Stuck in you

Jack raised his head and looked upstairs. Then, he began walking up.

At the same time, Rachel arrived at the hospital exactly ten minutes before they were scheduled to leave.

When she arrived, the supervisor was taking attendance and arranging everyone who was taking part in the conference and training.

After greeting each other, they all got into the private bus and headed straight to the airport. They were scheduled to arrive in the neighboring province at 9 am.

On the way, Rachel idly looked down at her phone, wondering if Eric would wreck her house while she was gone.

Just as she checked the time and was about to turn off the screen, she received a text message.

Rachel's heart skipped a beat in anticipation, but when she saw that it was just a promotional message, she frowned in disappointment.

What had she been looking forward to, anyway?

Seeing that one of her colleagues was coming to talk to her, she turned off the phone and raised her head to chat with that person.

The truth was, Rachel had forgotten that she had blocked Jack's number that day.

Since his number was in her blacklist, she wouldn't receive calls or messages from him even if he tried to contact her.

Meanwhile, at Rachel's house, Eric was very sleepy after taking a shower.

He threw his bath towel down, slumped into the bed, and fell asleep in less than a minute.

When Jack reached the landing of the second floor,

he heard loud snoring coming from one of the rooms.

For a few moments, he froze, feeling as if his head had been smashed heavily with a hammer.

It was obvious that the snoring was coming from a man.

However, it didn't make sense for a man to be sleeping here so early in the morning, unless...

'Is it possible that he stayed here overnight?'

As soon as the thought entered his mind, he felt a fire rise from the bottom of his heart, causing him to lose all reason.

Glaring fiercely, he walked straight toward the bedroom door at the end of the hall, but when he passed the guest room, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to the door.

The door of the guest room was open just a crack, and this is where the sound of snoring was coming from.

Without hesitation, he threw the door open and stormed inside angrily. 'Damn it! Who dared to stay the night here?'

The door slammed against the wall, but the noise didn't wake up the man who was asleep face-down in the bed, wrapped in a quilt.

Jack walked over to the bed with the same furious momentum, but when his eyes fell on the man's naked back, he stopped.

There was a long faded scar running down the man's back from his shoulder to his waist.

Of course, Jack immediately recognized him.
