My White Pearl

Chapter 30-Let's talk about...

Seon's P.O.V

Every time I think about that plan of mine, it made me think that I'm strong and I'm ready to face the world alone.

That plan is like my ticket to finally be  really really free. Be free from all this drama, all this ludicrous events that happened to me, all the nauseating scenes and most importantly all this lovey dovey things that never really happened to me.

It's like I'm letting it all go at once but for the better. To create a better you, one must let go and I think that I have think this through enough. I want to be on my own from now on.

I want to finally do what I really wanted to do. My real dream since I was younger. Though I have yet to reveal this so called 'plan' to my parents but I will tell them that nothing is going to stop me from doing what I want.

Yes, sometimes it's hard to be in a family that has a company to keep but I know God gave us that for a reason and whatever that reason is for us alone to find out through our own way.

Whether God gave your family the company because He wants you to donate money to those who are in need or maybe because He wants you to be one of the leading companies of the world.

In my case, I think God really wanted my fanily to feel that they are still loved. Why love you guys ask? Because my father wasn't even on speaking terms with my grandfather after I was born.

But my grandfather still proved that he loved my father when he told us to come back. Even though I know part of it was because he was truly ill. But nevertheless he still wanted us to see him for the last time.

My grandfather gave hugs to us and he apologised to my family for ignoring us all this years. Especially me. He told me that the day I was born was actually his most happy day but he doesn't know how to express his feelings towards my father.

I asked my mother and father if they could come home to Korea for a day because I had something to tell them.

They said they have a business meeting here so they would come home for a little while. I wanted to tell them what my plan is all about. I just hope they would understand me why I chose to do it.

"Mother, father I'm going to go...uhm..our of Korea." I said to my reflection in the mirror.

"No no no...that's not it. How should I put it? Hmmm...." I heard the doorbell rang.

I'm sure that's my parents. I don't have time to practice anymore. I should just speak. Breath, Seon. Just relax.

I went downstairs to open the door and there they were, both my parents. My father was still in his suit and my mother was still wearing her fancy dress.

"Hi mother, father." I said as I open the door wider for them.

"Hi, sweetie." My mother said as they went to sit in the living room.

"Do you guys want anything?" I said.

"It's okay sweetie. We're fine. Oh, and we are going to sleep the night here. It's too tiring to go back to France today." I nodded my head at what she told me.

"Well, I have something to tell you. Both of you." Pause. "Mother, father, I know I messed it up on the whole marriage thing and I really am sorry about that but I really want to be more independent. To be more confident in myself."

I took a deep breathe. "What I meant to say is that can you both give me permission to go away from Korea? I mean to travel. It has almost been my dream to explore the outsides of the world and I want to make it come true."

I stopped to look at them. My father was expressionless while my mother was shocked.

"And if you're worried about school, I plan on quitting it for now. After I'my satisfied with my travel I promise I will go back to school. To college, I mean."

Relax Seon. "I really really wish both of you would let me go. Just for a while. So I could get my mind straight. So I could relax a little. Please mother, father. I beg for your permission." I said as I looked to the ground and fiddled with my fingers.

"Can I talk to you in private, Seon?" I heard my father said in a serious tone amd i won't lie to you, I'm hella scared right now. At what he's going to say to me. I just hope he'll be a little more okay with it.

"Of course, father." I said trying to sound as calm as I can.

He walked to the room beside the living room. It was his old office. I followed suit.  I could still remember how he was always working here till late night. His hands always in his face. I'd think that it was because he was too stressed out. Too stressed out from all the work he was given.

As soon as we stepped in the old office room, he immediately start the conversation, "I'm sorry Seon."

This made my face turned into shock. "Why are you saying sorry? You didn't do anything wrong father." I told him.

"I did do something wrong. I always do something wrong. Seon, I know I haven't been a good father to you and I hope you can forgive me."

There was slight pause before he continued, "It was selfish of me to set you and Yixing up for marriage. I didn't think of my family at that time. I didn't think about how you would feel. I only think that you would never disobey me and I only think about the company."

"It's okay fathe—"

"No, it is not okay. I know you always say that it is okay but the real thing is your not. You can hide all this emotions away from anybody but you can't hide them from me. You're my little angel, Seon and I know when you are and when you are not okay."

Okay, I admit this is a little bit emotional. But I never would have thought that my father would notice all of this. I suddenly felt a flow of tears making its way through my cheek.

"I hope you can forgive me, Seon. I really do." He said as he took a step towards me.

"I always forgave you father. I never once see you as a bad father. I knew that you were only doing what was suppose to be best for me. For the family. For the company. So I'm not blaming you on anything. I never did." I said.

"Thank you Seon. You've always been a good daughter. I love you, my daughter, Seon." My father said as he closed the space between us and hugged me. I, of course, hugged him back.

After a while we let go. "Seon, you have my permission to go away from Korea. To spend your time travelling. I never knew it was your dream to travel. So I'm letting you go. I know I can trust you. I always have." He said as he smiled at me.

I jumped as I hugged him more tightly than before. "Thank you father! I love you so much" I said.

"I'll let you go, if and only if, your mother let's you go too." He said.

"I'll go ask her now then." I said as I jump in joy going to my mother with a big smile on my face.
