AFTER TWO WEEKS

DRIVE TO JEONJU

“Remember what we discuss before?” Jiyong asked Seunghyun.

“Yeah… but… it’s that necessary?” Seunghyun asked with uneasy.

“Yes… and I mean it. That will be our secret. No one would tell if we keep it secret.” Jiyong replied while looking out at window.

“Okay… let me revise again... you want me to pretend as a boss, and you'll be my assistant. We went there just to make sure the guesthouse was closed, aren't we?” Seunghyun asked again.

Jiyong nodded before he reply

“... and no one will know about this... I want to show to appa and the shareholder... I will make a huge different at that place. Not only that, I plan to build a five-star hotel after we close the guesthouse!”

Seunghyun take a glance at Jiyong and he saw him smirks.

“So... how long will want to stay there? What is your plan?” Seunghyun asked curiously.

“Hmm… it won't take long... we just find the reasons to close the guesthouse... besides, I already survey their financial history and I think it's easy for us to make them agree with my suggestion.” Jiyong replied with proud smiles.

“Have you thought deeply? You know this guesthouse is precious for your family. You're trying to destroy your family ancestor.” Seunghyun said try to remind Jiyong.

“Hey, it's already been old... anytime they will close if not me, other people will do. Besides, I'm the heirs and I don't think it's a problem if I want to close it. We need something bigger than a guesthouse... it's a five-star hotel!” Jiyong replied without guiltiness.

Seunghyun sigh slowly before he reply

“If that what you say… then… it’s up to you…”

Jiyong nodded and smiles widely.

Afterward, Jiyong take his phone and starts to plan what could he do with the guesthouse to get shut down.

JEONJU

GUESTHOUSE

Mrs. Kim gathers all the staffs to have meeting on that day. Taeyeon and Hayeon also join it after Mrs. Kim said there is something important that she want to tell.

“Is everyone are here?” Mrs. Kim asked.

“Nae…” the staffs replied.

“Good… so… I'm asking all of you to come because I have something important to tell. Yesterday, I got a call from headquarter... they told me that they will send two people from management team, here. So, I hope this news can give us some hope to protect the guesthouse from being shut.” Mrs. Kim said.

“Are you sure they’re coming to help us?” one of the staff asked.

“I hope so... because it's rare when the headquarters suddenly send peoples here. Besides, after these years, we still manage the guesthouse and maintain good review from the visitors. Perhaps, they decided to help us for better services.” Mrs. Kim replied with optimistic.

Taeyeon look at the staff’s reaction and she can feel the hope that will change for the guesthouse best.

After the meeting, Taeyeon went to approach her mother.

“Omma… about the management people that will come here... how long they're going to stay in here?” Taeyeon asked.

“I'm not sure yet... but, I already ask the staffs to prepare them the rooms. Also, I want you help them if they needed anything here...” Mrs. Kim replied.

“Okay…” Taeyeon said.

“I think them already on the way... we should get ready when they arrive...” Mrs. Kim said before she walks out from there.

Afterward, Taeyeon went to her room to prepare something for the guest.

Jiyong and Seunghyun arrive at the guesthouse at noon. Both of them get out from the car after parked. Jiyong looks around, and he saw an old building with three more building beside it. He noticed the place was surrounded by trees and he could feel the breeze air.

“Hyung! This place will be gem for my five-star hotel!” Jiyong said excitedly.

Seunghyun nodded and smiles at him.

“Look… how old this building... but, they really take care of it nicely.” Jiyong continue while looking at the old building in front of him.

Suddenly, they saw a women walking out from the building and went to approach them.

“Hello… I’m Mrs. Kim… the guesthouse manager. Are you two are people from headquarter?” Mrs. Kim asked.

Jiyong look at Seunghyun and signal him to greet her.

“Ah… nae… I’m Seunghyun… and this Jiyong. It’s nice to meet you,” Seunghyun replied.

Mrs. Kim smiles and then she asked them to follow her into the building.

Jiyong take his bag and then he went to follow Mrs. Kim.

Inside the building, Jiyong stunned with the interior. That place really shows the history of his family hotel business beginning. Jiyong saw his halabeoji pictures with the old building and his father on his teen. Jiyong is smiles while looking at the pictures on the wall until Mrs. Kim approach him and says

“That's the owner picture with his son. This place... it's precious to him. That's why they still keep this guesthouse. I am just glad to manage this guesthouse and repay the owner kindness.”

Jiyong nodded while listening to Mrs. Kim words.

“That’s kind... but, I don't think they still want to keep this guesthouse...” suddenly Jiyong said.

Mrs. Kim looks at Jiyong with uneasy after she heard that.

“Ermm… Mrs. Kim, can we know where our rooms are?” Seunghyun asked to interrupt them.

“Oh… wait… I call my staff…” Mrs. Kim said before she went to the receptionist counter.

Seunghyun approach Jiyong after Mrs. Kim leave.

“Hey, watch out what you say... didn't you tell me this will be a secret?” Seunghyun asked with uneasy.

“I know… my mistake…” Jiyong replied.

Then, they saw Mrs. Kim come back with the staff behind her.

“This is Mr. Lee... my right-hand person, will in charge to take care two of you...he'll show you two the rooms. Have you two eaten? If not, I can ask the staff to prepare the foods.” Mrs. Kim said.

“Oh... it's fine. We just want a rest…” Seunghyun replied.

“If that so... then, we prepare the snack for you two, in case you need it.” Mrs. Kim said.

“That would be nice…” Seunghyun replied with smiles.

“Come… let me show you two the rooms…” Mr. Lee said.

Afterward, both of them went to follow Mr. Lee.

Jiyong enter the room, and he was stunned with the decor. The room is very neat and tidy. The decoration does not show that the building is old and what make Jiyong impressed is the identity of the guesthouse clearly can be seen in the room.

“No wonder the guesthouse still get good reviews.” Jiyong muttered.

Then, he places his bag on the bed before he went to open the curtain to let the light in. Jiyong open the sliding door to let the breeze in, but suddenly, he heard someone voice is singing nearby the area. Jiyong look around, but he didn't see anyone presence. However, the sweet voice attracted him to listen it until end.

“What a nice voice...” Jiyong muttered with smiles.

Then, Jiyong noticed a person is walking nearby the area while she’s listening music with AirPods in her ear. Jiyong sense a familiar feeling while looking at the person. Without seeing her face, Jiyong eyes keep staring at the person diligently. Then, he saw the person start to dancing cutely and unconsciously, Jiyong chuckled at the person's action. His eyes keep continuing staring at her until she's entering the building in front of him.

After she’s disappearing from his view, Jiyong smiles while shake his head. Out of the blue, his heart tickled to go find the person. Jiyong get the room key on the bed and his camera before he leaved the room.

Taeyeon went to the guesthouse café to eat something. When she’s arrive, she saw her mother was there and talking to the chef. Taeyeon went to approach her mother and says

“Omma…! Have you eaten?”

“Yes, dear. Why? You still didn't have your lunch?” Mrs. Kim asked.

Taeyeon pouted cutely and nodded to answer her mother.

“Hey, I already prepare it for you…” Yuri said.

“Great! I’ll go get by myself!” Taeyeon replied before she went to the kitchen.

“Yuri, remember… take a good care of them... if they need anything to eat... just make it. Also, get know if they have allergies...” Mrs. Kim said afterward.

“Arasso, imo… don’t worry… they're also my guest...” Yuri replied.

“Thank you, dear… you may continue your work… and… ask Taeyeon not to disturb you…” Mrs. Kim said before she left.

Yuri went to find Taeyeon after she enters the kitchen.

“Yuhuuu….” Taeyeon shout after she saw Yuri.

Yuri smiles while walking toward her.

“Yah! Your omma ask you not to disturb in here…” Yuri said after she stands close to Taeyeon.

“You think I disturb you?” Taeyeon asked while she munches the fruits.

“O
