What does the Daughter of the Richest man in Asia do on A day off?
"Heh! Get up It's your day off!" Said Sang-Hee while bursting into my room.
"No," I replied with a sleepy voice.
"I will throw this cold water on you if you don't get up!"
"Why do you want me to get up so badly it's my day off I just want to sleep," I said as I got up putting my slippers on.
"Yesterday was so hard, having to deal with Sung-Ho by my side all day. Plus meeting the model who also seemed to be his Ex. Then meeting with the president to schedule the dinner for next week, then having to go to a photoshoot and much more after that." I said while choosing my close.
"Exactly! Such a depressing day calls for a day out with your Best friend!"Said Sang-Hee excitingly
"Plus we haven't gone to Starlux in 2 days!" She continued.
I let out a smile and said "First let me take a shower."
I got ready and we made our way to Starlux.
When we got there I told my security to loosen up and that they could have a drink too.
As I walked up to the counter I asked for the usual. I looked over the clerk's shoulder to see if I could see Minho but I didn't.
"By the way, Is Minho here today?" I asked the clerk. "No , we have not seen him ever since that Idol threw the coffee on him."
I bowed and said, "Ah, Thankyou." As I left to take a seat.
"He's not here today. He is always here unless he is sick or unless he quit." I said in concern.
"Calm down, He probably just left for a vacation." She said in reassurance that he was ok.
"You're probably right," I said while still being worrisome. Then as I was drinking my coffee Jisoo walked in.
"Hello, A-Yeong!" Said Jisoo in excitement, while giving me a smile that seemed more like an unfriendly smile.
"Hello, Jisoo what brings you here?" I asked in confusion. "Well, I take a walk every morning and.....I come to pass here It looked nice."She replied.
"Yes, I like going here every morning." I Said trying to be friendly.
"You speak Korean?" She said as of mocking me. "Just a little. I mean I am from Korea after all." I said trying to keep my cool.
"I'm surprised. Sung-Ho told me you had an accent last night but I don't hear it, at least in my opinion." She said as if trying to anger me while taking her CANNEL glasses off and putting them on the table.
"Nice...I'm sorry was I supposed to care?" I said while I let out a smile.
"No, I'm just giving you my opinion on your Korean. Who taught it to you? Was it...Oh, that old fool who got fired yesterday?"
At that moment I wasn't even paying attention to the fact that she even knew my childhood. She had said he was fired which did anger me, I felt a drowning pain and confusion since Minho didn't have a home. As God only knew where he was that day. All that was going through my mind was Minho and that I had to find him.
When I was a baby my parents moved to America right after my birth, So I grew up speaking English 10 years later I had come back to Korea to bury my mother and Minho sat with me every day teaching me Korean. So at the sound of hearing those words my heart sank.
'Woosh'
"Hey!"
'Clack'
Yelled Sang-Hee's while slamming her hand on the table then dropping and breaking the CANNEL glasses of Jisoo.
Both Jisoo and I jumped back. Then suddenly the whole café went silent.
"Do you wanna die? Listen here, and listen closely. In the next five seconds, I would have enough time to Jump on this table and kick your face. But for MY sake I will leave and avoid another lawsuit from a brat whose tongue was too sharp." Sang-Hee said with a smile on her face which made her look crazier than she already was.
Sang-Hee got off the booth and pulled me with her as my security followed. She flipped her hair and shoved Jisoo on our way out. The face on Jisoo's face was priceless.
"Are you ok, Yong-Yong?" Said Sang-Hee as we walked to the car. "Am I ok? Are you ok!? I haven't seen you act like that since 8th grade when Lee Know hit Kate." I said amazed. We chuckled a bit then my smile faded when I remembered Minho.
"Sang-Hee we need to find him." I said as I felt the warm tear running down my face. I wiped it and continued, "I'll call my security, so they can help find him." I grabbed my phone and started to call my security one by one to help look for Minho.
While I was calling everyone I accidentally called the wrong number, "𝐻𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑜?" I said into the phone waiting for my security Frederic to answer, "𝑌𝑒𝑠? 𝐼 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑦 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑤𝑤𝑟 𝑎 𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑠𝑜 𝑖𝑓 𝑖𝑡'𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑡, 𝑜𝑟 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒'𝑡 𝑏𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑘𝑖𝑑𝑛𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑑 𝐼 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑑𝑜𝑛𝑡 𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑎𝑦." I heard a familiar cold, deep voice answer, It was Sung-Ho.
"𝐼𝑡'𝑠 𝑚𝑒 𝐴-𝑌𝑒𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝐼-" I was explaining as I was interrupted. "𝐻𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑏𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑘𝑖𝑑𝑛𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑑?" Replied Sung-Ho. "𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡?𝑁𝑜!𝑏𝑢𝑡-" I said as I was interrupted again, "𝑂𝑘 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑏𝑦𝑒." He said through the phone but I yelled in time to hold him up from hanging up.
"𝑊𝐴𝐼𝑇!𝑀𝑖𝑛ℎ𝑜 𝑖𝑠 𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑎𝑓𝑒́ 𝑤𝑎𝑠 ℎ𝑖𝑠 ℎ𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑖𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑙𝑒𝑝𝑡. 𝐻𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑢𝑡 ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠𝑛𝑡 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑎 ℎ𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛𝑠 ℎ𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑚𝑎𝑦𝑏𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑡𝑠 𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑤. 𝐼'𝑚 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑑 𝑓𝑜𝑟 ℎ𝑖𝑚." I said as my voice cracked.
"𝐺𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑚𝑎𝑡ℎ 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝐼 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑜." Those were the last words I heard of him before he hang up.
We looked for him for about two hours before I got a call from Ms.Kim that some of the designs had gone wrong. "𝐶𝑎𝑛'𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑑 𝑜𝑛 𝐼'𝑚 𝑑𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡?" I said, but I heard a pause before she said, "𝑁𝑜, 𝑀𝑎'𝑎𝑚 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑓𝑎𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑠𝑎𝑖𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒 𝑓𝑖𝑔𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑤."
"𝐶𝑎𝑛𝑡 ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑜 𝑖𝑡 ℎ𝑖𝑚𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓?"I said in frustration.
"𝑁𝑜, 𝑚𝑎'𝑎𝑚 ℎ𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑎 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔"
"𝑂𝑘 𝐼 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑛 10 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑡𝑒𝑠." I said as I hung up.
I threw my phone in my bag then I rubbed my forehead as I said, "Where is he, where could he be! Why cant we find him?"
Sang-Hee looked over to me and said that it would be ok... It was hard to believe those words at that time.
I got to the headquarters at 6:30 pm I remember because that was the time I and Sang-Hee had agreed to go to the mall.
I had to fire a few people and then go over the designs again with other people. When I was done, I had gotten a call.
"𝐻𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑜?" I said as I walked to my car with my security.
"𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑤?" Said Sung-Ho through the other side of the phone. "𝐼 𝑑𝑜𝑛'𝑡 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑤." I said frustratingly
"𝐿𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑚𝑦 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑒 𝐼 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑎 𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑦𝑜𝑢." He said as if he was annoyed.
"𝐹𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝑏𝑢𝑡, 𝑖𝑡 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑡𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑎 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑒-" as I was about to finish he had hung up. I went home, took a shower, and put some comfterble clothes on before heading to his hotel.
When I got to his hotel, I knocked at his door. "Sung-Ho? It's me A-Yeong." I said as I heard the door open. "Come in." Sung-Hi said as he walked to his couch in the hotel.
"....So? What did you call me for?" I said while smiling. "Don't get faltered. I found that old man you were looking for." He said as he plopped himself on the couch.
"Who?-" I said in confusion before I continued, "WAIT! WHAT!? When!? Where?! ok where is he?!"
"He is actually in a hotel a few blocks away."He said calmly. "YOU PUT MINHO IN A HOTEL?!" I shouted. "Nope found him there, you will be quite surprised to know he has some money in his pockets." He said as he giggled.
"You had me for a second. That was not a funny joke. I'm leaving bye." I said in disbelieve, I grabbed my bags, and just as I was about to walk out he said, "I'll show you. I can take you there if you want."
"Are you serious?" I said as I turned around.
"Let's go." he said as he walked past me.
"Oh, also we will be walking there." He continued
"I have a driver outside let's take that." I said eagerly.
"Do you want people to know you're rich? You're basically screaming to the public 'Hey I'm rich pay attention to me!' so no tell the driver he can go home." He said sarcastically.
"O-okay." I said as we walked outside.
"Sung-Ho? Does this mean you were looking for him?" I said as I giggled, trying to make it sound like I was teasing him, when I was grateful.
"No. Don't flatter yourself, I have a friend in there and I was seeing them. But then I came across Minho." Said Sung-Ho in a serious tone.
"Shooore. What's this friend's name? Huh?" I said jokingly as we crossed the street
"Jisoo," He said.
While a smile appeared on his face and mine disappeared.
"O-oh. What is the hotel Minho is staying in?" I said with a serious face.
"The Hliton Hotel, actuall-" Before he could finish I cut him off
"Ok, Thank you I see it from here I can make it there myself." I said as I continued to walk.
"You sure, it's only-"
"Yes," I said as I walked away even further. I couldn't explain why I felt like that. It was weird but it also hurt.
When I made it to the hotel I asked around for Minho. I had finally found him!
"So when were you going to tell me you were rich!" I said while hugging him. "Well, my dear I never told you I was poor." He said with a smile.
"But you had said that you lived in the café and you didn't have a home," I said in confusion.
"I used to own the café and I lived in it, until I sold it."He said.
" But then why did you get fired?" I asked once again. "I didn't get fired I quit my dear." He said while pouring tea onto a cup.
After he explained everything he walked me home. Just as I was entering the house I got a call from Ms.Kim saying that I had an interview tomorrow.
As I entered the house I thought to myself, 'What a fun day off' as I giggled to myself.
