Jae Won couldn't stop laughing with what Samuel said. After managing to hold his laughter a little bit he said, "human needs to swore once in a while" after that slipped out his mouth, he saw the look on Samuel's face and he knew he had to rephrase it or else "and only grownups".
Samuel who thought he had gotten a free pass to swore was ripped of it before he could even come up with words.
"Seriously, how are you going to explain to mummy. What would we say when she asked what led to the fight huh?" Jae Won asked and they all made a face as though they were seriously thinking about it.
After what felt like a million years of thought, Samuel finally got an idea "what if it became our little secret? You know we tell no one" he said with a bright smile as though he has come up with a solution that could solve the world's problem.
Jae Won scoffed with that idea and knew it was bad. They might call them after they leave so it's better they tell them before they are exposed to the world.
"I have a better idea, we tell them you were punished but don't tell them what led to the fight claiming you don't want to talk about it and besides you had a good reason. That might help us a bit no you" he said with so much expectations in his eyes.
Samuel agreed to that but didn't forget to roll his eyes because he preferred to have kept it a secret. Someone cleared their throat to capture this two partner in crime's attention as they all turned to the direction the sound came from.
Jae Won who had forgotten he came with someone finally remembered after he saw James's face. Samuel gave him a glare as though he had done something bad to him in their previous life.
"And who are you?…..aaaah" Samuel asked with a smug on his face but later cried out when he was smacked on his head. What did he do to deserve this so he turned his gaze to meet Jae Won's.
"Respect…show some respect to your elder" Jae Won said making James laughed. Samuel pouted and he mumbled on some words "our country's culture has really bathed you" but Jae Won heard him and shot him a glare.
"Sorry, this is my classmate and his name is James. James this is my little brother and his is called Samuel or whatever you want to call him" after introducing them, he didn't wait for them to get to know each other, he send him packing back to his class.
James watch those two as though he was watching a comedy show with smiles plastered on his face. He stop laughing when Samuel went back to his class and Jae Won's attention was finally on him.
"Should we go get something to eat?" He asked but didn't wait for an answer when he began to walk out of the school to his parked car.
They drove off to a nearby high end restaurant that that wasn't joking about their job. They entered and Jae Won jaw literally dropped "wow" he said while he walked to area the waitress pointed at.
While James and Jae Won were ordering their food, Claudia was being questioned about Jae Won. Isabella who was now in good health for some days now was being threatened to spill on what Jae Won had been doing.
Threatened is a huge word but she was being bombarded with a lot of text when Gloria heard she was able to go back to school.
She loads lot of text asking about Jae Won but Isabella ignored her but it felt like she wouldn't stop if she doesn't do what she had asked.
And beside it's best if she answers her than to distract her in class. She has a lot to catch up while he was hospitalized. Claudia knew she had to help her so she answered every question of hers and made sure it wasn't about a personal matter and answered truthfully to her knowledge.
She finally heaved a huge relief when the question and answers period was over so she can now focus on what was yet to come, their exams.
Vincent who was ignored still felt like he was lonely so he took his phone to text Jae Won but before he could come up with words, his phone ding with a text from Akwasi "he now remembers he has a friend" Vincent mumbled to himself after he heaved a big sigh.
Akwasi, "well, well, I think you are about to get a girlfriend after a long time".
Vincent, "..."
"What are you talking about?"
Akwasi, "do you remember Deborah? The girl who sits at the back of the class every lectures. Yes, she told me she likes you and you know how beautiful she is? She is definitely your type so should I give her your contact?"
Vincent, "hell no, don't give her my number I'm trying to be….never mind but don't give her my number "
Akwasi,"why not, you are single aren't you?"
Vincent, "i have to go so and don't give her my number. You know tell her I'm not single anymore"
Akwasi, "...…."
The next few minutes was Vincent phone buzzing with calls from Akwasi who wanted the whole gist of Vincent not single again.
Why won't he? He has watched Vincent being single after year one till they are about to graduate and now all of a sudden he is not single anymore, who took pity on Vincent. Akwasi gave up on the tenth ring since Vincent didn't pick up. He knew ways he could find the truth.
Jae Won who was so full he couldn't breathe. "Thanks for the food which I'm probably not going to eat the rest of the day" he said.
"It's my pleasure. But do you have a girlfriend?" James asked making Jae Won jaw dropped. If he had said a boyfriend he would have said yes but girlfriend no.
"No, I don't have a girlfriend" he answered with his head lowered as though he was being interrogated.
"You are beautiful like this and I mean handsome and you don't have a girlfriend?" He immediately changed his words before any issues rise again.
"Yes, maybe they don't want a too handsome man. And do you have a girlfriend?" Jae Won asked James throwing him off his game.
"….Uurm, I don't have but I will have hit on you if you were a girl. Anytime I look at you my heart skips a beat" James shut his mouth before he says something he shouldn't.
"Are you flirting with me?" Jae Won asked with a smirk on his face. James smiled while he denied doing that.
Time passed by and Jae Won was dropped off at home but James couldn't believe his eyes. The mansion was huge it could contain a whole city of people.
Meanwhile, Vincent had closed and was hoping he could go straight to Charles's hospital but the problem is Emelia.
He had to drop her off before he could go to where he was eager to go. The drive back to the mansion was quiet which Vincent tried to make her talk but she didn't utter a single word.
It's as though Vincent was invincible and the car was on auto drive. Vincent gave up and peacefully drove her back home.
He didn't wait for a second when he drove away from the mansion and went straight to to Charles's work place.
He went straight to his office after he had a small talk with the nurse they met the other time.
Vincent just entered the office without knocking only to scare Charles who was let's not talk about that but he was not happy to be walked on like that.
"Have you heard about knocking?" Charles asked while he stopped what he was doing and walked towards the couch in his office.
"Oh I know about knocking but I don't want to" he said with a serious face. "Do you really like Jae Won?".
Charles chuckled, his voice a little shaky "wow, going straight to the point. I like it".
"Would you stop beating around the bush?" Vincent said with irritated voice "and answer the damn question".
"And why do you care if I like him" Charles asked staring at every emotion Vincent was was showing.
Before Charles would say what he couldn't have said to Jae Won to Vincent, he wanted to know where Vincent stands.
That's he want to take things further with Jae Won or he was just curious about being with a man.
Does he really like him before he would let go of Jae Won. "Uh huh, why do you care if l like Jae Won? Don't tell me 'because he is like my little brother shit'. I'm not buying that even if you make a good pitch" while looking at him as though he would vanish.
"Because he, he, he ..*heavy breath….because he is my boyfriend" Vincent said.
Charles, "...."
AN: Finally.
