Kapitel 44: The Truth
Han Sofia POV,
Busan, late September,
"Oh... gosh!", I sighed, gripping the sheets tightly in front of me
While Yoongi hugged me from behind while continuing to move his hips slowly. His warm breath roared in my ear, sending a vortex of warmth slowly descending to fill my stomach.
"Yeobo, please ....", I bit my lip holding back the overflow of pleasure that came rushing in
He pulled himself out and quickly turned me around to face him.
"You're so beautiful, Sobi", he mumbled while putting one of my legs on his shoulder
It didn't take long for him to reenter me, pumping with more vigor. My moans sounded loud and filled every corner of our room.
"Yeobo ... ah ... I ... I ...", I said incoherently, swept away by the pleasure that was continuously given by him
"You like it?", he whispered in between kisses
"Mmmhh… yeah…", I sighed
"Look at me, Sobi... look at me", he pleaded
I opened my eyes, holding on tightly to his shoulders. Yoongi's face is stiff and his eyes are filled with lust.
He gritted his jaw and quickened his movement. His hands were busy exploring my body, sending hot stings in every part he had just touched.
I couldn't hold it in anymore, a circle of happiness began to fill my body, getting bigger and bigger and ready to explode at any moment.
"Oh God, yeobo... I...", I screamed
"Say my name, Sobi ... say my name!", he ordered with a grin
Sweat soaked his body while he moved faster. He almost reached the climax.
"Yoongi! Oh my God... Yoongi!!", I screamed, I closed my eyes as a storm of pleasure exploded and spread throughout the smallest part of me
Yoongi moved once more and thrust himself deep. Moans and sighs escaped his mouth as he jerked his head back.
I felt his whole body tremble, as the same storm of pleasure flooded over him. And he slowly fell to the side with a gasping breath.
"Gosh...", I muttered happily almost out of breath
When the intoxicating sensation had subsided, and our breaths had returned to normal, I tilted my head and looked into his eyes.
"I love you..." I said softly
Yoongi didn't say anything, he just chuckled and pulled me into his arms. I know, he never said that word to me again —well except when we were at Daegu Hospital at that time— he would just smile or chuckle every time I said those words. But I know that he also loves me through the look in his eyes and the way he treats me.
"Agashi, sorry to disturb. I just wanted to remind you that you will leave at 10 am. Madam Han will be waiting for you downstairs", said a maid after several times she knocked on our door
Yoongi and I looked at each other with faces half surprised, half-amused, wondering how long the maidservant had been standing in front of our room.
"Ye, kamsahamnida", I answered loudly, holding back a smile, without moving an inch from Yoongi's arms
"10 o'clock? Only 10 minutes left. I think you should hurry up, Sobi. You'll be fine without me right?", Yoongi asked looking at his watch
"Yeah, don't worry. I just need to witness my grandma sign her will. I think I'll be back here before lunch", I replied while playing my fingers on his chest
"Okay... I hope everything goes well", Yoongi said kissing my lips
"Yeah, I hope so. By the way, what time is your meeting today?", I said, breaking free from his embrace and getting out of bed
"Soon, I guess...", he answered nonchalantly, his eyes busy looking over my body
Before he changed his mind, I immediately went to the bathroom to clean myself and get ready to leave.
It's been 2 days since I and Yoongi are in Busan. On the day after my final presentation, my grandmother immediately asked me to visit her in Busan.
And today is the day my grandmother will sign the will before me as heir, her lawyer, and another witness. I don't feel anything to be honest, because I feel like this isn't going to change my life soon.
"Yeobo, I...", my words stopped when I saw Yoongi put his index finger on his lips
He was dressed and was sitting at the table in front of the window. The laptop in front of him turned on and I heard that someone is doing a presentation.
"Arasso, I'm leaving, bye", I whispered while waving at him
He smiled a little, nodded his head, and waved at me. Well, Yoongi is currently having a zoom meeting with management and other members to discuss their activities in October so he can't accompany me.
"Are you ready?", asked my grandmother when she saw me walking down the stairs while tidying my clothes
"Ye, halmoeni. Sorry to keep you waiting", I said smiling while walking towards her
"Ani, I'm just ready too. Will Yoongi be okay at home?", asked my grandmother holding out her hand to me
"Yes. The meeting has started earlier. I think he will be busy all day. Gwaenchana, halmoeni", I replied
Then we entered the car that Uncle Lee had provided.
"Sofia, gomawoyo... I didn't think this day would come", said my grandmother with teary eyes
"Ye", I said gently squeezing her hand
And then my grandmother told me about the organizational structure of her company. My grandmother's company has a hotel chain that is spread almost all over the city of Busan. she has four 5star hotels, ten 4star hotels, and eight 3star hotels. Late last year, my grandmother also started building several luxury hotels in several big cities in Korea, one of which is in Seoul. That's why she often visits Seoul.
My grandmother also has subsidiaries engaged in food & beverage service, advertising, and property. One of them even manages 3 fine dining restaurants, several bars, and also banquets for weddings and parties.
"After I signed the letter, I want you to meet with the board of directors, just for a moment, it doesn't take long. I just want to introduce you to them. That's all ...", said my grandma
"Ye, halmoeni", I replied smiling at her
Then we finally arrived at a skyscraper opposite a well-known five-star hotel belonging to my grandmother in the Haeundae-gu area, an area located on the coast of Busan. There are dozens of skyscrapers in this area, they are office buildings, hotels, apartments, shopping centers, etc.
I was amazed when I got out of the car and looked at the skyscrapers in front of me. I know that my grandmother is one of the Chaebol (conglomerates/rich people) in Busan. But I was still surprised to see the office building and one of her hotels in person.
"Come on, Sofia", my grandmother said
We walked side by side to the entrance and lobby, then up to the 10th floor where my grandmother's office was. Along the way to my grandmother's office, we stopped several times when we passed employees who greeted us. Well, it seems that rumors about me have been circulating widely here because some of them recognized me as Han Sanhee's granddaughter.
Frankly, I feel a little uncomfortable when several pairs of eyes keep watching me while I'm in this office.
"Come in, this is my office. Well, maybe soon this will be your office, Sofia," my grandma said ushering me in
My grandmother's office was in the corner, a big square room with large glass windows covering two walls. Views of the sea and buildings are visible from here. There is a large work desk with its back to another window. And a Persian rug with a unique pattern under it.
On one wall is a large shelf filled with books, some photographs, and the various awards the company has earned. In the middle of the room, there are two rows of elegant sofas facing each other, and a long coffee table in the middle of the sofas.
Several mockups of my grandmother's hotel building are also neatly arranged on the other side. The floor of this room is made of ivory-white marble which gives the impression of luxury and elegance.
"Whoah daebak!", I said, gaping around the room
Yes, this is the first time I have come to visit my grandmother's office. Previously I only spent my time at my grandmother's house or her beach house when my mother and I visited her in Busan. We never want to interfere with her work. My mother even refused when my grandmother asked us to visit her at the office or stay at one of her hotels. She didn't want us to attract the attention of my grandmother's employees.
"Madam, I will wait for lawyer Kang in the lobby", Uncle Lee said to my grandmother
"Yes", answered my grandmother briefly
After Uncle Lee left the two of us, I approached my grandma who was putting her bag on her desk.
"Halmoeni, umm … can I take a look at your office?", I asked quietly
"Sure. I'll check my email while you look around", my grandmother replied with a warm smile
"Kamsahamnida, halmoeni", I answered cheerfully
Then I walked slowly looking at the sea view from the large window on my right, observing the mockups of the hotel building and reading one by one the awards neatly arranged on the wall to my left.
I smiled when I saw one by one the photos arranged next to the awards rack. The happy faces of the employees turned to look at me from the golden framed photo.
"Family outing in 2000, ... family outing in 2015 ...", I mumbled reading the information written on the photos of company activities
A photo at the very bottom caught my attention. The 6 people in this photo are smiling while waving their hands. I recognized 4 of them, while I didn't recognize the other 2.
My grandma and grandpa are standing hand in hand and waving to the camera, then beside them is my father who is smiling wildly showing his white teeth while embracing a beautiful young woman with long black hair next to him.
I didn't recognize her, the girl smiled shyly while raising one hand towards the camera. And besides the girl was Uncle Lee and a beautiful woman with short black hair who was the same age as him. The caption under the photo was "Family outing 1993".
I frown, I've never seen these 2 women, and I don't think they're one of my aunts.
"Halmoeni, may I ask a question? Who is this girl?", I asked while bringing a gold-framed photo to my grandmother
"Huh? Who?", asked my grandmother, taking her eyes off the computer screen and looking at me
"This, who is this girl?", I asked showing the photo to her
"Ah, I haven't seen this photo in a long time. She is so beautiful just like her mother ...", she muttered looking at the photo in her hand
I didn't say anything, I just looked at her face which suddenly turned sad. Grandma then sighed and looked at me lovingly.
"Come here...", she said as she stood up and invited me to sit on the sofa in the middle of the room
"She is Lee Mina, the only daughter of Lee Chunhee and Kim Eunhyi. She is your father's best friend since childhood. Ani, she is like a sister to your father, they grew up together in our house. They used to live with us, so Mina and Soojin always spend time together until they grow up", my grandma said while her fingers caressed the photo
"Huh?", I mumbled surprised
I bit my lip, busy thinking about what Grandma just said. Is it possible that the man uncle Lee is referring to is my father??
"But it's really unfortunate, she... she committed suicide when she was your age. I don't know what caused it. She's a good, beautiful, and smart girl. She even went to the same university as Soojin. What a tragic incident.. ", Grandma continued with a slightly trembling voice
"Jinjja??", I asked with my mouth agape
"Ye... Eunhyi is very devastated, she always blames herself for what happened to her daughter. They are indeed very busy helping us take care of the company, at that time we were actively developing our company. But there is something to be paid for from that ... I think Mina is lonely, her parents are busy, and it seems she is having a hard time at her college. Meanwhile, Soojin just got out of the house and went somewhere. What a poor little girl ...", said Grandma wipes her tears
"Did ... did she like dad?", I asked doubtfully
"Huh? Like your father? Mina?? ... Uh, I don't know ... She is indeed close to Soojin but I doubt she likes him. They are like brother and sister", replied grandma while laughing awkwardly
"Then what about Uncle Lee's wife, Grandma?", I asked again
"Ah, Eunhyi... she died three months after Mina's suicide. I think she went through a lot of sadness. She became sickly and weak. We even had to hire a nurse for her because she was having a hard time doing daily activities. Oh, poor Lee ... he had to lose his family in a very short time ...", said my grandma wiping her tears
Oh my God, I just found out about this. It's unfortunate, why do good people seem to have to go through this? He hides all the sadness behind his tough and strong appearance.
And what if it's my father who was the reason Mina committed suicide? I thought anxiously.
* knock knock
"Madam, Kang Wonjae nim has arrived", Uncle Lee's voice came from behind the door
My grandmother quickly wiped her tears and walked over to her desk. I'll have to ask Uncle Lee about this later, I thought.
"Yeah, come on in," said Grandma as she put the photo she was holding onto the table
"Annyeong Madam Han, annyeong Han Sofia ssi", said the lawyer
"Annyeong", I greeted while bowing to him
"Annyeong, sorry to bother you Wonjae ssi", my grandmother said after asking us all to sit on the sofa
"Ani, it's my job," he replied, smiling kindly at all of us. "I've rewritten and checked it many times. I hope this letter is exactly what you dictated to me, madam," continued lawyer Kang as he pulled out a black leather folder from his bag
"Thank you very much, Wonjae ssi", my grandmother said
"Are everyone here? Shall we start?", asked Kang's lawyer
"Ye. Sofia is here as my heir and Lee as my witness", Grandma replied while looking at us
"Arasso. Let's get started, ahem...", he said, he cleared his throat and started reading my grandmother's will

I entrust this will to my lawyer, Kang Wonjae. And witnessed by my assistant and best friend, Lee Chunhee.
Han San Hee"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I widened my eyes and tried to swallow my saliva with difficulty when I heard lawyer Kang read the will. I was really surprised to know the list of assets belonging to my grandmother. And I can't believe that grandma would give me all that wealth.
"Everything is very on point. I'm very happy to hear that, I always can count on you, Wonjae ssi", my grandmother praised, looking at lawyer Kang with teary eyes
"Kamsahamnida", he answered with a bow
"Uh, granny, sorry ... didn't you say that you will only make me as your heir to the company? Why did all ... uh, all your wealth also fall to me?", I stammered
"Sofia, with or without your approval to replace me in the company, I will still give all my wealth to you. Well, except for our shares, because my husband wants the shares to be distributed to the directors if we don't have an heir," answered my grandmother looking tired
"But...", I'm at a loss for words
"You are the only one I have, Sofia. I love you so much", my grandmother said while caressing my cheek
"Kamsahamnida, halmoeni", I answered slowly while lowering my face
"So, is there anything you want to add or change?", asked lawyer Kang
"Ani. All the points I want are already listed there. Where should I sign it?", asked grandma while taking the pen that the lawyer had prepared beforehand
"You can sign it here...then here...and here", said the lawyer while showing my grandma where to sign
"You should also stamp it with an opyo (Korean name stamp), madam", he added
"Okay", my grandmother replied while taking out her stamp from her bag
Then it was Uncle Lee's turn to sign and stamp the will as a witness.
"Okay, it's all set. I'll keep this will safe," said lawyer Kang while smiling warmly at us
"Kamsahamnida", we answered in unison
After that, my grandmother invited us all to attend a meeting attended by the Board of Directors of the Hanwa Group. Grandma introduced me as her granddaughter as well as her heir. She asked them to guide me and always support us in the years to come.
I was very nervous when I looked at the faces of the directors one by one, they looked very smart and confident. They vary in age, some are the same age as my father-in-law, but the youngest is in his mid-thirties. What made me very relieved was that they were very friendly and greeted me quite well.
I took a deep breath as I sat on the couch in my grandmother's office. That meeting made me tired. My body is very tense because I have to repeatedly bow to all the directors.
"Are you okay?", asked my grandmother while handing me a glass of cold drink
"Kamsahamnida. Ye, I'm fine, halmoeni", I replied as I accepted the glass
"Everything about the will and the company is done. Now it's time for me to invite you to have some fun in Busan", my grandmother said after taking a sip of her drink happily
"Halmoeni, may I rest today? I think I'm a little tired, I'm not used to this meeting," I said quietly
"Gosh, did the meeting weigh you down, dear?", asked Grandma a little surprised
"Ani. It's just that I'm a little overwhelmed with my feelings. It still feels unreal", I replied
"Arasso, I see what you mean, Sofia. Don't you want to have lunch here first?", asked my grandmother again
"Ani. I think I'll have lunch with Yoongi Oppa at home. Mianhae yo halmoeni", I said with a regretful face
"Ani, aniya. Gwaenchana. Yoongi must be very lonely at home now, huh. Arasso ... I'll ask Lee to take you home, okay?", said the grandmother smiling warmly
"Ye, halmoeni. Kamsahamnida", I answered smiling
"Lee, please take Sofia back home", my grandmother said while pressing one of the buttons on her phone
Soon Uncle Lee came and took me home.
"I leave now, Grandma, see you at home," I said, hugging and kissing her cheek
"Ye. Be careful", she replied, looking at the two of us
I walked side by side with Uncle Lee to the main lobby, where our car was waiting.
"I will be your driver, Sofia. Because Mr. Shin (my grandmother's driver) has to standby when Madam Han is at the office", he said as he opened the driver's side door for me
"Arasso. Kamsahamnida, uncle", I answered
Along the way, I stared blankly at the road in front of me. My mind is so full right now. Grandma's will, all the wealth that I would receive if my grandmother died, a new position that I might have to take in the next few years, my fashion brand, to my father and Lee Mina.
I gasped when the thought crossed my head. I turned my face towards Uncle Han and bit my lip.
"Uncle... can I ask you something?", I asked slowly
"Yeah, say it, Sofia", replied uncle Lee smiling warmly
"Is the man that uncle's daughter loves is my father?", I asked still looking at him
He didn't answer right away, his eyes blinked a few times and he struggled to hide his feelings in front of me.
"How did you know that?", he asked trying to be calm
"That's ... I, I saw your photo in Grandma's office earlier. My father was seen embracing a beautiful black-haired woman standing beside him. And ... and Grandma said that she was your daughter, my father's best friend since childhood," I replied stammered
He sighed and gripped the steering wheel tightly. Then suddenly he pulled over to the sidewalk, gritted his jaw, and stared at me with a look of agony.
"Yes, that man is your father. Mina is too naive to love him. For years she loved him, but your father never saw her as a woman. Your father was a selfish man who never thought about other people's feelings. Not only Mina's feelings but also the feelings of his parents!!", said uncle Lee hatefully
I was too shocked by the reaction he showed.
"But uncle ...", I mumbled softly, my body shaking and snuggled up to the car door
"Your father is a selfish little bastard! And your mother is a damn bitch!! You should know that!! Your family are the one who caused my daughter to suffer!", he growled with a red face
I'm so scared right now. I've never seen Uncle Lee lose control like this, he looks really scary.
I held my breath, my instincts told me to get away from him. I try to open the car door with trembling hands. But before I could open the door, there was a loud click. And he locked me in the car.
What should I do now, I thought frantically.
"Your father and mother have paid for their deeds to Mina. And you ... you must also pay for it ...", he said in a deep, threatening voice.
Then he took a small penknife out of his trouser pocket and put it around my neck...
