Don't be too cold, love // park sunghoon

chapter 1

I'm here again...

Stuck in this stupid room, with these stupid business proposals. I don't want to do this, I don't want to continue my dad's company.

I'm forced, again, as always. You feel me right? Those kids who have strict parents?

"Mrs.kim?" My assistant came in, I don't even need her.

"What do you want?" I said, not even looking at her, I kept my eyes on these documents.

"Your father has a meeting with the SUNLIFE's chairman later, he's asking if you could attend instead." She informed me.

I gripped on the handle of my chair, shutting my eyes close.

I heard my assistant flinch, even though I don't need her and despise her, I don't want to scare her to the point she wants to resign. I'm not as heartless..., not as heartless as my father.

He forces me to do everything, to "inherit" the company he says, my life sucks because of him. I'm just 19, I want to got to college with a normal life. I don't want to go to college and get out of class earlier than others so that I could finish contracts and make things happen in the company. I also want to make college friends and go out with them, but instead I'm stuck here, I can't do anything.

I opened my eyes and saw her fidgeting with her fingers, she's that scared and nervous around me.

"Tell him I'll go," I told her, I can never say no to him.

I don't have choice, I was raised as an obedient daughter, I was raised to follow his orders like a dog. I feel like he's strangling me, and I feel like I'm going to give up.

She bowed and left the room, I laid back in my swivel chair, I'm stuck like this.

Sunghoon pov

I walked in the corridors of our school, nothing new, just the same.

"Sunghoon," I heard my hyung call out. "Wait up!" He said catching up to me.

"What's up hyung?" I looked at jay hyung who put his hand on my shoulder.

"Come on, you free after school?" Jay hyung asked me.

"I'm going to my dad's meeting for him today, I'll have to pass." I took his hand off my shoulder.

"You're no fun hoon." Jay rolled his eyes, "just when I'm available."

"Well yesterday I asked you to hang out, and you weren't available." Sunghoon chuckled, jay just patted his back and walked away.

I went back to walking out of our university, I got in my car and made my way there. While I was driving there I opened my phone, I saw her picture on my wallpaper.

I smiled remembering her, remembering our memories.

I contacted my father's assistant, since I don't really have one, I don't need one. I can make it alone.

Ring ring

"Hello? Mr. Park?" My father's assistants voice echoed in the car.

"Mr. Sang," I said while taking a left. "Can you please inform me who I'll be meeting with and what we will talk about?" I asked him politely.

"Good late afternoon Mr.park," he greeted me. "you'll be meeting the L.U.C.I, a clothing and make up line, run by Mr. Kim Charles. Nothing suspicious with an old man running a woman's well being-" I cut him off by laughing at his statement. "You won't be meeting Mr. Charles though," he said, I heard him typing something. "you'll be meeting his daughter, a 19 year old, you're in the same year." He informed me.

I frowned knowing It was a girl.

' she's my age, huh? '

Get yourself together sunghoon, she's not jiah, don't show any interest.

"What's her name?"

-----------------

Her pov

I walked into the meeting room, my assistant followed behind me as usual.

"Tell me why we're going to meet with SUNLIFE's chairman?" I asked her as we walked into the elevator.

"Well," she started, she pushed the eleventh floor, going down to the meeting room. "He is going to invite you formally to a party, hosted by the chairman."

"Well then, it'll be quick then." I sighed

' shouldn't dad be the one to attend this meeting? He's the one who's going to be invited.. '

We walked out of the elevator, walking through the corridor, I walked by the sales manager and other staffs of the company.

I despise every single one of them, all of them are associated with my father, with that human manipulating ass.

"This way Mrs. Kim." My assistant said showing me the room.

"Don't teach me assistant nam," I shot her a single glare and walked into the room, opening the door.

She bowed apologetic, I sighed and looked around the room to see a young man.

This is the CEO of SUNLIFE?

"Good afternoon, Mr. Sun woo." I said looking at the man.

I expected him to be in his mid 30s, he looks younger than expected, surprisingly handsome.

Oh shut up, all men are dogs, once they get to you they'll grip you like a dog.

"Mr. Sun woo?" He said confused. "Isn't that the CEO of SUNLIFE industries?" He said with a light chuckle.

"What do you mean?" I said tilting my head lightly.

"My name is park sunghoon, from kandil park industries. The son of CEO sanghon." He introduced himself.

I looked at my assistant, her eyes open wide.

She messed up, again.

I let out an annoyed sigh, keep it professional sweety.

This is a part of living.

"I'm so sorry mr.park," I bowed lightly. "My assistant must have made a mistake with the names."

"No it's ok, I understand." He said with a small nod

"Please have a seat." I gestured to the chair, "I'm sorry my father didn't attend the meeting, I can see your father didn't too." I started the conversation.

"Yes, I can see that." He said with a light chuckle.

I took of my facemask, after putting on a hand sanitizer. I pulled my hair away from face, tucking it behind my ear.

"So Mr. Park, what is it we're going to talk about." I looked at him.

He looked at me with wide open eyes, he looked so surprised and astonished. I tilted my head lightly, why is he looking at me like that.

"Mr. Park-"

"J-jiah?" He stuttered out

I looked a him with a frown, is he hallucinating of some sort?

His eyes were just on me, he looked at me with disbelief.

"Jiah?" He said once again with a frown.

"I'm sorry Mr. Park, I'm not jiah." I said shaking my head, he must have confused me with someone he knows.

"My name is kim choon hee, not jiah."
