AGENT Series: The Best Mistake (FINISHED)

Chapter 13

Gun Bae!

"I haven't drink soju in a while. I really miss the taste of this." I said.

I pour Aether some soju and he does the same for me. 

"Why? There's soju back home right?" Aether said.

"For me, it's not the same."

"Then you should visit here more often."

"You know with all the cases I handle I can't do that."

"The price the top agent of Adelphos has to pay."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Aish! She's asleep already. She drank a lot." Aether said.

"I have a question." Caleb said as he poured Aether a drink.

"What is it?"

"Is Athena always like that?"

"You mean that way that she's strong and even mean sometimes like it would be a big mistake to argue with her."

"That."

"Well, she may look like she's strong and can take on everything but inside she's hurting. That girl has many problems her sister, her Dad, Apollo and being an agent. It just doesn't look like that because she never shows it. She always put a strong face. Based on her stories, the last time she cried was when her mother died. She said there was no use for crying. But I know deep inside she's hurting."

"You two are really close."

"Well she doesn't call me Oppa for nothing. She treats me like the big brother she never had and I treat her like the little sister I lost."

"About her and Apollo.."

"Let's go outside. I bet you know she doesn't want people talking about that one. And even though she's fast asleep, she can hear clearly what we are saying."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aether offered Caleb cigarette.

"No thanks." Caleb said.

Aether lit the cigarette.

"You may have heard the rumor." Aether said.

"Yes."

"Well, that rumor started ever since Apollo worked for Adelphos. And that rumor is true."

"Apollo already told me that one. Apollo and Athena had a relationship for 4 years even before Athena was an agent for Adelphos. He was about to continue when Athena interrupted him."

"You are really curious about her."

Caleb nodded.

"Well, who wouldn't be? I got curious too so I asked Athena straight and she told me what happened. "

Aether told Caleb the whole story about Athena and Apollo.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up a little and I was surprised that Caleb was giving me a piggyback ride.

"What the! Why am I in this position? I told you don't touch me unless it's a life and death situation." I said.

"Don't move. Well, this is a life and death situation. You'll fall and might hit your head and die if I don't give you a piggyback ride. You're too drunk to walk. Just this once let it slip. Okay?"

"Fine. Just move faster."

"I can't your heavy."

"What are you saying? I'm not heavy."

"You are."

"I'm not."

We just kept going with our 'You are's" and 'I'm not's" until we reach hotel.

"Thanks." I said to Caleb.

"Don't mention it."

"You really are one little polite nerd."

"I'm not."

"Which one the polite one or the nerd one?"

"The nerd one."

"Well you used to be one."

"That's why it is in past tense, 'used to be'. I was a nerd.

"Fine. You used to be a nerd."

"Thanks."

"For what?"

"Saying that I'm polite."

"Is being polite something worth thanking for?"

"You are really drunk. The things you are saying don't make sense anymore. Go to your room already."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day I looked at the clock and it was already afternoon.

"We're late!" I said.

I knocked on Caleb's door and he opens it.

"We're late. Why didn't you wake me up?"

"I did two hours ago but you still didn't wake up and we're actually already an hour late for our flight." he said.

"Don't rub it even more."

I pulled his hand and lead him to my room.

"What will you do to me?"

He acted like he was girl that is about to get raped.

"Haha. Very funny. Sit there. There's my laptop. Find a way to get us to Jeju-do as soon as possible. I'll just get properly dressed and call Hermes about what happened and also about Thomson."
