Chapter 107 - I cant kill myself (1/2)
”How could you just disappear like that without leaving any note behind ?” Mr Park asked Jianjun as he placed two cups of coffee on the table. Jianjun ran his eyes over the place again. He was finally in Delight. But he felt it didn't really deserve the too much overration everyone had made it out to be. ”I had my reasons” He answered as he took a sip from his coffee.
”You were so young back then. We were all so worried about you and your sister.” He gave a deep sigh and also took a little sip of his coffee before he put it down and looked at Jianjun again.
”It's all in the past now” Jianjun said with a tiny smile.
Mr park nodded vigorously. ”Yes. It's all in the past now... But where is your sister? Her name was....”

”Oh. You must have actually forgotten her then. She came by recently. She asked whether I've heard from you all these years. I guess she still has some fire left” He grinned.
”I wanted to ask you something Mr Park” He quickly changed the topic. ”You seem to be of a high rank here.” He noticed how people greeted him when they entered.
Mr Park smiled when he said ”I am the head chef”
”Oh. Congratulations Mr Park. I am sincerely happy for you” He remembered when Mr Park was working for his parents as an assistant.
Mr Park warmly accepted Jianjun's good wishes.
