Five Years Ago [English Ver.]

Three

Jiyong entered his parent's house, he saw his mother in the garden with his father. His smile suddenly appeared with pain and envy in his heart. Can he experience something like that in the future?

"Mom" both of his parents glanced at Jiyong, their smile just appeared when they saw their only son suddenly in their house.

"When did you come?" Mrs. Kwon asked before she hugged her son's body, "Have you been eat?" his mom asked. Jiyong only nodded in response. He hugged his mother's body tightly, conveying his feelings to his mother.

"I know how you feel, son" Mrs. Kwon rubs Jiyong's back, and the man can only sigh deeply. He no longer cried like 5 years ago. No longer blaming himself like 5 years ago. But the feeling of pain and loss is still there in his heart.

"Come here, buddy" Jiyong smiled at the words his father had said, the old man still considered him as a child. "Your father missed you so much," Mr. Kwon said and hugs his son's well-built body.

"I miss you too, Dad" Jiyong muttered on the shoulders of his father, Mr. Kwon nodded while patting Jiyong on the back.

"I will prepare tea for the three of us. We haven't been drinking tea together for a long time, have we?" Mrs. Kwon asked with his warm smile. Jiyong nodded with his hand still on his father's waist.

"I miss you," Jiyong said when they were in the gazebo next to Mrs. Kwon's flower garden. The woman smiled when she heard the reason for their only child. "I met Kiko and stayed with her while I was in Japan," the man said before sipping his mother's herbal tea.

Mrs. Kwon smiled at the words of her son, not that he wanted the child to immediately forget his wife, he just didn't want his child to continue to suffer and lose. "And I left her" the man murmured, making the middle-aged woman who became his mother glanced at her husband.

"Did something happen?" Mrs. Kwon asked, Jiyong shook his head, "Kiko is a good girl, and she also know your wife? Your wife will agree- "

"I just feel this won't work well. I keep remembering JinAh even when we make love" Jiyong said choked, his hands clenched tightly," I don't want to make her feel bad, I still love JinAh and will always love her. I won't get married for the second time. I love her and I don't want to change- "

"And Jinah won't like that idea Jiyong, she knows what's best for you. She knows that you are not forgetting. Jinah will remain in your heart, but you need someone to take care of you in the future" Kwon Hyeji said, Jiyong glanced at his father, the older man nodded.

"In my age like this, I really need someone who can take good care of me," Jinu said. "You can't continue like this, Jinah will feel very guilty for leaving you and it won't make it better" Jinu said.

Jiyong bowed his head, "Will you meet my friend's daughter? Goo Hara. She is Seungri's cousin" Hyeji said, Jiyong glanced at him before shaking his head," You have to forget Jiyong, you should move on" the woman said softly.

"I still have to take care of the company. God seems to know that a man like me won't be able to take care of a family" Jiyong said, staring at the empty space in front of him. "He took everything from me because He knew that I wouldn't be able to look after them. I will be a man who only thinks of work"

"Where did you get that gene Jiyong? You have a good example of your father who can divide his time with family- "

"But I don't! Before Jinah died in that accident, before we had children, I always left her to work. I always make it the second choice!"He said in a high tone. Mad to himself to being a workaholik.

"And you're sorry?" Hyeji asked, Jiyong glanced at his mother and took a deep breath. He don't know what has possessed him. This is really not him.

"You are regret Jiyong, and you learn from it. You can learn from your experience like you learned from your experience when you first rode a bicycle, like your first ride, like your first time arched and like your first time encountered a problem in your father's company" the older woman said softly.

"I'm sure you can be better than me Jiyong" Jinu said, the man glanced at his father. "We will give you time until the end of this week. This weekend we have an invitation from Mrs. Lee's wedding party, we hope we can meet Hara there and you can start your way with her "

Jiyong glanced at him then nodded. Too tired to argue. After finishing his tea, Jiyong immediately returned to his home, he need to prepare to start his day at the office tomorrow morning. For check at his headquarters in Seoul, that he abandoned before.

She finished all her tasks. And she is quite thankful because her deadline was tomorrow noon. But this afternoon she has finished doing everything well. She just need to waiting for her next assignment and what she was doing now was helping the other duties who need her help.

"Good afternoon Miss Park" Dara looked up to meet the assistant manager, "You were called by manager Lee" she nodded her head in response and left her place immediately.

"You call me sir?" Dara asked after she knocked on the door.

"Ah yes, come in" Sandara entered the Manager's room, "Tomorrow morning the President Director will come here. Tell all your division members to prepare what we have talked about the other day" Sandara nodded her head understanding. "Prepare for your presentation" Mr. Lee said who answered with a nod too.

"This is your chance to rise to get the promotion, Sandara. If the chief director likes you, I'm sure you will get the best place in this company," Mr. Lee said smile warmly. Dara can't feel more gratefull for this situation, her manager was really good to her. And he was like her real father who really take good care of her.

Not just her, manager Lee was really good to everyone. He is like a father figure in that division. At least for the accounting division, he is their father.

Sandara smiled at the praise from her boss. She was also quite grateful because her manager trust her enough. "Thank you Mr. Lee "

One more step and she can make her family stable. There was nothing she expected for her life at this time. Only one is having a permanent job so she can support her family. If she has this position, she can rent a baby sitter for her daughter.
