"Cheers to our friend here who has step into the pool of love" said by Soo Young who raised a glass of wine in mid air waiting for the others to join.
The three of her friends joined as they raised their glass up almost to cheer on when the main character whom the cheers was for hasn't even raise her glass.
With stares coming her way, she chuckled as a small genuine smile escaped her lips and without hesitation, she raised her glass and "cheers" was heard as they all sang it like a choir in a Cathedral.
Hana managed to break free of her friends as she clenched to her bag tightly as though someone would take it from her. Before she could come out of the front door of the restaurant she heard her name and immediately turned to the voice calling out.
"Hana, do you want us to go together?" asked Soo Young when she saw her leaving. She wanted to stay a bit longer there but she can't since her best friend wanted to go home.
But Hana saw the look on her face and knew she wants to stay more and didn't want to stop her from enjoying.
"No need, just stay with them as long as you can. Besides we are always together instead of them so spend more time. Oh and be careful not to get drunk" said Hana with a bright smile.
Even though she knew they all talked about her behind her back but she still loves her best friend very much. She sees her as a second sister of hers and would be very sad if something bad happens to her.
Soo Young smiled back at her while she walked towards the friend seated at the table while talking and lo and behold, they were talking about Hana which she cleared her throat grasping their attention.
Hana walked towards her parked car with the driver dozing off. Don't blame him, he hasn't slept well for the past few days since Hana can be selfish sometimes. Calls her anytime of the day be it night, dawn but she had a good heart.
Sounds of knocking woke up our sleepy driver but Hana didn't get angry. Instead she gestured for the driver to roll down the glass and when he did, "I'm going to get something for my stomach. I didn't eat much while I drunk the wine. I will be back shortly go on and sleep some more."
As she said this she already took one step away from the parked car and was walking to the convenience store across the restaurant.
It a 24 hours running store so it didn't matter how late it was you would still get something to buy. Hana went in and bought a few things before she came out only to bump into someone.
As they bumped into each other, Hana felt a sharp sting on her right arm. Before she could process where the sharp pain came from, she heard a voice pierced through the cold breeze "I'm so sorry miss, I wasn't looking" said a deep but soothing voice which really sounded so sincere.
She raise her head but couldn't make out the face since the cap and the face mask covered all his face. "Don't worry, I wasn't looking either" said Hana as they began packing the things she had bought into the plastic bag.
"I'm really sorry" said the mask man again this time placing his hand on top of Hana's wrist. Hana who didn't think of anything bad towards this gentleman who has even help her with her stuffs just smiled at him.
"Don't worry, accidents happened" said Hana now turning her back to the man as she began to crossed the road and walked to her car.
Meanwhile the masked man still stood there as he watch Hana entered her car. With an intense look, a devious smile crept at the corner of his lips before he began to walk away. The reason he came here was completed and it was time for it to unfold.
Vincent and and Akwasi was lying on the bed which Vincent took out his phone and began looking at the videos he made with Jae Won especially the remaining few days they had.
A smile crept up his face which send shivers down Akwasi's spine. "Seriously, I still can't believe you are head over heels with a boy. It's as though you weren't the one constantly chasing that girl of yours back at year one…ooops" said Akwasi but with the last part being said because Vincent had shot a dangerous glare at him. He has no choice than to save his neck thus he said that.
Vincent turned over with his back facing Akwasi as he glanced through the videos and pictures till tears started running down his cheeks.
Akwasi who heard sniffing coming from Vincent, "...."
"Love is indeed a weapon" muttered Akwasi before he lay on his back till sleep swept over him.
As the morning sun permeated through the apartment, Vincent was already awake humming to a song that was playing on his phone.
Akwasi who was still asleep because there was still time before they go meet Jae Won was annoyed of the noise.
With a lidded eyes "are you kidding me? It's barely 6am and you are already awake" said Akwasi as he covered his entire body with the guilt as he groaned painfully under the guilt till he fell asleep again.
A few hours later, he woke up only to hear chatting sounds coming from outside his door. He yawned and stretched as he open the door.
His eyes met with a cute lady who was in her mid twenties as she was talking to Vincent. They all turned their head to his direction and with an questionable gaze that was asking "who is she?" written on his face.
Vincent didn't hesitate as he spoke in the native language to Akwasi. "This is my translator who will be speaking to me In English while the rest communicate in Korean."
Akwasi, "..."
"You hired a translator?" asked Akwasi this time in English as he forgot to speak in the native language. Vincent nodded responding to his question seconds ago.
"But you can…..mmm" said Akwasi with his words getting stuck in his throat because of a gesture Vincent had done earlier. Vincent walked towards him and whispered into his ear "I told you I have a plan. This is one of it and besides I'm not perfect with the language since I find some words difficult" said Vincent with a sly smile.
"Where is Seungjo? Don't tell me he didn't come home last night" asked Akwasi as he looked around and couldn't find him.
Vincent chuckled as he shook his head, "he is going out to buy some breakfast for us. He overslept so he couldn't wake up early" answered Vincent.
Akwasi went ahead and took his bath and when he was done, Seungjo was back with a breakfast they could eat which he thank God for.
But curiosity swept over him as he asked "so how did Jae Won managed to eat our foods?" A glare was shot in his direction but it's already too late.
"We sometimes cooked Korean foods for him" answered Vincent which got the lady and Seungjo confused. Who was Jae Won and what are they talking about?
Seungjo curiously asked "who is Jae Won?" But before he could wait for an answer, a ding sound interrupted them as he glanced at his phone.
He immediately rose form the chair as he hurriedly put on something comfortable "I'm going out to meet a client" Seungjo walked towards the door as he steps paused and looked back "good luck for today."
Akwasi and Vincent, "...."
Breakfast ended and they prepared for the meeting ahead. Vincent was so excited and nervous at the same time.
Even though he had used a business meeting to meet up with Jae Won but his only focus was the part in seeing him.
He thought of that since he can disguise himself as a business partner without getting suspected before he knows what is happening.
With the black SUV Vincent had already hired throughout their stay, it pulled up in front of the door. Akwasi was stunned with whatever that was happening.
He moved closer to Vincent and whispered to him "you really had planned all this. Wow, what love can do" said Akwasi with a tease smile but before the smile could end his head was smacked and a groaned escape his lips.
He shot a glare at the culprit who didn't even wait for him to finish grieving as he had entered the SUV which the translator entered after him.
Akwasi, "...."
"Really? Is that how you are going to play it. Damn it, I should have brought my woman with me" complained Akwasi as he slowly walked towards the SUV
