BEGIN AGAIN

Chapter Five

Today I'm going to admit Suyeong to an Elementary school near my workplace.

There's two reasons why I chose a place near my workplace instead of near our home. One, it would be convenient for me to drop her off and pick her up from school. And two, I can check on her anytime if anything happens.

Well I'm the type of parent who prefer to spend as much time with my child as possible. I've always abode by that rule. Being a single father and doing everything on your own, on top of spending as much time with Suyeong as possible isn't going to be easy and I knew that.

So if putting her in a school near my workplace helps in that aspect I'll give anything to take that opportunity.

Suyeong was in an elementary school in Ilsan. But moving her from there, I was always in a dilemma if it would be good for her. But when I talked to the elementary principal I felt a bit more relieved.

Finished with the admission process I took Suyeong out to have some cakes as we eased into our life in Seoul.

And already it was time for Suyeong to start school and for me to start work. As planned I dropped Suyeong to school and walked to my new office. Jipuragi law firm.

The first few weeks went very smoothly. Chief Hong is a polite and attentive woman. She looks after everyone in her company as her family. She would sometimes be MIA for a few days as I heard from my desk neighbour Mr Ko. But other than that everything would go smoothly.

I wasn't involved in any case just yet. I was given the task to arrange the exhibits for now.

On one such day, I went to the Supreme court to submit the copies of the exhibits for the case next day.

The supreme court is quite a maze. And being lost here is quite expected from me. But what I didn't expect was to quite literally bump into a familiar face.

I was going to find Mr. Jung and give the copies of the exhibits to him. But to find him when I reached the second floor, I found myself lost. There were a few twists and turns I remembered, but then I couldn't remember where I should go or how I can find my way back. I couldn't go forward, or go back to where I came from. So the nearest thing I did was move forward, trying to follow the room numbers.

While turning a corner,  I wasn't really looking where I was going and as I turned I bumped headfirst to a strong chest.

What the heck is the chest made of? Was what I thought inside my head. But didn't dare say it out loud. Instead I said this.

"I'm so sorry, mister. I wasn't looking!"

But when I looked up the man was the same man I met at the Jipuragi law firm. 'Kang Yohan' was his name, right?

"Damn right, you weren't."

His annoying voice exclaimed. I don't know why, but I instantly got annoyed by this man. I'm normally not like this. I don't judge people easily. But when it comes to this man, I just can't control my emotions.

"You!"

"What?" He smirks at me as if he won a war. "You should look at where you're going. Really!"

He tilts his head to one side.

I tear my gaze away from his face. And then I look around. I find the place we're standing at is quite isolated. And it has a different vibe from the entire supreme court.

The whole place is only a corridor leading to a brown wooden door. Surprisingly bare unlike the other corridors of the whole place. The white walls were so bare as if it led to the door of heaven.

When I finally looked at the man in front of me his smile has gotten wider.

"You look like you're not really pleased to meet me 'again'."

Stressing on the again as if I should be happy.

"Well I'm not."

He smiles again. But controls his emotions fast. Or maybe just hides it. I'm not sure which one is worse.

"Are you lost? Who are you looking for?"

He changes the topic and I finally let out a sigh of relief. I definitely wasn't enjoying the flow of conversation we were having.

"I'm here to meet Mr. Ko."

"Oh! Let me lead the way."

And without even looking back he starts walking. Wait a moment, will you?

I cursed in my head and started following him. I'd be doomed if I lose his sight and get lost again. Looks like Seoul is welcoming me well by having me lost at random places.

I hate to admit, but I really did want to ask for the man's help. Good thing he offered first. My ego was nurtured in a way.

I was probably walking while  lost in thoughts that I didn't see when Kang Yohan has already stopped. And I bumped into his back.

Dammit!

What is wrong with me?

I'm good at bumping into people these days now, am I?

Kang Yohan side eyes at me. As he shows me Mr. Ko's desk on one side of the room.

Then he takes off. Giving off nonchalance as if he doesn't have a care in the world. Why, unknown to me.

Damn, Kim Gaon? Why do you even care?

I finish my work at both supreme court and in the law firm and then got back home, after picking up Suyeong from school.

As our daily father-daughter time progresses I realise how happy I am to have had Suyeong. How happy I am that we really didn't go through with the abortion. How happy I am to tell me happily about her time in school. How she made friends and how she loves this math teacher so much because she's fun.

I swell with pride that we created this little walking, talking, enthusiastic human being that I could cry.

And when I hear Suyeong say like every night that she loves me I fall a little deeper. I feel a little brighter.

"Appa loves you too Suyeong ah!"

Soo here goes another chapter!!

So how are my precious pandas doing?? Hope you're having an awesome day!

So I was having quite some trouble writing this chapter! Well honestly I normally struggle writing fillers...
If it's an important chapter where important things are happening, I won't have trouble expressing the up and down of emotions or describe the atmosphere in detail... But when it comes to fillers, I go blank!

So here goes nothing!
I did my best!

Also please let me know how you think! I'll be waiting for your comments!

Enjoy
All the love
