Loving Yourself

The Past Digging

"YES!!! ********!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE"!! hardik Yokada got up from his seat.

"Seenpaiiii!" sela Ha Jae pulls Yokada's hand. "He's guest. I sent her here."

...----------------...

"WHAT?! The boy!" sergeant Yokada let go of his hand and went to the bar table.

Yokada poured a glass of drink and drank it. "YOU DON'T KNOW WHO HA IS!!?" hardik Yokada was absorbed pointing towards Man.

It was obvious in Shin Ji Joon's eyes that Yokada was very dislikeful of the young man. But it was strange that Choi Ha Jae was defending the young man. Shin could only be dumbstruck in the middle of that small commotion. Shin looked at the young man, from toe to head. He was trying to guess who the young man was.

"Who is he?!" inner Shin.

Shin looked at Ha Jae who was smiling towards him. "He was a famous young businessman in Daejeon. He's Mr. Yokada's business partner. Who knows if he can fill your pockets." said Ha Jae patting Man on the shoulder and throwing a smile at him.

Shin Ji Joon was made uncomfortable by the situation. It was clear that his face did not seem to like it. Shin wondered more and more about who the young man really was. Only Yokada can answer Shin Ji Joon's questions.

Shin Ji Joon looked towards Yokada who was sitting out of the way at the bar enjoying a bottle of Soju. He could see clearly that Yokada disliked the young man. It was like an opportunity for Shin Ji Joon to take Yokada's heart. After all, Shin was much more perfect compared to the young man with the demeanor before him.

But the big problem is Choi Ha Jae. She doesn't look like the kind of woman who looks up to her degrees and possessions for her feelings. The proof, he could be that close to the young man.

"Emm Boy," Ha Jae called Kyun. "Man, just came from Incheon. He has no place to live here. It's okay if she stays with you for a while, rather than staying with me. You know, you know,"

Shin Ji Joon was suspicious when he heard Incheon. If it was indeed this young man from Incheon, surely Han Seok could provide a lot of information about this young man. Shin looked a relieved smile at that moment. He seemed to be casually drinking a can of drink in his hand.

......................

After the dinner is over. Everyone looks good. Ha Jae and Yokada drive them to the front of the house. While Shin, sitting on top of the bar enjoyed a bottle of Soju.

Shin Ji Joon looked at the spices that were at the edge of the room. He rose from his seat to the spice plant at the end of the room. Shin was stunned looking at the celery plant that thrived in a small pot. He remembered a piece of his past memory.

...(flashback Shin's childhood)...

...----------------...

"Mama. This what?!" ask Iguk.

"This, it's called celery. It's delicious." replied a mother who held a bundle of celery in her hand.

"Try" said Iguk grabbing a few wide celery leaves and eating them. "Not good." cried Iguk.

"Ha haha, cook first." said a mother pinched the child's cabi cheek with anxiety.

...----------------...

Shin Ji Joon just nodded his head throwing a smile at Yokada. He lies behind Yokada in the lounge on the ground floor. Step by step Shin walked. He saw clearly there was no change in any corner of the house.

Shin Ji Joon walks into a lounge room on the ground floor.

"Dad!! I don't think about that boy. He could've brought the delinquent here." sergeant Yokada looked very upset.

He picked up two glasses and a bottle of wine from the bar behind him. Shin sat down the sofa in front of him. Shin grabbed a glass that Yokada gave him. Yokada poured the wine into Shin's glass.

"Thank you." said Shin. "If I may know. Who exactly is that young man?!"

"He's the brand that's rummaging through the warehouse in Incheon. My men have cleaned it up. But I don't know why the boy even told her to come here." Yokada was obviously full of annoyance. "Oh yeah. What about my product model. Did you get it?!"

"Here, I put our number one model for your product" replied Shin.

"Ah you are this. Thanks though. I didn't choose you wrong." said Yokada. "What about your Dad? How's it going?!"

"He's fine. I haven't contacted him in a long time either." said Shin.

"You don't do that. In any case, he is your father." said Yokada.

Shin Ji Joon and Yokada look cool talking. They enjoy the wine and soju that Yokada treats for her. Like the fatigue he had just felt was gone.

"Oh yes, I want to ask you something" Yokada said.

"Please." said Shin pouring the soju back into his glass.

"This is about Choi Ha Jae" Yokada said.

"Ha Jae?" suhut Shin gulped the soju from his glass.

He was curious as to what he would ask.

"SENNPAIIIY!!!!" pekik Ha Jae opened the door with all his might.

Suddenly it made Shin Ji Joon and Yokada who were relaxed aghast. Shin gaped at Ha Jae who was still wearing his pajamas and a towel stood astride the entrance..
