It seems the waiter’s arrival with the wine bottle awakens her mother’s attention again, and she tuts happily from the other side of the table. “You know Alex, my friend told me how lovely that Namsan tower is at night. It’s nothing compared to the Eiffel, or Sky Tree for that matter, but you really should take my Ichika sometime. I’m so worried she’ll spend all her time wandering around during the day and never seeing the city at night.” Ichika’s eyes flash as she turns her head quickly towards her mother, mouth drawn in a tight line. That woman really speaks too much. “Mother,” he begins more calmly than she feels, “I’ve been out on my own before; I wouldn’t want to bother Alex, anyway.”
Her response is met with a wave of the woman’s hand, clearly more in her cups than Ichika had realized at first. “Nonsense. I rather know you’re being looked after by someone we can trust than on your own.” Was matricide illegal in South Korea?
Had she always been like this? Probably so. The last time he had actually seen her they both weren’t exactly themselves, however, it was all quite interesting to him regardless of if she has alcohol in her system or not. She was like some sort of challenge, one of which he was growing more and more interested in by the second. Was it because of the fact that she actually was putting up more of a ‘fight’ compared to many of the other female’s he had managed to charm? Or was it because of the fact that he was finding out tonight that the girl he had slept with back then was in fact his father’s employer and just the thought of even that was enough to entertain him even in the slightest?
No matter which one it was, Alex was even more determined to do everything he could to have a bit of fun with her, maybe even tease her some and act as if he would really expose the secret that the two of them shared. What exactly would happen if both of their parent’s found out what happened between them? Surely his father would get fired, possibly even have his career as a lawyer ruined if her father went that far.
He chuckles softly, shaking his head slowly at her words as he looks at her with an amused expression. “Maybe i should do that. I’m sure with my good looks and my many charms, i could easily gain the favors of tourists with ease.” His tone is light as he speaks, the corner of his mouth lifting just slightly to smirk at her. She was indeed quite interesting and it seemed as if the longer they sat there speaking, the more he grew interested in her.
When he hears of what she’s interested in, Alex’s eyebrow raises just slightly. “oh?” with the single word he leans forward in his seat, folding his hands together as he gently places them onto the table and looks a bit interested in what she’s saying. “what sort of designs have you done so far?” is he really interested in what she has to say? not really, though he has to at least act as if he’s interested due to their parents being so close by, even if the adults were completely clueless of the fact that they had met once before tonight and it hadn’t exactly been something that was completely innocent in the end. He’s pretty sure that, if her father were to find out, he most likely wouldn’t be allowed to live anymore and Alex wasn’t exactly looking forward to dying quite yet. He still had a lot he wanted to do and was way too young to end up in some coffin buried deep in the ground.
Alex turns his attention towards Ichika’s mother when the woman speaks, offering her a warm and innocent smile as he nods in response, glancing over at Ichika momentarily while grinning before looking back at her mother. “I wouldn’t mind showing her at all. I agree with you, Namsan Tower could never live up to something such as the Eiffel Tower, though the night view of the city lights truly is still beautiful nonetheless.” He pauses for a short moment before continuing as he looks back at Ichika. “Though, i don’t think your daughter really wants to spend her time around me. I wouldn’t want to force her to do something she doesn’t want to do, or even accept the help from someone like me who is by far nothing compared to her.”
“I think, just from speaking with her so far, that she’s far more capable of getting around without my help, especially since she seems like such an intellectual individual.” Of course he’s not going to pass up the opportunity to mess with her, it was too good of a chance for him at this moment. His smirk returns once more, his eyes showing that he’s considering spilling the truth and he even shows this by what he starts to say next. “I mean not too long ago....” He’s challenging her now, even as he pauses with his own words. He wants to see what exactly she’ll do if she thinks he’s going to let their little secret be known, wants to see how she’ll react even though he really doesn’t plan on ever actually mentioning anything.
