(Mint POV)
After the loan shark's minions left before the front of the house of Han. completely disappear for the site. I remember that I have to make a call too. I gave my friends a little privacy and I take some steps away from them to make a phone call, I quickly take my phone out of my pocket and search for the number of general manager of our family company. I asked him for his help.
"Hello, Manager."
"Yes sir."
"I need a favour to ask from you."
"I'm glad to hear sir that you think I can be helpful to you. ask me, sir, what is it?"
I take the phone on the speaker mode. and texted him the details of the loan shark's bank account with the amount of transaction. I asked him to transfer the money from my account to them. so they never bother Max again.
"Hello manager I have sent a message regarding account details. make sure to transfer the money till tomorrow, evening."
"yes sir,
sir, may I ask you regarding for what purpose?"
"Not much just some personal issues. I have purchased some stuff so I need some money."
"Ok!"
(the manager was quite suspicious and was not much considered with the excuse of Mint. by that statement of Mint, he thinks something is fishy is going on. even he inquired about the matter, that doesn't make any sense. cause he doesn't own the money that Mint has asked for. and he just was just an employee, it doesn't make him bother until it affects his job. and most importantly it's none of his business, what Mint does with his money.
For Mint and his family that much money doesn't affect their lifestyle at all. it's just like somehow cost of few weeks of holidays or some months pocket money I guess. but still, that's a quite much bigger amount of money in a middle-class family. and it's cost a lot for an avg. salarymen for his expenses. despite being more suspicious Manager didn't ask much, that's their money, what they do it's their business.)
(Mint cut the call. and looked at Kim. while exile his breath with calmness and get relaxed.)
"Ah! what the frustrating night was this. I never thought this much issue we have to face."
I looked at Kim and said. he looks also complete exhausted with this incident like others. but he takes that side and sees his friends were all right to make him go away all his tiredness. he asked me the same question he feels himself for now.
"You look relieved. does everything shot out?"
"ya, I asked my manager to transfer the money to them. they get the money till tomorrow evening."
"That's great."
I asked Han to take Max with the support of his shoulder and take him inside so he can rest. I haven't noticed about Martin at all. but when I looked at him, I definitely know, his eyes were waiting for someone. his eyes were so desperate to see someone. I got confused, to whom? even I know what his eyes were looking for, I wanted to know too. but, I don't want him to misjudge me. so instead of asking him who he was seeing, I asked him if something happened that bothers him. he refused the answer as nothing. and change his eyes to me. he was not telling me the truth. but at the same time, his eyes were looking sparked and glorious. that same eyes when contacted to mine, seems doesn't lose its sparkles at all. those same eyes, when looked into mine, I feel like the deep love. that looking into me. even he didn't express through his voice I can understand clearly his eyes telling it's caring and loving nature for the person who stands next to him. I feel too emotional from those eyes. It got me into confusion. the eyes those were looking for someone is not much different from the eyes that see into mine. just the difference is that both express love, one as a friend and other as a lover. I can't say, which one is for me and which one for the person he was waiting for? but I was hoping to know which his eyes see as a lover.
I might not be sure if it's for the person he waits for or that's for me to take a signal.
being confused we moved inside.
wait does I forget something?
"Oh! Shit, I completely forget about Eric."

Finally, I have seen him safe I get relieved. I take him inside the house of Han. and checked all that everyone is fine or not. the doctors inside the Hans house were checking Max for his injury and they suggest us to take him to the hospital to further checkup. they assure that the matter will be in close of them only, and they handle the hospital records too.
