Why am I always late?

chapter 13

After that "date" if you could call it happen, the two exchanged numbers. Hoping they could talk and go on many other dates, as Gyueum described.

"So! It worked, didn't it?!" He said enthusiastically at Nicky, who was tired at hearing this for the nth time this day. He sighed, ' you're gonna be the death of me ', he whispers to himself. "Of course it did! She probably got tired and just said yes to make a big dog happy!" He exclaimed. Yet Gyueum was confused, taken aback. What dog? Was there a dog in what he said to Nicky?

Nicky noticed the tall dog tilting it's head slightly, his face covered with confusion and doubt. He sighs, why does he not get it? Why is he so dumb?.
"Forget it. Anyways, what did you plan for your next "date"" he said, making air quotation marks with his two hands. His voice low and leaves a big trace of sarcasm, yet Gyueum was dumb enough to not realize it. He though, was also wondering. He thought of another date idea, like say a café one, but Instead of a similar one..

"A cat cafe?!" Nicky shouted, a bit loud for Gyueum's taste, not gonna lie. He flinched, he didn't really put into account Nicky's reaction would be like a volcano eruption. "Why do you think that's a good idea?" He said, his voice still loud and definitely mad. Why is he mad anyway?

"Nicky, while we talked she likes animals. She even likes capybaras! So why is going to a cat cafe bad?" He reasoned. Nicky then wondered, what's the fucking similarity between a capybara, and a little cat? That they're both animals?!! Shit, he is really gonna die because of him. "My dear friend, please enlighten me. Why do you think she'll like cats? When she liked capybaras instead?" He asked. He was tired of arguing and raising his voice, so he instead asked in a calm and patient way, making Gyueum think he has calm down.

" Because they are both cute!". Yep, he will kill this man standing in front of him. He clutched the covers as he sat in the edge of his bed, while Gyueum, stands infront of him with a dumb, hopeful look. Nicky tighten his grip of the covers, seemingly trying to stop himself from pounding on his best friend. He looked around his room, it was white, pure white. Yet all he sees is red.

Wait.. red? Why is he seeing red? He- he isn't, it's not time yet! He snapped his head back onto the clock hanging on the top of the door, the calendar sitting on a big drawer filled with pictures. Yeah, it isn't time yet, so why does he-?

"Nicky~, you all right?" Gyueum spoke out in a child like voice. It snapped him back to reality, what the..?
"Oh! Wait, you're having a nosebleed!" He shouted. Gyueum sounded so alarming and tried to take the tissue box on one of Nicky's drawer, but Nicky stayed relax, so relax for this situation. Here a tall dog runnibg around the room as Nicky looked stunned, shock even. He lifted his right hand to touch the blooded nose. It didn't hurt, it didn't feel like something, it was nothing.

"Nicky, what's wrong? Why are your nose bleeding?!" He asked, his voice laced with concern and panic as he rushed wiping the dripping blood. "I-i" Nicky stammered, trying to think of what's happening.

Why did his vision suddenly turn red? Why did he start having a nose bleed all of a sudden? It wasn't time yet, so why? He kept thinking at those same questions, over and over again even if Gyueum has already left their house.
He just couldn't shake off the thought, but he suddenly got distracted by the buzzing noise of his phone

"Can we meet tomorrow at 10" .....

~•~•~•~~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

Gyueum turned his head back and forth at the neon signs he was unfamiliar with. He didn't expect Seo In to chat and asked him to go somewhere for their date, and what somewhere do you think I mean?
A bar, with a love hotel connected to it.

Gyueum blinked more than necessary at the big, pink neon sign, saying "bar to love" outside it. He fished out his phone and checked their messages, afraid he just read it wrong, but nope! Clear as day:

"Can we meet tomorrow at 10?"

"Sure! Where though?"

"At the love to bar next to the love motel, you know that already"

To be honest, Gyueum felt like Seo In chatted the wrong person, but he couldn't just correct her and embarrass her, so like any sane person, he went to the place; the oh so unfamiliar place.

As he carefully open the door to the bar he couldn't help but quickly turn his head away, girls dancing on polls with only a shy of fabric was really scaring him.

"D-did I go to hell? Or is this what really- people like?" He stammers as he talks to himself, his voice low. He froze at the sight of glasses on the tables just littered around, shivered at the touch of a hairy guy bumping him, he was practically hugging himself as he tried to look for her.

After getting on a less crowdy corner he finally spotted her, sitting far across from him, her entire body covered with the red crazy lights, and someone accompanying her. He tried to narrow his eyes to look at him better but all he made up was someone handsome, with a beautiful watch on his wrist that looks expensive.

After a few minutes of debating he grew the courage to go there, it was supposed to be a date anyway, so why is he here?!
So he pushed through the wild hairy guys dancing, and girls with barely anything on them.

As he finally reached the place where the two sat, he was taken aback, she was nowhere to be found! He turned around all over the place, but she wasn't there, it was like there was no trace of her being in there in the first place.

When suddenly something clicked in Gyueum's mind, if she left, did she—

He ran to the side, where he suspected, and after a minute of running he accidentally bumped into someone, and out of hurry he asked her. "Do you know where the door to the motel is?!"
