My First and Last ➸ Park Jisung

38: Dad

•—～++～—•KIM HAEWON•—～++～—•

"Where exactly are we going?" If I remember correctly, I've asked this sentence five times already. "Just wait will you?" And he had said that five times as well. "I should have made Jisung tag along, then you might have been quiet this whole time" I immediately felt my cheeks heat up and hit his arm. "Fine I'll shut up"

"Good" Then he reached out his arm and called for a cab.

After a few minutes we reached the placed. And... I was never expecting that we'll go here.

"I... know this place" I mumbled, enough for him to hear. "You ready?" He held my hand tightly and gave me a little smile. "I don't know, oppa. What if he still haven't moved on? What if— we will never know if we don't go and see him" He cut my sentence off and messed up my hair using his other hand.

Then he took a deep breathe, and rang the doorbell that was beside the gate. Seconds later, we heard a voice.

"Who is it?" My brother looked at me, I nodded signaling he could continue. "Kim Juwon with his sister, Kim Haewon" Then we turned our heads to the CCTV camera that was placed above and waved. Later on, the gate was opened revealing someone teary-eyed. It was someone who took care at us whenever our parents weren't around, and treated us like her own children. "Hi ajumma" She quickly hugged us as we feel her tears on our shoulder.

～～～～～

"Its good to know that you were safe" I smiled. "We're not really sure about that, ajumma" Brother answered, then silence filled us. "Ah, where's... Dad by the way?" He asked changing the topic. "He's at work but I'm sure he'll be home soon" She answered after glancing at her watch. "That's good to know"

We continued talking, about random things, but more especially about what happened to me and oppa in the past few years.

"Mr. Kim is here!" Nervousness climbed onto me immediately as soon as I heard that. Juwon oppa looked at me and mouthed, "its going to be okay" and gave me that smile that always assures us. "I'm sure he'll be surprised" Ajumma smiled as well and went to the front door.

"Welcome back Mr. Kim, you have special visitors" We were a little far away from the front door but it was enough for the both of us to hear their voices. "Who? I didn't invite anyone today" I fidgeted with my hands, its been two years since I heard his voice. Oppa held my hand again and I can feel he's shaking too. Well, he hasn't seen his for five years so.

"You'll be really surprised" Their footsteps were getting nearer, while me and my brother are calming ourselves. "Who—"

Our backs was facing him, so we slowly stood up and turned to his direction. I could see how shocked he was to see us, he was also getting teary-eyed.

"I-Its been a long time... D-Dad"

～～～～～

Silence filled us again, and the atmosphere was awkward, really awkward. "So... h-how are the b-both of you?" He asked, his eyes fixed on the floor. I nudged oppa who's beside me and he quickly got what I meant. "W-We're fine" I saw him smiled a little but he's still not looking at us. "T-That's good to hear" And that ended our conversation.

"Found this when I was cleaning" Ajumma came holding something very familiar. "Its our video games" Oppa whispered. Playing video games had always been our way of bonding. Dad finally looked at us. "I missed the both of you!" He finally stood and hugged us very tight.

～～～～～

"I-I used my credit card to pay the apartment" Dad nodded. "Do you still have money?" He asked, if I remember correctly, I still do. "Y-Yeah, don't worry. The rent wasn't expensive"

"What about you, Juwon-ah?" Brother flinched and scratched his head shyly, "W-Well, I... I'm staying at Incheon" I looked at him surprised. "Mom and I used to stay at Gwangju, but they still found us there" I saw oppa was about to cry so I gave my handkerchief to him.

"D-Don't worry, they'll stop bothering us soon"

"How?" I asked quickly which might have shocked the both of them. "All we have to do is wait" He gave us that reassuring smile which calmed me for a bit.

"So, lets play?" He pointed at the video games and made oppa and I smile at him as well.
