Lee Changhyuk was sitting in the dining room all alone. Casually rested his model figure on a chair. His handsome face looked even more stunning as it was not hidden behind the fake beard nor eyeglasses. No one else was there. Shizu went to the convenience store to buy some stuff and for the first time, Lee Changhyuk let her leave without bringing him.
There's no mirth twinkling in those beautiful deep eyes. The air around him was heavy. 2 bottled drinks were on the table; one was soda and the other one was beer. His long fingers were tapping the table, moving from one bottle to another. He was measuring the situation he was currently in. Was it a bad one? Or a very bad one?
He swore to himself that he would only drink Alcohols when he was troubled and in a need to let some steam off. They burnt his throat and made him unable to sing for some time. But here's the good news: he was on holiday hence, he didn't have to sing the next day.
What does it mean to terminate the contract with StarLord Entertainment? He was wondering.
He remembered that he invested in some private mercenary company in Japan. Should he ask them to send some men? But that would attract too much attention.
'Those' people would hunt them like a pig.
StarLord Entertainment was actually a part of the underworld association. They bribed some of high positioned government officials not only with money, but also catering all of their 'needs'. Drugs, prostitution, bribing and blackmailing were just the tip of the iceberg of the awful things they did to top the industry.
GreenEast were sick of getting controlled and threatened. Only when they got so powerful, they dared to challenge StarLord Entertainment.
Hmm.. Before reuniting with his hyungs, no one should know his whereabout. He must keep a very low profile and not use his connections, for the words travel fast. The use of his credit cards should also be limited as those people could track his bank account activities. Okay, how much cash he had left now?
His mind took him to the time when he first arrived in Tokyo to meet the milk girl. He was worrying non stop, afraid that the milk girl would run from him. And now, she had more reasons to run.
All hells broke loose.
The sound of fingers tapping got even louder as he was imagining countless of scenarios on how he would be hunted. He was ready for this, but now he was not too sure.
His phone vibrated, a message notification appeared.
[Silly Kang Yeon: Changhyuk, where are you? I need to see you.]
DazzLing's main vocalist, Kang Yeon, was a good friend of Lee Changhyuk. He wanted to reply but hesitated. Jang Jiseok, the crazy cousin of the CEO and the current manager of DazzLing, might be the one who sent the message.
"Silly Yeon would have called me." He lightly threw the phone on the table then stretched his body.
He felt this tiny object inside of his pocket. So he searched deeply into it and found a necklace with K.A initial. Eversince he picked up this necklace, he always kept it wherever he went as he intended to give it back to the milk girl.
He remembered that day under the blue sky. Where he quietly followed the milk girl for the first time and hid under the tree. He could not brush the image of the milk girl crying all alone, hurting like she lost everything.
What could she lose? Was she crying because of this necklace? At this point, Lee Changhyuk had come to like his new friend a little bit too much, he was willing to give her anything.
The only K.A that came to his mind was Kaguya Aoshi, a renowned Japanese jeweler. A single pendant cost over 10 million yen. It would look really good on her. When he stopped with the hiding, he would get a full set for her.
But this necklace didn't look luxurious at all.
Wait a minute, miruku chan didn't seem like a girl who liked wearing luxurious brands. What if she was offended by the gift? Lee Changhyuk could easily read her, but predicting her was another thing.
'I should probably return this to miruku chan, so that I could ask about this...' He lazily put the necklace back in his pocket.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly bursted into laughter as he realized something. Did he just think of giving a 100 million jewel set to the milk girl? Yes he did and she deserved so much more than a full set of rare diamonds.
He ran his fingers through his hair then he reached the bottle of soda to uncap it. He drank it in one go and had a brainfreeze, so he pinched the bridge of his nose to calm his head.
A promise he made to Son Kangyu came to his mind. He shook his head in confusion and rested his chin on the table like a troubled child, his eyes were fixated on the beer.
"I should have just drunk the beer, I must have gone crazy..."
