Chapter 97: eting an Idol’s Parents
After realizing she was in love with Alex and confessing to him. Mimi’s performance at work suddenly shifted from a rut to an all-ti high. She even began writing so of her own songs about her feelings towards Alex during her free ti. Alex, of course, exchanged numbers with the girl, and promised to take her on a proper date when she was free.
Thus, after driving the girl ho and returning to his penthouse, he was actually in a pretty good mood. So much so that he was giving off an entirely different atmosphere. It was almost as if his icy heart had begun to lt. This was sothing that his sisters imdiately noticed as they asked Alex why he was smiling like an idiot.
“Well, well, well, look who’s in a good mood? What happened, little brother? Did you win the lottery?”
Alex chuckled when he heard Kristina say this before responding to her question in a way she did not expect.
“I guess you could say that. I managed to get a young idol to fall in love with …. So I guess you could say the odds of that happening are similar to winning the lottery!”
Both Kristina and Madison dropped their jaws. By now, they had seen Alex with multiple won and it was beginning to drive them crazy with envy. Especially since he could not even rember the promise he had made to the two of them when they were younger.
But to hear that Alex had sohow managed to get a popstar to fall in love with him, they could not believe their ears. Even if Kristina and Madison did not follow Kpop, they still knew that the girls in the industry should be well above their brother in terms of status. Thus, with a mix of jealousy and curiosity, they began to interrogate the man.
“What? Who? How? Just what did you do to get a celebrity to fall in love with you?”
This, of course, caused Alex to smirk and shake his head, before informing the girls that he would not be telling them anymore information about his love life.
“That’s for to know, and you to find out…”
After saying this, Alex returned to his room, where he showered, before heading to bed early for the night.

Alex continued to et up with Mimi every day that week. Where the two of them would eat lunch together and talk about themselves. Alex shockingly found himself enjoying the ti he spent with the pure-hearted girl. And decided that he wanted to officially take her out on a date that weekend.
But when he proposed the idea, Mimi blushed in embarrassnt, and told her the only way her parents would let her out of her sight was if Alex received their approval to date her. And despite Alex’s attempt to coax the girl into lying to her parents, she was adamant about telling them the truth. Thus, he could only sigh and acknowledge that he needed to sohow convince her parents to let him take the girl out for a day.
Alex spent the majority of the week trying to figure out how he would remotely be able to convince such strict and overprotective parents to let him take their daughter out. Though Mimi was an adult, she was still childish in many ways. And thus, she would never flaunt her status as an adult to do sothing her parents disapproved of.
In all honesty, Alex hoped that they were not the kind of people who were capable of investigating his background, or had already done so. Because he was, after all, Mimi’s personal bodyguard, and had saved her on multiple occasions, and yet her parents never bothered to personally visit him and thank him for doing so. Almost as if a man of his caliber was entirely beneath their notice.
Thus, Alex decided to go out all with his appearance, in order to give off the impression that he was a respectable man, worthy of their daughter, and not so pompous douche like he actually was. By now, they were familiar with the fact that Alex drove a nice car, as he usually drove the Lamborghini to and from work. Thus, Alex decided to go the extra mile and show off the Senna, which was worth almost three tis the amount of his Lamborghini.
When Alex showed up at the gates of the mansion, he did not even need to ask for permission to enter, instead he was waved through the security automatically. Which gave him a rather grim feeling. If they were already aware that he was coming over, despite not calling in advance, then that ant that Mimi had already spoken to her parents about his visit.
And sure enough, the mont Alex pulled up into the driveway, he was escorted into the house by several ard bodyguards where he found Mimi’s father and mother waiting for him. While the girl’s mother had a happy smile on her face, the old man next to her was far from pleased, as he glared at Alex with a murderous glint in his eyes.
Mimi was not present for this eting, which confird Alex’s suspicions. Thus, he did not stand on ceremony, and instead spoke to the two wealthy elites with a straight to the point deanor.
“I assu Mimi has already explained why I am here… The fact that you didn’t refuse entry on the spot ans you at the very least have a ssage that you want to hear, so get on with it…”
An arrogant smirk appeared on Mimi’s father’s face as the man scoffed in disapproval. He then tossed a manila folder onto the table that sat between him and Alex, which when he opened it revealed all the dirty details about Alex’s activities since he had first transmigrated into this world.
From the multiple won he was involved with, to his several run-ins with the law, to even the myriad of assaults he had perford, so of which were on minors. The man then spoke to Alex in a conceited tone, as if he was entirely looking down on the young man for even existing.
“I had you investigated the mont you saved my daughter’s life from that stalker… The first ti, that is. It turns out you have quite the past for a man working in private security. I an, I must admit, even I was surprised at the trouble you have gotten yourself into over these past few months since moving to our country.
And then there’s the inexplicable acquiring of luxury property, and the anonymous transfer of large amounts of cash to your bank accounts. Even with the resources at my disposal, I haven’t been able to find out the origin of your fortune, but I know the exact amount you have. So tell , Alex, are you involved with organized cri? Or perhaps sothing far more sinister like international terrorism?”
Alex scoffed when he heard these words, and looked at the ard guards around him, before finally guessing the identity of Mimi’s father, or at the very least, his background.
“You’re a politician, right? Or perhaps you’re a high-ranking figure in the intelligence community? I an, no offense, but ard security, and n with SMGs no less, perhaps in Arica I’d assu you were a gangster, but with the strict gun control in this country even your police don’t even have guns. So you must be soone pretty important to have this kind of security running around your private property. Which is odd, considering the last ti I was here you were asking for pointers… What was that, so kind of test?”
Mimi’s father was not amused with Alex’s assessnt and crossed his arms while leaning back on his sofa before explaining his position in a hostile tone.
“I’ll admit that you are smarter than I initially gave your credit for. You are far more than so petty thug. You not only guessed a fairly accurate assessnt of my background based on limited information, but you also imdiately understood that during our first encounter, I was testing your knowledge and skills.
Allow to introduce myself. I’m the director of National Security Cheong Jae-In. Now that we have gotten the formalities out of the way, allow to explain what my opinion of you is. Judging by the actions you have taken since first entering our country, my initial estimate of you was that you are a petty thug and criminal. One who does what he wants, when he wants, without any regard for the law, or his victims.
The only reason you haven’t been deported from this nation already is due to the blatant corruption that I now know exists in our governnt. However, you have proven during this encounter to be far more cunning than I initially gave you credit for, which along with the fact that you are regularly receiving paynts worth of millions of dollars from anonymous sources, leads to believe you are involved with sothing far more sinister.
After all, you skills in hand to hand combat are quite proficient despite your age, and there is also the fact that you dispatched the North Korean SOF at the country club with relative ease, all the while rescuing your employer from a hostage situation without leaving any evidence of your presence. This shows that you have received so degree of combat training. Which is completely abnormal for a man your age.
So let ask you this: Was getting close to my daughter part of your plan all along? Are you trying to use Mi-Young to get to ? Answer , you son of a bitch!”
Alex did not behave the way the man thought he would. Instead, he broke out into a fit of laughter. Almost as if the man’s suggestion was simply the funniest thing he had ever heard in his life. After taking several monts to calm himself down, Alex responded to the man’s questions with a lighthearted tone in his voice.
“Oh, man? You really think I’m a terrorist, don’t you? Jesus fucking Christ, that’s the funniest thing I’ve heard in like a month! No, I’m not a terrorist… Or a gangster, for that matter. Though after your explanation I can see why you would Assu I was.
For the record, my proficiency in hand to hand combat stems from the fact that I have been training in mixed martial arts since I was five. As for my ability to handle firearms, in case you sohow have failed to notice I’m an Arican citizen.
Guns are a part of our fucking culture! I was raised with the damn things! In addition to that, my uncle served in Fallujah. The man had no kids of his own and thought of as if I was his own son. Because of this, he taught how to properly use a weapon, and how to engage targets. Especially in CQC.
Now, as for the money that I have been receiving, frankly, that’s none of your business, but I assure you there is nothing sinister going on with that. I don’t know if you’re paranoid, or just looking for an excuse to deport because your daughter is in love with . But I assure you my intentions with Mimi are nothing but honorable. She is truly one in a billion, and I would sooner die than hurt her.
Yeah, I know, I have many other won by my side, and on occasion I will have a one-night stand with a random slut. But as a powerful man, can you honestly look in the eye and tell you that you don’t have at least one side piece that you regularly hook up with?”
Jae-In was not the least bit pleased with Alex’s words, especially because his wife imdiately looked over and glared at him, confirming to Alex that his man was just like himself. Even if he did not want to admit it. Of course, Jae-In was just about to tell Alex to go fuck himself when Mimi burst into the room.
She had been listening to the entire conversation, and though there were so things she didn’t understand, she knew her father was trying to paint Alex as a bad guy. And thus she imdiately ran to his defense.
“Mommy, daddy! Stop being an to Alex! He’s not a bad guy like you say he is! I love Alex, and I want to be with him! Why can’t you accept that!?!”
Mimi’s mother and father were stunned by their daughter’s sudden confession. Her father imdiately beca enraged that a scoundrel like Alex had truly managed to make his beloved daughter fall for him. He struggled to maintain the volu of his voice as he scolded the girl for her naivety.
“Mi-Young! This man is a scoundrel, and a criminal! He is manipulating you! Can’t you see that? I will never allow the two of you to be together!”
However, Mimi shot back at her father, for perhaps the first ti in her life ever defying his orders, as she continued to defend Alex.
“Daddy is such a anie! Alex can’t be a bad guy! He risked his life to save mine on two separate occasions! He also went out of his way to save Twinkles from those an girls when nobody asked him to, and he even stopped them from bullying ! If he was such a bad guy, why would he do all of these things for ?”
Mimi’s father felt like his heart had been shot by an arrow. His daughter had never called him a anie before, which was pretty much the worst insult she had in her childish vocabulary. The man honestly had no idea why a scumbag like Alex would go to such lengths just to sleep with his daughter. But he wanted to kill him with his bare hands at that mont.
Jae-In was just about to deny his daughter’s request, despite hearing about the kindness Alex had showed Mimi, when his wife grabbed hold of his forearm and shook her head. For the first ti since Alex had arrived at Mimi’s ho, her mother decided to speak her thoughts on the matter.
“Dear… Although I don’t approve of Alex’s lifestyle, after hearing what our daughter has said about him, I think he genuinely cares about Mi-Young, and isn’t just using her. Besides, she is now an adult, and we can’t keep sheltering her from the world forever. At the very least, we should allow them to start dating, though, I do believe we should monitor the situation to make sure he doesn’t try anything….”
Upon seeing that both his wife and daughter had suddenly taken Alex’s side, the middle-aged man could only grit his teeth in anger before agreeing to allow Alex to date his beloved daughter.
“Fine! You little bastard! If you even think about touching my daughter inappropriately before you marry her, I will personally make sure you are buried alive in the freaking ocean!”
Mimi was excited to hear that her father had finally allowed her to date Alex, while the man himself was truly shocked that a father like him would allow any man to ever date his daughter. He truly had to thank Mimi and her mother for making this happen. And thus, Alex responded to the man’s threat with a haughty tone in his voice.
“I’d like to see you try….”
This, of course, angered the man to no end, but before he could get a word in, Mimi ran up and hugged both him and his wife before thanking them both for allowing her to date Alex.
“Thank you, daddy! Thank you mommy! You’re the best! I’m sorry for calling you a anie….”
Imdiately after being hugged by his daughter, the man went from having a murderous expression to that of a giant teddy bear, as spoke to his daughter in a warm and gentle tone.
“Anything for you, my little angel!”
This sudden change in character caused Alex to chuckle, which only elicited another murderous glare from the man. Yet Alex was not the least bit intimidated. And instead sat there thinking about the date he had spent all week planning for him and Mimi.
