CHAPTER-6

'He called didn't he?'

Jihan thought as he questioned.

"….Well did you call?"

"..."

"Ah that yes, now wait why you little how dare you why the fuck were you not picking up-"

"Ah that well I was busy with training for military camp you know who is my father after all."

"….."

Seo Joon's anger suddenly deflated by a bit as he though of Seo Kang Joon.

"…T-then what about blocking all of us?"

"Ah that you know there were a lot of messages and it disturbed my training, you understand what I mean right?"

"...."

Seo Joon felt a bit weird.

'Why is he talking respectfully to him?'

"Then why did you call?"

"Hmmm? Ah yes that everyone is gathering for a small meet and greet at the usual place, d-do you- are you coming?"

"….Oh is that so? Yes I will come but what is the usual place you mentioned?"

"…that you-your holiday villa-"

"Oho"

Seo Joon felt himself getting smaller at his sarcastic tone for some reason.

"Well whatever send me the date and timings and holiday villa's location since I don't now which one you are talking about."

"….yes."

"Alright then have a goodnight."

"G-goodnight."

After the call Seo Joon suddenly felt himself getting ashamed, his instincts pointed that something had changed. As a person who heavily relied on his instincts Seo Joon decided to see what is wrong by himself on the day of meet and greet.

...

The next day Jihan completed his daily exercise routine and sat down on the bed and looked around for clothes to fit the party, his plan was perfect, he would leave in the name of meet and greet, meet the shaman that he had found near him and the leave for the party, after that he could leave early and go to a hotel and spend the night there next day he will meet the second shaman he had planned to meet and then go back to home late on the pretext of being too drunk.

It was a perfect plan but there was one problem.

"....."

'None of these clothes fit me anymore!'

Jihan had asked for lots of sportswear that fit him but there were no daily wear. To be honest Jihan had just focused on his body and gaining information on this world, thus he had been living a hermit like life.

Sighing Jihan decided to just wear his grey sweatpants and black tshirt for now and go for shopping, climbing down the steps he met eyes with Butler Shi who gave him a slight bow.

"Heir apparent, are you going somewhere?"

"ah yes I am, could you please bring over a car to this front gate while I go over inform father?"

Butler Shi seemed slightly surprised but nodded nonetheless.

"Of course will you be needing a driver?"

"No need."

With that Jihan turned towards Papa Seo's office.

Knocking on his door Jihan heard a dignified come in.

"Awie~ Jihoonie you came without invitation today."

Jihan flinched at that. To be honest he had a guilty conscience towards Papa Seo, that's why he avoided him as much possible. Sighing Jihan nodded at him dismissively.

"Father, I will be leaving for a meet and greet."

Papa Seo raised his eyebrows.

"In that outfit?"

"....No I will be buying new ones on the way."

Papa Seo smiled at his words and pulled out a black card from his drawer.

"Go ahead, Seo Joon already informed me of the details, have fun!"

"....."

That's it?

To be honest Jihan had expected something...he wasn't sure what it was but such an easy going response was not in his expectation. Jihan nodded calmly at Papa Seo and then left.

Walking down the front door he flinched at the maids bowing to him but then calmly walked down and he met eyes with a bright red supra of 1998 year, it was unaltered.

"....A man of fine taste."

Jihan felt that deeply from his heart as he admired the beauty in front of him. Little Butler Shi handed him the keys and his wallet and mobile phone.

"What time will you be back heir apparent?"

"Hmm tomorrow around lunch?"

"...all right, stay safe, ask the employee at the store to choose a set of clothes for you."

"....alright."

'I am guessing the original Jihan only had good taste in cars.'

Jihan sighed and the slid into the car admiring the interior then let the engine warm, turned on the GPS for the nearest clothing area, then revved the car and drove it with ease.

"...smooth."

He admired the car's condition and then gave little butler Shi a slight wave and left.

.....

"As soon as Jihan left little butler Shi pulled out his mobile phone and contacted Seo Kang Joon.

"Master, shall I follow him?"

There was silence on the other side.

"No need."

"Understood master."

With that the call was disconnected and little butler Shi sighed.

'Stay safe master Jihan.'

He silently thought as he walked back inside.

.......

Jihan walked inside the clothing shop that looked his type and walked around, to be honest he always had clothes chosen for him thus he had no experience in doing so, very soon a store employee approached him with a kind smile but on the inside she felt tired.

To be honest this was a luxury clothing shop, they had very fixed regular customers that they recognised by face, customers like these generally left on their own after seeing the prices, thus no one wanted to assist this one. But she kinda liked his face, to be honest he was a looker with his 6'1 height and such perfectly sculpted body he might have come off kinda intimidating but right now looking around with a confused expression on his face he came off a bit cute which made her heart race.

"Hello sir, may I know what you are looking for?"

Jihan sighed in relief at the sight of the kind looking female employee.

"Can you help me find some pairs of shirts, tshirt, pants, jeans casual daily wear types and pack them off to be sent at my place?"

"....of course sir this way let me take your measurements."

Jihan nodded and followed her towards the mirror, through the mirror he watched the rest of the employees smirking and suddenly realised the situation and sighed. He watched as the girl busied herself and dropped appropriate clothes at the counter to be checked out with a kind smile on her face.

'...She is a good person!'

Jihan nodded inwardly at her once done that employee sympathetically looked back at Jihan as she bowed at him to make the payment.

'Poor guy he is going to get humiliated, but I can console him when he is down and win his heart!'

The counter employee had a tired look on his face but flinched when he saw the card Jihan had handed him.

"S-seo Kang Joon? are you his employee?"

"....I am his son."

Everyone was flabbergasted at his response. Who didn't know the only acknowledged son of Seo Kang Joon? Seo Jihan after all was a regular here who was very generous to the employees.

'When did he become this hot?!'

That was on all the store employees mind as they looked at Jihan who was looking at his phone with nonchalant expression on his face. Everyone flinched and immediately scurried over to him,

"Ah Mr. Jihan you have changed so much!"

"I was flabbergasted!"

"Jihan sir what else?"

But Jihan calmly raised his hand and smiled at them kindly,

"Everyone else can leave except from the employee that was tending me earlier. No need to crowd around me. It's making me claustrophobic."

Everyone in the store collectively flinched at his remarks, to be honest Jihan was the type to even listen to their slightly disrespecting remarks with a kind smile, this was the first time they had heard him being so frank making them flinch.

'Well after all he is still Seo Kang Joon's blood.'

With that thought in mind everyone except the female employee from earlier backed away. Jihan then turned back to her with a kind smile,

"Please send all the clothes to my home address, for now pick out a meet and greet type outfit, it's on a small scale so make it comfortable, I will be wearing that now."

The female employee nodded blankly still in a daze from the previous situation, soon she sighed,

'No wonder....even though he was confused he was still oozing confidence.'

She thought as she walked back to pick an outfit for him.

....

Standing in front of the mirror Jihan nodded in satisfaction at his outfit. It was a silk black shirt with a dragon made on it with gold detailings tucked in a pair of black pants which were neither tight, nor loose and lastly they were paired with a pair of polished loafers, no socks and a golden metal watch on his hand. Jihan folded the sleeved of the shirt to his forearm and left the top two buttons of the shirt undone which showed his defined pectoral lines, the store employee also added a gold chain she brought from the nearby store that was medium in breadth but stuck slightly more closely to his neck.

Jihan looked at himself in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

'mhm I look like a typical rich second generation fuck boy very nice.'

Jihan then smiled kindly at the store employee who flinched then looked away.

'AAH too handsome, my heart nooo.'

That was all she could think, unaware of her struggles Jihan admired her skills inwardly as he did the rest of the payments. Soon he heard the sound of door opening looking back he was stunned to find a familiar face.

'....Yoon Jonghyun?'

"...Seo Jihan?"

Yoon Jonghyun said in a slightly surprised way.

"Yoon Jonghyun."

Jihan nodded calmly.

"What are you doing here?"

Jihan flinched inwardly as he watched Jonghyun's eyes roaming all over him, he suddenly felt like a cheating girlfriend.

'No why what the fuck? why am i being so conscious?'

"To buy clothes?"

Jihan watched as Jonghyun slowly towered over him his eyes that looked like they were always lazy were right now exuding a sense of scrutiny.

'..Is it my outfit? no why should I care?'

"...Well I am done no-"

"Are you going somewhere Seo Jihan?"

'Stop cutting in you fucke-'

"Yes, a meet and greet with friends."

Yoon Jonghyun cocked an eyebrow at his response as he crossed his arms in front of him. To be honest Yoon Jonghyun, in a high neck blazer suit with his arms crossed was intimidating Jihan, but his pride would never allow him to accept that.

"....is it Seo Joon's meet and greet?"

'Were you trying to figure this out since so long? just as mister'

"....yes."

"I see, let's go."

"....?"

Yoon Jonghyun smiled at Jihan's dumb expression.

"I was invited as well, let's go together."
