IMMORTAL CYBORG || LEE HONGBIN

CHAPTER 11

The next week they started their usual routines, going to work and some other things. Eunwoo kept losing his focus about what his father told him last week. He thought about it the whole week about what he should answered.

The day ended and he sent Heeyoung home by car. After they ended their college life, he preferred to drive because they didn't have any pass as students for transportation anymore (just an excuse). Heeyoung also now slowly learned to draw for digital comic because it has been her dream and the reason why she chose art field-she wanted to be a comic artist.

"Appa said he will buy me a computer for drawing if I get a nice result, ahh I suddenly can't wait to get my result." She scrolled her SNS account and decided to post a picture of both of them in the car.

"Great then, as you're sure enough you will get a nice result huh" He teased her before he took a right turn to their house road. She squinted and rolled her eyes before she looked at her phone back. "Yah, what are you going to do tomorrow?" He asked since they got a day-off the next day and she just shrugged her shoulder, probably haven't think about what should she do tomorrow.

"Anyway, thank you Mr.Driver for the ride." She unbuckled the seat belt and noticed that he didn't look at her, but grabbed the steering wheel tightly and stared at it like he was thinking about something. "Eun..Eunwoo-yah..?" She called him softly but he didn't notice her and was sighing. She cleared her throat and he blinked a few times before turned to face her.

"Why?" He asked and looked at the door if it was locked, its not because it's already unlocked. She put her palm on his forehead.

"You okay?" He cleared his throat and nodded while smiling. She knew he's not okay but she didn't want to disturb his messy mind so she replied the smile and patted his shoulder. "Anything call me bro, goodnight" She closed the door and waved at him.

She took a fresh shower and dried her hair in front of the mirror, after changing into a silk pajama she wanted to turn off the lights before someone suddenly called her. She looked at the screen and chuckled, as expected.

Handsome Tea Meat.

She smiled and sat at the edge of her bed "Yo, I almost get into the dreamland if you're late for a second." She heard him chuckling.

"Wanna eat ramen tonight? Come here I'll cook for you"

"You just know when I craved over ramen, okay I'll come in a minute." She hung up the phone and wore a hoodie as she was lazy to change her pajama.

She walked towards his house which just a few steps from her house. The door was unlocked so she entered it while looking around, is he really let the door unlocked and didn't scare if a thief enters the house? Even though the area was completely safe as it was guarded and one of the places that rich people preferred to live, but the probability for bad thing to happen was still there.

"Is it you, Heeyoung-ah? Come here at the kitchen." He called her as he heard the door was closed. She walked to the kitchen and saw his back view. How lucky for another girl to get this jerk, she was excluded as they wanted to keep a nice buddy relationship as long as they can. She took a sit at the high long table provided in the kitchen.

"Are you alone?" She looked around as it was so silence. Even though its night, but usually his parents will have a supper or watching TV at upstairs and sleep around 11 to 12 pm. But its not past 11 yet. He turned to nod and continued to cook her ramen "Make it deliciously please chef-nim." She smiled and played with the figurine that was put as a decoration on the table.

"Special ramen for Jang Heeyoung" He put the bowl and took a sit in front of her. He reached for the chopstick and gave it to her.

"It looks expensive hahah." She joked around and prayed before she blew the noodles and slurped it. He chuckled at her cute action when she shut her eyes as she felt like she burned her tongue.

"My parents went outside the city, as usual my father had a meeting for another building." He watched her ate almost half of the ramen and sighed. She frowned and put the chopstick to drink.

"And why are you sighing? You look messy, like- you thought a lot." She put the glass and stirred the ramen, not wanting to finish it so fast.

"I'm going far, Heeyoung-ah.." She stopped stirring and slowly looked at his face, he looked serious that she had to let out a fake laugh.

"Mwoya,gyesok jangnan-hae.. (what is it, you keep joking around). Where are you going? Is it that far? Where? Pyeong-yang? Jeju?" She stared at him and waited for his answer.

"Not in this country.." She was kinda shocked and bit her lips "Russia." She widened her eyes and suddenly choked that she had to drink her whole water.

"Yahhhh, why is it so far? Are you really taking my words to 'take care of me even when we are far from each other' seriously??" He looked down and sighed, it seems like he doesn't pleasant with it as well. "Is it your father? He wanted this right?" She asked and he nodded slowly.

"Cha Eunwoo, we need to talk." His father took a sip of the coffee at the living room without looking at him. Eunwoo let a soft sigh before he slowly took a sit in front of him.

"What is it, abeoji..?" He didn't dare to have an eye contact with his father. He only looked at his feet and waited patiently.

"As the only son in this family, you know what you should do don't you?" His father asked that he had to frown and slowly nodded. "So I'm going to send you to Russia."

"Wait, what?" Eunwoo immediately looked at his father through the dim light. He was speechless as he didn't expect this. He knew he will have to take over his father's business but he didn't expect to handle things from outside of the country. "Isn't this too much? I don't even studied in business yet you asked me to handle yours at Russia?"

"I don't believe others but if you, I can ask people to teach you. Its not that hard and I've already sent a few of my workers here to Russia so you will not have any trouble in communication. Look, I just succeed to become a partner with them but I can't leave Korea yet as there's a few problems that need times to solve. Do you think they want to wait for your problems to solve? No, so I want you to represent me and at least I can give a fresh image if someone young goes there."

Eunwoo looked down and sighed. He closed his eyes as he thought it was too much. He just finished college and the result is yet to come out but he already had to go to Russia and become a businessman like his father. "When do I have to go? I can't go too fast, too many things to handle here."

"The end of this month. There will be a celebration there so you really need to go before that day. I don't know what things that you need to settle but make sure don't make any trouble. Another thing, Heeyoung shouldn't stop you from going there." Eunwoo looked at his father in disappointment as he looked down on Heeyoung.

"What did she do? She's my friend and I'm sure she understands..how coul-"

"Because I know you guys are close and never separated before, that's why I know she must be the main reason why you hesitated too much. Cha Eunwoo, end of this month okay." He left the coffee and warned his son before he went upstairs left Eunwoo struggled with his decision.

"What can we do then..its your father and you're the only son he has. Then you should go and make him proud of you." She almost teared up and he hugged her immediately.

"I never forget my promise to look after you" He closed his eyes to hold his tears. She smiled and nodded before she replied the hug.

"Make sure you come back if anything happen to me okay? We can never break up wherever we are. Its a sure. Don't fall in love with Russian girl, I can't bear to let you live there and being so far away." She deepened the hug and he chuckled before stroking her smooth hair.
