Rebirth: King to Superstar

They walked out of the shop and Yun-hee immediately turned around towards Joon-won with her hands on hips as she demanded, "Brother why did you give that shirt away like that? You should have also demanded it, especially when they were so foul-mouthed and rude to us. Hmph! I didn't like that at all."

Joon-won shook his head as he had to calm the fiery Yun-hee down. He patted her head and just said, "Yun-hee you don't understand. It is not always about fighting. In that situation we could just ignore them, thinking they are some brainless monkeys and get on with our day. See our day went absolutely fine until now and one stupid situation would destroy that. So, let's just forget that and continue on shopping. Also where is dad? I didn't see him anywhere, plus do not tell him about this. Ok?" 

He knew Yun-hee was at the age where people are generally fearless and do not think about the consequences of their actions. So it was natural for Yun-hee who hasn't experienced much of the world and how it works in the favour of the powerful and rich to just get into trouble easily. These few years in University should be able to teach her at least a little bit of how the world works and how she could survive in it.

Yun-hee just nodded her head and replied, "When you went inside, Dad wanted to go.to the washroom. Even Jung-hwa wanted some water so she went out with him." 

Just as she said that they heard Min-Seok's voice in the distance calling out for them, "Joon-won, Yun-hee why are you guys out already? I thought Yun-hee found a nice shirt for you? Did you even try that? You should have bought a few clothes inside the store." As he fired questions when he got closer.

Joon-won looked as him and Jung-hwa who was walking right behind him with a water bottle in her hand came closer and replied, "No, I didn't like them much dad. Let's go to another store for now and check out other clothes." Min-Seok just nodded and Jung-hwa passed the water bottle in her hand around. After drinking some water all four of them continued their mini shopping spree as they next went for Joon-won's clothes. 

The day continued as after a while Joon-won and Min-Seom had a few bags in their hand, even Jung-hwa had one on each hand while Yun-hee was only holding a small bag, walking in the front like a princess. As she walked she suddenly turned around, clutching her stomach before saying with a sad expression, "Brother, all this walking around made me very hungry. Let's go eat something now." 

Joon-won just nodded as they made their way to the top floor where the food court was at with the movie theatre. Placing their bags to the side and leaving Min-Seok with them, they walked around the food court as Yun-hee pointed out any food she never tasted before. It was not long before they walked back with a tray in each hand. 

Min-Seok glanced at all the food and turned towards Yun-hee with a frown on his face, "Yun-hee why did you get so much food? There is no way all four of us are going to finish this much food. It's not good to waste food." 

Yun-hee just hid behind Joon-won a little and replied, "But I didn't have this food until now. I want to try new food. I won't do it again. I promise to finish all of them." Min-Seok just shook his head and they got to eating. Yun-hee of course couldn't finish them off as she slumped on her chair only after some time. Min-Seok saw that and was about to go off but Joon-won just stopped him telling them they were outside and wouldn't be nice to tell her off here, that seemed to do the trick as he just gave her glare and remained silent. 

Joon-won, who was a beast, wasn't going to let the food go to waste anyway either. So he just entered into his beast mode and just chowed down all the food at the end, not leaving even a single fry out. For him one of the biggest sins in the world is to waste food as there are many people out there who would do anything for that exact same good they wasted. 

After finishing their shot break, Joon-won checked the time and saw it was only 5 and so they still had some more time left to waste before going back. As he was thinking what to do next, Yun-hee pulled his shirt and pointed at the arcade area in the mall. He just nodded and so they went to the arcade next. 

They placed their bags in a locker outside the arcade before going in. Joon-won just got a card with some points in them to play as Yun-hee wnrt crazy with the card. She seemed to be adamant in trying out every game there was, even the boring ones. Joon-won also got into the action as he played a few games too. Jung-hwa was also having a good time as she got her own card to go ballistic with. 

Min-Seok and Joon-won stood to the side as they watched Yun-hee play a game with a smile. Yun-hee turned towards Joon-won and said, "This is the first time in a long time I've seen that girl smile like this. She always acts so mature and hides things from us." Joon-won nodded and just remained silent. 

After that Joon-won checked the time and saw it was already 7. They spent 2 hours in the arcade already and were also getting late. 

"Yun-hee come let's go now. Enough for today. You can come back later when you have a holiday. So let's go, it's late already." He shouted towards Yun-hee who was seriously playing a game. 

She didn't even turn around as she replied, "Alright, I'll be there in a second." And went on to play the game. Jung-hwa who heard him stopped playing her game and just walked towards them. 

Yun-hee held on to her words as she only played that one game before walking towards them reluctantly. She seemed to be enjoying the place very much, back in their town they also had an arcade and she was a regular customer there too, but that place didn't have as many games as this place did, so she naturally loved the place.

Joon-won just rubbed her head a little before saying, "As I said, now you know the place. When you have a holiday, you can come here later. See, dad is tired and wants to rest. Now let's go."

Yun-hee nodded and as they walked out with their bags, she turned towards Joon-won and asked, "So, are we eating outside for dinner? After all that I'm a bit hungry." 

But before Joon-won could answer, Min-Seok butted in as he reminded her a bit, "Yun-hee, you just ate a whole meal a few hours back and now you want to eat again? Don't mention food until we get back home. I'm cooking some light dinner today after all that junk food you had." Yun-hee just nodded as Joon-won shook his head. 

Min-Seok then turned towards Jung-hwa and said, "Jung-hwa you should also come for dinner. It's already a little late and you spent so much time with us even on your rest day. So come home with us for dinner."

Jung-hwa was shocked a little when she heard him and sneaked a glance at Joon-won who just gave her a short nod. He couldn't say anything after the offer was from Min-Seok. Seeing him nid she also nodded at Min-Seok before thanking him for the food in advance.

They quickly got out of the mall as people were still swarming in and it looked like it was even more than before. They were able to easily find a cab and were on their way back home. 

Reaching home, Yun-hee jumped on the couch, as her excitement finally cooled down and her body got tired from everything. Joon-won and Min-Seok just placed all the bags inside the room to sort out later and Joon-won walked out to leave Min-Seok to change his clothes.

Min-Seok came out and said to Jung-hwa, "Please feel free Jung-hwa. Go wash your face and get freshened up a little. Yun-hee stop rolling around on the couch like that. Go change your clothes now." And gave Yun-hee orders. They complied as Joon-won just sat on the couch going through his phone. 

He noticed a text from Gah Sol asking if his parents came back and if he was going to come to their University to join Yun-hee as he said before. He gave her a quick reply telling they would and set the phone aside
