Joo won drives home in his car
Thinks
"What would have been the reason for Mr.chairmans to call me?
I just missed a chance to have dinner with..
Anyways let us plan something tomorrow
I don't know what is in store for me at home by my dad
Joo won stops the car infront of his home
He looks at the cars at the parking
He enters home
His dad is seen sitting with a bunch of people,dressed up in expensive suits
Joo won scoffs
Thinks
'I had this instinct,he had arranged for a business meeting over dinner"
Chairman:"Come my dear son"
Joo won goes towards them
He sits on the couch
Chairman:'Gentleman as you know he is my son and CEO of INTELLEKT GROUP'
A gentleman wearing black suit responds
"oh,your son doesn't need an introduction,he is one of the most influential CEOs of our country at such an young age and within such a short span of time"
Chairman smiles
The gentleman continues
"genes…he has truly inherited all your competent business traits…"
Chairman laughs
Joo won looks little uncomfortable
Chairman points his fingers towards the man in black suit and tells Joo won
"Dear,he is Mr.Lee Eun Chang,the head of one of the biggest social media platforms in the country"
Joo won shakes hands with him
Joo won:"nice to meet you sir"
Lee Eun chang:"Same here youngman"
Chairman:'As you have been working on marketing our new version of the game ,I thought meeting Mr.Lee would be helpful for it"
Joo won looks at chairman to comprehend his ideas
Chairman:'As you know his platform is the leading social media platform ,an alliance with him shall be a win win situation for both of us,what do you say Mr.Lee?"
Lee Eun chang:"Oh it would be a great honor to be able to work with you and your company "
Chairman smiles
"What do you think joo won"
Joo won:"yeah that's a great idea,he owns the most dynamic platform with young users.Hence it would be great if we could promote our game there"
Chairman:"I know you would love the idea"
Joo won looks without any expression
Chairman looks at the gentlemen around him
"Let us have dinner together"
Lee eun chang:"Sure"
They all start having dinner
Chairman:'Mr.Lee ,you would want to know more about the game version and similarly,Joo won needs to get information about how to use your platform for marketing"
Lee Eun chang:'don't worry sir,our team will contact Mr.Joo won tomorrow"
Chairman:"great"
Joo won (thinks)
How I longed to have a dinner with some smiles and glimpses of someone
How did this end up being a business meet
Ah…anyway..
Lee Eun chang:'young man,you seem to be engrossed in some thoughts"
Joo won looks at him
"I was thinking that's a great idea to have our teams meet and get to know eachother"
Chairman:"It is also a great idea if we could have a family dinner,next time Mr.Lee"
Lee Eun chang:"yeah I was also thinking about the same,let our kids get to know eachother"
Joo won looks puzzled
They finish their dinner
Lee eun chang:'Had a great time"
Chairman:"Same here"
Joo won:'nice to meet you"
Lee eun chang:'Looking forward to meet you"
Joo won smiles,sends him off till the parking lot
Joo won comes inside
Chairman:"joo won,come here"
Joo won goes to him
Chairman makes him sit
"I have decided that our bond with Mr.Lee is going to be beyond business"
Joo won:'What do you mean?"
Chairman:'Mr.Lee wants his daughter to be married off in a well respected family like ours,so I have decided"
Joo won interrupts
"how could you decide?'
Chairman:'Don't dare to talk back to me"
Joo won's mother overhears the conversation rushes towards them
"what's wrong with you both "
Chairman:'look at this brat ,talking back "
Joo won's mother:"Honey,calm down..joo won go to your room"
Joo won stares at chairman
Joo won's mother:"I told you go to your room"
Joo won leaves for his room
Joo won takes a vase,throws it donw,venting out his anger
Joo won's mom hears the noise
Chairman:"Look at his attitude"
Joo won's mom:"Please calm down,let me handle this"
Joo won's mother rushes upstairs
She sees Joo won's finger bleeding
Joo won's mom:"Oh dear"
She gets first aid box,cleans it with disinfectant and attaches bandaid
She looks at him
"does it hurt"
Joo won:"Yes it does,the way he takes unilateral decisions about my personal life hurts"
Joo won's mother:"Dear,he intends no harm,you should understand"
Joo won stays calm
His mother
"he is frustrated by the way you have been spoiling your blind dates and oflate you have stopped attending blinddates too,this has made him restless"
Joo won:"I don't want to go on any blinddate anymore"
Joo won's mother smiles
Looks at him closely
"is that girl pretty?"
Joo won's eyes get filled with the image of sun ri
"yes she is"
Joo won smiles for a while
Then suddenly he comes back to his senses
"who?pretty? I didn't understand"
Joo won's mother holds his hand
"it's ok,I understood"
She smiles
Joo won blushes and feels emabarassed
"mom"
Joo won's mother:"Iam all ears"
Joo won pauses
Joo won's mother:"I can understand your silence too,actually mothers are equipped with this ability as we know our children and understand them even when they can't speak and express"
Joo won listens to her words,nods
Hugs her
Joo won's mother:"Do you love her"
Joo won:"I don't know what it is? Right from the day I saw her,I became a completely new individual…her deep eyes ,her hair,the way she speaks,fills my heads with her thoughts..the way she comforted me,made me realise there could be none like her"
Joo won's mother:"Oh really"
Joo won turns to his mother
"mom,can you imagine me,Mr.joo won going to a lady's home just to check whether she is ok,just to hear from her…I did make breakfast for her..bought groceries for her"
Joo won's mother laughs
"I was thinking about whether my son could be a boyfriend,here he has become a husband material"
Joo won's mother laughs
Joo won blushes
Joo won's mother:"Did you tell her you love her?"
Joo won pauses
Joo won's mother:'What's wrong my child?"
Joo won:"she is so good at comforting people,sharing their pain and making them feel happy but deep down I feel there is a burden of guilt,hurt that she carries that doesn't let her laugh and live her life to the fullest extent"
Joo won's mother:"What is the reason?"
Joo won:"May be we are not that close enough to know and when it comes to this she feels like she wants to maintain her boundaries"
Joo won's mother holds his hands
"dear,we women experience so much pain but you know what's the biggest pain not having anyone to share our pain with..be the man whom she can rely on,be the man with whom she can share her deepest guilts,hurt without the burden or stigma of getting judged"
Joo won:"Do you think she will believe? How can i?"
Joo won's mother:"Efforts…the efforts of a man matters,howsoever small it may be ..it matters….if im not wrong even your small gestures of making breakfast for her or a cup of coffee for her might have had a deep impact on her"
Joo won:"Really?"
Joo won's mother:"Everyone person needs someone to ask them how they are and make them feel good,if you had made her feel that way,she definitely would have had a soft corner on you"
Joo won thinks
Joo won's mother:"And there is no reason that she can reject the most handsome boy on this earth my son"
She laughs
Joo won:"I don't think she is the one who will be getting carried away by beauty,I have to make more efforts"
Joo won's mother:"Then put more efforts,make her feel what you have dee inside you,no matter what express what you feel"
Joo won nods
Joo woon's mother
:'Meanwhile don't worry about what you dad said"
Joo won looks angry
"try to communicate with him your feelings,I know it is little difficult with him but don't you think you have made it even more difficult with your attitude"
Joo won:"Sorry mom but the way he made a business proposal into a marriage alliance without even knowing my opinion or even asking for it made me furious"
Joo won's mother
"I completely understand,don't worry too much,don't think too much,you have been under work pressure oflate,don't add these things to it"
Joo won smiles
Joo won's mother kisses his forehead
"good night,have a good sleep"
Joo won:"Good night mom"
Joo won's mother leaves the room
Joo won sits on his bed
Thinks deeply about the words spoken by her mother
I think mom is right when she said I need to communicate
He lays down on the bed with eyes wide open
Glimpses of sun ri flash through his eyes
The way she communicates
I think I need to express what I feel about her
I think I need to put that "effort" to make her comfort
While thinking about these joo won falls sleep
