Chapter 2 - Happiness

Kim Tae Sung pushed open the door. And it was Uncle Kang who knocked on the door. Kim Tae Sung leaned back on the wall and asked, " Did they come? "Uncle Kang". He said, "They are waiting for you." in a low voice but hastily. Kim Tae Sung closed the door and walked toward the elevator. While walking toward the elevator, Tae Sung fixed his shirt. Mr. Kang was one of the three men who followed him. He entered another room on the next floor. A man from Mexico, sitting on a chair around a table. He was looking at the night view of Seoul city through the glass window. He was in his fifties. Two tall men are standing behind him, looking straight. Kim Tae Sung bowed his head and sat on the chair opposite the man.

"Can we talk about the deal, Mr. Carlos?" Kim Tae Sung asked. Carlos threw a packet of cocaine on the table. Kim Tae Sung took and opened the packet. He took a pinch of powder from it and tasted it. He nodded and told Carlos, "Start exporting it next month... and anything else?"

"What about the partnership in your company?" Carlos asked.

All the affairs of the company are controlled by my father... and I'll tell him about you. wait for some months... " Kim Tae Sung replied.

While replying "Okay, Mr. Kim'' Carlos gave a shaking hand to Kim Tae-sung. Tae Sung leaves the room with his men. While following Mr. Kim, Mr. Kang said, " Your father wants to see you." He told you to come home. "

Kim Tae Sung looked upset and asked suddenly, "For what?"

"I have no idea, Tae Sung," Kang Young Chul replied with a quiet face.

They got into the elevator, and Kim Tae Sung looked distracted.

Riya opened the email and downloaded the result. She was not nervous. She is not concerned about failure... because it has become a habit for her.

She looked into the result and became astonished by it. She zoomed in on her name and looked again.

The one thing that came to her mind was how she could convince her parents. She is certain that it will cause a commotion in the house. But she decided to go ahead with the internship because it's a fully funded internship and she will never get a chance like this again.

At the time of dinner,

''I've got a chance to do an internship in Korea. Can I go?" she asked.

Her parents raised their heads and her mother shouted "what...? Don't even dream about it... "

"I want to go... and I will go!" she said loudly and started crying. Crying is the first way to get their permission. But they never changed their opinion. She ran to her room after yelling that. She tried hard to convince them for several days. She even starved for a couple of days. On the third day, her father brought chicken. The smell of ginger, garlic, chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and masala powder dispersed in the house. Her stomach was making sounds and her salivary glands were giving signals. The smell of the curry her mother made was so tempting. So, he wound up her show of satyagraha.

After lunch, while she was lying down on her bed preparing for a nap, her father came into her room... And he said, in a stiff voice, "Don't expect that I will spend a single rupee on that internship and your travel expenses." She was very happy, and finally, she got permission. She understands why her parents were initially opposed: they were concerned about what their neighbours and relatives would think if a girl travelled alone to another country. And she completely hates toxic people. Those neighbourhoods care too much about other people's businesses. They have some outdated opinions, like "Girls must marry before their thirties..." It's not safe for a girl to travel far alone... But sometimes... she too cares about other people's business, and she also has some weird opinions about love and marriage. She also listens to the arguing of neighbours and enjoys it.

She doesn't care about what others are thinking about her. She wants to become self-reliant. So, she doesn't much like a series of cute female leads. She likes characters like Yoon Sae Bom in the drama "Happiness." Yoon Sae Bom is a formidable woman, both mentally and physically, and no one dares to cross her.
