Stuck in you

Jack cleared his throat. "Sorry, I didn't know."

He wasn't aware of what went on with proposals, given that he hadn't actually proposed himself.

Seeing his awkwardness, Henry clapped his hands together.

"I forgot. You were in an arranged marriage," he slurred bluntly.

Jack curled his lips and resisted the urge to smash his own bottle against the table, but his friend didn't even notice it.

Henry tilted his head and took another chug from his own glass. "What am I going to do?" he groaned, clutching his head.

Jack shrugged helplessly. It was at these times when he didn't know how to advise him. It was also these types of situations wherein the man should help himself.

Henry was now in an awkward position, and he just didn't know what to do.

He'd been racking his head the entire time on how to get the woman to accept his proposal. At his desperate expression, Jack had to hold back to laugh.

Henry didn't drink a lot since his father called him back.

It was just half an hour after midnight when he finally left.

The bar was incredibly busy during that time. Jack had parked his car far away from the bar, so he had to make a detour. As he passed through the lively streets, he could see his sights being blinded by neon signs.

Although it was late, the streets were bustling. In addition to the shops, small stalls had also opened up on the side streets to accompany the crowd.

It was summer now, yet there were still many stalls selling barbecue under the shimmering stars.

Heavy smoke billowed, covering his surroundings.

Jack frowned, covering his nose at the amount of smoke around him.

The streets accommodated the younger generation. They all walked in small groups as they laughed and cursed boisterously from time to time. It made the atmosphere much livelier.

He couldn't help but think back to the old snack street where Rachel and he used to go to.

A smile slipped into his lips at the thought.

Several young women walked pass him as he was walking, and he slightly turned his body to avoid bumping into them.

Suddenly, a man jumped out from the crowd and pushed past the younger crowd.

The girls shrieked in surprise.

Suddenly, a figure fell into his arms. He was going to avoid her, but after a few seconds of hesitation, he reflexively reached out and caught her.

Before he could react, she clung to his clothes and buried her head into his chest, screaming.

Jack tried to shove her, but it was to no avail. "Miss, could you please let me go?" he whispered in her ear.
