"Uhm Yo..." Nine broke the conversation between Yo and Chen "I need to get Mr. Kim some clothes."

"Ah yes, I totally forgot! Sorry about that, I just love dressing up beautiful people." Nine was about to undress when Yo stopped him "No, don't, it's yours. Consider it a gift."

"But this is expensive!" Nine exclaimed.

"I made that and I decided that it is yours, so take it."

"Thank you so much Yo! I need to go now." 

"Take care!" Yo told him.

"I'm about to leave too, let me drive you home." Chen suddenly said.

"Oh no, it's alright. I don't want to be a bother to anyone." 

Chen isn't budging and grabbed Nine by his arm "Let's go. If people are going to see us together, now is the best time." Chen gave Nine an approving look. "Now that you look this... divine."

"Well, if you guys are pushing through with that shit of a plan, I would agree. People within our circle are around the are, word would spread like wildfire." Yo said while drinking his wine.

Nine resigned to the idea and just went with it, he's going to get money out of this anyway. "Let's go then, I'll tell you how to go there, just in case you don't remember."

True to Wayo's words, people started staring at Chen and Nine, they looked liked models from a magazine and had an aura of a power couple

They got into the car and was able to get the clothes and arrived in the hospital on time.

Nine immediately gave Mr. Kim a hug and handed him some clothes. He introduced Chen as one of his employers.

"Mrs. Kim! How are you?" Nine immediately went beside her bed. The woman just smiled at him albeit weakly. "Don't answer, I need you to rest and get better ok?" Nine returned her smile and the old lady just nodded weakly at him. "And you Mr. Kim, I need you to get home in a few hours and rest. I'll take over."

Chen was moved with Nine's kindness and he felt that he needs to do something. "Let me just excuse myself for a while, I need to go to the loo."

When Chen got back, he saw Nine hugging a crying Mr. Kim, 'I think I'm doing something right', he then proceeded to sit beside Nine "Hi Mr. Kim" Chen said, "I am not sure if you recall me, but I'm that asshole the other night." Mr. Kim looked at him and recognized him "I know what I did in your restaurant is dumb and stupid and as a sign of apology, I paid for your bills until this weekend, including a private nurse so you don't have to stay here overnight."

"That is too much!" Nine exclaimed which was met by a questioning look from Chen "We can't pay you back that amount." Mr. Kim seconded.

"I'm not asking for a payment, as I've mentioned, it's my way of saying sorry for what I did." 

Mr. Kim gave him a hug and started crying "THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" Chen returned the hug and told him "Mrs. Kim will be moved to a better room in a while where nursed would monitor her constantly so you don't have to worry."

Mr. Chen went back to the side of his wife and started to sing her a lullaby.

"I hope I find a love like that." Nine whispered. Chen looked at him, he never thought he'd see something said with such honesty and vulnerability and it woke something in him. "I think you would." he said while staring at Nine.
