“ MinJin ah!!” Yesung came, she hugged her sister tightly.
“ Oppa.. you look great huh.. “ she look at her brother from head to toe. “ I guess you are still obsessed with turtles.”
“ MinJin ah…” now her brother HeeChul came, beside him is his so called husband. The Chinese man.
MinJin looked at the Chinese guy beside her brother.
“ MinJin ah, meet my.” Hee didn’t finished cause MinJin cut him.
“ Owhhh so this is the guy….” It seem like she’s not impressed. “sah-m-pluh, Je l'aime pas.” She said in French meaning ‘ Simple, I don’t like him.’ The Chinese guy don’t know what they are talking about.
“ MinJin ah.. why are you like that.. I know you will support me right?” Hee hugged her. “ Hannie.. this is my sister MinJin..”
The Chinese guy smiled at her.. she smiled back even though she don’t want too. They went to the living room and there her grandfather is waiting for her.
“ MinJin ah…”
MinJin bowed in front of her grandfather. “ I’m so happy to see you again..” she gave him a kiss on the cheek. “ So why am I here in Korea??”
“ MinJin ah.. we all know that you are turning 22 the next few days. MinJin ah I’m setting you up in a marriage.” The older man said.
MinJin widened her eyes.. and so as her brothers. “ What?? Me? Marriage?? Grandpa for what? I’m too young for that. And hello I don’t even have a boyfriend.”
“ That’s why I’m throwing a party for you.. I already invited the sons of my business partners and I wanted you to choose one from them, the guy that you will marry..”
MinJin can’t believe what she’s hearing. She looked at her brothers all of them had the same reaction, shocked. “ Ahhmm are you joking me grandpa.. those boys.. do you think I will fall for them that easy? Okay lets consider this, the party that will be the first time that I will be meeting them.. grandpa marriage is a serious thing.. if the business is involved to this I won’t.. I’d rather go back to Paris..” she turn her back on them and starting to move away.
“ Young lady, I will disown you if you didn’t follow me..” said her grandpa.
She stopped walking and faced them. “ Then disown me.. grandpa, having a relationship is the thing that money can’t buy.. that thing is too important for me.. why don’t you ask KangIn oppa and Yesung oppa to get married first before you ask me.. Look HeeChul oppa is already married.. why don’t you wait for him to have a child, and stop bugging me about this things..” she explodes. She left the house.
“ Grandpa, why did you do that??” Asked Hee. “ You know that she won’t agree in this plan.. she still young for this..”
“ HeeChul ah, I know what I’m doing.. “ their grandpa went to his room.
“ Hey.. we need to follow MinJin, she don’t know anything here in Korea.” KangIn go out and follow her sister.
But MinJin is too fast.. she ride the bus and went downtown. She was amazed Seoul is different at night. She saw the colorful lights and the establishments. She also see the street foods that she don’t know, she’s like a princess who escaped from the castle and wandered around town. She was hungry and tempted to buy food but she don’t have cash on her, the only thing she have is her black card. She’s looking if there’s a place she can eat using her card as a payment.
“ Excuse me..” the guy approached her.
“ Yes??”
“ Are you lost??”
“ No, actually I’m looking for a place to eat, but I don’t know a place here who is accepting this..” she showed her black card.
The guy in front of her was surprised. “ Ms. Are you insane??”
“ Huh?? Of course not!”
“ Do you know that thing in your hands??”
“Of course I do.. aish.. it’s a black card.”
“ I suggest you should keep that.. there are too many people in here and you just bring that out with hesitation.”
“ I just want to eat..” MinJin pouted.
“ Come with me.. I know a resto that accepts black cards..”
MinJin followed the guy.. the resto is a walking distance from their place. MinJin saw the place is elegant and she like it.
“ There you go.. this is the place.. enjoy your dinner..” the guy smiled.
“ Wait.. why don’t you join me?? Just a simple appreciation.. you helped me…” MinJin smiled.
“ You sure its okay??”
“ Yup.. in fact I just arrived from Paris and I really don’t know that places her in korea.”
“ But you know how to speak Korean..”
“ Yup, my parents teach me.and I’m also Korean. so come on have a seat..” MinJin called the waiter. She ordered for herself and then she asked the guy in front of her to order anything he likes.
“ So… to start up, let me introduce my self first.” Said the guy.
MinJin smiled and she listen to the guy.
“ I’m Kim RyeoWook… “
“ I’m Yun MinJin, nice to meet you, Ryeowook shi..”
“ No formalities, you can call me ryeoWook. You said you are not familiar here in Korea.. do you want to stroll around??”
MinJin’s face brighten up.. meaning, Ryeowook will give her a tour around the place.
“ You will do that for me??”
“ Yup… “ Ryeowook smiled.
MinJin found Ryeowook very cute guy. When their order came, they started to eat and they talk about each other, just telling stories. MinJin told Wookie her life in France. Then wook told her about his studies.
After eating, Wook and MinJin stroll around MyeongDong, they went to the stores. MinJin is excited, its like she is the tourist and wookie is the tourist guide. They went to the Han River after shopping.
“ Oh.. MinJin ah, its already late I guess I should bring you home.”
“ Oh??” MinJin look at her watch. “ Oh you are right about that…”
“ MinJin ah…”
“ E?? “ MinJin saw the Chinese man approaching. “ Everybody is looking for you, its late lets go home now..”
MinJin look at Wookie. “ Ryeowook, thanks for the help and for giving me a tour.. I hope to see you again.. here.” She handed a shopping bag to Ryeowook.
“ What is this??”
“ Just a simple thanks.. I guess you will need that.. “ she bowed and then she go with HanGeng.
“ MinJi ah, when.. when will I see you again??” Wookie asked.
“ I don’t know, maybe one day if I get lost on the street again..” she smiled.
The Chinese man beside her is calling someone using his phone. “ I found her..”
When they reached the car.
“ MinJin ah!” Hee hugged her. “ Thanks Hannie..” Hee gave his husband a peck on the lips.
MinJin frown in front of Hee seeing the scenario that she dislike. “ Just can we go home..”
“ Come on, sit beside me.” Said KangIn. “ You bought many things.. so did you enjoy your shopping??”
MinJin smiled at him. “ Yep. I enjoyed so much, I met a guy.. he’s so nice..”
“ Did umma and appa teach you not to talk to strangers?” asked Hee.
“ He’s not a stranger okay..” said MinJin.
“ So he had a name??” asked Yeye.
“ Yes.. Yesung oppa, can you please stop bringing the freaking turtle outside the house.. you want me to throw that outside the car??” she’s looking at the turtle.
Yesung put the turtle away from MinJin. “ Dang is nice, you should play with him.”
“ I’d rather play with HeeBum and BangShin..” she’s pertaining to the cats of her brother Hee.MinJin thought that she had a weirdest family ever.. HeeChul, who married a guy like him, Yesung the turtle addict. Now she’s wondering what will be his KangIn oppa.
When they reached the house, MinJin went to her room. And she doesn’t want to talk to anyone. She called her mom, and told her that she wanted to go back to France as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, in Ryeowooks place.
“ Hyung.. you are late?? What took you so long?? I thought you are going to attend the dinner meeting with the board members..” KiBum asked, Ryeowooks younger brother. “ Because you are not there, appa is angry he asked me.. that’s why I replaced you.”
“ Good for you, go to sleep now…” he was about to go to h is room. “ Owh KiBumie, thanks…”
“ No problem.. wait up, did you go shopping?? Or did you get some free samples of make ups or what?’ KiBum is looking at the shopping bag that Ryewook’s holding.
“ KiBumie, do you think make ups are fit in this bag? This is too big for make ups.. its not.. I met a girl in town, its her first time in Korea,I gave her a tour and hen she handed me this, saying that a token of appreciation.”
KiBum stood up and go near to his brother. “ What does she look like is she beautiful? you didn’t attend the meeting just to give her a tour around town?”
“ She’s beautiful… come on just go to sleep okay..” he left KiBum while laughing.
“ Hyung!”KiBum followed him.
“ KiBum ah, why??”
“ Here, I forgot to give you this..” he handed the card to Ryeowook. “ Good night..”
Ryeowook, opened the lights and then he sat on his bed, he look at the shopping bag, and brought out the thing inside the bag.
“ A suit…” Ryeowook smiled, he classified the white suit, it seems like he like the suit. “ She knows how to pick a nice clothes. He remembered the moment when MinJin is fitting some clothes at the shop. Now he looked at the card. “Invitation card.. for a party.. at the Kim’s mansion.. the owner of the hotel chains here in Korea..” he sighed.
Same as MinJin, Ryeowook came from a rich family.. their family owns different malls and other factories.. wookie is the president and his brother KiBum is the vice president, at the early age of 24 he can manage their properties very well. But sometimes he’s getting tired of it, he wanted to try being a simple citizen, but still he can’t do it.
The following day, MinJin is really bored, that’s why he asked KangIn to accompany her to the mall, she wanted to spend more money cause of frustration. But sad to say KangIn needs to go to work. She don’t want to ask Yesung cause she knew that they will only spend time inside the pet shop. HeeChul is no available cause he’s at work. That’s why HeeChul asked Geng to accompany MinJin, since its HangEg’s day off.
MinJin keeps sighing inside the car while Geng is driving. she’s listening to her ipod. She admits to herself that she don’t like Geng for her brother.. Hello!? For God’s sake they are both men! And she’s against gay marriage. She expect that her brother Hee will find a very elegant lady, presentable for the family. But she’s shocked to know that her brother is gay.. her grand father did his best to make HeeChul a straight guy but nothing happened. He choose Geng among the others.
“ MinJin ah..”
“ I’m not interested.. just drive..” she said in annoyance.
Geng looked at her.. and then continue driving. “ I know you don’t like me.. but I’m willing to do the best just to earn your trust..”
MinJing is laughing.. the Chinese guy is talking to her with his broken Korean language.
“ I know you are expecting that your brother will marry a fine and elegant lady, but then he end up marrying me.”
“ Its nice to know about that.. but I don’t like you… hello.. I know my brother.. he’s a straight guy, he even dated many girls before but how in the world he met you??”
“ We met in China..”
“ Its obvious, you are a Chinese guy..” said MinJin with sarcasm.
“I’m a board member in your company in China… well you may think that its weird but, when I first saw your brother.. I fall for him..”
MinJin wanted to throw up about the things that Geng keep telling her. “ Look,you are a fine guy, having good looks but,this is really wrong..” she sighed.
“I know.. both men shouldn’t be together.. but my heart is only for him.”
MinJin can see the sincerity in Geng’s eyes. “ It’s natural for me to get worried for my brother.. I just don’t want to see him crying.. just like before, when that broke up with my brother.. he almost kill himself because of that.. he didn’t eat for days and he locks himself in the room.. not talking to all of us..but when I came few days ago.. I can see that he is happy.. I want you to promise..” he look at Geng. “Don’t make my brother cry…”
HanGeng smiled to her. “ Promise I won’t.. so it means we are okay now??”
“ Of course not.. I still don’t like you….” MinJin look on the road.
Geng smiled and then he ruffled MinJin’s hair.
“ Yah! Chinese guy stop that!”
Geng continue driving, while MinJin she remembered the guy she met.. Ryeowook,she’s wondering where he is right now.. when Geng and her are talking about love, Ryeowook suddenly appeared in her mind. She’s bothered, but she keeps recalling the night that they stroll around the town. She wanted to see him again.
MinJin is strolling around the mall. She’s conscious that the party is tomorrow, she wanted to release her stress and her frustration.. she’s thinking about crashing the party but for sure her grandpa will be angry. That’s why she’s in the mall, buying all the things that she like. On her side is Geng who knows that she’s really angry and upset, he’s the one who carries all the shopping bags for MinJing.
She’s buying even the nonsense things.. Geng is laughing.
“Why??”
“ Cause… you know what you are like your brother HeeChul.. when depressed shopping is the only reliever.”
“ Yeah right… I just hate it… why don’t we eat I’m hungry…” she look for a restaurant.
“ Ryeowook shi,you are having a lunch meeting with the other clients today..” said KyuHyun, the secretary of Ryeowook.
“ Again??i thought KiBum handle it already??”
“ He’s attending the other meetings..”
Wookie sighed and then he nods, he was about to ride the elevator when he saw a familiar girl. Walking around the mall. He stopped.
“ Ryeowook shi, we need to go now.” Said KyuHyun.
“ Wait..” Wook look closely to the girl. “Its her…”
KyuHyun look at the direction. “ Isn’t that HanGeng shi, the guy that HeeChul shi married. He’s with a girl.”
“ Owh..yeah I know that guy.. and why is he with MinJin??”
“ Who?? Omo, Ryeowook shi lets go now.” KyuHyun pull wookie inside the elevator.
MinJin and Geng finally found the right resto for them, MinJin wanted to try Chinese cuisine.
After eating, MinJin is tired that’s why she asked Geng that he wanted to go home. She admit it that being with the Chinese guy, her brother in law.. she enjoys it, even his broken Korean.
When they arrived, MinJin saw that the maids and other house keeper is doing some arrangements in the garden. She looked at Geng.
“ It’s for the party tomorrow..”
“ I hope that tomorrow evening, it will rain..” she said and then she entered the house.
Geng put the shopping bags in MinJin’s room.
MinJin went to Yesung’s room. She go near to Dangkkoma’s aquarium. “ Hey, Dang.. I got a surprise for you…” bought a turtle for Yesung, she put it beside Dang. “ Sorry, I know I made my brother upset when I said that I will throw you away outside the window.”
After Yesung’s room, se went to KangIn’s room.. she bought clothes for his brother. Among the three KangIn is the closest to her, maybe because KangIn live in France with her before, and KangIn is always there to buy her all the things that she want.
Last stop is the room of her brother Hee, she knows that Hee and Geng are occupying that room, she think twice before entering the room, she knew that the Chinese guy is not there. She saw him went to the kitchen before. She entered the room.
“ Still the same…”she looked at the pictures hanging around the wall, its their pictures when they are still kids. And of course Hee’s pictures with Geng. “ HeeChul oppa, you really love that Chinese guy.. I guess I really need to accept it.” She put the beauty products in the table. And then on the bed.. she put the suit that she bought for the Chinese guy. Still she knows how to appreciate the effort of Geng.
After that, she go down, she smelled something from the kitchen. “ What was that??” she saw the Chinese guy wearing apron.
“ Hello..”said Geng.
MinJin sit on the chair. “ SO you know how to cook…”
“ Yup.. here.. try this one..”
“ Cookies.. wow… I didn’t expect that you know how to do this..”
Geng offered her a coffee and cookies, and by that they started to talk.. MinJin finally listen to the stories of the Chinese guy. They enjoy their time talking to each other.
“ So tell me…” she take a bite first. “ So did you do it??” she can’t say the word.
“ Do what??”
“ You know that.. the.. AISH! I know you know that.. with my brother HeeChul.”
“ Huh??”
“ Aish!! Do you have mind? You are married to my brother right??” MinJin is blushing. Because of that Geng realize what she wanted to say.
“ Oh.. you mean if we had s-“
MinJin stop him for saying the word. “ Don’t say it! Just answer yes or no.”
“ Yes, we did it.” Geng smiled.
“ MWO???!” MinJin shouted and she cream. “ yikES! Chinese guy you did that to my brother?? I mean with my brother??” she’s punching him on his shoulders.
“ Hey, hey, hey.. stop that..”
“ I can’t believe this…” now she’s laughing so hard.
