Chapter 5:

“AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!”

Chou burst into the room holding a tennis racket in her hand, “What happen? Are you okay Riyo?!?” Chou asked as Riyo turn on the lamp next to her sitting up straight.

“Yeah I’m fine just got a nightmare”

“Phew…for a second there I though somebody broke in” Chou said lowering the racket.

“Wow you’re going to protect me with a tennis racket? I am very flatter” Riyo said sarcastically.

“What? A tennis racket can do a lot of more damage then you can image” Chou said waving her racket around until she smack Kaiyo in the head.

“Yah! Watch where you swing that thing!” Kaiyo fuss rubbing her head as Chou lower the racket and smile.

“Sorry :D”

“Why are you in here Kaiyo?”

“I heard screaming so I came in here what else would I be doing up?” Kaiyo asked looking at them both weirdly.

“And you brought nothing to protect yourself??? What happen if it was a robber or some illegal immigrant breaking in?!?!”

“Well if somebody broke in, the alarm system will go off duh and I would hear some loud crashes”

“Oh yeah…totally forgot we got an alarm system. Welp off to bed, I need to look extra awesome tomorrow. My first day at work!” Chou said running off as Kaiyo look at Riyo,

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah I’m fine, I’m just going downstairs to get a cup of milk, probably that will help me a bit” Riyo said putting on her slippers and grab her nightrobe.

“Alright, get some sleep. I’m heading back to bed, going to be a busy day tomorrow” Kaiyo said as Riyo walk downstairs.

She places the cup of milk into the microwave and watches it spin around while she daze off staring at it.

Sudden a flash appear in her mind and red was everywhere and loud gunshots was heard. The microwave beeps loudly as she woke up from those flashing images in her head.

“These images keep on getting worst each day and too real…” Riyo mumble taking the cup of milk out of the microwave.

The next morning, Kaiyo was in the kitchen making breakfast as Chou ran downstairs,

“What do you think of this outfit?” Chou asked spinning around.

“This is the 20th outfit you tried out. For crying out loud please chose one” Riyo plead as Chou just smile.

“Come on Riyo, help me choose! This is my first day at work I want to look nice!” Chou said as Riyo bang her head on the table.

“Fine, I got with the 5th outfit, makes you look more mature and a business woman” Riyo finally replied and when she look up Chou was gone.

Kaiyo place a plate of eggs, bacon and bread in front of Riyo, “Eat up, you have a full day of planning to do”

“Arg…don’t remind me” Riyo said smacking her head onto the table again. Chou finally chose and outfit and rush downstairs, “Tah dah! I look like a business woman”

“Finally! Now sit and eat, and today for lunch just drop by my place to eat” Kaiyo said eating her bread as Chou begin to eat,

“Uh…neechan, how come there is an extra plate?” Chou asked noticing another extra plate on the table.

“For somebody very special…” Kaiyo replied when she noticed a car pulled into the driveway. “And that person has finally arrived!”

She got up and opens the door,

“Good morning Kaiyo! The smell of bacon and eggs in the morning is making me hungry! ” Ryo exclaimed as Chou drop her bread.

“NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!” Chou screamed

“May I should record this moment and put it in slow motion” Riyo said laughing as she ate a piece of bacon.

“NOT YOU AGAIN!!! MY PERFECT MORNING RUIIINNNNNN!!!!”

“Well good morning to you too” Ryo said sitting down at the table.

“You’re out to get me right?! Right?!?!? What have I ever done to you? Why must you torture me like this…” Chou said as she slams her head onto the table pretending to cry.

“Oh cut the dramatic scene, he’s going to drive you today. I have to get to the café shop to do some inventory so I trust him to drop you off at work” Kaiyo said.

“Why can’t Riyo take me?”

“Because she’s going to help me, beside Ryo’s office is near that area. He can take you to work, take you to lunch and pick you up!” Kaiyo said as Chou looks as if she wanted to faint while Ryo was trying not to laugh.

“Awww don’t they make a cute couple?!?” Riyo said with a big smile as Ryo and Chou made a disgusting face.

“I rather become a monk instead of dating her” Ryo said as Chou threw bread at him.

“Okay, you two stop it. Today for lunch just drop by my place, I will make your favorite food as a celebration” Kaiyo said as both Ryo and Chou hug Kaiyo.

“Alrighty finish up eating and off to work!” Riyo said excitedly.

+++++++++++++++++

Ryo stop the car in front of a tall building where people walk in and out. “Well good luck”

“For some reason I feel uneasy now can you take me home?” Chou asked not wanting to leave the car.

“Well you wanted this job in the first place”

“Well a hot guy offer a job what did you expect for me to say?” Chou asked as Ryo shrug.

“Come on, just give him a call and he will come out and meet up with you and everything will go smoothly.”

“But…”

“I say get out now because I’m going to be late for an important meeting” Ryo said opening the passenger door and unbuckle Chou’s seat and pushing her out the door.

“Hey that’s rude!”

“Well I don’t care. I see you during lunch time bye!” Ryo said closing the door and speed off.

“Gah…what should I do now?” Chou mumbles to herself as she flip her phone open and dial his number. After 2 rings a voice came up,

“Hello?”

“Hey it’s me, Chou, I’m in front of your company building” Chou said nervously.

“I noticed.”

“huh?”

“I’m behind you by the way you look nice” Yesung said approaching her closing his cellphone.

She turn around as he approach her, “Thanks it has been a while I wore anything like this so I’m not use to it”

“Ah don’t worry you will. Shall we go in?” Yesung asked walking in the building before her.

Time passes by slowly and soon it was 1’o clock. Kaiyo finished cooking lunch as Riyo sat at the table looking out the window again. Soon Ryo and Chou walk into the café shop arguing once again,

“Sheesh you had nonstop talk about Yesung and your table in front of his office for the pass10 minutes” Ryo fussed as Chou ignore him.

“It’s my first office job you should be happy that I shared some information with you” Chou said walking off as Ryo made faces behind her.

“It seems like office job is perfect for you instead of modeling” Riyo said taking a sip of her ice mocha.

“Well for other jobs I don’t know but this one is totally perfect! Just that I need to improve on my coffee making…”

“Kaiyo opens a coffee house and you did not learn anything from her?” Ryo asked trying not to snicker.

“It doesn’t mean I inherit anything from it” Chou said rolling her eyes as Kaiyo came placing food in front of them. “Wahhh this is going to be an awesome lunch though Yesung did offer to take me to lunch today until that bitch called =.=”

“hahaha you barely met him 2 times and now your fighting against his fiancée whom he knew since 5 years ago” Ryo said digging into his pasta. “Wahhh neechan your pasta is awesome!!”

“You’re a pig you know that…” Chou said as Riyo stuff bread into her mouth before she said anything further.

“And you say I’m a pig” Ryo said eating a bread. “So have you contact that man yet?”

“Nope, I’m gonna call him tomorrow. Make him wait another, he’s probably at the edge of his seat now” Riyo said snickering she ate her food.

“Anybody wants to hear about my day at work today?!?” Chou said excitedly.

“No! Nobody here wants to hear about it. You work only 5 hours so far and you have been blabbing nonstop!” Ryo fussed as Chou threw bread at him.

“You know Ryo that isn’t a good way to talk to a girl” the guy behind him said as the others turn around.

“Tackey-kun!!” Chou and Riyo said as they ran up to give him a hug.

“You’re always on their side” Ryo said as he moved over a seat so Hideaki could sit down.

“So why are you here?” Chou asked him.

“It’s it pretty obvious?” Riyo said giving Chou a look as she nod her head slowly.

“Haha never mind ignore that question”

“You’re that slow and you still got that job, lets see how long you last” Ryo said as Chou kicked him underneath the table.

“You little…”

“Little what? You know Tackey is right next to you” Chou said as Ryo rub his leg.

“I will let you go this time because Tackey can beat me up but the next time when he’s not around, you’re mine” Ryo said through his teeth as Chou had a victory face on.

“Here you go” Kaiyo said placing a cup of coffee in front of Hideaki.

“Smells good already” Hideaki said taking a sip as Riyo and Chou laugh quietly as Kaiyo look at them strangely.

Soon Jin and his team members walk into the café,

“Yo Kaiyo, that dude is after you again” Riyo said pointing toward the other direction as Kaiyo slump down on her seat.

“Pretend I don’t even exist” Kaiyo mumble as the others look at her.

“Let me fill you in, that short dude who just sat down is trying to ask our Kaiyo out but she turn him down so many times every time he flirts with her but he still is going after her” Riyo said.

“I have to applaud him for still going after you after you rejected him” Ryo said laughing as Kaiyo smack him on the arm.

“Hey why is that other dude staring at you Riyo?” Chou asked as she noticed Jin looking toward Riyo direction.

“A friend” Riyo replied as she wave at Jin who wave back at her.

“Let me go serve them, be back” Kaiyo mumble as she got up from her seat as Hideaki watches her leave.

“How long have this been going on?” Hideaki asked

“Uh… 2 years now I guess” Riyo replied.

“Whoa that guy sure has a strong will” Ryo said as Chou nodded her head.

“Yeah but Kaiyo hate his guts to death. If there was somebody here pretending to be her boyfriend, now that’s a different story” Riyo said as she look at Hideaki who just stare into his cup of coffee. All of sudden he got up and left the shop,

“What did you hint to him?” Chou asked as Riyo just put on a smile.

“Hi, welcome to the shop what do you want to order?” Kaiyo said in a dull tone.

When they were done, Kaiyo left with their order.

“No wonder you like to drink coffee from here” Lillian teased as Keiichiro blushed.

“The owner herself is hot” Hayami said as Keiichiro gave him a death glare.

“Hot is not the word for you to call her except our Keiichiro here” Aya said with a smile hugging him.

“Hey Tackey is back” Chou said looking toward the front door.

“And this time with flowers” Ryo said with a huge grin on his face.

They all focus toward Hideaki direction hoping to see a drama. Kaiyo came out with their orders and when she turns around and flowers was in front of her. She noticed who was behind it.

“I’m back” Hideaki said with a smile as Kaiyo look at him and finally understood what was going on.

“Yeah two years late” Kaiyo said pretending to walk away.

“I know I should have come back earlier but business was just coming at me and I had no choice.”

“You always say that.”

“I do, but this time I’m staying here for real. I’m done with all the business outside and now I’m back here. I promise you I won’t leave you” Hideaki said with a smile as Kaiyo hug him tightly.

“Omg look at that dude’s face! I think he’s about to cry!!” Ryo said as Riyo and Chou begin to feel sorry for him.

“Kaiyo this is?” Keiichiro said with a brave face on.

“He’s my boyfriend…”

“Actually fiancée, we were about to get marry before I left for my business but we had to postpone it. Since the company asked me to come back, our marriage is probably back on right?” Hideaki asked with a smile.

“Maybe, you left for two years, I probably reconsider it” Kaiyo said as Hideaki hug her from behind.

“I’m not feeling to well, I’m gonna head back to work now” Keiichiro said taking the cup of coffee and walk out the door.

“We should go after him, nice meeting you” Aya and Lillian said as they ran after Keiichiro.

Jin got up and walks over to Riyo’s table,

“Hey.”

“Hi, nice to see you here, did something happen?” Riyo asked looking at him.

“Oh, just a subordinate got his heart broken after finding out your friend here is engage” Jin said as Riyo smile.

“So sorry about that, she intends to hide her relationship well. Now that her fiancée is back, then well you get the picture.” Riyo said as Jin nod his head.

“Well I should head back; I was wondering do you have some free time anytime soon?”

“Why?”

“I want a tourist guide. It has been a while I came back here so you know I need somebody to show me around” Jin replied.

“Sure, I give you a call when I check my schedule” Riyo said.

“Thanks, I’m going now nice to see you again” Jin said leaving the shop.

“I noticed he did not even know me and Ryo was here. It was like we were invisible” Chou said.

“Well he only has an eye for Riyo obviously we are not his type” Ryo said.

“He doesn’t like me. We only met once and well he’s new to this country. I should help out”

“You help pshhhh” Chou and Ryo said together as Riyo ignore them.

“You basically want to go after him like me going after Yesung” Chou said.

“No, he’s not my type”

“Yeah sure…” Ryo commented.

“Whatever I’m not going to argue with you two anymore, just finish eating and go back to work” Riyo said leaving the table.

“Did we just piss her off?” Ryo asked

“Maybe but I know her, she’s after him” Chou said as Ryo just shrug.

“Thanks Tackey” Kaiyo said.

“No problem, since you treated me a cup of coffee that’s what I can do to repay you”

“Looks like I owe you again”

“Haha maybe, I write it down. Here keep the flowers” Hideaki said handing her the flowers.

“How did you know I like white lilies?”

“We have been partners for a while of course I know” Hideaki replied.

“Thanks again” Kaiyo said walking to her office.

“Welp, I’m done. Are you done?” Ryo asked.

“I don’t eat like you. I take my time”

“Okay then, find a new ride then” Ryo said getting up and fix his suit.

“What?! That is so unfair!” Chou said stuffing whatever was on her plate.

“Hey, who asked you to eat slow like a turtle? Thanks neechan for the meal!!” Ryo yelled as he ran out the door.

“Thanks nee…” Chou yelled with her stuff mouth running out the door after Ryo.

“What was that?” Kaiyo asked appearing out the door.

“She stuff food into her mouth and ran off. Ryo threaten her if she doesn’t finish fast, he will leave her behind” Hideaki said.

“That trick always work” Kaiyo said.

“Should we discuss about that now?” Hideaki asked.

“Sure, come into the office and let me settle some stuff” Kaiyo said as she walks out as Hideaki walk into the office.

Back at the office, Chou sat at her desk typing when Yesung and his fiancée appeared.

“Come on oniichan, why can’t you get me that diamond necklace??” Sunny whined.

“It’s because you have a lot already. I don’t see what the use of buying that much necklace?”

“I can’t re wear those necklaces again! You know I have a reputation here?”

“Then learn not to be a brat” Yesung said as he walk into his office, “Hey Chou can you get me the files from level four and a cup of coffee” Yesung asked.

“Yes Mr. Kim” Chou said with a smile as he walks into his office.

“So who are you know?” Sunny asked rudely.

“I’m his new secretary and who are you?” Chou asked giving her this nasty look.

“I’m his fiancée”

“She’s soooo stupid,” Chou said in her head, “Whatever, I need to get some files for Mr. Kim can you move out the way are you too slow for that?” Chou asked.

“Whatever, I have an appointment to do my face tell Yesung I will call him later” Sunny said as she walked off

“I can always fix your face for free” Chou said with a huge smile as she walk off.

When she return with the files and a cup of coffee she knocks and waited for him to answer.

“Come in”

She walks into his office and place everything on the table,

“Thank you so much Chou, are we still celebrating tonight?”

“Sure where are we eating at?” Chou asked.
“I already reserve a place at French Rose”

“Wait that’s a 5 star restaurant and it’s gonna be expensive” Chou gasped.

“I own 10% of the place so I think the payment will be different” Yesung said with a smile.

“As you say so” Chou said.

“Great, when we are done with work we will go together”

“Okay, I will go outside and finish up my work then” Chou said excusing herself. When she sat down at her table she keeps on having a huge grin on her face, “I gotta text Riyo about this!”

She sat and begins texting, “My life is now heading toward a new light”

----------------------------------

Back at the police station…

“God! Why is this computer giving me all this stupid trouble!” Keiichiro yelled at the computer.

“Why is he so moody ever since you got back?” Miro asked

“Its pretty obvious that it’s a girl problem” Erika said looking at Keiichiro who’s now typing hard on his keyboard.

“Yeah, after coming back from the coffee place he has been like that…what happen?” Miro asked.

“Well you see…he likes the coffee shop owner who by the way is really pretty. He liked her two years and was about to ask her out again when…” Lillian said to take a gasp of air.

“And when what?” Miro and Erika asked the same time,

“Oh I know! She told him she’s a lesbian!” Miro said happily.

“Uh no” Lillian said rolling her eyes at him,

“Fine…she’s married!”

“Not that worst but close…her fiancée came back and surprise at her at the shop. He was sent on business by the company for two years and now he’s back so our Keiichiro is heartbroken” Lillian said.

“No wonder our guy is heartbroken.” Miro said.

“Well we try to warn him so this could be a lesson for him” Erika said going back to work.

Jin walks out of his office and clear his throat,

“Drop any plans you have for tonight.”

“Why?” all of them asked.

“We are requested to join a police raid at a few clubs that are suspect of having illegal drugs”

“Same old crap again” Hayami said.

“How many clubs to be exact?” Erika asked.

“The supervisor said about 5 at least” Jin replied, “So let’s go down to the meeting room where they will give out more information”

The whole team then tagged behind him into the big meeting room a few floors down.

---------------------------

As the police raid in different clubs, they were finally down to the last one. They busted into the club and made them turn on the lights. They search through ids and behind the counter and rooms for drugs and found a few things.

“Lillian, why don’t you go check out in the back and bring some men” Jin said as he was talking to the owner.

Lillian and two policemen walk toward the back when they heard some noises. They withdraw their guns and slowly approach the corner, there she saw a guy getting beaten up by 3 men.

“So are you going to tell us where is he?!?” one of them yelled pinning the beaten up guy to the wall.

“I told you I don’t know where he is! He just come and go in the apartment I don’t always keep track of him!” he yelled back as they continue to beat him up.

Right then she saw a shiny object in one of the three men hand and was about to head toward the beaten up guy chest when she appeared out from the corner,

“Police! Put that man down now and step away!” Lillian yelled pointing the gun at them.

The three men threw the beaten man aside as they slowly approach her,

“I command you to stop right there or else I will shoot!” Lillian said as they slowly back down after seeing two cops behind her.

“You’re lucky this time bastard, a lady copy just save your ass. Next time it won’t be that easy, so tell your friend he better appear with the money or else you know what happen after that” one of them said throwing the cigarette at the guy on the floor and ran off with the other two.

Lillian place back the gun where it belong and ran over to the guy,

“Are you okay?” she asked him.

“I swear women are not only nosy but they are a pain in the ass” the guy said.

“I just save your ass you know”

“Well I don’t need a police woman to save me” the guy said.

“Fine, boys take this gentlemen here to the van, we have some questioning to do” Lillian said as the cops held onto both of his arms and pulled him away.
--------------------------

Chou and Yesung enters into a restaurant where they were seated immediately,

“So what do you think?” Yesung asked.

“Really classy like in the magazine said” Chou said as Yesung order his food, while Chou looks at the menu and order.

“So why are we sitting at a 4 person table?”

“We were overbooked as you can see mostly couples come here so we have to use this table for now” Yesung said as he tasted his wine.

“I see...” Chou said.

“So tell me about yourself” Yesung said as he begin playing with his napkin,

“I’m an orphan, by the age of 18 left the place and is now I’m living with two of my friends. One owns a coffee shop while the other one helps out” Chou replied.
“Oh sorry about your past, didn’t mean to bring it up all sudden” Yesung said sadly.

“Nah its okay, my childhood was not that sad, so tell me more about you” Chou said.

“Well you already know who I …own a business is pretty tough but my dad brought me into the business so yeah…” and before he could finish a voice appeared from behind him.

“Kim Yesung!”

“You got to be kidding me?!?” Chou said to herself staring at the person behind Yesung.
