Chapter 28 - The return
The heiress's loveThe day of their return to Korea finally comes. They keep their return as a secret, only their families know that they are coming back to Korea. It has been a year that they disappeared from Korean media so they didn’t expect any welcome from fan or reporter but they got overwhelmed when a huge crowd of fan and reporters are welcoming them in the airport. The fan keeps screaming their name and giving them flowers. The reporters flash their camera nonstop and keep chasing them to ask questions about their sudden disappearing from Korea. The airport security has to help to them to their car.
- It was crazy. I’m so surprised that people still give us so much attention – Ji Hyo brightly says after getting in their limousine.
- I know. I’m so used to our peaceful life in London; coming back here like this is a little bit overwhelmed. – Dong Wook says
- Your disappearing was a big issue for a while. – Their driver says – Reporters kept calling our company to ask about you two and writing all kind of theories.
- Oh really? It’s nice to be remembered right yeobo? – Ji Hyo says while smiling brightly at Dong Wook.
- Of course. I think we should have a press conference to explain our disappearing and also inform them about our wedding. – Dong Wook says.
- Yes, I think we should. – Ji Hyo agrees
- Should we head to your house first or my house first? – Dong Wook asks
- Actually parents from both of your sides are waiting at the restaurant. We are heading there now – Their driver explains
- Oh. That’s great. I can’t wait to see them – Ji Hyo says.
After a little drive, they arrive at Tosokchon restaurant – a famous tradition Korean restaurant in Seoul.
- Appa!!!! Abeonim, eomonim – Ji Hyo politely bows at Dong Wook’s parents and runs to her father giving him a tight hug
- Appa, Omam, Abeonim. How are you? – Dong Wook politely bows at their parents.
- I’m good Dong Wook ah. Thank you for taking care of my Seong-im for the last year. It must be hard on you – Ji Hyo father says
- An-no, Ji Hyo took really good care of me in London abeonim. She did most of the housework. – Dong Wook says
- Really? My daughter did housework? What a surprise. It took 10 maids to take care of her at home and now she does housework by herself. Aigoo. Dong Wook really trained you well, daughter. – Her father teases
- Aigoo … My daughter in law looks much skinnier. Did our Dong Wook give you hard time in London Seong-im ah? – Dong Wook’s mother asks
- Yeah, he made me wake up and 5 to run around the park and made me do all the housework, abeonim, eomonim – Ji Hyo pretends to make a pity face.
- Aigoo, how could you do that to our precious daughter in law? Why didn’t you hire a housekeeper? Wasn’t it hard enough on her to help you with our hotel? - Dong Wook’s father says while hitting his shoulders.
- Oppa, omma, I’m your son how can you are on her side already? – Dong Wook says
- Of course we are on her side. Where can you find a beautiful and smart girl like this? You have to treat her well, arrasso? – His father says
- Oma, it’s ok in-law. This girl needs to learn to take care of her own family. Regardless how wealthy we are, the wife should take good care of her husband, don’t you think? – Ji Hyo’s father says
- N-ne. You are right but our Dong Wook should learn to appreciate a good wife like Ji Hyo too – Dong Wook’s father says
- He treated me really well abeonim. I can’t find a better man than him – Ji Hyo says while looking lovingly at Dong Wook.
- That’s good. Oh well, let’s eat first. I know you guys must miss tradition Korean food that’s why we choose this restaurant. Seong-im ah, eat some ginseng chicken soup. It’s good for your health. – Dong Wook’s mother says while putting chicken in Ji Hyo’s plate
- Thank you eomonim. Please have some too. – Ji Hyo says while putting some chicken on Dong Wook’s mother plate.
- Aigoo, such a loving mother and daughter in-law. I almost thought that Seong-im is your own kid, not me omma. – Dong Wook teases.
- I took care of your for more than 30 years, isn’t it good enough? It’s time for me to take care for my lovely daughter in law. – Dong Wook’s mother says while smiling at Ji Hyo
- Oh right, so do you have any plan for the wedding yet? Ji Hyo’s father asks
- N-ne. We plan to do it next month, in Jejudo. Is it ok? – Dong Wook says
- Next month is good. But why Jejudo? – Ji Hyo’s father asks
- It’s where we first met. – Ji Hyo says
- Oh really? That does seem like a good idea. We should have a beach ceremony like American. That will be romantic. – Dong Wook’s mother says
- N-ne. That’s the plan. We want to use the resort where we first met for the wedding. Is it ok? – Ji Hyo asks
- Of course, that is a good idea. We should book the whole resort for 3 days so our guests can stay their comfortably for the wedding. What do you think in-law? – Dong Wook’s father asks
- N-ne I agree. We should do that. There will be important guests attend the wedding so it is best to have the resort exclusively. – Ji Hyo’s father says.
- Do you two plan to have the press conference about the wedding? – Dong Wook’s father asks
- N-ne we will do it soon since the reporters keep asking us about it in the airport earlier. – Dong Wook says.
- You guys should do that. It will be beneficial for in-law president election too. – Ji Hyo’s father says
- N-ne, you are right. Ah right, thank you for your generous sponsor on my election. It was such a big help. – Dong Wook’s father says
- Don’t worry about it. It is for our kids’ future. Seong-im will be so lucky to have a President Father in-law. – Ji Hyo’s father says
- An-no, we are the lucky one that have a good daughter in law like Seong-im. She will be a good help for our Dong Wook career later. – Dong Wook’s father says.
- Aigoo, please don’t overpraise this silly girl. She has to learn a lot more. – Ji Hyo’s father says and they continue their dinner happily.
Dong Wook and Ji Hyo just keeps quiet and smiling the entire time, leaving the conversation for their excited parents and enjoying their food. They are both happy seeing how much their parents in-law love them. They know they will be happy living with their future in- law.
The next day is their press conference. There are more reporters that they thought. The whole big conference room is full of flashlight. They have to keep answering the questions for 5 hours. Both of them are exhausted after the conference ended especially they still have jetlag.
- Should I take you home yeobo? – Dong Wook asks Ji Hyo.
- No. I’m ok. My driver is here. You have to help abeonim with his campaign right? – Ji Hyo tiredly says
- N-ne but it won’t take much time to send you home. – Dong Wook insists.
- Don’t worry about me yeobo. No one can kidnap me. Don’t worry – Ji Hyo teases.
- Don’t say silly thing! Call me when you are home ok? – Dong Wooks says while landing a soft kiss on Ji Hyo’s forehead.
- Arrasso. Saranghaeyo. – Ji Hyo brightly says
- Saranghaeyo. I will get going then. Talk to you later. – Dong Wooks says while leaving the room
- Later yeobo.
Ji Hyo exhaustedly walks into her limousine.
- Go home please ajussi – Ji Hyo says
- Long time no see Song Ji Hyo. – A man appears from the front sit after the car start driving startled Ji Hyo.
- Ju Ji-hoon? What are you doing here? – Ji Hyo yells in surprise.
- To take back what I deserve. – Ju Ji-hoon devilishly says.
- Ajussi. What are you doing? Why did you let him in the car? Stop the car right away.
- Oh, I didn’t tell you? He is the hyung that kept feeding me your information before. We thought it is about time for us to make some money.
- What do you want to you to me? – Ji Hyo furiously says.
- Don’t worry princess! I will let you go as soon as your father gives us 10 billion dollars. – Ji-hoon says
- Are you crazy? Do you think 10 billion dollars is a small number? – Ji Hyo yells
- It is to a rich family like you. If only you married me before then you wouldn’t have to go through all this princess.
- Are you crazy? I will never accept a thick face conman like you as my husband. – Ji Hyo screams at Ji-hoon face.
- I planned to be a good husband to you since you were a good girl but you disappointed me too much so I have to do this princess. – Ji-hoon smirks.
- You crazy baster. Help! Help! – Ji Hyo keeps screaming and banging on the car’s window
- Don’t waste your energy. This car is soundproof and dark tinted. No one can help you. – Ji-hoon says while covering Ji Hyo mouth and nose by a white towel that has anesthetic. Ji Hyo is immediately unconscious. “Dong Wook, please rescue me” – She mumbled before passing out.
