HORIZON MAIN BUILDING; CONFERENCE ROOM:

Hongjoong was sitting on an armchair as they wait for the interview to start. After 15 minutes of waiting finally, the interview begins

"Good morning Mr. Kim and thank you for accepting our invitation for an exclusive interview~". The interviewer said with a smile

"Good morning Mr. Yu and thanks for inviting me". Hongjoong said with a smile

"Okay, my first question is as the heir of Horizon, how will you see Horizon in the next 10 years?". Mr. Yu immediately asks in a firm tone

"In 10 years- I hope to have Horizon to advanced as much as possible. In 10 years- I hope to be well on my way to achieving that goal. I've always prioritized commitment to my job- collaboration- and leadership- so I don't think I would have any trouble at all advancing in this field and moving toward that goal. I certainly expect and hope to still be working with this company in 10 years". Hongjoong said. The interview goes on like what they planned for another 15 minutes and before it ends, Mr. Yu finally asks the million-dollar question 

"About the recent article about you, what can you say about that?". Mr. Yu asks, Hongjoong paused for a while before he answers the question

"To be honest with you, I don't want to answer that question to respect my partners' privacy but, here we are... I'm dating and I'm happy~". Hongjoong said with a tight lip smile

"Thank you for answering the question Hongjoong-ssi. What about this another recent news, about your ex-boyfriend Jeremy Choi; he's back, and what are your thoughts about it?". Mr. Yu asks in a quite anxious tone

"Nothing". Hongjoong politely replied with a short answer

"I have nothing to say about him. Is it done?". Hongjoong adds up

"Yeah, we're done Hongjoong-ssi. Thank you for your time~". Mr. Yu said and Hongjoong never wastes another second as he stands up from his seat and is ready to leave after some photo-up.

The interview has finally ended and Hongjoong kind of dislikes it especially when Mr. Yu brought up his ex-boyfriend Jeremy. Hongjoong couldn't wait for this day to end, it all started sour with that interview, and later on, he'll be seeing his brother and join them for a family lunch. Hongjoong heavily sighs because he feels tired already when it's just only 10 am!

PRESIDENT'S OFFICE:

Hongjoong was being escorted by Mr. Sanada to her mother's office for their "family lunch". When he entered the room her mother and brother were already seated and Hyunjoong immediately faces him with a smile

"I thought you would never come~ I'm so happy to see you again, Hongjoong-ah~". Hyunjoong said as he greeted his younger brother but Hongjoong just nods his head, acknowledging his hyungs presence before sitting on the left side of his mother facing his hyung which is seated on her mother's right side. Mrs. Kim just purse her lips upon seeing her younger sons' attitude towards his eldest son

"Now that you're here let us eat our lunch before it turns cold. I prepared both of your favorites so... eat with your heart's content~". Mrs. Kim said with a small smile then she signals to Mr. Sanada to start serving the dishes. The lunch was awkwardly silent and tense but Mrs. Kim decided to speak up to somehow lessen the tension, but not exactly

"So, how was it Hongjoong... I've heard that you had an interview this morning?". Mrs. Kim asks in a quite concerned tone

"It's okay but I kind of hate it". Hongjoong said in a firm tone. Mrs. Kim and Hyunjoong both stop eating and face him with a questioning look

"You... kind of hate it?". Mrs. Kim asks with a tight lip smile

"At first it was all okay when Mr. Yu was asking about business-related things...but when he starts to ask things about my private life... it ruins the mood". Hongjoong said after he finished his food while Hyunjoong was silently listening to the conversation 

"You shouldn't have accepted the interview in the first place if you hated it whenever they ask you about your private life. Of course, they'll never miss the chance to ask about it!". Mrs. Kim said in a matter of fact tone

"I already know that they'll be asking me about the article but, bringing up Jeremy... it's too much". Hongjoong said in a quite frustrated tone. Mrs. Kim rolls her eyes upon hearing her son's ex-boyfriends name

"Did you confirm it already that you are now dating that guy?". Mrs. Kim asks with a sneer

"I do... and I hope that they'll stop snooping ar
