Love Parade

Lee Heesungs' POV

As soon as I spotted her, I stood up, ran to her and hugged her as if she was someone close to me.

"Huh what is this?" she said between the hug
"Just flow with it, I'm trying to stop a weirdo from following me"
"A weirdo?" she said pulling out from the hug
"Yes, follow me to get his car"
"Okay"

"Why can't you just drive his car to him"
"cus I still have unfinished business in the area"
"Oh alright" she said taking the keys and starting the engine
"Thank you, Minji"
"It's no problem. Send me your address, he said I should bring it to your house"
"My house is going to become a public zone soon" I sighed "sure, safe journey"

I waved her goodbye and she sped off with the Porsche. I took one look at the cafe to spot the girl still sitted. 'Maybe she really wasn't following me' I thought. I walked back to the hospital to finish up the matter I came for.

"Are you still busy sir?"
"Why be so formal, take a sit son" I obeyed "Is it about your cousins?"
"Yes, why do I have to accommodate them? Why should I be the one to suffer at the cost of their family problems"
"That is a very rude thing to say. Whether you like it or not, they are still your cousins. It is true that your Uncle Park is a nuisance when it comes to his family but it's not our right to talk about it. We should be righteous and at times like this, we should help them in any way we can"
"they're rich enough to afford an apartment, so why this?"

Dad became speechless and I could tell something was up

"It's moms' doing right? She's trying to make us bond after all these years"
"Heesung! don't blame your mother for trying to make you guys be like a family. She's not wrong"
"I wonder why you're still siding with her on issues like this"
"Because, she's your mother. Respect her decisions"
"Dad, Jay hasn't apologized and I can't help but blame Sunghoon along with everything. We both know it was supposed to be the Lee enterprise and not Park. If not for mom and her brother, we probably would have been abroad"
"Heesung" He called out
"And now the business is not doing so well, he's trying to merge with another enterprise"
"Heesung" He called once again
"If it was us, we would have gone places with our family name in bold. Why haven't you even divorced mom after what she did?"
"Lee Heesung!" he scolded "that's enough. Leave my office, accommodate your cousins and don't come back to me until you reflect on your actions"

I got up angrily and left. My dad is too kind-hearted and lets people get the most of him. I'm sure mom doesn't even love him, what a back-stabber for a mom. If not for her and Mr Park; her so called brother, I won't have to be visiting a shed of sick people just to see my dad.

I got a taxi and planned to go home when I spotted a salon, a friend of mine works in. I stopped there to see if e's free to have a drink.

"Hello is Mr Yang here" I asked the security
"I'm not sure sir, why don't you take a look inside to see for yourself"

I walked inside and tried scaling past the multiple litters of dainty hairs on the tiled floor. I spotted Jungwons' co-worker and moved over to her.

"Uhm Yuna right?"
"Yes?" she looked up to me "Oh Mr Lee"
"Yes, is Yang available?"
"I'm sorry, no. It's not his shift today"
"Okay thank you"

I said and walked out, off to the convenience store. If Jungwon wasn't available, I know Sunoo will.

"Yah! Sunoo" I said as soon as I walked in
"Jeez, must you be so informal? It's a store not a zoo. Keep your voice down a bit"
"Sorry, did Jungwon stop by?" I said taking a seat next to his desk"
"No, why?"
"I wanted to ask if he could drink with me"
"Heesung" he sat down beside me "don't you think you treat Jungwon and I like your age mate. We are quite too young to follow in your footsteps"
"I'm just grooming you for your future"
"With soju? come on you know better. Do you want to end up being treated by your own father due to lung cancer or something?"
"That won't happen, I have a great immune system"
"If you do, what makes you think Jungwon or I do?"
I stopped on my words in realization
"Exactly"
