Chapter 72: Huening family

Hueningkai was looking pathetic since he got the answer.

"I got it. You don't need to answer." He said and turned off the flame. Yeonjun looked at him but Hueningkai had a small smile on his face. Yeonjun knew he didn't put on the smile because he was happy, but because he was disappointed at Yeonjun. But how can he say that he was actually happy when he heard about it? It'd hurt Kai more. So, he remained silent and forgot what he was doing there.

"Let's go eat now!" He smiled and took the hot pot of the soup.

"Everyone! Come and eat!" Kai shouted with a very big smile. As if nothing happened and he wasn't bothered by anything.

"So, what do you do for a living?" Lea asked because she was curious and also she wanted to start a conversation.

"We're both students! What about you?" Kai joined the conversation genuinely.

"I'm currently a model and CEO of Nabil cosmetics and Nabil fashion wear." She said and after drinking a sip of water she included,

"Have you heard of them?"

"What? Nabil fashion wear….is in among Nabil Corp.?" Yeonjun was surprised because he heard of the company and he used to purchase clothes from this company. They were very fashionable as well as comfortable and that's why Yeonjun liked them.

"Yes, you are right!" Lea answered smilingly. Her smile was the same as Hueningkai. Yeonjun sighed all of a sudden as he didn't know if he should be wowed by the fact that he got a CEO sister all of a sudden though they weren't related somehow.

"Nabil?" Kai asked curiously after seeing how Yeonjun reacted.

"You have a cloth of this brand too! Don't you remember the black hoodie? I gave you as a birthday gift last year? You quite liked it a lot!" Yeonjun tried to ring a bell to Hueningkai.

"AH! RIGHT! RIGHT! I REMEMBER NOW!" Hueningkai shouted because he remembered what Yeonjun was referring to.

"That's the brand!" Yeonjun said in a serious voice.

"Woah! Really? But this brand is quite costly." Hyuka expressed his actual thoughts.

"Then….how about you?" Hyuka asked Bahiyyih who was diligently eating.

"Oh, me! I'm still a high schooler but in charge of Nabil food and beverage co." Bahiyyih replied gently.

"Ah! Is your dad related to Nabil Group?" Yeonjun asked as he was very curious.

"Hm. He is the chairperson." Bahiyyih said in a normal way.

"Woah! Really! I mean…he's the one who started the business? Or did he inherit it from your grandparents?" Yeonjun was too curious and he was looking at Lea with his big inquisitive eyes.

"No, he was the one who started the company at first and because dad put his heart and soul into the company, within no time, it got famous and he started investing in new fields. But it's getting harder to handle for him alone. And since we're already grown up, he handed some of the companies into our hands." Lea stopped talking and slurped some noodles.

"Woah! You guys are so lucky!" Yeonjun said. He was so focused on the conversation as he was too curious about the corporation, he forgot that he needed to come clean with Hyuka.

On the other side, Hueningkai and Bahiyyih were eating silently. Though Kai was getting hurt by Yeonjun and Lea's conversation, he kept eating silently as if he didn't care about anything else other than the food. He kept looking at Yeonjun from time to time with his hurtful eyes because Yeonjun's eyes were sparkling when he was talking with Lea. Does he like her? Or he was interested in money? Was his eyes shining because he heard their family had so much money? Was he really obsessed with money? Kai couldn't get what was going inside Yeonjun's head. He was lost in his own thoughts and kept eating little by little.

"Do you always eat like this?" Bahiyyih whispered as she noticed Hyuka.

"Uh! No-no!" Kai got embarrassed and smiled while replying.

"Oh! I thought we had similar eating habits too!" Bahiyyih said in a low voice again and laughed.

"You think so? Yeah! I think we are! Cause dad is really a great person. Though he's always busy with his work, he had to take care of us since we were little. Not to mention our mom. She needed a lot of care. He's like superman to us. He's good at everything and he's very loyal to our mom. We're really grateful to have him back us. Unfortunately, we couldn't do anything for him. So, when I heard he was searching for his son, I couldn't sit beside. I was also searching for him too. And I decided I'll find him no matter what. And I'll convince him to come back home. But he was a step ahead of me. He finally got him. But I don't know how I should convince him. Because if he rejects dad, he'll be heartbroken. And I don't want to see the long face on him. You know that doesn't suit us Huenings." Lea said and then looked at Hyuka.

Hueningkai didn't notice because he was talking in a low voice with Bahiyyih. All of them were getting along with each other so the circumstance wasn't heavy. When Yeonjun's mother and Huening's father came back, they liked the situation very much because they didn't imagine their children would get along so well.

"Oh! You guys are back? Come and eat with us!" Bahiyyih and Kai were in sync while saying. They both then looked at each other and laughed together. Yeonjun's mother looked at them and sighed. She smiled for a while because they looked so cute together. Just like some kindergartners. Both of them joined and started eating and chatting with each other. The house became very lively. It's been a while since Yeonjun's mother felt her house could be this lively. She was touched for a while. But her double minded heart was searching for a reason to hide Hyuka in her fringe.

They were talking about several matters and got to know about each other. While talking, Nabil blurted his thoughts in front of everyone and right after that, the air got so heavy to breath. Everybody was silent when they heard him say,

"So, will you come with us? That's your original home. Your mother misses you a lot. At least come with us and visit her. She'd be very happy. Of course I'm not forcing you. You can take your time and think about it. If you accept the proposal I'll gladly make all of the arrangements to take you with us. But if you don't want to then let me know that too. I won't force you. Instead, we'll come visit you from time to time. Would it be okay for you? I don't want to tempt you by saying we have so much money or you'll be able to live a very comfortable and affluent life. Even if I didn't have enough money to feed myself, I'd still come for you. Do you get what I'm trying to say? Don't get me wrong. And don't take a decision in a whim. I'll come back for you a week later. Until then, please think about it properly and consider what you want to do."

"There's no need to think about it and I'm not saying that in a whim but I…." Hueningkai stopped as he was saying with a very serious expression. Everybody was looking at him with their curious eyes.

"I'll go. I'll go with you since that's my original home." Hyuka said.

Yeonjun kept looking at Hyuka for a while and then he stood up and went away. The atmosphere got heavier than before.

"Huening-ah! D-do y-you really think like that? I'm your mom too! Ain't I? This is your home too! Isn't it?" Yeonjun's mother said in a broken voice since she started crying.

"Mom! It's not like that! I'll stay with you for some days. And I'm living apart from you now anyways though it's for study purpose. Just think as you're sending me abroad. And stop crying, will you? I've think it through and this is my decision. Not because I don't love you guys but because I really love you guys. And I wanna know about my birthparents too. Moreover, I want to be part of both of the family. Can't I?" Hueningkai went to his mom and knelt in front of her. He was trying to console her. But alas! A mother's heart can't be consoled just by that. So, she kept crying until Kai wiped her tears with his own shirt and kisses her forehead. Seeing how affectionate the son and mother's relationship was, the rest of the Huening family were also shedding tears.

"Alright! But promise me you'll never stop calling me and whenever you'll miss me, just come to me, okay?" Though she had so much to say, she couldn't run her mouth because of her emotions.
