Chapter 6: Deep Thought
By the time their meeting with Director Choi ended, it was already half-past five and Victor came around to pick them both up. He first made his way to drop Melissa home. When they reached Melissa’s place, she thanked Victor for the ride and told Sora “Well, I guess I’ll see you tomorrow Sora.”
“Yes, see you tomorrow. Rest up tonight. Tomorrow’s gonna be a busy day,” Sora responded with a tiresome look. Melissa gave Sora the ‘fist’ gesture and whispered “Fighting!” from afar, to show her support. Sora smiled at Melissa and signaled her to go in.
Victor continued driving Sora around. Sora was in her own world and trying to work out the things she has to do for tomorrow and the days ahead. She was in deep thought until she suddenly felt the car stopped, which is when she snapped back to reality.
“Oppa, why did you stop the car?” asked Sora as she looked around, “Where are we?”
They were parked in front of the Han River. Victor got out of the car and came around to open the door for Sora. She slowly got out of the car and took a deep breath of fresh air.
“I remember you always like to come here whenever you feel stressed or troubled. I guess here is the place where you can ease your stress away by looking at the streaming water and the city lights at night,” said Victor as he was staring into the river himself and then turned his head to face Sora, “Isn’t this what you need right now?”
Sora nodded indicating that Victor was right. All that was on her mind right now, was whether she can do what Director Choi requested within this short period of time.
“Take your time here. Let me know when you’re ready to go home. I’ll be waiting inside the car.” Victor took off his jacket and placed it over Sora’s shoulders.
“Oppa,” Sora looked at Victor with a light smile, “Gomawo.” Victor returned a smile and got inside the car. He puts on the stereo and plays some soft music to help Sora relax.
After spending a few hours looking at the Han River, Sora made up her mind. She told herself that there’s nothing to worry about and as long as she has faith and confidence in herself, nothing is impossible. She was ready to take up the challenge brought forth by Director Choi. What she needed to do now was to relax and start off fresh for tomorrow. She got back into the car with determination. She leaned forward to Victor and said “Oppa! Let’s go get some food! I’m starving!”
Victor looked at Sora and said “I suppose you threw all your stress and troubles into the Han River already?”
“Oppa, nothing can stop me from doing my job right? I can do it if I just believe, correct?” Sora seemed like two entirely different person after having a few hours for her to think things through.
Victor slowly nodded and responded “…Yes…as long as you believe, you can do it.”
“Aja! Oppa! Let’s fighting together,” said Sora while nodding at the same time. She gave Victor a very encouraging and determined look.
Victor didn’t know how to react to Sora’s sudden cheerfulness, so he slowly nods again and replied “Ummm…Al…right, lets figh…ting together then?”
Sora turned around to face the front with her hand under her chin as if she already came up with a grand plan. She was ready to take on whatever challenges come her way.
***[ Meanwhile ]***
Park Jungsu and Donghae arrived at his mother’s place. He entered the passcode to the house.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP and entered into the house. When they got inside, they can see the dining table was already filled up with big portions of food. Donghae’s eyes widened and made an audible swallowing sound. He was already taken aback from all the delicious food presented in front of him.
“Hyung! Can I dine here every night?” Donghae asked Park Jungsu as he makes his way towards the dining table to get a closer look at the food.
Park Jungsu smiled and shook his head in disbelief to Donghae’s question. He then called out, “Eomeoni! I’m home.”
His mother then came out from the kitchen with a big stone-pot of boiling ginseng chicken soup and said “Oh Jungsu-ah and Donghae-ssi! You’re both finally here! Let me get the rice and then we can start.” Park Jungsu quickly helps his mother with the soup and places it onto the table.
Donghae quickly greeted Park Jungsu’s mother, “Pretty Eomeoni! How are you? Thank you for letting me dine with you tonight. Let me help you with the rice.” Donghae darted into the kitchen to fill three metal bowls with rice. He seemed to know his way around since it wasn’t his first time visiting.
They all gathered around the table and were happily enjoying the wonderful food prepared by Park Jungsu’s mother.
“Omona… Jungsu-ah, look at you. You seem to have lost a bit of weight. Has it been really busy at work?” his mother asked.
“Well, just a bit. A lot of my idols are rehearsing for either concerts or upcoming live events, so I had to go around several locations and have different meeting with different stage planners to discuss the settings for each of their songs. But there’s no need to worry, it’ll be just for these few months.” Park Jungsu told his mother, trying to make her less worried.
“But still… Jungsu-ah. Given your schedule is so busy, you can’t skip your meals. If you lose money, you can always earn it back, but if you lose your health, it’s very hard to gain back,” his mother told him, still worrying about his health.
“Eomeoni, there’s no need to worry. I don’t skip my meals; I just don’t have enough time to eat a full one that’s all,” said Park Jungsu.
Donghae puts down his pair of metal chopsticks and turned to Park Jungsu’s mother and assured her “Pretty Eomoeni! Don’t worry; I’ll help you make sure hyung take his meals three times a day!”
Park Jungsu’s mother looked at Donghae with a gratitude smile, “Gomawo Donghae-ssi!” She placed her hand on Donghae’s shoulders and continued “Jungsu is very lucky to have a good friend like you, Donghae-ssi,” then she turned to look at her son.
Park Jungsu kept on eating and noticed his mother’s eyes set upon him and he looked up to meet his mother’s gaze. He took a few glances back and forth between his mother and Donghae; to which he let out a slight snort and asked “Wae? Why are you looking at me like that, Eomoni?”
Then his mother brought up something that he least wanted to hear at the moment. “Jungsu-ah, although you say that you’re only busy for these few months, but I know you’ve been burying yourself in work more lately since the time you broke up with her.”
Park Jungsu quickly puts down his pair of chopsticks and in a calm yet stern voice said “Eomoni, can you not talk about that woman right now? I just want to have a nice and peaceful dinner tonight. Bringing that name up is too much. If you mention that woman again, then I guess it’s better if I don’t come back for dinner.”
From Park Jungsu’s comment just now, the atmosphere quickly turned cool. Donghae was stunned by his hyung’s reaction, but just kept silent.
“Jungsu-ah, mianhe. I didn’t mean to upset you. However, as your mother, I really want to see you settling down soon and have a family of your own. What Omma means is that even with work; you should also have another social life like meeting new people of the opposite sex,” said his mother as she tries to explain her intention for bringing up the subject.
Park Jungsu lets out a deep sigh, feeling a bit regretful and said “Mianhe Eomeoni. I apologize for my tone of voice just now. It’s just that that woman…whenever I think about her, it brings back some unbearable memories, so I rather not talk about her.”
Donghae wanted to change the atmosphere and jumped in “Yeah! Let’s not talk about her. Besides Pretty Eomeoni, you don’t have to worry about hyung! Don’t you know who he is? He, Park Jungsu, is the President and CEO of JSE! The President of one of the top entertainment agencies in Korea and he always gets surround by pretty ladies.”
Park Jungsu jerked his chin up and throws a stare at Donghae after his mocking statement. Without any sound, he made mouth movements that said “Yah! Lee Donghae!”
“Oh, does he now?” asked Park Jungsu’s mother while looking at her son. Then she lets out a sigh “I just wish he can meet a decent woman and have a family of his own. I mean look at you, you look like you’re living a dull life.”
Park Jungsu then said, as he takes out his phone and started to play around with it, “Eomeoni, my life is fine right now. It’s not as boring as you think, so there’s no point in worrying. Besides, I’ll decide what I want to do with my love life on my own.”
“But Jungsu-ah ―” before his mother can continued, Donghae quickly jumped in and said, “Pretty Eomeoni, don’t worry about hyung. Besides, he and I will be meeting Sungmin hyung and Siwon after dinner at a club. We’ll have a great time there!”
“Ani, we’re going to the lounge tonight instead. I just whatsapped Sungmin and Siwon, they messaged back saying they prefer a less noisy place to chat tonight. We’ll head out after we finish dinner.”
“Oh, you’re leaving soon?” asked his mother, wanting her son to stay a bit longer.
“Yes Eomeoni, we’ve got some matters to discuss. We’re meeting early because I’ve got meetings scheduled early the next morning, so I can’t stay out too late. Mianhe Eomeoni, I’ll try my best to make more time for you next time.” Park Jungsu apologized for his short period of stay as he placed his hand on top of his mother’s.
His mother nodded, understanding that her son is a busy man and needs some time for leisure like gathering with his friends and having a good time when he’s free.
Soon after Donghae and Park Jungsu finished dinner, Donghae thanked his hyung’s mother for the wonderful meal and hope to have more opportunity to do the same in the future. Park Jungsu’s mother told Donghae that he is welcome to join them for dinner anytime he wants, but has to ensure he informs her earlier so that she can prepare more food. Then both Park Jungsu and Donghae said their goodbyes to Park Jungsu’s mother and made their way out of the house.
Park Jungsu and Donghae drove to the downtown area of Seoul to meet up with Sungmin and Siwon. They arrived at Lounge 69, the night lounge where all four of them agreed to meet. It was a night lounge where most celebrities and wealthy businessmen would gather for leisure and such. Not everyone is able to enjoy themselves at the lounge unless they are VIP members who are highly recognized figures or has certain status in Korea.
When they have arrived at the roundabout of the lounge, a valet came to greet Park Jungsu and Donghae as they got out of the car. Park Jungsu left the car keys inside his car and had the valet help him take care of it while.
They walked to the entrance of the lounge where they were both greeted by one of the managers at the lounge, “Good evening Mr. Park and Mr. Lee. Welcome to Lounge 69. Mr. Lee and Mr. Choi are both waiting upstairs; please kindly follow me this way.” The manager of the lounge ushered them to one of their many VIP room.
As they walk down the corridor, everyone in the surrounding were comfortably seated on the lounge chairs and sofas enjoying different refreshments and appetizers while listening to the tune of jazzy music.
They’ve finally arrived to the VIP where Sungmin and Siwon were waiting. Park Jung and Donghae entered the room and saw Sungmin and Siwon both already inside enjoying their beverages.
“Well, it seems like our leader hyung and Donghae are finally here,” said Sungmin as he stood up to greet Park Jungsu.
“Yeah, about time too eh?” said Siwon as he followed Sungmin’s gestures and greeted both his hyungs, Park Jungsu and Donghae.
“Blame this namja here. Took him a while to finish his dinner,” Park Jungsu told Sungmin and Siwon as he lightly directed his hand at Donghae’s direction. Then he sat down next to Sungmin and flipped through the drinks menu; leaving Donghae standing all by himself.
“Wae? I needed to take time to enjoy your Pretty Eomeoni’s cooking,” defended Donghae as he took a seat next to Siwon.
Both Sungmin and Siwon laughed at Donghae’s response.
“So, exactly why are we gathered here tonight? I have still some directing work to do the next day for my clients’ CFs, so this better be important,” said Sungmin who is a well-known video and film director in Korea.
“Yeah, this better be important. I had to cancel one of my dates with a model just to be here,” Siwon told them both. Siwon is the son of a wealthy chaebol in Korea. He spends most of his days in bookstores, art galleries, clubs and lounges. Siwon loves to date women and they change almost every week; almost like an accessory. He can be considered as an expert in courting women among the four of them.
Donghae quickly answered “Of course it’s important! It’s about my important love life!”
Sungmin and Siwon both looked at Donghae with silence and then Park Jungsu added while still reading through the menu “Give Donghae some of your love advices. Seems like he’s been lacking attention from women lately.” Then both of them suddenly broke into laughter.
“Yah! Hyung! How can you put it that way? I wasn’t really deprived from attention lately. I just don’t get as much attention as you guys do. However, I did manage to get someone’s attention today, remember hyung?” countered Donghae.
Everyone drew their attention on Park Jungsu and he looked up, “What? You mean that crazy woman? I didn’t even see her face. And because of you, we were sucked into a dangerous car chase! I better not see her or even her car ever again!”
“Wow! Hyung, you only met her once and you’re already all angry? She must have left a deep impression on you,” Sungmin laughed and turned to Donghae, “Not to mention it caught Donghae’s eyes too.”
“Yes, usually Donghae hyung only has eyes for his cars. So is she pretty? I would like to meet her,” said Siwon who was leaning back on the sofa with his arms spread out on the back and legs crossed.
“Ani, I only got a quick glimpse of her. But I remember what car she drove and man! She has some skills in driving.” Donghae responded excitedly.
Siwon smiled while Sungmin chuckled and said “No wonder she caught your eyes. But Donghae, do you just find girls with good driving skills attractive? Or did you manage to find her attractive by just getting a glimpse of her?”
Donghae in response told Sungmin and Siwon about the incident that happened in the morning and later explained how he and Park Jungsu were being chased by the same car in the afternoon. Both Sungmin and Siwon took interest in Donghae’s story and the more they discussed; the more it stirred up their curiosity to meet the woman.
Park Jungsu on the other hand just sat there alone while the three continued in their discussion. He thought to himself “What’s there so much to talk about regarding that crazy driver. Donghae only got a glimpse of her and already has so much to talk about. What’s going to happen when he sees her in real person?”
Park Jungsu was subconsciously drawn into deep thought about the woman from this afternoon until he finally came to his senses and asked himself “What the hell am I doing? Why am I wasting my time thinking about this woman when I don’t even know her; let alone not even know how she looks like.”
“Maybe I should be on the lookout for that woman again, you know? Like trying to get a better glimpse of how she looks like.” Donghae told the others.
“Tell me you’re not serious Lee Donghae. Are you a stalker? You actually want to meet that crazy woman again?” Park Jungsu asked Donghae with disbelief while shaking his head.
“Wae? I can’t? I’m really curious on how she looks like in person,” argued Donghae.
Siwon and Sungmin sat there enjoying the argument that’s going on between Park Jungsu and Donghae.
“Hyung, just let Donghae do what he wants, you know he won’t give up until he settles his curiosity,” said Sungmin who is siding with Donghae since he too was curious about this woman that Donghae is all enthusiastic about.
Then Siwon suggested that Donghae take a picture of her when he comes across that woman. “Hyung, make sure you share the picture with us when you have it, okay?” to which Donghae nodded excitedly in agreement.
Park Jungsu couldn’t believe that both Sungmin and Siwon are encouraging this act and shook his head in dismay. Later on, the four of them continued into the night and enjoyed themselves at the lounge.
“Yes, see you tomorrow. Rest up tonight. Tomorrow’s gonna be a busy day,” Sora responded with a tiresome look. Melissa gave Sora the ‘fist’ gesture and whispered “Fighting!” from afar, to show her support. Sora smiled at Melissa and signaled her to go in.
Victor continued driving Sora around. Sora was in her own world and trying to work out the things she has to do for tomorrow and the days ahead. She was in deep thought until she suddenly felt the car stopped, which is when she snapped back to reality.
