"Yes, Mrs Kim? I heard you need to see me…."
Mrs. Kim turns around with the chair from facing the view of Seoul City in her office view.
She smiles sweetly.
"why not have a seat, Mr. Lee"
Mr. Lee gives a respectful bow, as he then pulls the chair out from her other side of the desk, sitting on it.
"Yes, I have wanted to see you…" Mrs. Kim answers to his question.
"This is regarding about your job…"
"Dear me, Mrs. Kim, I have not did any mistake isnt it?" Mr. Lee sounded a little worried.
"no no" Mrs. Kim shakes her head, "of course you didn't make any"
Mr. Lee was a little worried because his whole family is depending on his job.
His job salary is great, enough to spare extra for Tiffany's University monthly fees, Sunny's yearly school fees, his wife's household for every month and the rest was for his two sons education fare. With his car rental and house payment, paying the side electric and water billing, he still have a little left over with his salary. So he is very thankful of having this job, its been 10years.
"you have been working with us for about…10 years?"
"yes, Mrs. Kim.. I am very lucky" Mr. Lee bows again, thankful this time.
"I can see how happy you are with your job…"
"yes-"
"you have two daughters as far as I know.."
"ah, yes. One of them is still in high school while my other daughter is in University" he answers proudly.
"very good…." Mrs. Kim nods her head several times, "are they doing good?"
"yes, good indeed, with the income I have, that is why I am thankful about this job..and I hope to still continue on working here…if…its possible"
Mrs. Kim smiles slyly, "of course, it can be possible..we need people like you for things to happen for good"
Of course, Mrs. Kim has her other meaning behind what she said, but Mr. lee thought it was a praising from his boss's wife, "thank you"
"that is why, we decide to raise your salary..for a better easier life..for you and your family of course…especially your daughter, who is in the University…she must be…needing a lot of money…"
"oh yes…she even works part time for it…"
"poor girl…but then, with the raise..things will be easier, isnt it?" Mrs Kim smile, patting the back of Mr. Lee's hands on her desk.
"thank you so much mrs Kim, thank you" Mr. Lee stands up and bows continuously with the continuous thank you coming from his heart to Mrs Kim, who is obviously on a plan.
"how is the spaghetti, Jessica?" Mrs. Kim wipes her mouth with the napkin.
Jessica nods her head softly, "it's delicious, Mrs. Kim"
"You should come by here more often from now onwards" Mrs. Kim announces.
"that is also only if Taeyeonnie don't mind" Jessica look at Taeyeon shyly.
Taeyeon who keeps herself busy eating, trying to finish her food faster, shrugs her shoulders.
Jessica smiles a little, while Mrs. Kim nods her head, "that's final. You should"
"Dae, gomawo for inviting me" Jessica replies.
"Taeyeon, how is school?"
Taeyeon shrugs her shoulders, still eating.
"the exams are coming…I heard…do you need any help?" Jessica ask, smilingly.
"nope" Taeyeon is done with her food as it was clean up, she wipes her mouth, "Tiff could do that part"
Jessica was slightly frowning in upset emotion, but Taeyeon stand up finally.
"where are you going Taeyeon" Mrs. Kim looks at her daughter.
"to find my girlfriend and make out with her" Taeyeon smirks and walks to the living room, leaving her mum with Jessica at the table, shock at her remarks, she pick her coat up and left.
They meet at their usual spot, the roof top.
"Tae Tae" Tiffany smiles, when Taeyeon finally jog up the final stairs in a quick pace.
Taeyeon immediately crushes her body against Tiffany, as she hugs her right away.
"had urm..Spaghetti for your dinner?"
Taeyeon's eyes widen, "how did you…know?"
"you had sauce at the corner of your lips, pabo" Tiffany reaches her fingers out to wipe the sauce stain off, smiling and shaking her head, "feeling full?"
"is nice though…"
"oh really?" Tiffany giggles, knowing where its going.
"wanna try?" Taeyeon smirks, hugging Tiffany by the waist.
Awaiting for Tiffany's response, patiently.
When Tiffany finally nods her head shyly, Taeyeon pulls Tiffany closer, closing their gap with their lips.
Jessica was a little upset throughout the dinner, but of course Mrs. Kim realize that.
"darling, don't need to be sad…that's typical of Taeyeon…you just need to learn how to bear it when you both gets married"
"m-married?" Jessica is shock as she has never think to that point.
"yes, don't you want to?"
"but…isnt it illegal?" Jessica ask.
Mrs. Kim laugh out loud, "silly girl, we will go to place that allows the wedding happen"
"oh..but I don't think Taeyeonnie will-"
"will agree?"
Jessica nods her head sadly.
"she will…don't worry, she will…I have it in my plan, now don't you worry"
Jessica looks at Mrs. Kim, wondering what Mrs. Kim is up to.
Mr. Kim is finally back from his business trip, he drop his suitcase on the couch, walking into the small study area that was designed like a small mini library, Taeyeon was there since the afternoon, studying.
"Taeyeon"
"oh, hey dad" Taeyeon takes her glasses off, putting at the coffee table beside her, she rubs her eyes slightly, "you came back earlier"
"and you're studying…" Mr. Kim smiles in amazement.
"that is sort of teasing in a insulting kind of way" Taeyeon crosses her arms, but she was smiling.
Mr. Kim pats his daughter's head a few times, "no…is good to see this side of you…ever since your mum's passing…."
"dad, mum passed ever since I was born.."
Mr. Kim sigh, as he sat next to Taeyeon, "ever since I remarried, I barely had time to spend with you, im sorry"
"don't worry" Taeyeon taps her dad's thigh a few times, to assure him that she is fine.
Yes, this Mrs. Kim that is living with them, a person Taeyeon calls mum, has been the second wife to Mr. Kim, Taeyeon's real mother has passed on the moment she given birth Taeyeon, due to the reason she lost too much blood on the giving birth operation table. Mr. Kim thought it would be a good idea for someone to take of Taeyeon, like a mother, not wanting Taeyeon to ever feel the feeling of having no mother, beside, he has fall in love with this woman very much.
Besides, he felt happy that this wife he has remarried with, never was like any other step mother in those drama, those evil kind of step mother that tortures their daughters.
"maybe we should have seafood for dinner tonight" Mr. Kim suggest, "I'll cook!"
"Cool! I miss the sweet and sour prawns you always use to make!" Taeyeon gets excited.
Mr. Kim beams a smile, "I'll make lots of that" he points at Taeyeon, winked.
"just let me go take a quite bath th-"
"dad…."
"yes?"
"can I invite someone over?" Taeyeon ask.
"who?" Mr. Kim smirks.
"ahhhh…I'll take that as a yes" Taeyeon got up and quickly runs into her room.
Taeyeon : think you can come over tonight? For dinner.
Tiffany : your place?
Taeyeon : yes, my dad will be making them.
Tiffany : Taeyeon…you know I love you and how much I would love to-
Taeyeon : then just come and not let anything bothers you.
Tiffany : I just don't want anything to be ruin because of me…
Taeyeon : how can… *sigh* you're worrying about my mum?
Tiffany stayed quiet.
Taeyeon : I don't care, Tiff. I love you and I will introduce you to my dad…
Tiffany : taeyeon…
Taeyeon : come over, please..
Tiffany : ara…
Taeyeon herself too, take a bath, while Mr. Kim was busy cooking.
Mrs. Kim in her room, getting herself ready also.
Doorbell were heard ringing, Taeyeon dashes herself towards the door, cant wait to introduce to her to dad, the person she love most right now.
"Jessica?"
