Chapter 23: Tempted ✉

"Kim Rae Seok POV"

I called my father's lawyer again...

We met up at the cafe area near by..

"Miss Kim Rae Seok?" A person appeared.

"Yes," I stood up and bowed.

"I'm your dad's lawyer Mr. Allred, I'm glad you are cooperating with me.." he smiled.

"So, before I start explaining everything to you, there is one rule.." he started.

"Yes sir, what is the rule?" I asked.

"Your father have left you a special letter before he passed away. With this letter there is a contract. But here's the thing, I know that you barely grow up with your dad and it's terrible idea for him to leave... But in this letter is the answer why..." he said as he handed me the letter..

"To my lovely and beautiful daughter, By now you have figured out I have left you and mom for all those years... I have a reason on why I left.. As much as I know how you and mom would hate me and never forgive me there's one thing. At the time when you were 5 years old, I had to think this through... Our family was poor and we needed money to take care of you and our family. I came up with a plan to make money.. I married a woman to go over to America to make money.. After that I was going to go back to Korea to give the money. Please watch out for your step sister Haeun.. I know you might as well hate her but please dont.. she doesn't even know about a thing.. Leaving you guys behind was the worst decision ever but I knew this plan was going to work and I'll be able to take care of you and mom... I know how much you despise this old man.. I wouldn't blame you ever but to repay everything.. I left you this heritage. For now that I'm gone, promise me to keep taking care of yourself and your mother. I'm such terrible father and person I know. But I hope you know I think of you everyday, and I will still love you forever and always. It's ok if you never fogive me, but never forget me because I was your father. "

- Goodbye my dearest daughter.

I read the letter as tears were rising... Why would he leave me this letter? Why! He left money to care for me? is that what you call love? You don't have to leave a family to marry another woman to make money you know? At the same time I was overwhelmed. I never really had a father... and he just died before me..

"Miss, here's the contract I need you to signed to agree with the heritage he left you," Mr. Allred said.

He left me so many things! Did he do all this to have all these stuff given to me? Is the love between us is only money? This amount of money to.. Of course he couldn't take care of my family all these years.. This must be a repaying for leaving..

I was out of words after that... I signed the contract and left the place..

I decided instead of calling a ride home.. I needed a walk alone..

I started kicking rocks as I walked down the lonely path.. I was at a park and it was a bit dark by now. .

I sat down at the bench and started thinking.. until I started tearing up
.. I pull my legs up as my crying was worse... I felt something cold landed on my arm...

"Lay's POV"

We were all tired and exhausted. All 12 of us is laying on the sofa right now.. Our parents were gone for dinner but we were all here in our house..

"What should we do?" Chen asked.

"I don't know, I'm hungry," Xiumin said as he headed for the kitchen.

"What's for dinner?" Baekhuyn asked.

"Why are all y'all thinking about food? Now I'm hungry," Kris whined.
