Jumin's eyes widened as he slowly stepped back from the door. He couldn't believe how hard Sapphire was crying. She could hardly breathe. It was all his fault...it always seemed to be. He didn't expect her to cry over such news. Was he just being ignorant towards her feelings?

He shook his head as he opened the door to find Luciel holding her tightly, rubbing her head and kissing her forehead. Jumin balled his fists and growled dangerously as he stomped up to Luciel and grabbed him by the collar of his dress shirt and spun him around, Sapphire spinning out of his arms. Jumin brought the others face close as he brought his fist back, preparing to punch. Luciel's eyes widened in surprise, but soon turned dangerous seeing who it was.

"Hit me," Luciel spat. "You'll only make things worse for Sapph."

Jumin looked up and saw Sapphire, who was sitting on the ground, looking up at the other two with tears running down her flawless skin. He slowly lowered his fist as they made eye contact. Luciel forcefully pushed Jumin back and went to Sapphire. He glared at the older one. "You need to go back. I'm pretty sure if your fiance saw this scene she wouldn't be too pleased." He helped Sapphire up and shook his head. "I don't get why you had to act like you had the right to ruin her life. You had no...no damn right." He sighed as Sapphire shakily spoke.

"L-Luciel.."

Jumin's heart broke as he heard the desperation in her voice. It wounded him like no other. Anyone could tell she was torn, and it wasn't a pleasant sight. Luciel smiled warmly. "Go to the bathroom and wash up, then meet me at our table, okay?"

Sapphire nodded and quickly ran past Jumin. It was silent for some time before Jumin cleared his throat. "What the Hell do you think you're doing, Luciel?"

"Me?" Luciel asked. "Me?! You've GOT to be kidding. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" Luciel took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled. "Jumin. Why are you trying to make Sapphire jealous? Well, not even that..Why are you trying to hurt her?"

"I'm not trying to hurt her. I'm simply trying to keep myself from hurting her."

"How? By avoiding her? By kicking her out of your house? By announcing your WEDDING in front of her? How is any of that helping?!"

Jumin stood there in silence, staring at the red haired man in front of him. Was trying to keep Sapphire's feeling safe actually hurting her even more? It couldn't be. There's no possible way. Jumin knew he was doing the right thing, but why did it feel so terribly wrong? "I'm doing my job as her boyfriend to-"

"YOU AREN'T EVEN HER BOYFRIEND ANYMORE, YOU SELFISH JERK!" Luciel growled defensively as his face began turning red from anger. "I thought you changed! We all thought you changed after being with Sapphire. Everyone in the RFA thought 'hey, Jumin Han is not a selfish jerk anymore, he's actually loving and caring', but I guess we were all wrong!" Seven faced away from Jumin as his voice lowered, barely audible to Jumin's ears. "You don't deserve her….but I know that, as soon as you apologize to her...she'll forgive you..And you'll just hurt her all over again."

Jumin Han stared at Seven, slightly surprised at his attitude. Luciel had never cared about these things, so why was he doing it now? Jumin knew Luciel and Sapphire were close friends, but that gave Luciel no right to do and say what he did. Was there another reason why he was so defensive whenever it came to Sapphire? Did Luciel know something he didn't? A sudden realization came to Jumin's head and he glared emotionlessly at Seven. "Do you love her?"

Seven's eyes met Jumin's. His heart began to pound faster as Jumin's eyes stared into his soul. "Yes."

"I thought so…" Jumin folded his arms. "You say I haven't changed. But, the reality of it is, I have changed. Drastically. Maybe you can't see the changes, but I can, and so can Sapphire. Although I don't agree with you on most 'facts' in your statement, I will agree on two things: I don't deserve her and I'm not her boyfriend.." Jumin's eyes stung at the words that slipped out of his mouth. He could tell Luciel was just as surprised as he was. He spun around, facing the double doors that led inside to the venue. "Go."

Seven blinked. "What?"

Jumin gulped, staring at the floor as his eyes began to feel a weird sensation he had never felt before. "Go…..go comfort her."

"Jumin-"

"Now!.."

Luciel's face saddened as he ran inside of the building. Jumin's eyes burned into the cement ground he stared at. Huh? There was a small drop of water that splattered onto the ground. Then another. And another. Jumin looked up, seeing if the ceiling was leaking. His eyes widened as he felt the liquid run down his cheeks, falling onto his shoulders. For the first time, that he could remember, Jumin was crying. Even more so over a girl. No..not just a girl. The love of his life that he carelessly let slip through his fingers. The one who changed the kind of man he was. His very first love…

"Fuck.." He hissed between clenched teeth as he furiously wiped away his tears. The anger and sadness inside of his body was about to burst. He was about to reach his breaking point right here and now. He had to catch his cool before he completely lost it…..


You stared at your reflection in the mirror. Black streaks stained your cheeks and your mascara had become chunky, causing your eyelashes to stick together. You leaned over the sink and splashed water onto your face, washing away the stains and left over make up. You had been in the restroom for 20 minutes. You had cooled down enough to the point where you could leave the bathroom and be fine. But...you didn't want to leave. You didn't want to face Jumin or Sarah. You couldn't. You'd break down just by the sight of him.

"Sapph?"

You turned to the door. Knocking was heard and you smiled at yourself in the mirror, then walked to the door and exited the bathroom. Seven stood there with a smile.

"Are you okay? Or do you need more time?"

"I'm fine, Seven. Thank you." You grabbed his arm and the two of you walked back inside the venue and sat at your table. Mr. Chairman was on the stage, giving speeches and thanking people for their help in the success of C&R.

"...and, once again, I am happy for my son and his fiance. May you two live a happy life. Now, I would like to call up a wonderful person who has made C&R's huge success a reality. Sapphire Choii, would you come up?"

You smiled as everyone clapped. Standing up, Seven tugged on your hand and whispered, "good luck, Sapph." You nodded and made your way up the stage, taking your place next to Mr. Chairman. He handed you the microphone and you inhaled deeply, then slowly exhaled.

"I'm glad I've been able to contribute to such a great company. Some months ago, I never would've pictured my life like this. My life was a mess and I was never a real organized person until I met Mr. Chairman and Mr. Han. These two men have helped me in a successful life, teaching me the basics of organization and planning. I'm also grateful for my other friends who have helped, and I couldn't have done this without their support." You smiled as Mr. Chairman patted your back with a grin. Go on, he mouthed. "The first weeks of working here, I was Mr. Han's assistant. Of course, this busied my life up quite a bit. Jaehee was a huge support and role model for me. She is known as the best assistant at C&R, and Mr. Han is very lucky to have her as a friend and co-worker." You gulped. "After quitting the assistant life, Mr. Chairman assigned me to as Chief Executive of over sea trades. I promise to help the company in its best interests. Thank you, Mr. Chairman."

The crowd began to clap loudly as everyone who sat at the Han's table stood up and walked onto the stage, congratulating you. First, it was some important people from the company, then it was Driver Kim, who bowed. You rolled your eyes and embraced him. As he pulled away, you caught a glimpse of the blush that covered his cheeks. Then, it was Sarah. She shook her hips as she made her way to you.

"Congrats," she said with a smile as she lightly hugged you. "You won't be working at the company for long now that I'm here to stay," she whispered as he pulled away, then went back to her table. You frowned. What the Hell is wrong with her. Then, Jumin walked up to you. Your eyes met and you quickly bowed. He stared at you with cold eyes as he, too, bowed in respect.

"Thank you for giving me opportunities, Mr. Han." You stood back up and looked past him, smiling at Mr. Chairman. Jumin went to say something, but quickly shut his mouth, nodded and walked away. Mr. Chairman approached you and embraced you, kissing your left cheek.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Choii."

"No thanks is need, sir."

You bow3d and made your way back to Seven, who seemed to be moving uncomfortably in his seat. You sat next to him and frowned. "Seven, what's wrong-"

Surprised, your words caught in your throat as Seven quickly pulled you into a tight embrace. He gave you a little squeeze, then pulled away, happiness filling his eyes. "I'm so proud of you, Six-oh-six. You've grown up so fast!"

You giggled and glanced at Jumin's table, seeing him stare at you and Seven. He turned to Sarah, whispered in her ear, and the two of them stood, then left the venue.
