CHAPTER THREE
SUNG HO CHANG’S POV
**three days later**
Ever since that day, Min Joon has not called or texted me and neither have I tried to call or text him.
Loud door sound, looks up and it’s Min Joon rushing in the office as usual, but did he come here to tell me off?
Before he starts a commotion, I will ask him to leave, “Min Joon please come some other time right now am in a meeting”
He pauses looks around, “Who you having a meeting with, your thoughts?” he laughed and approached me with an excited look.
“Dude guess what I did for you?”
He’s acting as usual, maybe he wants to pretend like that conversation did not occur and if that’s the case, I might as well do the same.
“Am not good at guessing, just say what you want and leave” I turned away from him
“Oh then does that mean, I can have the sweater?”
“Give it back you rascal” I yelled as I charged towards him
He threw the sweater at me, “I have no interest in such clothing”
Did he just come to give me the sweater?
He smiled and said, “I have a way to find your boy from Friday night”
I stared at him deviously, coming from a guy who’s rarely in his own office and did no work. Can he even come up with an idea to track someone?
“Trust me, I came really do it” he approached me “Dude I know people who know people, if that guy exists and he’s in this city I will find him in a day”
I gave him a skeptical look, “Listen, I will give you that guy’s details by tomorrow” he told me firmly
If he’s trying to help me look for the Man from Friday night, does that mean he is okay with me being gay? I stared at him who was anxiously waiting for my response.
“Fine”
“Really, don’t worry dude I won’t disappoint you but I need a favor from you in return”
I nodded, “You need to invest in my side venture sponsor my tour”
“What?” the side venture he’s talking about his him playing in a band and the music is so bad it sounds like gunshots.
“Yes please, you know my parents froze all my accounts” he said as he curled him lips with his hands together.
“That’s because you wasted your money on those stupid concerts, who on earth sponsors their own concert and pays people to attend?!”
He pouted for a while and said, “Me!”
I laughed so much till my throat felt dry, it felt like we were back in our high school classroom and Max was busy cracking daddy jokes.
He looked puzzled, “Man you haven’t laughed like that in years, I missed that laugh” he also started laughing till the my phone rang
I answered it,
‘Sir they is an urgent invitation for you from the Ho family, can I deliver it to you now?’
The ‘Ho’ are a family of real estate giants that rule the entire city of Busan, what are they doing in Seoul?
“I will get it on my way out”
‘Uhh Sir the invitation came with the young master of the Ho family, he insists to hand it over to you personally’
“Who does he think he is?! Tell him to leave now! Me and Mr Chang have business to discuss!” shouted Min Joon and ended the call.
Just then we heard some commotion outside and the office door was opened with so much force that it made a loud noise.
“Sir we tried to stop him but he couldn’t take no for an answer” said Secretary Seo worriedly
I stood up and walked towards secretary Seo and the young master of the Ho family.
I gestured for Secretary Seo to leave, “What brings you to my humble office young master?”
He just stood there staring at me without saying anything
“Is he deaf?” asked Min joon “Hello hey snap out of it” he said as he snapped his figures and waved to the young master of the Ho family.
He snapped out of it and quickly composed himself, “Uhh…. i…” he paused for a while looked away from me.
“My name is Ji-hoon Ho, am the youngest son of the Ho family” he introduced himself
I looked at Min Joon who was staring at Ji-hoon oddly.
He took one step at a time till he got where I was and said as he took out a letter from his woody’s pocket.
“Here this is an invite to noona’s birthday” he said timidly
Min Joon snatched the letter and read it, “Ae-cha, a loving daughter uhh” he handed the letter to me.
“Thank you, you may leave” I told him as I walked back to my sit.
He just stood there while fidgeting, “Is there anything else Young master?” I asked him
“Uhh ... I would like to know if you’ll attend?” he asked
Almost Immediately Min joon shouted, “Yes we will”
He bowed and left.
”why did you say will attend?”
“Its business”
They is no party Min Joon wouldn’t want to attend, using business as an excuse well that’s new but its true it is business.
I nodded in agreement.
*TIME SKIP
*THE DAY OF THE PARTY
They were a lot of people at the party, most of them knew me but I did not even recognize any of them except for the members of the Ho family.
Secretary Seo made me memorize their faces yesterday.
(T:N: seo or seo Joon are one and the same).
“Good evening Mr. Chang, what a present surprise” it was the head of the Ho family Ho Mingyu and his wife Mary Stevens.
I bowed, “Thank you sir for your invite”.
“No, my dear boy you’re always welcome to our home” he said as he patted my back, the man had some strong hands.
The wife said something to him in his ear, he looked at me and smiled. I did not feel like I will like what was going to follow and I was right.
“This is my wife Mary Stevens, she’s American and that’s my son Ji-hoon” he pointed at Ji-hoon who was coming down the stairs.
He rushed to where I was and grabbed both my hands, you really came hyung”, he said excitedly.
Hyung? I don’t remember giving him permission to address me as such.
“Oi would you look at that” exclaimed Mr. Ho, “I did not know you two are already this close”.
“Yes dad hyung and I met twice already”
Met twice? I don’t remember seeing Ji-hoon twice, I only remember him the day he came to deliver the invitation.
“Very well, my boy Sung ho, be my son’s mentor, he is interested in the business world. And I would be happy if someone I trusted was teaching him”, Mr. Ho said
I bowed and said, “Sure thing sir”
He pulled his son and me closer to him and said as he patted both our backs.
"Yes, you boys are the future of both the Ho’s and the Chang’s empires, share ideas since you’ll be working with each other in the future”.
“Later on you’ll meet our daughter
Ae-cha, did you know that her name means lovely daughter?
That daughter of mine makes me proud always” he kept bragging about his daughter.
I even forgot the reason I was there and Ji-hoon and his wife did not seem to enjoy hearing him brag about Ae-cha.
“Hyung” Ji-hoon said “am going to get you a drink” and he left.
Thank you god, glad he’s gone, he was too close and I did not like it. I excused myself from Mr ho and my eyes looked around for Min Joon.
Did that i***t ditch me or is he already here and flirting at some corner?
