Chapter 4
From Me To You"Omma! I'm back."
"Awe waseo....go wash up, going to serve dinner" Taemin's mother replied.
"Dae" 17 year old Taemin replied. He came back from his graduation practice.
*DZZ DZZZ DZZ* Taemin mother's phone vibrated.
"Hello, this is Isabelle"
"I know what you did" said the voice,rusty.
"Hello?" she repeated.
"I know you killed him and you will pay"
The words made a shiver run down her spine. She felt her lips run dry and her voice unable to voice out.
She felt the world go cold. There was a long pause. The voice on the other line didn't say anything.
Only his breathing was to be heard.
"I-...what" then she stopped. Her eyes blinked hard, she was thinking.
"I don't know what you are talkin-ing about and I will report you." her voice trembled.
"Once an autopsy is conducted, its over and you know it" he threatened.
"Give me what you took and it'll all be over...thursday night at you-know-where"
"WH-"
"Wow! seaweed panckes!" Taemin appeared.
Isabelle cut off the phone and placed it deep into her jeans pocket.
"Yes your favourite and this" she brought a small cake with a candle lit.
"saeng il chuk ha ham ni da
saeng il chuk ha ham ni da
sarang ha neun uri Taeminie <3
saeng il chuk ha ham ni da"
Taemin smiled throughout the song. He has finally turned 17.
"Make a wish!" his mom smiled at him, happily.
He closed his eyes, wished and blew the candle off.
"Aigoo Uri Taeminie has grown and too bad I can't make seaweed soup for you" Isabelle smiled sadly.
"Ahh oumma not again. I don't really like it..I'm sorry but your seaweed pancakes is the best!" Taemin got up from his seat and gave his mom a bear hug.
"Omma...gomawo for staying with me. You're all I have left in this family." A tear trickled down Isabelle's eye but quickly wiped it off.
"Don't worry I'll be here for you,always" she held his face in her hands and kissed his forehead.
"Ja~ open the gift! Its not much but I hope you like it" Isabelle brought a box and handed it over.
There was a smaller box inside the box. It was a small whitewashed box, elegant looking like. He opened it to reveal a delicate key.
It had his name engraved on it. Taemin looked at his mom confused.
"Once I'm not here anymore, everything that key opens to.... is yours.
"*TING* 1st floor" voiced the elevator.
Sulli came out to see Taemin. She bowed.
Taemin hand signed her the "come to my office"
Sulli quietly followed.
"I got compliments from Mr.Young-sshi about you on the art gallery job I gave you few days ago"
Sulli smiled at the acknowledgement.
Taemin was about to say something but posed for a moment.
"We're invited to dinner at a Japanese restaurant tonight."
Sulli nodded slowly trying to take in his words.
"I'll text you the address. Be there by 7 pm."
"Dae..oh by the way,sir this is the results of the customer reviews of the gallery" Sulli handed the file.
He flipped through few pages.
"Do it again" he stated.
"Don't you know that this is nothing? I NEED BETTER REVIEWS. Good is not enough. If you can't do your job well hand over your resignation" he continued.
Sulli just blinked, trying to take in his words.
"I will fix it...sir" without another word she left.
*7 hours later*
Sulli biked through the sidewalks of Seoul as fast as she could. It was 2 mins to 7 and she's running late.
"Aye aye it’s a red light light" her phone sang.
"I cant answer that right now! I'm almost there. This impatient...GAH" she huffed, pedalling hard.
"Finally" Taemin saw her fro
