I saw a woman, around Mother's age, linking her arms, to whom I assumed is her husband. Her face glowed when she saw Mother and I walking towards them. She excused herself from her husband, striding towards us.
"Honey, this is the friend that I told you during our last breakfast together. Cupcake's mother, Aunt Jinhee! Kim Jinhee." Mother introduced us.
"What? Cupcake's mother? You must be Haein's precious son! Your mother said nothing but praises about you. You are lovely! " Mother nodded, grinning from ear to ear.
"Nice to meet you, Aunt Jinhee!"
"Hoseok here, loves your daughter's cupcakes! In fact, he stole a few without my knowing the last time we had our breakfast together! I bet he's been longing to eat some, after two weeks abroad." Mother started, dragging the word love.
"Jinhee, is your daughter coming tonight?"
"I'm afraid not, Haein. She's been buzy with the business she's currently setting up. Barely stays at home. I've been nagging her to come home, at least to rest or get some proper food. But being stubborn she is- God knows from where she got her stubbornness from-, she skips dinner, sometimes only had a meal a day, from fast food restaurants, or some take outs!"
"Poor you, Jinhee. It must have been hard for you. Any plans to get her settled down?" Mother glared playfully and I groaned silently.
"Settle down? I wonder if the word 'marriage' is in her dictionary!"
That mischievous smile my Mother displayed on her face. I just wish the floor would cracked open and swallow me down to the earth's core! Deeply buried!
"How was your meeting? I heard your mom introduced you to someone. Heard it from your dad. How is she? Nice? Pretty?"
"Mature, but beautiful in her age. Seems to be around my mother's age. Want me to do the honour to introduce her to you?" I asked Namjoon calmly.
"What? You are into a lady, your mother's age?" A whole surprised look were displayed on his face.
The others laughed seeing Namjoon flustered.
"Of course not, you fool! I do wonder, why are you even a professor! I am a hundred percent sure, Hoseok has a better taste! Am I right?" Seokjin said while clinging his arm to my shoulders.
"True. Well, I haven't had the chance of meeting her yet. That was her mother. Apparently, she's too busy setting up her business abroad." I sighed.
As if there's a cue, all of them hummed in response.
"Wow. A smart girl, it seems!"
"I agree, Jimin. Maybe you can establish a joint venture with her company. Who knows?" Yoongi said, agreeing to Jimin.
"After all, who could predict the article that came out weeks ago might be true? Maybe you be the first among us to get hitched?" Taehyung mentioned.
"Nah- how could you guys be saying this? We should be enjoying life now, travel, business, spend money, together like old times! So, when's our next gateway? Finding girls? Like old times?" I asked, raising up my champagne glass.
"Yeah, like all times!" Yoongi continued clicking his glass together, followed by the others.
Life has been normal for the next few days. Work, meetings, business travel. Next thing I know, it's finally Friday! I was sitting in my office after a meeting with a business partner regarding a building he is selling, for me to expand my hotel venture.
I was sipping my coffee, turning on my phone, when a continuous 'ding' sound echoed instantly in the room indicating incoming messages. Knowing that the continuous tone, were from the brothers' text, I immediately open the texts.
Chef Kim
Hey, it's Friday. Drop by? As usual? Dinner?
Professor Kim
Time? 7-ish okay? I still have one class left.
Art Director Kim
Food? New Menu, Chef?
Designer Park
I'm in! When it comes, to food~
Chef Kim
Nope, not a new menu. Some old ones, sprinkles with extra love and care! Where are the others anyway? Food, yay or nay?
Photographer Jeon
Here! Just finished doing photo-shooting. I'll bring two bottles of wine, I bought from Italy!
Producer Min
Just woke up a short power nap. Yeah, I'll be coming!
Chef Kim
I guess, Hoseok be paying us today! Get ready, 100 dollars EACH AND EVERYONE OF US! So, don't forget, usual spot, at 7! I'll be serving Alfredo Fettu-Jinie!
Get it?
Clutching my stomach, I laughed. Nobody bothers to reply Chef Kim. I immediately replied him saying, I'll be arriving his restaurant around six. I took a look at the digital watch on my desk and called Mr Yoon, to drop my car to the main entrance. Grabbing my coat from the coat rack, I went down to the lobby after dismissing my secretary. I decided to drive my red Lamborghini Huracan Spyder to the restaurant after giving Mr Yoon the night as well as the weekend off. Well, who would want to work for the weekends anyway!
