Remember To Remember Me| KJM

Chapter Seven

He opened his eyes as soon as he felt bothered by the sunlight that came through the thin, white curtains of his room and hit his face. Suho rolls on the bed to the edge, stretching his arm out to his bedside table and grabbing his phone. Pressing the 'on/off' button to see what time it was. One hour left to go to work.

The young man uncovers himself and puts his feet on the ground, feeling the cold of the wood, with the help of his arms he pushes his body upwards. He opens the bedroom door and walks towards the bathroom, where he opens the cold water tap and puts his hands under the water that is now flowing, taking his hands to his face and rubbing them. His head hurt from sleeping late and from drinking more than he should have the night before.

At the same time it was worth it, especially for the company. Although Suho only met Emma for a relatively short time, he enjoyed her presence and having spent the whole night dancing and drinking with her had been fun. But now he had to wake up and get back to work.

He went back to his room, and went to the dresser from where he took some black pants and a white shirt; already dressed and sitting on the bed, he got up picking up his black apron, his house keys and his phone and left.  

Suho worked in a beach bar, very close to the resort where the girls are living, because that same bar belongs to Kai's family. The two boys have known each other since they were kids. They both live in opposite realities. Kai came from a very rich family, especially since not everyone has a bar and an entire resort; while Suho came from a poor family and had to start working from a very young age to help his parents. But while Kai's family enjoys all their luxuries, their father's money, and they enjoy showing off what they have, Kai was not like that. He was a simple person, and he had few real friends because most of them were only close because he was rich and came from an important family. Suho had been his first real friend, and who showed him that life is not easy for everyone. Kai always had a good heart and learned a lot from Suho, even though he was only two years younger. Whenever he received his allowance, he made sure to give it to his friend when he saw that he was having difficulties at home. So Suho was happy to have that job, to know that even though the bosses were a bit tough, they had Kai. And for being Kai's friend.

Suho enters the bar already seeing some of his colleagues inside, he tightens his apron to his waist and starts preparing things so that they can open the door to the public.

Kai had a complex about being rich. He didn't like to be treated differently and like he was superior to everyone else. He wasn't. He was a normal person, he had feelings like a normal person and he worked as hard as a normal person. So he left his parents' house where he would go from time to time and started living in a resort suite, where he would be closer to work and alone.

He leaves the room and walks to the reception, where along the way he greets other members of staff and some guests who were already awake ready to enjoy the day. Kai passed by them with a smile on his face, excited. 

He walks behind the reception counter and looks at some papers on the table by the computer. Still standing, Kai picks up the papers looking at them carefully and leafing through the pages. He pulls the chair back sitting down and starts doing the paperwork.

Anneliese was still asleep, unbelievable as it sounds since she always woke up early, but apparently that Malibu and shot glass killed the girl. Unlike Emma who was a little more used to alcohol due to going to various parties in college and bars with friends and ex-boyfriend. She woke up and put on a short, red dress with a V-shaped neckline. Printed with white flowers and tight at the waist.

Starving, she decided not to wake Anneliese and let her sleep a little longer, so she went to have breakfast alone. Descending to the resort lounge where they served breakfast, Emma passes by the reception watching Kai working. She sees a girl from the staff approaching Kai.

"Good Morning, Kanya, what's the matter?" Kai asks the girl. Kanya shakes her head.

"Mr. Kim, there's a problem in one of the suites." Kanya informs.

Emma couldn't hear much except "Mr. Kim" which confused her, why the girl was treating Kai in such a formal way. The girl just saw Kai get up and go with the girl away. She takes her hand to her belly remembering what she was going to do and goes on her way to have breakfast.

Anneliese just wakes up and hears the bedroom door open, the girl gets up and sees Emma coming in. The blonde looks at her friend from head to toe and shakes her head.

"How come you're all dressed up so early?" Anneliese asks, taking her hand to the head that hurt from the little hangover.

"You were the one waking up late today." Emma replies, by placing her purse on the table.

"Give me a break, those drinks killed me!" The girl defends herself while she chooses what to wear.

"The drinks weren't even that strong, you big baby."

"But we also danced a lot. Kai wouldn't let go until I accepted. I'm tired and on vacation." Anneliese adds by rising from the ground with two pieces of clothing in her hands. Emma shook her head sitting on the couch.

"Kai made what I thought it was impossible. I'm seeing a whole new side of you here." She says, laughing and Anneliese turns her eyes.

"I guess I could say the same about you, huh?" Anneliese teases. Emma frowned, not understanding what she meant.

"About me? I don't think I understand what you're trying to say. I always danced." Emma replies. 

"But you were always shy." Anneliese says as she prepares to take a bath.

"No one knows me here. It's different back home." Emma says looking at every move her friend makes. The blonde stopped what she was doing and looked at Emma with her arms crossed and an obvious face.

"So it has nothing to do with the boy who danced with you?" 

"Maybe..."
