...Appa...

Heesung waited impatiently in the living room as he waited for his father. He had to meet him. How could he even think of shutting down his dream project? Nevermind that. How could he sent Ji-ah out of all people for that! He must be out of his mind.

"Oh! Heesung! How are you?"

"Uncle Jaehyun? Hello! I am fine how are you? "

"I am great as always. What brings you here? You only come here if its a family dinner or a bad news. And I'm pretty sure there's no family dinner today. "

"You're always right, uncle. It is the latter. But this time he did something really unexpected."

"Oh! It must be serious. Do I have to leave? "

"No. You're practically family. Its not necessary. " He softly smiled at the man who practically raised him up cause his father was too busy.

The older just smiled.

"Hee! I'm so happy to see you my son!" Said Taeyong as he moved forward to hug him.

"Stop pretending, Appa! Are you trying to shut down 'Dendricule'?"

"No. I am not. "

"Stop lying. Who else would send Dr. Park for evaluating my project if not you. Even if you wanted, you should have been a little discrete and sent someone else. Why her? "

"First of all I am not trying to shut it down. Just postpone it. I want you to focus on 'Eramber' more right now. Secondly, I did that because I am aware how much you both despise each other. "

"And who are you trying to use that against? Trying to get rid of both of us altogether? "

"What are you even saying, Hee? You're my son and she is my favorite student. Not to forget that you both are great assets to my company. Why would I want to get rid of both of you? Since she hates you so much, I thought she would try to find the littlest mistake you make but she didn't. I just recieved her report this morning and it was clear. I did not mean to hurt you. "

"You didn't but I could have..."

"Huh? "

"...I could've...You don't understand, Appa! I hate her to an extent where I could have really hurt her and regretted it for the rest of my life. She drives me insane...in all aspects. "

The room fell silent.

Taeyong sighed.

"I am really sorry, son. This won't happen again. But I really want you to focus on 'Eramber' right now. This project is my dream project. I still couldn't come up with the right formula to make this work. But I know you have the capability to work it out. Please make this work and I promise I won't let anybody even touch you while you're working on 'Dendricule' of course except your wife." His father winked at him.

Jaehyun chuckled while Heesung had a disgusted expression.

"This really doesn't suit you, dad! And what wife?"

"Who knows how long the project might take? You might get married in between. "

"I don't think I can ever... get married."
