"I don't need another drink," said no one last night. Sleepy heads, nauseous people and tired souls seemed like Dionysus did his job quite well.
It was 9 AM already. The sun shone brighter than before, it was a calm day until April woke up. She was living her," been there, done that, regretted that," phase but what made it more hilarious was the fact that she had no idea what she did or said last night.
April's POV
I woke up with a strong headache. Why is it so bright? My eyes were still not open. Picking up my phone I checked the time. What 9, already? I quickly got up from my bed which made my head hurt even more. I rushed downstairs only to find Jeong munching on my snacks.
"Where is Luke?" I asked him grabbing the bag of chips from his hands. "Rise and Shine," he replied smiling.
"Jeong, where is Luke?" I asked controlling my anger.
"He left." He replied unbothered.
"Left?" I asked.
"Yeah, he left," Jeong said without paying much attention.
Well, just so you know Jeong happens to be my roommate and my classmate. He's almost as crazy as Luke.
"Do you know you're getting on my nerves?" I gave him the look.
"By the way, do you remember what you did last night?" With that he burst into laughter.
"What did I do last night?" I moved forward towards him with wide eyes.
"What did I miss?" Luke said walking in with groceries.
I gave Jeong an eye.
"Maybe the explanation about how she knows everything, literally," Jeong said.
"By the way, you are well aware of my family situation but how do you know that I was here for exactly that purpose?" Luke asked.
"Well, because I am smart, duh!" I said.
"Please, tell me how?" Luke asked.
" Well, for the very first time you were nervous talking to me and when I asked you what is it about you tried to cover up by being over excited. When Jeong asked you about what's going on and you started speaking very fast in Korean so I wouldn't understand. But I do know what it means when your name, my name and marriage falls into the same sentence." I winked at him.
"Even though it's been 6 months of us living together, your " know-it-all" ability still scares me," added Jeong.
"You know you're too wise that it terrifies me too, sometimes," he said with an scared face.
"Trust me one of us has to be," I smirked.
With that Luke hugged me.
"And this is why his family still have their hopes up," I said with a straight face and then we busted into laughter.
"Oh, by the way did you tell her what did she say to that stranger last night?" Jeong said controlling his laugh.
"Tell me already," I sighed.
"I want chicken or a boyfriend but I'm not about the commitment, and I'm craving KFC," they both mimicked me and fell down laughing.
"Oh crap, and where the hell were you?"
"Busy buying you more drinks," Luke chuckled.
"You guys had one job" I added.
Leaving those two crackheads behind I quickly got ready to leave for work.
Keeping my shades on I got into the lift. My under eye bags and worn out expression made it quite evident that I was still in an hangover phase.
The lift opened I moved towards my department greeting everyone on the way with a pleasant smile. Little did they know that I was sleep deprived. Opening the door I found Hwan sitting on his seat back facing the door.
"Good morning!" I wished him keeping my bag aside.
It was unusual because generally he would have thrown a bunch of questions at me by now. I let it slide.
커피를 가져 오시면 저도 커피를 사주시겠습니까? 그동안 서류를 준비하겠습니다. ( Would you mind getting me coffee too if you are going to fetch one for yourself?) I asked him.
나 한테 커피 가져다달라고하는거야? (Are you asking me to get you a coffee?) Said a man who was definitely not Hwan.
"Wait, you're not Hwan," I said it out loud seeing the magnificent unknown man in front of me.
Of course, I said it in English.
"미안하지만 넌 환이 아니야. 여긴 그의 직장이야." (Sorry, but you are not Hwan, this is his workplace.) I corrected myself.
"I understood it the first time you said it," he said smiling.
With embarrassment eating me up. I left the room and fastened my pace towards the lobby with only one thought running through my head,
Who was he?
