Jin? Shit!
Taehyung immediately dashed out the door while covering the lower part of his face with one hand.
"Wait!" Jin followed him out & tried to grab ahold of his arm.
"Sajangnim, I was going to tell you that Kim Yebin's guardian was here already." The staff lady blocked Taehyung's way, making him unable to escape.
"I know. Now get out of my way." Taehyung said through gritted teeth. The staff instantly scurried away.
"Sajangnim?" Jin finally caught up to him, "So you're the owner of this school? And.. the apartment building too? Woah daebak.."
"I don't know what you're talking about. I need to go now, please move." Taehyung said while still averting his gaze.
"Do you want to talk in a civilized way or do you prefer me calling Y/n right now & telling her about this whole situation?" Jin threatened by pulling out his phone from his jeans pocket.
"Fine, but let's talk outside." Taehyung heaved a deep sigh & signaled Jin to follow him out.
He found a quiet corner & scanned the area, making sure that no one was there.
"What do you want to know?" Taehyung asked Jin once he felt that it was safe to talk.
"How did you find her?"
"Her? Who?" Taehyung lowered his head, still trying to pretend that he was clueless.
"Yebin of course! Your daughter." Jin blurted impatiently.
Taehyung's eyes shot up to meet Jin's in an instant. It was like a lightning had stroke him. His body was numb from head to toe, he couldn't even utter a single word.
Yebin is my daughter?
"Fuck. You didn't know? Shit.. I thought- Y/n will kill me." Jin cursed at himself.
"Y- Yebin is my child? My & Y/n's child?" Taehyung finally managed to move his tongue.
"Just pretend that you didn't hear it." Jin turned sideways & averted Taehyung's gaze.
"Answer me!" Taehyung furiously screamed at Jin.
"Ughh.. shit.. ok ok. Yes, Yebin is your daughter, but please don't tell Y/n that I told you that." Jin answered as he scratched his head in frustration.
"What the- How come I never knew about this? Was she pregnant when she left me? Why would she hide her pregnancy from me? Did she raise her on her own all this time?" Taehyung couldn't contain his emotion anymore, so many questions that he needed answered right now.
"Well, I don't know. You should ask yourself why she chose to leave you even though she was pregnant with your child." Jin crossed his arms & sarcastically said.
Taehyung's mind wandered back to that awful day four years ago. Kang jibsa's passing, you asking him for a divorce, everything had happened because his selfishness got the best of him. Involuntarily, tears rolled down his eyes.
"She hasn't forgiven me, has she?" Taehyung asked without looking up.
"I don't think so."
"It was all my fault. I-" He stared at the floor & muttered to himself.
"Kim Yebin's guardian? The performance is done & she's looking for you." The teacher suddenly called out to Jin.
Noticing someone was there, Taehyung quickly wiped away his tears with the back of his hand.
"Go. She needs you." Taehyung urged Jin.
Jin was dashing towards the building when he abruptly stopped & rushed back to Taehyung.
"This meeting has never happened & we have never talked to each other. My advice to you is go as far away as you can & stop interfering with their lives. You might feel the strong urge to tell Yebin that you're his father but don't do that if you don't want Y/n to hate you even more or even worse disappear again to somewhere you could never find them."
"I- I understand." Taehyung nodded.
"Good. I hope I won't see you again Kim Taehyung ssi." Jin said before he ran to find Yebin.
Taehyung's hands hung limply beside his body. His brain was still trying to process the shocking information that Jin told him.
Yebin is mine. She's mine.
He erupted into a manic laugh. His emotions were in a chaos. On one hand, he was ecstatic that Yebin was his. On the other hand, he couldn't be with her because of his own stupidity.
What should I do? Should I just quietly take care of them without exposing myself? Or should I just let them be? Or.. maybe.. should I talk to Y/n?Jin's POV
"Ajusshi, where did you go? Did you see my performance?" Yebin immediately rushed into Jin's arms when he walked through the door.
"Yes I did! And my Yebinie did an awesome job! Give me a high five." Jin knelt down & raised his palm, which Yebin slapped right away.
"Yeay! Do I get a present then?" She grinned.
"Sure! What do you want? Doll? Katsu? Teddy bear?"
"Anything, just not teddy bear. I already have one that I loveee so much. Ah ajusshi, did you see an ajusshi about your age? He usually wears suits & is veryyyy handsome." Yebin asked.
Jin's heart stopped for a split second.
She must be talking about Taehyung. Does she know that he's her father? Was he the one she referred to when she said she'd met her father the other day?
"No, I don't think so." Jin flat out denied.
"Really? I was sure that I saw him when I was on stage." Looking at her apparent disappointment, Jin quickly devised a way to divert her attention.
"Yebin ah, ajusshi is hurt." He clutched his chest & pretended to be in pain.
"Why? Why? Is it painful here?" Yebin patted his chest worriedly.
"Yes," he nodded, "I thought I was the most handsome ajusshi to Yebin, but apparently I wasn't."
"Ajusshiii! I thought you were really hurt." Yebin whined & gently punched his arm.
"Hehe, mian (sorry) Yebin ah. Let's go to the restaurant to meet eomma. She said she'd prepared something special for you because I told her that you did a great job on the performance." Jin stood up & grabbed Yebin's hand.
"She's working very hard, isn't she? If only appa were here to take care of us, she wouldn't have to work so hard all the time." She said it in such a small voice that Jin almost missed it.
"What did you say Yebin ah?" He acted like he didn't hear it.
"Nothing. Ajusshi, let's go. I'm starving." She looked up at him & smiled.
Guilt crept into Jin's mind seeing her innocent trustful face. Initially, he wanted Y/n to tell Yebin the truth about Taehyung, so that Yebin could get to know her father. However, now that he'd met Taehyung face to face, he felt like he could lose both you & Yebin to Taehyung. Thus, he cruelly told Taehyung to never reveal himself.
I'm sorry Yebin ah, I can't let you reconcile with your father. Forgive me for being selfish just this once.
