16 A Precious Gif (1/2)
The Kim Family's mansion is where Samantha and Seo Joon grew up in. The interior design of the house changed over the years but they like to keep their house in a contemporary style.
Samantha and Daniel entered the living room and were surprised to see Seo Joon with Nathan Yun.
Nathan turned his head towards them and smiled, ”It's nice to see you again, Samantha.. President Cho.”.
Samantha nodded, ”Hi.”
Daniel just nodded.
Okay, this is not awkward at all! Nope! Daniel Cho didn't say anything but there was an obvious change in the ambiance of the living room.
Samantha held Daniel's hands and Daniel smiled down at her. When she was worried before they arrived at the Kim Mansion, she didn't know what caused it. She thought maybe because Daniel is meeting her father? But there was something in her gut telling her that it will not be just a normal night.
And so she was right, her ex-boyfriend, Nathan Yun and her present boyfriend, Daniel Cho in one room. Her past relationship with Nathan was something that made her feel bad about herself. Although she has moved on, seeing him again wasn't something that she was looking forward to.
Daniel Cho's warm hand calmed Samantha down. As long as he is with her, she'll be all right.
Mrs. Kim found it awkward so she spoke, ”Make yourself at home, Daniel.”
”Oh, thanks... Actually, I brought you something, Mrs. Kim.”
The Kim's housekeepers came in with a flowerpot.
”I remember how you like flowers. I wanted to give you something that would last long so I brought a pot of tulips. I hope you like them. ” Daniel presented the pot and Mrs. Kim's eyes were full of admiration when she saw an army of tulips in a tall and beautiful terracotta pot.
”Ohh... This is wonderful! So beautiful! I love it! Thank you, you are so thoughtful, Daniel. You even remembered.” Mrs. Kim touched the flowers and smelled them. She was all smiles, she walked over and held Daniel's hand then patted them.
”You're welcome, Mrs. Kim.”
”Please call me Aunt from now on.” Mrs. Kim smiled.
”Aunt Alice.”
”Better! --Oh, I have to leave you, for now, my cooking!” Mrs. Kim left in a rush.
Just as Mother Kim left, Mr. Kim walked down the stairs.
”Dad!” Samantha beamed and pounced on Mr. Sun Ho Kim. Her dad smiled so brightly upon seeing Samantha. ”Hello, Princess.”, he said. Growing up, Samantha had always been a daddy's girl. Just like Granpa Kim, Mr. Kim also sees his mother in Samantha.
”I miss you, daddy!”, she said as she hugged him. ”Come, we have a guest.”, She held his hand and brought him to Daniel.
”It's nice meeting you again, Chairman Kim.” Daniel said as he extended his hand.
”It's been a while, President Cho.” Mr. Kim greeted with a smile.
Samantha raised an eyebrow, ”Uhh... You two have met?”
”Ahh, we got acquainted last year when we played golf with Mr. Jin.”
”Your father is good at golf. I lost to him.” Daniel complimented.
”Ahh... It was just luck.” Mr. Kim grinned, ”Also, you don't have to call me so formally, we're at home, call me Uncle.”
