Villa Suite, Lotte Hotel, Jeju Island

Boom! Crack! Thud!

A smoke bomb. Crackling of metal chains. A body falling down the floor.

"Hahaha! Got you Kwon Yuri!" Jessica shouted in victory as she pulled the metal chain tighter and closer towards her.

"Okay. Okay. You win! Now let me go." Yuri squirmed while she tried to untangled her ankle from the metal chain that gripped her.

After Jessica threw the smoke bomb in the hallway, Yuri felt dizzy. Before she could blink an eye, the sound of clanking metal was heard. Bam! Jessica caught Yuri's ankle with the metal bar which God knows only how and where Jessica acquired.

"Hey you two! Inside the room, now!" Sunny barked, interrupting the two fighting girls in the hallway as she walked inside the room with a flash drive dangling from her hand.

Sunny walked inside the room and went directly to the tv set and inserted the flash drive. The F(X) girls eyed her suspiciously.

"Everyone! Please gather around, Boss sent us something." Sunny announced as all the girls, Secretary Choi, Tiffany's team, Taeyeon's team and even the wedding planners all huddled in front of the tv set.

"Sunny? Are we going to watch something?" Yuri asked worriedly.

"Yes. The Exo Team are going back to Seoul now, they left us with this. Told me that Boss wants us to watch this. Those boys won't even tell me why they're here. They took off with Boss' helicopter." Sunny explained as she clicked the play button.

All eyes were glued on the television screen. Everyone was anticipating, anxiously waiting, nervously watching. The F(X) girls just stood there looking at their Unnies' expressions knowing what the video would be.

Crrrkkk. Shhhh. Shhhhh. White noise. Taeyeon's flustered face was suddenly shown.

"Hey... Am I live? Am I live? Do I look pretty? Oh. It's rolling... Oh hi... Hehehe. Hello to the girls watching this... Yeah, that's right. This is me, your Boss... Chairman Kim Taeyeon of the Kim Financial Group... Cute... Sexy... And screwed up... Wahuhuhu..."

Crrrrkkkk. Shhhhhh. White noise. Taeyeon's teary eyed face surfaced again.

"I'm sorry... I don't know what's happening to me... And it's really scaring me... I feel like I'm changing. Oh god... I miss racing. I miss my baby Ducatti...

Crrrrrkkkk. Shhhhh. Shhh. White noise. Taeyeon's serious face can be seen.

"I got carried away. Whew. Now. To Sunny, Yuri and Hyoyeon... You've been with me since forever. I know I've been hard on you for the past years. Well. I'm sorry. Ooops. Not sorry. Okay... I'm sorry... You know me. I don't express myself freely when it comes to things like this. I get mad easily. I get frustrated easily. But you've always been so patient of me. Thank you. To Secretary Choi, you've been Appa's secretary for years now. I'm sorry if I take the things you do for granted. But don't worry. I've heard Appa wants to promote you. Hehe. To Tiffany's team. I still haven't forgotten how you shoved me down a food cart. So that makes us even. Okay. I'm sorry too. Okay... This is getting boring for me... I just want to apologize for shouting at you earlier... To compensate, I'm going to give you each a bonus... Okay... Turn this off now Victoria! Gimme my dri-"

Toooooooooooooooooottt. The video was then cut off. The screen went blank.

Sniff. Sniff. Sniff.

The girls were left teary eyed after watching the video.

"Boss..." Sunny wiped her tears.

"Thanked us..." Yuri continued Sunny's sentence.

"Appreciates us..." Hyoyeon added.

"Apologized to us...Huhuhuhu." The trio cried with tears of joy in unison.

"My promotion..." Secretary Choi was choking on her tears.

"Bonus! Caching, Caching!" Tiffany's team just giggled endlessly.

"I hope Chairman Kim shouts at us again, then she'll apologize to us, then she'll give us rewards... She's the best ever!" Seohyun stood up and clapped her hands.

"But wait a minute... Ehem. Victoria? Care to explain how Boss mentioned you in the video?" Sunny asked. All eyes are now on Victoria.

The F(X) girls looked at each other with a knowing looking.

Flashback. The day before.

"I think I need a drink..." The F(X) girls heard Taeyeon's sad voice as she slumped on the living room couch of the suite.

"Uhm... Chairman Kim? Are you okay?" Sulli asked the depressed looking Taeyeon.

"..." Taeyeon just shook her head and hugged her knees.

The F(X) girls gathered around her with a worried look.

"Tiffany walked out on me... I... It was my fault... I think I need a drink... Please..." Taeyeon looked at the girls in front of her and gave them her sad puppy eyes.

"Aaaw... Uhm... You need water?" Amber nervously responded.

"No...Aish... Never mind. I'm just gonna go out and get some fresh air..." Taeyeon stood up and started walking towards the door. But the F(X) girls caught sight of Taeyeon's sad look. She looked like she a kid who was about to cry.

Amber ran towards the fridge and grabbed an unopened bottle of champagne.

"Chairman! Wait... here." Amber stopped Taeyeon and handed her the bottle.

"Amber!" Victoria hissed.

"What?" Amber mouthed.

Victoria acted as if she was about to slice her neck. Trying to get the message to Amber to stop Taeyeon from drinking.

Pop.

The champagne bottle opened with a loud pop as the F(X) girls watched Taeyeon walk back towards the couch while chugging the champagne bottle as if it was just bottled water.

"Uh-oh." Luna sighed disapprovingly.

Knock. Knock.

Amber walked over towards the door to check who it was.

"Tiffany?" Taeyeon craned her neck to check if it was Tiffany returning to get her.

"Room service." A hotel staff walked in carrying a food cart with coffees on it.

"Uhm... Thanks." Victoria said, remembering that she called for the room service earlier to order coffee for the drunken girls, who were now all snoring in their beds.

"Oh... It's not Tiffany." Taeyeon sighed and pouted. She chugged on the champagne bottle again.

"What are we going to do with all these coffee?" Victoria asked her teammates.

"Let's just drink them anyway." Sulli suggested as she took a mug and poured in the freshly brewed coffee. The girls followed suit.

"Anyway, Chairman Kim, what happened? Where's Miss Tiffany?" Victoria asked.

"We had a fight, I think... I accidentally vented out my anger on her... I mean, I was so mad at them for drinking... Don't you think it's bad for them for drinking while working? So... Huhuhu... Tiffany scolded me for shouting at them... And I blurted out words that obviously offended her... She walked out... Oh... I'm so sad..." Taeyeon narrated while clutching the champagne bottle to her chest.

"Ohhh..." The girls gulped on their coffees while listening to her.

"My team knows how mad I am when they disappoint me... It's just how I am... But Tiffany thinks that's not good... I mean, they're my team... So why should she care how I handle them? Oh... And my favourite color is blue... Hehehe." Taeyeon told them while she eagerly sipped on her bottle.

"Uhmm... Maybe what's okay for you is not okay for Miss Tiffany..." Luna offered her theory, ignoring Taeyeon's last sentence.

"How should I know that? I've been that way to my team... And... And she told me to talk to her only when I'm ready to listen to other people's opinions. Why should I?" Taeyeon said.

"Why shouldn't you listen to Miss Tiffany then? You're both going to get married. In the long run both of you will have different opinions when it comes to certain things." Victoria stated as a matter of fact.

"But... But... Ahh. This is what I've been scared about marriage. I think it changes people. Change... Change... Pffft." Taeyeon sulked.

"Uhm... The way I see it, Miss Tiffany was just trying to change you for the better..." Krystal gently stated.

"Shouldn't she just accept me for who I am? My dookongs accept me for who I am." Taeyeon asked back.

"Then... Who are you exactly Chairman? And who's dookong?" Krystal asked her back with a confused expression.

"I... I don't know. Ever since Tiffany came to my life... All this love and marriage thing... I don't know anymore. I'm not even sure if I really know her... She even told me that she met her first love again earlier, which was why she went missing. Sometimes I think I know her, sometimes I don't..." Taeyeon sadly shared to the 5 listening girls.

"This coffee is really good- oh. Sorry. Well, Chairman... Both of you are getting married sooner. Don't you think that problems like those should have been addressed earlier, I mean.. Before both of you decided to get married?" Amber said while pouring another round of coffee.

"But... Our marriage was just arranged... I think we both fell in love after we were arranged. I mean... How am I supposed to know these? Am I making sense here? I am, am I? Right?" Taeyeon bugged them.

"You mean both of you skipped the part where you go on dates, you courting her and get to know each other first?" Sulli asked.

"Uhh. Yes? Dating and courtship... Is that even important? Isn't it that water is important? Water makes up 80% of the Earth's whatever." Taeyeon asked them.

"YES! Dating and courtship is important! Okay. And water too." The 5 girls agreed furiously, shouting their answer.

"Okay. Okay. No need to shout... Oh wait... Wow... That's how it felt like to be shouted at... Hehehe. No wonder why Tiffany scolded me... Oh well... Mmmm... I love you bottle...Hehehehe..." Taeyeon mumbled while she hugged her champagne bottle before taking in another big gulp.

"So Chairman Kim... How do you plan to apologize to Miss Tiffany?" Krystal asked Taeyeon who was now fidgeting restlessly on her seat while pretending to kiss her bottle.

"Apologize? Me? Noooo! Oh yes. I am Chairman Kim right? Oh okay." Taeyeon looked shocked with the suggestion.

"What? You should-" Krystal was about to argue when Taeyeon cut her off.

"Kidding. I will apologize to her. But I guess I have to apologize to those brats first... Hehehe. Get me a video camera. Now." Taeyeon ordered the F(X) girls as she clung to her bottle as if her life depended on it.

End of Flashback.

"So, that's it?!" Secretary Choi asked.

"Yes. That's it. She asked us to record her message to you. Then she left the room with the champagne bottle on hand." Victoria explained.

"But why is it that the Exo Team were the ones who gave me the recording?" Sunny asked, still confused.

"We don't know where she went after leaving the room. We stopped wondering since we got preoccupied with playing charades just to get rid of all the caffeines from our system." Sulli added.

"Coffee... 3 pitchers of brewed coffee." Amber shuddered remembering her insane palpitations.

"We even climbed the stairs of the hotel from the lobby to the top floor." Krystal said.

"And knocked on every door on the 5th floor and ran away before someone could catch us." Luna recalled the prank they played.

"And raced against each other to get here first." Victoria told them.

"But we saw a helicopter. Then a few hours after... I'm not sure but I think I saw a hot air balloon..." Amber struggled to remember.

"You're still not making sense to me..." Yuri stated, wondering where her boss could be.

"So where's Boss?" Hyoyeon asked aloud.

"No idea," The 5 girls answered in unison.

"Perhaps hiding under the bed covers of Miss Tiffany's bed. Hehehe. You know what happens when people get drunk... Hehehe." Seohyun offered her theory. A naughty smirk was plastered on her face.

"Cut it out Seohyun. My boss is not like that." Sunny shot her a glare.

"What? I'm just offering my opinion here. Hehehe." Seohyun chuckled as she stood up and went on to reading the morning newspaper, leaving the girls wondering where Taeyeon might be.
