Pieces

The third wheel-ch19

After that declaration Jungwoo already makes the first move by kissing Claudi on the lips and making Taeil protest in response.  "Hey that's cheating and she's not even your girlfriend yet"-Taeil.  "Wait he's got a point.. I mean you haven't really asked me out.  That date was forced because you didn't wanna actually do it"-Claudi.  "Well.. Now I want it to be official between us"-Jungwoo.  "Oh really? Taeil's still got a chance then"-Claudi.  "Oh.. See I won't lose to you Jungwoo"-Taeil.  "Why did you have to say that for?! Are you having fun with this? Cause once I win you over, you ain't leaving my sight"-Jungwoo.  Claudi notices the bewitching smirk on his face and stutters as he comes onto her again, except he kisses her cheek and laughs at her reaction.  "That's cheating!"-Claudi.  Jungwoo chuckles to himself as he teleports himself out of Claudi's room and Taeil stands there, motionless for a second before regaining his composure and smiling cordially at Claudi.  "Claudi, let's go to a Korean BBQ restaurant tomorrow"-Taeil.  "Omg.. there was a place in London we went too for our 2nd date right?"-Claudi.  "Yep but I made a reservation for the two of us tomorrow.  So be up and ready for 12 and we'll go get some Korean BBQ"-Taeil.  He walks towards her, gently pressing his lips to her head and backing away, before smiling again and walking out of the door.  "Sweet dreams beautiful"-Taeil.  She blushes and holds her beating heart before sighing, as Taeil closes the door behind him but hears her sighing and listens to what she says. "We were so happy together... Where did it all go wrong?"-Claudi.  He hears small sobs coming from behind the door and looks at the person stepping out of her room and growls in disgust, when he sees who it is.  "Okay Lucas it's a date haha"-Yasmin.  "Good night gorgeous"-Lucas.  He presses his lips to hers and gently brings his forehead against hers and walking out of the door.  "Oi"-Taeil.  "...What do you want Taeil?"-Yasmin.  "I just want to talk to you for a second"-Taeil.  He casually strolls up to her and grabs her arm forcefully and pulls her into his room.  "You're Claudi's best friend, so you know what she likes to do right?"-Taeil.  "Yeah... But wasn't she your girlfriend at one point? Don't tell me you forgot what she likes?"-Yasmin.  "I-I.. I'm at competition with Jungwoo so.. it's just thrown me off guard.. Are you gonna help me or not?!"-Taeil.  "Omg are you embarrassed? HAHAHAHA"-Yasmin.  "Shut up! It's not easy planning something to woo the girl you like!"-Taeil.  "Tbf we girls like to see guys making the effort and because you actually are thinking about this a lot, suppose I could lend you a hand"-Yasmin.  "Wow.. You're not protesting? Thanks.. I guess"-Taeil.  "You're welcome and here's some ideas you could do...*Ain't spoiling until the date sorry x * "Thanks.. you've actually saved me here.. So I appreciate it"-Taeil.  For the first time the two siblings were able to share a heartfelt moment with both of them smiling at each other, as if the hatred has dispersed into thin air.  Yasmin leaves the room smiling to herself, as she felt the hollowness in her heart grow small as if a light has begun to resurface and bring back hope, in which she would continue to slowly thaw the ice in his heart.  

Claudi is already applying her makeup and Yasmin is doing her makeup for her date with Lucas and both girls are giggling, as they visualise what the date is gonna be like.  Claudi already knows she is going to a Korean BBQ place with Taeil, but she's feeling inquisitive about what they're doing after that.  Lucas and Yasmin have a date to explore all of Hong Kong and he's even treating her to lunch and dinner as a bonus.  Yasmin leaves first as her lips meet with Lucas' at the door and he waves at Claudi before leaving with Yasmin.  Taeil arrives 15 minutes later and smiles at Claudi's outfit choice.  A skirt with a Bardot top and a pair of her fave heels and Taeil smiles wryly for a second before asking.  "You sure you'll be okay wearing those?"-Taeil.  "Yeah I'm used to it!"-Claudi.  "Okay your choice then"-Taeil.  He extends his arm out as the two of them leave together and head towards the restaurant. The smell of meat sizzling on the grill, has Claudi invigorated as she inhales the aroma and already tries a piece of her meat.  Masticating away, Claudi smiles jubilantly as she takes another bite at the tender meat.  "Omg this is so good! Here have some Taeil!"-Claudi.  He smiles and takes a bite out of the cooked meat and lets his eyes close as he lets the flavour sink in.  "Yep just as good as I remember.."-Taeil.  They continue chatting and eating and get ready to go to their next destination.  "Oh well look who it is.  Didn't know you would be here too"-Jungwoo.  "J-Jungwoo! Omg you... and this damn soul connecting thing"-Claudi.  "Well literally won't let you leave my sight.  So where are we going next? Gotta admit it's not fun eating Korean BBQ alone.  So Let me tag along and we can all go somewhere fun!"-Jungwoo.  Taeil grits his teeth in annoyance as he doesn't realise, he's already got his arm around Claudi's waist and walking away from Taeil.  "Hey! She's my date what are you doing?!"-Taeil.  People around them begin murmuring causing Jungwoo to look embarrassed and Claudi smirking triumphantly.  "Omg.. Those two guys fighting over that girl? So lucky!" "LOL that other guy is just third-wheeling how pathetic, wait in line buddy hahaha".  Jungwoo holds his head down below as Claudi laughs and pulls Taeil by the hand and they begin walking away from Jungwoo.  

Meanwhile with Lucas and Yasmin.  "So pretty!"-Yasmin.  Lucas wraps a pendant that illuminates with a spectrum of colours.  "It's gorgeous like you.  This pendant has been passed down for centuries and they say you give it to someone, who means a lot to you.  I know we haven't been together for that long, but since i'm a vampire it feels we have been together for a long time"-Lucas.  "W-wow.. How can I accept something like this?"-Yasmin.  "I need you too.. O-ow.. T-this scenery.. wait.. My head.. What's happening?"-Lucas.  

He holds his head in pain as he drops to his knees.  A storm surges through his head and his senses have been attacked, as he starts to remembering fragments of his past.  He begins screaming and Yasmin holds onto him.  "Lucas! What's wrong?!"-Yasmin.  "N-Nancy.. I-I couldn't save you.."-Lucas.  

Damn.. 

Jungwoo haha you third-wheeling
