The music in The Cavern Club. All visitors enjoy their nights wrapped in hypnotic music so that some of them swerve their bodies along with the rhythm of the music.
Darren and Arthur have been at The Cavern Club since half an hour ago. There is nothing both do but sit and enjoy wine. Unlike the Lions Boys and Dragon Boys who have gone down to the dance floor just to have fun down there. Tonight, they arrive at the club to celebrate Austin and Devano's graduation day this morning.
"Der, you go on. I'm going home now." Arthur yelled a little at Darren for the rhythm of the music that almost drowned his voice.
"Alright, I'll be here a little longer" he said, circling the view in the other direction.
"Hm...." Arthur bertehem. Before leaving the Club, he spent a sip of fully filled wine inside the crystal glass. He did not want to linger at the Club, as he could not leave Helena in the penthouse alone. He worried about his wife, because the wife refused to be delivered to the Mansion of his parents.
"I'm leaving." Then Arthur stood up. "You have fun" he continued, patting Darren on the shoulder. He freed the friend and his right hand to have fun and forget a moment of work.
Darren nodded by brandishing the thumb sign in agreement. He will have fun tonight and forget the problems that have happened since morning. He will not be coming home tonight as he avoids Keiko and the two old ladies who spent the night in the mansion. This morning he did not have time to talk seriously with the woman, because after lunch, he had to attend an impromptu meeting because Arthur could not come to attend it.
After the death of Arthur from the Club, Darren again swept his eyes around. He noticed his sister and cousins dancing down there with increasingly jarring music. He did not intend to join, the drink in front of him more interesting to enjoy.
But a familiar silhouette of a woman's body became the center of his attention. Both of his eyes narrowed sharply to clarify his vision. Seconds later, he recognized the silhouette. The woman he thought was annoying and chatty was at The Cavern Club with a girlfriend. Both of them if noticed often he met at the Night Club.
Does he come to the club often?
What a strange question. It's only natural that a free-spirited woman like Veronica seeks fun at a night club. Darren's flat face suddenly stiffened when the object he had noticed was hugged from behind by a man. The man he saw last afternoon was at the restaurant with the woman.
One conclusion that became Darren's question. Is that man his new lover?
The longer they are noticed, the two seem so close and it is not awkward to hug each other. Until making Darren throw his gaze in the other direction, he gulped his drink and crushed the glass he held. Channeling that anger for nothing.
"Wow, you've got another new victim, Lim." The voice of Elden who had just sat himself in the chair shook Darren's ears. Followed by others who have also sat themselves in their original place.
"Where is Brother Ar? Is he home yet?" Austin asked Darren. He did not see the whereabouts of his brother, he can be sure if the brother has left the Club.
"Hm...." Darren cleared his throat as the answer. His mood soured after witnessing the scene that was not wearing it.
Austin chose to ignore Darren. This time he could not guess the contents of Darren's heart, because for him alcohol in front of him was more tempting than staring at Darren's face.
Darren was getting lost in his thoughts. Objects that did not escape his attention have now disappeared somewhere. Long thinking, he stood up.
"Where are you going?" asked Devano who was sitting right by his side.
"I have a job I haven't finished yet" said Darren. He just wanted to get out for a while. At least clear your mind.
"But Der-"
Devano had not yet finished his sentence, Darren had already passed. Devano shrugged both of his shoulders indifferently. Like that Darren, if in a serious mood do not want to be disturbed.
Dragon boys just returned to their seats. They were astonished by Darren who just crossed them just like that. So Jacob asked Devano and Austin, but both of them shook their heads not knowing.

Laughter boomed with the loud thump of music. Veronica doesn't stop laughing at Larry for getting a slap present from a woman who feels harassed.
"Damn! Does my face look like a pervert guy who likes to fumble around women's buttocks?" Back Larry grumbles annoyed, he does not accept because the woman slapped him for a mistake he did not make. "Obviously that son of a bitch was the one who grabbed him." The more annoyed Larry's face, the louder the laughter of Veronica and Joana.
"That's Larry, forget it. After all the woman has apologized to you," Veronica said as her laughter subsided.
"Ck, sorry is not enough. He's humiliating me." Right, he was humiliated by that woman just for being mistargeted.
"Then you want to how? Do you want to slap her back?" Veronica make sure. He also did not know how to deal with Larry's annoyance.
"Because forget it. He was also unintentional."
"Hm, I'll forget it even if I'm upset." Hearing Larry's reply, Veronica again chuckled lightly.
Joana who was among them just silently watched and occasionally sipped a drink. He seemed to be wondering about Veronica's relationship with Larry, so he said, "You two are very suitable, but why don't you guys just date?"
Huh huh? Larry and Veronica turned to Joana. It was an impossible question, one they had heard.
"You're crazy, Joana!" peekik Veronica felt unreasonable with Joana's narration.
"Me and Vero just fit in to be friends." Larry corrects, affirms his relationship with Veronica.
"really. I'm not his type and he's not my dream type either" Veronica agreed with Larry. He and Larry have always been comfortable as good friends.
"Kh...." Joana squeaks. The two are dodging each other. "What's your dream guy like, Vero?"
"Of course the handsome and hardworking. Who has a gentle demeanor and can also be cold." For some reason what Veronica imagined was the figure of Darren. "Great wealth, a lot of money and will also take me around Europe."
"Wow, you're very materialistic" exclaimed Joana dumbfounded.
"Ck, there's no harm if I dream like that. If there really was such a man, I wouldn't reject him." Veronica's smile widened. He felt that there was nothing wrong with his wish. If there is, he will accept it with pleasure, but he also does not matter if he gets a man from ordinary people like him.
"You heard Larry, you're not his type. Vero just wants a rich man." Joana insinuates Larry blatantly. And was confronted with the odds by Larry.
"I know," he said. Veronica always tells about the type of man her dreams and she thinks it is not wrong to want a man who can support the woman's life, considering that her friend is relying on herself to make money.
Veronica smiled, she gave Larry a wink, which was met with a blink of an eye from the man. As long as he was friends with Larry, the man was able to understand him. And Joana who witnessed the interaction between friends just shook her head.
Hearing her phone ring, Veronica wanted to answer the call immediately. The name of Leyla, her manager and assistant, contacted her.
"In the difficult signal, I'll be out for a while to call Leyla." Veronica gives hand-coded directions to the exit to Larry and Joana.
The two nodded simultaneously, until Veronica walked towards the exit of the Club, splitting the crowd of people who were blocking her way.
Once outside the club, the woman tries to contact Leyla. Not waiting long, Leyla answered her call and across the street, the assistant told her that tomorrow morning there was a photo shoot and that she should not drink too much.
"I get it, Leyla. Anyway, I just had a few glasses." If Leyla was in a chatty mood, Veronica could only say yes. "Hm yasudah, I close first. Bye." He then disconnected his phone just like that before being lectured by Leyla.
Veronica who had just ended her phone, was about to turn around. But he was surprised by the figure of a man who had been standing there since when with his back propped up on the wall. The figure of the man who had been pestering his mind since noon.
"Why is he here?" muttered. Veronica and the man's gaze met each other, therefore there was no way he pretended not to see the man and left just like that. "Oh my God, I didn't know you were here either" she put on a contrived look of surprise.
The man who was none other than Darren did not answer, the man just kept quiet with his sharp eyes and successfully made Veronica swallow saliva heavily.
"What's wrong with her? His face was cold, not smiling, now suddenly unable to speak. Doesn't it look more creepy? Jeez Vero, why can you have feelings for a guy like him in the fridge? "
