Serin smiled back at Jeremy. “Hi..” “Can I–" “Sure, why are you even asking? No need to ask..” Glenn butt in with haste while pulling the chair for Jeremy. “You came here to celebrate with us, didn’t you?” “Umm.. actually..” “Guys, guys!” Glenn spoke again, facing their colleagues. “Come on, let’s go inside.” “Eh???” “What’s surprising about going inside, huh?" "Because we love staying here outside Friz but.. why suddenly–" "For a change, okay? Besides, you’ve always wanted to hunt guys there, right?” “Sir???” Hana can’t believe her ears. Glancing at Jeremy, she suddenly feels hot because of her blushing face. “You’re embarrassing me in front of Mr. Jeremy Sean..” Glenn, giving Hana a teasing smile, just shrugged his shoulders in response and then turned around to leave. “Mr. Jeremy Sean..” Hana, taking her courage, looked at the guy. “Sir Glenn was only joking. He always, you know, teases us. He’s really like that so please don’t take what he said serious--” “Enough
Just right after Francis replied yes, he received a call from Carol. He immediately took it. "Hello, umm.. is there any problem?" "There's none, Mr. Francis, so you don't have to worry. Actually, I'm calling you right now to ask for your table number." "Table number??" "Yes. I need to know your table number because Sir Jeremy asked me to put your bill on his tab." "Wow, he's really.." Francis uttered, amazed and touched by Jeremy's generosity. "Is it okay if I just text you our table number after this call? I can't see it from here." "Sure, no worries." "Thanks.." "Thank you also." Carol ended the call. As he continued walking, he kept looking at his phone in hope to see Jeremy's reply. "What took you so long?" Brian asked as soon as Francis and Sam reached the table. "I received an important call." Francis replied while taking his seat. Sam, still busy with her phone, just sat down without saying anything. "Did you hear those people talk about Ma'am Serin and Mr. Jer
"No need to worry. Everything is fine and will be." With what Francis read, he felt greatly relieved. Jeremy’s reply just unloaded the suffocating heaviness in his heart. And because he already confirmed that there’s nothing to worry about as he fully trusts Jeremy, he is now in the mood to celebrate all night. He turned around, but was completely shocked seeing Sam already standing in front of him. The girl, giving him a scrutinizing stare, made a step closer to him. “Did I fluster you?” He hissed as he looked away. “Isn’t it obvious that you did?” “And why??” In disbelief, Francis hissed for the second time, still looking away. “I thought I was alone here but suddenly you showed up in front of me without making any sound. If you were me, wouldn’t you get flustered?” “But you’re not the type who gets startled easily.” “I do.” He faked a teasing smile. “If someone like you appears right to my face.” “I’m not buying your joke or whatever you call it, I’m sorry.” Sam crosse
“I can drop you off at your place.” Kaye, flustered, looked at Glenn who is now walking beside her. “A..Are you saying.. you’re giving me a r..ride home?” The guy nodded. “So, you can at least reach home a bit faster. Besides, your apartment is quite near my place.” The girl blushed, unable to reply. She feels shy, obviously. But why? It’s not even the first time Glenn has treated her that way. Nothing’s new with how he acts a real gentleman at the moment because that is his true self. He’s always nice to everyone. “You must feel uncomfortable going home with me.” “It’s not like that, sir..” “Then why refuse?” “Umm..” She cleared her throat. “Giving me a ride home will only cause you inconvenience.” He hissed, but still smiling. “Isn’t it more inconvenient for Brian to drive you home? He can do that for Hana because they live in the same neighborhood. But our place is totally opposite to theirs, so it’s kinda tiring for you and especially for Brian.” Silence fell on Kaye. Gl
As Jeremy undressed Serin, his heart raced insanely fast. The girl’s half-naked body, only with a pair of strikingly red underwear, drove him totally crazy. He grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him. He then slowly kissed the back of her ear down to her jaw. Their lips touched again, deep kisses followed. While they were drowning in gratifying ecstasy, their hands pleasurably wandered on their steamy bodies. Serin ran her fingers through his hair and lovingly stroked the back of his head going around his neck down to his shoulders. Repeatedly doing it, her caresses got more and more electrifying, making Jeremy kiss her neck with burning affection. The taste of such luscious flesh was just so appetizing that he could no longer stop feasting on it. She's so hot and tempting, driving him insane. Now on inescapable fire, he got more passionate and devoured her neck with wild kisses while aggressively owning her hourglass body. He traced the sexy curves of her S-line figure, from h
“Thank you, sir.. but I can still book another—” “Why go through a hassle if you can conveniently ride my car?” “I appreciate your kindness, but—” “Good timing.” He cut her in for the second time. “G..Good timing?” He nodded, trying to suppress a smile. “He’s here.” The driver just showed up. “Sorry, sir. I’m a bit late.” “It’s okay, we’re not in a hurry.” Glenn handed the key to the driver and then rushed to the car to get the door for Kaye. But the girl’s feet seemed glued on the floor, unable to make even a single step. “Should I carry you or what?” Worried the guy might really do what he said, Kaye stepped back. “It’s not rush hour anymore so it’s no longer hard to catch a taxi. You can leave now, sir.” “How can I leave you here alone?” He closed the door and leaned against his car. “But if you insist, then book a ride.” He held out his hand with her phone, giving it back to her. “I won’t leave unless I see you get inside the taxi.” She gulped, feeling her throat sudden
“Sir Glenn..” She looked at him only to feel butterflies in her stomach because the guy also looked at her the moment she called his name. Defeated, she felt the world stop spinning. Her heart went wild, pounding insanely. Rush of heat painted her face red. It’s only a first try to confirm what she truly feels towards him but she already got a clear answer. She did fall for him tonight, that fast. “Why?” He broke the girl’s long pause. Stunned as to what she was about to say because she’s nervously lost, she just shook her head. “N..Nothing, sir.” Puzzled, he tilted his head a bit while studying her face. “Are you okay?” She only nodded. “Are you sure?” She nodded again. “Your face doesn’t show though.” “W..Why? What’s with.. my face?” She did her best to speak despite feeling extremely nervous. “It’s completely red. You’re blushing too much.” ‘Shit!’ She cursed in her head. “Umm.. I must be drunk.” She lied, because the truth is, she didn’t drink a lot. A more confused look
Varieties of cooking ingredients on the kitchen counter overwhelmed Jeremy. He only wants to prepare a simple breakfast for Serin but he ended up taking out almost everything in the fridge. Such a dizzying crisis had him release a deep sigh. He then looked at his watch. It’s past 6. It’s too early so he doesn’t have to panic, but he feels like he needs to rush because Serin might wake up any moment. “Okay, I got this.” He got his phone and started googling breakfast recipes. Blueberry pancakes, sausage platter, sandwiches, waffles and a lot more. Countless breakfast ideas keep showing but he is still clueless as to what to cook for Serin. He stopped googling and walked to the sink to wash his hands. He’ll just cook whatever he spots on the counter, what matters is his intention to serve Serin a simple yet full of love breakfast. He walked back to the counter while drying his wet hands. He doesn’t cook and he can’t either but he’s gonna put a lot of effort in cooking because it’s th
“Serin spoke in her sleep twice and during those moments, I vanished in the palace and appeared here in this present time. She must be wandering in her dreams, that’s what I am thinking right now.”Whirling emotions, Jeremy was having the same thoughts. Events that involved Serin’s dreams suddenly reappeared in his clear memory.On the night of his 18th birthday, he found Serin on Desf Road. He heard her call him Heron and when he was about to carry him, she longingly touched his face and painfully uttered, “Heron, you’re alive. I’m glad you’re alive.” Those were the same exact words that came out from her in her sleep before Sodon vanished in the past and was brought here in this present time.Jeremy could also remember the day he and Serin had a heated confrontation just because she went out of his condo unit without telling him. When they clashed for the first time, while her
When Jeremy began to notice that Dave had been treating him completely different from how he used to, he already knew why. Slowly getting closer to Serin, Dave had been falling for Serin. And with the fact that Jeremy was the one who found her on Desf Road and rescued her on that rainy night, Dave’s jealousy started to consume him. That was what Jeremy thought, but the painful truth was, Dave had silently hated him even before Serin came to his life.As his condition got horribly worse, Dave buried himself in a deeper state of misery. Since he fell terribly ill the day after his mom passed away, he had become miserably hopeless. He had been tortured and haunted by his own demons in his agitated mind. His own misery completely darkened his life. And the only one who could help him see even a spot of light was his younger brother.In his teenage years, Jeremy had to carry the heaviest weight on his shoulders. If it’s not for Dave, he could h
Criminal, that torturing word.The moment Dave uttered that word, his heart agonizingly broke. His confession, in an instant, took him to that gruesome and haunting night when he was nothing but a horrible monster.Year 2009, the night of his younger brother’s 14th birthday when he thought that his mom was busy in the kitchen preparing for the surprise birthday dinner for Jeremy. While he was in his room, suddenly the door opened.Dave’s body froze when he got caught using illegal drugs. With his mom’s widened eyes, both of them got completely shocked. His extreme nervousness made him throw the drugs in a rush, hands were quivering.Total gloom darkened Leona Sean’s face. Her steps towards her son got heavier. Her beautiful world fell apart.“W..Will you.. turn me in.. to the p..police.. this time?” Dave fearfully asked with his trembling voice and bloody red eyes.Leona
That phone call, in an instant, darkened his bright day. He was sure who was on the other line. That voice, he knew it.That was him, the old man whom he ran into Campbell Park across Tiffany Blue the night when odd occurrences terribly knocked him with shocking terror and absurd affliction. That was nine years ago but Jeremy could still remember him as clear as day. But that was not the first and last time their paths crossed.Five years ago, that old man suddenly showed up on Desf Road and gave him the black silk thread bracelet. And even until now, how that old man quickly disppeared before his sight on that endless and empty road still bothered him.When that old man called him Heron from the other line, for the first time in so many years, that name began to haunt him again. Like flashes of lightning that suddenly disturbed the tranquil dark sky, strikes of overwhelming fear started to frighten him.Jeremy sped up.
Serin suddenly woke up. That scenario in her dream was filled with strange familiarity.That mountain. That sword. That guy. Those men on horses. That old man.She could not help but feel like she had already seen them before, not in her dreams but in real life.In haste, she left the bed and walked straight to the closet. As soon as she opened it, she got her black dress.Looking at the embroidered name on the back collar, she felt sudden pain.She did have a name but her identity had remained mysterious. Her memory was still completely empty.Eyes locked on her black
'I'm glad that you're finally here.. right next to me.' It was like a sweet tune to her heart. Serin flashed a warm smile. The pouring rain became a beautiful shower in her teary eyes.No more hesitation, Jeremy fearlessly faced her. The girl, who was standing before him, had given him unfeigned strength during his silent battles. He had yearned for her which felt like forever. Every day and every night, he had waited for this moment. If it's just a dream, he did not want to wake up. But Jeremy was not dreaming, it's real. He was looking into Serin's beautiful eyes."Welcome back. It's nice to see you again." He was floating in a surge of profound happiness. Words alone could not describe what he was feeling at the moment.Serin exchanged tearful smiles with him. Her heart was also exclaiming in unexplainable delight. All those shared moments with him flashed back. From the first time their longing eyes met to the saddest day they p

Five years ago."I will send you the exact address, sir." A male voice said on the other line."You have done such a great job. I will call you if I need something. Thank you." Dave ended the phone call. Nervousness began to tremble him while hurrying downstairs.Carl, the private detective that he had hired, managed to find Yenny in just four weeks.As soon as he walked past the living room, someone, who was comfortably sitting on the luxuriously-looking sofa, caught his eyes. He stopped walking. 'What is she doing here?'"Hi, Dave!" Gail greeted him. She rose up from sitting and walked to where he was standing. She was displaying her beautiful smile. "Where are you going? You must be in a rush.""What brings you here?" He asked coldly."You still have the courage to show up this house after you caused a scene here a month ago?" Jeremy showed up. He was talking about the nig
Gail simpered. "You think you can fool me??" Gail thought that Dave was just fooling around to tease her since he already knew that she had feelings for Jeremy."What if she really likes my brother, will you do something?""I won't do anything because that's not true and that will never happen." There was certainty in her voice. "Since when did you become fond of playing jokes on someone?She let out a heavy sigh. "Driving for almost three hours now must bore you. If boredom is killing you, play some music. Stop spitting non-sense.""What will I get if I play a joke on you?" He sounded so serious while his eyes were focused on driving.Gail looked at him. How his face plastered seriousness could tell that he was no longer teasing her. That's what Gail felt but the truth was, Dave was only acting. He had to fake seriousness in his voice and expression to persuade her that he was telling the truth.
