Angel POV

"What is this?" My mom asks when I walk in her house. "What?" She shoves her phone in my face. "Mom! You have someone following me?!" It's pictures of me and oppa walking IN KOREA. "Who is that?" She asks. "Why do you have someone following me?" I ask.

"Because I don't trust you. You keep sneaking off and traveling without my permission" She explains. "I am not under your jurisdiction anymore! I don't need your permission to do anything!" She scoffs at me. "Sunghoon Park" she says.

"Don't bother him!" I say. "I won't bother him unless he bothers us" she smirks at me. "there is no us!" I tell her. "You are stuck with me until I say so!" I laugh at her. "I'll see you in court" I walk away.

The next day

"Hi, Mr. Opephedal" I shake his hand. "Hi, Ms. Taylor, how are you?"  "I'm fine and you?" "I'm well. About your case though, it'd be better if you didn't see your mom during this process" I nod. "How long will the process be?" I ask. "It varies but since you're emancipated I'm hoping it'll be more on the shorter side" he says.

"What do I need as evidence?" I ask. "History of your rent payments, your car note payments if you pay them. Your most recent report card, your attendance record and statements from your landlord, a few teachers, and your skating coach just on how your behaviors since emancipation"

I nod. "That shouldn't be too hard" I say with a little confidence. "If you have any problems, please contact me and I'll try to get back to you asap" He says. "I got it, thank you"

~~~~~

"Dad?" I walk into his house "Dad!!" "I'm here! I'm here" I hug him. "Hey, honey. You alright?" "I wanna hangout today" I tell him. "Ooookay. Give me 15 minutes" he kisses my forehead and heads back to his office. I get some soda from the kitchen and make myself at home. Because I am.

Sunghoon hasn't been calling me so I assumed he was busy with the competition like I am. My dad comes down after a while with regular close on. "Have you done your homework for the day?" I nod "okay, let's go" 

~~~~~

"Dad, how did you handle mom?" I ask him. "I honestly don't know. I guess I was too blinded by love" he says. "How do you avoid that?" "Getting blinded by love? I don't know but I can tell you what not to do" I nod eager for him to continue.

You "Don't be afraid to grow and develop. You should never hold back your partner and vise versa. You guys should talk out all your problems"  he says. "That could make my relationship last longer?" He laughs at me. "They're other factors but that could play a big part in it" he says.

"How come we don't see each other a lot?" I ask. "Work along with I wanted you to decide if you wanted me in your life. I don't what your mom tells you" I nod "you're old enough to make your own decisions and I see you more now, don't I?" I nod in agreement.

"That's the one thing I got to decide" I tell him. "You still haven't told her" "No, I'm going to after the competition" he pinches my nose and I move his hand. "Dad!" He laughs at my dismay. "It's not funny" I pout.

"I'm so proud of you, Angel" he says as I rub my nose. "Thanks, dad" I say slightly irritated. "You're my favorite daughter" he says and I roll my eyes. "I'm your only daughter" he laughs again.

Sunghoon POV

It's been a couple of days and Sanbin still hasn't talked to me or Haime. "Yah, how does long it take? He doesn't have any other friends" "I shouldn't have told him, he was doing just fine before. I shouldn't have listened to you" I tell Haime and she turns to me.

"You'll be thanking me when he talks to us again. So shut up!" I roll my eyes at her. "Have you talked to Angel?" I shake my head "she probably thinks I'm busy for the competition"

That is not totally a lie. I am getting ready for that.

The bell rings and we drag ourselves to home room , the class we have with Sanbin. Yesterday he ditched home room. Today... he ditched again. "Wasn't he just here?" Haime asks. "He ditched" She doesn't respond to my attitude.

Lunch

"Sunghoon! Sunghoon, they made sweet and sour pork ribs!" I put my head on the table, tired. "Sunghoon, come on. Get up" she shakes me but I ignore her. "Sunghoon, you can have my milk. I've never really liked it" she pushes the cold milk on my arm.

"Leave me alone, Haime" it gets quiet. "Why are you treating me like this?! I'm your best friend too! I'm helping you. If you would've waited longer, he would've felt worse.

If she would've done something to him, you would've felt worse! You're angry at the wrong person" I don't look up, but I feel the table get slightly lighter as she leaves me alone.

Just like I asked.

I sit and quietly cry by myself.

With Haime

Haime walks out furious with Sunghoon. She bumps into someone, looking up to apologize she sees Sanbin. He quickly apologized and tries to run away but Haime grabs him quickly. "Why are you ignoring us and skipping the classes we have together?" She asks him but he doesn't respond.

"At least go to class" she lets him go. "H-how is Hyung?" He asks her. "He's been much better than this"she says before he walks away. Haime shrugs before heading to the courtyard. Haime was very confused and angry, at the moment the trio didn't seem salvageable.

She knew she couldn't do anything else for the boys since neither wanted to talk to each other, let alone her. She closes her eyes in an effort to relax when she feels a shadow over her. "Mind if I sit?" She opens her to see a vey tall boy blocking the sun. "I'm Keeho" he smiles.
