CHANYEOL'S POV
I rushed out of the meeting with Mr. Kim as soon as he finished talking, i barely even registered half of what he was saying. It's 4:30, which means I have exactly 2 hours before I go to the docks. Yes, I'm going. Why? Because I'm scared. I don't want anything to happen to my mom. I rushed out of school, pass Alissa and ran straight home. I had a quick shower and started looking for clothes to wear. Let's see... full black. I took out the black jeans and a black converse. I pulled out my black muscle tee and a black hoody and my black snap back. Great. It's literally 5:30 right now. Just another hour. And it's a 10 minute walk there so I'll leave out soon. While I was there being nervous a message popped up. Its Alissa. "Hey babe, are u ok?" She texted. Yeah. Just have to go somewhere urgently. I'll see you tomorrow. <3 I replied. Still warming up to the fact that she's actually my girlfriend. Ok, it's 6... time to leave out. I texted mom telling her I'd be out and headed off to the docks.

When I got there, I walked to the big red container at the far end and sat on a rock, waiting. My heart beating at 10000000 miles per second. "You came." A familiar voice said, and my head shot in the direction of the voice. I saw no one. "To your right." He said again and I stood and turned around, slowly. My jaws clenched at the sight of that thing in front of me. "Easy there, Son." He said and approached me. "I've missed you." He said and made another step towards me and I flinched, anger boiling inside my entire being. "What do you want?" I asked calmly. "Well, I just missed you. How's your mom?" He asked. "She's fine." I responded. "I know you have a lot of questions-" "damn right I do." I cut him off. "Language, Chanyeol. I'm still your dad." He reminded and I muttered a low sadly to myself. "One at a time. I'll answer them. " He said and sat. "Why did you leave? " I asked him. He sighed. "Sorry to tell you this, son, but I'm a high profile criminal. I wanted to change. So after I met your mom, I fell in love with her. We got married and I was so happy. But something came up after you were born. And slowly I kept falling back into my old ways. When you got older, it was too dangerous. I had to leave to protect you." He said, looking into my eyes. I don't know how to feel. "But why couldn't you stay? And change? " i asked him. "I wanted to. But it was apart of me. I wanted to stay, but you were obviously obsessed with your books and studying. I don't want to mess with your future so I let you be." I nodded. I respect the fact that he didn't pull me into his shit. "I would like to see your mom. Even though she probably hates me, I still love her. Regardless of how many other girls came my way in past few years." I nodded. "Can I see her now?" He asked sounding happy. I nodded. I hope I don't regret my decision. We walked off together, because I refused to get in his car. We stopped at the door and I knocked. "Mom?" I called. "Coming sweetie." She responded. A few moments later the lock fumbled and mom opened the door. "Chanyeol why did you leave your-" Shit. She teared up. "Honey-" "Stop." She cried, tears rolling down her cheeks. I have no clue what to do. "Honey please." He approached her, she backed away but he grabbed her and hugged her. By this, we were all crying. She whimpered and slapped his chest. "I hate you." She chanted, crying. "No. I love you. I still do. I love you." He said and she just cried. He pulled away and wiped her cheeks tenderly. "I'm sorry." He breathed, kissing her forehead. "You could have stayed. It wouldn't have been too bad." She whispered. "No. It would have. Things got worse. I'm leading now. I can't stay." He responded and she nodded. So she knew? This is too much for me. I've got to admit though. Its nice to see him again. "I know it's hard. But I'll support from afar. I'll send money or whatever you need. I just can't stay." He said to her. "Ok." She responded and I don't know if I'm seeing right but... my parents' faces are latched onto each other. Yeah... I'm not crazy, they're kissing. "I have to go now ok? I love you." He said and turned to me. He pulled me in for a bear hug and squeezed me, I reluctantly hugged back. "I know you miss me. But I'll see you again sometime." He said. I pulled away and nodded. "I won't report you, cause you're my dad. But I might charge you though." I said. "Why?" He asked. "Because dad. You left. And because high profile criminals don't cry. You broke the code. " He smiled at me and ruffled my hair. "See you." He said and kissed my mom one last time before disappearing into the darkness.

See you.
