"W-Why are you here?"

The girl now glared at the man standing before her. He looked like he's living a nice life. He looked well taken care of and it made her resent him more. The once suppressed feelings are now resurfacing, she clenched her fists until her knuckles turn white as the man softly gazed at her. What else could he want?

"Irina." He spoke her name as if he has done her no wrong, but his words were embedded in her heart, his words when he left her with his child to take care of alone.

She stepped back, about to slam the door in his face as the anger kept on building up, enough to make her chest explode but the man was quick to stop her actions. He placed himself between the open door, making it unable for her to shut.

"Why did you come back, Daehyun?" She asked the man, his name tasted like poison that burned her throat. "You should've stayed gone. Forever."

Daehyun forced himself in and followed the retreating girl, leaving the front door ajar. She picked up her phone, calling for help when he took it out of her grasp. "Listen, Irina, I came here for my son. Not for you."

"Your son?" Irina's pained expression showed on her face and he knew just why. She jabbed her index finger at his chest repeatedly, "You were never a part of his life! How dare you call him your son? You weren't man enough stay. Now you're saying you want to be his father all of a sudden? Grow a pair, Daehyun and go fuck yourself!"

He grabbed at her arm and yanked her back when she was about to lock herself in her room, "I was scared! I was a kid back then. I was uncertain of a lot of things."

"And you think I wasn't? Fuck you Daehyun!" Irina snapped back, ignoring the pain from his tight grip on her wrist. "You fucking think I wasn't scared for myself? For the baby inside my womb that time? You don't know anything, Daehyun. You don't know! All you ever cared about is spreading my legs open and using me like a tool after I believed and trusted you.. then you left and had a family with another woman. How fucking responsible of you.."

"I know I was wrong." He lowered his gaze as she yanked her arm back, "It wasn't easy for me being in a family that have their eyes on me every second. You wouldn't understand that.."

"Right.. I wouldn't because the one who was supposed to build my family with me left us to starve on the street." She said before turning his back to the man. "Just leave and don't ever come back."

"I want to see him." He spoke, making you frozen on your spot. "No matter what you say, he is my son too. He has a better future with me. I can provide that for him now so let me see him."

It was too painful for her to speak even though she wanted to scream at him and curse at him. She still couldn't move when he asked to see her son. It was impossible to see him now. She wanted to tell him but all she could do is remember the night she lost him.

"Where is he?" Daehyun moved past her, searching her house, "Irina, where is he!"

The girl broke down in sobs as the man rummaged her apartment. He opened door after door, searched the bathroom, her bedroom, looked in her closet but he never found the boy. She lived alone. There were no traces of their son ever living in her apartment. No pictures, no clothes, nothing that belonged to him. Daehyun returned to Irina, staring down at her suddenly weak figure on the floor. She stared blankly into space.

"Where is he? Is he at school or something?" Daehyun asked, trying to stay calm but failing to do so, "WHERE IS HE!"
