Xiao's POV

I never thought of leaving Germany so fast. I lost my mom during an infiltration of dad's enemies into our house to capture him. From then on, dad has always been concerned about me.

As he have been asking me to return to Italy, I went back home. I knew I was gonna be locked there forever. But I don't know what made my dad change his mind. He said if I want to continue my career in Germany, then I am free to go back.

And here I am standing at the beach shore, back in Germany, enjoying the starry night.

When I went back to Italy, I left something here, but now I am not able to figure out what it was.

As I was walking along the shore, someone called me from behind. "Xiao?"

I turned around to look, and in the moonlight, I saw Taehyung's face.

"Taehyung?" I asked shocked.

He walked towards me. "I thought, you left Germany forever." He said standing next to me, facing the waves.

"I did, but not forever," I said with a smile.

"So, you're back for....?" he asked.

"Something..." I said.

"And what are you doing here at late night?" He asked me."Enjoying the moonlight," I said gazing at the moon that shone above us. "What about you?" I asked him.

"I'm always here when I feel uneasy. I always feel better after sitting here for a while." He said sitting down on the beach shore.

"And what made you feel uneasy now?" I asked sitting next to him.

"I don't know how to tell it. As you know, my life as a mafia boss is really dangerous, and I don't want to drag you into it. But it's hard to pretend like I don't love you." he said looking into my eyes. He continued, "I know your father is after us, and if found, he will kill all three of us. And maybe, you do not love me. But I wanted to tell you how I feel about you." He came closer, "I love you," and whispered in my ears, leaving me shocked.

After getting back to my senses, I spoke up, "If my father comes to know about what just happened here, nothing could stop him. And even if it's not a problem, we can never be together." I said.

"Why?" He asked.

"I- I... I don't like prostitutes. And I don't like people like Lissie trying to seduce..." I said with a gulp.

"It's because Lissie's a whore. But I don't have any connections with Lissie or anyone like that." He said.

"Well, In that case... I am willing to take risks with you by my side," I said with a smile looking into his eyes.

Unexpectedly, he pulled me into a hug.

I pushed him away, and asked, "What if Lissie comes to you again?"

He said, "Hm.. if she comes again..... I'll......."

"You'll....?" I asked.

"I'll... how about sharing her..... a cup of coffee?" he said and pulled me in for a long kiss on my lips, leaving butterflies to flutter in my tummy.

And then and there, I knew I found what I left behind here.
