"What the hell is going on here, Ichiro my boy?" Evan roared.
But that boy was busy in another world of drunkenness with music volume turned up and 3 ladies collectively making a karaoke room out of the condo.
"Are you ignoring us?" Akeno shouted.
No answer.
An irritated Akeno walked up to the music system and pulled the plug out of the socket as it is.
Sash stopped midway as she was about to sing standing on top of the table, there was an air of confusion between the four before Ria saw Akeno with the plug in his hand.
"Why are you guys here? hiccup!" RIA spoke and beat her chest.
"Who… who is here friend?" ichiro slurred.
"Ohh! Do I know youuu!" ace got up and went up to Akeno.
Akeno disgusted pushed her back with the tip of his index finger on her forehead. Ace frowned and held his finger tightly.
"Let go!!" Akeno said.
"Then tell me who are you!?" ace looked at him straight.
"Your boss." Akeno said and pushed her back.
"Oh! Boss uncle… nice to meet you huh? Would you like a drink sir?" ace sat down in front of Akeno.
"Akeno looked at her in disgust and put his hands to his forehead, "is this girl mad?" he thought.
While ace and Akeno bantered an angry Evan threw a nearby couch pillow at ichiro.
"Hey, have you gone deaf?" Evan.
"Huh! He he...he… oh! You're here? Nice timing." Ichiro showed finger guns at Evan.
"What nonsense are you blabbering. And what's going on, so much noise. Oh god! Ichiro get up." Evan.
"No… I will come later. Oh! You met my girlfriend. Let me show you. Sasha come down here to me fast." Ichiro.
Sasha who was on top of the table jumped and stumbled on the mattresses beside Ichiro, he pulled her up and turned to Evan, "see… you know girlfriends are cute? Do you? Ah right you don't have one!? Never mind." Ichiro giggled.
An angry Evan seething with rage screamed, inside his mind.
"This brat!!! I will kill you, if you don't shut your mouth." All in his head.
"Shut up you fucker!" Evan bent down and pulled Ichiro.
"Oh! Why… you. Go. Ok. I am going for another round." Ichiro cheered his soju bottle with Ria and sash.
"Uncle Boss… sit down please!!!" ace said very loudly.
Everyone turned to her direction.
"I am not sitting here and I am not your uncle." Akeno.
"Boss… you should drink. I am offering." Ace.
"No stop it and don't call me boss like mafias." Akeno.
"Mafia! Hahahaha! I am much more powerful than you." Ace fell back as she laughed loudly.
Akeno looked at Evan who was already grossed out because of ichiro and sash cuddling on the floor. Akeno was suddenly pulled by ace that was crawling towards the table dragging Akeno on his fours. She insisted on serving him drinks and food. Evan laughed loud making Akeno stare him down and curse on him silently. As Evan kept on looking at both the scenes he felt something missing. Just then Ria grabbed his neck in an arm lock. She dragged him to the table where all of them were.
"You really are a brat. Huh!" Ria smacked him on his head.
"Ouch! This mad woman." Evan.
"What!?" Ria.
"Heyy! Let me go." Evan.
"Yes. I will… if you drink this." Ria held a glass of soju shot in front of his mouth.
"What!? Why would I?" Evan shouted.
Ria tightened the grip on his neck.
"Gosh!! Give it to me. I will drink. Give! Fast!!" evan.
Evan gulped down the drink in one gulp. It had been a long time after he came back from the university that he was drinking like this. He felt the drink surge through his veins. He shook his head and turned to Ria who was chugging down on the drinks and snacks. He looked over towards Akeno who was being force fed by ace. Ace cheered on Akeno as he took a large gulp. Ace moved her waist along the music which Ria set again.
Ace stood up and went towards the balcony of the 47th floor, that is, the roof of the building and looked at the city, Bright and shimmering lights, brighter than the moon in the sky. Akeno kept on taking small sips and gazing at her. He took out his phone and clicked a picture of her back just like that and kept staring out like her staring the city.
"Heyy! Quit drinking. Okay!?" Evan snatched a bottle of soju from her hands.
"What's wrong with you? Give it back to me. Now!" Ria.
"It's your 7th bottle. Damn it!" Evan pushed her back.
"So; what is it to you? Let go!" RIA shouted.
Evan froze." Yeah what is it to me." He thought. Ria saw her opportunity and snatched the bottle back. Evan was still thinking about it. But he couldn't find the reason. But somehow it didn't feel right to him to let her drink further. He held her hand midway as she was about to drink again.
"Last one." Evan.
"Huh!" Ria.
"I said no more drinking." Evan.
Ria looked at her bottle and started chugging it down in one go. She drank it all and thumped the bottle on the table. She placed her head on the table and closed her eyes. Watching her stop Evan opened a beer can and took a sip. He could see she wasn't asleep as she kept on fiddling with a bottle cap with her eyes closed.
After all this quietened down. Sash opened her eyes and found herself laid beside ichiro who was asleep too. She wiped the drool on her face and got up. Her head still throbbing.
"Whoa! So many people, it's a party." Sash picked up a cheese corn dog.
"Why are squealing." Ichiro asked after he had some sleep which had brought him back to his senses.
"Look everyone's here. Ace's brat and Ria's brat too." Sash said nonchalantly.
"Huh! Oh! No don't say that. Let's go to your room. Don't drink anymore." Ichiro.
"Ah! Yeah I am already full." Sash.
Sash stretched out her hands towards ichiro, who was already standing up. He pulled her to a stand and walked her towards the other room.
"Ah! One more thing, suit yourself boys." Ichiro closed the door behind him.
"This rascal, he is having his night." Evan murmured.
Akeno was still in a daze, with the cold air coming in through the open balcony where Ace was now sitting on the floor.
