• Because I Like You • (Woohyun Fanfic)

•Chapter Twenty-Three•

•Woohyun's POV
I shut the door behind me as I slipped off my trainers in the entrance of my house. "I'm back!" I shouted loud enough for my dad to hear in the kitchen.

"Ah. Where were you?" Dad warmly asked as he swiftly tossed the wok which had fried rice inside. Where was I? I took Ailey ho-..no I didn't. "I was in the library after school." Lie.

"You must be hungry, get sat down." Dad rubbed his hands together as he laid out all of the dishes down onto the dining table. His cooking was always the best, sometimes I really thought that he could be a chef.

"Wow! I will eat well, dad!" I licked my lips as I shuffled to the edge of my seat with anticipation. Once I took a mouthful of his heavenly food, the corners of my mouth stretched higher and higher.

"Woohyun, you eat the same as you did when you was five, this attracts girls?!" Dad chuckled with disbelief.

"Dad! Of course it does. I'm a flower boy, what do you expect?" I greasily replied as he chortled.

"Oh yeah! I wanted to show you something. I need your opinion." Dad rushed to grab something from his coat pocket. What was it?

"What do you think?" Dad gleamed with joy as he slowly opened the navy felt rounded box. It's a ring. A supposedly engagement ring. My eyes widened at the sight of it as his smiled beamed up, "You like it?" He asked with excitement. This can't be happening.

"Dad, aren't you going too fast in your relationship? I mean..its not been long since you revealed that you was in a relationship, and now you're thinking of marriage?!" I questioned him with worry.

"No. Not at all. Son, we have known each other since we were 18. It was love at first sight for us two despite our families disagreement to our relationship. We really did love each other and still do today. We finally reunited with each other 10 months before we wanted to tell our children because it was never the right time."

"What about mum?! How can you love two people at the same time..?" I replied. How can he say those words so easily?

"Son, I did sincerely love your mother. But as time flies by, you begin to miss the things you have forgotten in the past. Woohyun, you will understand." He did a fatherly smile as he slid the ring box to the side of the table. "You and Ailey will be siblings, treat her nice. She's a lovely girl."

Siblings. Isn't that obvious? Why have we been so delusional. Of course it was going to happen one day..this marriage. Before anything else happens between Ailey and I, I should quickly 'rip the band aid' and get it over and done with. You know. Our relationship.
