It's Either You Or No One

When jasmine checked back at the wall clock, it's already past eight. She's been trying to reach her granddaughters since an hour plus, but yet none of them picked up the calls. Infact, they turned off their phones, which made jasmine became more worried. Her hair by now is now a total mess like she was struck by an electric. Hmm, yeah. Maybe electrocuted. Frustration has a lot to do with that. I guess. She grabbed the second iPhone 14 which her son, Justin, had bought for her few weeks ago before leaving for L.A, from the glass center table. At once within a blink of an eye, she began dialing her son's number.

Let's play a game

IN THE GARDEN

"Cheers!" Collins and Grayson clicked their glasses cheerfully.

Before they could make a click with Lee, he turned away and quietly took a sip from his glass. He is seriously not in the mood to share any filthy conversations with this family.

He was talking with his son before he made an excuse to check on his wife Chung-Cha and daughter cheong. If not because of his daughter, what the fuck will he be doing here with this family? And if not because his wife has ended the lawsuit, one of them would have been behind bars by now. Especially Grayson. He hates him so much to the fullest of the peaks.

Collins and Grayson glared at themselves before approaching him.

"Seems like Mr Kim is in an unfriendly mood today." Collins chuckled.

Ignoring their speechs, Lee rolled his eyes at them. If only he could backflip one of them with just one punch on the face. Lee balled his left hand into a tight fist.

Grayson who witnessed his weird anger approaching, smiled. "Mr Kim, there's no need to be upset over anything. We are family now. In-laws."

When Lee gave him a gravery glare, Collins nodded in agreement, "Yes, my brother is right, Mr Kim." Spreading his arms broadway, he added, "A big family filled with love than hatreds. Our son married your daughter, which makes your family part of us, my dear friend so cheer up."

Lee scoffed mockingly and took a sip from his glass, "Hmm, nice one, Collins." He narrowed his eyes. "Just because I'm here today doesn't clarify any shit of this thing you call a one big family."

"Isn't yet time to drop down the ego of gloating too much and admit yourself as our in-law?" Grayson raised his eyebrows.

Lee gritted his teeths, "First thing first, I never wish to become an in-law into this family. If only I had investigated properly. I-"

Cutting him off, Grayson quickly asked, "Mr Kim, now that your beautiful daughter has blessed my family with enlargement of so many things precious, what are you going to do? Make a mysterious magic and reverse everything back?"

When Lee frowned deeper, he sighed and continued, "Mr Kim, if you calculate the number of days you've been acting up about being bossy and militant about your wife's moribund, you'll see that you haven't benefited anything yet but instead, you're loosing your manly code."

Pausing for a while, he placed his hand on Lee's shoulder and was about to say something, but when Lee shrugged it off, he sighed and shook his head. "Your daughter is the reason why my family's name still glitters. She is has brought light and goodies into this family and I'm grateful for what fate did."

"Point of correction, Mr Flynn, leave fate out of this conversation." Lee gritted his teeths. He was losing his manly code hastily. "Your son was the one who forcefully chase after my daughter. I'm sure my daughter doesn't fall for cheap tauts so easily and I'm also sure that your son purposely took advantage of my daughter so he can trap her down."

"Hmm, you think?" Collins chuckled and sipped his booze before shaking his head out of sympathy. "I'll tell you a brief story, Mr Kim. Once upon a time, there live a young, rich, independent, talented and young successful businessman named Sebastian Flynn who is also known as the noble prince of LA. He has never chased a woman in his lifetime neither has he come in direct contact with one. But not untill the wind blew a priceless flower across his path."

Lee scoffed dramatically, "Hehehe, I'm glad you address my daughter as priceless because even your so-called rich Sebastian won't be able to buy her from me, neither can a rent do."

Pausing for quite some time, Grayson took a deep breath, "Mr Kim, let's make a deal."

"I don't make deals with bush rats."

Collins cleared his throat awkwardly.

"Since something undone has been done, your daughter brought forth adorable multiples and you're still finding it hard to admit that she's my daughter in-law, then let's play a game."

"A game?" Lee frowned confusedly.

Wait what the heck is Grayson talking about? Making a deal by playing a game? Okay, let's hear it.

"In this game, the loser will have to accept whatever comes from the winner's opinion. Just once." Grayson stated.

Lee placed his glass on the nearby table when he found his words enticing, "You mean play a game like a real game, right?" When Grayson nodded, he smirk his lips and crossed his arms, "So tell me, what game are we playing? And who are the competitors?"

"Just you and I, Mr Kim."

Lee burst into laughter because he knew he was going to end up as the winner. Infact, he has seen how the whatever game is going to end up. "Bring it on, jerk."

"We're going to run a race from this spot to the main gate and back to this same spot."

"What the--" Lee's eyes widened in shock and narrowed at him again. From where they were to the main gate is like a 300 meter marathon.

"Pass large circles of tyres, lift a bench press weight of 217 lbs and-"

"Okay, okay, okay, what is this? A skillful way of punishment or what?" Lee irritatedly and annoyingly asked. He wasn't liking everything Grayson was declaring.

Whereas Collins was busy loving the sound of it all while sipping his booze quietly. Infact, he wished he could participate as well.

"And lastly a hundred press-ups." After stating that, Grayson smirk his lips and sipped his wine. He was so full of confidence and pride in himself.

Letting out a mockery chuckle, Lee smirked, "Hmm, I love such type of games, Mr Flynn. So, what is going to be the reward?"

"Make a bet!" Collins quickly exclaimed. He already knew the winner of the game.

Sticking his pinky finger out, Grayson said, "If I lose then everything you said concerning my son as a woman chaser will be right and accepted by me but if I get to win-" He narrowed his eyes, "You'll accept that you're my in-law and not go back to your words forever and also end the chaos between your family and mine. So what do you say, Lee?"

Intently staring at him for quite some time, Lee adjusted his glasses and intertwined his pinky finger with his. "Bring it on, Grayson."

They were so fucking stupid and out of their minds. To choose such game over a silly thing. But do they look like they cared? Grayson is happy to do this because he believes through this game, he'll prove to Lee that his family is not as he negatively thinks.

As for Lee, he believes that if he makes it out of this game, both his daughter and grandbabies are flying back to Seoul today whether she likes it or not, and the relationship between her and Sebastian will be automatically over.
