I didn’t expect Marcus to call me. His call came in while I was in the study reviewing important documents I couldn’t complete at the office that day.

“Why are you calling?” I asked without bothering with formalities. We weren’t friends, so he had no reason to call me.

“I need you to do something for me,” He said, his voice was sharp as he spoke, like this wasn’t a

request.

I couldn’t help but wonder what Marcus could want from me, even if I am not ready to do anything. “I can’t,” I said without asking for details. “If you have nothing else to say, I’ll be ending the call,” I stated, ready to put an end to this conversation. “It’s about Lydia.” That was enough to stop me.

“What about Lydia?” I said hastily, pushing the file to the side. “Lydia needs you to be with her right now,” His voice is low but firm.

Although he tried to pretend I could hear traces of hesitation in his voice, as if he did not want to tell me this, but he had no other option. “What about Lydia? What happened to her?” I asked again when he did not reply after a few seconds.

“Someone has to be with her right now.” I was already standing and walking towards the door before he went on to explain. “I am watching now, but I can’t go close to her. She doesn’t want me to. I don’t know if she’s going to see you, but I think you would be the person who would be able to take her home in one piece.” He wasn’t making sense.

“What did you do to her?” I asked, knowing that Lydia wouldn’t just say that. He must have done something. Although I didn’t like him, I can’t deny the fact that they are almost always together.

“That is not your business. Get going already.” He said, “You’ll go with it without that information.” He said, and he was right.

I was already running down the stairs before I realised that my keys were not with me, so I rushed back to the study and grabbed up my keys.

Marcus sent me the location where Lydia was. I got there in ten minutes. I met him first, and he finally told me what he spoke to Lydia about. My jaw ticked, and I felt my pulse rising by the moment, angry at the entire situation. But I knew it was better to leave my feelings out of this.

This wasn’t so hard since a part of me was happy Marcus was finally leaving.

I walked past him, but he stopped me. “I may be leaving, it may feel like I’m walking away from her and handing her over to you,” he dragged his words, pain mixed with regret evident in his tone.

“This is not because I cannot pursue her, but it’s because I respect Love, and I know that whatever happened between you guys was a misunderstanding which can be resolved.” He swallowed.

He pushed his hand through his hair. It seems he had so much to say, but he was not able to say it. Finally, he said, “How about we go grab a drink together tomorrow evening?”

“Why do you think I would want to drink with you?” I raised a brow.

“I’ll send you the location and time, you are welcome to join me.” Without another word, he walked off.

Lydia bumped into someone and began falling backwards. I’m glad I got there right on time to catch her.

Holding her by her wrist, I steadied her and then brushed some strands of hair from her face. Her eyes were red from unshed tears, and a look of surprise flashed through her face.

“I’m so sorry,” the man she bumped into said, “Are you okay?” He asked, his voice dripping with concern. Lydia simply smiled, “Yes. I’ll pay for your drink.” She offered, but he shook his head and waved his hand at the same time. “No need. We are both at fault.” The man said, and bowed before leaving.

“I’m glad I caught you on time. It would have been a spur scene if you had fallen to the floor.”

“Thank you, Mason.”

“I thought I wasn’t going to hear you apologise,” I said, hoping I could lighten her mood.

“Why are you here? Met with someone?” I asked, looking at her, hoping her face would betray any emotions, but it didn’t. All those emotions written on her face from earlier had been wiped away, replaced with a solemn look.

I truly wished she’d tell me the truth, that Marcus had met with her, and he was leaving. But just as I thought, Lydia didn’t trust me yet with some information about her life.

“I heard of this place and wanted to try it. It’s been a long time since I had Korean snacks.” She said, throwing her gaze to the side. I traced her gaze, a group of people were gathered around, and in the middle were two men singing while three behind them were playing instruments,

“Do you want to listen?” I asked, and she nodded. We walked forward and stood at a spot where we could see them clearly. Lydia wrapped her hand around herself. Shaking her head along with the rhythm. That was when I noticed the brown map on her white top. I pulled out a handkerchief, wanting to give it to her, but it was too late to wipe the stain, which looked embedded in the shirt already.

Instead, I pulled off my jacket and wrapped it around her, she froze and slowly looked behind her. I had been too carried away to notice the stain earlier. “What are you…”

“Shhh!!” I placed one finger on my lips, shutting her up. “Let’s keep listening,” I said, motioning to the middle with my head. We stayed there for the next fifteen minutes before leaving.

We walked towards the direction we were coming from. That was when I realised that we were heading to her car. I wished she’d allow me to drive her home. “That song felt a bit nostalgic.” I broke the deafening silence between us.
