Mark opened the window of his apartment. He woke up early, about five in the morning. There is a lot to do in the early morning.
"Buying fresh vegetables and fruits at the supermarket."
His phone kept ringing, grandfather sent a very touching voice message.
"You're 29 years old, Mark. Grandpa hopes you enjoy your time, take a moment to have fun instead of just teaching and overtime. Tell Lisa, greetings to her."
Deg. When discussing Lisa, there was still a sense of disappointment left. He did not want to say directly that their relationship had ended at the end of the year.
"Alright, grandfather also take care of himself, do not have to stay up until the restaurant closes. Just trust Jun."
Mark is getting ready for a self-service that is open 24 hours. He did not want to drive a car, then chose to walk all sports in the morning. The distance is good, he has activated a smart watch to calculate footsteps.
Actually, there was still some lingering feelings for Lisa in Mark's heart. They've been friends since high school. Maybe Lisa's bored, or maybe she's got someone richer than Mark.
"Papa says he's still not satisfied with your career." Lisa once expressed the opinion of the father who did not approve of their relationship.
At the time, Mark was just a post-graduate student who received a scholarship from the foundation where Lisa's father served as executive director.
"How about when I become a lecturer?"
"You want to be a teacher?" Lisa stripped with less happy face. "Are you planning on kicking me slowly?"
"Why do you think that, Lisa?" Mark held Lisa's hand. "Trust me, I won't be interested in my students or anyone else."
"finally, you... " Lisa hugged her boyfriend. Regardless of Mark's circumstances, they've been together for a long time despite being in a long distance relationship. "You're so handsome, you don't know."
Despite being filled with sharing the drama of a long distance relationship, they always persevere. There is no breaking of the lips of the beloved.
"Mark," Lisa once came to college to meet Mark.
"Did you come on purpose?" Mark just finished class, he immediately escorted Lisa to his study. "What do you want to drink?"
"I'm on a diet, just mineral water." Lisa observes Mark's room, very different from his father's office.
"Papa wants to take you to dinner."
"All right."
Lisa's family already made reservations at the most luxurious hotel in town. Mark who initially hesitated to come, but he was also a real man, had to dare to face the father of his lover to ask for his blessing.
"I'll go to the toilet first."
"I'll wait at table number five."
Some still make him stubborn to meet prospective in-laws. Moreover, Lisa's parents are very elegant and classy. Again, Mark thought a lot.
"I'm sorry, that's the water tap. "there was a man who woke Mark from his daydream. "Are you daydreaming?"
"Ah, thank you." Mark immediately turned off the water faucet, then washed his face while glancing at the man who reminded him. Men with classy appearance, wearing expensive scarves and also handsome.
"I'm in the toilet, baby. I'll go to my room after meeting a business colleague."
"Well, I'll wait in the room."
Mark who heard the romantic conversation felt very touched. "Is he your lover? You guys sound so romantic."
"She's my wife, she's watching a drama in a hotel room."
"Well, it's romantic."
Mark ventured to greet Lisa's parents. He gave his greetings, bowed and proudly introduced himself.
"Mark Taylor Lee, 26, is now a lecturer at the Zurich faculty of communication and media sciences."
"Sit, Mark.'' Lisa's mother was very gentle and treated Mark without discrimination. "What foods do you like, Mark?"
"Asian food, long time no rice."
Lisa's father continued to stare at the phone screen, then when he saw the man Mark accidentally met in the toilet, the look on his face was different.
"Jay, long time no see." She hugged and smiled at a man named Jay.
"Oh, is Uncle having dinner at this hotel?"
"Yes, Jay, me, my wife and Lisa." He did not mention Mark at all.
Jay approached their table, giving his greetings. "Hello, Auntie, Lisa and Lisa's friend."
"Ah, Jay, you're getting good-looking. Where's wife? Sorry, Aunt can't be at your wedding reception."
"No problem, Bi. Lisa will come after me?''
Lisa just laughed, her expression also changing while talking to Jay. "Sister, sit down first. Eat with us. This is my boyfriend, Mark."
"Oh, greetings. We met in the toilet." Jay is very polite. A man clad in the luxury of clothing and ethics.
"Looks like I'm gonna hear Lisa's getting married in a minute, Uncle?"
"Ah, no. It's just a regular dinner."
"Then, excuse me. There's another appointment with the CEO of City Bank."
After Jay leaves, Mark is confronted by a painful revelation.
"You know who he is, Mark?" Lisa's mother asked.
Mark just shook his head, he guessed for sure Jay was the son of a conglomerate or something.
"He is Jay Jang Clarkson, the owner of JJ. One of the young business people who entered the magazine forbes as the richest young man in Asia and Europe."
Mark has to admit that Jay's charisma is matchless, especially when he speaks politely.
"Sister Jay used to date my cousin's sister, Lusi. We've known him for a long time. Jay's sister's wife is also Asian, Indonesian."
Mark gulped several times when his girlfriend's father compared Jay to Mark.
"At a very young age, Jay had graduated from college and also worked in luxury hotels in Paris. Not like someone... "
It is not wrong Mark chose a career as a lecturer, he also fought very hard in the youth when others actually enjoyed the club and were free to party with their rich parents' money.
The expensive dinner is over. Mark didn't go home right away, he brought a laptop and decided to stay in the cheapest room of the hotel to correct student assignments.
"Thank you," after getting room access. He was still waiting in the lobby to open a private email.
"Sorry, Mr. Mark, you turned out to win the lottery from the app celebration. You can book one room of VVIP overnight at no cost. Are you willing?"
"All right." Didn't expect to be as lucky as people say about the new app that is going viral.
Mark put his backpack on, got out of the elevator and walked to his room.
"1098, okay!" Mark was so happy despite having received such a slight insult earlier.
"Jay!" a woman came out of the room and ran towards a familiar man. "Jay, saranghae!"
"Why are you yelling like that?" Jay hugged his wife. "Can't you wait a minute?"
"You said you'd accompany me to a new episode, you'd be curious too." Jay's wife's face at the time was nowhere to be seen, but Mark can confirm it must be a lucky and adorable woman.
Mark was still standing by the door and looking at them. Jay took his wife and they laughed happily.
"*That's great... "
