2024-10-29 19:42:56Akiaya had smiled at the memory and hugged her tighter. She ruffled her hair and kissed her cheek. "You horrid cousin! How could you get engaged before me and then not tell me? I'm inclined to disown you. What is your compensation?" Chun-Hei kissed her back on the cheek before lightly slapping her arm. "Sachon, I promise to let you eat and drink you're belly full and give you all the details of our relationship. Is that compensation enough kai mai?" Akiaya nodded her head in agreement and made her way inside of the Audi R8. She buckled herself in before turning to the driver side to ask her where they were going to go. Chun-Hei didn't look her way instead she just drove off, taking her in the direction of Club Opum. They booked the entire club, catered with tons of food. There were bottles and bottles of alcohol lined up behind the bar. The club started filling up with friends of Chun-Hei and her fiancé friends. Akiaya didn't recognize anyone.
8:45pm
The doors opened wide, the man of the hour walked in. Chun-Hei looked over to see that her fiancé was there. The sound of her heels clacking against the floor surrounded, the now quiet building. Everyone's attention turned towards the door. Akiaya eyes gleamed when she seen who her cousin wrapped her arms around. It was Victor Johnston. Her mouth dropped open and tears brimmed her eyes. She couldn't believe her eyes as she seen the man she loved in the arms of another woman; and the woman was her cousin. Akiaya looked up and away to stop the tears from falling down. She donned her best smile and walked over to them feigning happiness. She stood over to the side and cleared her throat. "Ahem, Mr. Johnston you didn't tell us you were engaged. My father would have thrown you a party as well." Victor looked at her with keen eyes then gave a smile. "Mrs. Eum I didn't expect you to be here. Do you know Chun-Hei?" Akiaya nodded her head while Chun-Hei chuckled. They both answered at the same time. "She's my sachon." They looked at each other and smiled. "Chu chu you didn't know Victor works for papa's company as the executive director?" She tsked at her cousin. "Well Victor, you must take exceptionally great care of my dear cousin. Or I'll make sure that fortune's favor gives you the worst luck ever. Your life will be a living hell." She gave him her sweetest smile even though her eyes held daggers within them. Victor looked taken aback at her sweet threat. He was dumbfounded.
Akiaya walked away keeping her emotions in check. She reached the bar and sat down. The bartender came near her and she placed her order. "Jell-O shots and keep them coming." The bartender nodded his head and brought her a row of shots. He lined up five different flavors in front of her; lime, Strawberry lemonade, blue Hawaiian, cherry bomb, and lemon drop. She downed them one after another. When she finished with those five, he gave her another set. She kept taking shot after shot until her mind became numb.
Time blurred as she continued taking shots. The bartender eventually stopped supplying her, the mind numbing alcoholic dessert. Akiaya attempted to stand up. Her legs were like jelly as she walked out towards the bathroom. She bumped into someone. Looking up she caught sight of beautiful grey eyes. She gave him a smile but it looked more like a grimace. She attempted to walk past him; only to trip over her own foot. How clumsy of her. Her body lurched forward colliding into him. The sudden movement jolted her stomach. She looked up to see beautiful gray eyes. Once she landed on top of him, Akiaya emptied the contents from her stomach onto his shirt. Soon her eyes closed as she passed out.

12:11amAkiaya woke up in a hotel room. Her head throbbing from all the shots she had consumed. Sitting up slowly, a washcloth fell from her head. She looked around to see a half-naked, strange man next to the bed. "Who the hell are you?" Confusion and terror swirled in her eyes. The man gently patted her hand. "It's alright. You got sick at the club. I mean you actually puked on my shirt. I brought you to a hotel not far, so you could sober up. Doesn't seem like you to get shitfaced like that. Do you want to talk about what caused you take shots like you were guzzling water?" Her face blushed at his candid words. She looked at him wondering if she could tell him the truth. She was starring into his face absentmindedly for several minutes before she explained to him what happened. "Well its like this mister. My cousin is getting married which honestly I am so, so happy for her but the problem I have with it is; that her fiancé is the guy I've been in love with ever since I sta

It was fate when he had seen her in the club. His heart fluttered with glee seeing her wavy hair and almond shaped green eyes. She hadn't changed much from their school days until now. Akiaya was more womanly since the last time he saw her. Her body was much more developed and voluptuous. It could have been the genetics from her mother side. He had sat by the bar watching her. Takeyasu knew she wouldn't recognize him at all. After all, he had changed from the scrawny, glasses wearing kid to a well toned man. Whoever said time changes everything was indeed right. Takeyasu was now a walking Adonis compared to before. Women willingly threw themselves at him, which he happily obliged giving them a bit of slap and tickle.He had seen almost immediately when her face fell and her heart shattered but just as swiftly she schooled her features and was a mask of indescribable dignity and happiness.

Once he was standing he cradled Akiaya closer to his vomit soaked chest and walked towards his car. He had hoped the cool air would help her sober up a bit but she never stirred. Placing her in the car he reclined the seat and buckled her in. Retreating to the driver side he drove them both to his hotel room. Takeyasu picked her up and walked inside letting the front desk know that he will need his shirt laundered. He received a nod of his head and stepped in the elevator pressing the button for the presidential suite. It wasn't always a suite he would use but he had wished to entertain some ladies but those thoughts were dashed when he had seen her at the event. She would take precedence over any other woman.Takeyasu made her comfortable on the bed before removing her dirty clothing. When the knock came to the door he had already had their things in a bag waiting for them. His attention returned to her, but before they could leave he called out to the staff. "I'l

Takeyasu lead Akiaya to the hotel dining room. There before them was a buffet style breakfast laden with food from all over the world. She couldn't help the water gathering in her mouth. Everything looked so delectable. She looked over to him just to see if it really was alright for her to indulge. When he didn't make any complaints against it she grabbed a plate and loaded it with her favorite foods. It had been a godsend when she was able to travel the world with her father and partake of foods from around the world. Her plate was topped with pancakes, poached eggs, whipped cream and syrup. She had grabbed a bowl for soup.When she knew that was all she wanted, she went to take a seat. Bowing to her meal she said her prayers and waited for him. Takeyasu wasn't hungry just yet and instead followed her to the table. The minute she seen he had nothing to eat her scowl became evident. "You need to eat. Go get something.

Akiaya looked at the time to see she still had a few hours before she would need to be ready an presentable for work. The desire to call her father and tell him she wasn't well was very enticing but despite the events of last night and this morning her job was more important to her. Nothing and no one would keep her from reaching her goal. Especially that dumb joke made by Takeyasu. Whatever he was thinking she knew he needed his head examined.She was close to her destination when her phone rang. The number had been programmed in her phone as "my one and only." She looked confused and let it continue to ring. The only person she had ever been in love with was Victor Johnston and he never had her number, so she couldn't grasp who it would have been. Her phone rang once more from

When it was thirty minutes past her usual leave time he phoned the CEO. "Sir, Miss Akiaya hasn't come down yet…" Just as he was about to ask what did he want to do she came down the stairs. "My apologies sir she's here now." The call ended before Akiaya got in. "Hello Ryeo. Sorry for being late." She elegantly got in. Ryeo rushed to the driver's side after closing the door.

Takeyasu didn't take long to ladle a bowl of doenjiang jigae. He then grabbed a banana, apple, and pear. Walking slowly he made it back to his seat. Seeing her satisfied smile gave him butterflies in his stomach. He did his best to keep his features from betraying how he truly felt in that moment. He watched her eat her breakfast with gusto. It was oddly cute and familiar to him. Takeyasu wanted to cement this memory in his mind forever. Sneakily he took out his phone and captured her stuffing a piece if pancake in her mouth, Akiaya eyes were closed and a dribble of whipped cream was on the corner if her mouth. He put away his phone.

Victor couldn't believe the text he had received from Takeyasu, "…. Talk me up to Miss Akiaya.." it was ludicrous. Akiaya was the epitome of mousey women in his eyes, but she had managed to capture Takeyasu attention, his best friend who happened to ooze sex appeal. Maybe she was more unruly outside of the office than he realized. Victor always thought she was quiet and reserved seeing as she pushed herself to be promoted from a mail clerk to assistant to the CEO in just a short two years. That or she used her feminine wiles on her bosses then black mailed them afterwards. No, she's too innocent to be that way in his eyes.Victor gathered his things and headed for the elevators. He had been hoping that with all the hours he'd been investing into the company, that old man Geun Hye would turn the company over to him, but short of marrying Akiaya; something he didn't want to do, he could only work hard and hope that Akiaya gave up on the business. His assistant got in the elevato

Takeyasu was just about to walk inside the hospital when he saw the same man from earlier. He stopped at the door, unwilling to go inside. Did she really let go of her feelings for him or was this just a coincidence? The man didn't see him when Takeyasu made up his mind to go in. He planned on ignoring him when he heard a small snippet of his conversation. "Yeah, i didn't tell the doctor about the baby. No, they plan on giving her something.

Akiaya and Lu walked and talked throughout the entire neighborhood. She did feel uncomfortable with his hand against her lower back but didn't say anything. It's not like he meant anything by it. They started to pass by a café when her stomach began to growl. She looked away bashfully trying to hide her embarrassment. "It sounds like you haven't eaten anything.
