The Forgotten Scent

Chapter 3: Carnival

Thanks for Krisa's distraction I took all my things from Jay and quickly check Heeseung's message.

Can we have a video call?
Avy?? Are you busy?
Avy babyyy?? 🥺
Notice me pleaseeee

As soon as I read his messages I texted him

Hee?? Are you asleep??

He replied immediately after seeing my message

No... Not yet... I can't sleep

I'll call you

I immediately called him before he changes his mind. And he answered it

"Should we go to the Carnival?" Jay asked me from the back

"ahhh?" I told Jay and Heeseung replied

"Hmmm??" he said

"Nothinggg don't mind that **smiles**~~ Are you sleepy?" I asked him

"noo... It's toooo early," he said

"Why didn't you tell me about Jay," I told him

"I also got to know it when he is going on board. They kept it from me" he said as he pouted

"Don't be mad okay? But to tell you honestly... Jay is studying here in my school and his schedule is the same as mine. I don't know where he lives but I sure hope that he is not my neighbor or something" I joke around and someone answered from the back

"Actually we're neighbors" Jay came and clung his hand on my shoulder

Heeseung's reaction was a bit uneasy and mad about what Jay did but he kept it cool. He just smiled

"Jay... You should sleep and have a day off before going to school. Aren't you tired?" Heeseung asked him

I was moving his hand away but he was holding on to me tightly.

What is he doing?

"No, I'm not... I'm just a studious person that's why I went here directly" Jay winked at him

"We really are not neighbors..." I told Heeseung again

"yahh!! You lived in **tells the address** and mine was **tells the address but the house number is 1 number difference" Jay said,

"how come?" I asked Jay

"I did some research and My father was a friend of your mother once... We are actually arranged with each other since you and I were born" Jay said while we are having a video call with Heeseung

My heart beats faster than before because Jay was talking about it in front of Heeseung.

"Yeah! I would rather go single all my life rather than ending up with you" I bring my tongue out and got him out of the call

"Hee... Don't be bothered about what Jay has said. As you know, he is practically a joker" I told him and that made him smile

"I miss you so much Avy" he said with his sleepy voice

"aww~ you should rest... It must have been a tiring day for you" I told him as I acted like I'll kiss him

"hmmm" he said and was sleeping

He sleeps a lot

I didn't end the call with him because I love watching him sleep. He's like an angel while he sleeps, his visuals never change.

I kept my earphones on and it was connected to my phone. I head to the library because I have a meeting with my secretary in South Korea to discuss the company's issues that need to be addressed and that need improvement.

I called her using my laptop and she quickly answered.

"A pleasant evening Mina... Have an update?" I asked

"Would you like to hear the good news or the bad news?" she stated

"I'd like to hear the bad news first" I responded as I took a glance at Heeseung on my phone.

"To tell you honestly... Your far uncle is trying to amend claims to your father's company" she said

"far uncle?" I asked again

"ohhh welllll... He said his grandfather is your great grandfather's sibling" she said

"why must he create a commotion when my great-grandfather entitled it to my grandfather," I asked

"he told the board of directors to replace you because you are still a teenager and have no experience at all in leading a company. He also said that he won't let their company business fail" She said

"Never mind him... I am miles away from the company because it was to impress the board of directors on how will I handle the sales here" I told her

"But we should put him into consideration because it will take him days to convince the board to join his hand," she said

"Then I should start working then," I told her

"Don't stress yourself ma'am" She said and I end my call with her

How come they are showing up now?? When it's my turn to lead?

"You should fix your company's problems," Heeseung's said as he was slowly opening his eyes

"You're awake all this time?" I asked him as I turned to him

"Nooo... I was sleeping but I sensed that something is bothering you so I need to wake up **yawn**" He said as he fixed himself and sat down. He slaps his cheeks to wake him up

"I am okay Hee... You should rest it's passed 1:00 already" I told him

"hmmm... How can I rest when I can't help you solve your problem baby," he said as he pouted but his eyes were still half asleep

"I am okay... There's nothing that will make you worry. You should sleep and let's call later" I told him

"hmmm.. Okay... I love you Avy Baby," he said as he was waiting for me to respond and end the call.

"You too," I told him and end the call

Heeseung's POV

"You too" she ended the call

"Ha! You too??? She didn't even say I love you too Hee baby??" I was overreacting again

I don't know why I easily get sulky at everything but I really can't believe that her answer is just "You Too?!!!!! Arghhh! I'm stressed"

I was then wide awake. I sighed... I grab my blanket and covered it all the way up to my head but then pulled it down again.

"I understand that she is really busy because she's too young to lead her parent's company but "you too?" she can't even complete it or say it properly? " I told myself

"I will sleep now," I told myself but my brain is telling me stuff to keep me awake

I must clear my mind so that I will have a peaceful sleep.
