Black & White

two;

Mr Park entered the restaurant with his wife beside him walking side to side. They looked around and found a familiar couple sitting across the restaurant. 

''Hello my friend!'', he spoke in English and hugged the guy who stood when Mr Park and his wife approached them.

''Mrs Myoui! It's been a long time!'', his wife hugged the woman who sat next to Mr Myoui which was his wife. ''How's Korea?'', she asked the Japanese couple when both of them sat.

Mr and Mrs Myoui only gave them a genuine smile. ''It's hard to convince the kids'', the woman replied in a short and clear Korean.

''You knew how to speak Hangul already?'', Mr Park looked amazed 

Mr Myoui laughed at his friend ''We learned it beforehand when we were in Japan. Only my daughter said she's the one who's struggling in Hangul''

''Mina is struggling? But I heard she took Hangul class when she was in Japan?'', Mrs Park asked curiously.

Mrs Myoui nodded while smiling ''That girl pretend to struggle but I know she got a good score in Hangul'', she laughed at her daughter's cheekiness after remembering how Mina always said that she's bad in Hangul when she's actually scored higher than her brother in their private class.

''You can talk comfortably in Hangul with us.'', Mrs Myoui suggested.

''All of us are multilingual. We can just mix everything!'', Mr Park said while laughing. 

It's a fact that they all can speak more than one language because in business, it's very crucial to know other languages to make the communication between business partners become a lot easier and that's what have been taught to Mr Park's son, Park Jimin. 

Park Jimin, an expert when it comes to multilingual because he studied Japanese, Mandarin and French at a young age but he's a bit slow when it comes to English as he hates the grammar the most.

''So I think we should jump to our discussion real quick. Don't you think so?'', Mrs Park asked when the waiter walked away after taking their orders at the expensive restaurant.

Mr Myoui nodded and sighed before he continued ''I hope you can help us out, Mr Park''

Mr Park looked at his friend's face with a concern expression. He knew exactly what his friend been through. Mr Myoui has been scammed by his business partner in Japan and his whole asset has been froze by the government after he has been accused to misused a huge amount of money for illegal use. 

He knew it well that his best friend would never done such thing as Mr Myoui has always been a kind person who always helped him to maintain his business in Japan.

''I know you would never done such thing.'', Mr Park talked while looking at his friend's eyes sincerely. ''You always helped me out whenever I have problems settling my business in Japan. Now it's time for me to repay your kindness''

Mr Myoui looked at the table and sighed ''It felt crazy to hide about this from my daughter. I only explained it to my eldest son since he's quite mature. I don't think Mina is ready about the whole thing yet''

Mrs Myoui held her husband's hand and gripped it tightly as support.

''I think we should proceed with our planning'', she said while looking at Mr and Mrs Park who were sitting in front of her.

The couple nodded understandingly. ''It's tough but this is the only way'', Mrs Park said.

The friendship between both Mr Park and Mr Myoui started when they both studied in the same business school in United Kingdom. Both has been best friends since then and the friendship continued to be stronger when they always helped out one another every time one of them was having hardship.
