“Daebak(Awesome)” Scarlett whispered, staring straight at him.
“What?” He muttered.
“Go on. Sit” Scarlett gestured, chuckling.
“Thank you. I’m sorry if I inconvenienced you. But the seats are all filled up” He said.
He was Phil. He had left home to drink himself to stupor since he was fidgeting about the thr_@tening call he received.
“Its fine. Its really a jackpot for me to be facing such a hansome man like you while drinking” Scarlett smiled.
“Ye?(What?)” Phil asked, and raised his both brows.
“No,,, Nothing” She shook her head.
Phil smiled and nodded.
The woman brought in a tray of 2 soju bottles and Phil ordered 5 for himself.
The woman nodded and left.
“5??!” Scarlett widened her eyes, showing him all 5 fingers.
“I drink 10 at times” He chuckled, rubbing his hair.
“Wow. I like men who are heavy drinkers just like you”
“It’s nothing. Light drinking isn’t something a fit man should be proud of” Phil winked.
Scarlett giggled.
“I’m also a heavy drinker. Its too bad I have only few dollars with me. I had to get 2 for myself cause of it” She explained.
“Mind if you join me when the soju lands?” Phil asked.
“Really??!” She asked, in excitement.
“Sure!”
“Wow. Its my pleasure. I really wanna get drunk tonight!!” Scarlett shouted and Phil laughed.

The woman came and dropped the tray of 2 more sojus on the table.
“Hold on, Ahjumma” Phil said.
The woman looked at him.
“I clearly said I wanted 5. Why are you dropping just 2 here?” He arched his brows.
“Omo! I’m sorry. I guess I made a mistake. I’m gonna bring the remaining 3 now”
“I will be right back and I’m really sorry again. Hold on, please” The woman said, ready to leave but Scarlett stopped her.
“No. Its fine. We’ll manage this” She said.
“What? You sure?” The woman asked.
“Hey,,, What are you talking ab-
Scarlett quickly kicked him from underneath and he whimpered lowly.
“We are good. We are just gonna have this” Scarlett said.
“Well, If you say so then” The woman said and left.
Scarlett bowed down lightly and faced Phil who had an obnoxious look on his face.
“Geez! That scared the hell out of me” She held her chest.
“Just smile and let’s just manage this, huh” Scarlett added
“I don’t like this” Phil Mõ@ɲed, childishly.
Scarlett chuckled.
“Here, Kumbe!!(Cheers!)” She said, raising her glass of filled soju.
“Kumbe!!” Phil replied and clicked his filled glass with hers.
“This is life” Scarlett said, after chugging down her own.
“Swears,,,, Krrrrr… So sweet” Phil smiled.
“Kumbe!!!” This particular word was the most used word said in that very table.
***
“Arrgg!!! Where… are my 5 bottles! I want my 5 bottles now!!” Phil said, shaking his head.
Scarlett clicked her tongue and scoffed.
“Just 2 bottles and you’re already drunk? I thought you said you were a heavy drinker?”
Phil chuckled.
“That jerk! I’m gonna ki|| that jerk first!” He said, and suddenly fell down from the chair.
“Huh!” Scarlett yelped.
She quickly ran to him, bent down and tapped him.
“Hey! Hello? You can’t stay here! Wake up! You need to leave cause I’m leaving now! Hello?!”
“Hey!!!” She shouted.
THE NEXT MORNING, 8AM**
“Oww… My head. f_ck. Its seriously spinning” Phil grunted and held his head.
He was also nauseous and fatigue.
He stood up and walked to the refrigerator.
He opened it and took out a bottle water which he opened immediately and began to gulp down heavily.
He looked around and gasped.
“Where am I? This…This isn’t my place! Where the f_ck am i? Did I lodge in a small motel or what? I lodge in Hotels and not motels!’
“What…happened last night? Huh! Phil! remember! Oww.. My head,,, Its f_cking hurts”
“Is there any hangover soup, meds or perhaps shower around?” He thought looking at the poorly furnished house.
He sighed deeply and struggled to find his way into the shower.
He finally got to it, went in and pulled down his clothes.
He showered and got a short white towel around, which he wrapped around his waist.
“Feels more like it…” He sighed deeply, with a short smile and walked out.
The first person his eyes fell on when he left the door was an unknown lady in her early twenties.
She was facing him, wearing a short blue towel and a white towel over her head, which wrapped her hair stylishly.
She was wearing a floppy slippers and by the look of it, She definitely wanted to have her bathe.
They both shared intense stares and after noticing they were both half naked.
They opened their mouth widely and let out a loud scream.
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
