7 : Sweet Talk

Appa was very excited. He decided to throw a party to celebrate the partnership between Park Industries and Good For Life Enterprises.

The party was organised in the front garden of our mansion. It was big enough to have a minimum of 2000 people.

While everyone was busy with the preparations, I stood before the picture of my mother. She had a beautiful smile, although I didn't remember much. She was really beautiful and a well-mannered woman.

Her image in my memories was still blurry as she had passed away when I was four. Her smile, her laughter, her mischievous eyes, her way of caring for me and my brother, who was a newborn, the closed door, the rope to which she hanged herself, her last smile...

Suddenly my head started aching. These were all the things I remembered about her and honestly, I didn't even want to remember. Thinking about all of this, a lonely tear escaped from my eyes.

"Ayo Noona!" my brother shouted from downstairs," What are you doing? Aren't you the one responsible to choose today's menu?"

I wiped my tears, "I miss you Eomma!"

And I left the room.

****************

The party was in full swing. There were guests from Korea's biggest firms.

I stood at the entrance welcoming everyone. I was kinda uncomfortable in the little black dress I wore that night because I was just habitual of formal clothes. So, that dress was giving me continuous tension.

'Am I wearing safety shorts or not?' that thought suddenly struck my mind as my hand went to the end of the dress to pull it a bit down.

"Worried about your dress?" I heard a deep voice, deeper than the ocean. And I was sure who it was.

I lifted my head to see his handsome face.

He smiled at me, "Should I help?"

"Are you flirting with me, Mr Kim?" I raised my right eyebrow.

"No no don't take me wrong!" he chuckled.

"Enough joking, welcome to the party!" I exclaimed forwarded my hand.

"Oh, party party yeah!" he shook hands with me and took me to his family. I saw Appa standing there chatting with them.

After he saw me approaching, he spread his arm and pulled me.

"Meet her, she's my daughter and president of Park Industries, Park Y/N," he introduced me and I smiled.

"Y/N!" he turned to me, "Meet them. They are the Kims, one of the most respected families in South Korea!"

I bowed to them.

The retired president of Good For Life Enterprises was Mr Kim Won-Jae and now his son Kim Taehyung had taken his place. His mother was among the 12 chief judges in the Supreme Court of Korea but had retired. Guess that's why they are one of the most respected families in Korea.

His father was a funny man. He made jokes in each of the sentences he spoke. But Tae was a bit different. He seemed more serious, but he also cracked jokes sometimes.

"Ya Park Dae Won I heard you have a son also?" Mr Won-Jae asked Appa.

He nodded in a yes, and waved at my brother who was busy gulping liquor.

He immediately ran to where we all were standing and my father patted on his back, "Meet my son, Park Dae-Song," he bowed to them.

"And Dae-Songaah, they are the Kims, the most popular Chaebols of Korea!" Appa introduced them to him but my brother made a confused face.

"Oh yes I know them!" he was excited and Mrs Kim let out a smirk, "Of course everyone knows us, right?"

"I don't know you all in that way, actually I saw you guys on T.V. The news channel was showing that your older son ran away and-"
my father kicked him lightly on his feet.

"Ya Appa, what are you doing it's hurting!"

But my father eyed him to keep silent.

I was confused. The whole Kim family was disturbed by what my brother said a couple of seconds ago. How come I didn't know that Tae has an elder brother even after five years of experience in the business field?

"Don't mind him, he has mistaken you!" my father assured them but they walked away, disappointed. I followed Taehyung, leaving Appa scolding Dae-Song at the back.

"I'm sorry from my brother if he has hurt you!" I handed a drink to Taehyung.

"But is it true that you have an older brother?" I asked without even thinking twice. He gave me a death glare as an answer. I was frightened but then his face became soft.

"Ummm...yes...but he didn't run away. He's actually in New York and currently managing his own company, although we are not in touch with him anymore. I don't know from where your brother got the news" he answered, sipping the drink.

I smiled, "Oh I see!"

*********

The party was really good. Everyone was enjoying themselves. But for an introvert like me, I didn't enjoy being in a place full of people.

I excused myself from the party when it was almost over. I rode my car and drove to my happy place...

But I saw the staff pulling the shutter.

"Hey, are you closing the coffee shop?" I asked the worker.

"Yes mam, it's late!" he answered.

I became sad and turned back when I bumped into someone. I lifted my head and a really big smile came to my face.

"Oh! You are here?" Seokjin was also smiling.

"I just came here to have some coffee!" I answered with a wide smile.

"But why are you wearing party clothes?" he scanned me from top to bottom, and that's when I started pulling my dress down.

"There was a party today. I just came from there," I answered nervously.

"So I'm guessing that beverages are not included in the party menu?" he smiled.

Oh no, I was being so dumb.

"Anyways, since your shop is closed I'm going home," I tried to excuse myself from him.

But, he placed his arm before me.

"I know a coffee shop which is opened the whole night. Want to go there?"

I looked at the ground, "I...don't want to bother you!" but that's exactly what I wanted.

"Let's go, Buddy. I'm unbothered king you know?"

I laughed.

We went to a coffee shop that was a few minutes away from the one I used to go to.

"If my boss knows that I took his customer to some other coffee shop, he will surely kill me," he joked as we made ourselves comfortable on a table.

"Don't worry! I'll still choose yours. I love that place!" I smiled.

As we sipped our coffees, I looked at him and asked, "What...do...you...think...about my...look...today?" I didn't even know that I was stuttering.

"I was shocked seeing you. You don't look good..."

I was disappointed.

"...But outstanding" he smiled.
