Opens eyes. Looks aside. A sleeping body of Tai Taeyang.

“WHATTTT!!!!”

Tai Tai screams.

Tai Taeyang opens eyes from all the early morning screams of Tai Tai, “hey, good morning.” With a gentle smile. “Wh…what did you do to me last night?” Tai Tai inquires aggressively, looking down on his almost naked body, his chest and torso shining in the morning sunlight, giving off a very submissive aura. He proceeds to check himself in the mirror and discovers a lot of purple marks, and he immediately knows what these marks are. He shoots a sharp glare at Tai Taeyang. But Tai Taeyang looks at him in a flirtatious eyes.

“What do you think?” Tai Taeyang raises his brows. Tai Tai blushes and gets out of the room.

“Okay, so it’s time to find those books as many as possible.” Tai Taeyang, enters the well known Ruram Library, standing in front of the giant library door. He opens the door which caused him to invest some strength as the door was giant and very heavy to budge. Big and tall shelves filled with thin and thick books, music score sheets, rule books, and many other kinds of rolled bamboo sheets that neither of them had ever seen. Tai Taeyang can’t keep his mouth shut anymore, he gasps, “Wow, so many books! Who says there won’t be all the volumes.” He walks further inside and starts to search for the books.

BAM!!!

A loud noise. “What was that!” Tai Taeyang exclaims.

“Hey”, a cheerful voice comes echoing towards him.

Tai Taeyang stands in a defending position, keeping his guard up.

“AHHHH BROTHERRRR~ you forgot me? I am Lan.” He whines,”Ahhhh you already forgot me!!!!!” He is standing before a giant window, which shows, that this person named Lan came jumping inside the library through this giant window.

“Who? Lan?” Tai Taeyang’s eyes widen. “You can’t be Lan. He is long lost.” Tai Tai walks in, “Alright stop doubting.”

Tai Taeyang quickly starts quarrelling, “Why Would I stop doubting, a stranger, bursts inside, claiming he is Lan.” He continues, “Why would I stop quarrelling or fighting? Give a good reason for that.”

“Ahhh, Tai Tai save me.” The person claiming to be Lan, jumps and hides behind Tai Tai. “Hehe yes” Tai Tai smiles sweetly at the person. “Ming, he actually is Lan, our childhood friend.” Tai Tai looks at Tai Taeyang who is glaring at the person who is a stranger and yet claiming to be his childhood friend and on top of that he is clenching on tai tai’s sleeves and hiding behind Tai Tai pretending to be close with him. His glare is actually for the stranger being so touchy with his partner. He is willing to let go any stranger or anyone who did bad, but he will kill those who comes close to his partner. And this time he can’t even do anything because the partner himself is defending the stranger, even has a sweet smile on, which makes him even more angry. He goes to grab his sword, but get stopped my Tai Tai.

“Tai Tai. You’re believing this stranger too. Why? Did he give you something to eat or drink? Why would you trust this person.” Tai Taeyang gets frustrated. “Did you not know, Lan got lost a long ago. He is long gone, how can he come back?” Hearing Tai Taeyang say this, the person claiming to be Lan, stops moving like a child and stands still, “Did you not know how many times we’ve sent people to find for him? Did you forget everything?” Tai Taeyang’s eyes turns watery and so is the person’s, claiming to be Lan. Tai Tai notices how the person behind him stopped moving and at the same time how Tai Taeyang’s voice starting to shake. He decides to not keep Tai Taeyang in the dark.

“Fine. Let’s test him.” Tai tai suggests.

“Yes!” The person agrees too.

“Okay.” Tai Taeyang, with a shaky voice.

“Ask him questions” Tai Tai lets Tai Taeyang ask him questions.

Tai Taeyang hums.

“Who are you?”

“Lan.”

“Full name?”

“Only Lan. I don’t have any surname. Lan is my only name. one syllable name, isn’t it so convenient? Haha”

Tai Taeyang rolls eyes at his casualties and Tai Tai smiles.

“Where are your parents and where do you live?” Tai Taeyang asks.

“My parents are dead.” Lan looks down, being a little sad. “As for living. I used to live here when I was a child. I was your classmate and a close friend too.”

“How did your parents die?”

“They were killed by The Suns and The Moons for breaking rules.”

Tai Taeyang’s eyes become watery. One blink and the tears will start falling like a waterfall. Tai Taeyang hugs Lan, “Sorry, I suspected you. I am such a bad friend.”

“It’s okay. It’s okay. It happens. After all I am the one who left you all.” Lan smiles bitterly. His eyes, red.

“Where were you these days” Tai Taeyang asks.

“That’s a long story.” Lan smiles.

“Ming, Lan. Come, let’s have something to eat first.” Tai Tai takes both of them outside the library.

Tai Tai and Lan walking side by side.

“Tai Tai how are you?” Lan asks “you got really pretty now. When I left Taiyang City, you were pretty. But now you’ve grown even more pretty.” He continues, “what’s your secret?”

Tai Tai laughs, in loss of words.

In the other side Tai Taeyang grumbles, huh flirting with my man. How dare he? shamelessly. “Look at you shamelessly flirting with him. Don’t think I spared you because you came back. I won’t let you go if you hit on him.”

“So what? What is it to you?” Lan sneers at him.

Tai Tai smiles secretly seeing the two getting along, “It’s okay Ming. Let him be,”

“Tai Tai, you take him to eat I will go back to the library.” Tai Taeyang suggests. Tai Tai agrees, “Okay. Let’s go Lan.”

“Bye brother Tae” Lan teases Tai Taeyang by calling him Tae instead of his full name.

Tai Taeyang avoids him and heads back towards the library. “Now let’s officially start my searching."
