"Yunho... how did you---?"

Yunho? That name again?

"Sir Henry. It's a pleasure to see you." Mr. Kim Sangwoo greeted. He then nudged me, signaling me to stand up. I immediately complied and bowed at the former. "It's a great honor to meet you, Sir Henry. I've always consider you as my inspiration in my studies." I offered my hand and he was startled, withdrawing a little away from me. "I-- I'm Yuri Goo, sir." I continued.

"Y-you're a Goo?"

"Yes."

"Henry, my boy!" Mr. Goo suddenly snapped from the entrance which made us all looked at him. He then went near Sir Henry and tapped my shoulder. "What's wrong, Henry? It looks to me like you've seen a ghost. A ghost of your past, perhaps?"

"I--"

"Ohh... So you already met him." he said, referring to me. He then stood beside me. "Everyone. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you, my only son and heir, Yuri."

"Hi everyone. It's a pleasure to meet you all." I greeted. All of them greeted me back except for Sir Henry who still looked flabbergasted.

Mr. Goo then cleared his throat, "So... shall we start?"

With that, the meeting has started. It seems Mr. Goo is the one against the project here in Japan as it's hard to handle such being overseas. He'd rather start a project in Incheon instead. Sir Hwang's verdict, on the hand, is about the opening of opportunity to extend business among Japan. Globalization seems to be the main target of Hwang Real Estates. Since that company specializes in residential and hotel estates, the demand for such is unlikely in Japan for now in which, for me, might be the main reason the partnership between BPE and Hwang Industries existed for this project.

Though, throughout the meeting, Sir Hwang looked a little uneasy. He kept on glancing at me from time to time. He seemed to be so startled seeing me, like he's afraid of something. This must be really related to the name he mentioned earlier...

That Yunho... I wonder who he is and how could I be related to him.

After three hours, the meeting was adjourned. Tomorrow morning, a tour to one of Saiyuki's main factory will be held and on the afternoon is the pre-finalization of the contract with them in case everything will be settled.

"We'll have a very long day tomorrow so you better take a rest now." Mr. Goo said as we walked to the hallway of the eight-floor.

"Sir."

"Didn't I tell you to stop calling me sir? What if someone will hear us here?"

"You haven't told me everything yet. I want to be enlightened first before I'll comply with what you want."

"You are really persistent, aren't you?" he chuckled then started to walk again, "Let's go to your room. I will tell you everything there."

---

Delaying tactics. Sure this old man is so good at it.

Look at him. Right after we arrived at my room, he immediately went to the bathroom and stayed there for almost thirty minutes. He said he must've eaten bad food earlier. Then after that, he called each and every food deliveries available out there; Chinese food, pizza, pasta, takoyaki, sort and stuff.

"Do you want anything else? We can ask the hotel for wine or hard liquor too. Which do you prefer?" he asked while looking at the menu available for the restaurant downstairs.

"No, Mr. Goo. I don't need anything. I just want you to answer my questions."

"We'll get there, boy. Let's just eat first."

Aaarrghhhhhh- I swear I'm gonna die in frustration here!

"Alright. I get it, old man. If you don't want to tell me, okay. Just get out of my room. I believe I have already done my job pretending as your son earlier. I'll take a flight to Seoul tomorrow morning."

He then smirked back at me, "Stubbornness sure run in the genes, ehh?"

"Genes? What do you mean?"

"Fine. I'll tell you everything after we eat. I'm damn starving now, boy."

"I mean it. Get out of my room."

"I swear. If I'll break my promise, you're free to go."

*Sigh* I guess I have no choice...

After another thirty minutes, all the food he ordered was finally delivered. Though he insisted me to eat, I refused. I actually don't have appetite due to the fact I'm still left hanging with questions. I swear this old man loves to troll me much.

"You're already done, Mr. Goo. Aren't gonna tell me now or not?" I snapped.

He sighed loudly first then responded, "Alright, alright, you stubborn little boy. Start asking."

"Why did you choose me?"

"I've already answered that already hours ago."

"I want a clear answer."

"It's because I see great potential in you. Isn't that enough of a reason?"

"It's too goddamn shallow! Tell me a sane man who will do such thing, no one!"

"Well, I am."

"You are not counted because you are insane!"

"Boy, I never had any brain damage, disease or whatever. Don't accuse me like that. I'm telling you, that is all my reason. What's more to doubt on that?"

"It's very unlikely. Anyone who'll be in my shoes definitely will have doubts too."

"What are you thinking then? That I wanted a thing from you in return?"

"Yes."

"Alright. Mind share me your thoughts?"

*Gulp*. He's challenging me. Should I tell him straight? Alright here it goes... "Are you doing this in favor of..."

"Of???"

"S--- ?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA YOU ARE DAMN SO FUNNY KID! HAHAHAHAHA!!!" and he started laugh out loud like he's already dying on it while trying to calm himself.

So this just means... "That's not it?"

"Is that what's really bugging you for all this time, boy?" he said, still trying to recover.

I looked down, "Y-yes..."

"I'm sorry to say but I can no longer fuel your fantasies. Haha~ I'm not gay. I love woman. Whether short or tall, y or not, I don't care as long as she's a woman."

"I... I'm sorry..."

"It's okay. Now I understand why you are so hesitant of me for the whole day. Trust me, Yuri. I don't have any hidden intentions why I chose you. As you can see, I'm already old and still I'm single. I never had wife, neither had children who I can give all my wealth. That's why I'm giving everything to you."

"It still doesn't make any sense. I'm a total stranger to you. You should've given your wealth to Sir Shin Mong. He's your brother's son-in-law anyway. At least, that's plausible enough."

"See? That's why I chose you, because you are questioning everything. Even if this benefits you, you are still in doubt. I like your obsession with certainty."

"That's it?"

"Yuri... I'm not the type who thinks of lengthening my family's legacy when in the first place my family is not really a wealthy clan. I possess all of this wealth with only because of my own hardships. So, rather than seeing my business go down the drain with Shin Mong taking over, I'd rather see it grow with s
