Lucas

I am in some weird place right now, with all of those trees and plants around me, there isn't a single human nor any noises that might help me find anyone from this weird place. Kim Jungwoo told me that their place is at some apartment building and it wouldn't take me that long to reach the place and since it is also near the gym that I worked at, it should be rather easy for me to locate the place and I shouldn't be lost right now.

I looked around the place that I am at and I whipped out my phone, calling the very person that is in charge of this whole party. "Where are you, you idiot? I have been circling around the area 5 times but I still don't see you and the party."

"You have gotten the address that I sent you in the afternoon right? Then you should be able to locate the place yourself." He said and I looked around the area once more, it looked nothing like I am near any apartment building and I feel like I am in some jungle the longer that I am here.

"Are you sure? I am literally in a jungle and I see no apartment buildings, do you guys live in treetop houses or something? It could be a possibility because it looks more like a jungle than anything else." I told him.

"Then you are in the right place, just turn right and then you will--" I hang up his call because how ridiculous it is, I can't believe that I am here listening to his nonsense knowing that he can be some kind of a bastard sometimes. Soojin is so unlucky to have him as a husband sometimes and I feel like he should be more mature sometimes and be the mature 27 years old he is and not be the 3-year old that he is now.

I sighed, I put my phone back into my pocket and I rode my motorcycle out of the jungle that I am, I have to get out of here before it starts to turn dark and things will get harder when the sun sets and everything becomes harder to see and navigate through. I can't believe that I just got pranked by my best friend, I have known him for such a long time and I still fall for his jokes, how do I even allow myself to fall for his pranks?

I called his wife, Seo Soojin on my way out of the jungle, she seems like the one who will actually tell me the truth rather be on the same side as her husband, I know that she loves Jungwoo a lot but sometimes you would have to betray your loved ones, to tell the truth to his poor friends who doesn't know how to get to his apartment.

"The person that you are calling is not available, please try again later. If you are Lucas Hwang and you are calling to find out about how to go to Kim Jungwoo's and Seo Soojin's love nest, there is no such thing as betraying your husband, to tell the truth to his best friend. Good luck finding that on your own and have a nice day, Mr Lucas Hwang." And the call ends, I can't believe that I have made a grave mistake of calling my best friends' wife, it is no use and it shouldn't have even reassured myself that his wife would somehow betray her husband.

I deeply sighed, I might have to spend the night outside in some unknown location because it doesn't seem that I would even get to their apartment in time. Or I would just go back home but the newlyweds would get disappointed in me if they found out that I have given up on going to their housewarming party, and they might hate me for the rest of their lives for not showing up at their housewarming party.

But it is indeed their fault for not telling me the actual location and sending me to this weird area that I have still no idea how to get out, everything looks the same around me and I can't differentiate if the road that I am taking is the same as the road that I had driven 5 minutes ago or I am still going into the right road but it feels kind of wrong.

I remembered the times that I joked around with Jungwoo that he would get married someday in the future,  he shouldn't get a house in some kind of weird and isolated place or no one would come to visit him because they couldn't find it but now it seems that he took the joke a little too seriously and now I am stuck in his traps and I can't get out of it.

I sighed once again and thought long and hard of the last person that I would contact and that person would actually tell me the truth and not say anything that is nonsensical and ridiculous, it wouldn't be people from my cliqué because they are all in cahoots with each other and they have all come together to play tricks on me.

There is that one person but I am afraid that she might not pick up my call... But I still went ahead with calling her because I know that she wouldn't try to lie to me, there isn't any reason that she would do that to me. "Hello, who is it?"

Her voice was so sweet and charming just as I remembered it but it sounds even more charming on the phone. "I am Lucas, Lucas Hwang. May I know your location right now?"

"My location?" She asked.

"Yes, your location. I am on the way to Kim Jungwoo's and Seo Soojin's place and I think that they have given me the wrong address and I am kind of lost right now." I told her everything about what happened.

"What do you see around you? Are there a lot of trees?" She didn't give up on me at all, and she is patiently telling me the right directions to go to their place.

"Yes, a lot of trees," I told her. "Are they staying in some kind of treetop house or something?"

"Then you are on the right track, their house is located in the middle of the forest. If you follow the directions on the GPS, you should be stopping at some point when you see a parking lot with some cars, you can see their house from there." She explained. "Do you need me to help you with navigating? Because I can see you from where I am standing now, look at the car in front of you." I looked in front and she is waving at me, she looked incredibly lovely in that dress. How can she look that pretty in such a simple dress?
