Yu Lei was so scared that he jumped out of the bed and fell to the ground. From the other side of the bed, he raised his head a little to check who exactly it was that just spoke but to his surprise, he saw no one else except the tiger Jagi.
"Did.... did you just speak?"
Jagi didn't say anything anymore she just kept looking at him and at this moment, he was so shocked he began thinking he was hallucinating.
It was taking Jagi all of her self-restraint to not burst into laughter because of the way he was behaving.
'He's so cute'.
Yu Lei went back to lie down on his bed and tried to avoid the sound that he heard earlier but as soon as he lay down, he heard the voice again.
"You haven't answered me yet"
He jump up but this time around, he was on his feet.
"Whose there? Come out right now".
Jagi couldn't hold it in anymore so she began laughing. Yu Lei was so surprised as he had never seen a laughing tiger before.
"It's me silly. I'm the one talking".
"Ahhh!!!!" Yu Lei screamed so loudly it was so loud that many other people would have heard his voice. As a result of this, Jagi move backward scared that something might happen and that she had definitely made a terrible mistake.
She ran out of the room as fast as she could and went back to the main mansion.
She didn't like the fact that he got so scared of her but there was nothing she could do about it besides, it's not every day that one would see a tiger talk. She lay on the soft bed close to that of the sleeping Joo Ah looking all sad and defeated.
Early the next morning, the van that was supposed to take them to Kay's hospital arrived so it was time for them to leave. Jagi kept looking around to see if someone she really wanted to see was there but he was nowhere to be found. It was obvious now that he definitely didn't want to have anything to do with her. He definitely didn't want to have a talking tiger as a friend.
Sadly, she entered the van and they began leaving the mansion. But unknown to Jagi, a particular someone was watching her through the windows of Lu Jinho's study.
'Did I hurt her feelings? She was probably scared because of the way I screamed. Is that the reason why she ran away? I really wish I could talk to her and let her know that that was not my intention. Uhhh why am I this bothered with a fucking animal? I need to see Kay'.
He nodded like he was satisfied with his conclusion but after a while, he stopped like he was thinking about something.
'Wait, if I go to see Kay, I might run into her. No no no that would be bad. I can't go'.
"What are you thinking about these days?"
He turned around and saw Lu Jinho behind him.
"It's nothing serious. I can handle it".
"If you say so. Let's go to the office I have a meeting at ten and after that, we are taking a short trip".
He said as they began walking out of the study and out of the mansion.
"Where are we going to?"
Yu Lei asked.
"Tabilia".
As soon as Lu Jinho said this, Yu Lei stood still. He totally forgot what today was but yet his friend didn't.
After the meeting, Lu Jinho and Yu Lei left for Tabilia Yu Han also followed them. They were supposed to go with Kay but he couldn't join them because he was trying to make both Joo Ah and Jagi as comfortable as possible.
Taking a car would take about four hours but they used a helicopter so they arrived there in no time. When they got there, some of Lu Jinho's men in Tabilia came over to pick them up and take them to a remote area. Lu Jinho ordered his men to bring the things he had kept in the car out and they did.
Lu Jinho Yu Lei and Yu Han went into a very small house that look pretty empty but still very neat. They began setting a remembrance table and after it was ready, they placed a woman's picture at the end of the table.
They showed their respect a few times and after that, Yu Lei knelt down in front of the table and both Yu Han and Lu Jinho followed suit.
"Hi mom, did you miss me?"
He paused and smiled for a while then looked back at her.
"I'm sorry, I totally forgot today was your remembrance. I'm the worst son ever. To be honest, I was thinking about something else so I completely forgot. It'll never happen again".
After a few hours, they all left for City C. It was already really late so they all went to bed.
Lu Jinho couldn't sleep so he decided to take a walk around the mansion. He finally went out and decided to go to a spot where he usually stayed to relax. This is a place in the entire compound that no other person goes to except Yu Lei. On getting there, he noticed Yu Lei sitting close to a pool and talking to himself. He wanted to go over but then he heard what he said.
"Mom, I'm losing my mind. I can't stop thinking about her and the worst part about it is ever since she spoke to me, I kinda see her as a human, a woman to be precise. Am I going crazy? I've never felt this way toward anyone before so how can I feel this way toward a tiger?"
Lu Jinho's eyes opened wide and the glass he was holding suddenly fell to the ground. Yu Lei turned to see who it was and when he saw Lu Jinho, he knew it was game over.
'What was I thinking saying things like this in the open?'
"What did you say? You have feelings for Jagi?"
