Mr CEO is my neighbour? || Park Jihoon

21

"He is my son..." Mr Park's words give such an impact on me. I hang up the call without any doubts. 

"What's wrong? Did he break up with you? Can I get you now?" Edward asks me with full of anticipations.

"I'm sorry but I want to have time alone now. I can't talk to you anymore. Please.. Don't follow me. I give you a warn and if you met me again, act like you never see me." I walk away, leaving the dining hall with mixed emotions. 

Is he Mr Park's real son? I mean their age difference isn't that big. Even that boy called him hyung. I need an answer for this, please.

I can't sit still as I keep on wandering around the living room, my mind now filled with the thoughts of Mr Park's real identity. I can't live here if he already married and have a son that already big enough like around my age. I pack up all my belongings into my luggage to run away from this suite. Thank goodness the security guards are drowsy at this time.

I run passed them quietly as I use the stairs instead of elevators. I leave the hotel as fast as I could, trying to take the cabs that just drove passed me. Suddenly, Mr Park calls me from the back, running to get me. I take a few steps away, running away from him. In just a glimpse, a bright light shines directly into my figure. My eyes half-closed due to the light refracted into my eyeballs. I saw Dambi is a few metres away from my distance and what shocking me is she holds a knife in her left hand while the right-hand waves at me with her sinister smile on her face.

She starts to run and points the knife tips towards my body part. I feel someone hugs me tightly from the front. Dambi's waves of laughter can be heard right next to me when it suddenly follows with a cry. I see that the knife on her hand already gone. The person that hugs me winces in pain, holding me from pulling him away.

"Just call 911.. I can bear the pain but I don't want you to see it."

I recognize who's him - Mr Park. My eyes already pool with tears. All my hates on him fade off. I feel guilty to make him hurt without me. I pull him away from hugging my weak body. His back already bled badly. I quickly call his chauffeur to drive him to the hospital. Dambi who is still there seems surprises by her actions. She takes a look around with fear in her eyes. She keeps on wailing for her own faults.

"What I have done?! I hurt my husband-want-to-be.." She cries.

I lend her a hand instead of letting her being alone there. "Would you want to visit Mr Park together?" I ask her.

"You... You don't have any revenge on me for hurting Jihoon? I mean.. He likes you and you also have the same feeling as he has. Why you're so kind to me?" She asks me back.

"I believe there are thousands of girls that like Mr Park the same as how you like. But.. I know you can change to be a better person. Who knows maybe you'll like someone else that's better than Mr Park." I comfort her, taking the taxi at the same time.

"BTW.. May I ask something?" I utter a question.

As she nods, I continue to ask her. ".. Does Jihoon have a son?"

"What the heck are you saying? Jihoon never had an affair with someone before. His family relies on him a lot because of his star quality. He himself will be ashamed if he did something like that in such a young age." Dambi's answers make me confused again.

"But he stated that Edward Lai is his son.."

"Yes? What did you say just now?" Dambi asks me again. I shake my head, saying no. I know that she won't believe me either if I told her about that.

"Miss, we have arrived. You don't have to pay because it must be an emergency, right? Hope that your beloved ones will be better." The taxi driver stops in front of a big personal hospital named Parks Group.

I bring Dambi to where Mr Park got hospitalized at. He is still lying on the patient's bed with vital machine next to him. Dambi already fell on the floor, crying by herself. I comfort her, "It's all have passed already. I know you also are not in the right mind when you're deciding to poke me with that knife."

"Why you're easily forgive me..? Why I can't be as kind as you?" She sobs more.

"I want to shine all people that are by side. They need me and I know I'm also needing them in certain situations."

"Like how you did to me for a few years..."
