Chapter 30 - Couple or Not? (1/2)

In a huge house near the suburbs of Seoul, a beautiful petite woman with long raven hair and porcelain skin ċȧrėssed the keys of her mobile phone happily. Her pair of huge doe eyes scanned the text messages she received from her little brother a while ago and she couldn't help giggling like a little girl.

”What's the matter?”

The voice startled her, but she didn't bother hiding her mirth as she swiveled her chair around to face the owner of the sound. ”Hubby! The little brother really knows a few tricks,” she declared like a proud momma before she stood up and launched herself towards her husband who looked confused.

”What did Tohru do?” Park Yuchin asked, totally guessing that it was about Tohru James that's making his wife titter.

There was no trace of jealousy in his words and in his expression, however. As he looked at his wife who browsed her phone again, there was only fondness and indulgence in his eyes. Just like his friends and sworn brothers, he was one of those men who were stoic towards other people but a total softie towards their wives and children.

For them, family was everything.

”Well, the little brother's on a date at the moment,” Jisoo announced as she wiggled her brows towards her spouse who looked surprised.

”Are they together now?”Yushin was surprised. After all, he was just with Tohru yesterday and there was still zero progress on his love life.

Jisoo shook her head and laughed. ”No, no, no. Tohru tricked Yanee into going shopping with him today. He asked me to gather everyone for the party tonight,” she said as she walked back towards her seat and began sending messages to the other girls.

”Party tonight?” Yushin never heard of anything like that. He even took out his phone to scan his calendar for the day to make sure. ”We don't have a party to attend tonight,” he said matter-of-factly, making his wife laugh again.

”Well, we have one now, mister. So don't go anywhere.”

”What?”Yushin was aghast, and Jisoo immediately explained why and what they were going to do.

”Oh…”Yushin was amazed. ”That little brat's evolved into a fine Romeo, huh,” he commented amusedly as he removed the coat he just wore earlier.

He was originally planning to go out and do some work at the office, but since his wife has an impromptu party to organize, he decided to stay with her and give her a hand. He strode across the room and sat next to his wife and busied himself with his phone, calling people to start organizing the party.

On the other side of the city, two people strolled along the streets of Itaewon-dong. The area was a popular one for shopping which boasted a hundred shops specializing in imported fashion brands. There's a plethora of products sold in the district such as leather goods, handbags, shoes, souvenirs, and antiques. In case one couldn't find clothes they liked, there were also local tailors offering custom-made apparel.

However, for the pair, there was not enough time to ask for anything custom made, and so, they trudged along the shops offering a variety of clothing in different sizes and styles.

”Boss, I feel we came to the wrong place,” Yanee stated seriously as she looked around.

Since Itaewon was an area with specialized goods, it was not surprising that everything here's expensive. For something she'd wear only once, Yanee thought it's a pity to buy from here.

”Why?” Tohru James asked as he studied her profile. He already had an idea what she's thinking but he's not going to have any protests from her.

”Because I feel it's wasteful to buy something from here when I will only wear the dress today,” she answered as expected and he raised a brow at her in amusement.

”Yanee Lee, are you totally sure you will never attend any event like this in the future?” he countered, making her stop and look at him in wonder.
