Basil-10

Krystal's POV

I was suppose to join the staff for lunch and the meeting too but Dad told me to meet them at our house because there's an emergency with Aunt Jessi. I called Victoria and explained the situation and she said the meeting is just to introduce Jackie's sister, Amber to all of us. I told her I'm just gonna prepare a welcome feast tonight and say my apologies to her. I went out at the back door of the bistro where my scooter is parked and drove my Vespa towards our house.

Well, what do you know! It's not really an emergency, it was an announcement. Aunt Jessi is already 2 months pregnant! Dad and Aunt Jessi is so happy and I'm happy for them too. I'm glad Dad already got over his ex-wife and met this wonderful woman who cares and loves him so much. Aunt Jessi said Dad was just overeacting when he told me it was an emergency, she already smack his head earlier.

We ate lunch together with Aunt Jessi preparing Bulgogi for me. Finally! A non-Italian dish! I missed Aunt Jessi's cooking so much I ate a lot. Dad was pouting like a kid when his share of the Bulgogi was smaller than I have. Sorry Dad, my future step-mom loves me too much!

We talked about the pregnancy and the wedding which will happen a few months after she gives birth. Seems all things are falling into their right places, except one.

I stayed until before 6:00 pm and said my goodbyes telling them I'm needed at the bistro by that time. I promised Aunt Jessi to visit her often in the house or maybe in her office and she happily agreed. My Dad walked me to my scooter and placed the helmet on my head like when I was a kid and he's teaching me how to bike.

"Dad! I'm not a kid anymore!" I whined at him but he knows I like it when he baby me.

"For me Soojung, you still are. Any news about your life? Boyfriend?" I shook my head at the last question. "Err.. girlfriend perhaps? Wait... Are you still a virgin?" He jokingly said and I just laughed at him blushing madly at my father's last question. They actually know about my sexual preference and I'm glad he and Aunt Jessi accepted me.

"DAD!!! That is none of your business! Oh My God! Aunt Jessi!!" I yelled outside hoping that Aunt Jessi will hear me but I think she's already inside their room.

"Okay, okay! I get it, your not a virgin anymore no need to call Jessi. She'll smack me in the head if she heard me asking you that. Sorry baby... "

"I'm already 25 Dad... And I'm going to be an Unnie or Noona after 7 months can you believe that? Take care of Aunt Jessi dad, don't let her go." I smiled at him and gave him a tight hug. My Dad is still handsome even at his 40s.

"Daddy loves you, remember that Soojung."

"Love you too Dad.."

"By the way, what age did you do it?" He suddenly asked and I don't know why I answered him.

"I was 18 Dad....." My eyes went wide and broke my hug with him. My Dad was smiling mischievously at me teasing me. "OH MY GOD!!!"

"JESSI!!! I WON! GIVE ME MY PRIZE!" my Dad yelled and Aunt Jessi went out her hiding place shaking her head.

"Seriously Taeyeon, you're such a kid. Forgive your father Soojung, he forgot to drink his medicine." Aunt Jessi said joking while my Dad hugs her from behind.

I can't believe it! Dad tricked me!

I blew a kiss to her and rolled my eyes to my Dad who is smiling smugly at me. Tsss...

I started the engine and drove myself to the bistro and reached it before 6:00 pm. Guests are already lining up outside and I saw my staff all ready and prepared for the dinner hour. Byul saw me and I mouthed a 'Thank you' to her and proceeded to our office to get change. No one was there when I entered so I wore my chef's uniform and went out clutching my apron.
