(n.) Things that are better left unsaid...
DeMeo and Jake walked inside a massive library decorated with large golden chandeliers those were hanging from the cielling.
The interior of the room was cool with the shades of the fur trees those were right outside the window, filtering the bright orange afternoon sunlight.
Hyukjae closed his eyes, letting the familiar scent of old books and and fir trees wash through his memory...bringing out rather an old, distant one of him and Cecily DeMeo running around the place; playing hide and seek when they were kids.
It was a time; when his parents used to visit the DeMeos frequently as family friends. But now, the relationship has been narrowed down to a crude business state.
The first thing he had hoped when he'd arrived was not to see Cecily's face...but it couldn't be helped... she was there standing besides her papa, looking gorgeous and serene as ever, glamerous enough to confuse him again.
'There was a time...' thought Hyukjae; looking out through the window 'that I thought my world would be perfect if I only had you beside me'
"Mr. Maranzano" said DeMeo while Hyukjae looked at him.
"Were you thinking about something?"
Jake shook his head and gave a short smile "No"
"I believe that we are able to discuss our terms now"
"Where's your hospitality DeMeo?" asked Hyukjae with a snort and the man gave him a painful smile
"I will give you my full hospitality when we discuss and come into a conclusion" said DeMeo solidly.
Hyukjae strolled forward and sat down on a luxurious leather sofa while DeMeo sat in front of him. Hyukjae glanced back out of habbit, expecting to see Donghae standing besides him, but he remembered that he'd left both Donghae and Luca outside the room.
'Please don't talk with Cecily' prayed Hyukjae.
"Still looking for that Aiden kid?" asked DeMeo and Hyukjae nodded
"I found some more on him and his whereabouts...and I can give them to you, for a price of course"

"And you suggestion?" asked Jake crisply
"Weapons" said DeMeo lustily "and some extra Coccain would be good"
"Forget weapons" said Jake "5 metric tones of coccain"
"Hmm" crooned DeMeo "information on Luciano is hard to find Jake...7 MT would be fair"
"5.5 and no more" said Hyukjae, not taking his eyes off the burly Amarican "you don't want me to reduce the scale into kilograms do you?"
"Deal!" Said DeMeo, snapping his fingers "bring the report!"
A maid at once came forward with an envelope toward Hyukjae who took it from the tray she was holding. He tore the top off and read it. It was listed with places where suspects were spotted and more family detail. But one thing struck Hyukjae as interesting.
The picture was of a tall young boy walking down a narrow street. His face was upturned but the features were not very clear since it was captured in black and white.
"Seoul?" He asked, folding the paper and DeMeo nodded eagerly
"Our satellite system tracked that...also it's upgraded material and its biologically tested"
Hyukjae raised an eyebrow and Demeo smiled
"It's the same as the results that come from out from our brand new algorithm" said the man smiling broadly "we have the DNA of Alexi and we feed the data into our system and it creates the duplicates of various forms of his potential offsprings...the boy in the picture matches the exact measurements"
"That's one in a million" said Hyukjae "how can I be sure?"
"Trust me" said the man "or rather, trust DeMeo technology"
"So thats Aiden?" asked Jake looking at the blury photo
"That's Aiden" confirmed DeMeo smugly "as a matter of my curiosity Jake...what are you going to do after you find him?"
"Kill him" said Jake in an emotionless voice while DeMeo raised his eyebrows in surprise
"I agree to the killing part but when you think about it...you have already spent millions on him"

"Im willing to do that" said Jake; staring at the boy it the photo,
Try as he might, he couldn't get rid of the feeling that the figure in the picture looks firmiliar, it gave him a constant haunting feeling that there was something that he was missing out...something close
"Cecily has been waiting for you to turn up" said the man and Hyukjae turned to look at him.
"What?"
"Cecily" said the man again in a define tone "she wanted to talk to you"
But Hyukjae said nothing.
"you are welcome to stay at our residence as long as you need" said DeMeo but Jake looked at his watch, putting up a supirior look.
"Thankyou but you know where I usually prefer"
"Ah" said the man lightly "the mighty Maranzano family house"
"It's the only place where I can be at peace" said Jake walking out "I've a habbit to not trust poeple"
*************
Donghae was quietly standing next to the massive polished wooden doors of the library. Luca had left with the head of the security of the DeMeo estate.
He was wondering what to do, when he felt himself being watched. When he looked around, he saw the pretty blonde girl who had been standing next to DeMeo, looking back at him.
She took a few steps forward and stood infront of him. Donghae gave a slight bow and was about to look away when the girl suddenly spoke to him
"What is your name?" she asked in korean, her downtown Amarican accent slipping. Her tone was smooth yet comanding and there was something fearless in the way she was regarding him.
"Lee Donghae" he said. He was already quite taller than her.
"I'm Cecily Alexandria DeMeo" she said, casting him an interested glance. "So you are his highness's bodygaurd arn't you?"
"Er-"
"Italian mixed?" she asked, without waiting for his answer "you don't need to say it though, I bet you can't speak English that much"
"As a matter of fact, I do speak English" said Donghae in a perfect British accented voice.
'Better than you anyways' he thought savagely.
The girl gave a start and looked at him.
"I dont wonder why he took you in" she said giving a sparkle of laughter "Maranzanos have a weakness for multitalented bodyguards"
"Oh believe me" said Donghae, quite forgetting who he was talking to "he didn't take me in because I sprouted out different languages at him"
"So how long have you been working for him?" She asked, examining her pretty nails
"About 2 months now?" said Donghae.
"We are family friends" said the girl "we used to play with each other since we were kids and Jake used to adore me...I bet he still does"
"Oh" said Donghae, he didn't know why he was getting annoyed with talking to this girl, the familiar way she was talking about Jake pissed him off him for some reason
He clenched his fists unconsiously.
"Well I bet everyone expects us to marry each other" she said carelessly; her doll like face looking as if she'd love the idea of getting married even the next day.
"What!?" said Donghae and imidiately regretted as the girl gave him a superior smile.
Just then thankfully, the door opened and Jake came out with DeMeo who was looking exceptionally smug with his future coccain thoughts
"Jake! it nice to see you again" breathed the girl but Hyukjae just looked at her once before he turned to Donghae.
"We're out" he said "get Luca"
"Right" said Donghae, and ran out; happy to do as told.
Hyukjae turned back to the golden haired girl and gently took her hand. He turned it over and gently kissed it.
"Good to see you too Cecy" he said, with his eyes looking confused.
"You're going home?" she asked, withdrawing her hand
"I am" said Jake
"I'm coming too"
"Cecy-"
"I'm coming Jake, dont dare stop me" she said, clutching his shirt.
