Healing Love

Chapter 35

Since it has been a while they have not been in Seoul, Jung Hyuk and Jin Ah decided to spend the weekends there and take their baby to explore the city they once called home. On Saturday, they decided to go around Gangnam and Cheongdamdong. As Jin Ah said, it has been a long time she hadn't go there. The last time she recalled was two years ago. She kinda missing some Seoul shopping vibe.

They headed out to have their weekend brunch first in Cheongdam-dong. Jung Hyuk told her he wanted to take her to a special cafe to celebrate their Sa-Chil (April 7th) day. He even came out with a cute name for it, Sa-chil. Sa means four, and chil is seven. So it's 4 and 7; 04.07; April 7th. Jin Ah just followed his plans as weekends are the days both of them will have brunch outside. It has become their routine even back home in Busan. Every weekend, either Saturday or Sunday or both days sometimes, they will go out for brunch. This is the time they will try out cafes in the city. They will try their best to go to a different restaurant each time. It's like a gastronomic weekend activity for them.

For the past 8 years she lived in Seoul, Jin Ah hardly came to Cheongdam as this is a super high-end area where the rich and famous frequented. Usually, she will come down here to do some research for the latest fashion trend and get some inspiration from all the designer's boutiques over here. Especially for bridal and evening gowns as Cheongdam is the designers' mecca in Seoul. Other than this, she didn't come here as everything here is expensive. Even the coffee in Cheongdam is pricier than in the other areas. So, when her husband said he wanted to take her for brunch in Cheongdam, she is pretty excited as it will be her first time trying the cafe there.

Jin Ah was a bit clueless when Jung Hyuk parked his car in front of a unique white building that stands out amongst the other buildings as the facade looks like a flowy fabric. She knew what building it is as it's a famous building for Seoulites. It's the House of Dior. One of the unique architectural buildings in Seoul.

"Are we going to have our brunch here?" she asked her husband, and he nodded.

Jin Ah looked surprised, "At Dior Cafe?" Jung Hyuk nodded again while pressing the button to open the boot trunk. It's like a dream come true. Jin Ah always dreams to come here once with Hyo Jin when she's working.

Dior Cafe is a pricey artisan cafe. Although she never tried it, she knows the price range from the blog Hyo Jin shared.

"Come, let's go," Jung Hyuk said as he took his phone and wallet and get out of the car. Getting out of the vehicle as well, Jin Ah get Jae Wook from the car seat and put him inside the stroller where her husband had unfolded. She buckled her baby carefully and pushed the stroller towards the entrance while Jung Hyuk paid the valet.

They were greeted like VVIP. Two staffs wearing proper black and white suits open the door for them and greeted them properly. "Welcome to Dior House," they greeted them.

Another staff approached Jung Hyuk and begin to ask to assist them. "Can I help you, sir?" the lady asked. She's wearing a slightly different colour of suit; she probably the supervisor.

"Booking for Dior Cafe under Ri Jung Hyuk," he told the lady.

"Oh, Mr Ri. This way, Sir," she guided them to the elevator. She pressed the arrow up button for them. While waiting for the elevator, they saw her took out a device from her pocket and push something.

'Ding!'

The elevator opens, and the lady holds the door for Jung Hyuk and Jin Ah to let them get inside first. She entered the elevator last and pressed level 5 as she got inside. Once they reached the top floor, they were greeted by another lady with a different uniform but wearing the same design Dior nametag. She must be the server from the cafe. The two ladies exchanged some codes before the earlier lady who welcomed them downstairs closed the elevator door and went down.
