Mingyu used to hate his empty and cold apartment, but because of someone significant, it was the place that he was happiest for at least in the seven past days of his life. It was the place that he longed to always come back to, because someone was there and someone was waiting for him to come back home.

Sure, it is true when people say that home is not a place but a person.

All his life, he never had a home.

But this beautiful omega of his gave him a home after so long waiting for it.

And now, when he comes back to the place he finally can say it was his home for this past week, and sees no one there . His heart is aching.

His cold and empty apartment is back but now it's giving him much more pain than before because he can feel Wonwoo's traces everywhere here.

When he walks into the kitchen, his kitchen, which used to be the space that he never really touched, is now full of cooking equipment and fresh raw ingredients that Wonwoo had bought before for Mingyu to cook. Mingyu opens his refrigerator and sees that Wonwoo has stocked so much food there, he surely really loves Mingyu's foods.

Not far from the kitchen, he sees the kitchen bar he and Wonwoo loved to eat there. Something about their habit of using kitchen bar than Mingyu's dining table makes Mingyu smiles. He loves to eat with Wonwoo's presence not too far from him, so kitchen bar where they could eat while their shoulder brushing to each other was more likely their choice than a spacious dining table.

Memories of them eating together, laughing, talking, and sharing each other stories are definitely something he holds dear into his heart. He misses Wonwoo, he misses that man so much even though they only separated no more than an hour.

Mingyu shakes his head and tells himself that Wonwoo will soon comeback to him, he only goes home because his parents are finally on this country again and he just wants to greet them and spend some times with his parents. Nothing wrong with that, why does Mingyu act like he lost Wonwoo forever? That's nonsense.

Tomorrow, Wonwoo will knock on his apartment door again and they will finally meet again.

Mingyu walks into his bathroom to take a shower and that's where he can still smell a faint scent of Jeon Wonwoo and his heart once again is aching in his ribcage. There were so many things they did together in this room and he's not only talking about taking a bath. Mingyu can still feel Wonwoo's presence here and it makes him want to cry. They were separated when they wanted to go home together. It was definitely wrong.

Mingyu takes a very fast shower, he wants to get out as fast as possible, he feels like he can cry anytime soon if he stays longer in this room because the memory of Wonwoo's is washing him like no other. Before leaving, Mingyu looks at his sink and finds two toothbrushes there. Every morning and night, they often brush their teeth together. An activity as simple as brushing their teeth can be something so heartwarming if he did that with the person his heart feels so comfortable with.

Mingyu sighs and grabs his towel to get out from that room to go to his wardrobe's closet just to remember they spent almost all of their time there when Wonwoo's was in heat.

He goes to his living room and the sofa and the big TV in front of it also remind him of his omega. Even Wonwoo's Game of Thrones book is still there on the table in front of the sofa, Wonwoo hasn't finished reading it yet.

There is no space in his place that doesn't have Wonwoo's traces and currently it kills him because he already misses him so much.

What is he doing now?

Is his hand okay now?

Can he sleep alright tonight? He was in so much pain while he was sleeping before.

What is it that keeps haunting him that he can't tell me yet?

He wants to know; he wants to ask so here he is laying alone in his spacious bed trying to call Wonwoo's number. He wants to hear his voice. He waits patiently. But after so many rings, the other side of the phone doesn't answer his call.

Maybe he is still busy with his parents, Mingyu reassures himself.

Mingyu leaves a message to Wonwoo and puts down his phone in his bed.

He looks out of the window and sees it's already dark outside. It's time to sleep. But the question is, how can he sleep?

Sleeping wasn't his problem again after he met Wonwoo.

But now...

One, two, three, four, five hours.

It's already so late but Mingyu is still struggling to sleep.

Like he used to, like he always does.

He opens his phone again and sends another message to his boyfriend, maybe the major reason why he can't sleep is because he worries about him.

To : jeononu

Hey, sorry I message you again, I hope you are already sleeping but I worry about you. Are you okay, Jeon Wonwoo? You can always tell me anything. I hope the wound in your hand doesn't hurt you much. I hope you have a good day tomorrow.

And I know this sounds crazy because I only separated with you in less than ten hours, but..

I miss you.

I want to see you and hear your voice.

So if you have time, please call me.

Mingyu knows Wonwoo's phone is still active because his messages are delivered to him, but somehow he doesn't open his message and read it. Maybe he can't . There is no way Wonwoo is ignoring his messages, right? Mingyu scrolls to his last conversation with his boyfriend and smiles bitterly when he can almost see 50 more messages from his side in the past five hours.

This is crazy.

How did he live his life without Jeon Wonwoo before? He survived 22 years without the existence of him in his life. And now he starts going crazy only after not meeting him for hours? Hang in there Mingyu, you can do this. Mingyu tries to give encouragement that never really touches his heart because something feels odd.

Something feels different, Wonwoo's kiss in front of everyone was a shocking thing, but his words after that makes Mingyu feel so uneasy.

"Mingyu, I love you."

"That's the only thing that is true."

When it reaches 3AM, Mingyu opens his drawer to find his sleeping pill because he can't sleep. His mind doesn't shut down, he tries so hard just to sleep, he already counts the sheep, closes his eyes and doing nothing for an hour, plays some games on his phone just to makes his mind is tired enough and giving up but nothing came close to the power of Wonwoo's scent that can send him to the dreamland as easy as breathing.

"I hope you won't touch your sleeping pills again, Mingyu."

Wonwoo's voice rings in his ears.

"The constant consumption of sleeping pills must have some side effects for you. I don't want to see you sick in the future so I'll try my best to make you fall asleep. I have this magic in my hand; Zimzalabim, go to sleep, Kim Mingyu."

Mingyu still remembers how bright Wonwoo's smile was after said those words. He laughed at his words but Mingyu could see how serious and sincere he was when he said that. Mingyu never saw a man that looked so worried at him as much as Wonwoo.

"Promise me, you won't touch those pills again, Mingyu."

"I promise you Wonwoo, but you need to be here." Mingyu sighs once more and closes his eyes. He tries to meet Wonwoo in his memories, maybe it helps.

"Kid, you're alive."

"Your fever has gone down, right?"

At the basement, when Wonwoo said that to him. Mingyu was sure that Wonwoo was seeing him, and he recognized him. He talked to him. His worried eyes to him were just the same as the worried eyes he gave whenever they talked about Mingyu's trouble sleeping. But his words were confusing.

Mingyu doesn't have a fever.

He has so many questions but he knows whether he and Wonwoo can't answer that yet.

That man is as confused as him.

On the last trip, he saw Wonwoo looked at him as if he knew him for so long and talked to him but also not him at the same time. Once in the forest, and the next one in the basement. And the crazier part, Mingyu's heart hurt when he saw that as if his heart knew something that his mind wasn't.

What is that?

Mingyu looks out of the window once again when he sees the sun rise from the dark, at the end Mingyu couldn't sleep at all. All his night was spent worrying, questioning, and missing the significant person in his life.

Jeon Wonwoo.

***

It's been four days since the last time he met his boyfriend and Mingyu is already crazy on his mind. He can't do this anymore. It's getting harder on his side because Wonwoo wasn't even replying to his message nor answering his calls.

He just disappears from Mingyu's life and he can't accept that.

He needs to do something so they can meet again, so he can ask this question directly to his boyfriend;

"Are you okay?"

Mingyu's first idea is visiting his boyfriend parent's house. Wonwoo must be there.

Even though he will become an uninvited guest and leave some bad remarks to his parents, he doesn't care anymore. What if Wonwoo is locked in his own home by his parents? Mingyu knows this thought is extreme but he can't help but wonder what happens in Jeon's household. Why doesn't he reply to Mingyu's messages? Where is he right now?

These days have been so hard for Mingyu.

He couldn't sleep, when he finally could, he only could sleep for 2 hours at maximum. He didn't touch his sleeping pill because he promised not to consume that anymore to his boyfriend. He had his final exam week to end this semester and he wasn't sure how he filled his answer paper when he:

Didn't sleep properly in the past 4 daysHis mind is everywhere but his studyMissing and worrying his boyfriend like crazy

Number three is the hardest part.

He will worry about his studies the other time; he just can't handle all of it at the same time.

Exam is finally over and he is about to go out from his apartment to search for Wonwoo's house (asking Soonyoung is the first one to come to his mind), when he hears someone knocking on his front door.

Wonwoo?!

Mingyu runs from his bedroom to his door, getting excited in his heart, but when he reaches there his heart is filled with disappointment because he can't smell Wonwoo's pheromone. There is no Wonwoo behind this door. He opens his door with a disappointed heart but the smiles of Soonyoung and Jihoon that greet him give him a little consolation.

"Wow, you look like shit." Is what Soonyoung saying to him the first thing they meet again after four days.

Mingyu rolls his eyes and almost closes the door again but Jihoon stops him.

"I bring food and beers, let's eat." And without his permission, his bestfriend boyfriend is stepping inside to his place.

An hour later, they are in Mingyu's living room, eating fried chicken and beer on the floor when there is a huge sofa behind them. Fried chicken and beer is definitely Soonyoung's idea.

"I watch Korean dramas where people tend to bond more with chicken and beers."

Mingyu laughs. "What kind of bond do you expect us to have more?"

They are already as close as brothers, Mingyu doesn't expect more. Jihoon takes another can of beer and looks at Soonyoung and Mingyu with his judging eyes. He's going to say something that Mingyu hates to hear, believe him.

"Yeah, you both have already tasted each other's mouths before. This kind of bond is enough for you two."

This evil omega, Lee Jihoon!

Mingyu wants to knock Jihoon on his head but Soonyoung glares at him.

Yeah yeah, no one can touch Jihoon except for his alpha.

"How is your exam, Mingyu?" Soonyoungs asks him and tries to change the subject of conversation.

Exam, huh?

"Yeah, expect me to repeat some subjects next semester, it's a mess." It's true, Mingyu doesn't expect anything comes out good from him these past four days.

Jihoon shakes his head as if he disappoints in Mingyu. "What? I'm not as smart as you, Ji!" Mingyu is fast to defend himself.

"It's not that. Wonwoo must be disappointed if he knows that you failed your exam." Jihoon says the name for the first time and Mingyu freezes in his place.

"I miss him, what is he doing now? He should be here eating chicken and beer with us."

He should be.

With this being said, Mingyu remembers what he wanted to ask Soonyoung.

"Soonyoung, do you know where Wonwoo's parents house address?"

Soonyoung looks at him and his eyes get more serious than before.

"I know, but are you sure you want to go there?"

There is something in his words that makes Mingyu raise his eyebrow, he wants to ask what he means by that but he is interrupted by Jihoon's voice.

"Mingyu, where is your guest room? I want to sleep."

"Huh? It's only seven?"

Mingyu knows that Soonyoung and Jihoon came to his place to make him feel a little bit less lonely but he doesn't expect them to plan on staying a night here. The constant messages from him to both Soonyoung and Jihoon that said he misses Wonwoo must be bothering them too.

They are really kind friends.

Mingyu points on one of the doors to Jihoon to answer his question. Jihoon wakes from his position and brings a newly opened can of beer on his hand to the direction of Mingyu's finger.

"Jihoon sleeps earlier than most of us." Soonyoung comments and before Jihoon walks away from them, Mingyu wants to annoy him for the last time.

"So whenever you two did it, you often did it in a broad light?" Mingyu is satisfied when he sees Jihoon's side eyes to him and Soonyoung's annoyed face. "Hehe, kidding."

Jihoon looks like he wants to go and Mingyu doesn't expect that he will go back to the living room area where Soonyoung and Mingyu are still sitting on the floor, and the next thing he does is... kissing Soonyoung's on the cheek. Soonyoung's eyes are wide open.

"Bet you want to kiss someone so badly these past days, but can't , right? Mingyu? Ha!" Then the littlest one walks away from them and disappears behind Mingyu's guest room's door.

Jihoon just gives him a total jab with his action.

Jihoon : Mingyu

1 : 0

Yes! He is so right!

He wants to kiss, hug, touch someone so badly these days, but he can't. His center of affection is disappearing and gives him so much frustration.

"Since when Jihoon is okay to give public displays of affection?" Mingyu's question brings Soonyoung back, and that damn friend of his is only smirking.

"Ah.. something must have happened between you."

Soonyoung is leaning on the sofa's leg and looks at Mingyu with a knowing look. "Yeah, but that isn't the thing you want to ask me right now." Soonyoung takes another can of beer and opens it. "Ask."

Mingyu also takes another can of beer and opens it. He really needs alcohol in his blood stream right now. "I have so many questions, but I will start it out with; do you have any ideas what happened to Wonwoo right now?"

Soonyoung nods. "I have a picture but I hope it won't turn out to be true."

"Tell me more about it."

Soonyoung seems to have more experience than him if it's related to Wonwoo's family, so Mingyu will ask him. The only one who at least can give him a glimmer of light on this very dark and confusing situation.

"When I first met him in the high school days, we matched easily because we both love to play game and our senses of humor is matched, so we communicated easily. I often asked him to go to my house after school to play game. At first he was hesitant but at the end he accepted my offers because I could see that he was also a lonely kid. He didn't have many friends at school and maybe met me gave him some companion he was seeking for." Mingyu glares at Soonyoung, not liking his choice of word and Soonyoung's explains more before Mingyu is going mad at him again. "I mean in friendship, platonic relationship . I never had any romantic feeling for him and I believe he is also feel the same way."

Mingyu nods. "Continue."

"But after spending more time with him, I learned that his parents were (or are, I don't know) crazy protective of him. His parents never really liked the idea of him playing games so when they found out that their only son was secretly going to my house to play games, instead of taking another class to make him smarter. They were so mad, even until now I'm still afraid of his mother." Soonyoung grimaces at his own memories. He still remembers that day as if it happened yesterday.

"What happened to him after that?" Mingyu asks again.

"I believe he was severely scolded. He went missing for a couple days from school." Soonyoung stops a moment and looks at Mingyu, his eyes giving him a warning that Mingyu slowly understands. "Just like what is happening right now."

"At the end, he came back to school?"

"Yes, but he kept his distance from me. I couldn't accept that because Wonwoo was one of my best friends. I didn't want our bond to change just because his parents forbade him to be friends with me. What was so wrong with me? So I kept asking him for days until he finally opened up." Soonyoung takes a deep breath. "He told me that his parents were doing a background check on me and he felt so bad about it that in the end he felt bad for facing me."

"What?" Mingyu is shocked and Soonyoung kind of understands.

"Yeah, you're not hearing wrong. His parents are crazy rich; they can do anything in this country. So, a background check of some random kid in his son's class was not hard. I believe they do the same to you right now. Wonwoo kissed you in front of so many people as if he wanted to declare you as his lover. His parents must be going nuts right now."

So, the reason why Wonwoo was kissing him is to challenge his parents? Mingyu still doesn't understand.

"I knew that his parents were so overprotective of him, but what is the reason behind that?"

Soonyoung drinks his beer again. "They want to be the one to choose everything for their son. His school, his clothes, his food, his circle of friends. And now because I knew that Wonwoo is an omega, maybe they also want to choose his alpha for him. And the fact that Wonwoo isn't coming back to you, seems like his parents don't like the image of you as their only son's alpha. Same as the way they saw me as his friend."

Mingyu ears' ring at the words that were said by Soonyoung.

He hates the idea of Wonwoo in another alpha's embrace.

"But Wonwoo always hates everything that his parents set him up for. He is also a stubborn kid, so when he finally opened up everything to me and understood that I didn't judge him as he was afraid to, he tried his best to keep being friends with me. Maybe I wasn't giving him so much harm, I didn't even know that he was an omega, but at the end his parents were finally giving up. But still, they didn't like me for the reason I didn't know even until now." Soonyoung looks sad and Mingyu can understand why. It feels bad to be disliked by your best friend's parents.

"By the way, you know that Wonwoo always wanted to become a photographer?"

Photographers?

This is new information for Mingyu.

"Wonwoo has so many sides of him that he keeps inside because of his parents."

Mingyu tries to think but to imagine Wonwoo is suffering from the people that should be giving him a perfect home, hurts him . His parents and Wonwoo's parents are total opposite at raising their children but the pain they gave to both Mingyu and Wonwoo, maybe all the same.

"Do you know why his parents act that way to him? Is this related to the death of Wonwoo's twin brother?"

Soonyoung raises his eyes to him, looks shocked for a moment. "Oh you know about Wonho already? Wow, Wonwoo must feel so comfortable with you. I know about Wonho after three years of becoming his friend and you know about him in less than a month."

"Yeah, I became his boyfriend also in less than a month. He loves me so much, so tell me about Wonho." Mingyu talks fast, he is eager to know about Wonwoo's late brother.

"Wonwoo is never comfortable talking about his twin brother to anyone. I was confused when I heard from him that he didn't really remember his brother and what the cause of his death was. Wonwoo said that his memory of his brother was very vague. His parents told him that the cause of Wonho's death was because of a sickness but Wonwoo also wasn't sure of that. Wonho's existence feels like a gray area in Wonwoo's life. It's so blurry that's why he isn't comfortable talking about him. But something must have happened that made his parents act that way to Wonwoo."

Soonyoung looks like he wants to say something but at the end he swallows his own words and sighs.

Is it his brother?

Was the thing that kept haunting him is his lost memory of his brother?

"By the way, to make it sure, his twin brother is his older brother right?" Mingyu asks again and Soonyoung only nods to answer it.

So, there is no way Wonwoo calls him a 'Kid'. Then who is it that he sees in the basement? Who is this 'Kid' that had a fever?

"I want to meet him; can you tell me his parent's house address?"

Soonyoung looks at him as if he already expects this question to be out of his alpha friend's mouth. "I know his parent's house; I once went there when his mother wanted another examination of me. But do you think it's the proper thing to do right now?"

Mingyu feels the frustration rising up again on his chest. "So what should I do? He didn't reply to my messages nor answer my calls. He just disappeared from my life and I miss him so much, Soonyoung. I want to see him, talk to him, I want to ask if he's okay, how about his wound? I want to ask if his parents scold him a lot because he has a relationship with an alpha like me ? I don't care if they did a background check on me, I just want to see Wonwoo again."

"Wow, wow calm down, friend. You look like you want to cry."

Mingyu trembles, there are so many feelings on his chest right now but none of it can give him a peace of mind. "If I can cry, I want to cry."

Soonyoung touches his shoulder. "Friend, next week is the first semester of the master degree program in our university. Wonwoo will be showing up there."

Ah, right.

Mingyu almost forgets that in his university, when the bachelor degree is done with their semester and have a semester break, the master degree will start their new semester right away.

He can meet Wonwoo next week.

Suddenly a hope is flaring on his chest.

"I can tell you Wonwoo's house address but I want to remind you that maybe your appearance there can make the situation harder for Wonwoo. Hang in there a little bit, my friend. Wonwoo will come back to you. If he could come back to me in our school days, and I'm only a friend for him. What stops him from coming back to you when you are his boyfriend? The one he gave his heart to?"

Soonyoung reassures him and Mingyu wants to believe in his word so much. He wants to believe that everything is gonna be okay but there is something inside him that tells him this is bigger than what he can imagine.

And his feeling is right.

Two days later, he sees Jihoon run to him in the university's parking area. Mingyu was finally done with his last exam and planned to go home faster because he felt so dizzy because of his lack of sleep these past days.

"What is it, Ji?"

Jihoon is taking his breath and his eyes show him something serious has happened. "I was asking about Wonwoo to one of my professors who is also teaching a master program. But he said he doesn't have any students whose name is Wonwoo."

Mingyu has an idea where this conversation ends and he doesn't like it.

"So I went to the administration and asked for it."

Jihoon looks directly into Mingyu's eyes and he looks like he is afraid of Mingyu's reaction after he says what he knows.

"They said, Wonwoo's enrollment in this university was canceled a week ago."

"What?"

Mingyu feels a loud pang in his heart right now and his mind is not clear anymore. He only sees Wonwoo's existence is getting far away from him, leaving him.

He can't accept this.

"Mingyu! Where do you want to go?" Jihoon holds his arm to stop him. Jihoon is a calm person, he rarely shows his panic emotion to other people but right now he looks so panicked at the sight of Mingyu.

"I will go to Wonwoo's house."

Jihoon tries to stop him once again and Mingyu growls at him. Somebody is definitely trying to separate Wonwoo from him and Mingyu won't let that happen.

"You can't stop me, Ji." Mingyu knows he uses his alpha's voice to Jihoon right now but he doesn't care anymore.

"Ok, but I will follow you. Your body is trembling hard right now and I know you might feel so angry, I'm afraid something bad will happen to you if you drive so I will drive you to Wonwoo's place." Mingyu looks at Jihoon's eyes and he is touched at how he sincerely worries for his friend's condition in his chaotic state of mind. So he nods, agreeing on Jihoon's kind offer.

And not too long, Mingyu and Jihoon are already on the road to reach Wonwoo's parents address which has already been told by Soonyoung before.

It's taking too long; Wonwoo parents' house is too far away. Mingyu can't help but feel antsy in his seat. Jihoon once and twice looks at him.

"Calm yourself, Mingyu. Don't assume things until you get the answer." Jihoon finally talks again and Mingyu only nods to give him a response.

To be honest, Mingyu is very worried about his boyfriend. He is sure that his parents are doing something to him, and the decision to cancel Wonwoo's master degree in his university was surely made by his parents.

"Where are you now, Wonwoo?" Mingyu whispers to himself, he feels so desperate and depleted.

Mingyu's car which now is driven by Jihoon entering a very big housing area and it stops completely in front of a big black gate. Mingyu is nervous, can they really enter this house? But as if waiting for his arrival, before Jihoon opens the window to ask the security to enter the gate, the gate is opened by itself.

It's not a house.

It's a mansion.

It doesn't shock him in any way since his parents' house is also as big as Wonwoo's house. But one thing that disturbs him that makes him feel more uneasy is the fact that this house looks too familiar for him. He is sure he has never entered this house before but why does he feels so déjà vu by the appearance of this big white mansion?

Jihoon stops the car at this house's garden. "I will wait here. Please don't do something too reckless, Mingyu." He once again warns his friend and Mingyu doesn't give him any responses, he just opens his car door and walks further into the Jeon's family mansion.

What should he do now?

Screaming Wonwoo's name like a total mad person?

He knows he isn't welcome here but he doesn't know any other ways to meet his boyfriend. Last night when he couldn't sleep, he gave Wonwoo another message. It's already countless how many messages he sent to his boyfriend in this past week. Mingyu is just too frustrated.

And last night, the sign on their conversation on the messenger application was changed.

From delivered , into read.

Wonwoo is reading his messages? Like finally?

And believe him when Mingyu says he couldn't breathe from waiting for his replies. But the replies were never coming and his calls were never accepted.

Mingyu feels like he isn't human anymore at how broken he is right now.

He leaves alone in his thoughts and assumptions, he doesn't know anything and no one really explains to him what is happening right now.

And his only love is disappearing from his life.

A very significant disappearance in his life.

And all he can do is just... waiting ? Waiting for Wonwoo to finally step foot on his place again, waiting for him to enter his life again.

Why the universe really loves to torture him this way? Why do they really love to make him wait for someone that he isn't sure will come back to him or not?

First his parents, the people who brought him to this world.

And now, his partner, someone who showed him so much happiness in a very short time and taught him that someone like Mingyu also deserves only a good thing in this life.

Waiting for Wonwoo is a thousand times harder than waiting for his parents.

That's why he is here.

Desperately knocking on Wonwoo's house door with a hope that he will show up himself behind this door.

Wonwoo, please.

Please.

I want to see you.

I beg you, please come back to me.

Someone walks toward the door and Mingyu waits again for the door to be finally opened up for him.

When he inhales his breath, he already knows that it's not Wonwoo, but his stupid mind wants him to hope that there is a chance that Wonwoo is the one who opens this door in front of him.

But instead of his lover's face.

It's a woman's face who has a lot resemblance of his boyfriend's face.

It's his mother for sure.

Mingyu looks at his eyes and his heart hurts to see the emotions there. The emotion this woman shows to him right now is beyond explanation. Why is she looking at Mingyu with so much;

Pain.

Anger.

What did Mingyu do to her for her to see him in this way?

His hatred for Mingyu is crystal clear and Mingyu wants to ask why. They only meet this time, the idea of her only son dating an alpha like him won't make her see him as if Mingyu is such a demon who is taking her son's life away.

"You want to see Jeon Wonwoo, right?"

This woman definitely knows him, as her son's boyfriend.

Her voice is so cold but Mingyu can still feel an anger that this woman tries too hard to cover.

"Where is he? Can I meet him?"

Mingyu tries to search for a rich vanilla and warm coconut's scent in this place and his heart beats achingly when he can't find any of it. Even the slightest.

The hatred in this woman's eyes is getting more intense and it's beyond her power to cover it up.

She mockingly smiles at Mingyu. "Wonwoo is not here."

What?

"He went back to Germany and won't ever return to this country."

No.

Mingyu doesn't believe it.

Wonwoo isn't leaving him.

Right?

To be continued
