Emelia who was giving wierd looks from them turned to look at Vincent who was still standing there like a statue had the same look as Jae Won and Charles.
"Oh come on, can't I say you are hot" she said in a gritted teeth and a low voice as if she will be punished if someone other than them heard her.
"Thank you, you are beautiful too" said by Charles which he really meant it. "Why don't you come in for a glass of water" she suggested but Charles declined it since he was on his way back to the hospital.
"Oh it's just a glass of water since you are a hardworking man and friend of Vincent" Emelia insisted which she succeeded. Charles got down from his car and open the door for Jae Won to come out.
All this happened right in front of Emelia "wow and a gentleman too. I bet your girlfriend is the most luckiest girl" she said.
Charles who had been praised too much that evening lean in towards Jae Won ears and whispered "is she flirting with me? I thought you said Vincent was his boyfriend".
Jae Won turned to look at him and smiled as he nodded in agreement "she is but they are keeping it on low". Emelia skillfully pulled Charles towards the living room and not forgotten to glare at Vincent from his head to toe "couldn't you greet your friend. You are behaving like he is a stranger".
Emelia pulled him into the living room and gestured he sat down on the couch. In a few strides, here she was holding a glass of water as she gave it to Charles.
Charles stood up after he had finished the glass of water and about to seek permission to go when he was interrupted by Emelia "Vince, why are you standing at the corner? Isn't he your friend and not even a nod to greet him. Why is he your enemy and not friend anym…".
"Uuuurm, miss that's not the case so" but he was interrupted again by the same person.
"Then why has he been so restless since the moment Jae Won left. He was pacing here and there like Jae Won has been sent to the enemy for negotiation and he was afraid things wouldn't go as planned" Emelia said.
Vincent lowered his head as his not so secret had been revealed in a matter of some minutes. Charles turned to look at him as a smirk lurked at the corner of his mouth "did he?" He asked.
Charles turned to look at Emelia and smiled and in a husky tone "he is just worried for his brother that is all" said by Charles as they both turned to look at Vincent.
Charles slowly walked up to Vincent and said "your girlfriend here is pretty and worried more about you. Where did you get such a wonderful woman by your side?".
Charles moved a little closer to Vincent and brushed an invisible dust from his shirt which Vincent had a bad premonition "but now I've gotten a chance t…." but he was interrupted yet again.
"A chance for what?" Emelia asked, It seems Emelia was good at interrupting peoples conversation all the time as she has interrupted him more than twice this few minutes he had spend with them.
Charles chuckled as he turned to look at Emelia "miss here seems to like interrupting people when they are speaking".
"No, no… oh. I guess I didn't know I had such a character. I'm sorry about that" she apologized. Vincent turned to look at her and back at Vincent as he smiled "a chance to win back someone I like" he answered. But Emelia was confused, what has winning back someone he liked got to do with Vincent or anyone here right now.
But before she could ask a question to clear her confusion Charles spoke "I will take my leave now. My patients are patiently waiting for me" he said as he turned to go but he didn't forget to glance at the direction of Jae Won and gave him a nod like everything was going to be okay.
Jae Won hurriedly followed him out of the living room towards the car that was parked outside "young sir, are you going out with him again" asked by the security man who was curious since Jae Won just came back.
"No, I'm just asking him a question" Jae Won answered. He rushed to Charles and turned to look back and saw both Vincent and Emelia looking at him like he was some kind of magician performing on a stage.
"Why did he had such a face?" Jae Won curiously asked but all he got was a smile from Charles and a not so answer "don't worry, it has just began".
After he said that, he started his car and drove off while he waved at Jae Won. Jae Won walked back to them and rubbed his tummy "I hope there is still dinner because I'm so hungry I could eat an elephant" he said as he walked into the living room.
Vincent and Emelia followed him as he entered the kitchen hoping to get some food to eat. "Didn't you eat dinner while you were with him?" Vincent finally spoke after a long time.
Jae Won turned to look at him and smiled "no, he was so busy and I too was so engrossed in my conversation with a cute nurse I didn't feel hungry till now" he truthfully answered.
"Oh here it is…jollof" he said as he raised a plate of jollof covered nicely as if it was was kept for him. "Vincent insisted Beatrice to keep some for you and not put all in the fridge" Emelia spilled out the not so secret again.
Jae Won turned to look at Vincent and smiled at him. All this little gestures makes him wonder if Vincent really has no feelings for him but such thought vanish instantly as he recalled he now has a girlfriend which was the reality as Emelia wrapped her arm around Vincent waist claiming territory.
After putting a two spoonful of the jollof in his mouth he looked around "but where are the rest?" Jae Won asked.
Emelia was pissed instantly recalling what had happened. "They went to watch a movie together at the mall. They said since it was weekend and I really wanted to go but Vincent here insisted he was waiting for you and wouldn't go. That's because you will come back and meet an empty building" she said, her face clearly not so friendly now.
Why won't she be mad, she wanted to have a family time with his future family and she lost the chance to do that all because her boyfriend here was waiting for his brother.
She turned to look at Vincent "you have to take responsibility" she said as she walked up to him.
"How?" Vincent asked hoping it's not something serious. "By having an evening stroll with me this evening right now" she said.
"But Jae..." he was interrupted again "no but but.. Jae Won is a grown up and can take care of himself. And besides, the security man is here and there would be no problem" she said as she pulled him towards the stairs so they could find something more convenient to wear outside.
They came down after a few minutes and Vincent hesitantly walked to the door "do you want to come with us?" Vincent asked but before Emelia could speak Jae Won did "no, I don't want to be the third wheel. I'm gonna sit here and have fun by myself. Take care" he said the last part in Korean and there was a bit of emotions to it.
They finally left the living room and Emelia asked "what did he say?". But Vincent faked ignorance and still asked "what are you talking about?".
Emelia sighed "what did he say in Korean. The last sentence was clearly spoken in Korean and I'm asking what it meant".
Vincent didn't want to say anything but if he didn't there was no way he was going to have a peace of mind this evening "he said we should take care".
"Oh that's nice of him" Emelia said back clearly not aware it was only meant for Vincent.
On the other hand, Jae Won was eating his dinner mindlessly as his mind and soul was somewhere far away and was brought back when the spoon fell from his hand to the floor.
"Shit" he swore as he picked up the spoon and put the rest of the food in the fridge, "I've lost my appetite now" he said.
He went back to his room and decided to watch a movie to distract him from all kinds of thoughts and in a two hours he slept off.
For a while he heard a faint knock on his door but since he was fast asleep he ignored it. But a few minutes later, he felt a presence in his room and and that presence was getting closer and closer to him while his lips was been stroked.
He open his half lidded face and he was, staring at Vincent whose face was an inch closer to his.
"What are you doing?" Jae Won asked.
"I'm not doing anything" Vincent answered still his face was close to Jae Won.
Jae Won, "..."
"Then why is your face so close to mine" he asked.
Vincent who now has realized what he almost did stood up from the floor where Jae Won was sleeping comfortably as he cleared his throat.
"Nothing, I was just killing a mosquito for you" he said but clearly Jae Won didn't believe me.
"Hahaha, like seriously oh thank you?" He said in a sarcastic tone with I don't believe you look on his face.
"Really" Vincent answered.
