The mockingbird (Akashi Seijuro love story)

Korea

Trischia's POV 

I'd spent a lot of time with my father in the afternoons the past days, and I greatly enjoyed it for the most part. He was a lively and positive man, I was surprised when it turned out we laughed at all the same things. We'd walked around Kyoto for a bit, it was a nice relief from all the excessive luxury at the mansion. Simon was more than a little excited to discover and listen to my musical talent and we spent a lot of time in the studio next to my room. We'd talked more seriously about me going to visit them in Korea, and decided that it would be best to do it during summer vacation. I was looking forward to it a lot. I'd gotten to say hi to Haru and his mother via facetime, they both seemed very nice. 

However, I'd ran into one aggravating speedbump along the way, and it took the form of a massive tempertantrum called Akashi Seijuro... I had never expected his reaction for a million years, but apparently he couldn't be more against the thought of me going to Korea. I'd been too stunned to even respond at his initial and complete regection of the idea. The tension as the two met for the first time wasn't just awkward, it felt like there was a cold war going on, and Seijuro was the one waging it. I couldn't wrap my head around what had gotten into him. But one thing was for sure. He was not getting his way with this. 

Seijuro slammed the door shut behind us as we arrived back at his room after eating dinner with my dad and I turned to look at him. He was far from pleased. I crossed my arms over my chest and stared at him sternly. 

"You can't stop me from going" He stopped by the door and took a deep breath in while pushing a hand through his hair. 

"Yes. I can." I shook my head stubbornly. 

"No. I want to go. I want to get to know him and his family better. It's just for three weeks. I'll be fine" Seijuro shook his head, I could tell his temper was already rising but I didn't falter in my decision. 

"You can't go when you just met him! You don't know anything about him!" I gritted my teeth annoyed. 

"He's my father. And the whole point in going is to get to know him better? Why can't you see that this is a good thing for me?" Seijuro stepped towards me waving with his hand slightly. 

"Can't you see that I'm doing this to protect you?" I shook my head while scoffing at him. 

"Protect me from what? He's my dad. He won't do anything" He breathed heavily as if he refrained from saying something and I raised an eyebrow at him. 

"What?" I snapped and he made a face. 

"He won't do anything... That's almost the exact thing you told me for months before... You can't go. I won't allow it" I wanted to explode at him for even suggesting that Simon was anything like Tora. But if I lost my head right now I knew I'd lost the argument. 

"Luckily for me it's not really up to you then, is it?" His eyes widened slightly as he realized who I was aiming for. 

"NO. You're not going to him with this. Absolutely not" I smirked at him confidently. 

"You're right. I won't go, since my dad already did. Your father already agreed to it- as long as I want it for myself he doesn't see a reason for me to not go" Seijuro paled as I said it, but then grew angry. 

"I still won't let you" I shook my head at him. 

"Why?! Why are you so against this?!" His eyes flared. 

"What if he doesn't let you come back?! What if he decides that it's better for you to stay with him?!" I frowned at him deeply. So that was what this was all about. I sighed heavily, calming down a bit.
