"Dad, what are you doing here?" She said, momentarily staggering at the sight of her father standing in front of her.
"Is that really you? Ji Eun? My daughter..." She stepped back as she watched her father walk towards her as he reached his hand out to touch his daughter.
Ji Eun was frozen solid in her spot. Unable to speak what she wanted to, she let out a pained laugh and faced her father with a pathetic smile.
"After all these years, you have the guts to call me your daughter?!" She scoffed, glaring at the man she despised the most. Shakily standing on her feet, she managed to avoid her father who was about to pull her into an embrace.
"Don't you dare touch me! You have no right--"
"Ji Eun!" Eunsoo's voice butted in. "How can you talk to your dad like that?!"
She snapped her head towards her bestfriend. "This is none of your business Eunsoo. Don't you dare--"
"This is your dad Ji Eun. He's been waiting for you for hours and this is how you treat him?" She retorted, now standing beside Ji Eun's father as if she was defending him.
Ji Eun was so out of it. She can't believe everything that happened. Her dad who left her and her mom alone was now back trying to get her back. She was so angry and frustrated that she can't bear to speak to him.
"So you're defending him now?" Her face contorted in anger. "That's it! I'm outta here! I don't want to see your face again!" She shouted, glaring at her father who looked really hurt at what you said.
"Ji Eun!" The both of them shouted but she was already out of the house as she ran away, unsure of where she would go.
Eunsoo patted the man's shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry ahjussi. Ji Eun's just stressed. I'm sure she'll forgive you."
He shook his head and bowed. "I don't think so Eunsoo. She'll continue to be angry at me. And I can never make her forgive me. I've done so much bad things to her...I-I don't think she'll forgive me that easily."

She ran and ran not even caring to where her feet had led her. As she finally decided to stop running and breathed enough air. She breathed heavily as she walked towards one of the park's benches, sitting there for a few minutes.
