"Sorry for this," Kevin smiled and said apologetically. Even though they had held grudges against him because of his sudden marriage with Leena, he would not complain. Because in this regard, he actually owed them. He admitted that he did not really take their feelings into consideration when he married her.
"Just forget it. The rice is already cooked. What is done cannot be undone. What else could we do now?" Rain smiled helplessly. The talk concerning marriage made Rain become very emotional as he suddenly thought of Annie. Although they had already slept with each other, Annie still left him without so much as a note or goodbye.
"Have there been any problems in your work recently?" Kevin asked casually. This was a mission from Leena. Rain hadn't come around yet from his emotional issues, so Leena asked Kevin to straighten him out. But in Kevin's eyes, he himself was the one who needed to be straightened out. He also had a lot on his mind recently.
"Work will never be the reason that bothers me. Work problems are not real problems for me. Moreover, even if the sky falls, Edward is the one to bear the brunt." This was the first time that Rain had been willing to spend time with Kevin as friends. Probably because he was down and depressed today, and he really needed to let off some steam. Unlike on other days, he had become less overbearing.
"Then it is love that you are troubled by." Kevin frowned, feeling that Leena had given him a very daunting task.
"What do you think?" Rain pursed his lips and lay back on the sofa lazily. He was always like this, idle and carefree.
"It's beyond me," Kevin acknowledged. He was not a person who was good at reading people's minds.
"Then don't try to pry into my personal affairs." Rain was a man who liked to showcase his individuality, that he was different from most people, but he turned out to be very reserved when it came to matters of the heart.
"I'm sorry if I crossed the line," Kevin said apologetically with an embarrassed smile. He was quick to admit his mistakes.
"Don't take it too seriously. I was only joking. By the way, don't you need to check out what Leena's doing? Maybe she doesn't know how to cook." Rain was a little concerned. He didn't worry about Leena's cooking skills, instead he worried that Leena might play tricks on the dishes as a revenge for his unreasonable requests.
"Don't worry. I trust her cooking skills. She's actually good. We sometimes cook together," Kevin said lightly, unaware of what was on Rain's mind.
Rain seemed to have come here especially to get drunk tonight. He didn't eat much of the dishes that Leena had prepared for him. Instead, he kept gulping glass after glass of the wine, as if there wouldn't be a tomorrow. He was intent on getting himself really hammered.
What was disconcerting to Leena was that Kevin seemed to be influenced by Rain, instead of the other way around. He clinked the glasses and drank with Rain, going all out to catch up with him.
"Hey! Don't drink too much!" Leena frowned. Didn't these two men have issues with each other before? How did they suddenly become friends drinking merrily together? Leena wondered.
