***Back to South Korea***
"Next time, I want you to review the files about business proposals and send me a summary. Wag ka nang tatanggap ng galing sa corporation na yun. I will pull out all of my investments and shares dun kaya they are no one to us now. Do you understand?", bilin ko kay Bethie habang pumipirma ng mga kontrata.
"Yes, ma'am."
🎶HIT SOUND~ HIT HIT HIT SOUND~🎶
I looked at my phone to see who's calling me.
I sighed when I saw a familiar ID and motioned for Bethie to leave the room.
"Mr. Choi, it's 12 midnight. Whatever you want to say right now, let's talk about it tomorrow---"
"I love you."
"Wait, are you drunk?"
"I love you, akin. Mahal na mahal kita."
My heart ached when I heard him sob on the other line. Walang ingay sa background so I figured out na baka he's alone.
"Mahal na mahal kita, akin~ I love you so much... P-please *sniffs* come back to me..."
My throat suddenly felt dry. I felt my eyes stung dahil sa mga luhang nagbabadyang pumatak anumang oras.
God, Seungcheol! Bakit ganito pa rin ang epekto mo sa'kin?!
T*ng ina mo...
"Nagpaalam ka ba sa manager mo? Alam ba to ng members mo? Nasaan ka? I will send my---"
"Please come back to me... Promise, di na kita iiwan..."
"Nasaan ka?! Sagutin mo muna ko! Wag kang mag-cause ng issue, Choi Seungcheol! Madadamay ang iba!"
There was a pause. I waited for his response pero binaba niya yung tawag.
P*tang ina naman, Seungcheol. Hindi ka nakakatuwa.
Dali-dali akong tumayo at lumbas ng office ko.
"Bethie?!", I called. Mukhang npansin niya yung urgency sa boses ko at nagmamadali siyang lumapit sa akin.
"May number ka ni Jeonghan or khit sino sa SEVENTEEN?"
"I have everyone's number, including their managers. Bakit po, ma'am? Is there any problem?"
"Call Jeonghan. Ask him kung nasaan si Seungcheol. Then, call the Hiphop Team's manager. Tell him to prepare a vehicle and wait for my instructions. I-forward mo lahat ng number nila at ang address ng dorm nila sa phone ko.", I instructed habang naglalakad kami papunta sa elevator.
"Shall I call your driver, ma'am?"
"No. I'll take the Lamborghini and drive it myself.", I said before I left her to ride the elevator.
I swear that you'll be the death of me, Choi Seungcheol.
Para kang siraulo!!
