Chapter 4 - Confusing Feelings

Incheon International Airport
South Korea

Vincenzo flicked his lighter as he watched Seoul's night skyline from the airplane's window. His private jet has just landed a few minutes ago.

"Good evening, Mr. Cassano. Welcome to Incheon International Airport, sir. The local time is 8.45 in the evening and the temperature is 19.5 degrees Celcius. For your safety and comfort, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until we have parked at the gate and it is safe for you to move about. Thank you for trusting me with this flight and have a pleasant stay at South Korea, sir."

Vincenzo glanced at his watch and adjusted the time to match South Korea's local time. He turned on his phone and a few messages popped up. One was from his sister and the other one was from Park Jihong. He opened the latter first.

'Hey bullhead, by the time you read this message, you should've landed. Come get your ass down here and meet me at Seoul Memorial Hospital. You will face the consequences if you don't.'

Vincenzo chuckled at the message he got from his cousin. "That moron," he mumbled to himself.

"Sir, the car is ready," Luca announced. Vincenzo nodded and stood up, quickly exiting the plane as he nodded at the captain and the cabin crew. "It's one smooth flight, David," Vincenzo patted the pilot's shoulders, making the said man smiled in return. Vincenzo quickly made way toward the car who had been waiting outside the jet.

"Where to, Sir?" Luca glanced at Vincenzo from the rearview mirror. "Seoul Memorial," he stated.

Vincenzo entered the bar. It was too crowded for him. He instantly cursed at Park Jihong who made him come to such place. It was clearly somewhere very much below a Vincenzo Cassano's standard. If it weren't for his cousin, he would never stepped foot into places like this.

Vincenzo looked around. He noticed that there were a lot of hospital workers. A group in particular caught everyone's attention as they were very loud.

"Tsk," Vincenzo groaned in annoyance and scanned the bar again as he made way through the packed tables and people walked around with beers. It was chaotic but everyone seemed to have a good time, except for Vincenzo of course.

He bumped into some people and he just glared at them, brushing off his shirt until someone hit his chest, hard.

Vincenzo was holding everything together to not curse at this lady.

"Move," he said. The woman moved but she fell into him again, causing Vincenzo to curse under his breath. A man furiously bowed at the both of them and quickly left.

"VIN! There you are!" Upon hearing his name, Vincenzo turned to the man who called him. I swear I will kill this man, how dare he told me to come to such filthy place, Vincenzo thought.

"Dr. Hong!" Park Jihong said and the woman who hit Vincenzo's before looked at him. "You know each other?"

Vincenzo finally looked at the woman, he could see her face clearly now. She has pretty eyes, Vincenzo thought. Vincenzo's eyes widened upon hearing his own thought and was quick to reply a "No", in unison with the lady in front of him.

Park Jihong laughed. "What a coincidence, huh?"

"Ah I need to go to the restroom, nice to meet you dr. Park, if you'll excuse me," Hong Chayoung smiled politely. "Sure, sure, go ahead," Park Jihong said.
