Mom weaved at us while taking her seat in the car.
" Take care while
We decided to buy some ice cream together. At the store, my brother Han Seong didn´t want to go inside, so I decided to stay with him at the checkouts. After a while Seo Eun came down to us, while reaching my phone that she had borrowed earlier to my.
"It's been ringing a couple of times" She said, then turning to continue with the snack shopping.
I reached for my phone, that was calling, to see the caller ID on the display. I immediately tensed up when I saw that it was my dad.

To be honest, I've almost never had a good relationship with my dad. Don´t get me wrong, I love my dad it's just that we didn't have the best father and son relationship, you could say.

I answered the call and it started off better than I thought.

"Hello, hi, how are you?" I spoke to the other end

"Hi Yoon Gi-ah I´m fine, how about you, where are you?"

I got a bit nervous.

"I'm fine thanks, I´m at the grocery store with Han Seong and Seo Eun buying ice cream."

"Ah, Yoon Gi-ah, where is your mom?" His voice became a little bit darker, making me uneasy and unsure.
Is it okey to tell him, that mom left for vacation? Sure our parents don't live together and mom is our only guardian. What's the worst that could happen?
If I tell him the truth, is it enough? Has he ever been satisfied with any of my answers, could he ever be?

"Eh..uhm..."

Realising that I didn´t have a choice at this point than to tell the truth. So that's what I did.

"She's taken a vacation, it's just a few days and Mari, our aunt is looking after us." I said hastily, hoping he would let it pass.

"Which store. I'm coming over."

And with that he hung up the phone, and I was left not knowing what to do or say.

On the way back home I told my older sister Seo Eun about what just happened, feeling guilty about the situation.

When we reached the door outside our house, my dad showed up in his car. He told Han Seong and me to quickly fetch some clothes and get inside the car.

My sister and Mari tried to talk with him as I followed his orders, but he wouldn't listen, so me and my brother said our goodbyes to both of them and drove off with our dad.
