So what now? You're gonna say that I'm better off without you?" You waited for a reply. You felt your heart drop. It was the same thing every damn time. You sighed feeling tears start to form.

"Fine, if you want me to leave you so badly then fine." You stomped over towards the door. Saeyoung eyes went wide. 

Did he hear you right?

You swung the door open and started making your way to your car.

"Y/n, what are you doing?" He asked grabbing your wrist, preventing you from leaving. You yanked your hand out of his grip and kept walking back to your car.

"What does it look like? I'm leaving you." You said bluntly. Saeyoung felt his blood run cold.

"You're not serious are you?" You opened the car door and Saeyoung stopped you from closing it.

"What do you think?" You glared at him and shoved his hand off but he was quick to stop you once more.

"Don't do this Y/n, where would you even go?" He was a lot calmer this time as he spoke.

"Somewhere not even you can find me."

"Come on, let's talk things out."

"Why? So you can say that you'll trust me? That you'll tell me everything?" You pushed his arm out of the way for the last time. "It's the same story repeating itself." You had the window down and slowly brought it back up. "I'm just doing what you've told me so many times before."

"Co-Come on Y/n, this is ridiculous! We don't have to do this."

"I'm sorry." You turned to look at him. "I'm not supposed to talk to strangers." You then started the car, the knot in your throat hurting more and more. "Don't you even dare try to follow me." were your last words as you drove off.

As you kept driving you knew that what you're doing was a bit drastic but what else could you do?

Okay, maybe there were plenty of other options but this seems like a good one at the moment.

You focused on the road ahead and got back to your apartment.

"Hey Y/n, I was just about to start making lunch."

"Only prepare some for yourself." You said as you walked into your room to get a suitcase.

"Y/n?" He asked seeing you tense, he followed you to your room and stood at the doorway. "What's going on?"

"Ask your stupid brother." You spat as you angrily packed anything you could find at hand. But before he could ask any more questions you shoved pass him with your luggage at hand.

"I'm heading over to a friends house, for now, I'm not going to tell you where for now, I'm sorry you had to get involved too." You sighed and left without another word, leaving Saeran pissed at how things have escalated. You tossed your baggage in the back seat and continued your way to your new destination.

You finally arrived and knocked on the door. "What a wonderful surprise." She said with a lollipop in her mouth.

"Looks like I'll be hanging out with you sooner than later." You half smiled.

"Come on in. And tell me all about it."

-

"And that's how I ended up here." You shrugged. The two of you had just gotten out of bed the next morning and you just finished explaining what had happened up to now.

"That BITCH!" Celest got up from her seat and even tossed her lollipop in the trash as she rolled up her sleeves ready to fight.

"Woah woah woah there Celest, there's no need to be so.." You pulled her sleeves back down. "aggressive."

"But he let this happen today of all days!" She threw her arms in the air in frustration.

"Today? What are you talking about?" She turned to look back at you surprised and quickly got out her calendar.

"Valentine's day!!!" She shoved the calendar in your face for emphasis. You raised your eyebrows and took it in your hands.

"Oh..."

"Yeah, OH." Celest sighed and took out a snack from her desk drawer. "Want some?" She offered.

"Sure, and where does all of that food go?!"

"That's a secret! I may be small but I sure as hell have a big appetite!" She laughed and sat in her rolling chair. "You know what you need?"

"You to eat healthier?"

"Yes, but that's not happening anytime soon. I mean you need a day of relaxation!" She hopped into her gamer chair and started looking something up on her computer. You got curious and walked over to her and looked over her shoulder.

"Spa day?" You asked seeing all the tabs that were already open with different spa places.

"Exactly!" She beamed liking the idea of finally taking a break.

"I don't know Celest-"

"No, you don't have a say in this! We're going!" You rolled your eyes playfully. "Oh, this sale packet is for 4 people." She turned to look at you. "Do you know anyone in need of a good relaxation day? The more the merrier!" You thought about it for a while and the first person that came to your mind was.

"Jaehee! I'll call her up now! And why don't you invite Min?" You asked while dialing her number.

"I don't think she can hang out this time, I think she's busy with...everything."

"Oh, that's too bad" You pouted.

"Hello?" You heard Jaehee answer on the other line.

"Jaehee! Hey, are you busy today?" You got right to it.

"Sort of, why?"

"Cause Celest has this package deal for four people to go to the spa and-"

"YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES!" You had to back away the phone from your ear hearing her so excited.

"Hahaha okay okay, I'll send you the place and time in a few minutes, do you know anyone else that wants and needs a spa day?" You asked just in case.

"Oh, I know exactly who needs this."

-

"Oh, I can't wait for the body wrap. I'm going to glow, fam!" You gleamed, just the thought of being pampered for the day got you excited.

"I really need a hot stone massage a.s.a.p." Jaehee added. Knowing her schedule, you knew she needed this as much as you.

Celest shakes her head with a smile crawling to her face "Ladies, we haven't even entered the place and you're already daydreaming." Celest checks online to make sure all the facilities she reserved are ready.

"What are we waiting for?" Jaehee asked, just by looking at her, you can see that she really wanted to get inside and have herself some well deserved 'R and R'

This is what all you needed. With Jumin's latest outburst and your recent fight, still fresh in your mind, Jaehee managing and keeping an eye on her coffee shop and Jumin's business and Celest with her practice and work. Yeah, you all needed this.

"So who did you invite Jaehee?" You asked curiously as to why your friend was so secretive today.

"Oh! He's already inside!" She cheered.

He? Don't tell me...

You walk in the nice establishment with them, just to find this familiar man at the counter waving you over. You couldn't help but let out a goofy smile seeing him there.

Should have known it would be Zen.

"There's my favorite girl!" You laughed and ran over to him and gave him a hug.

"I'm glad to see you too, Zen!" You beamed while he ruffled your hair like a brother would do to his sibling.

"By the way, I just upgraded us to the special supreme treatment. The works!"

Zen,

now Zen looked like a kid waiting for his parents to take him to buy some new toys. One look at him and anyone could tell this is one of his prime elements. The sight made you giggle, but you were glad to be in the presence of an expert, who will help you maneuver around the trenches of this rather pricey kind of heaven.

"Hello everyone, please come this way." A nice looking lady said catching the attention of the four of you.

You were already bouncing up and down from the excitement until Celest placed a hand on your shoulder.

"Y/n, chill, we're here to chill~~~" She dragged her sentence for emphasis.

"First up, manicures." Said the nice lady that you just noticed is named Mary. This was just the beginning of such a wonderful day. You all sat on the fluffy comfy chairs and instantly felt like royalty. The women there were at your beck and call. 

After getting your hands treated, next was your hair. And you fiNALLY SEE ZEN WITH HIS HAIR DOWN!

This just kept getting better and better.

As the four of you continue having such a splendid day in the heavens, last but certainly not least was the soothing bath.

"Can I just die here?" Asked Jaehee as she let her boy soak in the warm waters.

"Same." Was all you said as you relished in the soothing waters. 

"We earned this." Added Zen. He had his head laid back on his pillow with cucumber slices on his eyes.

"You said it my white-haired friend." Celest chuckled. You loved how the spa facility even offered special bathing suits for you all so you can enjoy this moment together,

"Mam." Mary came by with your cellphone at hand. "It seems you've been receiving a lot of phone calls, it might be urgent." You wiped your hands with a nearby towel and took your phone.

"Thank you." You said with a smile and unlocked your phone. 

Of course, it's saeyoung.

"Is it him?" Celest took off the strawberry slices off of her eyes. You looked back at your phone.

"I have a bunch of missed calls from him but only one message. 

"What did he say?"

"I'm sorry, Happy valentines day."

-

Meanwhile...

Saeyoung put away his phone and walked down the familiar white halls. He spoke to the young lady at the front desk and as before she let him in.

There he stood, in front of the man he used to call his best friend.

"Problem?" V was the first to talk. He was sitting down on his bed staring blankly at Saeyoung.

"How do I catch her?" His tone was stern and straightforward. V let out a short laugh.

"Couldn't 'handle things on your own'?" He had a small smile on his face.

"Tell me." He ordered making V raise an eyebrow.

"I'm surprised you let it go on for so long, I'm not sure there's much you can do now."

"I'm doing everything I can, but-"

"But?" Saeyoung was clearly annoyed by what this had come to. His grip tightened at his side.

"I need your help." He sighed.

"That's rich coming from you. What? Only when Y/n's in trouble do you come for help?" This caught Saeyoungs attention and he took a step closer to the bars that separated them.

"How do you know she's in trouble?" He asked cautiously.

"You want answers? I need something in return." He said bluntly.

"You don't have a say in this. You're gonna be in here for quite some time V, don't want me to make it longer by exposing other things you've done in the past." Saeyoung smirked feeling better that he had the upper hand in something. V chuckled.

"Always prepared aren't you?" V started standing up and walked over to the bars.

"Y/n's right were Rika wants her to be." He smiled.

"And how do you know this?" He dared to ask.

"Sadly, Rika likes to come and visit me and tell me some things out of spite and let's just say, she knew that at some point your would come to me." Saeyoung's heart started to beat fasted as the seconds passed.

She planned this far?

"Y/n's still working for Jumin right?" Saeyoung nodded. "And this company has alliances, am I correct?"

"Just spit it out." Saeyoung was clearly impatient, V found this amusing.

"Y/n has a brother! Luka, right? He's a hard worker for Luteus, I can tell." He started walking back to his bed and took a seat, loving how irritated Saeyoung was getting.

"Although," He continued. He really should investigate more about who the original owner of the company is. Rika would be so disappointed if her family company started failing." Saeyoung's eyes went wide.

"She's in charge of-"

"A puppet master always has some extra strings, right?" Saeyoung could feel his heart pound against his ribs. "You should keep a closer eye on your girlfriend. Don't want her getting into any kind of trouble like Jumin right?" Saeyoung slammed his hand against the bar door.

"You still haven't told me how to catch her!" He shouted. The guard suddenly opened the door, startling Saeyoung.

"Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave, we can't have you riling up the patient." He instructed. Saeyoung clicked his tongue in annoyance but listened to the large man nonetheless.

"I'll be waiting for your next visit, Luciel." V called out as Saeyoung left.

There's still too much we don't know about her.
