Micheal

Micheal runs through an old forest, carrying a wrapped cloth in his arms — a child. He's chased by huge men and seems more concerned about his young child than himself. He leaps over obstacles in a way that seems unnatural… and so do the men chasing him.

The man confused his pursuers for a moment by climbing a tree nearby for safety, but one of them sees his reflection in a very dangerous-looking sharp dagger. He flings the dangerous dagger but the man dodged it easily, though this escape lands him right in the middle of three strong men.

They fought with Micheal for a while, and he leaps, twists, spills, and avoids injury without ever letting go of the little girl in his arms. He takes a few injuries but finally gets away from the captors, and when it's safe around him, he stops to get his breath and whispers to the little girl "We're almost there''.

The man gathers some sort of energy into his arm, and when he places it on a nearby tree, the energy ripples into the tree and then through the ground, infiltrating the nearby forest. Gathering speed, the energy races through the forest, igniting glowing, mystical symbols on any tree it touches.

The pursuers catch up, but the energy the man has put out has created some sort of barrier that distorts their perceptions while it protects him. They have no idea they're only a few feet from him and the little girl, and they finally turn and leave.

So many years later, a young man sleeps peacefully, while elsewhere giant posters of his face decorate a concert venue. He's Williams, an idol from a group called TheMobs. He apparently makes it a habit to sleep through rehearsals, as his manager is complaining lately about his latest absence in practice.

Williams wakes slowly, only coming to realize that his phone is ringing gently in his pocket. His ears ring as he finally hears his phone, but he makes the excuse to his irritating manager that the phone was on vibrate. When he hangs up, the ringing and pain in his ears worsen because of the phone call. A disease of the ear he has been battling for years.

Yet another handsome young man. He's James Patrick, walks through an airport, and groans, "Here we go again," when an army of suited men comes to greet him. He sees a photo of Williams modeling for his father's company, Tiger Group, and takes offense to the shape of the poster. At first, he got angry that the color hasn't changed just as he ordered, but when told his father, it seems he wanted it kept the same, he pretends that it was all the idea he brought.

This James Patrick is the son of a large Taiwan conglomerate. He imperiously orders the suited men to bug off, but he's told that they're here on the chairman's orders. One of the men comments that his grammar is very good because his mother is Taiwanese, and James' face goes quietly frowned. He doesn't even need to utter a threatening word— just his obvious displeasure is enough to have the man quaking.

James is expected to put in an appearance at Williams concert that night, which his father's company is sponsoring, but he declines the car his father sent for him in favor of his own expensive motorcycle which was brought from Thailand. He finally gets some alone time while riding it, taking in the sea air and almost certainly breaking several traffic laws… I'm sure he won't get away from that.

Later James calls his mother and promises to make his father proud and bring her back to Taiwan with him. He's not happy that she practically lives in exile, because she base in China for a very long time, but she's quick to tell him that she's moved. They make plans to meet at her new apartment in the morning, but she looks worried once they hang up.

As it turns out, Patrick's father is Hongkong, and they're planning to send James to private school instead of back to Thailand. Mom is concerned that it's a strange place, but Patrick's father tells her ominously to just do as she was told. After Mom is gone, Patrick's father tells his assistant that his son won't be easy to deal with. But he's determined to send him to this school, as it will make him useful since he's the one to take over the company. Well, we don't know what he meant yet.

James walks into a hotel room and sneers at the mess, and calls for someone to come clean up. Then proceeds to shed his clothes and leave them laying wherever he throws them.

He's startled when someone walks out of the bedroom — it's Williams, who still hasn't checked out of this room. The two half-clad youths stared at each other, neither wanting to be the first to react… and then Williams coughed, assuming that James is a jealous fan here to harass him.

A young girl, Michelle makes snacks by hand and brings them to a booth at the concert venue, but the lady running the booth complains that the spoiled Young wealthy kids here aren't buying their country food. Michelle doesn't let that get her down and says in a loud voice that these snacks are Williams's very favorite thing to eat. That gets the fans' attention, and it's only seconds before their booth is overrun.

James and Williams both call their men in to figure out this mistake, but neither boy is willing to concede to the other and move to another room. Williams is gobsmacked when James has no idea who he or The Mobs are. When he explains that they're the star act in tonight's concert sponsored by Patrick's company, He says that they can just be taken out of the show, then.

Williams looks momentarily stunned, then just laughs that he can rest tonight. Patrick's assistant tells him that Williams fans make up the majority of the festivalgoers, and they'll have to refund all that money if TheMobs concert cancels, but James is just all, That's fine, I have enough money.

Mention of his father's displeasure if that happens finally sways Patrick, and he's forced to relent, though you can tell it just kills him. But he pretends that he's being magnanimous, and warns Williams to be grateful and do his best tonight. He exits, accidentally taking Williams's jacket and leaving his own behind, and leaves Williams looking like he wants to bite someone.

Word of the boy's confrontation reaches the concert venue, where Williams's company CEO is furious with James for trying to throw his weight around with the talent. Williams's manager complains about his charge as well — he doesn't come to practice, he doesn't talk with the other members of TheMobs, and he never answers his phone. There's a rumor that he's about to jump ship to another management company, which would mean bankruptcy for his current company.

Michelle sells out of her snacks, and she thinks she sees a girl she knew in high school. When the girl doesn't turn at her call, Michelle figures it must not be her.

The one she thought about would never come to a place like this anyway.

The mystery girl makes a point to want to watch James as he throws his weight around at the VIP entrance (excuse me, VVVVVIP, ha), but he can't back it up because his company ID card is in the jacket he left in Williams's hotel room. He does find Williams's medicine dispenser, which is bad because Williams is backstage having a bad attack of pain and loud ringing in his ears.
