Kang Y/N's POV

I stopped by at a bench to sit down and rest for a bit.

Dang it! I forgot my bag, my phone, and my wallet. I don't even know where am I anymore.

A car suddenly stopped in front of me.

"Y/N! FINALLY I FOUND YOU!"

It's Jungwon.

I stood up to run again but before I could even do that, he hugged me from behind.

"Let me go," I said without emotions.

"No. Please Y/N let's talk," he said still not letting me go.

It hurts but no.

"I don't want to," I said and let go of his hug.

He looked so shocked and stood still.

"Jungwon, or should I say, Johnny, whatever bond that we have or feelings for each other, its over. You just opened up a healed scar and made it bigger the moment you chose to kept everything as a secret from me," I said without looking at him and started to walk away.

"It was never my decision to keep everything a secret from you."

I stopped walking.

"Your dad ordered me to not tell you and my real mom everything. He said that if I ever tell you the truth, he will send you abroad. Y/N, its better for me if you'll treat me coldly or if you treat me as if you don't know me at least I'll still see you. I'll go insane if I won't see you ever again because Y/N, I love you,"

There he goes again making my heart beat fast but this time, it's not about what I felt before. Right now, it's pain. Pure pain.

"Y/N, I know I became selfish for not telling you the truth, but what can I do? I can't lose you,"

I looked at him and he's kneeling on the ground.

"I'd do anything just to keep you near me,"

We're still more than 10 feet apart but I can clearly see his tears.

I want to hug him. I want to run to his arms. I want to wipe off his tears.

But something is pulling me to not do those.

Is it disappointment or anger?

"Y/N, there's something I didn't keep as a secret, it's my true feelings for you. Y/N, it's true that I love you,"

That's it. I don't want to hear more.

I wiped off my tears and started to walk away from him again.

Maybe I just need some time and space to think.

My dad didn't want me to know about the truth. But why? I don't understand why does he have to do this to me? Hiding the truth will only make it worse. He hid the truth because of what? To keep me away from my real mom? Was it because he is also afraid that I might leave him and go with my real mom?

Before I could take another step, someone grabbed my wrist. I looked up and saw Jungwon still crying.

"Y/N, if you really don't want to talk to me or see me, just please, please let me just give you a ride home so that I'll know you're safe," he said.

When I nodded, we went back to where his car was parked. When I got inside his car, he immediately drove.

We were both quiet but I can still see him wipe his tears from time to time.

When we arrived in front of our house, I quickly went inside our house.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw my stepmom and dad at the living room. They all stood up when they saw me.

"Y/N," my dad called me.

"Dad I want to go abroad, I don't care where, I just don't want to be here anymore," I said and cried again.

My stepmom immediately hugged me and wiped off my tears.

"If that's what you want then I won't stop you," he said.

My stepmom accompanied me to go to my room.

I took a shower and put on my pajamas.

When I was finished, I heard a knock at my door.

"Y/N, are you hungry? Do you want to eat dinner?" my stepmom asked.

"No, it's fine. I'm not hungry," I answered.

She went inside my room and sat on beside me on my bed.

"Do you want someone to talk to? I can listen," she said.

"If you were in my shoes, what will you choose? Forgive, forget, or just leave?" I asked.

"Of course I'll choose to forgive. I already forgave my ex husband for cheating on me and taking my son away from me because I met you and your dad. You know, I realized that he's not really the one for me when he left me. Yes, I was depressed because he took my son, but seeing Johnny healthy again earlier, seeing him smile at you, I can say that it was a good decision that my ex husband left me,"

She smiled bitterly.

"I saw both of your eyes sparkled. I saw how beautiful your smiles. It's the same smile and sparkle when I fell in love with your dad. I know that I don't have the right to tell you what to do or who to choose. But always remember, choose what or who your heart tells you. Because I can assure you that you'll be happy," she said and hugged me.

"Are you mad because dad hid the truth to us?" I asked again that made her look into my eyes.

"No,"

I looked at her with my confused look.

"No because I trust him. I love your dad and I trust him. No matter what reason he has for keeping everything, I showed him that I love him and will not leave him like what your mom did,"

I cried once again.

My stepmom Marie is a true angel. Now I realized that I was lucky my real mom left me because I met my stepmom.

I smiled at her and hugged her again.

"I love you Mom," I told her.

"I love you too," her voice cracked. Maybe because it's my first time calling her Mom.
