Then You Came (DaraGon Fanfic)

Chapter 48

"Mama, you look like you're not feeling well." Tim said, looking at her from the rear-view mirror.

Dara was looking outside the window, trying to distract herself from Jiyong's presence.

She looked at Tim and gave him a smile. "I'm fine, baby."

"You're pale." Jiyong commented. "Are you okay."

"I'm fine." She assured him. "Probably just lack of sleep. I haven't gotten a good sleep since a few days ago, back in Japan."

"We can cancel this if..."

"No, Jiyong... This is not about me. This meeting is important for the kids... I'm okay."

"About earlier..."

"Kiko?"

"I didn't know she was coming."

"There's no need to talk about it... I've no right to discuss it with you anymore, remember?"

"Dara..."

"Why'd she left early?... I'm just curious."

"She said there's something urgent."

Dara nodded and went back to looking outside.

Jiyong heaved a sigh.

Tim and Kim looked at each other, sensing the tension between the two older person in the car.

They got to their meeting place after a few minutes of silence in the car.

"Jiyong... Nice to see you again." Ji Hye (the twins' mother) stood up to greet him. She looked behind him, expecting to see the kids, but got disappointed. "You've promised?" Her expression changed from being bright to dark.

"I'm true to my words, Ms. Wang... I just want to make sure everything's clear."

"I'm not gonna make a step that's gonna hurt my kids."

"I can't be too sure on that."

She chuckled. "You're a little scary, Jiyong."

"I am."

"But that won't have an effect on me... I'm having my kids back."

"Let me just remind you, I'm here because the kids have the right to know about you... But I'm not giving them up."

"Let's see what's gonna happen." She threatened.

"I'm just curious... All these years, you've never asked to have them back... and now, all of a sudden... you're here, showing your perseverance to get the custody of the kids."

"Their mine... I carried them for 9 months."

"That's all you've done for them... You abandoned them after."

"I had no choice."

"You had a choice... You just chose to leave."

"Enough with the talking, Jiyong Kwon... I need to see my kids."

"I'm warning you... Do not frighten or give them information they aren't able to handle."

"You're not someone I'll listen to when it comes to handling my own children... Where are they?"

Jiyong opened the door to let Dara and the twins come in.

Tim and Kim hid behind their Mama, looking a little scared of what's to happen.

Dara squatted to match her height with the twins' and spoke to them in a gentle manner. "Tim, Kim, she's your Mom... Her name is Ji Hye Wang."

Kim hugged her and whispered in her ear. "She doesn't look nice."
