HIS SMILE

Chapter 75

"Can you please tell me more about Jinnie's childhood?" Jungkook asked after Hwasa sat down. "I want to know more about him."

"What can't be found with your status?"

"Your words are more vivid than a cold investigation report." Jungkook slowly shook his head. "I'm not willing to use this disrespectful way to learn about Jinnie's past."

Hwasa's face softened a lot. "What do you want to know?"

"What does he like and dislike..."

Hwasa stared at Jungkook for a few seconds before suddenly smiling. "Boss, a child who grew up in a welfare home has no power to choose what they like or dislike."

The schoolbags they wore were bought by the welfare home's staff or sent by well-intentioned people and the quality was good. As long as the things were in good condition and clean, they liked it all.

Jungkook couldn't imagine how Jin grew up.

"If, I mean if..." Hwasa's smile became extremely bitter. "Jinnie really likes to study. If there is a chance then let him finish university."

Even she didn't know what Jinnie's favorite things were.

"Jinnie likes to eat strawberry but hates strawberry flavor." Jungkook told her. "He likes vegetables with green leaves and doesn't like things like lentils, string beans and okra. However, he likes tomatoes."

Hwasa was stunned. In her memories, the common vegetables like lentils and green beans were often eaten at the welfare home. Every time, Jinnie would eat them cleanly and never leave anything behind.

"Tomatoes..." She remembered that Jinnie had a big appetite since he was a child. Once he came back from school, it wasn't dinner time yet and he was hungry. The aunt who was cooking often called him and stuffed him with a rice ball or tomato.

Every time, Jinnie squatted in the cooking group and ate everything cleanly. Then he would help the staff to sweep the floor or wash the vegetables. Every time tomatoes were brought into the yard, Jinnie liked to go to the kitchen group. It turned out that it was to eat more tomatoes. At that time, she was busy taking the university entrance examination and busy going to university. She never carefully observed Jinnie's hobbies.

"Jinnie also hates taro." Jungkook bowed his head, looking a bit lonely. "However, he is so good. No matter what the cook at home makes, he says it is delicious."

"Sometimes I wish he was a bit more capricious and can make trouble, telling me he wants to buy a house or a car." Jungkook stated, "I think that Jinnie should have what other children have. Regardless of whether it is financially or mentally, he must have it."

Hwasa, "......"

Fortunately, he and Jinnie were together and couldn't have children. Otherwise, he would raise a naughty child. How could he be so proud about letting his child be naughty?

After the meal, President Seo originally intended to invite Jin and Chanyeol to relax at an entertainment venue. Then he thought about the relationship between Jin and Mr. Jungkook and dismissed the idea.

He wanted to take the two people to play in a clean place but he was afraid the matter would spread to Mr. Jungkook's ears and become dirty. Then he would have to bear the blame.
