Way picked up the clear cheque and after staring at it for a few minutes, he placed it down and then said," not even a thank you?"
"Is that what you want?" Aidan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"No,"
"Then what do you want?" He couldn't help but ask.
"If I tell you will you give it to me?" Way replied.
"It depends, ask I'll see if it's in my reach or not,"
"It's in your reach so don't worry, I won't ask for something that isn't within your reach but promise me first," he replied.
"I don't give promises to things I don't know about,"
Aaah, jeez why is he so stubborn and tough headed, I guess I'll use my next trick.He thought for a while before speaking.
"It's the least thing you could do, do you know what lengths I went through just to save you? It's just a simple promise why can't you grant it for me?"
"Fine, I promise," Aidan finally accepted.
"Good, no turning back," Way smiled slightly.
"What do you want?" Aidan asked again.
"I want you, let's get married," Way spoke after a couple of seconds. He gazed at Aidan's eyes and body which were full of surprise. It was something Aidan couldn't think of.
*****
As he watched him waiting for his answer, he found himself in his room where he was before.
"Aaah, shieet what just happened? How did I get here aaah what was I thinking asking him to marry me? Aaah why did it have to happen just now," he smacked his face endlessly. He suddenly got up and then rushed out impatiently.
"Layla, Wave," he yelled as he rushed towards the living room.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you running?" His mother glanced at him.
"Where are they?" He asked.
"Did you just loose your mind? They went out have you forgotten,"
"How long?" Way asked. It's not that he had forgotten but the time difference was a bit confusing time was slower in the actual world while faster in the webtoon world.
"Ten minutes," his mother replied patiently.
"Okay," he sighed.
"What's with the dressing code? Did you always have that? It looks quite expensive," he stared at his outfit.
"Ooh, this yeah it's expensive,"
"Are you going out? On a date? Do you finally have a girlfriend? That must be it, Aah, it's high time when will I get to see her?" She bombarded him with questions.
"Mum, that's not it, I don't have a girlfriend," Way whined a bit.
"We are back," they were interrupted by Wave's voice.
"Wave, Layla why didn't you tell me Way got himself a girlfriend?"
"He did?" Layla and Wave yelled at the same time.
"I did not," Way spoke up, but everyone was busy making things up.
"Yeah, he is going on a date look at his expensive suit," Way's mother turned to him once more.
"Is anyone even listening?" Way couldn't help but yell frustratedly.
"Just shut up and answer when did you get yourself a girlfriend? Is that why you've been having make up and dressing up too much in the hospital?" Layla spoke up.
"Make up? Dressing up?" Wave turned to Layla in disbelief. He couldn't believe his twin brother who never cared about anything was now into make up and dressing himself up.
"Your suit looks really expensive and the shoes are they new? Aaah, I've never seen them," Wave smiled.
"Invite her over for dinner, let's meet her you have a bad taste in women we need to check her just in case," Way's mother said.
Way had never dated that was a fact, each time he had a crush on someone he either had bad luck or bad intuition. He didn't know how to read women so after a series of rejection, he stopped courting. It was now two years since he stopped courting ladies.
"I can't take this anymore, think whatever you guys want to think," Way spoke up as he glanced at the three ladies. He shook his head in disbelief before going back to his room.
"Wait up, aren't you going on your date anymore? That will be a shame, where are you taking her anyway? You dressed yourself up so don't let her down. Have you booked a restaurant? Let us help you," Wave yelled as they watched him stomp away. She turned to Layla and after Layla had nodded her head, they ran after Way.
"What is it with you guys? Why are you following me?" Way raised his voice slightly.
"We just want to help, don't worry we got you," Layla said.
"Anyway where did you get the money for the outfit? Where are you taking her? Is she beautiful?" Wave asked again.
They watched as Way scrolled through his phone silently.
"Why are you quiet?" Wave asked again.
"Just be quiet for heaven's sake, what has gotten into you people. Here I hope this will clarify everything up," Way looked up and then passed them the phone with the updated chapter from the webtoon.
"Whaat? So you really went on a date but not with a girl?" Wave looked up in disbelief.
"But with Aidan? How? I thought you were only dragged into the comic when he was in danger? What happened this time?" Layla looked slightly puzzled.
"Let's look on the brighter side,"
"What's the brighter side?" Way asked curiously his eye brows slightly raised.
"Atleast you went on your first date, anyway how was it? What did he order? Was the hotel luxurious? Was it five star or a six star? What about the shopping mall?" Wave couldn't help but ask.
"Aren't you the cartoonist? You drew everything in there plus it's all in the webtoon," Way eyed her.
"It's not the same, yes I am the cartoonist but at this moment, the story isn't mine anymore the story is about you and Aidan. You are the protagonists of the webtoon that is why you were dragged in for no reason you are now responsible for it whether it's going to be a happy ending or a sad ending that's up to you both,"
"Wait, what is this? Did you just tell Aidan to marry you in the webtoon?" Layla slowly looked up with mixed feelings.
"Whaat? Where is it? I didn't read it," Wave moved closer to her as she tried to read that part.
"What was that about? Aren't you moving too fast? Speak up why did you say it?" Layla asked.
