Chapter 133 - Song Jae Ho Teasing His Son

"Jae Ho, I am seriously considering what you suggested last week" Lee Myung Soo seriously said.

Song Jae Ho was shocked, "Are you serious?" he questioned as he didn't expect Lee Myung Soo to consider his proposal so soon.

"Hmm"

"May I know what suddenly changed your mind as you were reluctant when I suggested this" Song Jae Ho knew his friend very well.

"I was reluctant because I underestimated your son" Lee Myung Soo replied.

"And now what changed?" Song Jae Ho questioned him.

Lee Myung Soo then informed him of the whole story that took shape in the last two days.

"What? Kiaraa was at our home all this while?" Song Jae Ho was shocked as he really had no idea about it. His sons managed very well.

"Yeah"

"This kind of thing is something I can expect from Song Ji Hwan but Song Ji Hun hiding a girl in his room, it is weird" Song Jae Ho voiced his opinion.

"They were not having an affair, they were studying" Lee Myung Soo clarified again as Jae Ho's words sounded wrong.

"Yeah, I know but still, you don't know Song Ji Hun, this is not something he would ever do" Song Jae Ho said.

"Anyway, the point is they will be studying like this for the next few weeks. If needed manage your wife and help your son" Lee Myung Soo formally said.

"Yeah, don't worry about it. I am proud of Ji Hun that he is sharing his knowledge with Kiaraa"

"Hmm, I am thankful to him too" Lee Myung Soo honestly said.

"Is that the reason you decided to take my suggestion of involving Song Ji Hun?" Song Jae Ho again asked his friend going back to their initial conversation.

"No, no. When Kiaraa told me about Song Ji Hun and his knowledge, I was honestly impressed" Lee Myung Soo confessed.

"Wow, when I praised my son, you took it for granted but when your daughter did the same, you are taking it seriously. I am so offended that an eighteen-year-old has more importance than me in your life" Song Jae Ho jovially teased his friend.

"Don't be so over dramatic" Lee Myung Soo chuckled.

"You really think Song Ji Hun is ready for it?" Song Jae Ho asked his friend.

"Weren't you the one, who suggested we involve him?" Lee Myung Soo got confused.

"Yeah, because I assumed if I ask you now, by the time you will agree to it, almost a year will pass away. I didn't expect you to agree so soon" Song Jae Ho informed him.

"Hahaha, I think it is the right time to involve him and now I have a feeling he will be able to manage everything well" Lee Myung Soo assured his friend.

"Hmm, but if he refuses to be a part of it then we will respect his decision" Song Jae Ho warned his friend in advance.

"Is there a chance of him saying no?" 

"Yeah, Song Ji Hun is unpredictable" Song Jae Ho knew his son well.

"Fine, if he refuses, we will respect his decision" Lee Myung Soo too doesn't believe in forcing people to do something against their will.

"Thanks"

The two friends had some casual conversation for a while before hanging up.

…

After Song Jae Ho stepped out of his study room, he found his elder son standing outside the door, evidently waiting for him.

"Dad, I have something to discuss with you" Song Ji Hun said as soon as he saw his father.

"Hmm, come in"

The two men stepped inside; Song Ji Hun sat on the chair across his father's.

"I guess Mr Lee already informed you of what I did today." Song Ji Hun directly came on point.

"Yeah, I was surprised as I didn't realize Kiaraa's presence in our home at all"

"We managed well" Song Ji Hun lightly smiled.

"It is so unlike you to do something like this. If it was Hwan, who sneaked a girl to his room, I wouldn't have been surprised at all, but you…"

"We were only studying. I was teaching her some business case studies, that's it" Song Ji Hun immediately interrupted his dad to clarify of the situation.

"Even that is very unlike you. Since when did you become a saint to invest your time on something where you won't be getting any gains and returns" Song Jae Ho said.

"She is our family friend and we know the Lees for years, so…"

"Since when have you started caring about relations which are not associated with you?" Song Jae Ho interrupted his son.

"Dad, I was just doing it out of goodwill" Song Ji Hun felt scared as there was a good chance that his father might see through him.

"You think I am a fool? To believe in your nonsense?" Song Jae Ho busted his son.

"What do you mean, dad? What other intentions can I have?" Ji Hun counter-questioned his dad.

"That's what I am trying to figure out because the conclusion I am currently reaching is a bit too extreme" Song Jae Ho rubbed his chin suspiciously.

"Dad, you are overthinking"

"Why are you sweating?" Song Jae Ho pointed at his son's forehead.

"I am not sweating" Song Ji Hun touched his forehead which was dry.

Song Jae Ho laughed at his son's state, "Don't tell me you have fallen for Myung Soo's daughter and therefore you are doing all of this"

"Dad, don't talk like mom" Song Ji Hun tried to stay calm to not make it obvious that his father has hit the bullseye.

"Your mom doesn't see what is actually happening, she sees what she wants to see. Now I think, years ago she took the promise from the wrong person" 

Song Jae Ho laughed recollecting the day his wife made his younger son, Hwan promise her that he will never get involved with Kiaraa.

"I don't know what you are talking about" Song Ji Hun clearly understood what his dad meant but he intentionally acted ignorant.

"You know what I am talking about. Now tell me, am I right? Is my hypothesis on point?" Song Jae Ho smiled at his son.

"Dad…"

"Don't you dare lie to me" Song Jae Ho warned his son.

"I was helping her because she begged him and I thought fine, sharing knowledge is not bad, so I agreed. Can you please stop misinterpreting my intentions" Song Ji Hun didn't give in to the truth.

"Ji Hun, I am your father. I went through your age before reaching mine. You really think I am going to believe you are helping someone without getting anything in return?"

"Dad, enough. You are now questioning my character. I am offended right now"

Song Jae Ho chuckled, "You are acting so desperate to get out of this situation. I never thought I'll corner you like this" Ji Hun's father was clearly enjoying his helpless state.

Ji Hun didn't say anything and looked annoyed.

"So, since when have you been interested in Kiaraa? Or did the crush develop recently?" Song Jae Ho asked his son, irritating him even more.

Song Ji Hun didn't answer his father and continued staring at him, angrily.

"Should I hint to your mom that you probably like Kiaraa?" Song Jae Ho tried to blackmail his son indirectly.

"Do that if you want to freak her out" Song Ji Hun calmly said.

Song Jae Ho again laughed, "Don't worry, I won't do so, I was just kidding. How can I create problems for my son in his love story? I am a very supportive father, you see." Song Jae Ho teased his son.

He was having a lot of fun doing so as this was the first time he got hold on his elder son. There were times he teased Song Ji Hwan a lot but never troubled Song Ji Hun like this, as this perfect son of his never gave him a chance to do so until today.

"I'll take my leave I have some work to do" Song Ji Hun stood up from his seat as his father was making him lose his patience.

"Ji Hun, come on don't run away from the truth like this" Jae Ho didn't give up and still continued teasing.

"Dad enough is enough, if you really think I have some other intentions in helping Kiaraa, then I'll call her right away and will tell her we won't be continuing these lessons from now on"

Song Ji Hun didn't mean it but he was sure his father will stop teasing him if he acts like this and it indeed worked.

"Okay, okay, calm down. I'll stop teasing, happy?" Song Jae Ho assured him.

"Thanks"

"I am surprised, you have a girl's number in your phone" As soon as Jae Ho teased his son, he got glared at by him but the next second, Jae Ho promised this was the last one.

"Ji Hun, tomorrow after your college is over, I would like to take you somewhere" His father informed him.

"Anything important?" Ji Hun asked.

"Hmm, very important"

"Okay" Song Ji Hun agreed to it and left from there unknown of what he is going to face the next day.
