Mingyu and Celine's destination for today is Joshua's penthouse, where they'll visit Kole and Kyla. Mingyu thought he'll be with her alone, just like the old times, but another person accompanies the two. The car they are using is Mingyu's, however, Minghao is in charge of the wheel. The driver felt an prickling stare behind him, on which he discovered was actually Mingyu's piercing gaze. Why is he mad? Minghao had no idea.
'We don't need a third wheeler. Tsss,' Mingyu complained inwardly.
The labeled third wheeler’s identity isn't new to the detective. Mingyu has an amazing memorization skills that he can recognize a person he met in a certain place and out of hundred other strangers at that time. For sure, a tall, charismatic and handsome Minghao isn't easy to forget. Besides, he always saw him hanging out with Celine these past few days; though Minghao didn't leave much impression to him due to his quietness. Never
Outside, the wind is in pit of rage, as if it is in his climax of revenge against every matters in the ground. It attended the tall trees, not just a gentleman's dance but like a battle whether it can pull their roots out or they'll remain unscathed when the grandiose visit comes to end. Reporters around the country are watching over different cities and province, reporting the current situation of Typhoon Hoshi's harms and hash in every part of the land. Radio announcers' voice were heard one after another house, as old people solely rely on their antique radios to hear the news about the typhoon. Middle age parents are busy fixing what needs to be fix in their house, or in some affected areas, they are waiting to hear the authorities' advice of evacuating; while youngsters, who are well-knowledgein using social medias as their main source to get new information's, have their own ways of expressing their fears, worries, prayers or even jokes online. Lov
Mingyu and Celine arrived at Joshua's penthouse. Even without the owner's presence, the maids and security that were assigned to guard the place have welcomed the two. Mingyu often comes here to visit his sister, and with that, he already made friends with the other guards. He might be called "Mad dog" in his field of work, but his rudeness only applies to those who are guilty for their sins. Mingyu is a friendly one. If not, then there's no way that he and Celine will be friends. Although there are times when he tested the lady's patience with his teasing personality. "I'll visit Kyla first," said Celine. Mingyu gave his affirmation by nodding his head. "Then I'll go to Kole right now." The two stood straight in front of two closed doors of rooms where Kole and Kyla resides for a moment. Celine stood by the right side door, while Mingyu's spot is at the left side. They looked at each other first, before they place
"You sure everything is alright, mom? I'm on way home. Sorry for coming so late. I'll be right back, okay? Don't worry too much. Alright mom, see you." Mingyu ended the call with his mom. Sitting at the back seat of the car, Mingyu put his phone back to his pocket then looked towards the window. It's already dark when the rain stopped, which might be fortunate because experiencing a strong typhoon at night will always be dreadful; when you can't see what's going around and you just need to rely on your other senses. At the right side, Celine stared nothing through the car window. There's always silence after storm, and as quiet as the surrounding, inside the car has the same vibe. No one dared to make sounds, as well as Minghao who's in charge of the wheel. It is not that they don't have energy to spare. Moving your lips doesn't require much strength. Even a dying person can utter words before he died. &nbs
Mingyu's white t-shirt is a little bigger to Minghao who has skinny and flexible built. It was Mingyu's long time wish to see his future girlfriend wearing his shirt but now, he would not look forward about that anymore. After Celine and Minghao changed their clothes, they went to the dining room. The foods on the table are feast in the eye, that Mingyu, who's a food lover, couldn't help but to gasp as he filled an empty seat. "Woah, this is so many!" It's been a long time since Bernadette had to cook for more than two people. So she's very excited to cook for Celine and the new guest. "Take a seat and enjoy the food." All took a seat. Not skeptical, Celine sat beside Mingyu because she used of sitting in that place. Well, it's hard to fight the old habit and it is also too late to change decision. Mingyu's mom will find it weird if she would suddenly demanded to rearrange the sitting positio
The wind calmed down, making the light rain, which is nature's version of a white noise machine, can now perceive as non-threatening. Unable to sleep, Mingyu went out of his room. He sat on the old crib that turned into a vintage style bench with a beer on his hand. He put the can down on a center table then with the base of his thumb, he applied pressure on the can opening until the seal breaks a little bit; that allows some of the pressurized gas to escape without making the loud pop. 'Gsssssss' Mingyu raised it and took a sip. "Ahhhhhh," he gasped in pleasure. Monsoons always bring the cravings for something crisp and spicy. Thus, having a light-bodied-yet-bold beer will claim to offer the best vibes during this season. However, it's not the craving that fed his will to grab one. "I couldn't sleep again," he sighed. Back then, he endured sleepless nights when
"Uhmmm, I didn't want to hide this from you. But since you already know, then..." Celine took a deep breath before she continued, "That's right. Kyla likes you." There was a misunderstanding. Celine thought that Mingyu knows that Kyla likes him and that he was curious to know more about her feelings! However, Mingyu kept his mouth shut. Celine scratched her nape. "She asked me if I can, you know, introduce you to her." "..." "So I said, yes." Wait a minute. It's different. Mingyu noticed that Celine's story is different from Kyla's. "But after that, I unintentionally spoke ill about you," she shared in low tone. "I asked her if she is willing to befriend someone who looks like a giant monster. And I also said that she is too pretty for y
With both hands of the clock towards the heavens, midnight arrived. Moonlight travelled through the window to neither warm or freeze the sleeping beauty's cheek. Wonwoo frowned a little before his eyes opened. He didn't wake up because the moonlight is too blinding, or it's because he thought it's already morning. Indeed, midnight is the beginning of the day, but still, no one consider it as the perfect time to wake up. 'I dozedoff,'Wonwoo sighed to himself. While waiting for Celine's reply to his text, he fell asleep. And so when he woke up, he quickly checked his phone. However, he's disappointed that he received nothing from his fake sister. He exhaled slowly, putting his phone onto his chest that is rising and falling as he kept on sighing. Looking at the ceiling, he remembered the time when he can still peacefully sleep without waiting for someone to come home. &n
Jeonghan was asked to come home at Yoon's residence. It's not been that long since Kloper forced his son to formally introduce his girlfriend through a dinner. But now he's looking for him again. "What's with the old man again?" Jeonghan blurted while walking inside the huge house. Actually, Jeonghan has clues why he was asked to meet his father. It's either about his marriage with Celine or about the winner of the paintball game. 'If he's bothered about that Eugene's wish, then he must be guilty. Or he must be so nervous that his effort of framing Celine's father will put in vain if the investigation begin,'the second heir wondered as he walked. Afraid that all of his hypothesis are right, he stopped. Oddly, he found himself looking at the door of his mom's room. It was the door that he always visited when he was young. His parents have separated bedrooms. And although they su

But as soon as he got there, the three men asked him questions about the maid named Lucy. She is the exclusive maid of his mother, Celine. “How’s Lucy? Did she receive the flower that I sent to her?” Seungkwan asked. “Does she has plan this weekend?” Hoshi inquired. “Did you tell her that uncle Dokyeom misses her so much?” Dokyeom interrogated. The young boy crossed his arms while looking at the three grown up who are acting like kids. Not long after, there’s a sneer in his red lips. “Uncles,” Jeshuel said. “Yes?!” the three said in unison, excited to hear his answer. “Do you know that the world right now is experiencing Economic hardship?” “...” “...” “...” Jeshuel took a deep breath and continued, “Economic hardship refers to psychological dis-tress that results from a perception of relatively low economic resources. Hardship is contrasted with poverty, whi

Inside the small, windowless room with a brick-walled, the old woman, Kelly, is sitting on the ground with handcuffs around her wrinkled wrist. Her apathetic eyes went to the steel door in front which is equip with locks and bolts. The place is cold. Each breath slipped from her dried lips feels like there’s a frosting of white that blankets her; air thicken with the stench of her own breath. Cold and clammy, her hands and feet numb with the damp, like she’s been wrapped went sheets for long days. Her lifeless eyes roamed around the jail cell where soon could be her grave. Kelly already accepted it. She accepted dying in the hands of the organization she tried to eradicate along with Ben. She is a talented pharmacologist who makes different drugs, thinking that it will help the world be a better place. But now that Ben died, she has no wills to continue living.

She was mad to hear him saying thank you as if she was only forced to be by his side. “I’ll wait for the day when you can finally let me enter your heart,” he continued, grabbing both sides of her face with his hands and continued moving his hips. Celine’s hand on his shoulder clenched. “But now, I am contended with this. I am happy already,” he breathed fiercely, his deep eyes gazing at her. Celine is moaning, feeling his hardness rubbed on her and she still had to bite her lower lip with all her might to keep from telling him that he does not need to thank her. Seeing how she couldn’t respond, Jeonghan smiled bitterly at her silence. Her heart ached as she saw his eyes darken. She wanted to console him somehow. And so, she kissed him again while wrapping he

It look somehow… fierce. Although she had felt that rubbed between her thighs before, it had never occurred to her that she will put that inside her mouth.‘Will it fit?’ Her eyes widened.She realized that she did not think if it is okay to suck it but she’s more worried if that will fit in her mouth! Celine was so shocked to herself.Jeonghan let out a mischievous smile as he watched Celine, who was faltering while laying down on the bed.“Can you do it? My innocent wife?” he asked.Celine drew a deep breath. Her pupils shook.Jeonghan told her before that they don’t need to do real sex to make him feel good but…‘Isn’t this the same as having s
