Your Lips Belong To Me

10: Im's

NAYEON

The gate of the mansion immediately opened when it recognizes the plate number of my car. Our mansion is heavily guarded with an electric gate that is made of tungsten metal. It is also monitored by one of our personnel, there is a camera attached near the gate. Only person authorized would be allowed to enter.

There's also a scanner in which applied on our plate cards. Of course me and my Father are only the ones with this. Prevents enemies and spies from other families to penetrate our place.

I parked the car near the fountain, but I remembered Mother don't like it when I parked here. She dislikes disorganized and messy things. It irritates her.

So, I went back and moved my car backwards before Mother sees me. She'll surely scold me with her daily 'Mother' lessons. I don't have time for that, and I'm not planning on staying for long here. I just need to talk and discuss something with Father.

I got out of my car and walked towards the main entrance. I pushed it and there the sight of my old home welcomed me. It's still the same as I remember it, I think Father made slight renovations to make the mansion more modern and elegant. But there are some things that still stayed the same.

Yaves, the head butler suddenly appeared at my right side. "Mistress! You did not announced that you're coming today"

I smiled at him. "Oh I'll just have quick visit with Mother and some things to discuss with Father. Are they here?" 

"Mr. Im's at his office, as usual. While Mrs. Im's at the kitchen, cooking" he informed.

"Thank you. I'll go see mother first. Nice to see you again Yaves" I smiled at him once again before I walked to where the kitchen is.

I was actually planning on talking with Father first since I know that I'll be spending more time with my Mother. But when Yaves mentioned that Mother's cooking, I suddenly feel hungry. It's been so long since I tasted Mother's cook. I surely miss it.

I was just at the entrance of the kitchen but I can already smell the faint aroma of something delicious. It smells like home.

"Hi Mother!" I greeted at the back figure of my Mother.

"Oh Goodness! Darling! Please don't show up so suddenly and scare me like that! I almost had a heart attack" she dramatically hold her chest.

I laughed at her. "Nice to see you too, Mother"

She glanced at the pot and then put on the lid before facing me and gesturing me to come closer. She engulfed me in a tight hug which I gladly returned.

"Oh I missed you honey......you know how lonely it is in here. Why don't you visit me anymore?" she asked with a sad smile.

I looked at her then sighed. "I'm sorry Mom, you know I was busy with school and stuffs. I am close to graduating, so schedule's got a little bit hectic"

"Right, but I'm so glad you're here. I really missed you" she cupped my face.

"I missed you too, Mom. Don't worry I'll come visit again once I had a free time. And oh, I'll bring someone special with me" I smiled at her.

"Oh really? I'm excited to meet her" she smiled giddily.

She then turned her back on me to check on the food she's cooking. 

"You know?" I asked.

"Of course darling, I'm your Mother. I know everything about you" she then turned off the stove and grabbed a bowl to serve her masterpiece.

"Now c'mon help me in here so we can eat already"

"Actually Mom, I'll not be staying long. I- I just have an important thing to talk about with Father"
