Chapter 39: Note
Ye-Jin woke up the following afternoon feeling like absolute crap. She had all the usual hangover symptoms like splitting headache, nausea, fatigue, weakness, dizziness- the whole package. She regretted her decision to drown her sorrows in alcohol the previous night.
Given her situation from the past few months, she had been sitting on pins and needles trying to balance between both Ray and Aera she desperately needed some kind of outlet. But now she felt as if she had lost more than she had gained. The pain was still there and the truth remained the same but all that changed was that she had added another problem to her list- hangover.
With difficulty, she sat up and looked around trying to familiarise herself with her surroundings. To her horror, she didn't remember what happened after she had passed out (well obviously, that's what passing out does to people). The realization somewhat cleared up her thought process and she was a little comforted by the fact that she was in fact in her own bed, in her house.
Before she could process the how's of the whole ordeal her stomach revolted and she literally had to crawl over to the bathroom to empty out the contents of her stomach. She was enlightened with the fact that she was never going to have a great relationship with alcohol in her life.
After throwing up, Ye-Jin took a hot shower- she had to! Cuz the smell of alcohol, sweat, and vomit was not such a great combination plus her sore muscles and joints could really use the bath to relax.
Later Ye-Jin walked out of her bedroom still wrapped in a towel and made a beeline or the fridge to get some water she was surprised to find a hot bowl of some soup sitting on her kitchen counter and alongside it was a note.
Filled with apprehension Ye-Jin picked up the note only to turn red- in embarrassment, happiness or shame, she didn't know- after reading it's content. It was left there by Ray and it clearly depicted how upset he was cuz of her irresponsible behavior.
'Ye-Jin,
I got you some hangover soup, finish it all and I hope you're aware of what you've done last night and how careless your behavior was.
Ray'
The note didn't have many words and it showed how upset he was with her actions. Thus, it was no longer a riddle as to how Ye-Jin got back home. But it also showed that there was clearly some confrontation coming her way soon which she could gladly do without.

Meanwhile, Ray reached the location of their shoot. The contract had gone through and the company wanted to hurry the shoot due to the time constraints on them.
He was at first greeted by Mui at the entrance to the set.
Mui: (looking relieved) bro! glad you made it!
Ray: (nodding) have you all been waiting long?
Mui: (shaking his head) no, we arrived just minutes before you. Our manager was worried sick last night when he couldn't find you.
Ray: (chuckling) I did inform you lot that I was hung up with some work.
Mui: (lowered voice) were you with some girl?
Ray: (startled) what-
Before he could complete his sentence he was cut short by their youngest member.
Vic: (sniffing) bro why do you smell like a woman?
Ray could do nothing but sigh in resignation. In the morning when he left he didn't have enough time to head back to their dorm and take a shower so he had taken the liberty to wash up at Ye-Jin's place with no other feasible choice. Thus, he did smell like fruits.
Ray: (waving them off) I'll tell you guys later. Let's wrap this thing up first.

Sanchi94 I don't want ray to be a cold guy but so far he's been turning that way!
What should I do?
Maybe it's in his genes.
Chapter 40: Taboo
After completing their shoot the guys all boarded their van as they all had another meeting at the company about their upcoming show in Shanghai.
Timo sat in the back and tiredly closed his eyes to get some sleep. Mui and Vic accompanied him whereas Kai and Ray sat in the middle and let their manager drive them to the said location.
Getting the chance at last Kai and the others didn't hold back in questioning Ray about his endeavours of last night.
Kai: where were you last night?
Mui: (suspicious) he was with a woman!
Vic: (comprehending) Oh! that's why he smelled like a woman!
Timo: (mumbling) keep it low, people are trying to sleep here!
Mui: bro! Is your sleep more interesting than Ray finally being with a woman?
Timo: (yawning) I know the details so you guys don't make a huge fuss about it.
Vic: (surprissed) how do you know?
Ray: (rolling his eyes) I told him.
Kai: (mock hurt) Ray! I thought I was your best friend, how can you do this to me?
Ray: (swatting him on the head) You aren't my lover so shut up.
Mui: so were you really with some woman last night?
Ray: yes, I stayed at Ye-Jin's place last night.
Vic: (thinking) Ye-Jin? Oh! Aera's friend?
At the mention of Aera's name the whole atmosphere turned quite solemn and vic quickly slapped his mouth shut.
Ray: (embarrassed) it's alright. Don't turn her name into some kind of taboo guys.
Kai: (relieved) Ok then tell us what happened?
Thus ray spilled the beans on his adventures of the previous night. And surprisingly enough the guys all listened to his tale attentively. They didn't even pay this amount of attention to their boss either.
Mui: So you don't know what happened to her?
Vic: he already told us that bro.
Kai: (ignoring the bickering duo) You're going to her place later?
Ray: (nodding) yes I plan to do that.
Kai: then before that I need your help with something.
Ray: (raising a brow) my help with?
Kai: (with a straight face) I need to buy a ring for my fi-mother.
Ray didn't notice Kai's little fumble with words.
Ray: sure, that way I'll get something for Ye-Jin too.
Timo: (hoarsely) you're thinking of buying her something?
Ray: (nodding) yes, she's done so much for me all these days. I have to do something for her too right?
Timo: (smirking) things are surely getting interesting around here these days.
Ray: (confused) huh?
Kai: (with an evil glint) I know what you mean big brother!
Ray didn't understand what they were speaking about so instead of asking them multiple times and falling for their prank he simply shrugged off the whole thing with an indifferent attitude.
