They arrived at his house. It was very small just one room. His mother was lying on the corner and sleeping.
"What happened to your mother why is she sick?"
"They said she had liver failure and need to do surgery but we don't have money so she is just living with medicines."
"Liver failure...its not good we need to do the surgery as soon as possible." she looked at Ruo Bei with pitiful eyes. He turned and went to a corner to give a call. He had a child mobile with him in case of emergency. After the call he came back.
In just a few minutes the door was knocked by someone. At first Seo Jun thought that they are bad people but later found out that they were his new friends people. They directly went to his mother and picked her up.
"Where...where are you taking my mother..stop"
Natasha patted his shoulder. "Dont worry we are taking her to the hospital.. let's go.."
"But.. " she knew what he wanted to say.
"Dont worry about the money.. well talk about that later as for now you need to think of your mom"
They all went to the hospital.
"Princess what happened why did you go to the hospital." Father Lu asked
"Zio he is my new friend. His mother is sick so we brought her here. But the doctor said they need to do surgery but they don't have any money" Father Lu looked at the boy standing beside the lady lying on the hospital bed.
"Okay... I'll ask the doctors to take care to her."
"You are the best Zio" she pecked his cheek.
"Hahha my princess is also the best." Then he asked his assistant to handle it. Seo Jun's mother was admitted and all the procedure was done. They had also hired a nurse to take care of her. Now only the surgery was remaining.
The surgery was scheduled for friday which was after 3 days. After dinner they all went home and only Seo Jun was left with his mother.
Two days passed quickly and now it was day for surgery. Ruo Bei, Natasha, Seo Jun as well as Joon was sitting there at the bench outside the operation theatre. Father Lu and Father Rhi were also there waiting.
Soon the doctor came out and said that the surgery was successful. Hearing that Seo Jun cried to his heart content. He was just a child after all same age as Joon. The hardships and circumstances made him mature. Days went by and they became good friends.
One day they were all sitting in the garden.
"Ruo can we make a club?"
"What club?"
"Look you know how to fight. I know how to fight so we don't get bullied. Let's teach others who can't and get bullied because of that"
"What club...I want to join too" Joon shouted.
"Ofcourse you are a member too"
"Can I join too.." Seo Joon asked.
"Yes you will be there too... then its decided we will build the club when we grow up and we will keep two instructors to teach us."
"Name?" Ruo Bei asked
"Ummm let me think" she rubbed her chin and started thinking.
"Yes I got it... "
"What what?" Joon asked almost jumping on her but was stopped by Ruo Bei.
"Frozen Lava... how is it..how is it" she asked excitedly
"Good" Ruo Bei
"I like it" Seo Jun
"Yes yes.. frozen lava frozen lava" Joon started jumping with her.
FLASHBACK ENDS
PRESENT
"So you really came ha?" she mumbled.
"Hoo hello where are you....dont you hear I'm talking to you?" Kyo Seok shouted while waving his hands in front of her. She came back from her trance.
"Where is he?" she didn't look at him but turned to Dong Woo.
"He never comes announced and doesn't tell us anything so we don't know where he is or when he'll come" he answered. He thought that something was off with her.
"How shameless you are.. you are even publicly announcing it to everyone...tch tch." Kyo Seok said while looking at her with disdainful eyes.
At that moment she got a call.
"I have to go...I'll meet you later" she walked to the door but stopped midway, turned " hey dont forget about your bet....I not leaving you all" then she went.
"Why are you even talking with her.... didn't you see how she is.... I think Dong Woo you are already trapped in her play.... she's already seduced you" Kyo Seok said.
She got a call from Ruo Bei to ask where she was...he wanted to talk to her...he was already on his way home. They both arrived at the same time in front of the house. He got out of the car.
"Why are you home so early? What did you wanted to talk to me about? Did something happen?" she asked the moment she saw him. She thought something happened and so he called her and came home so urgently.
"No... I have to go"
"Go? where?"
"Singapore...business"
"How long are you there?"
"Two weeks" hearing that she pursed her lips and became silent. After a while
"Okay... when are you leaving?"
"Now.." he looked at her intently "Don't cause trouble....don't play around....don't roam around...and don't...." he was stopped by her hand clasped on his mouth.
"Oh come on Ruo do you think of me as a child?" he didn't answer but looked at her meaningfully.
"What?" she put her hands on her hips and looked at him with threatening gaze.
"No" he answered immediately after noticing her reaction.
"Good.." While they were talking his secretary came to them.
"Boss.." Ruo Bei nodded. His project in Singapore had some problems he needed to leave right now...and it would need time to settle everything to normal.
"I need to leave now"
"Okay...call or text me when you reach"
