"........,"
Detective Kwon handed me a piece of paper with contact information for a lawyer he recommended.
"Get someone to call him for you tomorrow. He might be able to help you."
"........,"
My mind buzzed with a million questions, none of them about myself or the charges I faced.
How was Si-Yeon?
Was she hurt?
Had they told her about the fight, about me being locked up?
I paced the cell, frustration mounting.
"........,"
The metal door screeched open, momentarily pulling me from my thoughts.
My heart hammered against my ribs as I braced myself for who might walk in.
Disappointment washed over me as I saw not the worried face of Si-Yeon, but the very last people I wanted to see - my father and my two step-brothers.
My father, surrounded by an air of disdain, stood at the forefront, wearing an expensive suit.
He held a briefcase in one hand, his face a mask of irritation.
"This is what you get for running around like a delinquent,"
He spat, his voice laced with disappointment, or perhaps, something closer to inconvenience.
"More trouble than you're worth."
"Father,"
I started, my voice hoarse from disuse.
"Don't 'Father' me,"
He interrupted, his voice cutting through my words like a knife.
"This is a family embarrassment. I have a business meeting to attend. Clean up this mess you've made, and for once, try to be a man about it."
His words stung, leaving a bitter taste in my mouth.
‟You're no longer a son I recognize."
