It's as though Vincent wants to try anything he could to get Yi Seo and Dae Hyun out of Jae Won's way even though they are his parents.
For instance, for the last few minutes into the dinner was like a hell hole for Vincent and for the Cha family asking unnecessary questions.
Vincent managed to pry off Jae Won from Yi Seo's embrace which he got a glare from. But it seems Vincent wore a plywood spectacle. He didnt even realize he was being glared at.
Wendell who had been quiet sitting at the dinner table hoping they could start and end this drama so he could go and continue his game wore an expression that wasn't good for readers.
Yi Seo was not sparing Jae Won with a lot of freedom since he was being bombarded with a lot of questions like "Jae Won, do you remember me?", "I heard you can't remember anything about us, is it true?", "do you want to me to take you to the hospital for a checkup?"
Vincent couldn't bare it any longer as he replied, "no need Mrs uurm….he is fine already. I meant the doctor did a thorough check up when they fist found him and he is okay just that it will take a while for him to regain his memory and that would of course be no pressure and no questions…..ooouch" said Vincent crying at the end of it.
Mrs Gladys had to pinch her son for such an unusual behavior of him being this way. This isn't like him which means Jae Won leaving might have got to do that.
Vincent glared at his mum with a dark expression "mum, that hurt. What was that for?" asked Vincent as he glared back but he was met with a reprimand "watch your tongue young man. And don't forget about your manners" said Mrs Gladys.
Beatrice on the other hand began serving the dishes which Dae Hyun noticed they were served Korean dishes. He was surprised they went to such a length for him and his wife clearly forgetting Jae Won was staying with them so obviously they will learn how to cook.
"Wow, that's so nice of you to prepare our dishes. I guess one worry is gone" said Dae Hyun. This made Mr Jonathan laughed out his lungs.
"That's funny Mr Hyun, Jae Won has been with us for a year now so cooking Korean dishes is kind of normal. Even now his favorite dish is our local food which is called 'jollof' and I'm not bragging it's delicious" said Mr Jonathan making Samuel on the other hand rolled his eyes.
It seems he was the only one who didn't want Jae Won to be gone. He turned his gaze towards Jae Won and Vincent which he saw something which made him giggle which surprised the rest.
"What's so funny? Are you disagreeing with me that our jollof isn't delicious?" asked Mr Jonathan. He may sound angry but he was all smiling.
"No dad, I just saw a mouse getting eaten by a cat" said Samuel making Christiana jumped out of her seat with her two legs as hs climbed her seat which she was now squatting on it.
"Where is the mouse? And where the hell is our cat when we need him" said Christiana forgetting Samuel saying the mouse was being eaten by the cat.
"Don't worry dear sister, I'm talking in a metaphorical way and also literally but…." Christiana heaved a huge sighed which made Mrs Gladys relaxed a bit.
Grace was said and diner had began with cutlery sound echoing in the dining room.
"I heard your company is one of the largest wineries in the country which is also exported outside the country" said Dae Hyun with a bright smile.
"Yes yes, it is. And we hope we do better in the future" replied Mr Jonathan with a proud smile while he lift up his glass of wine to his mouth when Dae Hyun spoke again.
"I hope we get to do business sometime in the future." As Dae Hyun said this, he sip his wine with an unreadable face not sure how Mr Jonathan was going to reply.
"Of course, that would be a great partnership we would have. I mean I don't mind since we are already family" said Mr Jonathan making Vincent blushed a little at his corner as he continued "Jae Won is like a son to me."
"Mr Hyun, do you mind if I visit Jae Won time and time? But how would Jae Won be able to go with you?" asked Vincent to the couple hoping to stress them out but they were prepared.
He then continued "we are not all sure how he ended up here but what we are sure of is he has no passport or any identity to be able to travel out of the country so how would he be able to go with you?"
Vincent sipped his wine a little as though he had asked an important question but Yi Seo's replied made him choked on his little wine that he was sipping.
"Oh don't worry dear, with the help of the government, a private jet would take us to our country in no time. So Jae Won not having a passport wouldn't be a problem since this case is a missing person."
Vincent, "..."
Sounds of fork clashing on a plate echoed the dining room grasping their attention. This brought Vincent back from wherever he was to the table.
"We are really happy to hear he was alive and was here but we were surprised how he ended up here which we still are. The unit said they would help investigate so the culprit wouldn't have to repeat such things again."
"We thought you had died. We checked the last location you went and we only saw you were not there you was when the police went there…..we are so happy baby that you are alive" said Yi Seo with mother's tears kicking in as she began to cry.
Her husband rubbed her back to console her while Mrs Gladys glared at his son for ruining the mood. He shrugged his shoulders as he mouthed 'it's not my fault. I only asked a question.'
"Ouch" cried Vincent only to find the two culprit behind his cries were Claudia and Christiana. They all pinched him together making him cried out that loud which made Yi Seo and her husband turned to look at him.
He immediately said "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you sad. It's just I will miss Kofi very much."
Yi Seo and Dae Hyun, "..."
"Ko..ko…ko what? What's is that?" asked Yi Seo now confused who they were talking about.
"Oh i learnt Jae Won was born on Friday so that's our local name given to Friday borns" explained Vincent. This made the two couple nodded for understanding what he had just said.
After this, dinner was quite peaceful through out. Laughs begin to be heard so did anger which was obviously coming from Samuel.
Jae Won decided now was a good time to take a picture of all them. He realized that if he takes the picture then he wouldn't be in it which he wanted to be in it.
He politely asked Beatrice to take a picture of all them for than three times with different positions.
One hour later, dinner ended as they the parents sat in the living room getting to know more about each other.
Meanwhile Jae Won and Vincent decided to go out for a night stroll while the others were in their rooms. Samuel on the other hand was busy drawing his anger on the game he was playing by shooting all of his enemies including his friends online.
"Gamemaster, are you out of your mind shooting at us. Are we now your enemies while your true enemies is out there having a life to live on. Focus!!!" said one of Samuel online friends which obviously they've not met before.
They only met because of this game. "I'm sorry, I'm angry that's why" he replied. "We all can be angry but that doesn't mean you should draw your anger towards us. We did nothing wrong than playing a game with you."
"I'm sorry guys, I thought this would help me vent my anger but it seems not to be working.
***
One week had finally passed with Jae Won's parents coming over for dinner three times which was lovely. They had become family and now they are ready to take Jae Won home as they come into a final decision of taking Jae Won home in a week.
Now Mr Jonathan has to inform his children including Jae Won that he only has one week left for him to leave this family and for some reason he was scared to do that but as the family head he had to do it.
He called a family meeting after dinner which he would be announcing the final decision. They were all seated and Samuel had a feeling this would not be a good thing for him or Jae Won which he was right.
Mr Jonathan cleared his throat before he opened his mouth to talk, "Jae Won's parents has decided to take him back home in a week. So we are all going to prepare for his departure within this week and I hope….I hope the week doesn't come soon".
Everyone, "...."
