THE EX { ChaeSoo| Rosé G!P }✔️

CHAPTER 2

Haein drove them to a fancy restaurant. They walked in and were greeted by a male receptionist, who showed them to a table and told them that a waiter would come to get their orders in 5 minutes.

A waiter did show up exactly after 5
minutes and asked for their orders,
Jisoo  pondered on the menu for some time before deciding to have lamb
salad with fregola while Haein chose to have pappardelle with sea urchin and cauliflower with a bottle of red wine for both of them.

After waiting for 10 minutes their
orders were brought, so they dug into
their meals because they were really
hungry.

"Wow, I can't believe we just hit
another milestone," Jisoo  began.

"I was shaky back there in the
boardroom because that old man
looked intimidating... You know, I
never thought they'd eventually agree
to invest."

"Yeah, I'm glad we were able to
convince them in the end," Haein
replied, smiling at the memory.

While they were still eating Jisoo's
phone rang, and she saw on the caller
ID that it was her mom. She got excited because it had been a while since they talked.

Jisoo's mom wasn't a fan of Haein,
Jisoo's fiancé. She had no specific
reasons for disliking him but had no
option but to support her daughter's
choice.

"Excuse me love, let me take this call.
It's Mom," she told Haein  before picking up the call, he nodded in approval.

"Hello Mom"

"Hello honey, you forgot about me. "

"Don't say that mom, I've been really
busy."

"Really?... Tell me, what have you been busy with? Work or Haein ?"

"Mom!"

"Yes honey, because I don't understand what could be more important than your mother and I know Haein  is selfish when it comes to you."

"Mom please don't start with that now... I'm being honest with you, I've been busy with work. Just today, we got another big contract and I'm excited."

"Oh really! I'm so happy to hear that. At least, you can now come and celebrate with your mother because I know you must be having fun with Haein  right now "

Jisoo laughed at her mom's comment.

"Mom..."

"Yes baby, I'm being serious. You know it has been such a long time since we saw each other, and don't forget that your dad's company isn't mine, honey, it's yours."

"Okay, mom. I'll think about it."

"There isn't anything to think about,
take the next flight to Los Angeles..Im
expecting you and I won't take any
excuses."

"But mo-"

Jisoo's mom hung up before she
could say anything more. Jisoo was
speechless.

"Jisoo, is something wrong?" Haein
asked looking concerned.

"Um. Oh, yeah. It's just mom and her
drama... She wants me to go spend
Some time with her."

Haein suddenly frowned, Jisoo was
expecting that kind of reaction from
him.

"Haein?"

"Mmm?"

"You know I haven't seen Mom for over a year now and it's not fair, she needs me,"

Haein  kept stabbing his meal with his
fork, he was barely paying attention to what Jisoo was saying. Jisoo  became sad with Haein's present mood. She didn't want him to feel this way but at the same time, she needed to see her mom.

"Haein ?" She called him, hoping he
would respond.

"How long are you going to be away?"

That wasn't the response Jisoo was
expecting from Haein. She needed them to talk like adults, but it seemed things weren't going to turn out that way.

"I'm not sure how long I'll be away,"

"Are you done with your meal?" He
asked because he had already lost his
appetite and wanted to go home.

Jisoo  felt bad and regretted that she
had immediately told him the reason
why her mom called.

"Yeah, I'm full." she lied.

He called the waiter and settled the
bills, and then they left.
