"You shouldn't be here, there's members outside." I pretend to type on the cash register, he still hasn't asked how i was, or how i'm doing.

"Why are you mad?" He asks, hands in his pockets.

"Because, if seems like all you care about is Taeyong. A freaking bomb went off right next to me and you didn't have the decency to ask if i was okay, your mind went straight to Taeyong." I try not to get emotional, i know it seems stupid but it means a lot whether he actually cares about me and my well being or just pinning Taeyong.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

"I wasn't fine two weeks ago, Taeyongs helped me get through it though." I walk out from behind the register, deciding to reorganise some shelves.

"I should've known this would happen-"

"Don't come in here and say shit like that. He's the one that's been decent enough to protect me from all the shit that's happening, reassuring me i'll be okay, spending his time to make sure i'm okay, not you. All you do is use me." I speak from my heart.

"Watch your tone when you speak with me Seoyeon, i am your father." He raises his voice.

"Can you act like it then." I raise mine back, "And not just act like my boss who doesn't give a shit about my well-being-"

"Shut your mouth." He grabs my jaw, aggressively.

My eyes start tearing up, looking into his eyes, "You have feelings for him."

"I don't have feelings for no one." I move my head away, looking toward the door at Ten approaching with Jeno. "Now you need to go before they corner you about laying your hands on me."

"Your my daughter. I can do whatever i want to you." He spits, turning and barging through the men, walking out of the store.

I turn around so the boys don't see me, "Seoyeon are you okay?" Ten asks.

"I'm fine." I clear my throat, walking into the back where Chan was just as confused as everyone else.

"Seoyeon." He calls out. "Has your dad been aggressive like that before?" He asks.

"Not since mom died." I wipe my eyes quickly, "It's all good though, family things." I rub my lips together.

"Take the rest of the day off-"

"No... no. I need something to keep me occupied and this will do it." I smile. He was hesitant, but allowed me to continue working.

I walk back out, Ten and Jeno still standing there, "Could you guys not tell Taeyong what you just seen." I ask, probably asking too much.

"You want me to not tell your boyfriend some random old man just grabbed your jaw?" Jeno raises an eyebrow, confused on why i was protecting the said old man.

"He was drunk, i don't need anybody getting in trouble." I lie.

"I'm not making any promises." Ten says, "He even made you cry-"

"Ten." I cut him off, i can't deal with that right now. "Please, just this once."

Ten looks at Jeno and Jeno looks at Ten, "Fine." They say in sync.

"Thank you." I pull a new pair of gloves over my hand as a family walk in. "I'll see you guys later."

They walk out and i served the rest of my shift as normal, it was quite a slow day today so i spent a lot of the day reorganising there shelves.

Then i got home, "Good afternoon, you work yourself too hard." Minhee hugs me, i wasn't really in the mood for all the chit-chat and physical contact.
