Goodbye

Ryu's POV

I was sitting on a chair and watched as people were using the visiting booth. On the other side prisoners were either being escorted or talking to their visitors.

"Ryu Kim, you're up." said an officer

I got up and took a seat in front of a window. I waited for about 2 minutes until I saw him, my father. My father was now old, he had a beard and a mustache and he has more wrinkles. When he made eye contact with me his mouth dropped and his eyes widened. I picked up the phone and he did the same.

"You're..." whispered my dad

"Yea, I'm him." I replied

"You haven't aged at all." he whispered

"That's cause I met you 7 hours ago." I replied

My dad looked confused but he sighed and looked up at me.

"This is my first time having a visitor." said my dad

"I see." I simply replied

My dad looked at me.

"Your name, it's Ryu right?" he asked

"Yea." I replied

"Ryu, I'm so sorry for the embarrassment I brought upon you." he said

"Don't apologize." I said

My dad looked up at me with confused eyes.

"You did what you did." I sighed, "I didn't come here because I wanted your apology."

I pulled out a piece of paper and slammed it against the window.

"I'm here because I'm getting you out." I said

His eyes widened and he began to tear up.

"W-why?" he asked

"I'm not doing this because I'm forgiving you. I'm doing this because maybe it's the last thing my mom wanted." I said, "She wasn't able to visit you because she was ashamed so I guess apologizing to her is what she wants."

I put the piece of paper away.

"I hate both of you, to the bottom of my heart I do. I wish you could rot here and I wish the worst for my mom. But I can't come to that conclusion because I'm no different." I said, "I'm taking you home next week. I want you to think of an apology when you see her."

I put the phone away and got up and with one last look at my dad I turned and left. I left the jailhouse and made my way back to the alleyway and teleported myself to California. I've never been to California and it was hot here. I used my Matrix to scan the area and find the person I was looking for but then I raised an eyebrow.

'She's here, but why is there such a huge crowd around her?'

I looked at the crowd and it was standing in front of this theater. I raised an eyebrow and I looked around at the posters and my eyes widened. There were multiple posters of a girl kpop group and one of them was Hannah, my old friend.

I looked at the crowd and I saw a bunch of security guards push through the fans and I saw her, Hannah Park. Hannah was smiling with her kpop members while waving but then she looked at me. I quickly turned around and left not wanting to be a part of it.

'Did she see me? If she did, does she recognize me?'

I began walking down the street but then I felt someone run up to me from behind. I turned around and it was a security guard.

"Hey Ha-"

I elbowed the arm he was holding my shoulder and with that same arm I hit his rib. He gasped in pain and fell backwards, clutching his ribs. That's when the reporters and everyone began to aim their cameras towards me so I used my Matrix and shut off all of their technology. All of them seemed confused so I took that opportunity to run away.
