Kim Jiwon was just stepping out of the shower with her hair dripping wet. She picked up the phone realising she was late for the family gathering, she called her sister soojin , telling her she would be late. She quickly got dressed and called her chauffeur to bring over the car.

Once he arrived he respectfully greeted her "good morning miss Jiwon" she replied "good morning Minjae". She got into the car, She arrived at the gathering. Surprised to see her sister at the doorstep of the mansion waving at her, "Ronnie I have been waiting for you. You look good by the way!" said soojin with a smile as wide and bright as the sun. Jiwon gave her sister a big hug saying, "it's nice to see that smile again after so many years".

Jiwon stepped into the mansion with her sister. She saw her parents, she bowed to her parents greeting them"good morning a-beo-nim and eomeonim". They both stood up and said"we have been awaiting you ". Jiwon's mother, Kim Hye-sook walked up to her , hugged her and asked how she was doing. She said "I haven't seen you in forever, you are so tall now and you've lost weight, ahh so much has changed but I know you are still my beautiful, intelligent and independent daughter aren't you?", hearing this, Jiwon giggled "just like old times" she said. Suddenly silence filled the room as she looked at her father, he towards her and smiled "you know I have always been strict but I can see that I have raised a wonderful daughter, come here." he said, Jiwon gave him a tight hug.

Soon the whole family had arrived. Jiwon greeted many of the elders at the gathering. After a long time of talking and discussion, Jiwon's father stepped to the higher floors clanking the glass cup and a silver knife, the room got silent as everyone's attention was on him. He began to make a speech concerning the family business which he had run many years ago but handed off to Jiwon as she was the first daughter. He said "for many years I have run this business but as we all know many years ago i handed it over to Jiwon, and I trust she won't let us down" Jiwon felt al eyes on her "Jiwon!" he said in a stern voice. Jiwon walked to her father and he said I am entrusting you with this don't let me down" then he gave her a a will to another business which his grandparents and many generations down had cherished and run up to that day. He said "take this" and again in an even sterner voice he said "do not let us down" everyone one clapped in happiness for Jiwon and so did her father. Jiwon felt like a whole world had been entrusted to her, as she looked at everyone she knew what she had to do.
