Chapter 20

Until We Meet Again

Yongsun was looking at the window in one of the smaller conference rooms, she's waiting for her parents to arrive thinking about what to say to them. Byul was willing to greet the couple but Yongsun opted to talk to them alone first. The door finally opened

"Omma, Appa" Yongsun walked forward and gave each of them kisses on the cheek

The couple sat and look at their daughter ready to say something

"What is this Yongsun-ah, what are you up to now," her mother said and she just sighed

"Is this about money, Yong? You can have anything now, you don't have to do this" She was somewhat disappointed at her fathers' words

"You think I'm with her because of money?" her father was ashamed when he realized what he said

"I-I am sorry my love, I didn't mean to..." he said lowering his head

"Yongsun-ah, why can't you just be with a man?" her mother said

"Because I love Byul!" she shouted, she can't believe what she's hearing. She leaned her hands on the table thinking that because Byul is a woman the society can't accept their relationship. She is heartbroken that her parents can't understand why she loves her, her tears are starting to come out

"I c-cant.... I will not allow it... I don't want Byul to leave me again... I love her too much" she told herself panting, crying. Her parents were stunned at their daughter's breakdown

"Again? What do you mean?" her mother asks cautiously

"Byul likes me in high school before she left for London" 

"You mean, you know each other before?" Yongsun smiled to them remembering their youth

"Yes, I thought we would never see each other again, that's why I tried living my life but nothing comes close to her gentleness and sincerity" her parents were now realizing the importance of Byul in their daughter's life, they knew that they can't do anything about it now. Ever since Yongsun started working all she did was to give them a better life, they are her priority. They want to give her the happiness she deserves and since Byul is the one that can do that there's nothing they can do but to accept their daughter's decision. They both stood up and hug Yongsun tightly

"I'm sorry Yongsun-ah, We didn't know" her mother caresses her daughter

"I have been close off to the people who want to be with me but I can't bring myself to like them" she explained

"We are going to try hard and understand you Yongsun-ah, we just want what's best for you" the three of them huddled to hug each other

"Come over to the house this Friday lets have a dinner and bring Byul so we can get to know her" She nods at her mother, they kissed her and went to the door but before they closed it her father said

"Don't worry Yongsun-ah, we will try our best to support the two of you" he winked and left.

 

She cant believe her parents' reaction for giving them a chance, she was still in shock when she went to the chairman's office. Byul sensed Yongsun's presence and greet her

"How was it?" she held Yongsun's shoulder trying to figure out her expression

"I-its good, actually" she looked at Byul blankly

"Ok, that's good right?" she asks, then Yongsun's eyes light up

"And they want to meet you this Friday at my parents' house"

"What!" Byul shouted, now she feels that she's gonna faint

Hyejin was working on Crescent when Byul suddenly appeared in her office

"Hyejin, I'm going to make you Chief Operating Officer of Crescent"

"What is this about?" she asks calmly, knowing full well that no matter how harsh Byul's decision might seem the truth is, it's not

"I'm implementing the next step for my company, its already been months and the sales are continuously rising for the phone line so I will make the market competitive," she said like she's making a criminal plot on how she says it

"Are we gonna sell the tech now?" it seems early for her than their original plan

"Yes and I want it immediately"

"So what change?" she said while signing off papers like what their talking about isn't a big deal

"Yongsun" 

"So why not make her the COO?" she asked the obvious

"Because it will lead them to me, I want them to be in the dark on who's the real owner of Crescent"

"What made you think I'm the best candidate for that?" 

"You're my ace Hyejin since you're an Ahn they will never figure it out and its not connected to Dahl since its an independent company originally based in London" 

"Ok, consider it done" Hyejin winked at Byul

 

The next few days were quite busy for Hyejin, she now briefed the security team since she'll be working full time on Crescent. 

"Yongsun unnie will you come to my office" she puts down the phone after she was acknowledge

"You called me?"

"Yes unnie, sit down we have something important to revise" the two of them was very dynamic in terms of managing the company. Byul was the main operator of Dahl, they only help her with scheduling and minor stuff

"Since I'm going to fully operate Crescent for a while, I need you to help me manage it"

"What! Why me?"

"Because we are having a major change" she can't disclose her plans to Yongsun, not yet. So they arrange the Dahl schedules. 

 

They promoted one of the guards as Byul's personal bodyguard, they also hired an experienced personal secretary for her. The lower floor was turned into internal staff floors, Byul set up the staff email for internal affairs, it's a close system that only allows the main staff to access it and its different from Dahl employees' internal system. Hyejin still manages Byul's personal needs but she also slowly making Yongsun learn it too. They access the personal room and teach Yongsun what Byul needs to wear, what brands she uses for everyday

"It's like the work of a wife" Yongsun laughs

"Unnie, Byul is so busy that these simple things should be the least of her worries"

"Yeah, I know but I would gladly like to do this for her" Hyejin smiled knowing that this is the perfect time for her learn these things

"I'm happy you like it" she smiled at her unnie, she also showed her the list of things that she needed for Byul especially where to purchase those. She is so surprised that they are so expensive even the tea price is making her head spin.

"Does she really need something this expensive?"

"Actually no, she doesn't even know what they are but I like her to indulge in some things so she just let me do whatever but now it's up to you" she winked at Yongsun

"Well I will change some things but not too much, we dont want my hamster to be deprived of the best in life especially when she's working hard" they laughed as they go on and sometimes Hyejin is laughing so hard when Yongsun is encountering some expensive sugars 

"Byul told me that the both of you are going to your parents' house" she gossiped

"I'm glad that they did, I thought I was going to have a hard time convincing them about Byul" she sighed

while arranging the things in the bathroom

"Byul is freaking out the other day in the house, she was like a lost kid that she called mother for it" she smiled remembering

"Does your mother approve of me?" she asked nervously

"She didn't get angry so maybe she is" Hyejin assured

 

Byul was looking at herself in the mirror, she doesn't know what to wear and since she is meeting Yongsun's parents at their house, she doesn't have to wear fancy clothes. She grabbed her fitted blue blouse and black slacks, then put on a coat and wear one of her sneakers, she looked like a teenage kid but she wants to be comfortable enough so that she can last the night. Seoho was waiting for her by the door and gave her bags to give to Yongsun's family, some wine and food from Europe that she asked. The entourage followed her going to Yongsun's house, she informed that she's near so Yongsun was waiting by the road of her apartment.

"So are you ready?" ask Yongsun as she entered the car

"No unnie! I'm so nervous!" the older girl chuckled

"Don't worry Byul-ah just be yourself" she leaned and kissed the younger girl

 

They arrived at their destination, they got out of the car and Byul was amazed at how modern their house is

"Wow, their house is beautiful," she said in awe

"Well I bought it when I had enough money saved, we just did a lot of renovations through the years"

"I'm proud of you for doing this for your parents" she looked at her lovingly

"Come on, I think they're waiting" they stepped onto the porch and knocked, Yonghee her older sister opened the door

"Yongsun-ah! I miss you!" they both hugged excitedly and Byul can't resist smiling

"How are you unnie?"

"Oh, same old same old, is this Chairman Moon?" Byul bowed and gave Yonghee her biggest smile

"Yes Yonghee-ssi" 

"You can call me unnie, come on omma and appa are waiting" she ushered the two inside

"I hope you like Korean food since I was informed that you're from London"  Yonghee blurted

"Unnie she lived here" Yongsun rolled her eyes at her sister

 

They arrived at the dining table where Mr. and Mrs. Kim are already sitting with all the different Korean food, they managed to cook a lot and some are ordered for additional options. Yongsun was amazed at the amount of food, it feels like a feast

"I thought we were having dinner, why does it look like we are having a Korean party? Should I have worn a Hanbok for this?" Byul was looking at her attire while pouting wondering if they really should have worn one. 

"Byul-ssi is so adorable!" Yonghee squealed, the two adults suddenly look at her and smiled and her eyes became wide and she was suddenly conscious

"Uhm, hello! My name is Moon Byul E, please take care of me" Byul bowed at Yongsun's parents and the two adults acknowledge her by nodding

"Sit down Byul-ssi and please eat, I hope you liked what I prepared," Mrs. Kim said, Yongsun nudged Byul and they sat down side by side

"Ah, please this is my gift for you" Byul gave the bags to the three of them 

"Wow, thank you so much" Yonghee was ravaging the bag and getting out the contents one by one

"Yonghee, do that later let's start eating"

"Yes, omma" 

 

The whole family was eating quietly, Byul is so nervous that she almost burned her tongue while eating sundubu-jjigae. Yongsun wiped the soup out of and brought some water to Byul, her parents were observing the two and they look so domesticated, they would look like a married couple. 

"Whoa! The food is really delicious Mrs. Kim" Byul smiled while caressing her tummy

"You are one cute lady Byul-ssi, I hope you look after our daughter," Mrs. Kim said glad at the girls' reaction to her food

"You can just call me Byul Mrs. Kim and yes I will take care of unnie" she said shyly

"Aww, I want an adorable girlfriend too," Yonghee said almost pinching Byul's cheeks when Yongsun slap her hands

"Hey unnie, stop ogling and touching my girlfriend" Yongsun warned her sister

"Hmph, anyway I never knew that you were this possessive Yongsun" she teased

"Only with Byul" Byul was looking back and forth at the sisters bantering, she can't help but blush at Yongsun's retort 

"Aigoo! Stop it you two, Byul is going to be a tomato any minute now" Mrs. Kim laughed heartily and Mr. Kim was also on the verge of laughter

 

The night went well as the Kim family and Byul are warming up to each other, the two said goodbye after a while and went back to the car

"Unnie, I enjoyed spending time with your family, they are so fun especially Yonghee unnie" she holds Byuls hand between hers and caresses it

"She's so excited to finally meet you, I hope my parents didn't give you a hard time," she asked worriedly

"No unnie, I think they like me," she said proudly, Yongsun laughed at Byul's confidence

"Say, you wanna sleep at my place?" Yongsun smiled and nodded then the two kissed as the car drive them home.
