[Jeongcheol] donut shop

donut shop chapter 31

Jeonghan's POV

"It's my dad... he's trying to do something that I really don't want him to do... at first I didn't care much about it, but then I found out that there was something special", the sentence repeated through my mind after thinking about it so much. I realized that I couldn't just shut him out even if it was the best thing to do, I needed to hear Seungcheol because it was the right thing to do, even if it would hurt, I had to. My mind was much clearer, I love Seungcheol and that was always how it was, if he really did love me and Chan, then everything I heard Joo Min say was a lie. I had hope, hope that was so pathetic, but I couldn't give up, because I knew I love Seungcheol no matter who or what he was, especially when Chan was happy, when I was happy... There was just something there that tempted me to him... Cherri might have given that man a second chance and turned out for the worse, but maybe, just maybe I could give Seungcheol a second chance and it would be different- I sound so naive right now, but I can't erase the fact that I genuinely love him.

And now here we were sitting across from each other in the shop, "I just don't want you to misunderstand anything... I'm sorry my dad threatened you to move out- "

"He didn't. Well, he did a long time ago"

"Then what did he say to you?"

"Nothing"

"Then- "

"It's not what he said, but what he did and i-it's not just about him trying to move us out. Seungcheol... your dad was having an affair", and just like that the conversation went on for hours, Seungcheol really didn't have a clue about everything his father did. All this time I thought he was just some ordinary guy that happened to cross paths with mine, but he was the son of the man that ruined my adoptive mother- she was strong enough to bounce back, but it shouldn't have happened to her otherwise. When I found out he was the son of Joo Min, I thought he knew and that he was just doing what his father said, but he really didn't like his dad and now it made sense as to why he never brought him up.

Apparently after his mother disappeared, his dad pretended as if she was never even a part of their lives and it hurt him badly. Apart from that he was just left with a note that didn't even make sense, his dad never spilled anything about his mother no matter how much he begged. "I-I never knew", I kinda felt bad breaking these things to him, but he deserved to know, even if it'd hurt... "Wait... then you're- no no no... you can't be...", Seungcheol panicked, his eyes widened, he got up vigorously heading for the door. I quickly got up, pulling his arm, "where are you going?", I half-heartedly yelled, from Seungcheol's aura I could tell he was upset, he was really angry, just like last time, but there was venom in his intentions.

"To that fucking bastard", he tried not yelling, but surges of angry pants came bubbling up his surface, I tightened my grip on his arm, "and what? Yell at him? Hurt him like he hurt you!", to be honest, I wouldn't have stopped him, he had the right in my opinion. He looked at me with eyes that read confusion, anger- things that came from the fire that would burn someone's soul, "like I don't have the right! Jeonghan he hid these things from me, my mother left because of that bastard- ", he was highly angered and like I said, he had the right, but he was reckless when he was angry, he didn't think things through when he was clouded with such heat.

"From all people, I wouldn't be stopping you Seungcheol, by all means, go right ahead but you need to calm down. You're gonna do something stupid without even knowing it- what the hell am I supposed to do when you end up in jail cuz you couldn't control yourself from beating the living shit out of your god damn father!", I wasn't yelling because I was angry- well maybe just a little, but not at Cheol, he just really needed to calm down. I pulled him into a hug, something to at least calm him down, I felt his arms wrap around mine slowly, "all that Han... all that shit he's been hiding from me... but I just can't help but be mad- he made me fall in love with someone I can't be with- ". My eyebrows scrunched up, "what?", I looked at him confused, "that man was having an affair with your mom- ", he emphasized the 'your' part until I interrupted him.

"No, Seungcheol, you got it all wrong, I'm not your brother- we are not brothers", his eyes widened as he looked at me, "what...?". I couldn't read his face, but after a pause of silence, Seungcheol picked me up into a hug, swinging me around. "Cheol!", the older was crying happy tears, "you don't understand how happy I am to hear that", there he went again. Just like last time- one minute he was angry, sad, next minute he was crying joy. My heart ached because from all the bull shit his dad was hiding, he found the need to burst into happiness after knowing that I wasn't his brother, that I could be with him without absolutely no boundaries. He really did love me and that thought made me smile for the first time in a few days, it made me laugh as I tightened my grip on Seungcheol, nuzzling my face into his welcoming shoulder.

Once we settled down again, I looked him straight in the eyes, he needed to know all of it, I couldn't hide anything from him, I didn't want to. "You know when I told you, you didn't know me and that I only allowed you to know the things I let you know?", he nodded slightly dazed by the sudden upbringing.

"Cherri's not my actual mother. I'm not her biological son Seungcheol, Chan is"
