South Korea – Gimpo Airport
21 August 2015 3 AM
“Welcome our visitors and citizens we hope you will enjoy your stay here at South Korea” the speakers yelled the girl’s voice in the whole airport where jeongyeon followed by chaeyoung were walking, dragging their suitcases with them, the latter was staring at jeongyeon continually, who became silent and more cold in the last three days.
Chaeyoung’s lips parted when he saw a bunch of guys in black suits walking towards them… they all bowed 90˚ to jeongyeon making everyone stare at them especially the foreigners who were impressed by this fascinated scene.
Jaeguk looked at jeongyeon “May my condolences bring you comfort and may my prayers ease the pain of this loss. I offer you my thoughts, prayers and well-wishes during this dark time in your life. Sir” he said earning a head bow from jeongyeon showing his thankfulness.
“Shall we go now sir?” Jaeguk said raising his head toward the gate, the men made a way for him so he can walk between them proudly, he did, leaving behind chaeyoung who was still In state of shock of what just happened. As he wasn’t used to these kinds of formality.
He sighed and looked around “where do I have to go?” he said, Chaeyoung is an orphan, who lived his life going from orphan to another or just stayed at some friend’s houses, he left the airport and looked around he saw a tall girl with brown hair struggling with her bag he genteelly carried the suitcase for her and put it in the truck of her red Kia Picanto
“Thank you” she said sweetly while putting a strand of her long hair behind her ear, he shrugged his shoulders and smiled at her “are you a foreigner?” he asked
“yes from I am from china” she replied “but I live here, I just arrived from my vacation “
“COOL! “
She stepped closer and looked at his eyes “I really want to thank you for what you did to me, can we go to my house so I can offer you a drink?”
He bit his lower lip, everyone would know what will happen next “sure”
“drive then” she said giving him her car’s key he stared at her as she went to the passenger seat
“A hot girl since my first day in Korea, I am so lucky!” he said hopping behind the steering wheel driving as fast as he can to her house where they can have some FUN.
Meanwhile jeongyeon sighed as he arrived at the mansion's great hall where he found jeyun the butler, gunwoo the chef, the maids, the housekeeper, iseul’s Nanny, gardeners and all the huge mansion’s staff
They bowed to him, they bowed to their next master… but he just walked between them, going upstairs to the sitting room where his mom nara was waiting along with shiwoo the family’s lawyer
As soon as she saw her son standing in front of her, tears fell down over her cheeks while he bowed his head to her showing his respect to her, his tears were forming in his eyes but ‘no! no jeongyeon! You can’t cry’ he thoughts and looked up at her, she walked to him and cupped his face
“He left us alone” she said and hugged him while crying
After few minutes of silent they sat down to talk about the most important thing. The heir.
“since you are the son of yoo joowon, the head of Yoo clan and Yoo’s construction company.. you are automatically the inheritor and owner of everything joowon owns” shiwoo said holding few papers, proving everything he is saying
“Can’t I just stick with the company? Leading the clan is a bit- “ jeongyeon suggested but got cut off by jaeguk “Your father insisted! You need to be the head of the family!”
“There is my uncle he is older and-“
“Your uncle is already making troubles about the heir! And the members of the clan are criticizing you for not coming to the funereal nor the burial! ” his mom cut him off this time “My son is capable! We raised you to be in this spot! There is no way back” she stated firmly
Jeongyeon frowned and laced his fingers together, “who killed my father?” he said looking down in a deep thought, making everyone shut their mouths cause no one could answer
“They are still searching and investigating” jaeguk replied
“Ma’am iseul is asking if he can come out” the nanny said, by hearing his son’s name jeongyeon sat back and stared at the nanny.
“Bring him in sweety” he mom said
Few seconds passed, Iseul came holding the nanny’s hand and hugging a mickey-mouse doll, wearing a red onesie pajama, smiling brightly at his dad ,he stood afar .
Jeongyeon kept staring at him, blankly. Making iseul’s smile fade away in one second
“Jeongyeon!” nara said taping her son’s knee but he got up
“I am tired! I need to rest, Goodnight” he said leaving the sitting room and everyone behind him
Iseul was still standing there hopeless, he thought that he will finally get the chance to hug or see his dad… but it’s all shattered down… even if he is 4 years old almost 5 he had a dream. But now his dream fell in front of his eyes.
He lied in his Mickey Mouse shaped bed…he covered himself with the blanket, crying he looked at a small paper on the wall…
Where ‘모모누나’ (Momo noona) was written with countless hearts and smiley faces he drew and wrote in the kindergarten.
Meanwhile Jeongyeon threw his jacket on his bed and sat there faintly
“you have to be strong ” he said staring at himself in the closet’s mirror
Morning
Momo’s House
She was preparing breakfast for her and her brother who doesn’t seem to be able to wake up, it’s been 30 minutes since she tried waking him up but she failed, she was wiping a plate with the towel when the house’s bell rang making her gasp cause… No one basically visit the two Hira siblings.
She rushed to the door and she found the house’s owner, she greeted him humbly and invited him inside “What do you mean we need to empty the house in term of 30 days?” she said holding a paper.
“I am sorry momo-ssi but I need to sell this house, you were a good renter so I decided to give you one month, I am really sorry” he said
She looked around helplessly, her parents died when she was 18 and mark was 10, she raised him while studying and working, now she is 28 years old and she still didn’t live her life cause literally she was dedicating it to her brother.
She nodded and eventually he left, she doze off, thinking about where she will find a good house like this with a low price, her 1000$ salary won’t even rent a small room including their daily spending. She hid the paper as soon she saw mark coming out of his room wearing his school uniform, he kissed her head and shoved few omelet bites she made and left for school, leaving behind him a hopeless and helpless sister.
HILTON GYEONGJU
“Is this right? Will a 34 years old guy able to be the master and the owner of Yoo clan?” a guy yelled in the large meeting room earning some nods out of agreement from the older YOOs.
“YOU ARE RIGHT!” they all agreed and gossiped when the door got open and there came in jeongyeon wearing a black suit, he bowed and they all swallowed their words against him
“Annyeoghaseyo everyone, this is Yoo Jeongyeon, the new master of yoo clan and properties, please take care of me ” he said while looking at them proudly and full of confident.
After few hours of meeting, they were shocked by jeongyeon acknowledged about every single thing they usually do.
“I was wrong when I thought you wouldn’t be able to lead us, welcome sir!” a guy said shaking his hand with jeongyeon who smiled brightly at him
After few minutes he went to the company’s building “Sir we brought him” one of the bodyguard whispered to him before they entered the office “Bring him.” Jeongyeon ordered and sat behind his desk, at his throne.
“I CAN WALK ALONE!” chaeyoung said as he came in, being dragged by 2 guys
“Leave him leave him!” jeongyeon said
Chaeyoung glared at the 2 guys and one of them hit his head
“I SAID LEAVE HIM A
