Roommates

Part 78

This can't be real. I'm dreaming, right? I wanna go home right now. 

"This is my son, Im Jung Woo." Jung  Woo says. He smiles at me and I wanna punch him. He bows.

"Nice to meet you." He says. 

"Dinner isn't ready yet, so the kids can go hang out while the adults get to know each other." Ms. Jung says."The adults venture off leaving Jung Woo and I alone.  My day just keeps getting better. 

"You got all dressed up for oppa." Jung Woo says, smirking. I roll my eyes. 

"You're not my oppa, we're the same age." I point out. 

"Whatever, let's go on that tour." He says. He starts walking away and I reluctantly follow him. Of all the people who had to buy my dad's company, it had to Jung Woo's dad? 

"So, did you enjoy your trip yesterday? I bet you cried for your mommy." He says laughing. 

"You're talking too much, dead skin cells are coming out of your mouth." I say, annoyed. Man, I really wanna punch him. 

"Where's the washroom?" I ask. 

"I'll tell you, if you kiss me." Jung Woo says, sticking his cheek towards me. 

"I have a boyfriend." I say. 

"But he's in jail." Jung Woo says. 

"Nevermind." I say.  I spot Secretary Lee. 

"Mr. Lee." I say bowing. 

"How can I help you, Miss. Song?" He asks. 

"Where is the restroom?" I ask.  He looks at Jung Woo and then back at me. 

"Follow me." Secretary Lee says. I glare at Jung Woo as I walk past him. The walls are lined with family photos, the professional ones that rich people get done. 

"How long have you been working for the Im family?" I ask. 

"It's been about 10 years now." Mr. Lee says, it seems that he can't believe it either. "My son was in elemenatry school at the time." I do the math and realise that his son would be my age. 

"Which high school does he go to?" I ask. 

"Seoul High." He replies. I'm shocked. 

"Maybe I know him." I say. 

"His name is Lee Jooheon." Mr. Lee says. That's why he looked so familiar, Jooheon definitely got his looks from his dad. 

"We're friends. He's dating one of my best friends, Kim Sa Rang." I say. 

"Ohh, you're the Song Jae Eun. I've heard a lot about you. You're dating his friend Shownu, right?" Mr. Lee inquires.

"Yes." I lie. I couldn't be bothered to explain teenage relationships to him. 

"Jooheon and Shownu go way back. They've been best friends since preschool and have remained best friends ever since." Mr. Lee says, fondly. 

"No wonder they seem more like brothers than friends." I say. 

"I'm glad Jooheon has such amazing friends." Mr. Lee says smiling, causing a s dimple to appear. 

"He's a great guy and I'm really glad he's dating Sa Rang." I say. 

"Jooheon made the right decision not going to private school." Mr. Lee says. 

"Private school?" I ask. 

"Yeah, Mr. Im offered to pay for Jooheon's tuition so he could go to the same school as Jung Woo, but Jooheon didn't want to leave Shownu." Mr. Lee explains.
