Chapter 48

[2nd]

"Did you enjoy the camping?" your dad asked while slicing his medium steak with a side of potatoes, while you're trying not to eat like a pig. 

After the camping, your dad immediately called you to have dinner with him, but he didn't say that it was a business-centered dinner. Luckily, you wore a semi-formal maroon off-shoulder dress that stops on your knees, and you paired it with a pair of black flats. 

You nodded, "I did, it was a whole day of not using my phone and just mingling with the people who were with me," you answered, "how's the company, by the way?"

"Why? Are you interested?" he said teasingly, making you smile. Slowly, your relationship with your dad is getting better. Even though he's not around most of the time, he still makes an effort of spending time with you and Seojun. 

But tonight, Seojun is not here because of personal responsibilities. "I'm just asking, but soon, maybe." you said, smiling. 

"You are lucky that you have a daughter that is willing to take your place, Mr. Kim. I still don't know what my grandson is planning to do after college." Your dad's business partner said while looking at the both of you. You showed a smile before continuing to eat your food.

You were busy with stuffing your stomach with food when you heard a deep voice, and also you heard unfamiliar chinese words. "对不起我迟到了爷爷." (Sorry I'm late, grandpa.) "It's okay, now introduce yourself to Mr. Kim and his daughter." the old man skillfully spoke in korean. 

You looked up and your eyes widened, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kim, and it's also nice to--Jiho?!"

It was Chenle, looking shocked as you were. "You're Mr. Zhong's grandkid?" "You're Mr. Kim's daughter?"

"You guys know each other?" your dad asked, making you nod. "He's my classmate, dad."

Chenle smiled, "What a small world, no wonder you were busy dressing up earlier." He made his way beside you and sat, "Do the boys know you're here?" you ask. Your dad and Mr. Zhong talked about business while you and Chenle are casually sitting beside each other, also conversing.

He shook his head, "We'll tell them later," He took a slice of his steak before talking again, "I didn't know my grandpa and your dad are business partners, it's very very interesting."

"I know right? Funny enough, we were talking about you. Your grandpa is concerned about your plans after college. Aren't you interested in taking over your company?"

Chenle shrugged, "I'm not really into business, but if it's really needed the I guess I'll be the new CEO. But for now, I don't have to worry about it. My mom and dad are next line, what about you?"

"Well, since I'm the only daughter of my dad I guess I'll be the next one to manage the company. But we have Seojun, we still have to know he's more interested in doing it. Also, being in the business world is stressful." 

He chortled, "That's why I don't want to be involved, it's stressful and I might go bald by the time I become 30." he said, making the both of you laugh. 

Few more minutes of talking and Chenle stood up, "Grandpa, Mr. Kim, we'll leave now. I'll be the one to take Jiho hom later, Mr. Kim. Have a nice night."

Your dad looked at you and smiled, he planted a soft kiss on your forehead and pinched your cheek, "Be safe, sunshine. And call me when you get home." 

You nodded, "You too dad," you turned to Mr. Zhong, "we'll leave now, Mr. Zhong. Please take care on your way home."

Chenle pulled you outside and sighed, "Aren't you cold? Jaemin will kill me if he sees you wearing that while shivering." he removed his jacket and put it over your shoulders, "Why would he kill you?" you ask, making Chenle raise his eyebrow. 

"You seriously don't know why?" he asked, and you shook your head, "We'll call them when we get there. For now, get inside the car." 

A white tesla arrived and you were amazed. Chenle isn't rich, he's filthy rich. "Where are we going?" you asked while attempting to buckle your seatbelt. 

"The beef tripe restaurant, I miss eating those."

"But we just ate there last week." you said, laughing in between the words. "Then where do you want to go?"

"Jajangmyeon?" you asked. he nodded and turned to the driver, "The nearest jajangmyeon place." "Yes, Sir Chenle."

Chenle fiddled with his phone for a while then held it near the both of you, ("Chenle? I'm--Jiho???")

You smiled when you saw Haechan, he was wearing his pajamas and he had his hair tied, "Hi Haechan-ah."

Eventually, all of the boys answered the call and the single call suddenly became a group video chat.

("Why are the two of you together? And is that a white dress shirt and a dress? Did the two of you go on a date without telling us?!") He shrieked, making you laugh. "Sort of, but it was for business purposes. What are you guys up to?"

("Trying to know the truth between you and Jiho, are you guys dating?") Mark asked, clearly trying to make the two eggs angry. 

Jeno was clutching tightly on his phone, while Jaemin is about to throw his outside. (We stan rich idols who can buy new phones in seconds)

("Do you like her too, Zhong Chenle?") says Mark.

("Did your grandpa and Jiho's dad set you guys up?") says Renjun.

("Are you guys getting married?!") says Jisung.

("Are we gonna be uncles?!") screams Haechan.

("Can you guys fucking shut up?") The two eggs said in unison, making you and Chenle laugh uncontrollably. 

"Fuck, no. No one's getting married and no one is getting laid...yet. My grandpa and her dad are only business partners, we didn't talk about marriage or anything about it, so chill eggs, I don't like your girl like that."

The two eggs obviously sighed in relief, Jeno then talked, ("Where are you guys going?")

"We'll eat jajangmyeon, and none of you motherfuckers are allowed to come. It's only me and Jiho tonight, dating in formal wear while eating jajangmyeon." he teased. 

"Let's see each other tomorrow, bye." he said before turning the call off. You then received a bunch of texts.

Jeno: Be safe

Jeno: Be careful around that dumbass lol

"Hey!" he shouted playfully, making you laugh again. Then your phone beeped again.

Jaemin: Let's go eat jajangmyeon tomorrow

Jaemin: Just the two of us
