Seo Jun

Man Shik was deep in thoughts when he heard his phone ring, the last thing he wanted was a disturbance of any sort

"Who could that be?" he thought to himself moving closer to the centre table to pick the phone call.

It was Seo Jun,

"Hyaaahh, loser bachelor, where are you?!" he asked with excitement in his voice

"Pfttt bigger loser, why are you calling me by this time of the day, why don't you go visit some shit hole in the UK" Man Shik responded

"Oh, you mean shit hole in Korea?! Yes I'm back dumb dumb" he said which made Man Shik laugh

"You're still you, you haven't changed a bit and that's a good thing, crap"

They chuckled once again...

"Good to have you back man"

"Good to be back he responded, I suppose you would be free tonight, I'm hosting a welcome party at the club tonight and you must be there"

"Arrrggg Seo Jun I don't think I'll make it for the party"

And what would you be doing than attending the most important event this night?"

"Be ready by 7:00 pm and prompt?" he said with a form voice

"But...."

"No buts, you will be at the party and that's final, I don't care how you do it but you just get ready by 7:00"

"Okay.." he said in resignation, he knew it was pointless arguing with Seo Jun, he was positive that even if he didn't want to go, Seo Jun was willing to drag him from outer space to the earth for his party if that was necessary.

"You don't sound too sure, there is something else I'll like to add"

"There will be booze and girls, hot girls since you are going to be a married man soon I think you should have some fun while you still can," he said mockingly

"Get over yourself perv," he said with a frown between his brows, that was one thing that he didn't want to hear, he was so pissed about the fact that he was going into a marriage of convenience plus he hadn't even met the girl before and he was expected to like her and get married to her.

All his family cared about was the business deals and the marriage alliance that came with it, he had someone in the family in charge of every aspect of the wedding, it was really strange because he was going to get married in a month and he had no idea who he was going to get married to.

If there was anything he needed more at this point was that outing with his cousin

"Fine I'll come with you, but you would have to come to pick me up else you'll have to go alone," he said

Yayy!!! Now the party begins he said smiling

"Alright see you later" he hung up before Seo Jun could say another word, his cousin was crazy but he was still his best relative.

He threw the ball to the wall and caught it back, he did that 5 times before stopping finally, he had figured out how to balance the accounts but not how to cancel the wedding

"Little progress is still progress," he said to himself standing up to leave the Park Corporation building, his cousin was going to rain fire and sulphur if he wasn't home by 6:30 pm"

He took the private elevator and informed his driver to get the car ready, soon he felt a rush of sadness as he thought of his mother, all she was facing in the hands of that demon of a father he had.

But to make things bearable for her, he had to comply with his father's wishes, his younger brother from the concubine was even more detestable to him.

Sometimes he wished they all disappeared from the face of the earth.

He entered the car and drove off straight to Park mansion, it was located in the heart of Seoul, the decorative flowery patterns was the cardinal feature of the Parks mansion, it could have easily become a site of exhibition.

The driver parked in front of the golden water fountain in the Park Estate where the mansion was located, the fountain was made of pure gold lined with the finest of diamonds, the worth of the fountain alone was more than that of some families one would consider elite.

He came down from the car and walked inside the house, finding his father sitting on the white coloured couch with silver designs on the edges or the armchair, it was his favourite hence he was always seated on that chair most especially when he needed to seat and think a little

He walked straight to his father, bowing politely and dropping a greeting

"Good evening Dad, Mother" he turned to give his mother a slight kiss on her forehead.

"You look pale, have you had anything to eat?" he asked with so much concern in his voice.

His mother nodded her head sitting on her wheelchair, feeling very weak.

"Mother mother!!!" He said kneeling gently in front of her wheelchair when he noticed his mother's head was slightly tilted to the left side

He cupped her chin with both hands and she jerked back to life.

"I'm fine Man Shik!" She managed to say with a shaky voice
