There was Vincent smiling like an idiot who has been scolded for unknown reason but had no idea and kept on laughing. Jae Won on the other hand was happy to see him but couldn't help to remember the last time they were together and how hurt he was.
As Jae Won stood up from the couch having a showdown with Vincent, all his mind was in chaos that he didn't even see the moment Vincent walked up to him from the door to hug him "there you are, I miss you so much" Vincent said drawing Jae Won back to earth from his trance "Uurm, so am I" Jae Won replied.
What could be possibly be the reason for Vincent to come all the way from school to be at home. He alone can't be the reason just because they fought not exactly so but he can't be the reason why.
Even though he thought this way but he couldn't help but smile because if that's the only reason then doesn't it mean he was important to Vincent and somehow made him come all the way from his two hour drive from the school just to come home.
Even though Jae Won thought he knew the reason but he still asked just to be sure he wasn't getting ahead of himself "Uurm, wh…what are you doing back here?" Asked hesitant Jae Won as he managed to get free from Vincent hug.
Vincent moved back a little from Jae Won while his smiles still in contact with his face "Jae, come on. Don't tell me you've forgotten?" Vincent replied but this made Jae Won more confused because he knows Vincent would have to go for his internship and he had presume he was already there or they are about to start.
"Forgot about what? I only know you have to go do your internship which has nothing to do with you being back home" Jae Won said as he strode back to sit on the couch.
Vincent placed the gifts he bought down the floor as he also strode over to Jae Won and sat next to him. "Okay okay I'm home for my internship" Vincent said as he got Jae Won to turned quickly to look at him and the eyes that looked straight into his eyes was warm and confused too.
As Jae Won was still confused by what he meant, Vincent had to clarify himself better "I'm interning at my father's company for the next two to three months. So it's like I never left".
Jae Won who heard this was so happy internally wishing he could jump around in excitement but he had to maintain some kind of posture only he knew what he meant. "So this mean Emelia would be interning at daddy's company too" but Vincent expression was 'when did you call my father daddy' look on his face.
"Yeah she is. Oh and I have asked daddy to let her stay here since her place is far away from school and the company" Vincent said.
Jae Won, "..."
What could be the reason for Emelia to be allowed in this mansion not that he was jealous but it felt weird for him. Though he knew Vincent had rejected her proposal several times and only consider her as a sister but he couldn't help but feel a certain way which was about to proven he was right in the next thirty minutes.
Vincent went back to pick the gifts he left it and open the gift bags to share among his siblings and Jae Won. His parents gift were in a different gift bag which wasn't heavy at first glance.
Vincent opened the gifts bag and placed it's content all over the coffee table which he divided them according to his siblings so they wouldn't fight over this and that.
After he was done he placed a particular gift bag in front of Jae Won which was together with his parents as he thought it also belonged to them "here's yours" Vincent said as he point his finger towards the bag in front of Jae Won while his other hand scratching at the bridge of his nose.
Jae Won immediately opened them and his eyes lit up as he saw the content in the bag. He couldn't help but hug Vincent tightly Vincent had to tap on his hand to announce his defeat like in a wrestling match.
Jae Won remembered something "so where is Emelia?" He asked because he didn't see her along with Vincent. "*coughed….urrm, you know how she had to pack a few things to come so she will probably be here in the evening or tomorrow morning".
But before Jae Won could fully process the information, Vincent phone rang which directed his attention to him.
"Hello baby?" Vincent said as he answered the phone and walked away from Jae Won as if the conversation was a top tier secret which indeed was.
Jae Won, "???"
Jae Won, "…."
'What in the name just happened right now?" Jae Won thought. Just a month and Vincent is already calling someone baby and even had to walk away from him to receive this call. Which was weird because Vincent always receives his call even when he was with him so what was this situation which kept Jae Won thinking and pacing waiting for Vincent to come explain it right now.
The moment he saw Vincent opening the door, he immediately sat back down on the couch as if he was not pacing just a second ago.
"Uuuurm, wh..who was that? Who we…were you calling ba..baby?" Stammered Jae Won as he fumbled with his words hoping it's just a joke Vincent was playing at but the expression Vincent was giving right now was not of someone who was joking and had to wait to listen to his response.
Vincent finally answered after a long seconds of waiting "it's my girlfriend". He answered as Jae Won blinked faster for the hundredth time like a store toy processing what he had just heard.
"What? Who...?" Jae Won finally said something but he didn't like what came next. "Emelia is my girlfriend now" he answered the question that wasn't fully a question.
How did it happened? For one to know let's go back to the day Jae Won was picked up by the driver. That was a month ago.
Vincent kept thinking about Jae Won not talking to him or answering his calls and he knew he was done. He thought he can't possibly have feelings for Jae Won because he had been single for a long time and that might be the cause.
The only solution he thought was to find a girlfriend and who was available for him right now was Emelia.
After Jae Won left the school, all he could think about was the kiss between him and Jae Won and the funny thing which kept him laughing like a villain was he wanted to kiss him again even though he said they should forget about it.
He thought maybe if he could talk to Jae Won on the phone, that feelings will subside but Jae Won wasn't picking his calls nor was he returning them. Which made him took the last measure he thought was the best option.
Three days after Jae Won had left, he visited Emelia who was drunk on her couch even though she hadn't taken any alcohol.
Emelia cursed at the person who kept ringing her door bell clearly not taking no for answer as an excuse for them to presume she wasn't around but Vincent knew she was in there.
"Can't you fuckin take a h….Vincent!!!" Exclaimed Emelia who had just opened the door only to be met with the same person who had rejected her four days ago "what are you doing here? Are you gonna rub salt in my wounds. See, I'm gonna get over you since no matter how hard I try, you don't see me as a woman" she kept on blabbering not giving Vincent a chance to state his reason why he was there in the first place.
Vincent cleared his throat loudly grasping the attention of the talkative who wouldn't paused for a moment "that's the reason why I came here" Vincent finally said something after Emelia was quiet.
Emelia, "..."
"What do you mean that's the reason why you are here?" She asked but didn't wait for an explanation when she continued "don't tell me you are here to apologize because I don't need your apology and besides no woman wants to be apologize for confessing to a man who has rejected them. It makes us feel weird" she said slamming the door in front of Vincent.
Vincent, "….."
'Wow, so fierce' Vincent thought as he kept on knocking on the door but as he was still being ignored, he threw out the bomb "I came here to accept to be your boyfriend".
Emelia, "...."
She thought she heard it wrong so she opened the door to listen to what Vincent had said earlier.
"What?" Emelia asked.
"I said I'm accepting to be your boyfriend" Vincent answered.
Emelia, "holy shit".
