[Returning home home]

Jun Hyuk came back to the New York apartment and started by cleaning. The doorbell rang while he was in the middle of sweeping and scrubbing. When he opened the door, lawyer Lim So Mi was holding bags in both hands. She had so many that even the condo security guard had come up with some.

“Huh? Ms. Lim. What are you doing here?”

“What do you mean why am I here? Hurry up and take these. My arms are going to fall off.”

When Jun Hyuk took the bags, she tipped the security guard and entered the living room.

“Wow, this house is great. Even grand pianos. Rich people really are different. Ho ho.”

She took a lap around the apartment and then opened the kitchen refrigerator as though it is her own house.

“I knew it. You did leave the house empty for half a year. Tsk tsk.”

Lawyer Lim So Mi threw out all of the dry and rotten food in the refrigerator, and started filling it with what she had brought over.

“Rest a bit. I’ll make food. I went grocery shopping. It’s been a while since you ate tonkatsu, right?”

Jun Hyuk jumped up from the sofa and waved his hand.

“Oh, Ms. Lim. I don’t need tonkatsu. I don’t feel so good because of the flight… I think a stew might be better.”

“Really? Then I’ll make you kimchi stew.”

Lawyer Lim So Mi made some noise in the kitchen and then put a decent looking stew in front of Jun Hyuk. Kimchi stew, a few side dishes, and even noodles.

But there was no difference between the tonkatsu and the stew. Jun Hyuk forced himself to eat the kimchi he was sure she had purchased at the Korean market.

Lawyer Lim So Mi watched Jun Hyuk eat and cautiously asked,

“But why did you give up all of a sudden?”

“I didn’t really have confidence in the performance. And that doesn’t mean that I can be nonchalant with the Boston Philharmonic.”

“Hm. This is the first time I’ve seen you say you don’t have confidence in something.”

“I could understand better while trying it out. Oh right. I’m sure you were put in an uncomfortable situation because of me.”

“Why? What’s uncomfortable?”

“Issues with the contract…..”

Lawyer Lim So Mi laughed and shook her head.

“It’s okay. I took the money from Boston monthly anyway. There was nothing more to receive and nothing to pay up. And the recording and performance weren’t mandatory conditions anyway… Actually, the Boston Philharmonic thanked you.”

“What are they thanking me for?”

“You recorded the album. I hear things too. They’re saying that’s going to be big.”

In Korean circles, there is a lot of talk that Lim So Mi caught a big fish. There are a lot of rumors that there will be tremendous contracts going forward.

When Jun Hyuk put his spoon down, she cleared the table. She pushed him away when he said that he would help, and told him to go rest.

“Jun Hyuk.”

“Yes.”

Lim So Mi wiped the table as she took a glance at Jun Hyuk.

“You look really tired.”
