Soulmates

Thirty Five

Son Chaeyoung's POV

I'm now on my way from JYPE building to my apartment. As expected, PD-nim asked me what happened between me and my biological father and regarding me and Mina's dating scandal. He's kind of disappointed but that's all I can do for now and I'm really sorry for Mina Unnie. I hope if she knew about it she'll forgive me. As of the moment, my dating controversy over shadowed Mina's dating scandal which making me more relaxed now. I'm really not the type of person minding negative comments about me rather I'm more concern to my family and friends who'll be hurt because of me. After four months away from Korea, my parents decided to go home. If you are wondering, my step dad is also a Son. He's the first cousin of my Dad. Well, I really don't mind if mom chose him after my dad. He's complete opposite of my biological father. He likes arts and he's a skilled painter.

I opened my apartment door and saw my mom cleaning the living room.

Hi Mom. I smiled and waved at her.

You! When was the last time you stayed here? She suddenly asked me.

One month ago? I said.

Aigoo. That's not how you welcome your daughter who you didn't saw in four months dear. My appa said to my mom.

I smiled at him and he wink at me. I walk towards where they are and hugged them.

Why it's so messy here Kat? She raised her eyebrow.

I'm busy mom. No time to clean. I answered.

Well, how's your girlfriend?  My appa asked me.

My mom stopped cleaning and  glared at me.

She's my friend. And, she's okay.  I answered glaring at my father.

Ahem.. So, what did your CEO told you? My mom asked.

I'm suspended for a month or maybe more than that. No public activities. I answered her.

I'm surprised they will suspend you only for a month?! I thought they will terminate your contract?! She jokingly asked me.

Well, they can also do that. But, I doubt they can find another trouble maker like me. I confidently answered her.

That's my girl! If ever they change their mind and terminate your contract, it's your time to pursue arts. And, I know a good school for arts. My appa said.

Wow. So, you already planned everything ahead? That's so cool of you appa. I said.

Then, join us in Paris next week. My mom suggested.

I'm just gonna stay here mom. Not interested. I said while slumped my body in the couch.

No! You're going with us. It's not good for you staying here alone with the situation you are in. I'm worried something might happen here. She reasoned out.

I'm a grown woman mom... I'm not killing myself just because everyone hating me.. I whined.

No! That's not it. I know you'll never do that it's just I'm really worried. She said.

Oh' by the way honey... My appa butted in.

What is it, appa? I asked him.

Invite your rumored girlfriend here as soon as possible. He said giggling.

I widened my eyes.

Yeah. I'm also curious who's this new friend of yours. Mom added.

Why? I asked them.

Because I know my daughter is not friendly and letting just someone to hug her is very suspicious. My mom said glaring at me.

I'm being honest here Mom. She's a friend. I reasoned out.

We know. We're just curious. How did you befriend the one and only heiress of Han Group?! My appa teasingly asked me.

Ahh.. I really hate this personality of him. His so curious of everything around me. He's like a detective that will not let me go not until he is satisfied to my answers.

No! I won't tell you. I sternly said.

Come on. I'm really curious. I can't sleep since I saw the article. He said.

And, why is that?! I raised my eyebrow to him.

It's just your Dad will be furious when he know this. He said.

For dating a girl?! I asked.

Maybe?! One thing is that Han Group is the rival company of Son Group. He seriously said.

My jaw dropped.

You don't know? My mom butted in.

I vigorously nodded.

I saw my mom and appa sigh.

Well, that's it. That's why we are curious. And, if ever you two fall in love. It's a like a Romeo and Juliet love story. My appa added.

Fall in love? We are just friends. I said.

You are also friends with Mina before you fall in love, right? My appa smirked at me.

My jaw dropped.

How? When? Where? Who told you that? I nervously asked.

You! When you're drunk you just said it to me.. to us. You don't remember? Appa curiously asked.

I vigorously shook my head.

That's it. You're not allowed to drink much Kat. You know your personality changes opposite of your normal self. Mom said.

What do you mean? I asked.

She said you are a cub in your normal self and a tiger when drunk. So, better not be drunk too much. He warned me.

Is that so?! I think I'm fine though it's just I can't remember anything.  I said.

It seems that you didn't paint much since we left. My appa said while looking around.

Yeah. Kind of busy. I answered.

He nodded and started to watch a movie. I guess my appa is already satisfied to what he knew right now. He is like that.

Mom? I have a question. I called my mom.

What is it? She asked me.

Aren't you two planning to give me a baby sister or brother? I curiously asked.

My mom throw the pillow in my face.

Ahhh! What was that for? I asked.

That's for asking non-sense question. She said.

Eh? I just want to have a baby sister or brother?! I'm so lonely. I whined.

Well.. We are doing our best but it's seems that its not yet the right time. Appa butted in while laughing.

Just get yourself a boyfriend. Mom said.

And, what for? To make babies? I asked.

My mom and dad glared at me.

I'm just joking. Okay?! I nervously said.

Then, find a someone to love so you won't be lonely. Appa suggested.

I already found but she's not into me though. I mumbled.

And just like that, my apartment became an interrogation room again. My mom and appa kept in asking things about me.
