daddy's girl

confrontation

"I ....Thank you for supporting me" Lee gi kwang said while he was trying to avoid eye contact with her.

The conversation was over. That was pretty clear.

It felt like she was getting stabbed in her stomach.

With a pale face hwa young went away having the poster in her hands.

Hwa young went sitting on the first bench she saw.

She was angry. 'how can he react like that. "

She tried to call eun hi again but still she couldn't reach her.

"ugh, what is it with this girl today."

She glared at lee gi Kwang who was going off stage for a little break.

He saw her glaring and with a silly smile he pointed at the poster.

Hwa young her eyes were following his finger until she saw he had written his number on the poster.

"call me tonight so we can discuss this."

Hwa Young looked up but lee gi Kwang was already gone.

She nodded her head. So, he did recognize her end he does want to speak about the child.

She smiled and went home.

That night hwa young was alone in her room.

She was still thinking about what she could possibly say.

She pressed his number.

"hmm, what if he is still working" she said to herself.

Complete lost in her mind, she didn't realize she already pressed the call button.

"hello" a familiar male voice answered her call.

Hwa young panicked." oh no, what to do, what to do" she whispered.

"hello" the voice repeated.

Hwa young cleared her throat.

"hi, it's me, hwa young. The girl from this afternoon."

"ooh right. I'm sorry from this afternoon. It was not really the right place to talk about it."

"hmm, I understand. Thanks for giving me your number."

There was an awkward silence.

"So, can we talk now? Like in face to face? "Lee Gi Kwang tried to break the silence.

"I ...I.. it's already late, isn't it?"

She felt he was smiling.

"Where do you live? I will come to you."

"I live with my grandmother since my parents abounded me. Maybe I should ask her first."

She heard Lee Gi Kwang swallowing.

"Uhm, how old are you?"

"I'm 17" Hwa Young answered almost whispering.

Lee Gi Kwang didn't know what to say.

He kept silence.

"aaish, I better said that when he was here" He heard Hwa young saying.

He took a deep breath.

Minor or not, he was still responsible for this.

"Go ask your grandmother. Please be fast."

"ooh, okay. Please wait a minute."

Lee Gi Kwang was waiting.

 This was bad.

 Why would a young girl act like she was older?

 Worse what if the press will find out? 

Will people think he has raped her or that he uses younger girls?

 It wasn't like that at all.

"hello, are you still there?"

"oh, yes" Lee Gi Kwang tried to sound confident.

"my granny said it was fine. I'm going to send you the address"

Hwa Young hung up.

A few seconds later, he received a text message with the address. He saw it was only 15 minutes driving.

"okay, I'm on my way." He replied.

Lee Gi Kwang kept on thinking in his car.

He admitted to himself it was love at first sight.

So, he was surprised and overwhelmed when he saw her this noon.

The more when she said, she was pregnant of him. Of course, he was happy.

It's only...now it turns out she is a minor. He doesn't know what to do.

If he knew this before, he wouldn't touch her or even watch at her.

Lee Gi Kwang arrives.

He saw Hwa Young already waiting for him.

She smiled.

Honestly, she didn't except he really was coming so she felt relieved.

"let's go" she said to him.

They were walking until Lee Gi Kwang was wondering where they were going.

Hwa Young pointed at a small playground.

"to there. It's better not to confront granny yet since she would be only worrying."

Lee Gi Kwang nodded. "I see" he answered.

They were sitting on a swing in silence.

They didn't know how to start this conversation.

Lee Gi Kwang tried to start it.

"Thanks for coming this noon."

There was no response.

Hwa Young was only looking at the ground.

He tried to change the subject.

He cleared his throat since he was pretty nervous.

"do you know how far you are?" he asked

Hwa young looked up.

"I don't know. Maybe 7 weeks?"
