The bare-face beauty

"Ji-Hoon never ceases to amaze me, he has always been exceptionally good in everything I wanted from him and now that he had chosen someone for him, that someone is also exceptionally amazing just like him." Min-Hoon was the happiest, that his sons were arriving and Ji-Hoon has chosen his life partner wisely.

Jung-Nan knitted her eyebrows at the word 'chosen'. Why would someone choose their life partner, two people just fall for each other and has no choice once they fall in deeply but she shrugged her shoulders, brushing the thought off.

"Jung-Nan, don't you think along with Ji-Hoon, we should arrange Dong-Hoon's engagement as well." Min-Hoon suggested.

"I don't know, he has already given up on his dream for you. Let him settle in the management environment in Korea, after some time passes, we can talk to him about it." Min-Hoon nodded as he understood what his wife was indicating.

"Hmmm, You are right. Then we can celebrate Ji-Hoon's happiness hmm." he raised his eyebrows at his wife suggestively while she nodded her head in agreement, smiling at him.

...

Se-Young has been preparing food since 6 am. She wanted to make this special day more special for Jung-Nan. Indeed, it was going to be the most special day for the Shims but it was up to fate whether it would be happy or disastrous.

As Ji-Hoon and Dong-Hoon have refused anyone to receive them at Airport, their arrival was awaited more. At exactly 11 am, an Uber stopped outside the Shim Mansion.

...

Se-Young was still in the kitchen and Tae-Hoon was taking a shower this late because it was the weekend and he did not have any classes, Min-Hoon was in an online meeting with his manager in the study room while only Jung-Nan was sitting impatiently on the sofa in the lounge.

She kept looking at her cell phone constantly. 'Why have not they called yet.' she was getting anxious as she had told them to call her as soon as they land in Korea.

Someone from behind placed his hands on her eyes as she flinched. "Oh my God, Ji-Hoon you scared me." She said after getting startled by the sudden touch.

Ji-Hoon removed his hands from her eyes with a dimpled smile on his face. "How can you guess it every single time." he said going for a hug.

"I am your mother, I gave birth to you." she said hugging him back. The hug was becoming tighter as some tears left her eyes.

"Now leave some love for this elder son, hmmm." Dong-Hoon who was fetching both of their luggage with the butler said to her.

She hugged him as well, even tighter than Ji-Hoon. "Mom, I cannot breathe." Dong-Hoon said slightly patting her back and she pulled herself off from the hug wiping her tears.

"Finally, all my family will be in one place." her emotions were reflecting not only from her face but her tone as well and both her sons chuckled looking at her, their mother was as softie.

"Mom, where are dad and Tae-Hoon." Ji-Hoon asked, looking here and there.

"Tae-Hoon is taking a shower and your father is in his study room." Ji-Hoon nodded his head.

Soon Tae-Hoon and Min-Hoon both arrived in the lounge, the hugging ceremony lasted for some time and Ji-Hoon noticed that Tae-Hoon was not in his usual mood and did not even tease him even once, but he shrugged the thought not paying much attention to it.

"You both go, get freshen up. We will have lunch altogether." Jung-Nan said pushing them to go to their rooms.

...

Everyone was present at the dining table. The maids were bringing different kinds of food and desserts. Soon the table was filled with all the mesmerizing dishes like Gochujang Samgyeopsal, Daegi Bulgogi, Nakji Bokeum, Dolsot Bibimbap, Steamed dumplings, Deep-fried dumplings, Lobster, Gimbap, Bukkumi, Dasik, Hotteok, Red bean sweet pancakes.

Dong-Hoon and Ji-Hoon looked at each other with their wide-open eyes and again at the food, from spicy to salty to sweet, every kind of dish was present on the table. While the chef was missing. "Se-Young is possessed with a chef's ghost." Tae-Hoon mumbled but Jung-Nan heard him and slapped his thigh.

"Don't talk nonsense." Se-Young had made all of this with some minor help of Jung-Nan and some maids but Dong-Hoon and Ji-Hoon were still unaware of it and thought it was probably Jung-Nan.

"Where is this girl." Jung-Nan stood up to fetch Se-Young herself. While Ji-Hoon and Dong-Hoon gave a questioning look to each other at the word "GIRL".

...

"Se-Young, why are you here, that too still in an apron. Come on let's go." Jung-Nan tried to lift up her apron but Se-Young stopped her by grabbing her hands. "Aunt, I... I am really nervous, it is the first time we will be meeting and they just came back home, you guys eat I will take care of my lunch here." she pleaded with her puppy eyes.

"No, there is nothing to be nervous about. You are living here for two years now, come on or else I will not let anyone eat." Jung-Nan was persistent and Se-Young could not say no anymore, aware of the fact how stubborn Jung-Nan was, even more than Tae-Hoon.

When Se-Young reached the dining area, both Ji-Hoon and Dong-Hoon were looking at her. Ji-Hoon in confusion, while Dong-Hoon was admiring her visuals. He liked how she was completely bare-faced but still looking beautiful, well he at least admired someone's beauty for the first time in his life rather than himself.

Clearing her throat Jung-Nan got everyone's attention. "So, Ji-Hoon and Dong-Hoon this is Se-Young, my friend's daughter and she has been living with us for two years now." Jung-Nan gave her introduction, knowing that Se-Young wouldn't open her mouth.

"Mom, you never told us about this." Ji-Hoon asked while Dong-Hoon did not give a shit about the reason why this girl was here as he was just lost in her beauty, staring at her constantly.
