Stepping onto the bustling streets of Seoul, I felt the vibrant energy of the city surround me like a familiar embrace. With each stride, memories of my childhood flooded back, intertwining with the anticipation of the meeting ahead.
As the only son of the esteemed Hwang family, I grew up immersed in the world of technology and innovation. My parents, leaders in the field of computer science, instilled in me a passion for exploration and discovery from a young age.
Across town, in a mansion nestled amidst the towering skyscrapers, Minho was preparing for our reunion with equal fervor. As the sole heir to the prestigious Lee conglomerate, he was no stranger to the intricacies of business and strategy, his upbringing steeped in the legacy of his family's success.
The Hwangs and the Lees were not just business partners; they were bound by a history that spanned generations. Our companies, once separate entities, had merged decades ago, forging a formidable alliance that shaped the landscape of industry in Korea.
Minho and I, despite our disparate upbringings, shared a bond that transcended our family ties. From our earliest days, we had been inseparable, our friendship forged in the fires of mutual respect and admiration.
But as we grew older, fate pulled us in different directions. I was sent to the United States to further my studies in computer science and technology, while Minho embarked on a journey to Japan to delve into the intricacies of business analysis and statistics.
Despite the physical distance that separated us, our bond remained unbreakable, sustained by late-night video calls and messages exchanged across time zones. We shared not only our triumphs and successes but also our dreams and aspirations for the future.
And now, after four long years, we were finally reunited, our paths converging once more in the bustling heart of Seoul.
I arrived first at our favorite café, the scent of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the comforting familiarity of the place. I chose a corner table, my heart pounding with anticipation. Moments later, the door chimed, and Minho stepped in, his eyes scanning the room until they locked onto mine.
A broad smile spread across Minho's face as he made his way over. "Hyunjin!" he called out, his voice a blend of excitement and relief.
"Minho!" I stood up, and we embraced, the years melting away in that moment of contact.
As we settled into our seats, a comfortable silence enveloped us before Minho broke it. "You haven't changed a bit."
I laughed, shaking my head. "Neither have you. Still the same Minho, always sharp and collected."
Minho's gaze softened. "It's been too long. How was the States?"
