"Hi, hi, Rina, don't go. Just now, they were about to stop smoking," without waiting for Heri to speak, Benny suddenly stood up, holding onto Lina's clothes while talking, not allowing Lina to leave.
"What are you doing? Take off your hands," Rina looked at Benny sharply and shouted loudly.
Benny smiled cynically and said, "Alright, fine, I'll let go, but you can't leave."
Benny did step back, but his gaze turned to Albert, "Hey, isn't this Albert? What brings you here?"
Suddenly being asked like that, Albert felt a little unsure. As Albert was about to speak, Rina cut him off, "Yes, I invited him over. Is something wrong? Did you not accept it?"
"If you don't accept it, then I'll go too."
"Hey, hey, hey, no one's banning you, come in."
Albert kept his head down, trying to avoid Benny's gaze, but Benny kept staring at Albert. Benny is not stupid, he can see that Albert and Rina have an amazing relationship, even though they have not officially dated, at least towards that direction.
Suddenly Benny said, "Hey, isn't that Albert?"
Before Albert could answer, Benny's friends spoke, "Benny, he's your friend from the village, isn't he? We heard he's pretty good at fighting, is that true?"
Benny laughed out loud, "Of course, haven't I told you about it?"
"Oh, I remember now, Benny. Wasn't he the one you hit until he fell into the river?"
Benny did not reply, only nodded.
"Hahaha, great," Benny's friends ranted. Anyone could see that they were clearly making fun of Albert, making him feel ashamed. Albert was indeed embarrassed, his face flushed red, seeing them making fun of him, but could not retaliate. Their comments were indeed correct, and would only make her even more embarrassed if she tried to explain.
Utilizing a variety of topics, Benny and his friends ridicule Albert in total.
"Come, Heri, today is your birthday, happy birthday!" Rina brandished the bottle of Stars and congratulated Heri. After downing a large amount of beer, Heri's face immediately reddened.
"Oh, you can't drink either, right," Benny hit Heri on the shoulder and smiled at her.
Seeing everyone laughing at Heri with a drink, Albert couldn't just sit there. Usually, Albert did not drink, but this time he took a glass of beer, heard a "glucose," sound and sipped a large glass of beer.
"Oh, look at Albert, he can drink," one of Benny's friends praised, laughing.
"Well, today we won't be home before we get drunk" everyone cheered.
Albert did drink a lot, but as he continued to drink, he suddenly started to feel uncomfortable. His entire body felt hot, as if it was about to explode. Suddenly he felt ashamed. How could this happen?
As much as he tried to control it, he couldn't. Albert's face was getting redder, more embarrassed. Suddenly, he stood up and walked over to the waiter, asking, "Excuse me, where's the restroom?"
The servant directed with his hand, "There."
"Oh, thank you."
With that said, Albert walked into the restroom and closed the door.
Inside, the sound of flowing water was heard. Under the cold jets of water, Albert felt a little better.
At the dining table.
"What are you doing?" Rina admonished him angrily, her face reddened.
"Hey, hey, pretty, don't get angry," Benny shamelessly said, getting closer to Rina.
That way, Benny got closer to Rina.
"Take his hand off."
A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind Benny. Benny flinched and turned his head, only to find Albert standing behind him, looking at him angrily.
"Oh, long time no see, Albert, you've become stronger" Benny said with a cynical smile.
As Benny speaks, his friends soon surround Albert, ready to molest him.
"Take him off" Albert shouted loudly once more.
Benny pretended not to hear, staying tightly holding onto Rina's hand. Albert suddenly walked towards Benny, and Benny's friends immediately blocked him.
"Keep away."
"We're not going to do it, what can you do?"
Dino smiled cynically.
With a loud "dukkk" voice, Albert suddenly gathered courage and gave a punch to Dino's nose, making him bleed straight away.
"Damn it, how dare you hit me!"
Dino shouted to the others, saying, "Why are you standing there? Get in a fight!"
"Son, if you keep causing trouble, I have to call the police" recalled the restaurant owner, who felt something was wrong. He immediately approached the incident while simultaneously grabbing his phone.
"Albert, if you dare, come out! We finish both," suddenly Benny releases Rina's hand, stands up, and with his evil smile coldly challenges Albert.
"You want to get out? All right, I'm not afraid of you" Albert showed no signs of fear.
Benny and his gang walk towards the exit, followed by Albert.
"Hey, Albert, don't go," Rina wanted to stop Albert, but she was gone.
"God, what should we do?" Rina's getting restless.
"Let's come along too. We'll try to persuade them" Heri stood up and proposed.
"But how can we persuade them if they don't listen to me?"
"Well, if you perform well, maybe Benny will listen to you."
"Go to hell!" Lina kicked Heri in frustration.
Lina who was worried for Albert's safety ended up reluctantly following Heri out.
