"Well that's your fault. WHO TOLD YOU TO LOOK THAT BEAUTIFUL?"





A year ago (Day before Jake's sudden leave.)


Jake was cleaning around the home after every kids went to school. He was humming, sweeping the floor when he heard a car park.

"Did he finish early?"  Jake smiled, running towards the main door.


"You are early, lo-" Jake's smile drops when he sees his father standing there instead of Sunghoon.



"Are you done running away?" Jake's father smiles.

"D-dad? How? Why are you here?" Jake steps back.


"First give your old dad hug, baby. It's been like seven months since we saw last time." His dad opens his arms. 

Jake give his dad a suspicious look before walking towards him and hugging him tight, "I kinda miss you dad."


"Now, let's go back to where you belong, son." His dad pulls away from the hug.

"Not again." Jake sighs walking inside, "Not this topic again dad."


"Your grandfather is sick and wish to see everyone before he leaves." His dad follows him.

"Leaves? Is he in serious condition?" 

"He is. That's why I am here to take you back."


"But dad-"

"Okay. You can visit him as he wishes and come back. I won't do anything."

"Should I trust you dad?"

"You can." His dad nods.


"Okay. I'll be there."

"Let's go then."

"NOW?" Jake yells.

"Yes."


"I need to say to the guys and-" Jake pauses.

"Sunghoon?" His dad raises his brows, "Okay say your goodbyes with the kids and your boy. Tomorrow we are leaving."

"Dad-"

"See you tomorrow." With that his dad leaves.

Jake reached Australia and the atmosphere was kinda unusual in his house. His grandpa was happily sipping his wine playing with his great-grandson.

"Granpa?" Jake stands beside him.

"Ohh my Jakeyyyy." His grandpa pulls him in a hug.


"I thought you were sick?"

"Sick? This old man is stronger than ever."


"But dad-" Then he realized his father's cheap trick.

"Granpa, I'll come later okay? I have meeting with dad."

"Sure."





Jake storms inside his father's office with a loud bang. His dad smiles, very very innocently, "Yes son?"

Jake scoffs in disbelief, "Dad, our grandpa is fine."

"Ohh really?" His dad smiles.


"DAD!" Jake yells.


His dad smile drops, "What?"

Jake gulps at the sudden shift in atmosphere, "Why did you lie?"


"You keep running away, what can I do? Your old dad is tired running after you son."

"Dad-" Jake shuts down when his father stands up.


"Look, Jakey, I just want you to use your talent in our company. You are the heir after your Jaehyunie hyung. You should stop behaving like a teenage and start acting like your age."

"I don't want that kind of life, dad." Jake sighs, "I don't wanna be like mom."


"What? Jake-"

"Dad, I worked like crazy for you for past seven years. Now please let me go and let me live. I am tired." 


His dad sits down, "Okay then I'll set you free if you promise to help our company to expand in Korea too."

"Dad-"

"If not then get married with Nicholas." 


"I am leaving. Talking to you is like talking to wall." Jake walks out banging the wall again.
