CHAPTER 26

IRENE

It is not easy to return home after a long journey to another country. Especially when you are away from those you love and from your parents, despite the fact that they have previously visited me during my time in Venice, Italy.

It's surreal to think that my contract is finally over. Working abroad for two years and being the team leader was a huge opportunity and experience for me not only as a business owner, but I also learned a lot during that time. I am both happy and afraid because I will be dealing with reality soon and will have to face what the coming days will bring because I am now in a land where the truth may triumph and reveal itself in just one wrong move for me.

It's been a few days since I arrived in SoKor with my little angel, who is now sleeping in our room at my parents' house. I don't want to go back to my old condo unit because they'll know I'm back if I'm dropped off there after my plane lands here in SoKor. There's also a chance that the other squad will notice me because we were all staying in the same condo building that Lisa owns, which I don't want to happen because I have my son with me, so I decided to stay at my parents' house for a while and finish some paperwork to move into the other condo building that Lisa owns, which is separate from the other squad condo building.

My parents also advised me to consult with architects and engineers about building my own home, but I told my mother that I had no plans to do so. I just want to stay with them for a while and finish my plan for my café restaurant, and then maybe after a year of saving money and doing other things, I'll be dealing with my own house with my son.

I'd just gotten home from work after that interaction and a surprise plan with the girls, which resulted in the entire squad being present except for her. That makes me feel better and more at ease about the fact that we won't be able to see or talk to each other.

I'm fine with them and she's fine with me. I know she's dating someone now, and I'm happy for her because she now has her own life that can make her happy and exceed what I did before when we were still together. That someone will look after her and be by her side no matter what happens during their journey as a couple.

It's strange how I still think about her despite the fact that I tore her apart and broke her into pieces the day she took care of me in that scenario after my work before and I passed out and woke up in her hotel room. I don't know, and I didn't expect that day to come, nor did I expect the world to play with us. It's strange how I feel regret for what I did, but it's all in the past now, and this is who I want to be. To keep her away from us and to encourage her to move on and find someone new who she will love for the rest of her life.

We have our own lives to attend to. We're no longer such impressionable teenagers when it comes to things that require a decision. Things are becoming more important and must be handled with caution. We used to be able to play and make jokes about things, but now we can't because we're all grown up individuals, and even though we won't be getting old for a long time, we have to think about every day and every decision we make that will affect our future, especially when we have children and our own families.

I'm not just fine and ready to tell them about my son, particularly to her. I can't imagine that if they knew he was my son, especially with her, she wouldn't take him from me or take him away from me with her new family in the future but I'd do anything for my son just to be able to spend my life with him. I'm not sure what I'll do when that day arrives. She can go to him and visit him whenever she wants, but don't make him leave by my side because I don't know what will happen to me if she does. It's hell to think about my son running away from me.
