CHAPTER-9

Reaching the location for the meet and greet, Jihan looked around 'his' property, he watched as few waiters reached towards them and welcome them with a smile on their face.

"Mr. Yoon, we will take your car from here, everyone's been waiting for you inside, allow us to gui-"

"The car's not mine."

Jihan looked back at the shocked waiters who didn't seemed to recognise him and were looking back and forth between him and Jonghyun. After a moment realising what Jonghyun meant they turned to him with pleasing smiles.

"You must be the companion Mr. Yoon brought, allow us to park your car and guide the two of you."

"....sure."

To be honest Jihan otherwise would have sure explained them as to who he was but right now he was way too tired after his emotional outburst from meeting with the shaman.

Handing the car keys over to him, Jihan looked back towards Jonghyun who walked up and stood right next to him, watching him calmly. Soon they followed the waiter and walked inside the main hall. There was a bar area in it where they were serving drinks and also a buffet area for food situated, in the middle of it all was a giant sofa and what seemed to be where the 'main-circle' was sitting on it, there were a few small sofas on the side where people outside that group were sitting but most of them were crowding the main sofa. Of course let's not forget the booming music.

Walking inside they were immediately the centre of focus. Everyone seemed shell shocked to see Yoon Jonghyun here. To be honest sending Jonghyun an invitation was just a formality since it was very obvious that he would never mix up with them lot, now him suddenly appearing in front of them out of the blue seemed to make them at a loss as to what they should be doing.

Not to mention Jonghyun even had brought what seemed to be a companion. Looking at the man, he was obviously no male pet, the designer clothes and expensive accessories aside the way he walked confidently and held himself with grace while he swaggered towards the bar after giving a brief nod towards Jonghyun, who followed behind him quietly, giving an illusion of a little tail. It looked as if Jonghyun was the companion here.

Very much aware of everyone's gaze Jihan paid no heed to it as he walked towards the bar area for a few drinks.

"One classic dry martini."

The waiter seemed a bit flabbergasted since he didn't recognise him but seeing Jonghyun behind he immediately started preparing the drink. Jihan sighed as he leaned against the bar table and watched as Jonghyun graciously situated himself next to him on a bar stool.

Sipping his drink Jihan watched as others seemed to have got up to approach them and he smiled inwardly waiting for the good show, even the waiters surrounding them seemed to have thought so since they were looking towards them.

"Haha Yoon Jonghyun, I am glad that you took time out to come to the meet greet I organised, Hey, pour him the finest you have."

Jonghyun looked at him and gave him a firm nod to which his smile seemed to twitch.

"Haha, no need to be so formal."

Looking at his face Jihan discreetly took his phone out and realised that the person in front of him was Seo Joon. To be honest looking at him he seemed like a fine young man, with 6ft height and a winner smile on his face.

'hmm, it's his eyes, too observant I don't like this one.'

Seo Joon seemed to noticed Jihan once he was done answering questions to the women in his arms as he turned towards Jonghyun with a polite smile on his face.

"It seems you have brought a... friend, I suppose, may I know who he is."

Jonghyun narrowed his eyes at him then cocked his brows sarcastically.

"You don't know him?"

Seo Joon felt a little startled in his heart. To be honest he knew that the man leaning on the bar table drinking what seemed to be a martini was no little person. He was standing with so many people around him yet the man paid no heed to him and just looked around as if watching a good show. Now judging by Jonghyun's attitude and the way he wasn't telling him who it was he decided it would be best to treat him with a polite attitude.

Of course not everyone thought so.

"What's with his attitude, even if he came with Yoon Jonghyun he's got to tell us who he is."

"I know right? is he new to this."

In fact Jihan really was new to this. In his world there were a very few who dared to strike a conversation with him, plus he wasn't a fan of loud places such as these, he enjoyed quite and lonely places.

Sighing Jihan ignored them.

Of course the rest of them could not do anything to him after all, having a backer like Yoon family was enough for everyone to shut down after a while. Of course a few girls couldn't resist crowding around Jihan. After all he was tall and had a delicate white skin which made him look like a pampered young master while his clothes on the other hand made him look slightly more wild with an aura of a socialite.

"Oh my, is that the limited edition gold threaded dragon designer shirt? I thought they were out of stock."

"Your watch looks nice."

"Big brother, how do you know Yoon Jonghyun? You see he isn't close to anyone."

"hmm by the way Seo Joon, where is your brother? Is he not coming lol."

"hmm? that pig is not replying and now he isn't coming here either? Does he thinks just because he went to his father's office he is hot sh-"

The boy who was talking shit about Jihan soon shut up after seeing Jonghyun looking at him condescendingly. Even the girls around Jihan seemed to feel cold and moved away bit by bit.

Jihan felt slightly grateful for it and sighed in his heart.

'Seo Joon this punk when will he know he is Seo Jihan?'

Jihan stood up calmly and was about to announce he was Seo Kang Joon's son when he was saved the embarrassment by Seo Joon.

"Let me call him."

Seo Joon said as he smiled politely and looked at everyone with cold eyes as if warning them not to say shit in front of Yoon Jonghyun. But of course that didn't stop the snickering, condescending whispers.

"Hehe, it's been so long."

"I know right, I have to buy that bag I saw last time, but he isn't here."

"Should we just take his card?"

"You idiot what if Seo Kang Joon finds out? You will be dead."

Suddenly the phone ringing sound broke the silence as everyone turned to where it was coming from. Seeing it was Jihan who's phone was ringing everyone felt sightly confused ut soon dissed it as a coincidence while Seo Joon felt slightly weirded out in his heart as he looked at him slightly more closely.

"Heir Apparent."

Jihan was shocked to see little butler Shi walking towards him, behind his was an entourage of guards. Overwhelmed by their presence everyone made way for them and in front of everyone's disbelieving eyes all the guards bowed ninety degrees towards Jihan, while little butler Shi gave a slight bow, he also bowed towards Jonghyun and Seo Joon as he turned towards Jihan.

To be honest this was the first time Jihan had seen little butler shi with such a dignified face and he felt slightly funny in his heart. Under everyone's wide eyes Jihan waved of the kneeling guards who immediately dispersed away in a neat manner and turned to little butler Shi with a questioning gaze.

"What's the matter Butler Shi?"

"Young Master I was informed you were having alcoholic beverage, you know you aren't supposed to have them."

"...is that so?"

"Allow me to prepare a mocktail for you."

Soon Butler Shi busied himself with it.

Jihan smiled inwardly. In fact there were no such requirements of not drinking but it seemed Butler Shi made an excuse and came over to protect him if he faced a problem.

Suddenly he felt a towering sensation behind him, turning around Jihan looked at Jonghyun who was looking at himself slightly coldly.

'...aish now what is up with this guy.'

"...anything else."

"....yes?"

"What else are you not allowed to have?"

Jihan was dumbfounded by his question. He was about to answer him when Seo Joon cut him off.

"Y-you!"

Seo Joon looked like he had seen a ghost. To be honest Jihan could understand. After all not long ago his flabbing meat waved around when he was hit by shower and now he had close to six pack abs, anyone would be surprised.

"H-haha, you lost weight huh?"

Jihan smiled politley.

"As you can see."

Soon butler Shi pushed the drink towards him, downing it calmly sip by sip Jihan enjoyed the shock in everyone's eyes, turning into denial, discontent and then stark envy. Some seemed to be just plain amazed by the sudden change and looked at him with greed in his eyes.

Finished with his drink, Jihan put down the drink in his hand and then faced everyone with a frigid gaze and indifferent smile making everyone feel uneasy.

'Its not just one gaze after all, its two!'

Jonghyun who was standing right behind Jihan was also calmly observing them with an apathetic gaze.

"Well it's been wonderful being friends with you all, but I don't wanna continue it any longer."

Jihan said in a cool voice. Then he stared at each of them with a unsmiling face and announced again.

"If any of you try to call, text or involve yourselves in any other way possible including having 'fun' at my property....just know that I won't be the one dealing with you."

Everyone present flinched at his statement, after all they all knew what he meant.

'He will bring his father into this!'

At his words those who were waiting to protest immediately deflated. Calmly observing the bitter dissent on everyone's face Jihan gave them a bright sunny smile, quite contradictory of his blackmail as he waved towards little butler Shi to follow and nodded at Jonghyun who seemed to have intentions of following him.

Observing the slight smile on Jonghyun's face, Jihan felt a bit happy for some reason as he walked away under everyone's gaze with his entourage.
