Café Pit-a-Pat - Season 1 (COMPLETE)

Chapter 13

"I'm sorry."

Quite honestly, Parn wasn't the type of person who would easily give in and admit her faults. And she especially held no real regrets for what she had done on the day that she met her grandson's boyfriend. Because her intentions were completely pure. She was only trying to look out for her precious grandson, who she knew was way too softhearted for his own good.

At the same time, though, mainly to her disadvantage, Parn had a gigantic soft spot for that same grandson. Who was currently sitting in front of her and shooting her a very sulky I-can't-believe-what-you-did-and-am-very-disappointed-in-you look. So, the first step of her grand plan for the day was to calmly simmer down Kimmon's anger.

"I'm not the one who you should apologize to," Kimmon returned with a stubborn frown.

Parn sighed. "Then can you tell Copter that I'm very sorry? Unless you'll let me meet him again and apologize to him directly?"

"I'll relay your apology to him," Kimmon said after a moment of deliberation.

Despite his defensive response, Kimmon's face visibly relaxed at his grandmother's apology. Her eyes carefully assessing Kimmon's better mood, Parn proceeded to launch her next attack.

"Okay. But, Kim, don't take this the wrong way. I'm truly sorry if my actions hurt Copter in any way, but I was only trying to figure out if he really loves you. And based on what I saw, I'm not sure that he does. Before you came in that day, he was clearly thinking about taking the money in exchange for breaking up with you."

"He wouldn't have taken the money," Kimmon denied, his lips tightly pursed. "And why does that even matter? It was wrong for you to bait him in the first place by taking advantage of his current financial circumstances."

"Which I apologize for. But still! I'm not sure that he's completely committed to you," Parn pressed. Snatching the envelope that was laying on the table in between them, she promptly handed it over to Kimmon. "And look at this."

With arched eyebrows, Kimmon took out the several photographs that were inside the envelope. Upon seeing the various shots of two very familiar faces, he glared at Parn in disbelief.

"You're stalking him as well?!"

"Just investigating," Parn innocently shrugged, denying Kimmon's accusation. "But that's not what's important. You see the handsome man next to Copter? Your boyfriend is currently living with him."

Kimmon stiffly glanced down at the photographs before meeting her eyes again. "So what? I already know about this. They're just friends."

Parn scoffed. "Friends?! Are you blind?! Or just plain stupid?! Look at these photos and tell me again that they're just friends."

This was another reason why Parn was so worried about her grandson. Although Kimmon was quick-witted most of the time, he could also prove to be extremely dense. Especially when it came to his own personal matters. Turning her eyes to the images held in Kimmon's hands, Parn shook her head in exasperation. Seriously, anyone with a sound mind could tell that something romantic was going on between the two subjects in the photographs.
