With one word, was enough to put the house of the Hwangs into orderliness and arrangements.
"He's back, Mr Hwang is back. The backbone of the Hwangs family" The maids dusted every inch and corner of the house, arranging the prepared room of his choice.
Everything had to be perfect, With one mistake could create havoc in seconds.
Mr Hwang had no patience and time for disorderliness, he preached Time, money and manners.
Nothing mattered to him more than earning more money, and spending time efficiently how it needed to be spent.
The black car came to a halt in front of the house, the maids in arrays waiting for his errands and commands.
Junseo, Jukyung and their mom Mrs Hwang stood at the door waiting for him.
"Honey" she strode over to him, giving him a peck as he did same before hugging Jukyung.
"My study room Now!" He whispered to Junseo.
**********
Junseo knocked as his father ordered him in. He sat across his father on one of the couches.
"The Engagement procedure starts tommorow. You'll propose to Rachel tommorow over dinner, and you'd have a press conference the day after that. I sent Butler Kim to get you an expensive ring" Overwhelmed with the ramblings and commands of his father, he stood up.
"Abeuji!, I can't marry Rachel. I can't get engaged to someone I don't love Abeuji, I'm afraid this engagement you planned won't work"
"You mean you love this thing!" Mr Hwangs threw dozens of pic showing Junseo and Ji an kissing by the rooftop.
"Abeuji!, Did you order Butler Kim to do this?"
"Junseo!, If this engagement doesn't work, I'll forget that I ever had a son and disown you. Now leave my study room!" Junseo took one more glance at his father before rushing out.
"Junseo, are you okay?. What did Appa say?" Jukyung bombarded him with questions, seeing how hellish he looked.
"I'm okay, I'm going out for a bit"
"Wait, did you know Ji an and her family left the house?. Appa fired her Aunt and sent them away" he now felt more angry than earlier.
He grabbed his keys to his car and sped off to an unknown location.
*******
Ji an stretched her hands after piling the boxes and arranging them, moving wasn't easy and she wasn't sure why they suddenly had to move but this time it was a studio Apartment.
Her aunt had saved up from all the months she worked in the Hwangs house, so their house wasn't beat up and tiny like the former ones.
It had a small living room with One bedrooms. Ji an, Aera and her aunt would share a room.
They also bought a small space for their rice cakes shop that her aunt was superb at. And renovating it tommorow was going to be lots of stress.
"Ji an, I'm picking up Aerin from her cousins at Busan. We'll be back by tommorow" her aunt informed as she nodded "There's food in the fridge arraso"
Great, the apartment to herself. She was going to text Ha na to come over for sleepover when she heard knocks on the door.
"Who's it?" She asked but no avail, she peeped through the keyhole and saw Junseo.
She opened the door and Junseo hugged her tightly, getting whiffs of her sleek brown hair. She observed him and smelt alcohol.
He was drunk.
She closed the door and let him in on a couch "how did you get here?" She asked him, instead he cupped her cheeks and smiled "You look cute when you're mad" She quickly hit his shoulder slightly.
"Junseo!, What are you really doing here?" He was about to answer and then slept off in a minute.
She looked at him and rolled her eyes, thinking it was one of his tricks to stay here. She looked at his face a bit closer, her eyes lingered on his lips and his nose then to his eyes which were closed.
What was she doing?, She asked herself as she stood up and covered him with a blanket.
"Well, goodnight Junseo"
******
Junseo woke up with a grunt, his head felt like it was being punched every second. And he couldn't recognize where he was?, A dark Studio Apartment room and the scent of soup lingering around.
He got up and strolled to the kitchen area, looking for the aroma.
He then saw Ji an making soup and setting up the small table, she turned to him with a smile "You're awake?, The soup's already done" she then put it in the plate, and watched how he drank it to his full without a spoon.
"How did I get here?" He asked after gulping sips of water.
"You were drunk last night. So, now you're okay you have to leave, I don't want any trouble from Mr Hwang"
He held her hands softly which jerked her "Trust me, I'll handle it. But, do you like me?"
"You have to go junseo, my aunt's arriving this morning" she said, avoiding his gaze and besides she had already planned a date with hyung min.
He nodded, took his things and left before leaving her pondering. "Who did she really like?, Hyung min or Junseo" Then her mind wandered to what happened that day Mr Hwang arrived.
Flashback
The other maid had told her Mr Hwang asked for her. She walked into his study room being welcomed by his smile.
"Ji an right?" He asked as she nodded.
He opened a file, adjusted his glasses and read" Your parents are dead and you currently live with your aunt and cousin, your aunt is a maid here" he looked at her and closed the book "What does a lowlife like you want with my son?"
"Hwang ja Nim"
"I'll send you abroad to study, or how much do you want to stay away from my son?" He added, throwing the pictures of her kissing junseo to her.
"Leave my house and tell your aunt she's fired"
"You have money right?!, Then I'll stay away from junseo if you give us two hundred and fifty million won"
Flashback over
She sobbed, thinking of how filthy she could be. Anyways, she had to be selfless and think of her hardworking aunt who got fired because of her.
A/N
Don't hate ji an too much, she's just thinking of her aunt.😭😭😭😭😭
