Kapitel 31: The Familiar Taste..
"I have sent you the draft of the contract. Did you get it?"
Jin, talking on his phone with his foreign client, gets up from the chair.
He continues, walking towards the window " If you have any problem or confusion, contact my chief secretary. He will get you additional detail-"
Jin frowned at the sight in front of him.
"Hello? Mr Kim?" The other side spoke up, hearing the sudden cut off amid the conversation.
Letting out a quiet sigh, Jin responds in English "I am sorry, but I will have to call you later." He hangs up the phone.
Rubbing his glabella, he mutters "I told her only to put on some rides but she brought the whole amusement park in the yard."
He was about to walk away when his eyes caught sight of something making him flinch. 'What is she doing here?'
***
"Woahhh, Is this even real? Aunty, Did you prepare this for Big Boss? Does he like parks and rides?" Your curious and astonished gaze wandered around the whole yard filled with big rides and pretty decorations filled with lights.
Madam Kim was delighted looking at your ecstatic reaction.
She replies with a smile "He loved going to amusement parks when he was small. He would squeal in excitement every time he went for a ride. So, I thought it would be great if he refreshes his childhood memories a bit."
"It's really an astounding and unforgettable party." You look at the massive Ferris wheel as you utter.
'I will break the teeth of whoever says money doesn't buy happiness. Rich people sure are on another level. She brought the whole park into her yard just to make him happy. I envy you, my dear, boss.'
"But, Aunty, Are the guests really going to play here?"
'It feels weird thinking grown-ups in suits playing the merry go round. Hehehe, I can't even imagine Big Boss playing the rides with his stern straight face.'
"Haha.." You chuckle at your own thoughts. Realizing you laughed out loud in front of them, you feel awkward but stay silent after.
"Jin also thought it was a terrible idea but the guests are bringing their kids with them. Most of the time, the guests, especially the mothers, can't enjoy the party while handling the kids. So, I wanted to do something different from just drinking and eating. I want everyone to enjoy and remember my son's birthday party."
Madam Kim explained her intention behind putting so much effort into making a huge park behind the mansion.
As you hear her words, you feel respect for her growing in your heart. And you feel like an idiot for asking such an obvious question.
You walk towards her and grab her hand before speaking "Aunty, Even though I won't be here but I can tell this party is going to be remarkable and the best birthday party ever. Hearing everyone say how much effort you make for your boss's birthday every year, shows how much you adore him. He is the luckiest one to have you as a mother. To be honest, I envy him, hahaha."
Putting another hand on top of the joined hands, Madam Kim replies with a chuckle "I know we only met not too long ago, I already consider you as my daughter. So, Don't act like a stranger when we meet, okay?"
You nod your head, not wanting to break her heart when she seemed so happy. Just when you were about to speak again, you felt chills out of nowhere.
Raising your head, you look at one of the windows but there was no one 'Why did it feel like someone was staring at me?'
"Y/N, Why don't you play some rides before you head home?" Madam Kim suggests.
Shaking your head, you deny " I don't think I would be able to. I like to see it but feel sick every time I go for rides. I am sorry, but I have to take my leave. And, Thank you for the dress."
"Let the driver drop you off then."
"Thank you, Please take care.."
*Thump Thump*
'Did she see me?' Jin peeked a little from the wall.
'Wait, Why am I hiding in my own house when she is an outsider?'
Jin hastily came out from the wall and looked outside. No one was there besides the workers.
"Did she go already? Why was she even here?"
Jin kept looking here and there in the park.
"What are you looking at?" Secretary Lee came out of nowhere and whispered in his ears.
"Ahh! You scared me!!" Jin backed away with his hand on his chest feeling his racing heart.
"I have never seen you so flustered. Why? Were you looking at something inappropriate-"
*Ahem*
Clearing his throat loudly, Jin sat back on his chair. He regained his composure quickly and shouted "How many times shall I tell you to knock before you enter!"
"I did it though. You didn't respond so I entered." Lee Hyun answered, still looking outside, curious to know what was there to make the stern cold CEO flustered as though he was caught.
"I didn't hear you. You better knock hard next time. And why are you here?" Jin asked.
Lee Hyun: "Oh that. Madam Kim asked me to help you change since it's nearly time for the party."
"I will after I finish studying this file-"
Jin stopped and stared at Lee Hyun still gawking outside squinting his eyes. 'Shall I bring binoculars? I feel like I can't sleep today if I can't find the reason. Why do I feel cold suddenly?' Lee Hyun thought as he got shivers.
"Secretary Lee.."
Hearing the chilling voice, he froze. Slowly turning around, He saw Jin giving him a death glare.
"I will inform Madam Kim right away, that you are ready for the party. So, please change into the suit in the dressing room and attend the party. Thank you." He bowed and left the room before Jin could say anything.
Supporting his head with his hands, Jin sighed "This is driving me crazy."
***
"*Sigh* It was a really long day. I am exhausted." You lie down in bed as soon as you enter your room.
"I want to sleep already. No, No... Y/N, get up and change. You can't sleep in your work outfit." You force yourself to get up.
Your eyes land on the mirror nearby. Scratching your head, You mumble " I forgot I am wearing a different outfit. So much happened today. Guess I will never forget my *Yawn* first day. I hope everybody is enjoying the party as Aunty wished and I hope he likes it."
Remembering all the stuff you did back in the mansion, You feel embarrassed. "Ugh, Go already." You dash to the washroom.
On the other side:
"Thank you everyone for taking out your time to come and celebrate my son's birthday with us. I have prepared special events and delish cuisines for all of you. I hope you all enjoy the party."
Madam Kim gave her speech as everyone applauded.
"Madam Kim."
"Oh, Yoona. I was about to search for you. Thank you so much for recommending the designer. Guests keep complimenting how good it looks on Jin." Madam Kim speaks with a wide smile.
Yoona: "N-No, It was something I wanted to do for you and Boss. And It was You who chose it. So, All the credits go to you."
Madam Kim's eyes sparkle as she slightly nods her head " Well, I do get some credit for taking Y/N with me. She selected the outfit after a lot of consideration. If you see her tomorrow, Please thank her for me. I owe that little girl a lot."
Hearing that, Yoona just flashed an awkward smile and nodded her head.
"Jin-ah, You must be hungry. Go to the living room, I will send someone to bring the dinner for you and I will handle things here, Don't worry."
"Mom, It's okay, I will get it myself a bit later," Jin replies.
"I said go. You have been busily working all day and handling these must be exhausting. Go and fill your appetite first. Trust your mom. I was careless and didn't know how to manage functions like this before but now, Let me be Mrs Kim, Director of Kim Enterprises."
She said, giving him thumbs up.
Seeing that, Jin couldn't help but chuckle. Patting her head, he said, " Don't strain yourself too much, Mrs Director."
Yoona who was standing beside them was stunned looking at the cold CEO's warm side that she has never seen before. She always thought even though he had looks, he had no heart. But Guess what? His heart was actually living in his mansion.
After asking Secretary Lee to help his mom, Jin left the premises.
*Sigh*
Heaving a sigh, Jin sat down on the sofa. Loosening his tie, he looked at the soft tofu stew, Seaweed soup, kimchi, lots of side dishes and a bowl of rice in front of him.
"Take the rice away, I don't have a big appetite," Jin commanded. Soon someone came and took the bowl away.
*Slurp* *Bite*
He flinched. 'This..' The familiar taste spread through his mouth.
"Nevermind, Bring it back."
That night he ate three bowls of rice…
