Planting the Seed

Kyun POV

"I asked Yong to drive you", I was heading down stairs as I chuckled when I heard my Dad speak.

"Well, good morning to you too, Dad!" he was busy checking his mails when he paused to look in my direction as soon as he heard me.

He tapped my shoulder as we both head to the dining room, where we found my mom laying food on the table. Sure we got an army of help at home but my parents especially my mom are still lowkey hands on with some stuff.

"You just came the other night and you're leaving us again." she complained as she started to put food on my plate.

"We are going out tonight, we all agreed to have some fun before the rest goes to Campania" I replied as I forked a piece of sausage and put it straight to my mouth.

"Darling..I forgot the hot milk, please bring it here.." my mom instructed one of our staff. The kitchen and the dinning area is her territory, she cooks and prep the table for us with no excuses, this is the only time she feels normal and she enjoys it as she said.

She thanked our staff who got the milk and resumed attention to what I said.

"Ahh, Italy..you said the rest? Why aren't you going? It's the perfect chance to rest" she asked before sipping her coffee, I smiled and gave her that don't ask me ask your husband look, to which my Dad immediately notice.

"He volunteered like a good son right?" he said and we both laughed.

"Volunteered for what?" my mom curiously asked again.

"Well, business training, I did not force him to do it, don't give me that look" He was smiling as he convinced my mom that he did not plot any kind of evil plan to get me into business training.

"Well, business training is good, but give him at least a week to distress from his job" My mom again scolded him.

"No, seriously Mom it was me, I don't wanna go to Italy, I wanna take my break here" I am almost done with my breakfast and cued our staff to take my plate and get me a coffee.

"It's up to you, where are you going tonight then?" she continued.

"Uhm, at Sheikh's" I answered casually.

My Dad throw me that look, understanding what's the agenda we'll have tonight.

"I see Sheikh's, should I send the boys with you?" he asked.

"Should I be worried about this fun night?"my mom seconded.

"Guys guys, chill, it's just a regular night out, Won's boys will be there no need for an army to baby sit us." I chuckled.

"Alright, alright take Yong with you at least." my Dad still trying to insist.

"No Dad, we okay." I finished my coffee, stood up from the table and gave them both a peck before I head out.

"I'll be home again" As I waved them bye and head out the door.

Our security opened the door for me as I nodded with their greetings.

I opened my white Maserati MC20 and got in. Just when I was about to start my engine I saw Yong running towards me, so I pulled my window down.

"Sup, Yong." I fist bumped him as he nodded a greeting.

"Sir, Boss said you're going to Sheikh's tonight?" yeah as expected my Dad will insist.

"Ah yeah, but I'm good, you don't have to be there Won's boys will be around" I gave him a wink and started to move, he gave me a salute to acknowledge what I said.

I can take care of myself, they know that. I am not an ammunition heir for nothing. 

I glanced at my current favorite toy, it's the John Wick 9mm STI 2011.

I drove back to my flat. My very first baby, proud to say I purchased this pent out of my job savings not from our family business drip. My flat is in the top floor all curtain walled, its the closest to heaven I could get, everything is just glimmering at night. 

I head to the kitchen, while the plan for tonight keeps reminding my brain cells.

Joo said the game will start by 9, so I've got loads of time. Shit, the girl, goddamn I almost forgot that I am apparently supposed to get laid tonight. Frickin hell.

I just shook my head in defeat as I opened my fridge and scan for anything really.

Yup. No stock.

Contemplating on whether I'll have my stocks delivered or I'll go myself and get it. Arggh, going out is another thing, I can't have peace. Sure I love my fans, but sometimes I wanna be normal yeah?

That's it. I am going. Just the thought of wasting time and being bored gives me enough reason to decide to go.

I chilled down for a while before I changed clothes and decided to go down.

Instead of going to the big store, I thought I'll take a walk and just grab anything from any small shop in the street.

It's lunch time, and I am starting to be hungry. The weather is cold but good.

There, a convenience store. Grabbed a dozen can of beer, noodles and some stuff to ease my hunger. Decided to get a cup of ramen and a ready to eat pack of tteokbokki and of course a separate can of beer.

I feel so normal today, it made me smile behind my mask like a kid. Got my instant food ready and decided to sit and eat the damn thing over the table inside the store.

I was in the middle of eating my ramen when I felt a person sit beside me. I was alone for quite a bit and was enjoying myself company so I kind of felt uneasy when I realized that I won't be alone anymore.

And that person is a woman. She is in a black hoodie and after pulling her hoodie down that's when I saw her. Medium bob cut brown hair, just seeing her side face I can already tell. small face, pale, no make up, stressed, tired and maybe anxious?. She sighed deep as she was about to go and sit when she noticed me and bow to simply greet, as she pulled her head up that's when I saw her full face. It's like slo mo, I felt as if I was in some kind of movie.

Damn. 

I have to look at her. 

No--- stare at her. 

And I caught myself doing that cause she's now looking at me too. 

"Ya, what's up?" oh yeah..she's annoyed.

"Oh sorry" That was my cue to leave. I immediately stood up and left.

Fuck. 

What the hell was that? 

Who was that?.
