Chapter 17: Plan A
SEOL
The sun has not yet risen but my phone was keep on ringing. I remember I set the alarm for 12:00 PM so that I can sleep a lot during the weekends but the hell. Someone just keep on calling that's why I just went out right now, just took a half bath because the person on the other line was agitated to meet me.
I made a face palm when she called me again. How I wish I can block her number and never meet her ever again. Nevertheless, I answered the call and did not bother to greet her because how can I, it is not even 6 AM for Pete's sake!
"Do not ask me why we are meeting at the mansion because I do not know too," Venice said and I am not even interested. I don't care where we will meet as long as we can meet or we can talk peacefully.
"Sure," I answered boringly.
"What's with the tone? Are you rebelling right now? Should I tell--"
"Fuck, shut your trap before I can rip--"
"The guards are not on duty today so the password at the gate is your birthday. See you later, Kim Seol!"
I eyed the phone with the full horror of my face because for fuck's sake she just hang up on me after cutting me off just like that. That brat! I wish I can kick her out of that old man's place and go back to Korea as soon as possible.
Oh right, we have the same situation. We both lost our parents--oh she lost her's at an accident when she was 4 years old. She's living with her grandmother her in the Philippines and luckily she's still alive. Ah, my grandmother too I nearly forgot we share a little bit of bloodline.
When I step into the old man's house deja vu seems to hit me. I saw the Father I recognize in the past sitting comfortably on the sofa while reading a news paper. The television is turned on and Venice is watching about lifestyle. At first, they didn't notice me but when I fake a laugh they turned their heads on me and Venice was the one who smiled and greeted me.
She seems excited right now. I wonder if she lives here because it is too cold outside and she's wearing a white miniskirt and yellow off shoulder. She looks sexy not to mention she have huge breasts.
"Mr. Kim, Seol is here shall we start the meeting now?" She's full of enthusiasm and I don't have any idea what is causing that. But I wish she will continue being like that because I hate her swearing just like me.
Kiara doesn't swear and it is attractive for girls not to swear.
"Suit yourself, Venice," Old man answered coldly. I mean is he even part of the meeting?
So rude.
Venice claps and smiled widely at me. "Seol, thank you for being here. I mean you are our life savior so we should be nice to you. Whatever conditions that you like as long as it aligns with the plan then we will grant it for you!" Venice's eyebrows goes up and down and I can't help but to smile because of her cuteness.
Oh, god this is so rare. We rarely bond or laugh and appreciate each other.
"Moving on, we have the target, Felix Vargas." She took out her phone and scrolled down before continuing her speech. She did not even make an effort of having visual aids for me to be entertained.
"Felix is a second year college student just like us. He rose to fame after attending Moon's birthday party, your half-brother when he was a freshman. He's exemplary charming among the guests that caused rumors with the freshmen and also with the seniors. Not long after that they became the center of attention for hanging out with Kiara..." She stopped mid sentence and after taking a deep breath, she continued once again.
I admire Venice for being this strong. She lost her parents at a very young age and now watching her best friend on a life support is too cruel. What the fuck did she just did to deserve like this.
What did I do to be like this too.
"Kiara, on the other hand is part of the Student Government of our school and a school leader indeed. Having such a handsome guy like Felix Vargas will not skip from the rumors from the students. Someone said they were dating and after that accident on the rooftop, Kiara was suspected to commit suicide because of a fight with her boy friend when in face she doesn't have one." Venice pouted but not in a cute way but in an irritating way.
I can't help but to laugh at her. She turned her attention at me and at my peripheral vision the old man also looked at me. I didn't know he was paying attention at his surroundings because as far as I can remember he was busing reading the news paper few minutes ago.
"You just laugh because she doesn't have a boyfriend or because of you being a torpe?" It was her turn to smile and the old man chuckled. Fuck that hits me on bullseye. I didn't know I came here for a dog show.
"So I find out while investigating him that he did not feel any guilt after Kiara was announced dead and happen to commit suicide. The police did not even asked the boyfriend wannabe and concluded that it was obvious, Kiara committed suicide because of her family's business went on a bankrupt. I mean yes that is true but that's just worse because the boyfriend wannabe did not care about her. Instead, he flirts with the new guy in his sight... no other than you, Seol."
"Fuck. I hate beating around the bush, Venice." I can feel my cheeks heating up hearing the word "flirt". No fuck I did not do anything aside from the kiss we shared. That's it. And I will never do that again. Ever again!
"So, is it the day after tomorrow? Don't worry anything because we will provide you with everything. From the wire-tap to the transportation and your safety, Kim Seol. You only have to provide a good conversation that will result in a good outcome, of course on our side. The plan is simple, Seol and if you will mess up remember that there is a plan B."
"If ever plan A will fail which is we will arrest the target, of course together with the police, with the connection of Mr. Kim, at his house. Definitely at his house, Seol. Make sure we will caught you having a sexual intercourse with him but make it as he force you to do it. He can get 20 to 40 years of imprisonment if ever that happens. Or if you are totally uncomfortable with that, you can try attempted homicide that will sentence him to 6 years but that is too unfair for Kiara, Seol. She's lying right now with a life support and the culprit won't get the highest sentence? Don't you think so?"
I nodded my head in agreement. "Of course, if ever the plans will get out of hand, I will take actions by my own hands, Venice. Don't you worry any single thing." I remember I don't back out in anything and fear is not in my dictionary.
author's note: torpe is a Tagalog word meaning young men who don't know how to approach the girls they like(TagalogLang, 2023). Perhaps are you a torpe or you know someone who is a torpe? Go tell them to confess their love before it's too late!
