Mr. Park

20.

Hyejin and Jaeje were rushing to put on Hyejin's dress as the time for Mr. Park to pick her up kept getting closer.

"Don't worry you have time" Jaeje assured her as Hyejin finished packing her things into her purse.

"How do I look?" Hyejin asked, turning towards her Jaeje.

"You look fine, just go pack whatever type of meat they have and bring back home" Jaeje, the meat lover, dismissed her worries as Hyejin turned to look at herself in her mirror.

Then the door bell rang.

"Mmmmmmmmm" Hyejin said suddenly feeling faint.

"Go put on your shoes, I'll get the door" Jaeje told her friend as she rushed towards the door.

"Good evening Mr. Park" Jaeje greeted as she opened her door to see Jay standing there in all his glory.

"Jaeje, you don't look like you're coming along" Jay cocked an eyebrow as he took in her appearance.

"Last I checked, you only invite your secretary when you don't have or want a date" she said back as he nodded with an exasperated sigh.

"It was either I ask her or Soomi" he excused as Jaeje made a face at the mention of that girl, she most definitely knew her.

But that's a story for another time.

"And last I remembered, you were the date" Jay stated with a smug smile as Jaeje scoffed, rolling her eyes.

"Oh please, he'll show up with another girl and then say he had no choice since I refused" Jaeje excused as Jay gave a look that said 'Whatever you say'.

"I don't know, you're not the first person to refuse him like this, they always cave at some point" he told her.

"Yeah, after he treats them like they've managed to change him from his ways and is ready for an actual relationship, I've read the playboy handbook" she retorted as Jay raised his hands as a sign of surrendering.

"Where are my manners, come in" she quickly remembered they were still at the door as Jay stepped in, viewing their apartment.

"It's a lovely place" he commented as she replied back with a 'Thank you'.

"Good evening Mr. Park" Hyejin rushed into the room as Jay turned around at the sound off her voice.

"Good evening......" his voice drifted off as he eyed her dress, Hyejin just didn't know whether to stay still or not, thinking he was making sure her outfit was appropriate enough.

Bitch Jaeje was wiggling her eyebrows at her.

"Let's go" he broke the silence as he walked back towards the door.

Hyejin gave him the stink eye, but followed behind.

"Have fuuuun" Jaeje teased.

Whoever designed the building definitely knew what they were doing.

It was later decided that the opening would take place in the garden just outside the hotel and Hyejin wished Jaeje had come along, she had a thing for garden parties.

"Jayyyyy" the boss and secretary turned around to see Jake and Sunghoon walking towards them, sending teasing stares to Jay who just rolled his eyes and ignored them.

"Woah Hyejin look at you" Jake complimented as Hyejin did a little spin to show off the dress.

"I try" she acted like she wasn't panicking just yesterday.

"Where are your dates?" she asked, noticing they were alone.

"Unlike poor Jay here, we don't have mothers trying to get us hitched" Sunghoon said, ignoring Jay's murderous glare.

"Don't remind me" Jay told them, rubbing his forehead.

"And the rest?" she asked, tuning her head to try and find the other 4.

"Sunoo and Ni-Ki are by the chocolate fountain, Jungwon and Hyori are on their way and we have no clue where Heeseung Hyung is" Jake told her as they saw the two youngest walking towards them.

"Chocolate anyone?" Sunoo asked as he bit into his chocolate covered strawberry.

"Yess" they all cheered picking up a stick each.

"I'm hereeee" Hyori announced as her and Jungwon came towards them, hand in hand.

"Hello to you too" Jake said in English.

"Ooh chocolate" Jungwon said, taking one each for him and Hyori.

"Now where is Heeseung Hyung?" Jay asked, now wondering his friend was.

"He said that he had an important matter to take care of" Ni-Ki replied as he finished his snack.

"Would have tasted better with salt" he assessed as they gave him strange looks, but didn't ask for any further explanation.

"Welcome everyone!" a loud voice was heard as the group turned towards the stage.

"I'm Mr. Kang and I want to personally thank you all for taking the time to attend the opening of my newest hotel" he said as the crowed gave a round of applause.

"The cutting of the ribbon will take place as planned by 7, until then please enjoy yourselves,, once again thank you" he finished as the crowed gave one last applaud as he walked down the stage, deciding to converse with his guests.

"Lemme try Heeseung Hyung" Jake told everyone as he walked to a secluded corner to try and call Heeseung.

"Let's go take a sit, I have some things to discuss" Jay told Hyejin as they walked towards an empty seat, Hyejin brining out her phone to take down what Jay was saying.

"Oh and......thank you for coming with me, it at least got my mother off my back" Jay thanked her reluctantly.

"It's not the first time, I'm as used to your mothers problems as you are, if it keeps that girl away then I'll go wherever you want me to" Hyejin replied, but blushed a little as she finished off, wondering what just came out from here mouth.

"That seems like a deal" he said, enjoying the flustered look on her face.

"As you were saying......." Hyejin brought the topic back to the original discussion as Jay realized they had gone off track.

They spent about 10 minutes discussing the building project when they heard Ni-Ki's voice.

"Heeseung Hyung!" They both turned around to see Heeseung with-

"Jaeje?!"
