Yuri just laughed awkwardly. "I think we should eat first." She tried to divert the topic.
Brandon just bobbed his head as he started to eat his food as well. They enjoyed their meal together.
When they were done, Brandon brought Yuri to the bar where they could drink all night. They chose to hang out in Neon Royal Night Club which was owned by Alexis, Mark's and Daniel's friend.
They chose a private booth where they could drink without being disturbed by the loud noise and other customers.
Brandon guided Yuri inside the booth before ordering drinks for them~ Lady's drink for Yuri while beer for him.
They sat down together on the soft couch. They were on the second floor so they could see the dance floor from their position. Since it's Friday, the club was so crowded tonight.
Yuri was having fun just watching the crowd dancing on the dance floor. It had been so long since the last time she went to the bars and clubs.
"Are you enjoying this?" Brandon asked Yuri, watching her bright expression.
"Yeah. I missed doing this. I got so busy with work and studies that I didn't have time to hang out with friends."
Brandon chuckled with amusement in his eyes. "You should be glad I'm the one who's with you right now."
"Huh? Why should I?" Yuri asked him, lifting an eyebrow.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Because I can give you fun. You will definitely enjoy my company!" Brandon shamelessly said, winking at her.
Yuri couldn't stop herself from giggling. Brandon's cheerful and lively attitude could make her laugh.
"But kidding aside, Yuri… I just want to apologize for what I did before, making you cry and giving you trouble because of my childish behavior. Honestly, I was just rebelling at that time as I wanted to be carefree before I assumed the great responsibility from my family. You just became a poor victim of mine. I'm really sorry..."
Yuri patted Brandon's shoulder. She understood how he felt. She could relate to him.
"Past is past. I will not hold a grudge. I already forgave you… a long time ago."
"But honestly, I am dying to know… why did you suddenly cry at that time. I never thought that a doctor like you would be a crybaby." Brandon chuckled as he reminisced about their moment.
Yuri pursed her lips before hitting his chest. "You made me worried. I was concerned about you. Your safety was my priority. You threatened me using your health! But you know that I couldn't date my patient!"
"I was put in a difficult situation at that time. Before I knew it, I just found myself crying in front of you."
Brandon cleared his throat. He felt guilty for that.
"Ahem. But I am not your patient anymore. Maybe now you can date me!" Brandon said jokingly.
Yuri narrowed her eyes at Brandon. "You are making the moves again. I thought you were still heartbroken. You are unloyal! No wonder she rejected you! Hmmph."
"Ouch! That hurts!" Brandon reacted right away, pressing his hand against his chest as he pretended to be hurt by her blatant words.
Yuri rolled her eyes. She knew that Brandon was just putting on some act.
"You can't fool me!" She insisted.
Brandon faced her with his puppy-eye look. "Am I not likable? All the girls are rejecting me. First, it's Alveena, then Bianca. And now, it's you! I feel like I'm going to be single for life!"
Yuri gasped in surprise, covering her mouth with her hands. She didn't expect that.
"You mean… Alveena Sy and my patient, Bianca?"
Brandon smiled sheepishly, nodding his head while scratching his face. "Yes…"
"OH MY! I guess you are truly unlucky to be rejected by those amazing women!"
Brandon just laughed at his misfortune with women.
"Yeah… so true." Brandon took a deep sigh. He couldn't agree more with Yuri.
"Hmm, don't worry. Don't give up. You never know your destiny is just waiting for you out there." Yuri tried to console him.
That was also the time the waiter arrived, serving their orders.
"Hmm, Let's drink and cheer up for our heartbreaks!" Yuri said, lifting her glass for a toast.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBrandon frowned when he heard that.
"Our heartbreaks? What do you mean? Are you heartbroken too? Who dares to do that?" Brandon bombarded her with questions, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He couldn't believe that a man would break Yuri's heart. "Who is that foolish man who hurt you? Tell me and I will beat him up. You are a heart surgeon. You should also take good care of your heart. Breaking your heart is unforgivable!" Brandon suddenly got worked up.
Yuri could only giggle. Brandon just called Matthew a foolish man.
"Hey, calm down. I am the one who got hurt, not you!" Yuri was looking at him with fascination in her eyes. She felt touched because of Brandon's concern for her.
"Sigh. What's wrong with us? Nobody wants us." Brandon drank his beer in just one gulp.
"There is nothing wrong with us. It's just that we fell in love with someone who was not meant to us." Yuri said, comforting Brandon as well as herself.
"But honestly, I'm so happy for him. Though I am sad that he didn't choose me, I am so glad to see how happy he is with the woman he loved." Yuri expressed her thoughts with Brandon.
Brandon smiled bitterly. He knew that. He could relate to that.
"Yeah, I agree. I feel so happy for her. I'm okay if I'm the one hurting. I just don't want to see her cry. Now that she's with her man… I feel relieved because she is smiling and laughing more often now."
Yuri put her hand on Brandon's shoulder. "What a funny situation we have here?! Both of us have the same fate." Yuri just wanted to make fun of their situation instead of crying or being sad about it.
Brandon's eyes lit up when an idea popped up in his mind. He turned to face Yuri. Then he held her shoulders.
"Yuri… why don't we give it a try? Let's date!"
Yuri: "..."
