As I entered the house, I was welcomed with a cake.

"Happy Birthday" they shouted in unision.

After cutting the cake, everyone settled down to chat.

I overheard my mom and Aunty Tuan talking.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

Aunty Tuan nudged mom. They were acting suspicious.

"Well, honey" my mom started. He motioned me to sit beside her. I did so.

She cleared her throat.

"Your father and I..." she eyed her husband for a moment. "decided to move back to the US. Permanently"

I was shocked. I looked around the room but no one looked surprised like me.

"You all knew?" I shouted.

They were all silent. Mark approached me.

"Did you knew?''

He was hesitant for a moment, but he nodded.

"I tried to tell you..."

"Liar!" I shouted at him, trying to break free from his grip.

"You never even consider how I felt. You only think about yourself!" I keep shouting.

"I hate you all!"

Mark loosened his grip. I shove him back, and ran out of the house.

I dont even know where I was going. I just keep walking on walking until I reached the beach.

Memories kept flooding in my mind. My breath hitched, my chest becomes heavy, making it hard to breath. It was really suffocating.

I stayed there for I dont know how long. I keep getting back down memory lane, it sometimes makes me smile, and sometimes it made me cry.

"The beach isnt that beautiful at night"

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I could ask you the same thing. What are you doing here?"

"You must already know. Why ask?"

"You're right" he said sitting beside me.

"Do you, want to talk about it?"

I huffed.

"Why would you want to know?"

"Because I want to know everything about you"

His straighforward answer made me nervous.

"I'm propably moving back to US"

He was silent.

"Does that mean we wont be seeing each other anymore?"

I nodded.

"I really miss my father" I sighed heavily.

He looked at me confused.

"I mean my real father" I explained.

"Then Mr. Song..."

"Yeah, he is my father. Legally"

"What happened?"

"Its okay if you dont want to talk about it"

"No, its fine. I dont mind telling you"

"My father, died two year ago. After one year of my father's death, my mother remaried his childhood friend. Its not that I was against her marriage, I was just, it was still too early. But she didnt even discussed it with me. She just goes through it. Like, she doesnt care about me, or my dad"

I stopped to clear my throart, my voice was on the verge of cracking.

"Then, they decided to move to Korea without asking me. And when I finally feel like home, they decided to move back. Again, without consulting me at all. They could have at least told be about it before...." I couldnt continue. Even though I still wanted to say many thing, my voice wont come out.

He hugged me tightly.

"There, there" he patted my back.

After I calmed down, I came back to my senses.

"Sorry for bursting out like that" I apologized.

"Its okay. Everyone goes through hard times. But you shouldnt bottled up all your feelings. You should let them out. Its also bad for your health" he brushed my nose with this thumb.

"Dont worry. Talk to your parent. If you still want to stay here, tell them. Tell them that you're happy here. Everything's gonna be fine. I will be by yout side" he carresed my cheeks gently.

"Understand?"

I nodded.

He then leaned closer to me, our lips only centimeters away. I could feel his warm breath.

"I wont let you go" he whispered and planted a soft kissed on my lips.
