Club Twinkle
"Min Jong!"
"Jung Min!"
The two men patted each other's back as they sat on the bar stool. They were best friends since they were kids and practically grew up together. They've stuck through each other through thick and thin. They were like brothers. Jung Min was there to comfort Min Jong at the death of his wife. Min Jong was there for Jung Min during his divorce.
The two ordered a glass of Martini before starting their conversation.
"Thanks for meeting me this early buddy." Kim Min Jong started.
"No problem, anytime. Besides I really needed someone to talk to right now." Hwang Jung Min frowned as he took a sip at his drink.
"Something's wrong?" Min Jong asked with a concerned expression.
"I don't even know if it's wrong. I mean, uhh. Remember the time when I had 10 girlfriends all at once during high school? And the time my wife caught me making out with my secretary? The time I dumped that model for that actress..." Jung Min's list of womanizing ways continues.
"Yeah, yeah. I know and I remember all of them. Have they gotten back at you finally?" Min Jong had an amused expression.
"No. But worst. The gods have punished me. Tiffany, my daughter, told me last night that she... she... she's gay!" Jung Min burst into tears.
"Huhuhuhuhu. My daughter is gay... I can't... Huhuhu!" Jung Min sobbed.
"Remember the time I started locking myself up in the office and drowned myself with paper works after my wife died 15 years ago? Remember the time I refused to attend to Taeyeon's school recitals? Remember the time I refused to take Taeyeon and Minho out to the park? Remember the time..." Min Jong's list of neglecting his kids for the sake of business continues.
"Yes. I remember them all. Huhuhu. But why bring this up now? Your kids are used to it." Jung Min wiped his eyes.
"Well, the gods have punished me too... I can't believe this. Aside from my dream of world expansion for my business, I dream of Taeyeon getting married too. Huhuhuhuhu... But she won't. This morning she told me that she... that she... Huhuhuhu... she's gay!" Min Jong cried harder than Jung Min.
"This is karma. I told you this is karma... I told you we should change our ways... This is karma... Karma, the evil bitch..." Jung Min muttered hopelessly.
"Huhuhuhu. The gods have punished us." The two men cried together while drinking their Martinis.
"Uhhmm... excuse me sir. Could you tone down your voices, you're making a scene here." A young male bartender interrupted their dramatic cries.
Min Jong looked at Jung Min in the eyes.
"Do you think that the gods would be pleased if we offer human sacrifices to them?" Min Jong looked at Jung Min with a serious face, before looking back at the bartender.
"I agree." Jung Min blew his nose on his hanky before looking back at the bartender.
The poor lad scurried away from the two men.
"But seriously though. What should we do now? Our daughters are gay..." Jung Min stated.
"Wait, did you just tell me that our daughters are gay?" Min Jong's eyes lit up.
"Yeah..." Jung Min paused, suddenly his eyes lit up too. "Wait a minute. Min Jong, are you thinking what I am thinking?"
"Hell yeah. Oh gosh. This is better than what I expected." Min Jong smiled widely at his best friend.
"Business partners. And now, in-laws! Bwahahhahahaha!"
"In-laws! Bwahahahahaha!"
The people at the bar stared at the two laughing men as they walked out of the club laughing and singing happily hand-in-hand.
Kim Financial Group Building
"Secretary Choi?" Min Jong called his secretary through the intercom.
Min Jong was the Chairman and CEO of Kim Financial Group while Taeyeon was the company president. Jung Min was his company's CEO. But due to the merger, both of them decided to shuffle the board of directors.
"Arrange a lunch meeting with President Kim and her team." He stated.
"Are you sure this will work out?" Jung Min asked.
"The change in the executive positions? Or their engagement?" Min Jong asked.
"Both." Jung Min replied.
Positive. Now call Tiffany and let's get this ball rolling." Min Jong sat on his office chair and smiled devilishly.
"Alright." Jung Min picked his phone and dialled Tiffany's number.
"Tiffany darling? Come over at KFG Building... Yes, bring your team with you." Jung Min said.
"We're all set." Min Jong looked smug.
"Hehehehe. I'm so happy today!" Jung Min squealed.
