The deep vibrations of R&B filled the open space as neon light spilled across every corner of the room. crowd danced and crazed long into the night.
Two girls sat at the counter and were chatting lively, they spotted on the far left corner. Five handsome men sitting on the large rounded fancy couch.
"Girl!...Did you see them." said in an excited hushed tone." "Dang—who freakn wouldn't...?." while the brown haired girl said, impressed.
"especially the guy with creamy white hair....mnngghh~~." the girl secretly oggled her eyes on the guy, "oh...girl... I understand~." Her friend agreed but then became jokingly worried of her friend.
"but you need to calm down, you drank to mu-."
The girl adjusted her sitting position.
Then the brown haired girl noticed the guy that her friend was talking about, was now looking at them.
shit...did he notice? She thought in a little panic, then the girl forcefully turned his friend's face away from the guy "hey!...." Not giving a damn of her friend's complaints.
after a while, she slightly turned her head around, ever so slightly that he could take a little peek of the handsome guy, to see if he was still looking.
Then she saw that the guy was still looking at them, no, they were looking at her.
"...." the girl unintentionally locked eyes with the man, and was unable to look away, like the guy casted a spell on her.
The man had; obviously, creamy white hair with a slight curl in the end. His eyes was slightly slanted up giving a fierce look but had a tint of softness within, and colored with brown with a tint of gold, his eyes reflecting the neon lights.
He gave off a mischievous youth aura.
Then the man slightly and slowly curved his visible plum red lips upward and gave her a knowing look.
She felt her heart stopped, sending shivers behind her spine.
"Kya!~~". She punched her friend's shoulder. "Hey!...ouw...ouch!...hey stop!?" Her friend startled, though if her friend was the one who's drunk.
--------------------------
The scene switched to the cream white haired guy. Who snickered at the squirming girl far ahead.
"Ash...you really need to stop doing that to girls, they might get the wrong idea." The man beside Ash, scolded.
The man had a charming and calm aura. He was wearing a two piece, with his jacket was off, but his shirt was still neat, no button was undone. His hair is was down but was neat, giving him a gentle image.
"wha~t—it's fun, I really like it when they squeal for me, an~d, I'm not giving them the wrong Idea~" he nudged his own shoulder up, spoke mischievously with a teasing tone.
He slumped his body on the fancy couch, making himself comfortable while drinking wine.
The couch is made out of high quality velvet, Ink black color, with the style looking like a settee design, like from the old times.
The couch was wide and its shape; circle, surrounding a black marble low-table, that was filled with various kinds of liquor and candies.
In the middle of the marbled table, there was a iron styled number "999".
Ash looked away and noticed a person who was sitting on the same velvet couch as him had a bad crumpled look on his face, ommitting bad black aura around him.
Ashton wasn't intimidated but laughed instead, as he nudged at the man that scolded him earlier, and pointed at the grumpy guy.
sigh.
the grumpy guy with curly red hair sighed deeply, and aggressively tapped on his phone, that the feeling of the tapping was Transmitted.
"Clyde..?." the man called out with concern. "did something happen?.
Someone with rough and sweet voice suddenly spoke.
"Probably ate shit..." The guy besides Clyde snickered. *Bombastic side eye* Clyde looked at the dude beside him, displeased. "well... I'm looking at one right now.." Clyde retorted.
"Pfftt..." Ashton snorted.
The guy raised a brow, clearly displeased as well. "what was that?" he said like he heard it wrong.
but Clyde turned to look away. tsk "Dumbass.." he said under his breath, but was loud enough for other guy to hear.
"you-!". As he was about to spit a sentence back, he was interrupted.
"guys...stop it, don't start another fight please..." the man lazily pleaded, like the situation frequently happen.
"Don't blame me...Matthew started it." Clyde said in an annoyed tone while playing block bust on his Iphone.
Matthew click his tounge in resignation.
Ashton laugh at the situation then spoke. "hehehe....Poor matty—can't last a day without opening his venomous mouth~". He teased.
"Shut up Ashton." Matthew taunted, but Ashton still giggled with glee. "ohh~~ I'm scared." Ashton put on a fake pitiful look while covering his mouth with right hand like a maiden, provoking Matthew.
The man beside Ash warned "Ashton!..", Ashton questioned, then the man frown and gave him the look.
"okay.. okay.." he raised his hands, then added. "its just funny provoking this Mutt~" triggering Matthew again.
"the fuck did you just call me!?" the man gave up and sighed deeply. like a mother, gave up on getting her kids to reconcile with each other.As Matthew was about to stand up.
A person in the right at the far end of the couch, that was in front of Ashton and the latter. we will call him man 2; for now, spoke in a deep and strong voice, as he called Matthew and Ashton's name as a warning.
"Matthew...Ashton." said in a low and cold tone.
The man exuded a cold and and serious aura, sat improperly and lazily but still came off captivating, His collar was open, the top two buttons left loose. drinking whiskey.
Matthew flinched at the words of the man and widrew.
clicking his tounge softly, while Ashton shutting his mouth,laughing.bringing silence in their area.
The brown haired man looked at the other and silently thanked the latter.
After the silence.
"anyways, Clyde.." the man called out. Hmm Clyde hummed.
"what happened to you? How come your not in the mood?"
Clyde, who was busy tapping on his phone with a deep frown on his handsome and sweet baby like face, heared the other ask, making him frown even more, then sighed.
"Don't ask—just remembering it annoys me" with a clear annoyance in his voice.
"A guy in my class really got on my nerves.
After some silence
…
"whoa Clyde, what did you do~" Ashton said kiddingly.
Clyde looked at Ashton with an WTF; expression, then raised his brow.
"i did nothing wrong..." said with confidence, then continued. "He was new, soo–as an old student, I just did the obvious thing, and said hello!". The man who was listening, furrowed his brows then asked. "....Have you considered asking him?".
"ask him?" Clyde exasperated, "everytime I talk to him he just straight on ignores me" Clyde sighed deeply. "i don't know what's his problem with me, but it's fucking pissing me off".
Clyde gave up the feeling and continued playing on his phone.
Sigh~
The man let out another sigh.
After some silence.
Two women came by their circle.
"hey guys~~" a woman with short blond curly hair, greeted.
She had green wide eyes, that sparkled, on par with the silver earrings that dangled on her ears. she wore a red dress with an off back, revealing a luscious tan skin, along with a pair of red heels, pairing with bold make-up, that was unusual, despite her innocent face, but gave her a seductive look that attracted multiple men.
Another woman beside the other, also greeted with a bright smile.
"what's up..~" with an soft and melancholic voice. everyone on the scene looked at her.
She was more beautiful than the other. Her long luminous white hair went below her bottom. She exuded a soft temperament. her eyes shaped like an almond, but became crescent as a moon as she smiled.
attracting more attention to her figure. She wore a long black dress that Contoured her shape. The dress only covered her body, all the way down, covering her heels, revealed her glowing rosy shoulder blade, piring with a pair of pink heels. And soft make-up that went along with the color of her heels.
She tucked her long white hair under her ear, "How have you all been?".
"Big sister Vanessa..." The white haired called Vanessa waved at Clyde who had a wide sparkling eyes. Then looked the other way. she went behind the couch where Man 2 was sitting.
Vanessa wrapped her arms around Man 2. "Well.. Aamon ...how have you been?~~" Aamon was drinking his liquor when he felt a pair of soft arms slightly wrapping his neck.
…
Not getting an answer.
"You still smell the same" Vanessa snuffed Aamon's neck, smelling the expensive perfume mixed with a very aromatic cigarette with a tint of husk. but despite Vanessa's charms, Aamon remained unmoved. "...." But Vanessa wasn't disappointed, like she expected this outcome.
"still the same~.
then look at the other side where the brown haired man sat. She had a glint in her eyes, then she smirked.
Vanessa retracted her arms and went to the other side where the brown haired man sat.
The cold man frowned as he look at Vanessa who was walking away to go to the other man.
Vanessa finally sat beside the man that has a gentlemanly demeanor. She got a cup of wine, then lifted her right leg on top of her left leg and sipped on the cup, leaving a pink smudge on her glass.
Then in the other scenario.
The blond haired woman sat beside Matthew.
"Hey Mat—how are you?~" as she creased Matthew's left thigh with her dainty fingers.
Matthew intently look at her with a mischievous smirk. He grab the girl's waist, pulling her closer "fine...as always~" He said in almost a whisper, almost locking their lips.
Clyde who happens to sit next to them saw the scene cough! cough! "Eww–wagh...could you please not do it in front of me!? Especially beside me??..Have some decency..". Clyde wiped his mouth with a tissue that he took from the wide round table, wiping his mouth with a disgusted look.
Ashton, who was also watching them..or watching a certain person said.
"Yeah Matthew.. go get a room" Ashton said in a kidding tone but has a hidden snarl in his words.
…
While that was happening, Vanessa initiated a conversation with the Man beside her, who sat properly, with his shirt no wrinkles on it.
Vanessa looked at the Man beside her, who had a tired face.
"pfft... How have you been Adam?". She asked jokingly.
Adam's gaze went to Vanessa, then he smiled politely, you think? He held back saying, "I'm doing just fine, thank you..." He politely greeted back, but after answering back he went silent, with an obvious awkwardness. Vanessa became awkward of the situation.
After some torturing silence. Adam initiated a conversation. "how was korea? You left france without a word?".
"well.. I went to see my mother and brother". She answered normally.
"You have a brother?!" Adam was surprised but Clyde exclaimed even more, since he was eavesdropping on Adam and Vanessa.
Taking the attention of others in their group, Aamon who didn't pay attention to anything, turned his head, gazed at Adam first for two seconds then moved to Vanessa.
"Welp... That was unheard of..." Ashton said in a surprise.
"Did he die on cancer or something?" Matthew and Ashton snickered.
"Very funny...so you are still an asshole, huh...".
"A handsome asshole for your correction" he said slyly, raised his nose.
Clyde rolled his eyes when he heard that.
"So you're brother is in korea.." Adam asked immediately, feeling another argument will appear. Taking Vanessa's attention "no, he came with me here in France. he actually just transferred school".
"Transfered?" Clyde questioned.
"Yeah, he's in our school; well, your school actually." Vanessa smiled.
"My school?" Clyde had a puzzled expression.
"Yes...
"It's surprising that you only mentioned you're brother now, considering how long we've all been together." Adam shocked by the bomb Vanessa dropped.
"Was there a reason you hadn't brought him up until now?" Clyde asked politely.
"Yeah why didn't you mention him?" Ashton added.
"Clara did you know?" Matthew also became curious and asked Clara who was sitting close next to him.
"Yeah!...I only know what he looks like from photos Vanessa sends."
"Pictures? You have pictures?" Adam asked Clara.
"Yes!....I saved a few since he was so~ cute"
"How come you never send us pictures when we have a group chat?" Ashton asked Vanessa with a sly disappointed tone.
"It's a girls thing, Ashton." Vanessa replied smiling.
"Girls thing?....what–you send nude pics to each other too?" Ashton said what was supposed to be a joke.
"yeah". "yeah!". Vanessa and Clara answered at the same time.
Matthew's brow lifted, Ashton's mouth gaped, and Aamon's face was still the same.
Adam didn't know what expression to make, while Clyde trying his best to not look judgemental, what the fuck he thought, but shut his mouth since the topic is about Vanessa.
Clyde shook his head slightly. "anyways...sister Van, I was wondering why you hadn't mentioned him to us before?"
"Well.. it's complicated" she flashed a slightly complicated face. "Uh...sorry, you don't have to answer-" Clyde felt guilty asking. "No... actually, we were separated because of our family situation" she continued "my father and mother separated since they had their own work, my father has his business here in France and took me, while my mother in korea had her own, and was left with my brother" Seeing the confused looks on her friends' faces, Vanessa clarified "Don't take it the wrong way. My parents are happily married, not divorced. They just have an arrangement because of their jobs.'" she explained smoothly.
Except for Aamon, everyone sighed in relief, especially Clyde.
"Oh~~" Clyde sighed in relief.
"Well that's a relief~" Adam smiled.
"Haha, relax. If I didn't want to share, I wouldn't be telling you now." Vanessa lightly laughed.
"What's you brother's name?" Aamon, who surprisingly joined the conversation, asked "oh!~" the surprised Vanessa answered, "it's Han!"
"Han?" sounds familiar? Clyde thought silently.
"Hahaha, you mean, Hans from the southern isles.." Ashton chortled.
"Haha...I get that a lot." Vanessa laughed lightly
"no, just normal Han with no S".
"Where's your brother now?".
"he's at home now. Oh! Right...he's going to pick me up later" she said excitedly as she remembered.
"Then, you should introduce him to us" Adam brightly said while Vanessa agreed, lively.
