The smell of new recipes caused Ivan's nose to tingle and his mouth to water. Seoul was a busy place but there was still time for people to stop by and have some of those good road side meals. Where one woman yelled to create awareness about her freshly prepared Tteokbokki which is known as spicy stir fried rice cakes in English, another yelled for people to try her delicious Gyeran-Ppang which was known as egg bread, another retailer called out to Ivan to try his mouth watering Bungeo-Ppang which was a red bean goldfish pastry. "Hello! Foreigners!" One man yelled out. "Welcome to Seoul! Come here to my stall, let me give you wonderful tasty food!" He exclaimed with a broad smile on his face. "Yeah thank you!" Ivan responded as he nodded his head. "Come on guys." He told Alfred and Mia who instantly followed him."What you like? Look everything here, very very cheap and affordable but everything here, very delicious to your stomach." The man expressed as he rubbed his stomach.He s
The air suddenly became hazardous as Ivan found it hard to breathe, choking on every single attempt to draw air into his lungs. He froze, thinking of a plausible explanation to tell her that would be good enough for her to believe. He stared at her, only to notice that she wasn't staring at him but at Mia with a look that depicted utmost displeasure. "Tara," he called out to her, her eyes finally landing on him again. "Hi, what are you actually doing here? Should you not be on the school's vacation trip?""I think I should be the one asking you that question. But since you asked first, I will give you an answer. As you know, it is mandatory for every student but definitely not for me. I didn't feel like being there but felt like coming to the world's best shopping complex where real diamonds and gold are actually sold so, here I am." She explained with a smile. "Oh wow, that sounds awesome actually." Ivan forced a smile. "You..." Tara raised her index finger at Ivan. "Shouldn't you
It was a rather quick drive back to their residence and they found Alfred pacing about in the compound. Ivan hurried out of the car with worry written all over his face. Alfred paused as he saw Ivan and Mia approaching him. "Alfred! Is everything okay?!" He questioned as he rushed to meet Alfred where he was standing. "Young master Wayne!" Alfred exclaimed excitedly. "I am so happy to see you here so fast!""Are you okay? What happened-- did something happen?" "Yes! Something great!" A wide smile appeared on Alfred's face."What is it then? Don't keep me waiting in the dark!" Ivan exclaimed.Alfred turned to face a bald suited man that was standing only a few feet from them. "Hand it to me, now!" He yelled out excitedly.The bald man nodded then immediately went over to join them where they were standing and handed Alfred a black iPad. "Here you go sir." He responded in a thick bold voice. Alfred accepted it and began scrolling through it. He had a kind of look that spelt exciteme
An awkward silence filled the room as both Ivan and Mia stared into each other's eyes. The sudden and uncomfortable pause in their conversation caused Ivan to wonder why she was so silent and instead just stared plainly at him like she had something or even so much to say. The unpleasant nature of the sudden silences was associated with the feelings of anxiety that sprouted in Mia as she suddenly felt the pressure to speak but was unsure of what to say next in response to his confession. "Are you okay?" Ivan finally broke the silence. "Huh?" She seemed to have been lost while staring into his eyes. "Yeah uhm..." She lifted her leg away from him and slowly climbed down the bed. "Actually, I uh... I just remembered that I have quite the list of chores to do today and uhm... Yeah uhm Alfred... Alfred asked to do something very very important for him today to get ready for our next flight." She stammered as she slowly receded to the door. "Ohh, well I guess I understand that you are t
The sound of the four wheeler's as they were driving by echoed in Mia's head, the sound of their blaring horns and the screeching of their tires. Everything suddenly became silent except for the loud and unsteady beating of Mia's heart. "Are you okay?" Ivan asked as he took a step closer to her.She staggered back a little, almost tripping to the ground. Thanks to Ivan's quick reflexes, he caught her by the waist and held her. "Mia? Can you hear me? Please relax!" Ivan said to her. She stared blankly at him as tears began falling from her eyes. Loud high pitched ringing echoed in her head as she stared at him, she couldn't hear a word he was saying. "Alfred, what happened to her? Is Mia's mom alright? We have to go back to check on her." Ivan said to Alfred. He was so scared and worried for Mia that he couldn't hide it."We can't go back but--""What do you mean?" Ivan snapped."But, hear me out young master. We can't get back together, not all of us, only Mia has to go back on he
The Brad Pitt look alike walked in with a satisfied smile on his face as he sighted Ivan. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb something nice." He said before he began chuckling. Standing next to him were a few men who were dressed all in black suits. Taking a few steps closer to Ivan's bed, he leaned in closer to him just to make sure he didn't have the wrong guy. "Yup, it's you alright." "Who are you and what do you want?" Ivan exclaimed as he felt fear engulf him entirely."Young master of Wayne's cooperation, it feels good to finally find you, you know I have been searching for you for two decades, this makes me so curious to find out where you were and what you were doing." He stated whilst standing akimbo.The girl with Ivan shifted her gaze to him, shock evident in her brown eyes as she stared at him. "You-- you are the young master Wayne?" She pushed the words out of her mouth. "No, does that make any sense to you?" He responded sharply. "I am not the man you are looking
"What did you just say?" Alfred jolted to his feet, his eyes widened in utmost surprise."We were together in his room just drinking some whiskey and chilling and then some dudes walked in and they were calling him the missing piece and the lost heir." The girl that was with Ivan explained."The missing piece? Where did they take him to? Where did they go? What happened?" Alfred worriedly asked."I don't know, i-- I really don't know where they took him too. Is he really the missing piece? I mean the lost heir? Is it really him?" She asked inquisitively."Of course not! He is someone close to me but not the son of the Wayne, they have taken the wrong guy!" Alfred exclaimed."What are we going to do?" "I think I know who is behind this." Alfred frowned. ★★★A smile crept on his face as he went to give Mia's mom a hug. "I was so worried about you!" "Oh Young, I mean..." She noticed China standing close to them. "I am just so happy to see you too!" She hugged him back. "Did you come a
Ariana Ortega was a graduate in computer engineering and that aside, she worked wonders when it came to tasks like that. There was almost nothing she couldn't do, she could detect bombs of all sorts as well, she was very proud of herself when she disarmed her first bomb at only sixteen. There was a group of skilled mercenaries who went about destroying the whole of Paris and they started around the early years of nineteen eighty eight slash nineteen eighty nine. Their reason? They were doing as bad politicians told them as long as they got paid. Ariana was invited by the military force to help with finding bombs and disarming them due to her speed at such tasks. So, with a skill like that, she joined the army eventually and became one of the best while serving her country. For a woman who found it easy finding and disarming bombs, finding implanted cameras and microphones was like a child's play to her. The villa was filled with men and women of different ages and looks. Being tha
