"Come in, Father. "

I said trying hard not to sound rude nor very soft. Father just kept his sharp gaze at me and without giving any reply, he stepped inside.

"Did you skip school? "- he spoke while going inside, not even bothering to have an eye contact with me, who was still standing there holding the doorknob.

Taking a deep breath and closing the door behind me, I followed him to the living room.

Father just sat still on the sofa, resting his body in it, while his eyelids were down, making his eyes closed.

" I thought.. You would arrive sooner and.. Would not find me in the house... So I skipped school. "

- I said in a timid tone, trying not to make it look so formal.

Father remained silent and it was getting kinda awkward there so I decided to say something but he interrupted me by saying,

"Have you found your mate? "

His voice was deep, and eyes weren't closed anymore, staring at me or I can say, glaring at me to be more specific.

"N-not yet, father. "

I said it, not really being sure about it.

He sighed and sat straight, not leaning on the sofa now.

"It's your perfect time.. Don't let it pass."

With that, he got up and left the living room, maybe to get freshened up..

But his words were enough for making me speechless, not being able to fully process what he just said.

My feet kept me standing there, like a statue.

•JI-HAE•

Getting out from the long relaxing shower, I dressed myself and went down stairs to prepare my food, obviously.

My hunger tolerance is not that bad but I don't know what got in me that I'm hungry as hell right now?

While making my food, the sound of the doorbell bothered me.

Being irritated, I took my eye sight to the door which I need to open now...Ugh.. Who can it be?.

My feet took me towards the door and I opened it, not widely. Peeking out would be right.

I peeked out from the half opened door just to see a guy dressed in black, holding a cardboard box. He didn't seem to be young.

"Your parcel is arrived"- he said .

Parcel? What parcel? I never ordered anything.!

" Sorry, but I didn't order anything. "- I said still keeping the door half opened.

The guy's face wasn't clearly visible because of the black cap he wore...

Wait! Wait! Wait! He is it! Right? He's the one who was staring at me in the convenience store that day! Yes, I'm not mistaken.

" It's from Mr. Min Hee-yeop. "- the guy spoke again.

.

.
.

Min Hee-yeop?  Jeez...That's my uncle.. He sent me a parcel? Why?

Finally opening the door fully, I grabbed the box and again took a glance at the middle aged guy in front of me.

What in the heaven.. I clearly remember.. Isn't He the ice cream guy at the beach of our school trip?!?.... Gosh.. Is he stalking me?

Back then at the beach, he gave me weird looks which I fully ignored. But what is this now?

" W-who are you?! Why are you following me? "

- I asked with my voice close to get cracked because of the man.

The guy became silent and was about to take a step to me but I threw the box which was on my hand and got my phone.

"I'll call the police! "

"N-no, you don't need to do that. I'm not a bad person. "- he said while stopping at his place.

His voice wasn't hearing like he's faking... So, I asked him,

" Who..are...you?"- full suspection in my eyes.

The man traveled his eyes everywhere to make sure that nobody hears him and then , he spoke lowering his tone,

"He's after you now, I was told to keep an eye on you.. But really.. I felt so sorry for you.. I can't do it anymore.."

Huh? What is he saying? Who's after me?...

I was about to ask him but he cut me off by saying,

"Stay safe... I just did my job.."

With that, he ran away from there sooner than my words to come out from my mouth...
