Chapter 6

May was still having her bathe under the warm shower when she heard a knock.

"Huh? Who's that? Doesn't the person knows I'm having my bathe?" She thought.

"Who is that?!" She asked.

"It's me" It was Coral's voice.

"What? Coral? I don't understand...That girl? What is she doing here? Doesn't she know she I'm having my bathe?" May thought, perturbed.

"What do you want?" May asked.

"Open up. I wanna take something in the bathroom" Coral replied.

"What!" May yelled, and opened her tightly closed eyes.

"Is she crazy?!" May thought aloud.

Because her eyes were opened, the foamy substance from the soap entered her eyes.

"Oww!" May whimpered and took her face right to the shower.

The water poured down directly to her face and she wiped her eyes with her palm.

"Hello, are you there?" Coral asked, softly.

"What did you say earlier?" May asked, thinking she heard wrong.

"I said I want to get something in else"

"What? What....what's that supposed to mean? Hello, I'm having my bathe. Can't you wait,, What's wrong with you?"

"Sorry, I was just trying to....We are girls anyways, what wrong with that?"

"Don't act like we are close even though we are girls...I'm almost done. Just wait" May said, and after few minutes, she came out.

"Done" May said, looking at her.

Coral nodded with a smile. She went in and locked the door.

"What's wrong with her? She gives me the creeps" May shivered and ran to the room.

There was a bed, a table, a chair and a wardrobe. Few essential things were also in the room.

May dried, creamed her body and dressed herself quickly before Coral came in.

She took her phone and went down stairs, to the restaurant. She met Raymond drinking soju.

"Hey, what's with you? Why are you drinking?" She asked.

Raymond looked at her and returned back to his drinks.

"I can't sleep. Drinking this makes me sleep"

May sighed and sat close to him in another long stool.

"What do you mean? You must be tired. You had a long day today"

"How's Coral?" He asked, whispering.

"Why ask me about her? Do I look like a family or friend to her?. Who's she to you, anyway?" May asked, taking a glass.

She filled it with soju and slowly took it to her mouth.

"She's my first love...

May quickly spilled out the content from her mouth which poured on the huge table before them.

"I started having feelings for her since middle school"

"Aiish! Why are you telling me?" May asked in annoyance.

"Cause you asked?" He replied.

"You shouldn't have been honest then. Why didn't you lie?,, It would have been better that way"

"Cause I'm a honest person. So as you know, I loathe liars"

"Aiish! You just ruined my night. She isn't even beautiful"

"No. She's very beautiful"

"....What about me? Ain't I beautiful?" May asked, cutely.

"...No, you are just...there"

"What? Just there? You too....You aren't handsome. You are just there"

"It's a lie" Raymond said.

"Many girls are dying for me" He added, smiling.

"What are you talking about?" May asked, irritated.

"The truth" Raymond looked at her.

"Don't add me amongst the girls. Girls might die for you but I can't. I don't even like you. I can't even droll for you"

"Whatever. I don't even want you or any other girl to like me" He said, laughing.

"....Are you drunk?" May asked, noticing his weird attitude.

"I just want Coral to like me back"

May looked at him and bursted out into a hard and shrill laughter which jerked Raymond.

"Wait, Coral doesn't like you? Ever since you knew her in middle school?"

"What? Is it funny?"

"Yesssss. Very funny. I thought you said all girls were dying for you-

"Well, except Coral. Uurgh...I really want to ask her out again"

"Wait, Again??!. you've asked her out before?" May was still laughing.

"Stop laughing"

"Ah...Don't tell me you got rejected she you asked her out?"

"Aiish...This is so embarrassing. I'm gonna go back in to sleep" He said, and stood up.

He was even staggering.

"You look quite drunk. Should I take you in?" She asked.

"No, I don't need your help, stalker!"

"What? Stalker?"

"Yes. Stalker. You stalked me, didn't you? All the way from the airport to my restaurant"

"I don't know what you are talking about. Being drunk is beginning to make you say trash. Go rest"

Raymond scoffed and slowly turned. With his staggering body, he made to the stairs.

May smiled as she watched him.

"Good night!" She said, loudly.

Raymond turned his face to her. He smiled and waved to her.

"Good night, Coral"

"Eh..Coral? I'm not.... Aiish...Just forget about it" May said and began to drink the soju on the table.

Raymond finally went up the stairs to his room.

"Such a day and night ruiner. He wrecker my day! Well, We won't be seeing each other ever again from tomorrow since I will be going home. I also pray Coral will reject and reject you again and again!" May yelled.

May returned to the soju and drank the whole bottles.

"Urrgh...Why...Why is this not coming out? Aiish...Ray...That Ray...He's the one who drank it all without telling me" She said, in a drunken voice.

She shook her eyes into the bottle opening and sniffed.

"Ayy...That fool finished it. Why does he keep breaking my heart. Don't worry, I'm gonna call my Mum and tell her...I'm gonna tell her everything. Then, she will have you arrested!" May yelled and started pressing her phone.

Sandra's Home,, 1pm***

Sandra opened her eyes the instant she heard the loud ringtone coming from her phone.

She quickly took it and happiness filled her heart when she saw it was from May. She accepted the call immediately.

"Hello...May-

"Mum?" May called, quickly cutting her off.

"Yes? May? It's mum. Oh goodness. You have no idea how worried I was. How's Italy? You there, right? Where are you now? Have you gotten a lounge already? I guess it is early in Italy seeing how you called me. Well, It's late now in Ko-

May started crying.

"Huh? May? What's going on? Did anyone-

"Italy....Italy...Italy is fine. I'm also living well here" May replied.

"So, why are you crying now? You need more cash or what?"

"No...I...I'm crying...because I...

"You miss me?"

"Aiishh...Not that"

"You naughty child. You need new clothes?"

"Nope"

"Then a guy got with you and quickly broke your little heart?"

"Ugh! Mum,, Stop. I'm just crying cause I miss Korean meals" May sniffed hard, and wiped her tears.

"Huh?"

"I don't like Italy meals...It's-

May paused and dropped her face hard on the table. She was snoring now. She was sleeping deeply.

"May? May? Here we go again. Is it night over here too?. Well, good night? I'm gonna call you tomorrow. I guess the trip made you tired. Love ya" Sandra smiled and cut the call.

The Next Day, 7am,, Ryder's Home***

Ryder's father, Mr Hart gave Ryder a loud and hard slap across his cheek,, sending his face to the other side.

"Dad!" Percy shouted, stood up from the sofa and ran to Ryder.

"Are you alright?" She asked, trying to inspect his face.

Ryder looked away.

"Mum? Won't you do anything?" Percy shook her head, disappointed.

"What do you mean? Your brother scammed one of your dad most loyal contractors. Ryder doesn't deserve justice. He should be seriously dealt with" Mrs Hart said.

"If you don't want him scamming people around, why not unblock his card. He has been having it tough lately" Percy said.

"Every time he is always spending his money on designers and everything worthless. I'm tired! That's why I locked his account and I won't be reopening it anytime soon! Just take a look at what he wasted millions for! A worthless power bike!" Mr Hart scowled.

Percy sighed and looked at Ryder who was staring hard at the floor.

"Ryder? If you want your card unblocked,, Kindly sell that motorcycle" His mother convinced.

"I'm tired of you guys unnecessary scolding, drama and disturbance. Take the card, I don't need it... I can keep my bike now, right?" Ryder said, and dropped the ATM card on the glassed transparent table which was in the middle of the huge sitting room, close to his father.

Mr Hart laughed.

"So, how are you gonna live now, huh? You are gonna keep on scamming and stealing? I can't wait to see you beg and rot in jail"

Ryder sniffed.

"Forget about it,, I'm going out to work. I'm gonna make money and open a new bank account. Have a good day ahead!" He said and stormed out of the house.

Mrs Hart sighed heavily. She wondered what kind of son she bore. Percy was much more different, in a better way.

"You guys aren't going to do something? Darn it!" Percy shouted and took out some cash from her purse.

She quickly ran outside.

"Ryder! Wait!" She screamed.

Ryder didn't reply. He quickly put on his dark heavy helmet, sat on the motorcycle seat, started the ignite and zoomed off in speed.

"Geez...Ryder. I wanted to give you money for gas. When last did you get your bike gas tank filled?" Percy murmured, watching him leave sight
