UNSEEN (Male Version)

Chapter 9

-Flashback-

As I decided to not come for Chaeyoon after the news of the cancellation, I got a call from someone who will be messed up the most, my father. Not even a second I picked the call, I could tell how much the news ruined him. Everything that involved the company he built from zero always got him in a nerve.

"I get it! Will be home sooner..." I sighed.

-----

"What do you want to do after this?" He welcomed me with his raised tone. Without a greet or anything, he raged at me.

He is my father yet, he is full of secrets. Ever since I became the director, I still knew nothing. They seemed to hide something for me about Mount's past. And the cancellation got me puzzled. I didn't know what should I do after hearing the news because I still can't see the connection. Honestly, it was hard enough to decide this case. It was too early to decide my next step. I did found the file that was lost from Go Seokjin Uncle days ago. But, it was just the file full with the transaction between Wooden with a resident representative who lived near the place that Wooden go for woods. This information was kind of grey if I tried to connect with what was happened between Mount and Ridge. The only same thing that Mount and Ridge have was Wooden's source. And it was kind of shock when I found what was happened five years ago with Taemu help. There was an incident where there was a demonstration to sue Wooden for taking the woods in that area which started damaging the environment there. And the most interesting clue was, 'Why did Chaeyoon take the file about Wooden from Mount? I still can't see the connection between the three groups.' It was all pointed to Wooden, not Ridge also Mount.

"YOU GOT FIRED! I don't want my son to bring Mount down sooner!" He shouted at me while standing with the stick that helped him to stand up while I can see how much he was staggering with his reddened face. I rarely see his anger but, it might his first time exploding caused by the company. I rubbed my hands from the place I was sitting in the living room and looked down to my stomping heel. My gaze was empty looking at the table which separated my father and me.

"And who will take the lead of Mount? Go Seokjin?" I stated in a low voice but loud enough to be heard by him while stopping my stomping heel.

The name that was making me suspicious even at the first time he was brought to the police. I was trusting him before but as time went by, I can see how much he was trying to handle anything in Mount even though there was me as a director.

"What??" He narrowed his eyes in disbelief. "Are you trying to fight me now?" Now, he pointed out his stick on me. "You are trying to bring us down and now..."

"I will take the lead after I clean the mess between Mount, Ridge, and Wooden." I looked up into his eyes and he was taken aback by my words. "Dad, Let me fix it on my way, please!" I begged. He was frozen for a while before I see his keen gaze after taking a deep breath.

"Tsk ... Is it caused by Chaeyoon??"

"STOP IT, DAD!" I got up from I was sitting. "I will start our company without trash and fuss inside." Without looking back, I left him alone in silence.

*****((()))*****

Our bond was getting stronger after her confession. She started being clingy to me more without anything that burdened her. It was such a good breeze to our latest intense companies problems. She was also eager to ask me to know the baby's gender together, as I promised before. We went to the obstetrician and waited in the waiting room like a husband and wife with other couples.

'Ah, right! We are still engaged.'

I gazed at her who was smiling while chatting with another pregnant woman asking about her pregnancy. But, the view of her answering 'yes' with doubt when the woman praised me as a husband, scrunched my heart. Even though she hides it, I could see her sadness while trying to keep up with the conversation.
