"Here she comes. " Soo Min chuckles standing on her feet and walking to the door, by the time they were inside the guest was being entertained by the couple in the living room with gossips and talks.
Yoo Na widen her eyes when she met Soo Min's gaze glaring at her despite the smile she was giving her. "Yeah, mother. It rained and it took time for me to arrive. " Yoo Na speaks bowing her head low in apology.
"Aigo, you are wet as well. Better go change and fresh up. But before you go greet our guests. " Soo Min says taking Yoo Na to the middle of the room and having her stand in front of the guest, "Hello, I am Yoo Na. It's nice to have you here. " Yoo Na smiles cutely at the guest making him smile.
"You are really adorable, you know that?" He says more like a question, she found herself blushing at his comment. "Uh, thank you, sir. " She mumbles bowing her head down and scratching the side of her head.
"Sir? Don't call me sir. " Joo Hyeok says all of a sudden with a serious tone making Yoo Na scared as she felt Soo Min tensing up beside her and her hold against her wrist tightening up, she didn't need to look at Soo Min to guess if she was glaring at her.
"Uh-sorry... um-"
"Don't look scared. I meant you can call me uncle. I would prefer that better. " And with that, he starts laughing out loud, Chan Ho and Soo Min both share a glance looking taken back but they both join him in laughing thinking it would be best at the current situation.
"You... scared me, uncle. " Yoo Na says smiling at the elder while he chuckles softly gesturing her to approach him with his hands. She walks to him and stands in front of him.
"Very nice. So tell me you like that idea right?" He questions with a questioning smile while Yoo Na chuckles.
"Very much... uncle Shin. " She replies making the elder smile.
"And who is he?" He questions eyeing Seokjin from behind Yoo Na while Yoo Na frowns. "He is my brother. " She replies instantly without any hesitation making the couple cough their throat while the Joo Hyeok looks at Seokjin with wide eyes.
"Really?" He questions looking at Yoo Na while she nods her head.
"He might not be blood-related but he is more dear to me. I am lucky to have him as my brother. He is a great person, you might like him very much. " Yoo Na starts complimenting Seokjin and he was already embarrassed as well as happy with the way Yoo Na was giving importance to his presence.
"Really?" He questions again looking amazed at the young lad standing behind with a sheepish smile on his lips, the tip of his ear already red from embarrassment and his head hung low.
"Hmm, he is quite good-looking. You are right... I think I did start liking him. " Joo Hyeok says bursting out into laughter. Yoo Na chuckles joining him, it had been a long since she enjoying talking to someone like this except Seokjin.
"Umm, Yoo Na you should better go upstairs and fresh up. You might catch a cold. " Soo Min says trying to send her away as she didn't like the conversation going on. "And Jin, get back to your work. " Soo Min orders him and he bows his head down and he flees away.
"Mr. Shin, you are really good with kids as well. " Soo Min says pushing Yoo Na further away towards the stairs while Yoo Na turns around smiling at the elder before walking upstairs.
"Nah, it's because she is adorable. " Joo Hyeok says with a smile while Chan Ho clears his throat and speaks, "Who would deny that very face of hers isn't?" He chuckles to himself but Joo Hyeok frowns at the way they mentioned her. Why not our daughter but instead a face?
He shrugs off the awkwardness and smiles, "I always wanted a daughter but before we could have one... my wife passed away. " He says smiling sadly but he clears his throat and stands up.
"It was nice being here. I am looking forward to coming back here and see her again. " He chuckles ending his statement while Soo Min and Chan Ho exchange a glance. Chan Ho also stands up and smiles, "We sure are looking forward to seeing you here with your son. " Soo Min nods her head with a wide smile.
"Sure. I guess I should head back now. Thank you so much for the dinner. " Joo Hyeok says bowing his head while the couple bows their head greeting him back. He then slowly walks to the gate with the couple following behind.
"Have a safe journey back home, Mr.Shin." Chan Ho says extending his hands towards Joo Hyeok who nods extending his hand and gripping his, they both share a handshake before Joo Hyeok turns around and walks to his car.
Once he gets seated all buckled up in the backseat the car drives away from their porch. The couple sigh with a smile across their face. Soo Min turns around and eyes the workers walking around. She returns backs and stands in the middle, "I need all of your attention." She yells clapping her hands.
"I am happy that the dinner went by smoothly. Now enjoy the remaining food prepared as a treat. I grant all of you a holiday for tomorrow. " She says once everyone gathers around, with the news they got everyone exchanged a glance smiling happily.
"Now dismiss!" She says turning around to face her husband who just smiled at her. She walks to him and hugs him tight, "I need to tell you something so should we head to the room?" She questions once she pulls back.
"Of course and I think I know what you have to say. " He chuckles patting her back while she smiles.
Soo Min holds his right palm and brings it close to her, "Of course you would as I am sure we are thinking the same. " She says pecking his hands and pulling him along with her heading to their room upstairs.
Seokjin smiles at the food served on the table for them, he frowns looking around when he sees her nowhere, "Where is Yoo Na?" He questions with a frown.
"She hasn't been around, maybe she is in her room. " One of the maids speaks and he nods his head.
"Aunt Lee, Can you make another serving? I will make her something to eat. " He says looking at the old woman who was serving them food, she looks at him and nods her head with a smile. "Here, go and eat with her. " She says placing two plates on the tray with a glass of juice for both of them, she hands him the tray and he smiles gratefully.
"Thank you, aunt Lee. " He says while she just nods her head, he excuses himself as he walks upstairs. He opens the door and walks in to see Yoo Na scratching her head and trying to study. He widens his eyes at the surprising scene.
"Are you seriously studying?"
