Just the voice really got his heart beating like a thief who has been caught not by a police officer but his or her crush. Hahaha, don't mind me. Jae Won thought Vincent had been single for almost three years and in not less than a day a voice that beautiful is calling out to him and not only mentioning his real name, she is calling him 'baby'.
'What the hell" he thought, his mind teasing at him. How long is he going to keep this feelings bottled in him, it might explode one day.
As they all turned to look at the voice calling out to him including the food vendor. They turned to see the bright smile of beautiful girl whose smile can send a suicide bombers running back to their home that life is beautiful.
She not only have a beautiful smile, she shows a confident demeanor. Her natural beautiful hair is a crown itself, like a lush, thick of tightly coiled curls. Her eyes sparkled with warmth and kindness even Jae Won couldn't take his eyes off of her "she is beautiful" he said.
"Oh yeah, she is" Vincent said worsening the case for Jae Won. Jae Won turned to look at Vincent and back at the girl as he glare at them. The girl smiled so wildly when her eyes met with Vincent and immediately run into his arms as they enveloped themselves in a tight hug.
Jae Won, "….."
"What's with this people and hugging. I thought only Americans do that often" he mumbled under his breaths not allowing him to be heard. Jae Won rolled his eyes like a side chick whose main is being pampered in front of them. He then focus on his eating and decided not to pay attention to them.
"And don't you come to school after a week of resuming? What happened for you to come to school this early?" Vincent asked as a smirk lurked around the corner of his lips.
"Don't give me that look" the girl said but her gaze fell on the Korean who was sitting at the table busily eating his food. She looked at Jae Won and back at Vincent in a back and forth motion like a aping- pong ball bouncing between them.
Her expression begs the question who is this? But she couldn't take her eyes off Jae Won as that handsome smooth face of his captivate every living soul heart.
She turned to look at Vincent with introduce us will you written on his face. Vincent cleared his throat as they walked towards the busy body whose focus was on the food but his attention was on the two and trying to make meaning of what they were saying.
They say jealous lover don't rest, I guess it's true. If Jae Won had bit on a fish bone, he wouldn't have noticed and will gladly swallow it. Well that's a bit much or?
As they walked towards Jae Won, he felt their presence and raise his head to see the smiling lady looking at him like a food. 'I don't think I will like what's gonna happen' he thought.
"Jae Won, meet my friend and also my classmat…." but he was rudely cut off by the girl "and I've been chasing him to be my boyfriend for two years now" she said, her voice sounded prideful making Jae Won choked on his food.
Vincent hurriedly took a bottle of water and gave it to Jae Won. "Was that necessary?" Vincent asked but the girl nodded.
"Emelia, meet Jae Won, my brother and friend" he said. Emelia immediately sat besides Jae Won "Jae Won right? Now that I've met you, I can finally let go of Vincent and ask you to be my boyfriend and beside you are a Korean. I love Koreans" she said as Vincent rolled his eyes like a disinterested actor who was given the role he didn't audition for.
"I've chased him for years now and it doesn't look like he will accept me now…..how about you date me so that he will be jealous" she said as she took a different spoon and started eating with Jae Won.
Vincent went back to his eating so as the food vendor who went back to his selling. Emelia is a classmate of Vincent. The first time Vincent asked his fake friends where the administration was, she was watching him from afar.
Emelia fell in love at first sight with Vincent and decided to take his shot. But before she could act on it, she heard rumors of Vincent hitting in another girl. What really hurt her was the fact the girl was not interested and was stressing Vincent.
Emelia saw that as a sign to shoot her shot but unfortunately she heard they were dating now. What could she possibly do, just to watch him from afar.
Before the end of the first year she heard they were no longer dating and this really was the most fantastic news she could ever hear.
Emelia decided to make Vincent hers. First, she seated next to him during lectures and made sure they exchanged a few words before the end of the lectures. Finally, Vincent felt comfortable around her and so did she.
Emelia waited till they were in the second year and the second semester did she finally confessed her feelings to Vincent hoping that could work out. But all that was her wishful thinking.
At first she ignored him and made sure their paths never met. Later, she had a change of heart and that means, she sworn to hit on him till he finally gave in but it seems that is not happening now.
Even though Vincent knows her intentions towards him but he still consider her as a friend. Emelia hadn't done anything to warrant a rift in their friendship even though her intentions are clear. That's why Vincent still keeps her close to him and even consider her a sister.
Now at the present, Emelia had managed to eat all the food with Jae Won and had to order another plate. "Do you wanna go watch a movie with me at the cinnema hall?" Emeila asked, her tone indifferent.
Jae Won turned to look at Vincent for confirmation but Vincent was busy fighting with his chicken on the plate. Jae won responded "okay, but isn't it late?".
"No, dear. As long as we are still on this campus, we can walk freely even when it's 2 am. Security is 24/7, so we are safe" she said. This got Vincent attention from his meat "what are you guys talking about?" Vincent asked.
Jae Won repeated in Korean and it seems like Vincent understood clearly. While her face surprised like a kid who had just seen a magic trick for the first time. Her mouth was wide open like a saucer with her jaw dropped falling down. Jae Won had to closed her mouth before you know what could happen.
"Did you just speak Korean? When did you even learnt it? Don't tell me you learnt it within these three months" she kept bombarding them with question leaving no room for response.
"Can't you fucking answer me?" She growled her eyes turning red. "I did learn it on my own but meeting Jae Won had perfected it" Vincent answered. She turned to look at Jae Won flustered face as she laughed "don't tell me you can speak Twi too" she said waiting for a response.
"Uurm, just a little bit" Jae Won answered. She finally got over the shock and they went ahead to watch their movie. The cinema hall was so big it could contain the whole students if they all wanted to watch a movie.
They finally left the hall and it's was almost 1 am. "What? How long was the movie?" Jae Won asked as Vincent and Emelia chuckled at the same to his question.
They went ahead and walked Emelia to his hostel/dormitory before they left for theirs. A few minutes later, they were back at their humble abode.
Vincent felt stuffy so he had to go wash up. And when he came back a few minutes later, Jae Won had changed into his night wear and with surprised look on Vincent's face he asked "aren't you going to wash up?".
Jae Won roll over Vincent's bed before he answered "I washed up before we went out. So I don't feel dirty". Vincent sighed as he walked towards Jae Won and tried to pull him out of bed "come on, you need to wash up. The food vendor's place was filled with smoke so".
But Jae Won still wanted to sleep in. This made Vincent used an alternative way to lure him into the washroom "if you don't go wash up, you can't sleep beside me" he said, his voice sounded threatening making Jae Won run into the bathroom in a fast pace.
Jae Won had finished taking his bath and came out with just a towel wrapping around his waist. He didn't think much of it only to be met with Vincent gaze sizing his body up "what?" Jae Won asked.
Vincent stood up from the bed and slowly walked straight to Jae Won and touched the delicate skin of Jae Won. As his fingertips danced across Jae Won's skin, he traced the contours of his body with a soft and caressing touch sending a tingling sensation all over Jae Won's body.
"Uurm…wha…what are…" he tried to speak as his breath came in short, strained gasps like a wheezing whisper unable to speak but instead Vincent spoke
"Why does this feel like a deja vu?" while he kept touching Jae Won's body like an addict.
Jae Won finally breathe as his heart started pounding 'is he going to remember?' He thought. He was happy and at the same time scared. What will be his reaction if he remembered they kissed.
