"I can't sleep at all!" Eunae cried flailing her legs which kicked off the duvet that was giving her a warm embrace.
"What am I supposed to do now?" She whined rolling over on the bed and burried her face on the silky pilllow. "I really hate this!!!" Her muffled voice complained again.
"Wait!" She spoke out to no human in particular, while her brain understood what her dad's words meant.

During the dinner time, earlier......
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
"The talk was going on for awhile now and today I finally bought them over." Mr Cha leaned back, relaxing his muscles.
"And one more thing, Eunae-yah!" He pointed at his daughter. "I don't know why you wanted to work. If it's for money, we have plenty." He sighed.
"No dad, I-" Eunae began her explanation as she didn't want her beloved dad to misunderstand her.
"Wait. Lemme finish. And if it's for your independency, I'm making you the CEO of Oracle!" He declared like an emperor.
"But Yobeo, how could our company possibly buy a company like Oracle?" Hwayoung frowned.
"I mean Companies like them are famous for years and have a strong foundation in Hanguk." Hwayoung's forehead wrinkles deepened evidently screaming out that she was very worried thinking of unlikely situations.
"Yeobo, here's the thing. There's a problem going around with the company actually. The founder and chairman of Orcale decided to sell it off before it bites off his hands." Mr Cha confessed the reality of Oracle.
"Heol! Are you out of your mind Cha Jaewoo-ssi?" Hwayoung scoffed harshly placing her chopsticks and spoon on the table, startling her husband and daughter.
"Why would you even buy a company that's going down hill?" Hwayoung sighed glaring at her husband while Eunae uttered no words and ate her dinner in silence, satisfying her rumbling tum.
"Yobeo! Don't you too think like a normal person out there in the street." Jaewoo sighed. "Then why don't you teach me how to think Mr Cha Jaewoo?" Hwayoung pinned the man in his place with her glare.
"Wait a minute mom!" Eunae finally spoke wiping her mouth with the table cloth that laid on her lap.
"Don't you dare come supporting your stupid dad, Eunae-yah!" Her mom retorted like an angry lioness and her dad rolled his eyes sighing.
"Eomma! Calm down. I just want to ask something to appa." Eunae raised her hands in surrender and her mom just nodded at her granting her permission.
"Appa, if the Oracle is going into financial crisis, won't it make a big news internationally? Atleast in South Korea? Or atleast in Seoul news?" Eunae leaned forward placing her elbows on the table.
"Why is there no such news going around? And it's the news of Oracle hiring employees that's spreading around?" Her eyebrows furrowed as she stared at her dad for an explanation.
"Finally! Atleast you got the point there! Eunae, my daughter, appa is proud of you!" Jaewoo cried in happiness, overjoyed that his daughter was smart like him.
"The answer!" Hwayoung insisted glaring at him, making him snap out from his proud father moment.
"Well, the thing is...." Mr Cha cleared his throat and adjusted his shirt sitting straight in his chair, as if he was gonna explain a project to a very important client.
"Actually, Oracle company is doing off good for now financially. But the chairman found that there was something wrong going on and it remained a mystery to him no matter what he did." Jaewoo stated sipping his glass of water.
"And so, he went around hiring new people to fix that. But no matter what he did, he kinda felt the investment to be not reciprocated. So he decided to shed off the company before things went out of control." Jaewoo explained the status of the Oracle company and it's future.
"And you come saying you want to make our daughter the CEO of that falling company?" Hwayoung scowled at him once again.
"Well, I want my daughter to survive a crisis and chaos. That's the only way she can stand strong in the future, when she takes over our company yeobo!" Jaewoo rather calmly answered.
"Plus, I bought Oracle even after knowing it's fall over in the future because a crisis can be avoided and managed. But the name of the establishment and the recognition among the public, that's hard to earn and Oracle has it all." Jaewoo looked at his wife with a proud smile when she had no objection to his stated point.
"So Eunae-yah! What's your say? Do you wanna go idling around as an elegant daughter of a businessman named Cha Jaewoo? Or you wanna become a brave girl called Eunae?" He shifted his eyes on his daughter.
"To simply put, do you want to called Eunae daughter of Cha Jaewoo or change it as Miss Cha Eunae and her father is Cha Jaewoo?" He calmly asked placing Eunae in a difficult situation.
"I- I will take up on the challenge dad." Eunae declared after her thorough thought of what she wanted. And more than the option her dad gave, her option stood out the most. The option of going to Seoul in South Korea, and finally meet her idol.
She was just ready to do anything to meet him. All she cared about was the destination, not the path.
But poor her. She wasn't aware that the path she chose now, will never really lead her to that destination as she wished and desired.
