Foolish Fate

-FLASHBACK-

I am currently on my way home with Yifan. He lives in the dorm but he always walks me home.

"Hey Yifan." He looked at me with puppy eyes.

"Want to meet Joohyuk?" He looked at me as if his eyeballs were going to pop out.

"Really? Joomi? Your going to let me meet Joohyuk?"

"Well, yeah. If you want too." I said nervously.

"Yes, I really want to meet him you know. You keep telling me that I'm such a kid myself that you can't afford to make me meet him." He started to act all cute.

This is the first time I'm letting any of my college friends meet Joohyuk.

"Eomma, Appa, I'm home. I brought a friend." I said out loud.

"Joomi." My dad said. He's clearly surprised for me to bring a friend over besides Nara and Luhan.

"Its okay, he knows, he's actually here to meet him." I told dad and motioned him to sit down.

Then suddenly, Jun ran down the stairs.

"You told me, Joohyuk was a toddler. If that's your definition of a toddler then you really need to go back to school. He's a high school student for Pete's sake." He said whispering behind my ear, which caught me off guard.

"N-No, silly. That's my brother." I walked away as I blushed.

"Jun, where's eomma and Joohyuk?" I asked him.

"We're here dear." I saw my mom emerged from the kitchen with Joohyuk in her arms.

"Aigoo, eomma why do you keep carrying him? He knows how to walk now." I took Joohyuk from her arms.

"Annyeong Haseyo." Yifan greeted my parents.

"Hello! Why don't you stay for dinner?" My mom asked him.

"Okay Mrs Jung." He nodded.

" Aigoo, call us aunt and uncle, it seems that you are very close to our Joomi, she even let you meet Joohyuk." My dad told him. He smiled and nodded.

"Come on, let's go up." I told Yifan. I carried Joohyuk up into our room, and let Yifan in.

"Joohyuk, come here. I want you to meet Uncle Yifan, he's a good friend of eomma." I told him.

"Here, Yifan why don't you carry him." I gave Joohyuk to Yifan, and he was literally scared out of his life to carry a child. I just laughed at them.

"Eomma." I heard him say. "Oh, what is it Joohyuk?"

He pointed at Yifan and tried saying his name. "Ssam-pftone (Samcheon)?" He sat down in frustration, we both laughed at him.

"Why don't you call me Uncle Kris instead." Yifan suggested.

"Kreese?" Joohyuk repeated. I laughed my butt of what he said.

"Hey that's not funny." Yifan walked towards me and pinched me. "YAH! YIFAN THAT HURTS. JINJJA APPA KREESE." I mocked him while rubbing my sore arms from his pinch.

(A/N: Jinjja appa means it really hurts in Korean)

"Ap-A-appa Kris!" I was shocked at what he said. "Appa Kris!!!" He started jumping in joy.

"Yah, Joohyuk-ah, its not appa, its uncle. Hmm?" In a hurry. "Repeat after eomma. Sam-cheon, sam-cheon." I told Joohyuk.

He shook his head and ran behind Yifan, "Appa Kris, eomma." Then pointed at me.

"Joohyuk-ah. Sam-cheon." I told him again. I'm really flustered and I don't know what to do. "Hey, its okay. I don't mind." Yifan held my shoulder.

"Gurae, annyeong Joohyuk. I'm Appa Kris." I he said facing Joohyuk, and Joohyuk just hugged him.

-END FLASHBACK-

"Annyeong Joohyuk! Remember me? Appa Kris? Look at you, so big already." Yifan said striding towards me.

"Appa KRIS!!!" Joohyuk slid down my arms and ran towards him.

"Yah, yah, let's eat breakfast now. You still have school Joohyuk, I need to prepare for work too." I told them while entering the dinning area.

"Eomma!!! Can I play with Appa Kris instead?" He came running.

"Andwae, you can play with Yifan some other time, not now." I told him while preparing the food.

"Hmpph!!!" Joohyuk crossed his arms.

"Aww.. Your eomma's right you know, how about we just play at Saturday?" Yifan muttered while sitting beside me.

"OKAY! Eomma? Can Appa Kris come with us when we get ice cream?" Joohyuk said with aegyo.

"Sure dear, the more the merrier." I smiled back.

"I don't think we will work with XIU Architecture Co." I told Mrs Cha.

I am currently back in the office after dropping Yifan at his apartment.

"Huh? Why? It is largely beneficial towards the company." She replied.

"I know, its just that there are certain holes I found in the plans, I don't think it will suit us." I lied. I decided that we would find another company to support us, I can't afford working with Minseok, it literally would suck the life out of me.

"Is this already final?" She asked.

"No, I still have to tell the president about it, but I know he would agree with me." Appa knew who is the father of my child. He knows what that man did and does not want him to meddle with us anymore. I can easily tell him the reason, and he with no doubt, would agree.

-

"Are you sure dear?" May dad asked me carefully.

"Yes, I met with with my own two eyes. I know its him." I stated. Why do I have a feeling that dad's being hesitant?

"Don't tell me, your not agreeing with me?" I muttered.

"Its not that, its because of the investors. When, they found that we work going to work with XIU Co., they wanted to invest. I can't possibly tell them that I was lying." Dad reasoned.

"Oh my gosh, I can't believe you." I exclaimed.

"I never expected you to choose those investors over me!" I told him while standing up.

"Joomi, we are in a corporate world, I am settling my private matters aside my work space. I hope that you would learn to do that too."

"BUT DAD!" I said almost half-shouting.

"Joomi!" I heard dad's commanding voice. We wanted to keep a professional situation here in the office that's why I never call him dad in the office.

"Whatever, I am the one in charge of this project. I can decide for myself. Thank you for your time President." I bowed one last time before walking away.

This, I think was the first time I answered back to my dad, I promised myself that I would not do it anymore because of the trouble I caused when I was pregnant. But, this, this was too much. He knows very well, that Minseok does not know Joohyuk.

I walked straight in my office and sat down on my swivel chair. I'm so frustrated, I can't believe what's happening.

Knock knock

"Madam, Mr Kim of XIU Architecture is here." I heard Mrs. Cha

OHMYGOSH WHAT?
