"THE LOVER"(더 러버)

CONFESSIONS 고백 P.3 (THE END)

#304: Tao's Pov

There are 3 things you can't recover in life: the word after it's said, the moment after it's missed and the time after it's gone.

What I now regret is not saying I love you before

A week passed since Kendall gave me Kris's number but I didn't call him. I wasn't able to do it.

I made up many excuses to myself working, house chores, shopping... everything was an excuse to not face the reality.

I was doing a photoshoot at the moment in a factory,  I was participating in a calendar promotion. I was dressed as a worker

"Ok Tao-ssi we'll have a small break. Guys bring him something to eat " The director demanded

I went outside to eat my lunch when I saw some of the staff members there. I wanted to be alone so I was about to find another place when I heard them talking about Kris hyung

"Didn't you hear? Wu Yi Fan just quited! He made an interview and said he was retiring from the fashion industry.  Such a pity he was a great model!" one of the staff members said while showing her phone

"Omo... then how did the Ceo took that? Wasn't he his son?" The other one wondered

"Sunbaes could you please saw me that article?" I walked out of my hideout.

"S-Sure" she gave it to me embarrased

It said Kris hyung was retiring for real from the fashion industry. He wanted to have a peaceful live. I need to talk to the CEO

I run away from the photoshoot and run to the offices.

"Mr Zitao the Ceo is busy right now" The secretary said

"I need to see him. Is important!" I yelled

I scared her

"Tao" I heard the Ceo staring at us

"Sir... Is it true what they say about Kris?" I asked

"Let's talk inside" He sighed

"Do you want some coffe or tea?" Ceo asked

"No sir...please just tell me what's going on" I demanded

He stared at the window for a few seconds.

"Kris reunited all the magazines and tv without my consent. He quited on his own. He called and told me he didn't want to keep living like this. He wanted to have a normal life. I don't agree with what he did but he is my son...I have to respect his decisions" He smiled sadly

"I need to talk to him. Where is he?' I asked

"He didn't tell me. He disappeared  like dust" he sighed

I went back to my apartment and sat on the couch for hours.

Just what am I gonna do with my life?

I should just go back home... after all the only reason why I came here was because of Kris hyung and now that he is gone there's nothing I can do.

I packed all my things and left everything else behind

I knocked my neighbor's house and a tall guy opened

"Hi I'm Tao I'm moving out. Could you give the keys back to the landor? I'm sorry" I bowed

"Yeah sure" he nods
