"Now is not the time for story telling, Maeri. You should go to bed." Yunho finally spared her a glance, removing his attention from the papers and onto his niece.

"But I can't sleep." she pressed her lips shut tightly in a thin line, nervously shifting by the door.

The elder looked at the painting by the corner for a few seconds, contemplating whether he ignores her or tell her what she wants to hear.

It wasn't the perfect time nor was it the right way but she was eventually going to find out and she already knew a few parts.

Yunho sighed in defeat and took his glasses off, tapping the edge of the table as a gesture for her to take a seat on one of the chairs on the other side, diagonal to him.

"Who are those people in the painting? I mean, aside from you and father." she rested her hands on her lap, already paying attention to what her uncle had to tell.

"To put it, we were partners in crime and we were inseparable since we were kids and grew up as the great heirs of TVXQ." Yunho passionately unfolded the beautiful yet tragic story behind the painting.

"Go go go go, hurry before we get caught!" Changmin ushered his friends as he helped them get in to the vent.

"Come on, Changmin!" Yunho reached his hand out for his friend and the younger reached out and took it.

Jaemi helped as well, pulling him up the vent and closing it underneath them.
