The Demon

Father soon returned with two people following him, a man and a woman dressed in white. He was rejecting their offer to support him.

Still stubborn as ever.

Felix then went up and whispered, "Father, Jisung is back."

When Father lifted his head, I saw a pair of muddy old eyes. People's eyes never lie, and it was here that I finally believed that Father had somehow aged without me realizing it.

Importantly, during this period, I was not beside him.

Feeling guilty, I called out, "Father."

When he saw me, a moment of excitement flashed across his eyes before it calmed down, and his appearance returned to that old man in my memory.

"I have already severed our ties, and you still have the face to return? Get out of my house!" he yelled angrily at me.

As his body could not bear such agitation, the nurses immediately rushed forward to support him. "Mr Han, please calm down!"

Despite that, he pushed aside the nurses and flung his cane towards me, hitting me accurately on the forehead.

"Such an unfilial son, scram!"

I clutched my forehead, stepping back as I watched Felix rush forward and supported Father. Surrounded by a group of medical staff, he was brought back to his bedroom, and there was nothing I could do.

For a long time, I sat in the living room downstairs. A young maid also kept sneaking glances at me.

On my forehead, there was also a huge swelling that caused me to consider taking out my aspirin to relieve the pain.

It was then that Felix finally came down from upstairs. He reached out his hand as if he wanted to touch my forehead, but ended up retracting it, thinking I wouldn't notice.

He didn't even dare to show his concern towards me publicly. Was he afraid that I would get entangled with him over such a small show of concern?

"Father didn't mean to do that. It's just that he's been in a bad mood lately," he said.

"I know." How could I not know my father was a person with a bad temper and wore a stony face all day long.

When I was a child, I always thought that he didn't like me. So, I secretly asked my mother if I was picked up from the streets, as he had never given me a gentle smile.

Mother didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She just held me in her arms and lightly said, "How could Father not like Sungie? It's just that Father is too shy, so he hides his love for you secretly in his heart, not saying it out loud. So, even if there was one day that Father makes Jisung sad, Jisung must not blame him, because he really loves you."

In this world, only my mom understands my father.

I stood up and said, "I'll go back today and find time to come back in the future."

"I'll see you off," Felix said.

I thought about it for a while, but I didn't refuse. This may be the last good intention I would be able to accept from him.

As I didn't want him to know where I lived, I told him to drop me off at a place near Seungmin's apartment.

During the winter, nighttime arrived very quickly. In a blink of an eye, the outside shifted to endless darkness.

Lights from the street lamps flickered like brilliant stars, and as we passed the roadside billboard, I saw the Ferris wheel again.

I suddenly remembered that when I was young, my mother once took me and Felix to the amusement park.
