Following morning as promised Ye-Jin slept-in; she had the help from the cold which she had successfully caught by being out in the cold during the night. She had felt terrible when she had woken up because of her blocked nose and clogged throat. Accompanying them was a little headache but the ailment wasn't enough to keep her bed-ridden.
She felt better as soon as she had carried on with her chores around the house. She looked at the calendar and saw the bold red-writing on the current date- courtesy of her mother:
"Clean the house."
The reminder was enough to get her started after having breakfast. She knew that her parents would visit her the next day so she had to keep the house neat and squeaky clean for them. She spent most of the afternoon cleaning her small house.
It wasn't a huge feat as she always made sure that her place was nice, clean, cosy and good. It was a promise she had given to her mother when she had moved cities for her work- she would be responsible. The daughter of the owner of the chain of resorts along the beaches of the country was currently living in the small house, in the huge city as an insignificant.
What did she do for work you ask?
When Ye-Jin graduated from college she had been given options of pursuing her career in administration or if she had something else planned. She had been sure of what she wanted to do until she became stable enough to grow on her own two feet.
She had confidently told her father her plans. He had disapproved the idea at first but gradually supported her after seeing how dedicated she was. Being her close friend even Aera didn't know about Ye-Jin's lineage. She had always assumed her to be a scholarship pupil. The idea of a rich kid was something else and Ye-Jin didn't fit that description even a pinch.
Ye-Jin had chosen the path of social service- especially helping women and children. She had studied the trend and even interned as a journalist back in the days so she now ran an institute in the city where she worked as a teacher for children who were orphans and disabled.
It was well-known that the institute was owned by Park Hu-Ye and his wife Park So-Jin ran it but in truth, all the administration was carried out by their youngest daughter Park Ye-Jin who stayed out of eyes of media as far as possible.
Being the second and youngest daughter of the couple, she was several times spoken about in the media but as far as they could tell she was kept hidden when in reality she lived in the open.
Ye-Jin was the kind of person who was satisfied with her life; she only wished to do well by others too.
While she was busy cleaning her bathroom her phone rang shrilly. Blowing the stubborn curl of hair out of her face she washed her hands and answered the call. It was her college friend and long-time consultant lawyer, Shin Jay.
Ye-Jin: hello bro.
Shin Jay: hey Jin are you free this evening?
Ye-Jin: why do you ask bro?
Shin Jay: there is someone I want you to meet-
Ye-Jin: are you setting me up on some blind date again?
Shin Jay: Your sister would kill me if I start doing that. She has warned me to stay clear of that topic. "She will date when she is ready, not when you push her" were her exact words.
Ye-Jin: (chuckling) she is right though. How is big-sis doing? She might be angry at me for missing your house warming party.
Shin Jay: she is furious but don't tell her I told you this, she is planning to come to your house tomorrow with mom.
Ye-Jin: big-sis is planning to come here? That's so wonderful.
Shin Jay: (clearing his throat) I will text you the address be ready by six.
Ye-Jin: sure sure. Give big-sis my love.
Shin Jay: sure, I will speak with you later.
