Yeji's

It's been 2 days since Ryujin left, Chaeyoung said she's with her but she's afraid Ryujin's not eating well...she even planned to call Ryujin's aunt irene to go in her apartment...I know she's deeply hurt of the news, they're really father and daughter, Jaebom is not eating too and always refuses to come out of his room, I heard him last night crying...I feel sad for the both of them and since they're living inside my house...I guess I need to do something

"Jaebom ...If you feel hungry there's food downstairs, dad and mom bought it for us...please eat something Jaebom...I'm going out but I'll be back later"

Before I even walk away the door unlocked and Jaebom faced me

"Please bring Ryujin back Yeji, I want to see my daughter...I want to see her" He's crying again so I hug him ....he always hugged me back then when I was a kid crying

"Yeah.. I'll try my best, wait for me to come back...eat something okay?" I patted his back and we went downstairs

"Jae, Imma go now" I drive to Chaeyoung's house, I already told her I am visiting and she said she'll not be here, she's going to Gangnam for Irene and Seulgi

I parked my car in front....I hope Ryujin talks to me

I knocked on the door and she opened it, but before I could even speak she shut it close

"Yah Ryujin, Let me in... Chaeyoung knows I'm here"

"Go away! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU!" Woah..that kinda hurts

"I just want to talk to you, come on babe...please come home talk to me"

"I hate you!"

"What did I even do?!" I bang through the door

"RYUJIN OPEN THIS UP!"

"NO!"  I only have a little patience and I swear to God this girl will shorten it more

I texted Chaeyoung asking if she has a backdoor and she texted back a yes, So I left the front door and climb up the fence to go in the backyard, Bingo! The backdoor...I opened it and I saw Ryujin leaning back on to the front door

"Well, you don't have to lean-yah! Ryujin put the pan-Ow..Oh My God my nose is bleeding!" The moment I say the first word...she immediately ran to where I am and whack me with a pan...and my nose is now bleeding great

"Oh my God sorry, come here, don't look up" she get a paper towel and hold it on my nose...

"I think it's okay now" she inched her face closer examining my nose... she's too close I might...no Yeji this is not the right time

"Please come home now Ryujin...my dad is worried about you and Jaebom...I am too"

"I need to reflect on things first Yeji...I need a time away from you and him...but your stubborn ass can't comprehend huh"

"I'm not stubborn...but if you feel like you want to vent out something I am here...I don't understand why do you want to stay away from me too...."

"When did you knew I was his daughter?"

"The day he told you...when you're in Gangnam he told me inside dad's office...I was shocked...I was suppose to give you a heads up but then he just did that, do you hate him??"

"I don't know....I have so many questions running inside my head..Why didn't he look for us when I was a kid? Why did he believed aunt irene when she told him I was dead"

I pulled her to my chest and caress her hair

"you can ask him those whenever you're ready to face him ..."

" I am jealous of you ...I know it's a childish thing but I am ...all your life he's been with you, every birthdays, graduations....If he met me earlier would he do the same? When mom died I felt like the whole world turn it's back on me...I had no one and then there's you...when you felt the world turn it's back on you he was there...."

" I'm sorry if...you feel that way...."

"I never knew this day would come....I still can't believe he's my father..."

"maybe that's really how life works? it works like disney movies"

"Magic??"

" No, destiny....just like you and me and the stars, you and your dad ....it is meant to happen we just don't know it... it's fucked up at first but eventually we will understand it"

The door opened and we both looked up... A woman is standing by the doorway with a grocery basket full of Ryujin's favorite snacks, Ryujin immediately remove her hands around my body and hugged the woman

"oh my baby, are you okay? Me and Seulgi bought your favorite snacks..."

" Oh Yeji you're here" Chaeyoung said and pat me..

" Uh Let me help you maam"  I reach for the bags on the lady's hand which I suppose is aunt irene

"hold up, who are you? "

" Uh she's Ryujin's gir- Friend...Hwang Yeji, Yeji this is Ryujin's aunt ... irene and Seulgi"

Chaeyoung said and I lend my hand for them to shake

" Hwang?? "

" Yes maam... "

They just nodded, Aunt Irene and Ryujin went upstairs to talk so it's just me, Chaeyoung and Seulgi here downstairs but Chaeyoung is on the kitchen

" Are you really just her friend? "  She asked me with a raising eyebrow

" Uhm"

" Come on kid, answer me... Are you just her friend?? "

" N-no... But t-"

" Ep ep ep, save it... I knew there's something between you two... Judging by the way how she hugged you earlier hah, gae"

I thought she'll be hella mad at me... Well this is better ain't it??

"no lies, you look good together how old are you? "

" 23-"

" HOLY MOTHER OF FUCKERS!"

" SEULGI LANGUAGE! " We heard Aunt Irene yell

" Holy shit...23? Are you fucking serious? You stay away from our Ryujinnie right now"

" B-but, I love her ... Believe me my intentions are clear... when she finishes college I'll marry her right away"

" That's not the point here you know? The point is you can get jailed for this"

"well, will you file a case against me? "

" No"

" Then we're good"
