Chapter 5 - Settling In

"Please follow me." A woman smiled at Mitami as she walked from the concierge table over to him. 

Mitami nodded and followed behind the woman towards the elevators.

The two entered a vacant elevator and went up to the 4th floor. They had gotten off the elevator and the woman had started to give him a short tour of the facilities that they were passing through, a gym, an indoor basketball court, and an indoor pool before heading towards a lavishly decorated hallway and got on a different set of elevators. 

"How come we couldn`t just use the elevators from earlier?" Mitami asked as the woman pressed the button for the 25th floor.

"Sir, It`s because that elevator is for the main hotel and for the hotel guests, while the elevator we are currently in are for the tenants who live in the apartment and suites building." As the woman explained the elevator opened up at the 25th floor. 

The two walked out onto the hallway and was greeted by a lavishly decorated hallway. The hallway ended at a mahogany door with a tree carved into it. The woman grabbed a pair of cards and tapped it against a blacked out surface near the wall. A clunk sound before she pushed down the handle and opened the door. She stood by the door before handing over a pair of keycards to Mitami.

"Here are your keycards Sir, If you lose one there will be a small fine but there will be a replacement given to you at anytime should you lose one. Penthouse guests/apartment owners such as yourself have free access to the buffet area down at the restaurant and can also access the pool and gym at anytime but please notify the concierge if you wish to do so." Mitami took the keycards from her and nodded before reaching for his wallet and pulling out 200$

"Here`s a tip for your hard work." The woman smiled and thanks Mitami before she left the room closing the door behind her. Mitami walked inside and found himself in the living room portion of the penthouse, A widescreen tv, a large sofa, a reclining chair, and a wide mahogany table with a chessboard embedded into it along with amber carved chess pieces. He reached down and picked up the knight and marveled at it before putting it back. He`d glance to his left and looked down the hallway before glancing at the kitchen. 

He walked by the kitchen and saw that it was full of appliances which confused him as he remembered his conversation with the worker, shaking his head he looked down at the hallway and glanced at the doors. Walking over to the closest door to the right he opened it and saw some canvases and easels set up with painting materials safely put in a see through cabinet. He then closed the door and checked on the rest of the rooms.

The farthest most room was the master bedroom with a king sized bed and a walk in closet and a bathroom. The door on the left side was an office type room with bookshelves, a large oak desk, and a leather office chair.

To the farthest most right room was a gaming room of sorts, There was a large screen tv with two consoles placed beside each other and controllers beside them and a gaming pc decked out with two extra monitors and a smaller monitor above the one on the right. 

This confirmed his suspicion that either his father or his mother had a hand in decorating this place and he just smiled.

The farthest room to the left was turned into a music studio, it was clear that the room was a laundry room before but was refurnished to look like a small music studio with a bass guitar, a piano, and violin inside a sound proofed room.

As he left the music room there was a loud ding sound coming from the door, walking over to it and before opening he checked through the peephole to see Mian and Yina standing at the door carrying a box. He immediately opened the door and took the boxes from both of them and set them on the floor, "How do you like your new place?" Yina asked as she walked inside followed by Mian.

"I`ve just checked the rooms and I like it, but Aunt can you tell me who had a larger influence in decorating the place?" Mitami asked Yina chuckled as Mian went into the hallway and started looking at the rooms, "Well most of it was done by your mother but your father had a hand in the studio and office."

"I guessed as much, The office is just a blatant copy from the office back at the house and the studio is somewhat the same as well then as an added bonus even the books are the same!" Mitami exclaimed and then followed it up with a chuckle. 

Mian walked back from hallway with a sour face before walking up and just started lightly slapping Mitami`s shoulder.

He started to block her slaps with the back of his palms and look at her trying not to laugh, "What do you want you crazy woman?" Mian just pouted and just started to increase the speed of her slaps while Yina just stood there amused for a moment before breaking the two apart. 

"All right you two break it up" She spoke with a stern voice and Mian shrank beside Mitami.

"Ah right, Mita there was a parcel for you outside your room one of the workers must've left it." Yina walked out of the room and grabbed the box before placing it on the counter of the kitchen

"I wasn't expecting any deliveries" Mitami spoke as he walked over to the counter Mian following behind him.

Mitami grabbed a box cutter and cut open the tape, slowly opening the flaps of it, It was two pairs of the school uniform and the P.E uniform

with a note inside.

'I had someone to pick up your uniforms and paperwork for school, I hope you enjoy your new school young master.

Jin

P.S: It was your mom's Idea I'm just the middleman.'

"Looks like Uncle Jin asked someone to pick up the uniform, Why do they look like they`ve been spray painted pastel blue." He picked up the polo and looked at it carefully before sighing and putting it on the sofa before pulling out the P.E Uniform then placing it down beside the polo.

"Mitami, I`ll get going now, I have to attend a shareholder`s meeting quite soon." Yina spoke as she dragged Mian by the ear outside the penthouse. Even after the doors close he could hear her shouting in pain.
