Sung Jiyeon's POV

He changed.

Why would he change? What for?

"Jiyeon dear, we should go now, you have lots of things to do and I'm also gonna introduce you to Mr Park and his son." said dad, opening the front door of our house.

My heart sank but I ignored his statement for a while, "Dad, I still don't understand our partnership with Mr Park."

"All right, I'll explain it clearly," began dad, taking in some air, "We have our own company and it does is we manage special events while Mr Park has his own Entertainment in which it holds famous kpop groups, all in all me and Mr Park have our company together which is we design buildings." explained Dad clearly.

"Ohh all right, so Mr Park is the boss of his entertainment?" I asked.

"Yes." said dad brightly.

"And how about his son?" I asked again, avoiding to say the name 'Jimin'.

"Probably COO." guessed dad, "Jiyeon, you are a CFO on our own company and you are also a COO on me and Mr Park's company."

I felt excitement on my body, "Really? COO? What about mum? I mean — she is the COO of our own company, right?"

"Mum's got nothing to do with it." said dad.

"Wait, you said also a COO, so it means that someone's also a COO?" I asked, feeling a bit nervous.

"Yeah and I'm about to introduce you to him, Mr Park's son named Jimin."

My insides twirl and my heart jumped out of my chest.

"What's wrong?" asked dad, stopping on his tracks and putting a hand on my shoulder. I've been silent recently and I think dad might have noticed my act.

"Nothing dad," I lied, shaking my head. Dad didn't look pleased with my reply.

"Jiyeon, tell me if you feel anything, all right? We can't let that happen again.." said dad, looking worried. He don't even understand.

"Oh yes, oh yes dad." I said quickly, forcing a smile. This time, he looked pleased at my reply so he smiled back.

I'm about to meet him again for the second time. I hope he will ever forgive me. I broke his promise again.

"Mr Park!" called dad, beaming. Mr Park caught a sight of dad and he quickly ran towards us, beaming as well. He looked like the future of Jimin.

Jimin got his cold eyes from his father..

"Ah well, this must be Jiyeon." said Mr Park, I nodded vigorously while smiling.

"Annyeonghaseyo Mr Park." I greeted, bowing. Mr Park greeted me also and bowed back.

"Where's Jimin?" asked dad, turning his head everywhere. Mr Park hit his pockets to check if his phone is there, he quickly pulled out his phone from his pocket.

"Jimin is coming, he's gonna be late 'cause he met up with his friends." explained Mr Park, scanning his phone.

"Arraseo." said dad, looking patient. I had my time to fix myself, I combed my hair using my fingers, I fixed my uniform and I pulled my skirt down to not expose too much of my skin.

"Oh! He's in the building." said Mr Park happily, tiptoeing to see everything. Dad also looked around, leaving me innocent on my spot. I pretended that I was really interested at the stack of useless papers.

"Hi dad." said a familiar voice, I quickly turned my heels to see that man, my heart hammering on my chest.

Dad and Mr Park looked cheerful, I stood rooted on my spot. Me and Jimin were staring for too long.

He didn't look classic but he's wearing tuxedo; his neck tie messed up, his white polo not tucked in, his hair is really everywhere, his coat looked fine though, and his face that was a happy and cheerful one turned into his favorite one, the cold one.

His right sleeve is pulled up, exposing some muscles, bringing a briefcase.

"Jimin, I would like you to introduce to Mr Sung's daughter, Jiyeon." said Mr Park nicely, grinning broadly.

I bowed, "A-Annyeonghaseyo." I said, my voice shaking. He looked at me blankly, he dropped his briefcase slowly.

"Annyeonghaseyo." said Jimin, bowing back without a smile on his face. Still cold, not the face I saw when he knocked me down.

"All right, looks like they know each other for now." said Mr Park awkwardly, pressing his hands once. He might've felt the awkwardness between us.

"That's great!" beamed dad, patting my head like a dog. I chuckled.

"Oh there you are Mr Sung —" said an angelic voice, I saw Vernon peeking through the glass door even though it's see through.

"Vernon, hello." beamed dad.

"Hello Mr Sung, and hello Jiyeon." he greeted, smiling.

I smiled automatically and waved my hand, I saw Jimin looking at us tensely at the corner of my eyes.

"So Jiyeon, let's go. Thank you Mr Park!" bellowed dad over his shoulder. I quickly catch up behind dad.

I pulled my phone and quickly texted Jeongyeon.

Me: Hey! something happened today, can i talk to you later?

It took a couple of minutes before she replied back.

Jeongyeon: oh im sorry, i have an important meeting later, why not on the other days?
me: =( all right.. are you okay? you always say that..
Jeongyeon: ofc, don't worry 'bout me, im always fine. take care of yourself. :)
me: okay.. bye..

I felt something odd on her messages, she's always gone on some nights.
