My eyes are like waterfall, I was stunned and still crying. I am here in the car because called my driver to take me to the hospital.

Yes, I hated my dad. But I hate him because of what he did on Taehyung and Jinhwan's father. Not because he is my father. I know he is not the only one who's in fault of what happened, but still, what I am thinking is that he didn't have to interfere other families just to give me a better life. I don't want to be spoiled in everything while someone suffers.

I regret everything. I didn't even had my last conversation with dad. Actually my last conversation with him was when I was really mad. I even said that I don't want to see him again.

"Just tell me anything you want to happen, I will grant it immediately, but I know that doesn't mean I will cover all of my sins." -Dad

"Dad, please do me a favor." -I said.

When dad lend me some favor, I said that they should not expel a Taehyung on the university even if the whole school will find out that he is a scholar. It sounds unfair but it's the only way I can think of on how to do good on Taehyung.

"Miss Jennie, we're here to the hospital," the driver reminded me. I immediately go down and went inside. Many staffs and nurses greeted me but I don't have time to greet them back.

Something's on me is saying that I shouldn't keep on going, because I will be hurt, and then the other one is saying that I should go in order to save time and to see my dad immediately.

When I came to the room, I burst out. He was laying, his whole body was covered with blanket. When I lift the blanket, I saw his pale and stressed face which proved that he went through a lot. I was eight years old when my mother died, but I was twenty years old when my father died.

The doctors said that the cause of death was poisoning. Policemen were already investigating about it. It's not like dad would kill himself!

I realized that I was so selfish. I didn't comprehend on what he feels, I only think of what he did bad. I suddenly felt lonely, now that I made space from Taehyung, the more I felt that I was alone.

On dad's funeral, I was out of myself the whole time. I didn't cry, but I'm having a breakdown inside me. A lot of people were sad and said condolence, including Irene and his dad. I know Irene was just forced to come here.

"Miss Jennie, your dad gave this to me the night before we found he was dead," his secretary said, handling me a flash drive. "I think that is his message for you. Just play it on your computer when you get home."

I got teary-eyed. I'll definitely come home and then listen to this. Suddenly, I got a text from... Kai and Taehyung?

I opened Taehyung's message first.

Bestfriend For Life (Tae-tae): Deepest condolences, Jennie. Always here for u😊

I feel like my heart melt. The way he said it, he is genuinely concerned. I didn't even notice that his nickname was "BFF For Life" that I actually placed years ago. Next I opened Kai's message.

Kim Jong-in: I heard 'bout your father, condolence. However, I will not force you to be my girlfriend since we did not do the 'fake wedding'. It's still ur choice😉

I don't really want to be his girlfriend though. Yes, he's my crush but it doesn't mean that I want him to be my boyfriend. I just... Admire him.

Kind of weird, but my feelings for him suddenly disappeared. I feel like my heart is beating for another...








When I come home, I immediately plugged the flash drive on my laptop. It had only one file there which is a video. The time when I saw him on the screen even if he is still not speaking, I already started crying.

"My dearest daughter, Jennie, on the time you will see this I am probably dead. But don't be sad because I did it on purpose."

W-what is he saying?

"First of all, I am sorry of what I have done. On Taehyung and Jinhwan's father. Yes, I want to make you like a princess and live like it, but I did not know that you just want a simple life and you don't want to live a luxurious life while other's are suffering because of us. Please don't blame yourself of what I did. You can be mad at me forever, but don't think that it is your fault." He paused and then stopped a tear from falling.

"Second, I already granted your wish that Taehyung should not be expelled on the university. I really noticed that you and Taehyung have a good relationship as best friends, I'm also friends with his father, it's just that Bae Joo-Hyung (Irene's dad) brainwashed me."

"Third, you may be surprised but yes, I killed myself."

I was so shocked that my tear eventually stopped. What is his reason? Why did he kill himself?

"I am the one who put poison on my drink, it is slow-reacting so I will not hurt myself too much. But... the reason why I did this is because of Bae Joo-Hyung. He had an apprentice that I heard him talking to, I heard that they have a plan to kill me. And then when I'm dead, they will blame you for what they did. So I came up for a plan that I'll be the one who will kill myself instead of them."

What?! So they are planning for me to be the suspect?

"They want to do this because of money. They want to get all of our properties. Joo-hyung is really selfish, and I am warning you already. But now, I still don't have a clue about his apprentice. Always remember that i did this for you in order to save you. Joo-hyung and his apprentice are really powerful and don't ever try to be their opponent. Please keep on fighting my daughter. Fight for what is right and end their evilness. Burn this flash drive after you are done watching."

"I am sorry for being the worst dad in the world... But still, I love you so much my dear daughter. Goodbye."

My tears kept on falling as the video turned all black.

Dad, I will never stop fighting for you until I bring justice.
