✔ Book 1: The Other Miss Park

Other 53

Dara was reading halfway through her book when she gets distracted with Jiyong stomping around as he paced the room, whining under his breath.

Putting down her book, she gave attention to jiyong "Problems, Kwon?"

"Did I say anything?" Dara scowled at the way he's acting.

"I just made you wash dishes and you start whining like a child."

"I am not!" He was going to stomp on his foot for emphases but realized it was a childish thing to do so he snobbed her instead.

"Then quit stomping your feet and ranting under your breath, I'm trying to read." Dara rolls her eyes and continues to where she left off. She was relieved it was finally silent but then a shadow loomed over her pages and she looked up to see jiyong peering.

"What?" Jiyong didn't answer and bent down with his brows furrowed, focusing on the page as he scans to what dara has been reading.

"Stock Investing for Dummies?" He snatched dara's book, taking a closer look and shook his head "You're really reading this when you have the best source you could get information from?" He closed the book and tossed it to the foot of the bed and sat down next to her.

Dara raised a brow "Where?"

Jiyong scoffs, standing up and pointing at dara, offended. "Me! If you may have forgotten, I am Kwon Jiyong, THE Kwon Jiyong"

"And?" Dara boredly asks

"Ya! I'm the best business tycoon in this country, second to none and-

"Oh really? Not from I've heard. You only came second from what I can remember. " Dara teased, wondering what he'd say.

"Ya! That park heir is a fake!" Jiyong bursts out and dara's getting amused. She faked a gasp and tilt her head "how so?"

"It's just their marketing strategy to keep their investors since the old man will soon step down!" Dara puts a pillow on her leg so she can rest her elbow as she supports her chin as she listens to jiyong "tell me more."

"You see, I'm not that naive. The old man park has reached his prime and someone has to take his place so of course, the investors would be contemplating at the risk of the company tumbling down and would hold a meeting for the next chair but of course, since the only child of the old man park passed, that leaves his grand children who I've heard have no knowledge of the know hows of their busines. No one has even seen them step foot inside the company." Dara's lips twitched as she nods along to his story. "Mhm"

Jiyong sat down as he continue to share his theory to dara "The Parks Have a lot of business all over the world but not all of them are successful, some even in the verge of bankruptcy so how could he possibly have an heir that was able to pull up their failing business in a few months time? It's a perfect scheme to show investors there's nothing to worry about him stepping down as he will be leaving it in good hands when in fact! It was just him all along and they'll be left with a clueless person as the new chairman who knows nothing about business but then again I have no complaints as the Kwons will take over." He smugly says and clicks his tongue "They're the only ones blocking my way."

"Really? I thought it was your dad." Dara smirks and jiyong scowls at the foul play making her laugh.

"Oh ha-ha. I worked my ass off for that company! I can't believe I was held back just because I wasn't able to get a piece of land! A piece! Among all I've acquired." He huffs, getting riled up when he remembers the petty reason why he was suddenly banned from his own company which reminds him, he'll be taking it back soon. Why would've brag about it to dara but he couldn't find to do so

Dara snickered at his expressions "What? Are you still sulking?"

"I'm gonba have it back soon." Dara was confused at first but realized what he meant.

"Congratulations! Must be thrilled to get you place back huh." Dara teased and jiyong straightens up, chin up and smiles at her "of course! I can't wait to get back! So many things to change."

"Good change I hope." Dara doubted and jiyong looked at her in offense "It's for the greater good of my company, of course it's good!"

"And employees?' Dara raised a brow at him.

"Ya! What kind of boss do you think I am?"

"An irrational hot-headed one." Jiyong opened his mouth to retort but all the things he had done to his employees before flashed his mind.

"I... guess I was jerk wasn't I?" Dara laughed hearing his unusual acceptance

"Ya! Why are you laughing at me?!"

"Awwe you've acknowledged your mistakes! I'm so proud of you!" She cooes, tickling Jiyong's chin

"Aish ya!" He stood up, moving away from dara

"Come here!" Dara continues to tease, chasing after jiyong who ran out of the room, down the the main hall where the kids are.

"Stop it!" Jiyong warns as he ran out to the beach

The kids watched as the adults whizzed by them and peeked to make sure dara wasn't trying to kill jiyong this time.

"Is that really how relationship works?" Saeron asked

"One moment you're killing each other and then teasing one another?" Suhyun asked and they all turned to the only love birds present.

"Pretty much." Bobby hunches up his shoulders. Jisoo's phone rang bobby peeked to see who was calling since his girlfriend had a wide smile. It was her grandpa so she excused herself.

Jiyong was laughing at dara's shocked face when he scooped a sand and threw it at her.

"So this is how you wanna play it." They were laughing as they played like they were kids.

"Ok deuce! I'm tired." Jiyong pants and dara nodded in agreement. They're really getting old.

Jiyong and dara both went back inside to find the kids laughing playing with uno.

"Where's jisoo?" As soon she asked that jisoo came back in looking daze, looking at a blank space as she walks.

"Ya jisoo unnie!" Hayi chuckled knowing their unnie could get weird at times.

"Hey." Dara smiles, reaching to her niece's arm waking her up from her trance.

Dara's smile faltered when jisoo met her gaze and the laughter died down. Jisoo uttered a single word "harabeoji," and broke down.
