“!.. !… !” Jiyong cursed as Dara came crashing on the carpeted floor. He immediately ran out of the counter to where Dara is. She checked her pulse and exasperately said, “she passed out”. Dara let out a faint snore.

Jiyong slumped beside Dara with one foot tucked under his other leg. He rested his back on the counter wall and propped his elbow on his knee. He messed up his hair in frustration.

“Yah! No one slept on me before!” he shouted to the sound asleep Dara. He looked at the bulge in his pants. He can’t believe he needs to pleasure himself due to her. He furiously rubbed his face due to exasperation. He looked on his smartwatch, it showed 3:00 pm. He sighed, he can go back to his suite and take a hot bath.

He stood up and planned to carry Dara, but changed his mind when he saw her lying on the floor in a prone position with her legs slightly apart, her upper legs showing. Jiyong’s gaze quickly went to her exposed silky legs. He gulped and resisted the temptation to caress it. “I can’t carry her.. I won’t be able to control myself” he thought. He hesitantly pulled down her robe to cover her exposed legs. Jiyong then took out his phone and called his Cruise Director.

“Send someone to carry the lady back to her suite.”Jiyong said. ”She passed out” he added and ended the call.

Minutes later, the Cruise Director (wearing a suit with a red handkerchief on its front pocket) and two other cruise staff came in. One of the staff carried Dara while the other guided him out the door. Jiyong handed them the card key that he found in Dara’s robe pocket.

“Please make sure someone will take care of her. Her hangover might go pretty bad.” he told them.

He turned to the Cruise Director and said “Please tell my butler to prepare me a hot bath”. The Cruise Director started to make the call. Jiyong walked out of the Commodore Club and the guards at the door followed behind him.

Day 14th, 6:00am:

“How is she?” Jiyong asked Dara’s nurse. He appointed chambermaids and personal nurse for Dara to take care of her while she’s sleeping. Jiyong is standing next to Dara’s bed, observing her while she peacefully sleeps.

“She’s alright Sir. She vomited twice and then went back to sleep” The personal nurse said.

“Has she eaten?” Jiyong asked, he mentally counted the number of hours since she passed out. It’s been 14 hours now. “She ate porridge around 10pm Sir” The personal nurse replied.

“That’s good to know” his smartwatch vibrated and he checked his message. “The helicopter is now ready Sir” it says. Jiyong sighed. He looked at Dara again and pulled her comforter up her neck. She stirred a bit and went back to deep sleep. He put the rose he got for her on her bedside table.

“I’m sorry I have to go… I need to be back in New York” he talked to her on his mind. He turned around and headed out of her suite.

Setting: Helipad

Jiyong’s coat waved crazily due to the strong wind being created by the helicopter. His personal assistant Walter, already went inside the helicopter together with a bodyguard. The cruise ship staff busily loads in their luggages as well. The ship will arrive in Korea in the late afternoon. Jiyong’s first class flight back to New York is in 4 hours time. He needed to take the helicopter for faster travel to Incheon International Airport.

Jiyong turned to the Cruise Director. He shook his hand and walked towards the helicopter. Overall he was very pleased with how they managed the shi
