Chapter 99 - Surprise Party
2 Years Later, 2009
There was a surprise party at the Song Mansion to celebrate Song Ji Hun's success in the CSAT exam.
He achieved very high scores in it and a good rank. It is a piece of cake for him to get admission in whatever Korean University he wants and that too in any field.
Song Ji Hun also gave SATs to apply for colleges in The United States.
He still didn't make up his mind if he wants to stay in Korea and learn business management here or he should leave the country.
The last two years were very hectic for him, as they were crucial years of his life and he too didn't let himself get distracted with other things.
He tried not to think a lot about Kiaraa as she was the biggest distraction in his life.
Song Ji Hun managed to do so as Ian too was busy with his own studies.
He and Ian were in the same class and they both had CSAT and SATs to prepare for.
So, he had nothing to worry about Ian and Kiaraa growing closer.
Also, Hwan was there to keep an eye on Kiaraa and Ian, so Ji Hun didn't bother himself about them.
Ian too got great scores in CSAT. His parents Sa Da-Hye and Kim Hoon are planning a surprise for him too.
Song Ji Hun and Yang Nam-il entered the Song Mansion after attending a small gathering with their other friends when suddenly the dark place turned bright and a lot of people present there shouted in unison.
SURPRISE!!!
Song Ji Hun was taken aback to see all these people.
"This surprise party is for you, in your honour as you got great scores" Yang Nam-il, who too was involved in planning this party with the Songs whispered to Song Ji Hun.
"You know I hate such things, then why would you let them.." Ji Hun annoyedly whispered back to his friend.
"Because I wanted to annoy you, now smile and thank your parents, they put a lot of efforts in making these arrangements." Yang Nam-il cut-off Ji Hun in the mid-sentence and asked him to act along.
"I am so proud of you, Ji Hun" Song Jae Ho stepped forward to congratulate his son.
"Dad, you could have said the same when we are alone. Why to do all of this in front of all these people?" Song Ji Hun slowly whispered to his father when he came forward to hug him.
"Your mom planned all of this, I am truly sorry" Song Jae Ho could understand his son as Ji Hun was just like him but in front of Ji Seo Yun's stubbornness, he couldn't do anything else.
"Why did you let her?" Song Ji Hun complained clearly annoyed by this party.
"Because I love her" Song Jae Ho silenced his son with his one reply and moved away.
Song Ji Hun wondered in future will he too would do anything for Kiaraa, even if he is not comfortable with it and the answer surprised him.
He was finally able to understand his father and a few of his decisions which he never agreed with.
"I am so glad you did well" Ji Seo Yun came forward and hugged her eighteen-year-old son, who was now taller than her.
"Thanks mom" Song Ji Hun smiled back not wishing to hurt her.
"Hyung" Song Ji Hwan came forward next making Ji Hun wonder why his family is wishing him again as all these hugs and congratulations already happened as soon as the result was out.
But for his family's sake he kept up with their overacting.
"Mom and dad's overacting I can understand, but why are you doing this?" Song Ji Hun questioned his younger brother, who was now almost as tall as him.
"Because it is fun putting you on a spot like this and irritating you" Song Ji Hwan then pecked on Song Ji Hun's left cheek, embarrassing him even more in front of all the guests.
"Why would you.."
"Ji Hun, we are all so proud of you dear" Lee Myung Soo stepped forward to congratulate him so Song Ji Hun stopped scolding his brother and went ahead to politely greet his uncle.
"This bastard is already trying to win brownie points with his future father-in-law" Song Ji Hwan whispered to Yang Nam-il as these two were standing a bit far from other guests.
"Hey, don't call your elder brother a bastard" Yang Nam-il surprised Song Ji Hwan but the next minute he said, "Call him a manipulative asshole instead"
Song Ji Hwan tried to control his laughter, "Hmm, a better tag it is"
"Thank you"
Then one by one many guests greeted and congratulated Song Ji Hun, annoying him but he politely accepted their wishes and bowed to his elders.
"Mom, dad, please don't throw such weird parties for me, this is super embarrassing" Ian requested his parents in a low volume seeing Song Ji Hun's condition.
"Don't worry, our surprise is much happening and cool. Don't forget we are the coolest parents here" Sa Da-Hye proudly exclaimed.
"Haha, such a narcissist woman your mom is" Kim Hoon smiled looking at his wife with adoration.
"You two are so cute, I wish I and Kiaraa can be like this someday" Ian voiced his thoughts frankly with his parents as he doesn't hide his feelings from them.
"We wish the same for you" Sa Da-Hye happily declared.
"Are you two already dating?" Kim Hoon curiously asked his son.
"Seriously dad? If I had been dating her, wouldn't I tell you?" Ian narrowed eyes at his father for asking him a silly question.
"Exactly, don't you think it is high time you confess your feelings for her? I think she is waiting for your confession" Kim Hoon tried to motivate his son.
"Ian, please plan a wonderful proposal. You should beat your dad's proposal" Sa Da-Hye motivated her son.
"Let me first get into a good college, settle down well and then I'll think about it" Ian shared his plans.
