His Unexpected Goodbye

Chapter 14

~~~

The van parked in front of the hotel, we just arrived after having dinner at Mama's Grill. I stepped out to approach the front desk to get our room key, the lounge is still full of guests having coffee. I yawned.

An intern handed me the room key, I thanked her before taking it in my hands. The boys also took their key before going to their room, and after that, we did the same too.

I sat on the bed to fix my things, Vry turned the TV on while Theia went in the bathroom to change. The staff offered room cleaning service before we even left, so our room is cleaner than how it was earlier.

[Sapient University, donates to the children of Pure Hearts Orphanage from their successful fundraiser program.] The news report says, I guess they have successfully transferred the funds. We all clapped in the room to celebrate. It's everybody's success.

"Congratulations Sav!" Ameelya claps, I gave her a small smile. I felt so accomplished because of this, all of the hard work and efforts paid off. "Congrats to us guys!"

"We deserve this vacation so much," Ven says and she's right, we deserve this! It has been a stressful journey, and now this weeklong trip in Siargao is such a breather! "and we deserve this wonderful victory!"

"Should we celebrate?" Vrylle asked, she looks down on her watch to check the time. It's still early, the lounge is still open and the café too. I could really use some coffee. "Let's go. I hope the guys are still awake..."

I took my jacket and placed both of my hands in the pockets, the breeze of the wind is very cold. Venylie locked the room as we got out, we walked together to the café. I'm right, there's still a lot of people here.

We were all busy looking for a table while Amee's on the counter ordering us coffee and desserts, then familiar faces caught my attention! I waved at them to get their attention, the boys are in the café. They didn't even invite us!

"Are we not welcome to join?" Theia rolled her eyes when we all are finally seated on the round table. The boys just looked at us in shock. I think they have their own plans.

"We didn't invite you since we thought all of you are asleep." Korics says before sipping on his cup. I looked at him, and we both exchange glares. I smiled slightly, thinking about what happened earlier in dinner.

After the incident near the restroom, after what Korics said to that guy. He just left with an annoyed look on his face, then he dragged me back to our table and the others were left confused. I was also left confused, because of what he said...

Amee came back with our orders and we all started to drink coffee while chatting about the occasion. It's a simple celebration just to acknowledge the small victory we had, it feels nice to know you've done something to help other people. Especially children.

Everyone was just laughing the entire time, until I noticed Kor holding his chest with a little pain in his expression. I placed my hand on his back.

"Are you alright?!" I asked, but he just smiled and nodded before excusing himself to go to the bathroom.

What was that about?

I felt worried, so I ran to the bathroom to check on him. There wasn't any line so I stood there, waiting for him and I'd casually knock on the door if I notice he's gone quiet.

"What's happening in there?!" I asked, he won't respond. I knocked on the door a little more louder now, and finally... he responded.

"I'm okay." He says, I don't believe him! I won't believe him... not until he opens the door and I could see him being okay. "Maybe it's a heartburn. Acid reflux, I'll be fine."
