John and Hamlet arrived at the underground parking lot of Victoria Corporation on time.

John pulled out his phone.

He glanced at the time on his watch. It hadn't reached the required time yet.

Then he and Hamlet stood in front of the Toyota SUV.

John pulled the box of Arthur brand cigarettes out of his pocket.

He took out one and held it in his mouth.

He didn't forget to turn around and ask Hamlet.

"Do you smoke?"

He took out a cigarette from the pack and handed it to Hamlet.

As Hamlet received the cigarette that John delivered, he said, "I've been hanging out with them since I was young, so I learned to smoke for a bit."

John took out a lighter and lit his cigarette.

He handed the lighter to Hamlet, who was standing at the side.

After smoking more than half of the cigarette.

John glanced down at the time on his watch.

It was 9.45 PM, September 30, 2020.
