But I don't understand one thing, why did I introduce myself to him? Was that all even necessary? And I never thought that he would introduce himself to me! His name wasn't matching him at all, Kim Hae Jun! Heh! Fine, I don't care about that anymore. I walked towards the drink server who was frustrated and said, “you're back to work and, am sorry for my fault.” I said as I ran away from him. I did notice he was happy after the news.

I just stepped out of the bar and glanced at the bar title, 'Twilight Sanctuary bar'. I marked my location  to the hotel and walked to the hotel. As I reached the hotel room and shoved my hands in my pocket to get the room card, I realized something. Oh no! he's not here yet, the card is with him and he's lost. Where on earth will I find him now! And the other thing, I forgot to ask about Jonathan near that guy, I had high chances to ask that owner, Mr. Kim! All these while I was right Infront of him!

I have to go back, I thought of going to find Kwan Ho first and then with him to the bar. I walked in the streets like a street cat finding for her kittens. I searched everywhere for him and went past a person covered over a sack and some beggers snoring in the pavement, and many more such people. But, I never got a glimpse of Kwan Ho among them, I came back to the same man covered with sack after a whole round, as I was about to go past him, I noticed something. His shoes! They were similar to Kwan Ho's!

I pulled out the sack to see Kwan Ho snoring peacefully. I slapped my forehead with my palm, sighing and shaking my head. I pushed him inside the sack so it was easy for me to pull him to the hotel. I pulled the sack to the hotel, and as the receptionist saw me she approached me saying, “may I help you ma'a— is that a human!”

“oh-,” I let go off my grip to the sack and straightened my body sighing and gasping. I continued, “yeah, he's my brother. He is drunk and he's very heavy to carry, did you think I'm kidnapping him?”

“uh-something like that.” she awkwardly giggled and helped me pull this wheat bag!

It was morning when Kwan Ho woke up. I was standing with all the utensils I found in my room, ready to break his skull. He raised his hand in defense and said crawling to a corner of the bed, “god no! please I'm sorry, I was tired of searching.”

I dropped everything and said, “it's okay if you drink, but before drinking say me, so we get home peacefully and drink! I had to roam everywhere and I nearly died because of you!” I pointed my leg. His eyes widened and he approached to me ,“what happened?”

I explained everything and how I landed to that bar of Kim Hae  Jun's and sighed. I added, “see, drinking does destructions!”

“oh, so you've found any information?”

“Aniya, tonight you're coming with me and being in my sight. I'm having a pocket knife with me so if you drink, that's the last day of you living!” I scared him so he doesn't drink again. I said it as if I was joking but not joking.

He hugged himself as if he was protecting himself like a kitten. I glanced at him and pointed at the coffee on the table. He went toward it taking mini steps like a baby and grabbed it saying, “this makes my day~” and gulped it.

After the sunset, I changed into dark clothes again. Kwan Ho asked me, “w-wait, wasn't it damaged? That dark outfit?”

“ah, ne. It is damaged so I tossed it in the bin. ”
“but that's what your wearing.”
“I got two sets, do you think I'll keep wearing the same stinky outfit repeatedly!? ”

Kwan Ho just shrugged and continued combing his hair. We were all set and ready to go to the bar. But since Kwan Ho got our cycles to pieces, we weren't able to paddle. But instead, had to take a taxi.

As we were going out, the receptionist came towards us saying, “Thank you for your stay, come back again.”
I glanced at Kwan Ho and then back at her asking, “what do you mean? You planning to send us to God !?”
“ah!? No ma'am. Your check-in was for 3 days, wasn't it?”
I glanced at Kwan Ho again and back at her saying, “But Kwan Ho said, it was for 10 days.”
“sorry ma'am, we can't give you back the room because it's already booked.”

I glared at Kwan Ho who raised his hands in defense and spoke up as the receptionist went away, “I did the booking for 10 days, but I was a bit confused why she took just a mere sum for 10 days. I expected it to be too expensive.”
“alright, come now let's get out our suitcases here.” I replied controlling my anger.
We went to the 3rd floor and then to our room, when we went there, we realized the door was open. Kwan Ho had left the card at the lock forgetting to take it. But we did close the door, it was open now.

We went inside to find a man in a black hoodie rummaging through our bags, when Kwan Ho saw his undie fly in the air, he grabbed it and said startling the man, “HOW DARE YOU THROW MY PINKY UNDIE!” he rubbed his undie as if it's his pet, eww!
I rolled my eyes and the man got up startled, I inquired, “uhm, sir... Can I know what you're doing in our room?”

“I-I made the booking today and I was wondering who's luggages are these. Sorry for the mess.” I nodded in assurance and gestured Kwan Ho to pack up his things. The man left the room hurrying, Kwan Ho and I started packing up our things making sure we left nothing behind. As I zipped the suitcase and put on my back pack, I glanced at Kwan Ho and rolled my eyes, he was placing his undie carefully as if it was a gold chain and zipped his suitcase.

As his eyes met mine which was glaring at him, he said, “okay okay am sorry, let's go!” and I went through the door way, pissed by his actions.

We didn't get a taxi at this time and had to walk. We were walking by the pavement, when I aksed Kwan Ho, “okay, now where are we going to stay? In pavements like that guy!?” I pointed toward a guy sleeping in the pavement with robes on him, Dirty and poor. Kwan Ho glared at me and replied, “what are you saying Ki Ra!? We aren't poor! We have enough amount of cash, we will book another luxurious hotel and this time, I'll make the correct booking.”

“why don't we rent a house for 2 months instead!? ”
“hmm, that sounds good. But at this time in the night, where will we find one?” he asked me while looking up at the sky.
I replied sighing, “let's first get to the task, let's go  straight to the bar and finish our work there, and then think of something.” and he nodded.

We went inside the bar pulling our suitcases in, as we were passing the drink counter, I was sharply watching Kwan Ho making sure he doesn't drink. He didn't even dare to look at the drink counter, maybe because he saw me put the pocket knife in my pocket, actually that was for any emergency, not for him. But poor guy, thought it was for him and is being with me like a little kid following his mom.

As we went by the lift to the respective floor where I went earlier, the same two guards were standing there. They checked us again and asked the same question, “do you have an appointment?”

I shook my head and so did Kwan Ho. The guard gave a nod to the other and went inside, I know why, to ask the owner whether to let us in. The other guard was with us, as we were waiting for the guard who went inside to come back, Kwan Ho said, “till he comes back, I'll use the restroom.” I nodded and gave a glance to the guard to know what he says. He gave a nod too, and Kwan Ho went to the restroom.

As he went inside the gents restroom, he turned to close the door, only to jump in fright and hold his chest. He was shocked to see me behind him, he asked me in the same position, raising one of his eyebrow, “what on earth you're doing here? In gents restroom!?”
I folded my arms, squinted my eyes and moved closer whispering, “I can't trust you.”
“what do you mean!? What such thing did I do in a restroom to break your trust!?”
“what if you drink!”

“what the hell! There's no drink counters in washrooms, gone crazy or something!? You only can find toilet water and water in the tap. Am I mad to drink that!?”
“eww Kwan Ho! I meant if you lied to me and went to the drink counter.”
“ahh, my heart was afraid of something else. But, to be sure for you about me not drinking, you can stay outside the gents restroom. If you come inside, not a good option for you.”
“aha, you think your stinky toilet is pleasant for me? Just go in and do your business, am fine outside.” I replied sarcastically turning away. He rolled his eyes and banged the door.

I waited for him, and after about 10 minutes he came out. We came to the guards and the guy who went in had come back already. He said, “sir asked you to come in after 5 minutes. But, since you had already spent 10 minutes in the restroom, you may go in.”

I nodded and grabbed Kwan Ho's hand. We went inside knocking the door. He said, “come in.”

And we went in, I saw him rummaging through his drawers probably searching for a file or something, as he glanced up to me, he said, “you again?” and when his glance shifted to Kwan Ho, he added, “brought a guy this time? To beat me or something?”

He just pissed me off, I ignored his questions and asked, “will you inquire us by letting us stand like this itself or, will ask us to sit, you bug head?”

“bug head! How dare you!” he took two steps forward. Kwan Ho stepped forward and said, stopping us both from arguing, “look, I don't know what kind of enmity you both have between each other, but, we'll finish our work and never come back. Just a small task so calm down.”

Hae Jun sat down and asked us to sit in the client's chair which was infront of his table. We both took a seat, and he closed the files spreaded on the table, paying full attention to us saying, “okay, what's the matter?”

I replied, extending the guy, Jonathon's picture,“do you know this guy? You must obviously know, the drink counter guy said me that he keeps meeting you.”

Hae Jun grabbed the picture, after glancing it, his glance shifted to me, “hmm, so he told you. He really should be fired.”

“if you do so, you'll be arrested because the guy you're keeping in contact is a criminal, Hae Jun.” I replied. Hae Jun's eyes went wide. He corrected me saying, “Hae Jun Sir!” and I rolled my eyes.
Kwan Ho said, “what? His name is Hae Jun? You never told me his name.” and I glanced back at Kwan Ho replying, “oh yeah, its Kim Hae Jun, Hae Jun sir.” and I told Hae Jun's name sarcastically.
“ain't he a korean guy? He must be from Korea right? And owns a bar in New York City. Woah!”

Hae Jun interrupted, “stop you two! I am from South Korea. And you, How the hell is Mr.James a criminal!” he said pointing toward me after replying to Kwan Ho.
I leaned forward, “look Hae Jun—”
“sir.. ” he interrupted.
“yeah, Hae Jun sir, he, has criminal records in the Seoul police station, criminal records of drug smuggling, kidnapping and murdering. He is a goon.”
“goon!? What!? He is a criminal!? No way.”

“you didn't know? How come? Aren't you his partner?”
“omo! Aniyo! he delivers my important letters and some even had financial informations. Sometimes had, even  enveloped cash!”
“ooopsy, not for good.” added Kwan Ho.
I ignored him and said, “if he's interested in robbing, he would have done that way earlier. But he doesn't rob, he does something else. He—normally a goon always does something for his own benefit, for money. And maybe it's that James works for someone, who is the one providing him money or financial support.”

“hmm, it could be, You have a point. There was no trouble with him. So, maybe he does what his boss or someone asks him.”
“correct! If we get to him, we might know who his boss is.” I added
Hae Jun asked me, “but, why do you want him now? You're serving police department or something?”
“Aniyo, he—” I gulped hard and glanced down to my lap, unable to take out the words, yet managed to spill the words, “He kidnapped Ji Hye, my younger sister”

Hae Jun's eyes widened once again. Kwan Ho spoke for me, “The cops refused to help us, and we both came here on our own to find out. I never understood what Ji Hye did to a goon?” Hae Jun was left speechless. I got hold of myself and said, “it's not him, his boss! His boss wants something from us.”

That is when Hae Jun spoke, “how do you know that? And, who is this guy!?” he asked pointing toward Kwan Ho.
“I don't know, but we will find it out very soon. That's why we're here, and this is my brother, my twin, Kwan Ho.”
As Kwan Ho opened his mouth to speak, we heard the door behind us open, we all glanced to the door to see who it was. A beautiful girl walked inside, wearing a black velvet tight top, and a pair of black heel. She looked gorgeous!

She directly came toward Hae Jun's seat saying, “aww baby, you work alot!” and she threw her arms around him. Hae Jun just smiled, he wasn't a romantic type. I don't understand in which angle does his wife love him. Wife right?

I asked Hae Jun to clear my doubt, “is this your wife?”
Hae Jun replied as he got up, “fiancé” and he pulled a chair for the girl. As she sat, she spoke, “hi guys, what brings you here? Hae Jun's freinds?”
“not freinds, but we needed a help from him. That's all, we got it so we think we should be leaving you two alone.” I said as I stood up. Kwan Ho joined me and nodded approving my decision.
I extended my hand to the girl, “Park Ki Ra.”

“I'm La Li Ly. Nice to meet you.” she shook hands with me. Kwan Ho giggled whispering to me, “La Li Li hehehehe! It's like a part of a lullaby” I hit his stomach with my elbow asking him to behave nice. To my surprise, Lily heard nothing. But Hea Jun did for sure, I found him giggle along. Did he find it funny too? I thought he would glare at Kwan Ho. Men are always weird.

I nodded as I tried to leave but Lily stopped me and said, “I'd like to know more about you. Just like that. What's your age?” and I heard Hae Jun say, “there she goes again!”

I replied kindly, “18!” and Lily jumped saying, “am 18 too!” she gave a hug and said, “I think we can be good freinds. Meet you again, see you later.” and finally let us go. I thanked Hae Jun for the support and asked him to be careful and by any chance if he got any information, to let us know. Kwan Ho gave his number to Hae Jun, I don't think that Jack fruit will bother to text us, but still.

As we were moving to the door way, we pulled the suitcases which we kept aside. That's when Hae Jun must've noticed us bringing suitcases with us, he voiced behind us, “suitcases?”
I glanced back and replied, “oh yeah, Kwan Ho's booking was unsuccessful. We have to find another place to spend the days here. Maybe renting a house.”

Hae Jun nodded and brought a bottle of water to his lips, Lily spilled the beans, “oh waw, that means we can certainly keep in contact. Hae Jun owns 5 hotels. Luxurious, like 5 star hotels. You can stay there, for free! With all facilities.”
Hae Jun choked, causing the water to spill all over him. All of us giggled and Lily asked, “Hae Jun, you don't want them to stay here? If you say no, then it's okay baby.” she said understanding the reason why he choked.

I and Kwan Ho,  cluelessly glanced at each other and turned to go. Hae Jun said, “oh Aniyo, it's okay. They can stay, they must stay.”
Must stay!? Why? I didn't bother to ask anything else. This tough man changes his mind quickly, before it happened, I bowed and pulled Kwan Ho with me outside. Lily came with us to show the hotel and our room. Luck is smiling today ever since Lily came in to the scene, maybe she will be a good freind in NYC.
