Hey there. [cut]

22.

Mingyu and Dino, were peacefully sleeping inside the van. I in the other hand was leaning my head against the window, awed by the night view.

My aunt drove silent, I could tell she was sad to leave us with my father.
I didn't dare to say a word, the silence was too soothing.

A bright light, crashed my vision. 'ow! What is tha...t?' I gaped my mouth on what I saw, a mansion with tall gates were appearing right infront.

"Huh? Who turned on the- waah!" before Dino could finish his sentence, he was shook to see what was infront of us.

"We're here" Mingyu's face frowned, he adjusted himself from his seat.

The gates automatically opened, I was surprised. My reaction was like a five year old boy who's amazed by a blending machine.

'this is my dad's home?!' I thought to myself and sat back.

My aunt parked the van under the house. 'and it even has an underground parking lot?!'

"You guy's go ahead, I'll call you once I get home" My aunt stopped the car's engine.

"You aren't going out?" I questioned her while unbuckling my seat belt.

"Both of our problems in the past remained unsettled, so you guy's go ahead" She glanced at us on the mirror.

We nodded and got off the car. A man in his 50's came to us, he was wearing somekind of suit.

"Hello I'm Mr. Weol, I'll be your guide tonight" He bowed. We three bowed back. Mingyu took out all the luggage and shut the door.

"Please let me" Mr. Weol insisted.

"O-Oh it's fine-" I was cutted off, by a sudden appearance of maids and butlers gathering, they bowed and got our luggages.

I glanced at Mingyu and Dino, we all had that same priceless reaction. Not knowing what to say. It's our first time entering a mansion.

Mr. Weol gestured himself to follow. He entered hiself inside the elevator.
We followed, I tugged my hands on Dino's shirt, he didn't seem to notice.

Once the doors opened, Mr. Weol led us out, my eyes wandered the white hall, there were also beautiful painting stuck onto the walls. The halls kept going further till we stopped to a two white doors.

"The three of you may head in first, I'll prepare your rooms, while the maids prepare supper" He excused hiself and disappeared into the hallways.

"Where to now?" Dino asked. I removed my hands off from his shirt and raised my arms above my head.

"Who cares, let's just explore!" I exclaimed and skipped my feet. The three of us, went our seperate ways. I went up to the bug stair case. Dino went out to the garden, while Mingyu, went somewhere.

'this is huge, pfft- that's what she said' I snorted at my lame joke and bumped onto someone.

"Ah!" A male hissed.

"Oh! I'm very sorry I didn't know where I was going!" Quickly apologizing and bowing I glanced at the male's face.

He had a tall figure, buff arms and plumped lips, he also had a strong deep voice.

"Watch where you're going!" He yelled and pulled me out from my day dream.

"I-I'm sorry" I bit my lip and folded my hands together.

"Wait a minute, what's a poor tiny girl like you, wandering in here?". 'did he just call me tiny?! Fyi old man I'm just about the average height!" Cursing in my mind, the man eyed me and pulled my hand.

I had a puzzled face, he dragged me into a room, it seemed like an office or study.

"Father!" The man shouted at the male who's chair was facing back at us.

'father? What's a random Dad living at my dad's mansion?' I thought to myself as the male turned his chair to us. My eyes widened, my jaw dropped.

This male so called Father  was my dad. Then who is this man calling my dad, Father? Could he be...no that's not possible. 11 years and he actually had the courage to marry someone else and forgot about his true love.

"Welcome (y/n)" his greeting shivered my spine. My hands formed into rocks, the anger and disappointment boiled my blood. How could he?! How can he act so casual after loosing his wife and abandoning his own child to his sister!

"Oh? It's her" The man released his grip from my hand and had a persistent look.

"(y/n)ah, this is your step-brother Kim Yeonghwa" He stated.

I was disgusted to hear his statement. I kept my head down, angered to see my father, being well on his own, not giving a damn shit about his real family.

"H-how could you?" My voice shifted.

"How could you leave me?! After mom's death, you abandoned me, and instead you took care of your second family?! How more selfish could you be?!" My eyes watered. I finally let my anger out, I finally shouted at him. This Yeonghwa guy, was shook to hear my lash.

Dad stood up and frozed infront of me.

"Well, it's not like you even give a damn anyways, right?" a cynical smile plastered in my face. He glared with his cold eyes and slapped me.

"Don't you dare, shout at me" He growled,  before making me a fool right infront of him and his so called son, he sighed and got back at his seat.

My step-brother pulled me away from the room and pinned me on the wall.

"Hey are you okay?" He whispered. My head was glued to the ground. Soon I started to sob until I cried harder. Yeonghwa didn't know what to say, he just stood there staring at my pity figure.

"You!" I heard Mingyu's raised voice. He then pulled me into a tight hug.

"Don't dare you lay a finger on her" He hissed and walked away, dragging me along.

{....}

After Mingyu calmed me down, Mr. Weol came, apologized on the behalf of my father, and gave us a small tour. He told us that half of the house will be used by us while the other is used by my father and his step-son.

'wow he even divided the house' I scoffed. 'And that's how selfish he is huh? Wow'

Mr. Weol led me to my room, I thanked his court. He nodded and led the boys to their rooms.

Sighing as I dropped to the covers, I didn't care how the room seemed like, yes it was huge, huge than Seungcheol's home. A sudden ring call came notified my phone. I picked it up and didn't see who the caller may be.

"hm? Who's calling?"

"it's me Jeonghan"
