il mio primo e ultimo amore

Jealousy and Kisses

The drive back to apartment is eerily silent.

Marco and Luca have a grave demeanor the whole drive making the atmosphere solemn and tense.

At least, for Cha Young because Vincenzo seems comfortable with it.

He may be used to it, but she isn't.

Once back home, Vincenzo expected Cha Young to run to the sofa squealing.

He's started to assume her antics time-to-time; however, she slowly enters and starts placing things back.

That's odd and he can't help asking, thinking she may not be feeling well.

"Gwenchana?"

She looks at him and then back to taking out things from the bags.

"It's not their fault. You shouldn't punish them."

"It is their fault." He simply replies, worry washed over and replaced with irritation.

"And I am not punishing them." He adds.

"You are. I have never saw them this serious."

"Well, you should get used to it." He simply replies and moves towards the bedroom.

"They are supposed to obey me, right? I was the one who told them to take me to Malta and to take me to the casino! Luca didn't know that a simple meeting would turn this gruesome!"

He looks at her after closing his eyes momentarily.

If only this woman knew, how he spent those hours and how his world stopped when she embraced him. how the bullet went to her shoulder, how he had her blood on his hands.

He dreads those moments.

They are his new nightmares.

And Vincenzo knows this better than anyone else, refusing a woman in the Family is quite difficult.

But this isn't that.

It's the fact that in her presence and way of dealing, they seem to forget that even if they couldn't refuse her, they should have ensured her security better.

They acted carelessly and for once were carrying out everything obliviously.

So, he tells her simply.

"They acted carelessly; they know how to handle these situations better than anyone else but for once they completely let me down."

"Well, everyone makes mistakes!" She seems to be furious all of a sudden.

Mistakes, he chuckles.

If it would have been business, he would have let it slip.

He is cold but has somewhat empathy for those whom he cares about.

This was almost something like a test, her life was-is on the line.

And when they had to prove themselves, all 4 of his trusted acted like a slump.

There is no space for even the minutest mistakes when it comes to her protection.

"Mistake?" He repeats.

But doesn't let her speak and continues.

"If they keep making these mistakes..."

If they keep making mistakes when it comes to your protection, something terrible can happen.

One mistake led to a bullet in her shoulder, another mistake and he doesn't want to imagine anything further.

So, he shakes it all off.
