Unconditionally (BOOK 3)

Father and Son

"Wooyoung, can I talk to you?" I knocked on his bedroom door quietly. We were all getting ready to go to our family's homes for the rest of the night.

"Come in." He said from inside. I opened the door and sighed once I closed it shut. "What's up?" He was spraying cologne on his neck and his wrists to finish his look.

"Can you drop Felix off at his house? I don't want him driving with one arm."

"And where will you be?"

I was hesitant to answer, but I don't want to keep anything from him anymore. "To see my dad."

"Are you serious?" He looked worried but not necessarily against it. "Are you sure?"

I nodded. "My therapist in the rehab and I talked about it, and I think today should be the day to do it. I think I know where he is so I just want to talk to him. No one deserves to be alone on Christmas."

"Take my car instead. It only has two seats so I wouldn't be able to take Felix. I can use yours, right?" I nodded. "Okay, good. Does Felix know?"

"Yeah, of course."

Wooyoung gave me a hug and rested his head on my shoulder. "Please, please, please be careful. Text me when you're on your way to Felix's afterwards, okay?"

"I will. I promise I'll be okay."

"Good. I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Oh, you're staying the night?"

"Yeah, so is San's family since the drive is so far. He wants to be with them for as long as possible."

"I love that you're all spending it together. I bet mom is about to find a new best friend." I smiled, just thinking about how much they'll get along.

"She definitely will." He nodded. "Good luck, Jinnie. Don't call me unless you're crying."

"Okay." I laughed, leaving his bedroom. "Love you."

"Love you too."

I walked back into my bedroom to see Felix sitting on the bed, looking nervous as can be.

"You okay?" I kneeled down in front of him, taking his hand in mine. He was actually shaking which started to make me worry.

"I'm okay." He nodded. "I just hope you'll be okay."

"Of course I will." I kissed his lips, and then his shaking hand, hoping it would somehow help. "I love you so much, angel, I'll see you in a couple hours."

"I love you too." He sighed, kissing my forehead. "Leave the second he upsets you."

"I will." When I stood up, I lifted his chin so I could look into his eyes. "You're beautiful, by the way." Felix started to blush and rested his cheek on my hand. "I'll be shocked if I'm not there before dinner."

"Hyunjin, don't rush this for my sake, I understand."

"Okay." I sighed, already feeling guilty of what could potentially happen. "I'll see you soon then."

I left our bedroom, went down the stairs, grabbed Wooyoung's car keys and started to drive to my old house. I was profusely sweating and obnoxiously tapping the steering wheel at every red light I hit. There's the chance that he's not even there, but where else would he go? I can't imagine anyone wanting to associate with him after everything he did.

"Alright then." I sighed, seeing lights on in the house. I turned off the car and walked towards the front door. Do I knock? Ring the doorbell? Or should I just let myself in? We're going with option C. "Dad, you here?" I called out.
