Vincent was walking down the street of Seoul admiring its beauty with his phone he had replaced the moment he step foot in the country being held in his hand as he was pressing on his phone.
It was evening with the breeze brushing his skin making him feel chilly and the light brightening the streets of Seoul but he still wanted to check out the places since he was in the country already even though it was cold.
His focus was on the phone that he was not watching where he was being headed to. He almost bumped into an old lady but he was immediately pulled back before he could cause an accident sending someone's old lady into the nearest cemetery.
The old lady who was about to kissed the ground couldn't help herself but reprimand him "now adays kids are always watching their phone. Not sure what's so interesting that they don't mind killing someone". As she murmured to herself she turned the corner of the road which was a dark alley.
Vincent couldn't help but fear for the old lady passing through that alley. After he watched the old lady figure disappeared into the darkness he now turned to whoever pulled him back.
Vincent, "..."
"What are you doing here? Didn't you say you were resting even though I still don't understand why you needed rest since you have done nothing to result….never mind" said Vincent.
"You've been grumpy these few years and it seems like it's not going away now. Wow what love can do to people. Now everybody is afraid to get close to you" said Akwasi. Yes it is him.
"If Jae Won had broken up with you shouldn't you find a cute little boy and cultivate feeling for and stop being this way…ouch" cried Akwasi with the last being said because he was pinched on his arm.
"We've not broken up yet" said Vincent as he hurried his steps. "Says someone who tried dating someone" this was uttered by Akwasi but he got a glare from Vincent which he regretted.
"I only did that because I was so angry at him and wanted to get over him after two years of not hearing from him but I realized I couldn't do that. And I know there had to be a reason why I don't hear from him for these few years and I believe there is more to it."
"Wow, what a loyal prick. He left you that's why he has been ignoring you these years." Akwasi continued but he was ignored but didn't stop him from mumbling on "every message you sent these few years shows he had been reading but no replies."
Since he knew about Jae Won and Vincent he had always been supportive of them but the past few years Vincent hadn't been himself.
He had been complaining about every little thing he sees not fit and also had become short-tempered which wasn't in his DNA and always show irritation or annoyance unnecessarily.
This started after a few months Jae Won went back to Korea. The first three months was like a honeymoon to them. Chatting continuously, video chatting. His head was always lowered because he was always on his phone.
His parents couldn't help but scold him to reduce it but he was deeply in love and was always smiling to his workers, this shows signs of someone deeply in love.
After five months, he couldn't hear from Jae Won again and all his message he had sent was being read. This really made him mad that was why he decided to date a new person because he thought Jae Won wanted to end things with him.
But after a while he remembered what Jae Won had told him about something happening within his family which made Vincent let go of his hard feelings towards Jae Won.
He then made up his mind to go to Korea and see for himself which made him work three times harder than he should be and also became grumpy.
Now if he set foot in the company, heads are finding ways not to crossed path with him since they want to go home with their head intact and their limps exactly where they were before they came work.
Mr Jonathan tried talking to him but he found a way to end the conversation before it even started.
He announced his vacation to Korea which shocked the family including Akwasi who had no idea what he was up to.
He managed to know what Vincent had planned after much persuasion which he later wanted to join this vacation.
Even though Vincent wasn't on board with Akwasi's decision but he was convinced later which resulted into Akwasi following him to Korea.
"You didn't answer my question. I asked what you are doing here?" said Vincent stopping in his tracks as he turned to Akwasi which he almost bumped into Vincent.
"Well, I followed you because you might pick a fight with someone since you've been grumpy a lot. So I'm here as your protector" said Akwasi with a bright smile which resulted with a small smile appearing at the corner of Vincent's lips.
His furrowed brows was loosened a bit as he quickly turned away. "Did you just smile. If I was told there will come a day when I will hardly see your smile, I would have burried the person alive and cursed his or her entire generation."
After walking around for a while, they went back to where they were staying and saw someone pacing by the gate like he a desperate husband.
"Who is that?" asked Akwasi but he was smacked on his head. With a glare shot on Vincent's way which was ignored by the way and he wasn't surprised by it anymore. Vincent talked less and less by with each day.
"That's Seungjo. Can't you even recognize someone you have been staying with for the past few days?"
Akwasi pouted his lips like a kid denied of his precious candy. "How am I supposed to know when he…never mind go meet your newest best friend. As for me I will just stay in my lane minding my own damn business" said Akwasi while he kicked some invincible air.
Vincent shook his head in disbelief as he walked past him. This grasp the attention of Seungjo as he run towards Vincent.
The moment he got to Vincent, he grasp his wrist to check every part of his body which wasn't new to them. He worried a little too much compared to his real mother.
Seungjo acts as though they already knows each other and worries so much when it came to Vincent.
"Vince, where have you been? I've been worried afraid something might have happened to you" said Seungjo as he got a roll of the eyes from Akwasi.
"And why would you be worried about him? It's not like he is a kid when he is almost thirty years but here he was being taken care of as though he is a kid. And why would you think something would happen to him? He can take care of himself" said Akwasi.
For some reason he couldn't stand Seungjo which he had been complaining about to Vincent but he wasn't listening.
"Akwasi!! Your language. Is that how you act to someone who has been helping us the moment we landed at the airport? He even brought us to his house without paying for anything and has fed us these few days."
"Instead of being rude to him, you should be thanking him every seconds." Said Vincent but Akwasi folded his arms across his chest as he tap on the ground with right foot while he was cursing in his head with a shot in his eyes.
Seungjo was the one they met the moment they landed in the country. As they came out of the airport, looking around for a taxi to go to their hotel.
Seungjo approached them and offered to take them to their destination. While on the way they began talking which Seungjo offered them to come stay in his house. He had two bedrooms which Akwasi and Vincent could share one if they didn't mind of course.
Akwasi immediately rejected it as he couldn't trust someone that they had just met. And he was too friendly which he find it suspicious.
On the other hand, Vincent turned to Akwasi as they spoke in their native language. After a while Akwasi accepted so they went to the hotel to cancel for the reservation and later took them to his house.
From then in, Seungjo treats Vincent kindly as though he is wife. He made sure everything he needed was provided for and smile wildly at Vincent whenever they are talking.
This made Akwasi suspects he might have feelings for Vincent but how was that possible when they just met a few days ago.
Even though there had been love at first sight which he doesn't believe in obviously because of lack of experience.
He swore he would believe such things if he actually experience some which he thought won't ever happened, never because it's not real.
