CHAPTER 35 (2/2)
"Me, and her? Kissing? That night?" I asked, as if I haven't heard what they said. They both nodded and I still can't believe it.
"You know it too?" I turned to Janine and she's playing with her fingers.
"Ye~yeah, she told me about it when we went back, but, you haven't gone too far, I mean, it's just plain kissing and.. err, some touching, of course." she said and my mouth is a bit agape. We almost made love that night? Holy cow.
"I~I was the one who opened the door, I saw it. I don't know what has gotten into me, I just freaked out and realized that I am still in love with her. I am supposed to be in that position. I should not give up on her and give her to you. That's why I come up with a plan." my eyes widened. I know what he's about to say even though he haven't said anything yet.
I stood up from my seat and grabbed him by the collar and give him a punch on the face, he fell on the ground and I gave him another one.
"SEUNGRI!!" I heard Janine shouting for my name but I didn't stop. I lifted him up and tears are on our eyes.
"How dare you? Fuck you Naotoshi! I'm so gonna kill you for doing this to us!!" I threw him in the couch and about to throw another punch but Janine grabbed my arm to stop me.
"Seungri! Please, stop it. Stop! Please!" she cried loudly and my senses went back to normal. I sat on the floor and Janine sat beside Naotoshi who is crying and the side of his lips bleeding.
"I am sorry, I didn't mean to~"
"Why? Why did you do this? What has gotten into you?!" Janine said while sobbing.
"I'm not myself that night, I went back to Singapore and the next morning, I've talked to them, but the original plan is that they are going to get Seungri, not Erika, that's why I invited her for lunch that day, so it will just be Seungri who will be in the house that afternoon. I also thought that you already flew back to the Philippines that's why I knew that the plan will work. They have eventually changed the plan without me knowing and right now they took her. It's all my fault. I will pay for this and I will help in getting her back to you Seungri."
"Yeah, it's your fucking fault! You should've think of what will happen! You should not trust those people, I never thought that you are that stupid!" I stood up and about to give him another punch when Janine stop me.
"Please Seungri, don't fight anymore. I know Naotoshi is a part of this but he didn't mean to, he's not himself that time and he's just blinded by his emotions. What we needed to is to plan on how we can save Erika from them, without you needing to marry the girl." Janine explained and I groaned and sat back on the chair.
"I have a suggestion. I will contact them and make them believe that I'm still at their side. Then that's the time that I will set her free." Naotoshi said and my eyebrows creased.
"No, I still don't trust you after what you did, you stay out of this. I will think of a much better plan." I shouted at him.
"But, that's a good idea isn't it?" Janine said.
"What if he's just doing this for us to believe him but the original plan is still for me to be captured by them? I won't take any suggestions from you." I said and I stood up and went to my room to think.
~~~~~
I am about to follow Seungri upstairs but Naotoshi stopped me.
"I understand if that's what he feels. He won't trust me anymore after what I did. But I really want to help Janine, in any way that I can."
"I know, I know that you want to help, but, we cannot force him if he really don't like you to help for now, right?" I said and he just nodded.
"Wait, I'll get something to treat your lips." I stood up and grab some ice and a towel from the kitchen and gently wipe his sore lips.
"Aww," he flinched.
"Take it! This is your punishment! Aish." I joked and he smiled and I did it again. This time he didn't flinch and I continued treating the wound.
"Good boy." I said. "Just held the towel and the ice there for a few minutes, to lessen the sore. I'll get my medicine kit upstairs." I am about to stand up when Naotoshi held my hand to stop me.
"Thanks Janine, in spite of what I did, you still treat me as a friend." he said softly. I don't know what's happening but suddenly my cheeks felt like they're about to fire up.
"Tha~that's fine. I'll just get the medici~" I haven't got to finish what I'm about to say when he stood up, pulled me in and he kissed me on the lips. I can't even move an inch. It seems like my body has gone frozen. What the? Why is he kissing me? I snap back to reality and I gently push him away from me. I think I look like a tomato now. Shit.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, it's just that I was, overwhelmed." he looked down and I did the same. I cannot say anything. My train of thoughts was interrupted when Seungri went down and called me.
"Janine?"
"Ye~yeah?" I responded shakily as I looked at him.
"I have a plan, and I'm afraid I need Naotoshi to complete this."

[EARLIER, AT SEUNGRI'S ROOM]
Seungri plopped himself on the bed and closed his eyes. He is thinking of the best thing that he can do to save Erika and at the same time, save himself from being married to Chloe.
He told Ethan that he will be there this night, but he thought he is not ready for it yet. He grabbed his phone and contacted Ethan.
"It's me, can I go there tomorrow instead? I just need to~"
"It's up to you son, just remember that the girl is with us, and she will stay this way until you come and get her out of here. Take note, you need to go here ALONE. The girl will be in trouble if you'll break your promise." he said. I sighed.
"I know, I haven't forgotten any of it, tomorrow afternoon, I'll just, get myself ready, and please don't hurt her. Is she okay?"
"She's fine, we are taking care of her. Nothing will happen to her, just make sure that you will meet us tomorrow." he continued,
"Yes, I'll be there." he dropped the phone and closed his eyes and groaned through gritted teeth.
"I think I needed to do this, I don't have any choice." he told himself and pick up the phone again. He searched for a number and he dialled it.
"Hello, hyung??"

HOPE YOU ENJOY.
