Foolish Fate

| FIVE |

Hiii!!! I'm back! Back with another chapter ㅋㅋㅋ!!!

I still haven't had a conversation with him and I hope that we won't have. Its really awkward and I have a strange resentment towards him. Ugh.

I walked over to get some food for Joohyuk. The server was about to put a crab soup in my bowl when

"ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF?!" Minseok said to me, I didn't even notice that he was beside me.

"What?"

"Your crazy allergic to seafood! Did you forget that? I'll just take it, here." He said as we swap bowls.

He remembered.

"No, its okay. I can manage." I said as I tried to reach for my soup.

"You don't have too, don't you remember? I love seafood, so this is nothing." He retorted. Honestly, I was getting irritated. He doesn't have to meddle with me and what I choose.

"Look here, Mr Kim. You don't have to do this, this is not for me. Its for Joohyuk." I said and returned to Joohyuk.

We are nothing but strangers, we no longer have any connections with each other.

"Jun you can get your food, Joohyuk, eomma's back." I said as I showed my son his food.

"Yeah!!! Eomma is this crab soup?"

"Yup, your favorite!" He smiled and started drinking the soup. He definitely has Minseok's palette. Like father, like son.

I'm currently on my way to the office. Joohyuk went to my parents' place, and would be staying there for the weekend.

"Ne, come in." I said to the person who knocked.

"Madam, these are the proposed designs XIU Architecture Co has prepared for the new resort that will open."

"Ah, ne. When will be the meeting?" I said as I scanned the papers.

"Next week, madam." I bowed to her and she left the room.

I kept reading the plan, casually turning the pages.

"Kim Xiumin." I read out loud.

It was the name of head architect. What a peculiar name.

-HOME-

I was alone since Joohyuk stayed at my parents. I started to do some work that I brought home.

*Ring ring

"Yeoboseyo?"

"Ne, annyeonghaseyo. I'm calling from XIU Architecture Co, Lee Anna, I'm Mr Kim's secretary."

"Ah, ne."

"I'm sorry to be calling you at this time but Mr Kim's schedule will not allow him to go to the meeting place that it was originally. Can he just make it to your company instead?" she asked me.

"Of course, the meeting will take place in my office then, please inform my personal secretary about this."

"Yes, and thank you. I'm sorry of this was any kind of disturbance."

"Not at all."

The call ended. Wow, he must be a busy man.

A couple of hours later. I stood up and started to clean up some of my work. I checked the time, wow, its already 12:30 PM. I'm kind of hungry. No thank you, I'm too tired to cook and spend time to clean. I'll just eat tomorrow morning.

-

Ahhh... I stretched my arms. I reached for my phone to check the time.

9:30 AM

Wow, I woke up pretty late. I took a bath and changed into a casual outfit.

10:30 AM

It took my an hour to finish all of that. I would be picking Joohyuk from my parents around 3. Maybe I could go get groceries in the mean time.

I arrived at the mall and went into the supermarket. I placed the things we need at home like food, toiletries and stuff for cleaning. That's right! I forgot to buy snacks for Joohyuk when he goes to school.

I checked out and brought them to my car. I'm getting kind of hungry. I need to eat lunch. I looked through some restaurants, until one caught my eye. My favorite Chinese restaurant.

"Table for 1 please." I told the waitress.

"Right this way ma'am." She told me as she walked straight forward. She handed me a menu, and I ordered some food.

"Oppa!!! Why are we eating here? I'm craving for some pasta." I heard a girl said.

"The malls kinda full today, and you need to try the food here its great." I heard her oppa replied.
WAIT, I know that voice.

That's no other than Kim Minseok. I don't know why, but why do I feel like I'm losing my breath?

Breathe in and out. I said to myself. Why would I get nervous? There's to be scared about. He's nothing more but a past. I turned to see them being lead by the waitress. What luck is this? Their table is only right beside of me.

I need to get out of here.

Wait. Why? Its not like they own this. Why do I even get nervous? I'll just ignore them and continue my delicious lunch.

I focused on my phone while I wait for the food. It seems like he hasn't notice me yet.

My food arrived, surprise, it was seafood jajangmyeon. I can't eat this.

"Excuse me, I ordered normal jajangmyeon, I can't eat sea food." I told the waiter.

"Joomi?" I turned to see who's talking no other than Kim Minseok himself. From the corner of my eye I saw him remove his arm from the girl who's holding him.

Act cool.

"Oh, Minseok-sshi, annyeonghaseyo." I bowed to him. I don't need to be casual whatsoever, I will greet him in a formal matter.

"Why are you being formal?" He laughed awkwardly.

"Ah, mian. I feel comfortable like this." I smiled to him.

"Oppa, who is she?" The girl asked Minseok.

"What, what oppa are you talking about, haha. She's my high school classmate. Jung Joomi." He said back to her, obviously he's flustered right now.

"Annyeong! I'm Wu Yesul." What's with this kid. She's being informal. Eventhough we might be of same age, I practice the traditional way and to be respectful.

"Ne, I'm Jung Joomi. Nice to meet you." I smiled at her.

"Joomi, I have an idea, why don't you come and eat with us?" Yesul said.

"Ah, no thank you, I'm just going to grab a quick lunch since I have an appointment later."

"Anniya, its okay. Right oppa?" She asked Minseok. Please say no, please say no. He knows what relationship we are in, I don't need this.

"Uh, oh, gurae." He said.

I sighed.

Why? Why! WHY?!

I changed directress-nim to madam, because directress-nin is to long.
