SUMMER TIME

”The YoonSu Resort will soon be release, and since this is an ideal resort for every person, we need to gather personnel and people that will make this resort alive all summer” President Yoon said as he cross his feet together.

An old business man, named President Yoon Sung bought a resort in the province of Jeju. He is a successful business man in Seoul and he wants to be as successful in the province.

“Shall we call your sons?” asked by man standing beside the president, “I’ll call them immediately, just order me sir.”

“Just call Sun, he’s the best person for the job” the president said, “Also, for him to put his butt on to work, he’s been slacking a lot in Seoul lately. Call him and tell him to go here right a way” he said rolling his eyes.

“Yes, sir”

He is the president of a huge Tourist company in Seoul and bought a resort in Jeju for a property. Despite the president’s appearance, he’s a rich old man. But unlike the other wealthy people, he’s different. Married his wife for business purposes and had sons, Ju Jin and Sun. The only thing that he dreams of is for his two sons to have his wealth and to continue his job.

***

The man from before, who is the assistant of the president, is in the lobby of the huge company building at the middle of the resort. The building is called YoonSu Bldg. it is where the president and other men discuss business relates for the resort project.

The assistant who is in his 40s dialed in his phone. The ringing can be heard all over the empty lobby since it was pretty quiet.

“Hello, Mr. Sun? This is Cheoul, your father wants you to go here immediately” he said in a profound manner. Then there was a paused.

“Yes sir, there’s a work waiting for you here. Please let your father explain everything when you get here” he said again.

“Please sir, your father will be waiting for you and ---“he said but was interrupted by the hang up tone.

Without any reaction, the assistant went up by an elevator and went straight to the office from before. When he open the door he immediately bow his head, “Sir your son, hanged up on me…” he said.

“That little devil…” the president said who wears an irritated face.

The assistant raised his head, “But, I have a feeling that he’ll come, president”

Disappointed, the president stood up from his seat and went to the wide open window beside him. He is looking at the beautiful ocean ahead of him. "I always want the ocean to be by my side..." he whispered as he place his two hands at his back.

Sun is a useless twenty years old. He lives alone in Seoul and never gets to work. He likes hanging around gyms and bars in the city and goes with friends most of the time. He has no interest in what his father does: business, meetings, financial relates and other business stuffs. He builds his body; he’s pretty masculine, that is why he prefer jobs that uses physical strengths. He is stubborn, short-tempered and with lots of pride which he inherited from his father.

While Ju Jin, is the opposite of Sun. He is currently in charge of the company that his father left in Seoul. A commercial company that deals with tourism and he is managing it on his own. Tall and handsome guy just like his younger brother, but his image is just too formal and well-mannered. He is responsible, intelligent and a gentleman, qualities that he inherited from his father.

It is still not summer, but the temperature is heating up. The ocean still retains its refreshing aqua blue color. The resort owns the wide ocean ahead. The beach have white sands and the warm salty breeze circulates to that place alone. The place is like a paradise and well preserved. Yes, summer will be here anytime soon and the scenery of the place is stunning.

“Wow, I love the beach!” sighed by a tall and masculine guy with shades and wearing his unbuttoned suit. He is standing at the side of his black sports car holding his black jacket.

“Welcome Sir Sun, we’ve been expecting you…” said by a familiar voice

Sun took his sunglasses off, and turns to the guy not far from him, greeting him with a bowed head. After seeing the person he smiled at the assistant.

“Oh~ Mr. Cheoul, it’s been a while!” Sun greeted back as he walk near the assistant and gave him a big hug, “How’s my father?” he asked as he removes his arms around the Mr. Cheoul.

“He’s doing just fine, he’s quite happy about his new resort” he replied with a mild smile on his face. He suddenly changed his way of talking, unlike before when he was talking to the president, he is talking casually at Sun.

Mr. Cheoul is the long time assistant of the Yoon Family. The president fully trusts him in business matters and Sun treats him as his second father. He serves and guides the family every now and then, after his wife died, he dedicated his whole life in serving the Yoon Family.

“Your father is waiting for you in the building, let’s go” he begun.

“Alright…” Sun replied placing his arms around the assistant’s scrawny shoulders, “I have a feeling that summer is going to be interesting!” he added as both of them started walking with smiles on their faces.

Not too far from the resort, a village lies there. A lively village of people relaying on the things that only nature offers. Compose of a small population; the people trusts only themselves and most of them know each other. There is a market, a pier, houses around the village, vacant lots, bars and many more. At the heart of the village a market stays. An active market that sells almost sea foods from the ocean and other healthy food like vegetable that they planted.

SoRa owns a mini restaurant in the market. She lives there with her sister and grandfather. She’s a good cook and dreams of being a cook outside of their village. Regardless of her appearance, she is a bit tomboy-ish. Even if she wears thin dresses and thin shirts, add short shorts, she's strong and acts like boy.

Her sister is far from her, Min Young, is a twenty-five year old teen who is really girly and fashionable. Even though they live far from the city, if you see her long brown shy hair and colorful clothes, you can't tell weither she's a village girl or a popstar. She is much older than her younger sister, SoRa. Even if you see her as a lazy-popstar at home, she works hard as a singer in a tourist company in their province far from their village.

“SoRa!! Guys! Have you heard the news?!” a girl shouted at the middle of the market with a really squeaky voice and wears a colorful hat with white feathers on it.

Someone with braided black hair ran out of the restaurant, “Min Young, what is it?!” she asked. And everyone at the market takes notice at the two sisters that are talking at the middle of the market.

“The YoonSu Bldg. needs a service providers for their resort this coming summer!!” she screeched with a really happy face.

The news that Min Young announced made everyone to rejoice! Because everyone knows how good is the opportunity waiting for the people working in their village.

“Seriously?!” SoRa asked feeling a bit excited, "I'm sure they will look for a cook?!"

“Yes!! And the resort plans to have negotiation with the people here!” she added as she wiggles her body around and keeps on smiling at the other people around her.

The people began chatting about it. They suddenly thought of, there is a chance that a lot of them will be chosen to work in the resort all summer. Like Dak-Ho's wine mini shop, Mrs. Yoo Hee’s massage service, Busan’s entertainment bar and of course SoRa’s restaurant. Since SoRa is famous all over the village because of her skills in cooking delicious dishes.

“This is a great opportunity for the people here!” an old woman said as she sways her hand to throw the flies away from her fishes.

“You’re right! It is good that the president will give the people work for the summer. I recommend SoRa’s restaurant, she cooks well and she gets a long with the people around her” a middle-aged woman said.

“No!” SoRa shouted on the other side of the side walk, “Not only me but everyone here deserves to work there!” she said with a huge smile on her face.

The two woman giggled, “SoRa is a nice kid, huh?” they said.

In an office at the third floor of YoonSu Bldg. is Mr. President’s office. The cold breeze from the air-conditioner wraps the whole office. In the office, the president is sited on an office chair with his legs crossed, sliding his chair slowly from side to side.

“Since you’re a good for nothing son, I want you to work this coming summer for a change” the president said in a teasing manner.

Sun didn’t defend himself since he knows that it is the truth. He raised his arms and placed it in front of his chest, letting his huge muscles fit his long sleeve suit. He wants to send a message of "Bring it on!" to his father from the muscles.

“Since you've been working out and the resort is brand new, I want you to be in charge of all the needs and activities of this resort” the old man said formally. And obviously, the 'message' the the muscles sent was accepted by the president.

“Needs and activities of the resort? Like what?”

The president stood up and placed his two hands inside the side pockets of his trouser with a staid look on his face.

“Recruit people that can serve the guests of our resort. I’m planning to place entertainment bars, restaurants and other shops at the side of the beach that can offer a good service for our costumers this summer” the old man explained.

“Why do I have to do it? It doesn't involve muscles too.” Sun asked sounding a bit complaining.

The president set a sharp gaze at him that looks a bit scary for him. And Sun could already tell how his father is so serious about business matters like this.

“Ju Jin is busy with the company in Seoul. But, you like this kind of job, right?” Mr. Yoon asked in a questioning tone.

Sun smirked at him, “Leave it to me then…” he said confidently, "I won't let you down. I'll definitely show you that I'm more responsible and hard working than Ju Jin." he added with a deep voice. He thinks that this job is a great opportunity to 'show-off' and battle with his rival, his brother.

The conversation between them ended with a hand shake. Sun may not like office works but he enjoys working outside. Since his job is to manage the beach, he is confident on doing the job. He is feeling happy because his father trusts him even though he’s been hanging around streets in Seoul lately and this is for him to be able to prove himself that he is more useful than his 'perfect' brother. And the father is glad that his son accepted the job that he offered, which is a bit shocking for him.

After the meeting with his father, he went out of his office and called Assistant Cheoul and ordered him to call his father’s business partners, crews, tourist guides and other service personals of their building. He called for an immediate meeting. He is confident that he'll do this job properly and with no problem.
