Cheating my Boyfriend with my Girlfriend | WINRINA / JIMINJEONG

Chapter 52

Going Back Home

- KARINA -

" Are you really sure about it? '' Minju asked me while driving the car to Minjeong's house.

After I talked to mom, I have decided to go back home and be with her. She's my mom. It's my duty as her daughter to take care of her and help my siblings. And about dad? I am setting it aside.

" Yes, I need to go home for my mom " I boringly replied looking outside the window.

" How about Winter? "

" she'll understand. "

I hope so.

"okay"

We took another minute or two before we reached the house.

" Thank you Minju, do you want to go inside while waiting for me? " I asked her as I opened the car door.

"Nope, I'm good here, go and prepare your things. "

"You sure?"

"yes"

" okay " I closed the door and strode towards the house, tired of thinking what to do next after caging myself again inside my dad's property.

- WINTER -

I'm driving my car going home after a long and tiring day of work, but just the image of Jimin waiting for me in our home with that angelic smile or the good smell she's cooking, her kiss and hugs sweeps away the tiredness like magic.

I parked my car and noticed Minju's car outside.

I beamed through the window and saw her with her eyes closed. I didn't try to wake her up and go directly inside with my mind running the thoughts because Minju is out there like she's waiting for someone.

I padded the lock and swung it open. In the living room, I saw Jimin sitting with two luggage in front of her. Our eyes met and I could tell that she was going to say something that might cause my heart to break.

"Where are you going? " I asked with a pounding heart. Jimin looked at me with a weary glare.

"I... think I'm not going to be happy with what I was about to hear, right? " My voice was shaking and she's on the verge of tearing up.

She stood up and walked up to me.

"M... mom wants me to go back home " she paused and just stared at me. We're standing just two feet away from each other. I shrugged my shoulders and the happiness before was replaced by loneliness and sort of disbelief.

"So, you're leaving me here....a... alone? " I told her as I swallowed the building lump in my throat.

She glanced down and clenched her fist then unrolled it and met my gaze again.

"I'm sorry baby but I need to go home, mom needs me. " She paused and encircled her arms around my neck " don't worry I'm going back here. I'll visit you often that you never think that I'm not living here anymore " she lowly chuckled and hugged me tight.

I nodded and rested my face at the crook of her neck. Although my heart was screaming to not let her go, my mind tells me to do so.

" Alright if that's what you want, don't worry I do understand, besides she's your mom " I smiled and pulled away.

I wiped her tears on her face and her arms found its haven around my waist.

Why on earth is this beautiful creature always crying?

"Thank you pup. I love you sooo much " she smiled and leaned forward to kiss the tip of my nose.

I caressed her cheeks softly " I know how you love and miss your mom, but how about your dad? "

"I can deal with him later, for now my priority is my mom, she needs me there as well as my siblings. "

" Okay just be careful, love " I told her pulling her once more to my warmth,

"I will" she smiled, and we kissed again.

"You came back " dad told me flatly as he maneuvered his seat and faced me.

I'm currently sitting in his office, and I miss the feeling of old days, me and dad like this. My dad looks older, his wrinkles and lines are now visible all over his face, his hair was gray, and his body was tired. His smiling aura was replaced by worry and sadness that was surely the fruit of everything that the situation brought up to his shoulder like a heavy baggage.

I averted my gaze down to the floor, feeling so guilty that I was one of the reasons why he became like this.

I hurt my father, during the time he needed me I wasn't there to help him and it's hurting me as well.

"I came back for mom " I almost cried, remembering that she's really sick and I never had the plan to go back here if not just only for her.

"I know, she misses you, Jimin and I.......I ...miss you too my princess " he sincerely said, clasping his hands together on top of his desk.

I never thought that he'd say that he's mad at me, but he misses me? Yes, I think he's telling the truth. The way he said it I know he's telling the truth.

"D...ad " I cried.

Dad stood up and now stands in front of me. He held my hands and pulled me to stand. He hugged me so tight, and I did the same. He rested his chin on top of my head and spoke.

"I miss you, my princess. I'm sorry if daddy let you suffer. When I cast you out my heart died, you're my daughter and my precious one, you know how much I love you. I feel so hurt the way I treated you, the way I hurt you and I'm very sorry baby. The moment I learned about your mom's sickness it was like I died twice. I can't see her like this. I tried to be strong for her and for this family but there were times I just wanted to give up. " He sighed.

That time, I couldn't hold my tears any longer. The remaining water inside my ducts rolled down like waterfalls and it's impossible for me to stop.

"I'm sorry daddy for everything and I missed you so much " I hardly replied crying.

Dad shifted his body so that I can snuggle more inside his warmth. I can hear from his chest his heartbeat, it's calmer than I thought and it's like a lullaby to me with the same song he played when I was a child. He holds me more firmly and the way I look at it, he's too afraid to let me go.

" Thank you for being home and doing the right thing " he mumbled softly as he distanced himself from the hug. He met my gaze and dry my now so damp cheeks.

"I couldn't believe that I have a daughter possessing this kind of beauty. " He said smiling with a mixture of pain in it, as a stray tear came down his tired face.

He's really my daddy.

And once more I enclosed myself into his warmth.

I'm not really sure how I can go back-to-back from different situations. Taking care of my mom, being a supportive sister to my siblings, the best daughter to my dad, loving girlfriend to Minjeong and a good friend to Jeno. All are rumbling inside my head. But mom? mom......she's my utmost concern.

Haist! Can I do this all? I have to and I need to.
