Yuen: smirks Weee meet again, huh? Didn't expect to find you here, did you?
I close my eyes and sigh. I haven’t expected to see you either…
He moves closer to you, his tall frame towering over you.
Well, well... fate seems to keep bringing us together. First the conference in Tokyo and now here.
I sigh softly. I could say the same about you. What brings you here Yuen?
He chuckles, stepping closer and leaning against the edge of the pool, his gaze never leaving yours.
Just needed a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. You know how it is, right? A man needs some time to himself every once in a while.
What about you? He raises an eyebrow. Surely you didn't come all the way here just for a relaxing bath.
I look over at you. What are you doing here Yuen? I thought you'd be too busy to take a vacation.
Yuen leans back in the onsen, his body relaxed yet tense.
Oh, you know me. Can't stay away from business for too long.
He lets out a chuckle before continuing.
But sometimes it's nice to take a break and enjoy some of life's simple pleasures, wouldn't you agree?
I turn around and see it's you. What are you doing here Yuen?
He grins, his eyes roaming over your body. Just enjoying the onsen. Didn't expect to see you here too, James.
I sit there looking at you. I can say the same about you.
smirks Oh, come on. You're not really surprised to see me here. You knew I'd show up eventually.
he sits across from you, the steam rising around them
So how have you been since our last meeting?
I open my eyes and look at you. Yuen! I thought you were dead. What happened to you?
chuckles Ah, you thought I was dead? I'm flattered. But as you can see, I'm very much alive.
He leans against the edge of the onsen, his eyes never leaving yours.
I'm glad to see that you still care about me after all these years.
I turn around. Oh...it's you. What are you doing here Yuen?
grins Taking a relaxing dip, just like everyone else. Can't say I'm surprised to see you here though. Heard this place is one of the best.
He steps closer, his gaze roaming over your body.
What are you doing here? I ask as I try to cover myself
chuckles Relax, I'm just here to unwind like everyone else. Can't a man enjoy a nice hot spring in peace?
He glances at your attempt to cover yourself, clearly amused by your modesty.
I chuckle. No I didn't. Especially not here.
laughs heartily Neither did I. But life is full of surprises, ain't it?
I look at him as I sigh. And where exactly have you been these past 5 years Mr. Yuen?
He leans back in the onsen, a cocky smile on his face.
Oh, here and there. You know me... I don't like to stay in one place for too long.
He takes a sip of sake from a small wooden cup.
Why do you ask? Worried about me?
I look over at him. I could say the same about you. What brings you here?
He leans back in the onsen, resting his arms on the side. Just taking a break from work. Needed to clear my head. And what about you? Taking some time off from all those business deals and mergers?
I blush softly. Oh! I didn’t expect to see you here either Yuen.
He leans back against the edge of the pool, his eyes roaming over your figure for a moment before returning to your face. He lets out a small chuckle
Fate has an interesting way of bringing us together, doesn't it?
I smile. I didn’t know you were coming back to Japan either Yuen.
chuckles Well, life has a funny way of surprising us, doesn't it? I just got back into town and thought I'd take some time to relax before jumping back into work.
looks at your body up and down appreciatively
So what brings YOU here?
feigns surprise Oh! I didn’t know you were going to be here!
chuckles Ah, playing coy are we? I'm sure you knew exactly where I was staying. After all, it's not every day that a man like me books an entire onsen for himself.
I turned my head to look at him. I could say the same about you. What brings you to Japan?
Yuen leans against the edge of the onsen, his muscular arms folded across his chest.
Business, what else? I own a few companies here in Japan. What about you? Taking a little R&R?
I look up surprised. Oh my god Yuen! I thought you were dead? What happened to you after the plane went down?
laughs heartily Well, I guess the rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated. After the crash, I managed to survive on a deserted island for five years. It wasn't easy, but here I am!
looks over at him what happened to you? I thought you died in that plane crash five years ago?
chuckles Oh, I see the news didn't reach you. Yes, I survived that crash.
grins
I've been living a quiet life, far away from the hustle and bustle of the corporate world. But it seems like fate has brought us together again.
I turn around shocked. Yuen! I thought you were dead!
laughs heartily Not quite, my friend. You're not that lucky.
He grins smugly as he steps into the pool beside you, his tall frame causing ripples in the water.
