Johnny looked out the window making a comment about the sexy black bmw I came out of. Joe was still yelling at me for not keeping in contact with him or telling him I was staying out. After being lectured and ranted at I took a shower got in my own comfy clothes and drank tea with the boys.

"So tell us... How are you pulling all the rich boys?" Grinned Joe.

"She's a foreigner. Rich boys get the most shame on bringing a foreigner in, so if they can have a discreet time for themselves they'll pay a lot for it." Stated Johnny.

"Oh yeah.." Joe said dumbfoundedly/shock.

"I'm no escort or hoe! It was with the same person as last time." I shied away from explaining further.

"So must be special then..?" Stated Joe, raising an eyebrow.

There was an awkward silence for a few seconds before I started shaking my head. "If anything it's the complete opposite." I said with slight aggression.

"Hmm." Both boys said in sync, eyeing me suspiciously.

I got up from the sofa. "I need more tea, then I need some fresh air." I said in a composed manner as their judging eyes stared at me.
"I promise me and that man share nothing, accept from two separate occasions under the bed sheets. It's not going to be a frequent thing." I stated before walking into the kitchen.

"Mhmm." They said in sync once again. I knew they didn't believe me, but I sure in hell believed me.

Seung Ti Kwung was fucking SEUNG TI KWUNG!! The boy I fell in love with who then broke my heart. I don't even want to deep the circumstances, because I'd naturally become extremely emotional. I'm an adult and frankly don't care for that man anymore. Besides this Seung Ti Kwung is my employer so I should keep it strictly business. This Seung Ti Kwung was also a good piece of specimen who knew how to treat a woman's body in bed, but that was all. All my sexual needs are suppressed, so there's no need for me to be pathetic for the wood. As long as I can focus on what I need to do I'll be able to let my underlying emotions stay underneath the radars. Let's be realistic now, as much as leaving the job would help my crazed mind, it wasn't realistic. I enjoy this job and I enjoy not being in my home country, and most importantly it pays me graciously. But as long as I have my closure I'll manage.

The same way I'm not shit, but a charity whore for Mr Kwung, the same he's nothing but my source of income. I'm nothing to him clearly, and he's nothing to me. We're just strangers who fucked. We're just strangers, just he's my boss. Nothing special about that.

After making another cup of tea and reading a random crime novel I took myself out for a walk. I needed air and opening my window in my bedroom wasn't cutting it. I took a stroll down the street not knowing where I was going exactly. I just followed my feet until I felt a bit tired. I ended up by a bubble tea cafe, which I decided to enter. I then decided to call Brianòs to see his plans for today. Fortunately he wasn't busy and wanted to spend some time with me. Having all this testosterone in my company, today, was truly annoying me. However Brianòs was good peoples who could make me laugh.

"Welcome to Mouth Pop Cafe! You ready to order?" Asked a teenage girl, with good English.

I responded in Korean as always. "Sure. I would like papaya tea with the black balls please. Regular size." I smiled, causing her to smile graciously.

"I'll have you order shortly." She replies in Korean.

"Ello stranger!" Brianòs spooked me, attempting a British accent.

"That was quick." I raised a brow.

"I was already in the area, shopping for some ingredients for tomorrow's feast." He settled his few bags down.

"Feast?" My eyes widened.

"Yeah, my family are having a small gathering." He had a small tired smile which I chuckled at.
"So how's you been. I've never seen you dress so informally." He wowed.

"Well.. I guess you just don't know me. I will bum out comfies at any chance I get, despite how much someone assumes how vagabond-ish I look." I half lied. In public I do not wear my loungewear unless I was going somewhere local, but I needed air and decided to stay out longer than expected.

"Something within thinks you're being sarcastic, whilst you display yourself being dead-ass." He raised an eyebrow and put a finger to his chin. In response I shrugged.

"Here you go miss." Said the short haired waitress as she handed me my drink.
Brianòs wanted to diss my drink, but after I let him have a sip he attempted to steal it. I made him get his own, before we started speaking about general things.

I'm glad I called him, because he was a good distraction, until he mentioned our boss.

"So yeah.. he offered me a proposal to teach interns for a six week course." He smiles with excitement. I tried my hardest to not portray a sour face at the sound of out boss's name.

"That's great, but how much percentage is being added on?" I frowned to seem that I was concerned for his interests, but in actual fact the frown was meant for Seung Ti Kwung himself.

I feel disgusted.

"None. But by doing this I could be in the boss's good books. He's so powerful it's crazy, he probably owns islands! Must be nice growing up rich." He sighed after fan girling. I plastered a fake interested smile on my face and frowned slightly.

Seung Ti Kwung wasn't born this rich, I knew that for sure. Whether he owns islands or not I don't know, but it wouldn't be a surprise if he owned one. Powerful? Maybe so, but he's weak as hell. He knew who I was, but could even address it in person. He's took me out for dinner to talk nonsense, whilst over that dinner he couldn't told me the truth. Even if he eased me into it subtly, but I guess not. Anyways he's not what I want on my mind.

The remainder of my little bubble tea date with Brianòs consisted of him fan girling over the boss. He knew him more than me, which was and was not ironically surprising. However listening to him, despite my attempts at changing the subject various of times, pained me further. I couldn't make it bait as I didn't want any questions directed towards me. Moreover, I ended the date with an excuse.

"My roommates will be worrying on my whereabouts. I didn't tell them I was leaving the apartment and their phones are broken." Is what I said.

"But you're grown" he countered. "Surely they'll understand?" He frowned slightly. Even his frown was beautiful. Brianós was very handsome. 

"Oh.." I bursted into laughter, remembering my lecture this morning.

"What's funny?" He gave me a confused smile.

"You're wrong, they won't understand. I need to go, but if it helps you can walk me back." I gave a cheeky smirked.

"Hmm." He raised his brow mischievously.

"Not in that way, just walk me back. We'll plan on another date." I smiled reassuringly, not truly sure how honest I was being.

"Alright." He pouty, which I smiled and shook my head at.

.

The walk back was decent as he attempted to tease me. I played along and entertained it, but when he made an actual joke I couldn't help but to let out my ugly laugh. Internally I felt like a rollercoaster, but as long as I kept my cool around him I'm fine.

When arriving to my apartment Brianòs unexpectedly pulled me into a very tight hug. I felt uncomfortable for two reasons: One- it was a very long and tight hug, Two- I felt as if I was being watched.
Once we said our goodbyes I could wait to get inside to have a private conversation with my mother.

My mother was my true best friend.

Seeing he delightful, round face on the screen, excited to see me prevented me from holding back my tears.

"Honey, why are you crying?" The turning of her face pained me as she was now filled with concern.

"I-it's-..it's... its him." I whimpered in a whisper.
"It's..." I repeated as I curled my toes and hid my face.
"Its him.!"
