Peak Reversal

Chapter 10: Drunk

Jace naturally didn't refuse the offer and readily agreed to the invitation then the two left while chatting like old buddies. Scarlet was completely surprised by Jun Hie's actions because for as long as she knew him, Jun Hie had always been an arrogant person who rarely hung out with anyone. Even the number of his friends could only be counted on one hand, this was how difficult it was to make friends with him so his actions were very shocking.

She then looked at Haoyu under the tree who was also looking at her with his cold eyes like they were made from ice. Her senses warned her to be careful of Haoyu because he was a very dangerous person.

‘Is he the one secretly watching over Jace in the shadows?! So he was hiding in plain sight, no, he wasn't even hiding himself.’ she thought inwardly and quickly left.

...

Jun Hie took Jace to a high end bar where only the wealthy could afford to drink here and average people compyrku avoided this place like a plague. This place was called Joe's Bar and not only did it sell expensive alcohol, it also had an entrance fee of Twenty Thousand Stella so even if you just wanted to tour the place as an average person, you had to pay such an exorbitant amount of money.

Jun Hie bought very strong and very strong alcohol and he and Jace enjoyed themselves while talking about random topics. Jace had started drinking when he entered his teen years because the psychological stress society was throwing at him was too much for him to bear so he resorted to drinking sometimes.

The two guys drank until they were completing wasted and just blurted out whatever came out of their mouth.

“So, brother in-law, that... that Haoyu, where did you find him?” asked Jun Hie.

“Hahaha, this is a really funny story. I found Haoyu somewhere in a cave and he was nothing but bones when I found him, hahaha!”

“Hahaha! That's a good one, hahaha!” laughed Jun Hie but internally, he was having different thoughts and seemed to be acting drunk for some unknown reason.

‘Fuck. So he found the skinny Haoyu trapped in a cave and nursed him back to health and in exchange, Haoyu pledged his undying loyalty to him. Lucky bastard!’ he said internally.

...

“Where have you guys been and how many drinks did you have?!” shouted Scarlet with worry as she looked at the two drunk people. One couldn't even walk properly and the other couldn't speak properly. Haoyu was standing with Scarlet and once he saw Jace in a drunk state, he smiled and shook his head. He then carried Jace like a sack of potatoes while Scarlet also ordered the servants to take Jun Hie to his room before following behind Haoyu.

“Haoyu, I actually made a friend today. Jun Hie is not just my brother-in-law anymore but also my friend. The first friend to ever have!” said Jace in a drunken voice.

“Congratulations.” said Haoyu calmly.

Scarlet on the other hand was surprised by Jace's words because that meant that Jace had never had friends until today. She just couldn't believe it. Scarlet then opened the door to her room and Haoyu entered, placed Jace on the bed and proceeded to leave.

“Wait!” she said.

“What?” asked Haoyu coldly.

“Thank you for your help.”

“I'm just doing my job so there's no need to thank me.” said Haoyu before leaving.

Scarlet then changed clothes and wore her night dress but not before he took off Jace's clothes and shoes in order for him to sleep comfortably. When Scarlet entered the bed, Jace took her into his arms and gave her a deep kiss.

“I don't know what love is and I never knew what love is but I'm gonna try my best to make you happy. You're the best thing that's ever happened in my life.” said Jace before he fell asleep.
