Back to present
"Eomma, appa, you are both idiots."
Seri lightly hit the side of his first-born's head, "We weren't informed of the whole engagement thing, okay? It is not our fault that our parents made it a secret."
The Ri patriarch was watching lovingly at the mother and son banter happening in front of him when an idea struck him.
"Jin woo-ya, you should do your proposal at the presidential suite as well."
"Why appa?"
Jeong Hyeok glanced at his wife who was already staring at him and it took not even a second for Seri to realize what he was talking about. At the age of 55, Seri can't help but be amazed at how her husband can still make her blush furiously. Jeong Hyeok smirked as he saw his wife's flushed cheeks.
"The walls are pretty soundproof and the bed is sturdy."
"Appa!"
"What? I am just saying that it has pretty good features."
The matriarch joined in by saying, "The Swiss lodge is pretty amazing as well. You are far from neighbors" before winking at the father and son.
"Hyaaa Eomma!"
Jin Woo could not help but wish that the Earth should swallow him right now. His remark elicited laughter from his parents which echoed in the living room.
When Jeong Hyeok and Seri finally stopped laughing, the latter run her thumb across her son's cheek before she began speaking.
"Mihane, darling. Eomma and Appa just want grandchildren, Jin Woo so you should do your best and give us grandchildren fast."
The next few minutes were spent by the family having conversations about the proposal plans and business plans. When Jin Woo bid goodbye, his mother insisted that he should stay for lunch. Living away from his parents made him miss his mother and father's cooking so much that he indulged in Seri's requests.
The kitchen was filled with a wide assortment of food that Jin Woo willingly admits is better than the food in other high-end restaurants.
He is lucky to have such great parents and is always amazed at how his parents have managed to keep their relationship thriving despite the demands of their profession and amidst public scrutiny. He is thankful to have witnessed a beautifully crafted story. He hopes that his relationship with Chae Yoon would further grow into something as spectacular as his parents' relationship.
