A Sudden Dad✔

(ENG) Chapter 14

"I'm in love with you, Jo Eun Seol."

The look in Will's eyes made the cocoon inside Seol's stomach start to move and crack. The butterfly wings within it began to emerge from within the crack. Those eyes were not the typical seductive gaze. There is sincerity and honesty in it.

But the sound of Danmuji's crying stopped the butterflies in Seol's stomach, bringing her back to reality.

"Wow, you are really good at acting. You deserve a Daesang, even an Oscar. I almost believe you."

"I'm not acting, Seol. I mean it. How do you get you to believe me?"

Seol just shrugged her shoulders and walked over to Danmuji. Will still wants to continue this conversation, but Eun Seob comes.

“She wasn't there,” said Eun Seob. "There's an apartment in her brother's name, but it's empty. Maybe she lived there for a while, but now she's gone. Maybe she knows we have information about her. But forget about Cindy Lee for a while..."

Eun Seob opened Will's room, took his travel bag and started to unpack Will's wardrobe.

"What are you doing?"

"We have to go to Japan. You got a job to perform at the summer festival."

"When do we leave?"

"The day after tomorrow."

"Then why are you in such a hurry to pack my things now, as if we're leaving tonight?"

"Well, early preparation is good, so we don't rush the D-day."

Will folded his arms across his chest while watching Eun Seob who looked so excited to put Will's clothes in while whistling cheerfully.

"You seem more excited than me getting the job."

"Of course, we've been unemployed for a long time."

"Even if you're unemployed, you're still being paid."

"Anyway, I'm happy."

Will could only shake his head at his manager's strange behavior. He returned to Seol, returning the resignation letter from her.

"You heard it yourself, I'm going to work in Japan, of course I can't take the boy and raise him there myself, can I? Save this, at least until I get back."

Seol received the letter back.

"For what I said earlier, you don't have to think about it. Honestly, I'm still not too sure myself, is what I feel for you really love? But I am indeed attracted to you. I will find the answer myself."

Eun Seob can't wait to take off from Korea to Japan. He'd woken Will up early in the morning to get ready, even though their plane wasn't leaving until noon.

"Will, I'll be waiting downstairs. Hurry up and finish your breakfast!" Eun Seob said as he dragged their suitcases out, even though Will had just shoved a spoonful of cereal into his mouth. He lost his appetite.

Not finishing his breakfast, Will knocked on Seol's door.

"Is he sleeping?" Will asked after Seol opened the door.

"He just finished taking a bath."

Seol shifted for Will to enter. The baby wiggled his arms and legs when he saw his father coming.

"Daddy is going to work for a while," Will said, kissing the baby's forehead.

When he was about to leave, it was like something was stuck in his shirt. Danmuji's tiny hand gripped the buttons of his shirt tightly.
