Chapter 70 (1/2)
Being given a menu by Na-Yungs mother, he was looking through it to know what he was going to order when something caught his eyes.
”Pizza!” He exclaimed.
Surprised by the sudden outburst, Na-Yungs mother looked at him with wide eyes while his friend laughed out loud. She had noticed that Nathaniel had a curious love for pizza and could not resistto order one when there were some on the menu. They ate together between classes a few timesand each time it was the same thing.
They were in one of the best five star hotels in the city, he could order the best food and dishes yet the only thing that attracted his eyes was pizza. She could not help but shake her head amused at that.
”Alright, I will make the order right away. It will not take long to have it prepared and brought up so get ready.”
”Thank you.” Nathaniel answered almost sheepishly, giving back the menu.
True to her word dinner came quickly and the father of Na-Yung came not long after that. Looking at him Nathaniel was curious to know what he was like. He was a forty something year old man around 5”7”. He had surprisingly delicate features and Nathaniel could see that Na-Yung inherited her mouth from him. He had short brown hair and was wearing an Armani black suit.
Seeing that he was being scrutinized, Na-Yungs father reciprocate the attention with a light smile. Nathaniel was surprised to see him showing amusement contrary to his wife who was stone faced.
”Nathaniel? Glad to meet you. I'm In-Su Kim, the father of Na-Yung. You also met my sweet wife Eun-Mi, I presume.” He said in fluent english, coming to shake is hand.
Nathaniel could spy his wife who narrowed her eyes at that. She did not seem to like being called 'sweet' in front of a stranger but she did not say anything.
”Yes I have, glad to meet you too. I'm Nathaniel Lyndon.” Accepting the handshake.
Nathaniel was kind of surprised by the father of Na-Yung. He was displaying his emotions openly and he had a kind demeanor. Curious, he started to look at his soul and found out that he had a sparkling blue soul. That made him relax a little.
”Good, come eat with us. The dishes have all arrived.”
Taking place around the table, the mother and father pair both took the extremities of the table, leaving him and Na-Yung to sit on each side of the table. Looking at the delicate food they had chosen, anybody would have felt awkward with a vulgar pizza but not Nathaniel. It wasn't that he had thick skin, he just did not give a damn about people's view of him, he will enjoy his pizza without a care in a world.
After a few civilities, Eun-Ni started to ask a few questions to Nathaniel, making her daughter frown.
”So Nathaniel, what is it that your parents do?”
”My mothers are respectively a prosecutor for the DA office here in NY and a director in my family company.”
”Excuse me but mothers?”
”Yes, my mothers are lesbians.” He said with a slight smile.
Na-Yung already knew that he had two mothers and she was okay with that so he concentrated his attention on her parents. Her father did seem to be okay with that but the expression on Eun-Ni face gave him all the information he needed on her opinion on homosexuality. Even if she tried to hide it as it would not be proper to show disgust in front of her guest, the slight wrinkling of her nose and the contraction of her jaw was speaking volumes.
