After the conversation, Sia left, devising Dongin succumbed and worried, His assistant entered the cabin and questioned, "Mrs. Sia left her purse here, should I go give it to her?" He signed and said, "M-mom, she's my mom, don't call her by name."

Dongin was wondering why his mother was never happy about anything he does, After a while, he ordered the secretary to bring him a cup of coffee. He stayed still and didn't move an inch, due to too many thoughts and trouble, He sipped the hot coffee, and questioned the secretary, "I need to take a break today, can you clear all my schedules?" She nodded and replied questioning, "But, sir today you have your Cosmetic store Inauguration, you have been wanting to do that for so long, Should I cancel that?" He then replied, still zoned out, "yeah, yeah, let that stay, I'll go meet Mr.Joseph, I need to take a break. After I come back to the office, let's see if we can go."

Dongin, then left his cabin to go meet his only trusted friend, Joseph. He is the Manager of his co-group and holds a huge place in their company. He helped Dongin multiple times, while, he was in economic crisis, Dongin always tried to pay him back, but Joseph doesn't let him, as Joseph has a high-class background and doesn't need any of his help. He also helped Dongin to get him out of those scandals and false accuses. Being Idol was the toughest job according to Joseph. He always let Dongin know that he was helping him only because of his Occupation and tight schedules.

He entered the hallway, where Joseph was convening and chatting with his clients. Dongin bowed, when Joseph turned to his left, to see him, He mouthed saying, "give me a minute." he nodded as a reply. Soon joseph came smiling towards Dongin, they hugged each other warmly as Joseph spoke, "missed me?" Dongin started, "I'm so stressed." since Joseph was a good listener, he gave all his ears sitting on the sofa, he nodded as Dongin continued, "Sia came to meet me, she gave me a warning to not date anyone because of my reputation, and as you know, once I fall for someone or something it becomes hard to let go. She even tried to kidnap Macy, my girlfriend, We have known her for ages and she never changed."

Joseph spoke lighting his cigar, "The only thing we can do is not minding her, the last time she gave you a warning was when you were at the core of losing your job due to your scandals, I think it is time to get rid of the people you are scared of." Dongin questioned, "but, how?" Joseph responded, "Open up, tell her everything, let's not have the thought she will not listen to you or she won't accept you. Just tell her the truth." Dongin got uneasy and replied, "I can't, she would be back of me again, I just cant." Joseph got up and said with a sarcastic smile, "You should, well, now I gotta go."

Dongin got back to his office after Joseph left, he sat thinking what to do, he then went to his closet to take out his favorite instrument in the world, Guitar, He took out his guitar and, sat on the couch playing random notes, Just then he quickly stood up to get his lyric book. He opened the book and started writing whatever came to his mind. He smiled remembering Macy, he stayed up to write his rap lyrics, even though he was a rapper, he loved to do the vocals, that's the reason he learned vocals in Russia. He then softly spoke to himself, trying to face his fear he hid for 24 years, "I can tell her the truth." He smiled as he received a message from Macy. "Im planning to learn Korean, what do you think?"

He replied, putting the guitar away, "great, but don't work too hard" she smiled behind the screen, and replied, "I should call you namchin? does it mean boyfriend? am I right?" he laughed and replied, "yeah, it is good to see you learning Korean" Dongin's secretary then entered his cabin saying, "sir, we have only an hour left for the inauguration, please get ready." He nodded, and, she left. He texted Macy, "I am going to My Cosmetic store inauguration, wish you were here." Macy replied frowning, "It's okay, I just wish everything goes well :)" He then went to his dressing room to get quick. He wore a black suit with polished shoes with heels on the bottom, and perfectly slicked hair, looking unimaginably handsome, he clicked a picture and put it on his social media handle. Captioning it, "Dongin said No Toxic Masculinity! Going to open a cosmetic store soon! be ready to sell out!!"

His fandom freaked out looking at his outfit and his caption, he started to trend in all the apps, as soon as he posted. Macy texted, "gosh, look at you!" He smiled and replied, "yes, yes." He then left the cabin to go to his inauguration. He cut the ribbon as everyone wooed him, he was happy and satisfied with his new opening. He then went to give his opening speech, he started to give his speech, by saying, "First of all, thank you for supporting this new start of mine, I worked so hard for the store and the cosmetics, I think you guys will love the new project. Probably, many people would be wondering, why an Idol-like me has opened a Cosmetic store, right? That's the only reason I opened the store, to break all those institutions and mindsets, and also I named it after the first song that I never released, "title". I wrote that song when I was about 10 years, know nothing about music and just random words, I always loved that song of mine, which will probably be my very own personal views about people, and the world. Coming to the products and cosmetics here, They are not animal-based, and obviously, they are all-natural colors and chemicals. Hoping that you will love it. Title your face, title yourself." All cheered as he got down from the stage after the speech.

Later that day, he reached his dorm, he was tired and exhausted from work, he then texted Macy, "Done for the day, so happy and satisfied :)" He then turned off his phone, knowing Macy would have been busy. The next morning, he woke up with 4 missed calls from Macy. He replied to her in a text message, "sorry, just woke up." He then left for his office, as he had so much work to do, because, he didn't attend any schedule the day before. His secretary questioned, as he went to his cabin, "Sir, Mrs. Sia is back at the office. she wants to meet you. should I let her in?" He nodded bewildered. She entered, putting her fancy hat away on his couch, she came in, He stood up saying, "please sit." She sat politely nodding, He started, "Sia, I-I need to tell you something." She agreed and replied, "So, today you're the one starting the conversation, Interesting." She was carefully listening to him, trying not to judge or over-react, He continued, "This is about that day when dad was murdered." She looked into his eyes, Her face was filled with vex and fear.
