Lady Boss | VSOO

three | family affair

Jisoo's POV

"Yeri you can go home now, I'll be heading out in a few minutes." I ring her desk phone. There was a slight pause before she responded. I knew she was probably taken aback since I never do this.

No one in the company could go home until I went home. I guess you can say it's an unspoken rule. Why should they go home if I myself is still working hard?

I check the time once more, half past four I read. I sighed and started packing my paperwork, neatly piling them up just how I like it.

After arriving at my penthouse a huge sigh of relief came over me. Finally home sweet home. Yes, I may be a workaholic but nothing beats comfort and rest.

Tirelessly dragging my feet step by step making my way towards my room, I start to drop my belongings on the ground and finally plunge down on my bed, not minding my outside clothes making contact with my clean sheets.

Aish my life is such a mess right now, I thought as I began staring at my empty white ceiling. Staring into nothingness hoping that this nightmare of mine will soon be over.

Why did I have to be born into this family... a question that never left my mind.

My thoughts were quickly interrupted when I heard my phone ring.

I lazily reach for my phone, but my tiredness were fast to dissipate when I read the contact name,

Suho, my love.

"Oppa" I answered.

"How's my girl doing?" he asks me with his loving voice. Oh how could I ever get sick of that.

A slight hesitation flowed over me. I couldn't possibly tell him what my family is plotting, he already has so much on his plate.

"Just tired, the usual. I miss you though" I try my best to quickly change the topic.

"Well we can fix that." I heard him chuckle from the other line. "I have some free time tonight, I'll come over and bring your favourite, chicken parmesan."

"OMG DON'T!" I yell in a panic. I didn't mean for the volume to be that loud but it came out louder than I had expected.

"I mean, no it's okay. I'm just really tired tonight. I think I might just end up going to bed early tonight." I quickly respond, in hopes he won't notice my awkwardness.

"Aigoo my girl is so weird. Well, I'll leave you to it, have lots of rest and text me when you wake up!"

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Phew he didn't question my actions.

I continue to lay here on my bed, my mind still occupied by the situation I'm in. How can I possibly escape this?

Before I knew it time went by, I lifted my wrist, checking what time it was.

Ugh it's already quarter past five. I should get ready now then.

I know I'm against this whole dinner thing but of course I have to look my best always. If I'm going to break off this arrangement, I might as well do it in fashion.

Unfortunately the ride there was shorter than I had hoped. Like what mother said, the car picked me up exactly at six in the evening. I hesitantly stepped out of the car and eyed the fancy restaurant in front of me.

I check my watch one last time before heading in, six thirty I read.

Upon my entrance, I was quickly greeted by the worker, "for which reservation?" she asks.

To no surprise of course my parents had chosen the number one fine dining restaurant in Seoul. Getting a reservation here last minute is practically impossible, they had a long line of an eight month waiting minimum. Till this day, my parents never fail to show their wealth and power.

"Kim Tae Hee or Hyun Bin. Either of my parents." I casually replied unsure.

The worker looked back at me quite surprised, eyeing me head to toe. What the fck?

"Omo I'm so sorry I didn't recognize you Miss Kim Jisoo, please follow me."

I rolled my eyes and decided to let it go. I usually hate it when people look at me differently once they find out I'm the daughter of the one and only Kim Enterprises.

Choose your battles Jisoo, choose your battles. Clearly I have a bigger one to overcome right now.

The worker bowed down once we reached the private room, opening the door slightly for me to enter.

"Omo finally you're here." I heard my mother speak, excitement was evident in her tone.

I look at the table position, six chairs in total, three and three facing one another, with a view that overlooks the Han River.

I sit beside my mother who is eagerly waiting for me and stare at the empty three seats in front of me.

"Psh of course they'd be late." I mumbled under my breath.

"Kim Jisoo. Behave." My father said with conviction.

Truly my patience is being tested every second today. I took a deep breath in and deep breath out. Calm Jisoo, calmmmm.

After what felt like forever, finally the sound of the door opening caught my attention.

One by one our other company finally arrived.

First came who seems to be the father, wait he looks familiar. Followed by the wife I'm assuming, again she looks so familiar and it's bothering me how I can't pinpoint how I know them. Lastly, my eyes trailed at the last figure to enter.

"Oh you've got to be kidding me."

A/N: boring chapter :// but its always like that in the beginning since we gotta lay out the foundations first. Hehe hmm any guess on who jisoo met? (not like it's alrdy obvious)😂
