Deadly Devotion | Heesunsun

Chapter 1 | S1: Beginning

Sunoo's POV

"*Yawn* Wha- Mom- Mom! Stop! HAHAHAHHA MOM!" I was woken up with mom Jiyeon tickling me.

"Good Morning Dear. You still have school, join your father at the table, I cooked Jjajangmyeon." Mom said giving me a wink. She knew Jjajangmyeon was my favorite food of all time.

I got out of the bedroom and saw my dad Minho sitting on the chair drying his hair with a towel, he must be going to his contruction work after breakfast. "Mornin' sleepyhead." He greeted me. I hugged him at the back before sitting.

Mom served the food and we ate. Dad started a conversation about his work. Dad cleared his throat, his eyes meeting mine and mom's. "I have something to tell you both."

Mom's curiousity deepened. "Mhm, what is it?"

Dad took a deep breath, "I've taken on a project for someone significant, a Mr. Lee."

Mom's eyebrows furrowed. "Mr. Lee? Who is he? I don't know any Lee here in our area."

Dad explained, "He's from Seoul. He's a wealthy businessman. He's entrusted me with a task. Mr. Lee's team has hired me to oversee the construction of a mansion."

My brows raised. "A mansion? That's... big."

Dad nodded. "Yes, it's quite an endeavor. They've given me plans to follow, and I'm responsible for making sure it's built properly. And you know, this Mr. Lee is actually just 22 years old! Can you believe he's that wealthy?"

Mom's eyes widened. "22 years old?! Well, our Dear will be successful at that age too." Mom said.

"Of course! I can be successful in just 20 years old!" I shouted and both of mom and dad cheered.

But then mom spoke again. "But working for someone like Mr. Lee... it sounds risky."

Dad's gaze met hers earnestly. "Honey, we're in a tough spot financially. This opportunity pays well, and it's a chance for us to turn things around."

Mom's expression softened. "Well, okay... Just promise me you'll stay safe."

Dad spoke gently. "I promise, Honey. I'll do whatever it takes to provide for us."

When we finished eating, I went to the bathroom and washed. I wore my school uniform and bid my Mom goodbye as me and my Dad was about to go to work and school. I always ride with dad in his motorcycle when I go to school.

"Hey!" To my surprise, Sunghoon, my bestfriend was outside our balcony holding his bicycle. He was also dressed up in our school uniform.

"Hey, what are you doing here? Aren't you going to school?" I asked him.

"Well-" Before Sunghoon could answer, dad came out the door.

"Ready Suno- Oh Sunghoon, what brings you here boy?" Dad came closer to Sunghoon while putting his helmet on.

"Can I carry Sunoo to school sir?" My eyes widened as I heard him. I looked at dad, who is also frozen.

"HAHAHAHA of course boy, you don't have to ask." I scratched my head. Is dad and Sunghoon teaming up? I'd be happy to not interrupt dad on his way to work but it will be awkward if I ride in Sunghoon's bike.

Sunghoon bowed and reached his hand out to me. I just smirked at him and ignored his hand, making my way to his bike, he scoffed. I held his waist as he pedaled to school. It was a bit awkward as expected, for me at least.
