Back To Korea (Beginning of Karma.)

"Oh yes, father. We are prepared, and I am going out with Yeri to check out the ring I have picked for us. It's a new ring that I asked to be designed a special for us," Hwang Seung Min said softly while Mrs. Kim smiled.

"Oh, you young generation are something else. You could have just bought one instead of asking them to design a specific one; that must cost a lot," Mrs. Kim said while Yeri shrugged.

"Mom, don't say that. He has made the right decision by getting us a new design of his ideas," Yeri said sweetly and rested her head on Seung Min's shoulder.

"Let them be; since the young man can afford it, let him spoil his wife-to-be," Mr. Kim said, and all of them laughed together.

"That's it for now; you may go wherever you're going," Mr. Kim said while Yeri and Seung Min stood up, holding each other as they walked out, leaving Mr. and Mrs. Kim in the sitting room.

"They're so cute," Mrs. Kim said, smiling, while Mr. Kim nodded.

In Lee Ho Joon's office, he was busy with papers when a call came through on his phone. He sluggishly looked up tiredly and glanced at his phone before he answered the call.

"Hello, Mr. Lee Ho. It's me, Hyesun..." Immediately the caller mentioned her name, Lee Ho gritted his teeth as he realized he had completely forgotten that Hyesun was coming back to Korea that day.

"Are you there, Mr. Lee Ho? Could you please send someone to pick me up at the airport? I'm sorry for disturbing you, but I couldn't reach the cab that was supposed to pick me up," Hyesun said, causing Lee Ho Joon to stand up from his chair.

"Yes, of course. I'll send someone to pick you up immediately," Lee Ho Joon said and hung up, dialing a number and talking briefly to a person before he walked out of his office, exiting the company.

Hyesun was driven to the LJ Hotel. She walked to the reception area.

"Hello, is there a comfortable suite I can stay in for a while? Of course, there will be, judging from how big and popular the hotel is," Hyesun asked and answered herself, letting out a soft laugh, causing the receptionist to chuckle and bow to her.

"Hello, Ms. Yes, we have a comfortable suite that will suit your taste. May I know your name, ma'am? You don't have to worry; your information is safe with us," the receptionist said while Hyesun nodded and smiled.

"Great, then can I have a key to one of your comfortable suites, please?" Hyesun said with a soft smile. Just then, a tall middle-aged man walked towards the reception, and the receptionists at the front desk quickly bowed to him.

"Hello, sir," the receptionists greeted and bowed to him respectfully.

Hyesun didn't bother to look behind her to see who the receptionists were greeting in such a respectful manner until the man's voice spoke to her.

"Hello, Ms. Are you Ms. Hyesun?" the man said, causing Hyesun to turn back and look at him. She looked at the man and didn't recognize his face, which confused her.

"Huh, yes, I am. Do I know you?" Hyesun asked softly.

"No, Miss. I'm Manager Eun Woo. I was informed by the chairman to accompany you to the top-tier VIP room that has been booked for you, ma'am," Manager Eun Woo said, causing all the receptionists at the front desk to gasp.

"Wow, she is close to the chairman and still polite this way? Wow, she is such a nice person, judging from her personality," one of the receptionists whispered to the other.

"Hey, lower your voice, idiot," one of them pinched the talkative one to shut up.

Hyesun, on the other hand, was confused.

"The chairman?" she thought to herself and looked up at the man who called himself the manager.

"Do you mean Mr. Lee Ho Joon?" she asked casually while the manager nodded his head.

"You're right, Miss. Yes, Mr. Lee Ho Joon," Manager Eun Woo said softly.

Hyesun twitched her mouth before she nodded her head slowly.

"Okay, how do I get to the room he has booked then?" Hyesun asked while the man turned to the receptionist in charge.

"Give me the key to the top-tier VIP room booked by the chairman yesterday," the manager said, and the receptionist quickly handed the key to him.

"Okay, Miss, I will accompany you to your suite," Manager Eun Woo said, but Hyesun shook her head.

"It's okay, Manager, you don't have to accompany me, so don't bother," Hyesun said while the manager smiled and bowed his head slightly.

"Okay, Miss, if you say so. Here is the key. Enjoy your stay, and please let me know if you have any questions or find anything uncomfortable. If you want any service, please don't hesitate to let me know," the manager said softly and politely.

Hyesun nodded her head as she collected the key and mouthed a thank you before leaving. She walked through the lobby, leading to the designated hallway that led her to the elevator bank.

She walked out of the elevator while she admired every design she came across until she reached her suite number.

The top-tier VIP room is bigger and larger than all other VIP suites, which are called VVIP suites for important guests.

Hyesun walked into her suite after using the card given to her to open the door.

As she entered, her mouth dropped open in amazement.

"Wow, this is so amazing! No wonder it's called the VVIP room," Hyesun said to herself while she walked in fully, checking out all the rooms in the suite.

The setting, the kitchen, the dining area, the room, the bathroom and toilet, and the balcony are all spacious, with TVs in both the living room and bedroom.

Hyesun settled down and went to the bathroom for a warm bath in the bathtub, spending almost an hour before returning to her room to rest.

Her phone rang as she walked to the bed, and she picked it up.

She frowned upon seeing the caller ID.

It's her cousin, Lawdeus Mayward. She met him during her time in New York.

Lawdeus Mayward is a cool, tall, handsome guy. He is so annoying but nice, and one must say he and Hyesun find each other getting along well, even though Lawdeus annoys Hyesun so much with his playful but irritating jokes.

Hyesun picked up the call and twitched her mouth before speaking.

"Hey, you just called at the wrong time. I need to rest after the long journey," Hyesun softly said while taking a seat on the sofa next to the bed.

"Haha, there shouldn't be a rest for the wicked, sweetheart," Lawdeus Mayward said with a playful voice on the other side of the phone.

"You idiot, don't start tonight; I'm not in the mood for your annoying voice," Hyesun said with no expression, rolling her eyes as if she weren't talking on the phone but seeing the person right in front of her.

"Haha, you know without my voice you are not going to feel better. My voice is angelic, and all women love to hear it," Lawdeus Mayward said, laughing on the phone.

"Ewww, Lawdeus, women who like your voice are insane. Now get off my phone; I want to rest, and don't you dare disturb me with calls; you're so annoying," Hyesun said, gritting her teeth while speaking on the phone.

"Hey, chill, dear cousin. Why are you always quick-tempered, huh? Lol, well, I will be in Korea next week, so get ready not only to hear my annoying voice but also to see my handsome face," Lawdeus said mockingly.

"Whatever. Bye." Hyesun said and quickly ended the call before standing and walking to the bed.

"God, I shouldn't have met this annoying cousin of mine. Aunt is gentle and nice; God knows who he inherited such an annoying attitude from," Hyesun said to herself and slumped hard on the bed, screaming to relax.

Hyesun's stomach growled, causing her to jump and sit upright on the bed, holding her stomach.

"I'm too hungry but tired to move around. Maybe ordering food will help," she said to herself and glanced at the landline on the bedside drawer.

She dialed the service number and was answered politely.

"Umm, can I have bacon and eggs in my room, please?" Hyesun said to the person on the phone while she mentioned her room number and hung up, waiting patiently for her food to arrive.

When the food arrived in her room, she thanked the room service staff while she had her meal, eating to her satisfaction and humming until she was full and content.

"Ahh, now I can get to bed without any worries or a noisy stomach," Hyesun said to herself and smiled happily while walking back to her room to rest for the night.

Her mind drifted to Mr. Lee Ho Joon.

"Why isn't he calling me? He should at least call me, right? He booked this spacious VVIP room for me but hasn't even called to know if I am comfortable. Whatever."
