Chapter 116. Itzy

"No, currently Elon is not the richest man. There was a viral post 20 minutes ago featuring a guy named Hoon. He tagged someone, and people in the comments section immediately started gathering information about him. He was described as the most handsome and a trillionaire. His name is Neo Gray," Cha said as she opened her phone to show them the post.

"Ah? You know my boss? And Hoon already posted it on his Instagram? Yeah, Neo is my boss, and he was the one who bought all this. I'm so grateful to him," Dong replied.

"Wow. That's great, honey. When you see him tomorrow, make sure to tell him we said thank you," Dong's wife said, happy for her husband and children.

"Of course," Dong replied.

"What's this? Why is there only a single item in the paper box?" Bong asked.

"Oh, that's mine! Boss bought this for me," Dong said as he snatched the box from his son and held it up to his face. He rubbed it and said, "My new baby."

"What is that? You're acting like it's more expensive than anything else here," Cha said.

"Let me show you," Dong replied as he removed the lid of the box and revealed the watch inside. "This is the Steve McQueen Submariner—a Rolex watch that costs $277,850 or 381,457,473 ₩."

"What?! 381 million for just a watch?" Dong's wife exclaimed, shocked by the price.

"A Rolex. Damn," Dong said.

"Wow, it looks pretty," Cha remarked.

"This is nothing compared to the Watches that Neo and his friends bought. The price of the watches they purchased is 2 billion ₩ or more. The boss even bought a 27.5 billion ₩ watch, hahaha," Dong bragged, proud that Neo considered him a friend.

"Okay, you guys, take your items to your rooms. I need to talk to your mother first," Dong said.

"Acting mysterious, Father," Bong remarked, but he and Cha complied and brought their new branded clothes to their rooms.

"So, what's the problem?" Dong's wife asked.

"Honey, not only did the boss give me this watch; but he also helped us financially. He gave me 13.7 billion ₩. Look," Dong said, showing her his bank account on his cellphone.

"This is so much money, honey! We can buy a new house, and we won't have problems with the kids attending college. We can even retire with this kind of money!" Dong's wife exclaimed, excited as she imagined their future.

"Yeah, we could retire, but we won't. We should invest this money or buy an apartment to rent out, honey. We're still young to retire," Dong replied.

"You're right. We need to consult professionals. After your boss leaves the country, let's do that. First, focus on your work. Neo is our benefactor, and whenever he comes here, we need to host him," Dong's wife suggested.

"That's what we should do. Let's go have dinner, honey. I'm still hungry, even after eating at the fancy restaurant Neo took us to," Dong said as he and his wife called Bong and Cha to prepare dinner.

Hours passed, and Neo and the boys gathered in his room. Neo and the others were waiting for someone to answer their call.

"Hello, how can I help you?" a man said.

"Hello, we would like to book actresses or idols for a night. Can you help with that? Someone gave me this number for that reason," Neo said.

"I'll send you the list. You can pick from it. Contact me again for further details," the man on the other end replied, sending Neo the list of available actresses and K-pop stars.

Neo chose a K-pop group with five members. George and the others also selected their preferences.

"Hello, I've already sent you the selections we picked. How much will it cost?" Neo asked.

"For the group, it will cost $1 million, and for the actresses, $100,000 each. This will last for 12 hours only. I'm not sure if they will agree yet; let me inform them first," the man said before hanging up and calling the agency the girls worked with.

"Luckily, the artist agreed to meet tonight. They will arrive at your location within an hour. Please take care of them; you'll be responsible if something happens. You can send the money to this account. It's a pleasure doing business with you. Enjoy!" The man hung up the phone.

"I like talking to that guy—no unnecessary questions, just basic info, and done. Let me send the money. You four should book a new room," Neo said.

"Yeah, bye. See you tomorrow, Neo. We'll be going now."

"Remember, keep it a secret, okay? Don't mess this up."

They left my room and transferred the money. I also sent money to Ari, who helped us a lot, matching the amount given to Hyung and Hoon.

"Oni, are you sure we are doing this?" Yuna asked.

"What if it's an old man? This is the first time we've signed up for this," Ryuji added.

"We are already here. It's too late to back out. The client already paid the contractor," Yeji replied.

"Damn! If the client is ugly, I will run. I'm betting my chastity on this one " Lia complained.

"I thought if we sign up for this, we would have time to prepare. It didn't even take 30 minutes and someone already booked us" Yuna said anxiously.

"If it were a handsome man, I wouldn't mind, haha. He can do anything to me," Chaeryeong laughed, trying to lighten the mood.

"Let's go; it's better to finish this. They say it's only one man, which is better," Yeji said, a bit concerned. They were already in front of the room where their client was staying. She steeled herself and knocked on the door. After a few seconds, the door opened, revealing the owner of the room.

"So handsome," Ryuji whispered.

"I think I don't mind anymore," Lia said, her demeanor changing.

"Same here. He can enjoy me as long as he wants," Yuna chimed in.

"Hehehe, I was just joking, but God answered my prayer," Chaeryeong added with a giggle.

"Hello, sir. Are you the one who hired us?" Yeji asked in English, trying to keep it smooth since she was the only one fluent in the language.

"Hahaha, no need for English. I can understand and speak your language. Come inside," Neo said, inviting them into the room.

"Great! So we can speak normally," Yeji signaled to the others to follow her inside. Once inside, Neo let them sit.

"Hello, sir, but aren't you too young for this?" Lia inquired.

"I'm only 20. But if you have money, you can do almost anything you want. I've always seen you guys on the internet. Now that I'm looking at you in person, you're even more beautiful," Neo said, appreciating their beauty.

"Thank you! What's your name? It's kinda hard if we keep calling you 'sir,' haha," Ryujin said as she approached and sat on his lap. Her friends were a bit shocked; they hadn't expected Ryujin to do that.

"Don't be shocked, guys. I was nervous when we first got here, but it changed when I saw him; I was attracted," Ryujin said, shrugging her shoulder while leaning her head on Neo's chest.

"Hahaha, you sure are straightforward, and I like it. You guys can call me Neo," he said, wrapping his arm around Ryujin.

The others couldn't help but blush at the way the two behaved. This was their first time meeting, yet it felt more like a couple reuniting after a long time apart.
