Mastering the essence of life meant finding joy in the small things and persevering through immense challenges. She embraced this philosophy wholeheartedly, willingly bearing the burden of pain as a stepping stone towards personal growth and improvement.
The night had brought a wave of unfamiliar emotions and thoughts for her to navigate. Tossing and turning in bed, sleep evaded her as she replayed that unexpected moment over and over in her mind. Despite the disastrous dinner, the brief interaction with JongSuk's former mentor had left a lasting impression, a small but heartwarming exchange amidst the chaos.
A sense of tranquility washed over her, a strange yet comforting feeling of peace settling in. Even though Jennie, her only confidante, seemed distant and unable to offer the support she craved during her moments of emotional turmoil, she still longed for her friend's presence. However, their recent disconnect had only widened the rift between them in the past few days.
Her mind drifted back to that serene evening stroll. The tranquility and beauty of the moment had been a balm for her soul, offering a brief respite from the chaos of daily life.
Jennie observed Jisoo from across the counter, noting the unusual distraction in her demeanor. Leaning against the table, Jisoo absentmindedly feigned cleaning the display fridge, her distant expression betraying inner turmoil. Strangely, despite the evident turmoil, there was a hint of contentment and happiness in her eyes, adding a layer of complexity to the situation.
Jennie found herself taken aback by Jisoo's unusual expression, as in the past it had often been a reaction to JongSuk's spoiled behavior. Chewing on the insides of her cheeks, Jennie pondered the significance of Jisoo's peculiar demeanor that morning, trying to decipher its underlying meaning.
Once the bakery was tidied up, they swung open the doors to welcome the public. Within moments, the first customers trickled in, eager to start their day with a delicious breakfast from the bakery.
The day was a success, with everything flying off the shelves at a rapid pace. The two women working tirelessly in the bakery were determined to ensure that each and every customer left satisfied with their delicious treats. As the clock struck eleven, signaling the usual slowdown in breakfast sales, they could finally relax knowing they had done their best for the day.
After two hours of non-stop breakfast service, Jennie returned to clearing the now-empty tables. Her gaze swept across the room, checking in on the remaining customers to ensure they had everything they needed. But her attention was quickly captured by the flat screen TV, where the morning news was playing. There, she saw a familiar face - the same man who had been coming in for bread on several occasions in the past few weeks, his presence now raising suspicions in her mind.
"Did you hear? The new heirs of the K-Group have been announced!"
"Seriously?"
"Yes, I heard it was just a rumor, but it turns out to be true!"
"Well, it was bound to happen... Jung Taehoon wouldn't let his half-brother take over the K-Group."
"He'd sooner die than allow that!"
"So, does that mean his youngest son relented?"
"Did his son finally agree to take on the inheritance?"
"I thought he was out of the country!"
"It's possible, especially now that he's returned..."
"I think he was just avoiding the spotlight!"
"But you're correct... the youngest son must have finally agreed to honor his father's wishes and take on the responsibility of leading the K-Group alongside his older brother!"
