Chapter fourteen:THE TREAT

Sun Ri waits in the room as Shin Min gets ready to go for dinner

Kim waits outside their room to get a glance of Shin Min

Meanwhile Alex in his room yells at Jong soo

"get ready soon, we are getting late"

Jon soo:"ready, ready, I'm ready"

Shin Min opens the door to find Kim waiting outside her room

Kim smiles

Shin Min looks at him but tends to ignore him

Kim hands over a rose to her

she refuses to take it

Kim forcibly hands it over

Shin Min holds back her smile

Kim looks into her eyes:"you look so pretty, prettier than this rose"

Shin Min smiles:"how cheesy"

Kim:"ah my lady smiled"

Sun Ri comes out and smiles looking at them

Shin Min:"where is Mr Alex and Jong soo, are they ready? "

Alex:"Ah here we come, we got late as this little brat takes too much time to get ready, look even the ladies get ready earlier than you, you should be ashamed"

Jong soo:"ah, why do you have to be nagging all the time"

Alex:"If i don't nag, you would have kept sleeping like a pig"

Jong soo scoffs

Alex is enraged by the scoff:"look at the way, he disrespects me"

pats his back

Kim trying to stop Alex:"ah please stop fighting here atleast"

Shin Min:"yeah true, you have to behave properly as we are going to be with Mr Joo won for next few days, don't invite his wrath"

Jong soo smiles:"oh you both saying same things that means you guys had patched up"

Shin Min blushes

Kim smiles and says:"let's go"

Sun Ri, Shin Min, Kim, Alex, and Jong soo walk down the stairs

while walking down the stairs they are amazed by the kind of paintings hanging on the walls

Shin Min:"Mr Joo won has a great collection of paintings, he is into art alot I guess"

Kim:"yeah, he attends the biggest painting exhibitions around the world and never misses to get the best paintings in the auctions"

Alex:"auction? "

Kim:"yeah, this painting that you are looking at costs $10million dollars"

Alex:"what? "

Jong soo:"ahh.. gosh he is so filthy rich"

Alex nods

Jong soo:" I think I should try my hand at painting so that rich guys can spend millions on my painting and I can become rich as well"

Alex:"you hardly manage to hold tooth brush properly, don't even think about painting brush"

Shin Min and Kim laughs

Jong soo looks at them feeling embarassed:"look at that painting it looks like someone who has drunk heavily, had nothing to do, he stumbled upon the canvass, dipped his hand in the colors and rolled it all over"

Kim:"none in the world would have given such a great explanation other than you "

Alex laughs

Kim:"it is called abstract painting, it has meaning underlying every layer of it"

jong soo:"really? "

Alex:"those with aesthetic sense like Mr joo won understands it and appreciates it.. you just don't even try "

Shin Min smiles

They get down stairs
