38: The Trip

During the car travel, I only had one thought: I want what they have. The strong brotherhood within them can really be seen while we had dinner. The jokes and conversation with one another tells how close they are.

   Since, I'm an only child and I don't really have contact with my friends since they have their own things. I kind of gotten to doing things by my own, but it wouldn't hurt to have someone whom I can vibe with just like what these guys have.

Soon, we reached the mansion. Soonyoung who passed out was carried by Junhui and Joshua, to help him get to bed. As soon as I got inside, I was about to go to my room, but Seungcheol called me.

"Let's talk in my office," he said, so I followed him.

We entered inside and the silence of his office made me uncomfortable especially the fact that Seungcheol is emitting that kind of strong aura again.

I sat on the chair in front of his desk where had sat down. "Your father called me to discuss things about the trip," he trailed off as he pulled out a brown envelope and tossed it to me.

"He wanted me to accompany you on the latter for your safety," I opened the envelope and saw plane tickets and a hotel accommodation receipts which made me really happy.

A trip to Kauai, Hawaii?!

This is beyond incredible!

I can't wait!

"Oh wow, the flight is this Saturday," I chuckled as I took a closer look at the ticket.

I turned to Seungcheol who smiled at me while he held a glass of whiskey on his right hand. "Guess you have to pack up starting right now," he muttered.

"I know right--I need to buy new clothes! like this is really incredible! I'm so excited for this--I have to call dad!" I stood up from my seat and bid him goodnight before stumbling away.

I was about to walk away, but then I saw a familiar figure in the kitchen. A man with blonde hair, stood there with a glass of wine in his hand.

Since I'm in such good mood, this is probably a good time to thank him properly for the meal preps he had done during the bar exam preparation. "Jeonghan," I called as he turned around to face me, with the same emotionless face again.

"Hmm?" he sternly hummed in response as he raised an eyebrow at me.

"Thank you," I smiled.

"For the meals you prepared," I added as he sneered in a drunk-like manner.

"Little red, you do know I still hate you," he smirked, tilting his head a bit in an arrogant manner.

"I know," I chortled.

It's clear as crystal to me that he just hates me because I know his secret. "But still thanks a lot, because to me," I trailed off as I pointed at myself.

"The good overrules the bad," He scoffed.

"Wish everyone had that kind of mindset," he said.

As soon as I got inside my room, I called my dad to thank him for the trip he booked. I searched up some pictures of the island and it was absolutely stunning; can't wait to go there.

I'm really looking forward to this trip because for the first time in my life, I can finally go on a trip without any worries. I'm done with law school and the only problem I've got is the result of the bar.
