I'm The Boss's Secretary?!

Taehyung stared in disbelief to finally see his younger brother again. The latter was quiet, almost too quiet as he sipped the tea from the small chipped cup on his hands.

"What happened earlier?" Taehyung questioned Taein as he found that his younger brother could now pass an order toward the black witches.

"Mother's experiments," answered Taein before placing the teacup and fixing his gloves. While he looked calm, Taehyung for certain new that he wasn't, judging by his hands that kept on moving whether it was to touch and hold the cup or if it was to fix the black gloves he wore.

"It's not a good experiment, you would be better off not knowing anything about it," he continued.

"Say..." Taehyung started, and carefully looked at his younger brother, "Have you've been well?"

Taein looked at Taehyung with wide eyes before soon anger filled it, "You are asking me how am I fine? With that woman who continue to haunt me all around my life? You don't know—" Taein clenched tight his now, his upset won over his anger at his expression which he couldn't hide. "—I was waiting for you."

Taehyung looked at Taein with regret, "I'm sorry."

"Enough about the sorry. I knew that would be the only words coming from your mouth. I only have one question before I go," Taein responded, clenching his wrists without being noticed what was hidden underneath the sleeve. "Did you leave me because of the answer I gave you at that time?"

Taehyung questioned with his eyes but soon got it, "No, it wasn't that I wanted to leave you. Taein, like you I acted that house. I can't breath there, and everyday I feel as if my skin was pulled out when I have to see all the people tortured and killed. It wasn't my place. The guilt of killing is too heavy for me. Whatever answer you gave about our father, about the question that I asked you that day, I knew you were never at fault. She had been the one at fault to not teach you of what was wrong and what was right."

Taein who was quiet seemed to be mulling his emotions over his brother's answer. It was sudden for them to meet, thus the situation between them was awkward. 

While Taehyung waited for his brother's response, Taein had stood up, taking his coat. In cue, Taehyung followed his steps, "You're going?"

"If I stay here, I will only bring more attraction to you and I know... you like this kind of life. The peaceful ones," Taein shrugged his shoulders.

Before he left, Taehyung said what he had been meaningly wanting to utter, "You can come anytime here. I will always be here for you now and if you ever need to escape the house... I know it would be extremely difficult. Jumping places to live in so I won't alarm her had been that difficult but I want you to be released and freed from her."

Taein seemed to be in a great difficulty when he spoke and could only muster one single word, "Okay."

When he was about to leave, without forgetting Taein, pulled the white witch by her wrist. Taehyung came and spoke, "You shouldn't be too rough on her."

Taein only frowned and rolled his eyes but regardless he released his hold on the white witchess. Leaning forward, Taein then whispered, "Count your stars. You wouldn't be so lucky again in the future." And as if nothing happened, Taein looked at Taehyung, "I will come again soon."

When Taein left, Taehyung sighed, he wondered just how much his younger brother had gone through that it changes his gentle nature into one which seemed to be harsher than before but then he couldn't blame him for the situation and the environment Taein had to live in.

However seeing Taein earlier, Taehyung could confirm that his brother was still the same person whom he knew, the boy who was a little awkward but always gave in into the requests he made. 

"Umm," the voice rang and Taehyung turned to see the white witchess whom he had almost forgotten her presence of with how silent she tried to keep herself. 

"You should leave now and if it isn't too late, change your house and your living place. The people that are chasing for you they are more dangerous than the unruly witchess outside the coven."

The white witchess stared at him as if his eyes had multiplied across his face, "You are releasing me? Aren't you and that one earlier a family?"

"Brother, twins," he answered.

"I can see that," she replied. "What's... you are not involved with the things he did?" Because just by the look one can notice the clear difference of Taehyung and Taein with one looking as dark and evil while the other was peaceful and calm.

"It's a family matter," Taehyung didn't get to the explanation and instead asked, "Before it's late I will bring you to your home," at the mention of house, the woman turned alarmed and Taehyung almost forgot how the woman was just threatened with her family's life he added, "You can ignore the offer if you want to."

"No!" The white witchess said after a second thought. She can see that the younger twin whose face was similar to the gentleman she sees now was obedient to Taehyung. Call her sneaky, but she wanted to live even if it means that she has to use an underhanded method by befriending the man and use him as a shield.

With a smile she then reached out her hand, "Call me Sunhee. I am a white witch as you have known. What's your name?"

Taehyung who was polite smiled back at the woman and return her handshake, "I'm Taehyung. I go by the name Lee Taehyung now. Is your house far?"

"Actually it is very near," answered the woman. "If you don't mind me making this request..."

"Go on," Taehyung offered.

"I have to go home very quickly. There's a baby at home and I can't leave him for long..."

"Then you don't have to worry. I don't plan to go out for long either. Let's make a quick trip."

In the meantime Taein who had came back to the house was in a deep thought as his eyes continue to daze. He then reached out his hand, staring at his wrist which where the Mistress had casted the mark on and unknowingly dug his own fingernails into his skin as if doing so would undo the mark. 

In time, the cursed voice he never wanted to hear came along the sound of sharp high heels footsteps. "You are back, Taein. I heard from the others that you decided to take care of the white witchess. But I don't see she is anywhere with you?"

Taein saw his mother's cold gaze and his hand clenched. Perhaps other think being the son of this woman would cut all possibilities for him to be killed by her hands but no. Taein for certain knew the moment his mother casted the deadly mark on his wrist that his life was just another pawn on the chest for her. 

But by clenching his jaw and smiling, he appeared as if he wasn't bothered by the death threats around him, "I'm sorry for taking long, mother but the woman didn't want to listen to me.... I didn't have a choice but to kill her."
