My Fate || JeongChan FF

Chapter 13

Jeongin walked downstairs after Chan's short departure.

His eyes immediately gazed at the cute couple sitting on the couch. He smiled, seeing them so happy.

Then his phone buzzed in his pocket.

As he took it out, His face immediately glimmed with joy as he saw the notification on his phone's screen.

Hyunjin noticed Jeongin's smile and asked, "Hey, Jeongin. Why the happy smile?"

Jeongin went over and sat on the couch opposite to them. "My cousin, Minho, just texted me. He said he's flying to Seoul in the morning with his husband-"

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait." Felix's eyes widened, "Do you mean Minho? THE Dr Lee Minho: qualified physicist and surgeon, expert psychologist, and husband to the amazing vocalist, music producer and singer, Han Jisung?"

Jeongin blinked a few times before he finally replied, "... Yeah, pretty much."

"How do you know so much about Jeongin's cousin?" Hyunjin inquired.

"Uhm, hello, he's only one of the youngest people of his generation to receive a PhD in psychology in South Korea, won so many awards in Doctrait at such a young age, and he got married to one of the best song writers and vocalists in the country. And he also treated a friend of mine from Greenland who had Cancer. How do you not fuckin' know this man?"

"Felix, at this point, I feel like you have friends in places I don't even know anymore..." Hyunjin gave a side eye.

"Whatever ", Felix just rolled his eyes.

"I'll finally get to see them after so many months." A beautiful smile spread across Jeongin's face.

Jeongin
I'll see you at the airport tomorrow, Hyeong 💗

Minho
Okay. Sleep tight!

"When are they getting here?" Hyunjin asked.

"At 7am. I'll meet them at the airport."

"Ooh, can I come with you? Please!" Felix begged with intertwined hands.

"Your just gonna go there and fanboy the poor couple like crazy", Hyunjin said.

"Oh please, when have I ever done that to anyone?"

"Oh, well, let me see. What about that time when you screamed like crazy when you saw Lisa from BlackPink. Or that one time you met Eunwoo for the first time at that fan meet? Or when-"

Felix put his hands up in defense, "Okay, okay, I get it. I can get a little bit over the top sometimes. But this is Han-Ji-Sung! And to top it all off, he's coming to this city with his great doctor-husband!"

"I guess you can come", Jeongin said, "But I'm warning you, the fan crowds at the airport are CRAZY! So prepare for the worst."

"As long as I get to meet them, I'm good!" Felix grinned from ear to ear.

"I'll come with you, then", Hyunjin added, "Just to keep an eye on you..."

'Oh my word...' Jeongin thought.

Seungmin's POV

As I pulled up into the company's parking lot, my eyes turned to Ms Cho, who had been sitting silently the whole way here. "Come on." I got out of the car and opened the door for her.

"Thank you", her voice came out softly.

"Listen, Ms Cho. If I truely need anything, I'll ask you. Okay?"

She nodded, "Okay..."

Then we both headed inside the building, preparing for the day's work.

*A few minutes later...*

I walked down the corridor, before I bumped into someone. This made them spill their coffee onto the ground.

'At least it wasn't my shirt this time...'

"I-I'm really sorry Mr Kim", Ms Cho apologized.

"Please stop apologizing for little mistakes."

"But this keeps on happening repeatedly. I'm so sorry." Ah looked awfully nervous.

I sighed. "Come with me."

"What? Where?"

"Just follow me...", I gently pulled her by the wrist, taking in mind about her pregnancy.

As we walked out of the building, she asked, "Where are you taking me, Mr Kim?"

I didn't answer her, instead we got into the car and drove away from the building.

"Sir, where are we going?"

I just breathed out a little sigh as I pulled up in front of a cafe a few minutes later.

"Mr Kim, why did we come here?" She looked anxious.

"You said you'd do anything I ask of you today... So we're here to enjoy ourselves."

She blinked before I got out of the car and went to open the door for her.

We went inside and found a table. Then I pulled a up a chair for her as she sat down.

The waitron came and gave us the menus.

"So what do you want to have?" I asked her.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Just answer the question."

"Maybe... A chocolate glazed donut...", she looked at the waitron, "Do you have any pickles?"

My head tilted in confusion.

"Uhm...", the waitron looked unfazed by the odd question, "Yes we do, madam." His attention then turned to me, "What will you have, sir?"

"Just a coffee. Decaf."

"Okay", he said as he jolted down our orders. "Your orders will be here soon." Then he left.

"Now can you please answer my question? Why are you doing this for me, sir?" Her eyes met mine.

"Just because I want to. Now stop asking."

She looked down as we waited for our orders. A few minutes later, the food was set on the table.

Ms Cho didn't hesitate as she took a big bite from her donut.

I watched as she finished up and started munching on the pickles. As she took her first bite, she closed her eyes and shook her head in satisfaction.

"You were craving for that, right?" I asked as I looked up from my coffee.

She looked at me and swallowed her food before she nodded.

A my lips began to curve into a small smile.

We eventually finished up and went back to the car.

As we drove back to the company building, Ms Cho said, "I'm sorry... "

"What is it now?" I asked, my eyes still focused on the road.

"For-"

I cut her off. "Let me guess. For bumping into me again?"

She kept silent.

"I thought I told you to stop apologizing for that. It wasn't your fault. It was just a small incident. Okay?"

I know she nodded.

As I pulled up into the parking lot, I turned to look at her. "Look. Instead of you doing what I want..., let me take care of you..."
