Chapter 23: You shouldn't have hugged me

Hello! On the last chapter, Liam just recalled that he had to travel to Japan with Sean. Also, Alex knew that his Brother just had sex with his pregnant ex girlfriend. Let's see what happened in this chapter. 

3 Days later .. At the airport..

" Do you guys wanna go for lunch?" As usual, the hungry one asked.. He wanted to get some lunch before he entered the plane. Yes, there is going to be food provided there, but Ivan just can't get enough.

" Let's go.." Alex didn't even bother rejecting him. He looked around and decided on the nearest restaurant around them, a ramen restaurant ..

" Anna is not well for ramen.." Julie spoke out, earning a light smack on her arm from Anna. She didn't want all seven people to change for her. She was feeling better and her best friend is really making a mountain out of a molehill.

She did have food poisoning yesterday. She had gone to the bathroom at least five times due to diarrhoea and she vomited twice. She didn't want to tell the guys about this because she knew they were busy. She managed to convince herself that she needed the doctor when her vision became blurry and her head started spinning. She was dehydrated. Julie wouldn't have known about it if she didn't call Anna yesterday night asking for her to come out for a drink but fortunately she felt much better now. Alex raised his brow at her. Why am I knowing this now? Why didn't Anna tell me anything?

This girl..

" I'm fine.. Let's have ramen.." she pointed to the direction of the ramen restaurant.

" No.. We could always..." Alex wanted to change his mind to somewhere that is more appropriate for her but she stopped him..

" Ramen.." she walked towards the shop. The gang had no choice but to follow her since she had already walked in the restaurant. They all walked in the restaurant, slowly filling up the seats around the round table.. Not going to lie about this, although it was very awkward to be on the same table as Shirley, but she is carrying a child and it was really hard to reject a pregnant lady. One by one, the gang started to place their order, leaving Shirley the last one to place her order.

Can anyone imagine the awkwardness, the tension and the pressure Liam is having right now?

" Shirls.. Can you please just order?" Ivan was getting impatient and annoyed at Shirley.. This is what happen if you stop Ivan from his food. He gets cranky. Shirley took her own sweet time and the youngest was getting frustrated and cranky. It was quite comical to watch actually.

Lucky for Ivan, It didn't take long before the waitress serve them their respective ramens and Ivan could finally smile upon seeing his bowl of noodle in front of him. Everyone started digging in their noodles, slurping and chewing except for Shirley. She was the last to order and last to eat! Why is she not eating?! She covered her mouth with her hand, having a small gag when she smell her own bowl of spicy seafood ramen.

" Are you okay?" Sean asked, seeing Shirley covering her mouth with her right hand.

" My baby doesn't want this.." she pushed the bowl away from her which was towards the direction of Anna who was seated opposite her. Her attention was then brought towards Anna's bowl of chicken soup ramen.

" My baby wants that.." she pointed at the bowl of ramen that was sitting in front of Anna.

" I'll order one for you." Sean raised his hand, getting the waiter's attention so he could order the same exact order as what Anna had. It only took the waiter a short while before he came back to Sean..

" Sorry sir, we are currently out of that ramen." He apologised to Sean and now Shirley has placed down her chopsticks as she folded her arms in frustration.
