VENGEANCE

16. The Young Master

"Young Master, please wake up and have your breakfast." Mrs. Bang tried waking up the boy in his early twenties. "Mrs. Banggg, you are soo cruel. It's Sunday todayyy" the boy whined, unwilling to get up soo soon on a Sunday morning. 

"But you have a date with Ms. Lisa at 11:30" she said. The boy shot up and looked around wildly. "What's the time now?" he asked. "10:30" she replied. 

He jumped out of the bed and yelled "I am gonna get my ass kicked for being lateee" as he ran into the bathroom. Mrs. Bang sighed and went out of the room to set his breakfast.

The boy shot down the stairs and into the kitchen, stuffing his mouth with the sandwiches that Mrs. Bang had made for him before running out of the house. "Master, your car keys" Mr. Bang yelled as he ran after him. 

"Master, I need to talk to you for a bit" he said as the boy ran back to him. "Is it urgent?" the boy asked. "It isn't urgent, but it is important" Mr. Bang said. 

The boy looked down at his watch. "Can you finish it within 10 minutes?" he asked. "Yes, sir" the man replied. "Okay, then. What is it?" the boy asked. The man took a deep breath before answering him. 

"I know that it has been emotionally hard for you since your parents died, but you have earned a very nice fortune. You are not a minor anymore, so I request you to think maturely. There are many maids and butlers who work here, but it is very hard for me and my wife to manage them. I know I have no place to say this, but I request you to continue the business of your parents and run the mansion and the company well instead of fooling around like this" Mr. Bang said. 

The boy stared at him for a while and gave him a small smile. 

"Thank you, Mr. Bang. I will think about it. But Lisa is my life. I love her more than anything. If not for the age, I am ready to even marry her today. So please don't tell me to stop dating her" the boy said. The man sighed before nodding and apologizing. 

The boy drove to Doore Yoo and parked hurriedly before running out of his car. "Namjoonieeee" a girl yelled as she ran to him and hugged him. "Aigoo, my Lisa! You keep getting prettier. I don't know how I'm gonna live like this" Namjoon said as he peppered her face with kisses. 

She giggled and pulled out of his grasp. "Let's go, let's go, let's go" she chanted as she pulled him into the restaurant. 

"Nah, nah, let's go for shopping. We'll come here for lunch" he said. "Or we can go to the park or something. The weather is good today" she said. "You want to go to the park at noon?" Namjoon asked. "Hehe, yeah" she smiled sheepishly. 

"Do NOT smile like that. Are you planning to kill me?" he asked. She gasped and placed her hands on his face. "Hell, no! What will I do without you?" she asked, blinking innocently. Namjoon chuckled and pulled her into the car. 

"Don't tempt me too much, or I'll make sure you won't be able to walk properly for the next two weeks" he warned. "Ooooh, I would love that" she grinned and winked at him. "Patience, patience, patience" Namjoon chanted as he fixed his gaze on the road and drove to the park. 

They walked around for a while, hand in hand, before settling on a bench. Namjoon put an arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer. He put his head on her shoulder. "You know that I love you, right?" he mumbled. 

"Hmmm, I am not sure. Prove it to me, and I will show you how much I love you" she said mischievously. "Really?" Namjoon got up and looked at her with wide, excited eyes. 

She shrugged and looked away, trying hard to maintain a blank face. But Namjoon could see through her act right away. He moved back and laid down, resting his head on her lap, and looked up at her. 

"I'll marry you once I turn 25" he said. She whipped her head towards him, and then looked away again. "Not enough" she grinned. 

He pretended to think for a while before pulling his mansion keys out. "My house keys. I'll make a duplicate and give it to you" he said. "How is that a proof that you love me?" she asked. 

Namjoon fake gasped as he got up and faced her. "Half of the kids in Daegu believe that the king lives in my house. So what does that make me? THE KING! And I am giving you the keys of my palace. The biggest, magnificent and most adored blue mansion of whole Daegu! The owner of that whole fortune is offering you their mansion keys, and you say it is nothing?!?!?!" he exclaimed as he feigned anger. 

"Oooh, forgive me, your highness, but I was under the impression that you trusted me a lot more than simply giving me your house keys" she said as she bowed to him. 

Namjoon sighed as he thought about it. "1584" he said suddenly. "Huh?" she was confused. 

"My bank account password" Namjoon said. She gasped and hit him on his shoulder. "Are you mad? Did you lose your mind? How can you blurt out your bank account password like that? That too an account like yours!" she yelled. 

"Woah, woah, chill. That's how much I trust you and love you, Lisa! Now show me how much you love me" he said. "You gotta wait for another nine-to-ten hours for that, Namjoon-ssi" she said and winked at him before running to the car. "Let's eat, I'm hungry" she said. Namjoon chuckled as he ran after her. 

"So, shall we add a photo of ours in the gallery?" he asked as they ate their lunch at Doore Yoo. "Nah! Anything except that" she said. 

"Aaahhhh, whyyy? This is the thousandth time you are rejecting this" he whined. "I don't want people to see my beautiful face" she said, sticking her tongue out and continuing her lunch without replying to any of Namjoon's protests. 

"NAMJOON, IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP IN TEN SECONDS, I AM GOING TO DUMP YOU IN THE BATH TUB" Jin yelled and soon, the whole room burst into laughter at Namjoon, who fell out of the bed from fright. 

"What were you dreaming about, huh? I've been waking you up for almost ten minutes now" Jin said, still howling with laughter and clutching his stomach. "Shut up! When are we leaving?" Namjoon asked. "Once Jungkook and Jimin arrive" Hoseok said. 

"Yeah, so get up and get ready" Taehyung said. "Okaiee" Namjoon said as he got up and ran to the bathroom to avoid further embarrassment.
