Heir |Kim Seungmin| ✔

Four

"I see you didn't change the restaurant." Sarah looks around the place. It's one of the places that her dad co-owns and before she left for the states, she helped run it for a few months.

They have arrived first and the workers were still in the middle of finishing setting up the table and decorations.

She then stopped one of the workers, "Excuse me. Can we get a bouquet of yellow roses in the center of the table please?"

"Yes ma'am." The worker politely bowed before getting back to work.

Mr. Park chuckles, "What's with you and roses?"

She formed her red painted lips into a blissful smile.  "It's the meanings. Yellow is for friendship, welcome back, and new beginnings. And this dinner is perfect for it because well I'm back."

"Plus a new beginning which is your wedding." Mr. Park pointed out. Her smile then fell, "Right...I almost forgot about that." She muttered under her breath.

After about 5 minutes more of setting up, it was time for the dinner meeting to start.

"Seojun it's been a minute!" Mr. Kim and Seungmin came into the restaurant making their way to the table.

"Welcome Wonpil, and it's good to see you again Seungmin." The older men shook hands. "Ah and you must be the pretty Sarah Park who I see all around Korea." Mr. Kim exclaimed.

Sarah blushes as she lets out a light chuckle, "I don't know about pretty but thank you. It's nice to meet you Mr. Kim."

"Please we're going to be family, call me dad as well." Sarah pursed her lips at the mention then looks at the boy that was standing beside Mr. Kim.

"Hi." Seungmin said with a deadpan expression on his face. "I'm Kim Seungmin your fiancé. Here." He shoved the bouquet to her hands but she gladly accepted them, trying to ignore the boy's rudeness. "Thank you. White roses are my favorite."

"I've been told." He muttered which earned a nudge on the elbow from his father, "Be nice" he whispers. Seungmin just rolls his eyes.

Mr. Park cleared his throat, "Why don't we take our seats."

"May I ask where is your son tonight? This was supposed to be a family business dinner." Mr. Kim said as he noticed that someone was missing from the table.

"Right, well Jinyoung preferred to be with his girlfriend than with his family." Mr. Park mannerly chuckled.

"Wish they could've taken me too." Sarah muttered under her breath.

"Well that's fine. Maybe invite her next time too." Mr.Park grinned, "That would be great." Sarah immediately replied. "More the merrier." He added.

"And I hope you don't mind the decorations, Sarah here has chosen out everything." Mr. Park mentioned.

Food has been served.

"Oh yes I've noticed the greatly decorated room. I was amazed by it the minute we walked in. I didn't know you were so good." Mr. Kim said.

Sarah proudly smiled, "I'm glad you like it. I've taken interior designing as a hobby. I also hold lots of other skills as well."

"That's great, perfect for a wife." Seungmin rolled his eyes for the nth time at his father's response. "Well perfect for a CEO." She started.

"Actually, is a wedding really necessary? Now that I'm back, I'm ready to take over the company...by myself." She said.

"Sarah! We discussed this." Her father gave her a knowing look.

She abruptly stood up from the table, "I'm taking back what is rightfully mine and I'm not getting married over it." She sternly said.

"The company shouldn't be run by a spoiled princess." Her eyes widened at what Seungmin just said. She was shocked because he hasn't said much until that last comment.

She scoffed. "Excuse me." Sarah was going to say something in defense until someone else did. "Kim Seungmin! I'm sorry Sarah, I don't know why he's like this." Mr. Kim apologized.

"Sarah, we already discussed this, it's final." Her father then pointed his hand at the boy, "Seungmin is going to be the next CEO, the wedding will be next month, and you guys will be living with each other."

"The wedding is next month?!"
"We're going to be living with each other?!"

It felt like Sarah's heart was about to jump out of her chest. "Um thank you for dinner, I-I suddenly don't feel so good right now. I'll be heading out first." She quickly grabbed her bag and rushed towards the exit.

"Sarah come back, let's talk about this." Mr. Park called out. She was already out of the building.

"Seungmin why don't you go after her." Mr. Kim said.

"But-"

"Now." He sternly said.

Seungmin just sighs as he got up and ran where Sarah just exited. He was going to run further until he noticed she was blanking out on the bench near the entrance.

"You didn't have to follow me." She said, not looking at the boy as he sat next to her. Well more like on the other side of the bench.

"I was told too." Is all he said. Like I would follow you anywhere, he thought.

"And for the record I've never been spoiled my entire life." She said without looking at the guy.

He scoffs, "Yeah right. That is what every rich kid like you says. I bet you haven't lifted a single finger in your life." He shook his head.

She clenched her teeth, "You don't know me. You know what, you don't even deserve to hear about my life's story. My ride is here." She stood up from the bench.

She then faced him before getting into the car, "Don't let the door hit you in your way back in." She said with a sarcastic smile.

"It totally backfired." Sarah groans, plopping on her bed. Seulgi was the one who picked her up and now they are in her bedroom.

Seulgi sighs as she sat next to Rachel, patting her back in comfort.

"I told you. Whatever dad says is always final. Might as well help plan the wedding. I'm sure you would at least like that." Jinyoung shrugged. Trying to make his sister feel better. Emphasize on the 'trying' part.

"Screw the wedding. I'm not going to marry someone who assumes and just calls me 'spoiled'." She crossed her arms.

"Who does he think he is? I haven't asked anyone for money and I actually worked for what I've own." She glared at the thought of Seungmin.

"Just tell him who you really are. I'm sure he won't be much of a jerk then." Seulgi comforts her.

"I'm not talking to him- oh great, just my luck." Mid sentence she got a sudden text from her father.

"What? What does it say?" Seulgi looks over at her phone.

"He wants me to go on a date with the guy." Sarah hissed.

"It's perfect." Seulgi exclaimed. Sarah just looks at her friend. "Come on Sarah, since this wedding is bound to happen, might as well get a breakthrough. Let him see that you're not what he thinks you are."

"Great, two days back and I'm already regretting it." Sarah throws her hands, slumping in her seat. Seulgi just chuckles and side hugs the poor girl.

"Hey, you guys are making me feel lonely over here." Jinyoung frowns as he joins in the hug.

They all laughed then heard the stories Sarah had about being in the states over the years.
