Rebirth: King to Superstar

Chapter 162 - Family Time (III)



"Woah! This mall is way bigger than the one back at home. Both of them do not compare at all. So many people, back at our town I never saw these many people. This isn't the biggest one yet, right Sister Jung-hwa?" Yun-hee spoke with amazement in her voice as she looked at the huge mall in front of her. They just got of the cab and Yun-hee was completely taken back by seeing the sea of people and the large mall in front of them. 

Jung-hwa nodded and replied, "Yee, this isn't the largest mall in the town. The largest one should be in the inner area of the city but it's a waste to go there. Everything is very costly and you need an exclusive membership card to even enter the shops there. I heard they give that card only to the people who spend at least 500k Kros in that shop. The shops here have more affordable clothes and things. Also the people? This is a common sight. I came here a few times the past year and even then I'm amazed every time I see it. So let's go." As she also looked around.. 

Joon-won who was at the back decided to speak at that moment and said to Yun-hee, "Alright, there are way too many people than I expected. Catch Jung-hwa's hand so that you don't get lost in the crowd. Let's take our time and not rush things. If you see anything you want, then just come to me first. Got it?" Making Yun-hee nod like a rabbit. She was very excited to go in. It was the first time even Joon-won came to the mall. He only went to a smaller mall back at the outer area of the city.

He turned back to see Min-Seol checking his wallet while deeply thinking about something. Joon-won instantly knew that look and just went beside him before saying, "Dad, don't think much about the price and everything. I brought you guys here to relax and I'll pay for everything. I have enough money for this. Ok? So just relax for now and accompany Yun-hee and me." 

Min-Seok looked at him and said, "But.." 

Joon-won quickly shook him and interrupted the man, "No buts. Just listen to me this once. I have enough money from the drama house and the movieI just acted in. So do not worry. Ok?" And at last Min-Seok just nodded.

Finally Joon-won turned towards Yun-hee who was almost jumping and looking at him with her puppy eyes, asking permission to go in. He finally nodded and she immediately turned around as if she was about to sprint only to be stopped by Jung-hwa who was catching her hand. The grouo slowly made their way through the crowd and got inside the place. The inside of the mall was a bit more spacious and didn't have that many people.

Yun-hee looked around at the shops in the front and Joon-won said, "Alright, let's first go and see that area map over there. It shows which shop is on which floor. Alright?" Pointing at a huge board at the side. Yun-hee nodded and made her way to the side as she analysed the board. 

She came back after a few minutes and said to Joon-won, "Brother I got a plan." 

Joon-won nodded and said, "Alright then let's go." And the group started their journey through the sea of people in the mall as they went from shop to shop. Yun-hee didn't do anything in most of the shops except check out the clothes for a while before saying she didn't like them. This continued on for a while before Joon-won stopped her and said.

"Why are you hesitating to buy? I brought you here, so it's ok to buy a few clothes. I can afford a few clothes now. Ok?" Yun-hee just looked at him for a few seconds before slowly nodding. 

After that they continued on to the next store and Yun-hee finally bought a few clothes for herself. Joon-won nodded, seeing her buy some things for herself. With how their family situation was since their childhood both of them were very conscious when it came to money and especially Yun-hee who had a much more mature mind compared to the previous Joon-won. 

"Brother, come here. Try these both. I think they would suit you." Yun-hee shouted while clutching a pair of jeans and shirt in her hand. 

He looked at her and said, "You should first buy your clothes. I can come here anytime but you can't. Your University doesn't allow students, especially females, to come out before their second year. So just continue with your shopping." That was true in many universities. Because of many crimes which women fell victims to, many schools and Universities take this policy for their safety, of course if students actually follow it or not is an entirely different topic to discuss. They would only allow them a pass to go out if a guardian arrives and picks them up.

Jung-hwa shook her head and simply said, "No, I took a peek into your cupboard before when I was changing my clothes. You have no new and good clothes. Don't tell me you go to meetings and meet directors in those casual wear you have? So come try some formal wear, it makes you look better." 

Min-Seok also nodded and said, "Joon-won I also noticed the clothes. You should buy new ones. Appearance is something that random people judge you with before anything else. So looking neat and good will give you an edge over others. Now go try some clothes." 

Joon-won just looked at them and said, "Why were you both going through my cupboard in the room? Alright just give me that and I'll go change." He was also planning to buy new clothes lately but just didn't have the time to do so and so took the clothes from them before going in.

After changing his clothes, he came out and noticed no one was outside before hearing an argument at the side. He turned to see Yun-hee fighting with someone else while clutching a shirt. 

"Who are they fighting with? Wait, isn't that person Hea-Jung's dog?" As he noticed one of the men who was fighting with Yun-hee. It was Hae Yongsun, the dog of Hea-Jung as he followed her everywhere. He slowly walked up towards the group and pulled Yun-hee back before asking her what was happening.

Yun-hee was far from scared even after seeing a few older boys. She worked in an underground for a while and saw many things at that time. So she was far from feeling scared of a few people like them. 

Yun-hee looked at her brother and said, "Brother, I was taking this shirt and this guy came over to snatch it from me. When I asked him politely he just said to piss off." Pointing at one of Hae Yongsun's friends who seemed to have an argument with her. 

Joon-won knew this was just a misunderstanding and both parties wanted the same shirt. He just smiled and asked her, "Why don't you ask the store clerk if there was another shirt? Why get into an argument with them?" 

"I did but this shirt had limited stock and so there aren't many anymore." 

"Hey, stop muttering to yourself. You seem like her brother. Why are you not teaching your sister any manners. She isn't even respectful towards her husbands. I guess all poor people are like that. Tch." As the guy Yun-hee pointed out shouted at him before even cursing them a little at the end. Joon-won just shook his head before turning toward them.

"You want this shirt? Please you can have it? We will look for other ones. Come Yun-hee, let's check the other shops too." As he handed the shirt over and turned to leave. He didn't want any nonsense on a good day like that and so he just gave them what they wanted.

The man seemed to have been caught off guard as he only watched them walk away from the store. He looked at his friends before Hae Yongsun, who was silent, walked up to him and murmured something in his ears. The guy seemed to have learnt something as he nodded in silence before walking away.

Hae Yongsun looked at the exit before saying under his breath, "You damn junior. I never thought I would meet you here and it looks like your sister got in a fight with the worst man possible. Hmph! Take my Hea-Jung, just see how worse I make your life." This guy seemed to have fed some poison to the guy earlier and was very confident. The thing he didn't know was that even if Joon-won heard this he would only shrug it off and not think much about his little threats.
