Destined | 예정되지 않은 Series

Seventh Chapter

The scenarios from the last day were just stuck to Donghyuck's mind. There were two specific things that were getting on his nerves and taking his cool.

First, his professor's freaking father had seen him exiting his son's freaking room. Second, even after witnessing such an obvious thing he had the pace to offer an innocent smile and simply saying, “Your mother had called and was asking how are you doing.”

Now, “The fuck Mom got to know that I was at Taeil's home?”

Donghyuck's head was just aching intensely and his stomach was growling as well. So he just shook his head, shaking the stressing thoughts away for that moment as he entered his mother's restaurant. He was supposed to be just hanging and eating around with Renjun and Jaemin but he felt the need to drop the said idea and somehow obeying his mother this time round.

He didn't know as to why, but he felt something difficult was going to be happening and maybe, maybe this could calm the said thing before it could even start?

“Good evening, Sir. It's nice to see you after a while. Pardon my ignorance but… Ma'am didn't say anything regarding your arrival nor any specific dish we were supposed to be cooking for you?” The staff asked politely yet confusingly as soon as she spotted her boss' son.

“Oh no, no. There's no need to apologize nor to make anything special for me. Just got back here last day and was feeling hungry. Thought it'd be good if I'd just have a healthy meal here as that's what Mom always concerns about. And, since Mom is not here, it's my duty to be even more responsible with my acts.”

“But thanks to the almighty that I'm here and got the opportunity to witness how responsible my son has become.”

Donghyuck felt as if he was still in his nightmare but no. As soon as he looked up at the image of his mother, he realized that nor was it only some image, nor nightmare. It was fucking reality.

“Got the opportunity to witness Mr. Lee Haechan obeying his ignorant mother which I only see in my wildest dreams.” Jieun said as she walked towards her son's direction.

The younger man didn't know to react or what to say. But after trying hard the only sentence he could spill out was, “Mom? You here all so sudden?”

“I would be very glad if you had said that you are happy to see me here but I guess… Life is not fair.”

“N-no Mom. I didn't mean it that way. It just came out itself. I was just-”

“Nervous? Well, that is understandable. I mean, who wouldn't be nervous after…” Jieun stopped and looked at her employee, motioning her to excuse them and start working. The staff bowed and went to the kitchen, giving the family their privacy. Jieun turned her head back to the younger and raised an eyebrow suspiciously.

“Knowing that they fucked up big time and then knowing that their mommy also got to know about their wonderful deeds this time.”

Donghyuck didn't really have any idea about anything around him anymore. All he could feel were the intense goosebumps he was getting.

“Just make anything healthy and no need to rush. We got something important to discuss so it may take us a bit.” Jieun said a little loudly, instructing her staff, her eyes still locked with his son.

“Let's talk in private, sweetie.” She said as she made her way to the VIP area. Donghyuck gulped and followed his mother behind.
