Familiar Faces

2017 (part 3)

It was a pleasant October Saturday when the autumn has started to leave signs of his arrival through the slightly cold breeze and shedding of leaves. A young married couple was busy arranging a luncheon for the fund-raising event on the purpose of ancient art restoration. The food was already served in the buffet counters, the flowers and greeting cards placed on the tables with proper seat number for each guest. The final guest list was being scrutinised now.

"Do you think he's gonna show up?" The wife asked her husband without taking her eyes off the list.
"He should, I don't think he would step back after accepting the invitation." The husband replied breaking his focus from arranging the flower vase on one table.
"Hasn't he just started working a year ago?"
"Yeah, why?"
"It's a fundraiser, Han-sung! These freaking rich people donates like crazy. Do you think he will be able to match up that level?"
"Of course not, Yoo-joo. How can he? But I've heard he has quite a high pay compared to people of his age and experience. So, I guess he would still offer quite a good amount."
Yoo-joo rose her eyebrows in exclamation and went back to her work.

A mellow ringtone distracted both the people and the husband picked up the phone to answer. His wife moved her attention to her husband to find out what conversation was going on.
"Don't worry, Sir! Everything is arranged."
The words of the person on call was not audible to Yoo-joo, so she thought of asking Han-sung after the call.
"Thank you so much for your remarkable contribution, Sir. It is the highest amount we have ever received through fundraising. I am pretty sure this will benefit the local museums in remote areas." The call was disconnected after formal exchange of regards.

"Was that-"
"Yes! He will be arriving by 2:30 in the afternoon. He doesn't want to show up from the start."
"That man's crazy, I must say."
"He's a father, Yoo-joo."
"But 20 million Won for a single event is too much if you ask me."
"Well, our cause will be fulfilled and he will be having a chance of getting his family back."
"Speaking of family, we offered that guy a plus one and he confirmed a plus one too. Does he got a girlfriend?"
"Might be or it can be a friend who is equally interested in art as he is."

"Wow! This looks amazing!"
"You can come anytime you want. I just upgraded my membership card to plus one."
"But the equipments look too fancy, Joon." Jungkook said running his fingers on an elliptical trainer.
"Your fancy body has some standards, baby." Namjoon whispered in his boyfriend's ears standing behind him that made the later blush.

"Also, I want you to exercise here only, it's just 10 minutes from the campus."
"Is it the only reason, you pervert?"
"I don't want any other person ogling at my boyfriend." Namjoon's pout looked too cute.
"As you wish my dear boyfriend. But what about the girls who keep passing flirting remarks at you at work? Jackson hyung told me everything in our double date last weekend. Remember?" Jungkook looked in a threatening expression folding his arms near the chest.

"Don't listen to that guy. He just exaggerates to tease you." Namjoon placed a kiss on his boyfriend's puffy cheeks.
"Joon! What are you doing? Someone might show up!"
"Don't worry, people hardly register for this early morning slot."
"I will start with this one." Jungkook said pointing at the elliptical trainer he was fascinated with.
"Go on, Kookie. After this we will need to hurry up as we need to pick up the suits from the dry cleaners shop."
"Joon, when do we have to reach the place?"
"By 1 pm max."
After the workout session, they collected their necessary things from the dry cleaners shop.

"By when will you come to pick me up?"
"It's already 11 and it will at least take 25-30 minutes to drive to the venue from my place. How about you get freshened up at my place?"
"Okay, but I will take the shower first."
"Done, your majesty!"
