Jaehyun was sitting on the seat across mine. It was pretty blatant that he was comfortable in this place like Eunwoo whose sitting beside me. Everyone seemed at ease and used to his presence.
I didn't peg him as a man who went to places likes this. He looks decent and zealous, but I guess entering the life of elites and socialites, I should get used to them bringing surprises.
I took a mental note in my head to expect the unexpected every time, so I won't look naive.
Eunwoo keeps on talking to me while I tried my best to reply. I just can't seem to draw my attention to our conversation since Jaehyun is distracting me too hard than I expected.
Even though I'm not looking at his way, I can still feel his gaze to me.
Did he already figure that it was me who stole his wallet? If he did, then I am doomed. I am less worried, though, since I think he will never attempt on confronting me since he doesn't want to come up as the fool.
A rich guy is always equal to an egoistic guy who never accepts a defeat. Jaehyun and even Eunwoo is not an exception.
"Ready?" Eunwoo asked, smirking at me while the dealer was distributing the cards.
I just answered him with a shrug.
With every card placed in front of me, my heart just kept leaping in its normal beat. I feel like after this game ends, I'll adopt a cardiac arrest or a heart attack. This is too much for me.
Sure Irene and I had practice, but still, this is the actual game. I never played this before, and one wrong move will be the end of me.
"I open..." Eunwoo while looking at me. "10 million won," he said, cocking his head to the side as if challenging me.
I stared at my card. I only got three of a kind-10 diamond, 10 clubs, and 10 spades. I didn't like my chances... but I needed to be aggressive as he is to trigger his whole interest to me.
I need Eunwoo to be finally in my hand so I can able to manipulate him.
"I raise to 20 million won," I replied, looking smug.
Irene told me she's going to carry the money I will gamble. I'll trust her with all my luck and beyond.
I gulped and creaked my head to watch Jaehyun's reaction. The side of his lips rose as if he was liking what he is seeing.
"Call," Eunwoo said.
"Call," Jaehyun coldly said.
It is his first time uttering a word, and it is eerie than I expected it to be. The last time I remembered, he wasn't like this.
The other players with us, they just folded. We, three: Eunwoo, Jaehyun, and I are the only remaining person who is bold enough to continue the game.
