Runaway Rich Guys Love Endeavour - Chapter 52：Patched up

After Timo took Ye-Jin around the floor which was exclusive for their use only, they had warmed up to each other a considerable amount. It was bound to happen sooner or later since both of them shared a comparable set of hobbies.

Both of them were pacifists and usually took part in all kinds of social welfare programmes and events. Their conversation which was in the beginning only focused on the band and Ray gradually turned to the topics of their common interests.

Timo was thrilled to have someone to share his interests with- in a friendly manner, of course, he obviously didn’t have any romantic interest towards Ye-Jin. His heart was set on a woman he had accidentally met years ago. That single meeting had left quite an impact on him to this day but that is a story for another day.

After they went through each and every available room and Timo provided a brief description of things that took place in each of those rooms they both decided to return back to where the boys were.

According to Timo, the time was enough for the others to have cleaned up and straightened out each other to look presentable enough. Ye-Jin chuckled a little at his reasoning. On the way back she suddenly excused herself to visit the restroom.

Timo didn’t ask anything as he knew that it was embarrassing for women to divulge too much information on these matters. He insisted on waiting for her but Ye-Jin firmly refused his idea and asked him to go back and she would soon follow behind.

Looking at her hesitant face he didn’t press her much and complied to her wishes.

After he walked away, Ye-Jin mildly cursed her bladder to have acted up at a very inappropriate moment but she couldn’t do anything about it and hurriedly found herself a restroom.

She didn’t know that this nature’s call would prove to be a blessing in disguise.

She was minding her business in one of the stalls when she heard the restroom door being opened with a loud bang. Her heart jumped slightly at the sudden noise but she calmed soon enough but what she heard next made her blood turn cold.

She didn’t see the face of the person but judging from the voice it was a young girl. Her tone was whiny and one could clearly point out that she was spoiled and rotten. What shocked Ye-Jin more was that this person was clearly targetting her and Aera.

As far as she could tell she was not someone who had encouraged anyone to become her enemies and nor was Aera- although she was an idiot at times she didn’t offend people blindly.

Suppressing her thoughts she concentrated on the mad rambling of the person outside and the more she listened the more stunned she became. The time passed painfully slow for Ye-Jin inside the stall who did not even dare to breathe.

The torture soon came to an end and the vengeful lady walked out of the restroom after completely venting out her anger, hate and frustration. Ye-Jin first peeked through the door to make sure that the coast was clear and then walked out. She didn’t waste any time dilly-dallying and ran towards where the guys were all huddled together waiting for her.

Meanwhile, the quartet had finally tidied up as Timo had predicted and were eagerly waiting to formally meet the woman whose praises their friend had endlessly sung in front of them from weeks.

Vic: (impatiently) why is it taking them this long?

Mui: (nodding) they’ve been away for an hour already. Don’t tell me big bro is boring her with his furniture collection!

Kai: (shaking his head) he’s only giving us some time to settle down. They might be back soon.

Ray: (who was patched up) If you guys hadn’t knocked me over this wouldn’t have happened!

Vic: (slumping as if wronged) if you want to blame someone then blame Kai! He was the reason that we ran into you. We are also victims but no one ever listens to us around here!

The elder guys were amazed at their reasoning. They wanted to laugh out loud seeing their fake hurt and puppy-eyed expressions. But they didn’t, they knew these two little devils more than anyone else. Give them a finger and they’d swallow the whole hand.

Kai was about to refute their claims when the door opened and Timo walked in- alone.

Ray zeroed in on this fact alone. Before everyone else, he jumped up and enquired Timo with doubt-filled eyes.

Ray: where is she?

Timo: I saw you’re patched up good.

Ray: (ignoring) bro?

Timo: she went to the restroom. She’ll be here soon.

Ray sighed in relief. He was extremely worried about leaving Ye-Jin alone ever since her drunken adventure. Although she had assured him several times that she was better than before, he insisted on behaving like a mother hen around her.

The men had to wait for another fifteen minutes before Ye-Jin showed up. But she didn’t look good. Her complexion had turned bit pale, her forehead was dotted with little sweat and she was panting as she had run the whole way.

This was enough t provoke Ray’s mother hen instincts (is that even a thing?). He got up from where he was sitting- i.e., near to the door and within milliseconds he was beside her face clearly filled with unmasked worry.

Ray: what happened to you?
