When they got home the lights were off which was weird .The house of course wasn't empty with two nannies and a butler .He got of his car and carried his son just in case .It was better to be safe than sorry .His heart was beating wildly not to know what to expect ,a robbery ? murder scene? or just a bunch of idiots ?
His hands reached for the door knob but he didn't immediately open it .After taking a few breaths he opened the door only to be shocked out of his existence .Though the CEO was indifferent he was a human being afraid of certain things no matter how little they were .
He glared at his sick brother ,who is supposed to be diagnosed with mental illness soon enough if he continues with such foolish behavior."Daddy ? are you surprised ?"asked the seven year old kid who had turned his father 's face to look at him.
Turns our the uncle and nephew duo were in cahoots .What happened exactly was that his brother together with his sister and his cousin were in his living room ,the two siblings holding a banner and the cousin a cake. It was supposed to be a surprise birthday party and he was surprised all right actually it was more than that they managed to scare away the little heart of the cold CEO.
Confetti and glitter were all over his hair ,clothes and also his living room .Unlike other people who would be excited he was not in the least excited as matter of fact he was glaring at the childish adults .One who was twenty and a fool who should be in the mental asylum, the other fool his sister who was nineteen but behaved like a she was in her early teen years and the other big fool his cousin the same age as him twenty four .
"What do you think you are doing?"he asked putting his son down.
"Come on bro ,its your birthday ,"said Kwan putting his arm on his older brothers shoulder ,that was instantly shrugged away.
"Plus Ha-Woon wanted us to do this ,"his cousin said putting the cake on the table .
"A kid told you what to do and you being adults you did it ?"Asher asked .
"More like he threatened us to do it ,"mumbled Ara before seating next to his cousin .Asher heard her but could only sigh . A kid threatened them ? who was supposed to believe that? of course him since he knew his brat very well .
What was the point of celebrating his birthday now and knowing his parents they would obviously throw a much grander party but whatever he cared less .Since his son had decided to do this then why not be grateful and enjoy this moment with four big babies .
"Thank you Ha-Woon ,"said Asher smiling at his son.He knew why his son thought of it anyway so the least he could do was be grateful .
"Welcome mom...I mean daddy ,now blow the candles ,"Ha -Woon said grinning from ear to ear .What a thoughtful child .He only wanted to spend more time with his daddy on his birthday even if it was just for half an hour .Knowing his grandparents who loved making every little event grand he might probably not even spend time with him .Not probably but definitely it wasn't the first time and it wouldn't be the last .
That little thought of Ha-Woon moved Asher ,reminding him of him.Ever since they knew each other they would always spend time together on his birthday even if it meant staying up the whole night.
It was three am in the morning probably the first and last time for Ha-Woon to stay up late .While others were asleep and probably tired Asher was wide awake standing out in his room balcony with wine in his hand .Recently he had taken a fancy to wine thus collected just a few expensive rich wine .
He was lost in thought reminiscing his teen life when Ha-Woon appeared when he was just the age of seventeen .He was lucky his parents were understanding and they didn't abandon him unlike someone else who did.Thanks to his family support and love he was able to stand on his own feet and raise his son ,and also finish his education .
Unlike other rich heirs he didn't dare take over his fathers company but rather asked for capital to start his own just in a span of two years.He indeed worked hard day and night and at times got little sleep or no sleep.His parents were not happy about it and thus tried to convince him but he didn't budge.
Within a period of two good years his gaming company was successful and he even went to as far as returning the money he borrowed .Though his father refused to take it back and gave him two options which was either to take over his fathers business if he returned the money or just keep it .Of course Asher wasn't happy about it plus he didn't want to get involved in his father business thus chose the former. Even if he did that there was no escaping his fathers business that soon would be his even if he tried to run away from it.
