Mixtape : On Track

Hyunjin's POV


I looked at the couple in front of me.



"Your phone is vibrating" the woman said



I nodded and quickly looked at it. It's Zatie.

Zatie calling...


[Are you crazy? Why would you tell them to come over when you aren't here?]


"They are already there? Anyway, you can't stay there alone so I told them to come over"

[You know I'm kinda uncomfortable around them]


"You said you are close to them"

[Not that close]


"Alright, just enjoy with them for now and be comfortable. I am currently having a meeting. Bye" I said and quickly ended the call



I turned off my phone and looked at the couple again.



"So, you are interested in our company, you want to apply as the secretary?" the man asked



"We have a lot of requ-" the woman



"Mr. Donghyun Yoon and Mrs. Yoon Eunkyung, it's nice seeing you again" 



They both looked so shock as they looked at me. 



"You know us?" Mrs. Yoon asked



I nodded "How are you two doing?"



"We met each other before, right?" Mr. Yoon



"What- How did you-" Mrs. Yoon



"I searched about you two. You have three sons. Don't you have a daughter?"



"H-How did you k-know?" Mrs. Yoon



"D-Do we know y-you?" Mr. Yoon



"Yes, you know me. We already met before but it's a long time ago. I guess I am around 6 years old and Zatie is 5 years old" 



"Zatie? You know her?" Mr. Yoon asked



"Of course, we grew up together. We are in the same orphanage as our parents abandoned us. Those parents kept adopting us and will abandon us after a few months but now we are in right place. How can I forget you two? You are always at the orphanage and will pay the people there to take care of Zatie. You even paid them so they won't mention Zatie about her parents. Am I right?" 



"W-Where is Zatie?" Mrs. Yoon



"She's at home, I told her to rest. She needs it. You don't have to worry. She's doing so well. She wants to be a detective, we are taking good care of her" 



"H-How is my daughter?" Mrs. Yoon asked



"She's doing great. She's really brave, friendly and a jolly person. Everyone loves to be around her"



Mrs. Yoon smiled as she heard those words from me.



"Can I ask something?" 



Mr. Yoon nodded "S-Sure" 



"Why did you told me not to leave her, when you two even left her?"



"H-Huh?" Mr. Yoon asked



"I think I asked wrong. Let me ask again"



They both stayed quiet.



"Why did you abandoned her and kept her as a secret?"



Mrs. Yoon looked at me "We didn't-"



"Yes, you did"



"We didn't abandoned her. We hired people to take care of her" Mr. Yoon



"And you think that's enough? You think leaving her in orphanage as soon as your wife gave birth to her is fine? Do you think paying those people to keep her as a secret is fine? Let me guess. You did that because of the tradition? The Yoon family should only have sons and will get rid of the daughter. Am I right? That's your way to keep the family name pass to generation"



Mrs. Yoon started crying.



"Does her brothers know?"



"N-No, they doesn't k-know" Mr. Yoon answered as he stuttered



"Zatie always wanted to have brothers, true siblings. Let me tell one important thing, Zatie is looking for you and your damn secretary kept telling her the wrong place. She still hopes to see you two. Actually, that guy told her that you two are in another country, she always earn money and will end up not going. Your secretary said that it's your order. Is it true?"



Mr. Yoon nodded as he cried.



"Damn this life. No wonder she gave up when she already saw you two" 



"S-She what?" Mrs. Yoon



"She already saw you two, I don' know when. I don't know what happened but she said that's enough. She said she's now okay after she saw you two"



Mr. Yoon sighed "When can we meet her?"



"Why?"



"We want to apologize-" Mrs. Yoon



"Why now? Why didn't you do that back then?"



"We were hoping-" Mr. Yoon



Three guys appeared and sat with us. The couple quickly wiped their tears and fixed themselves.



"Mom, are we going to-" the guy in the same age as me



"So, they are her brothers" 



The three looked at me. 



"Who is he?" the eldest asked 



Mr. and Mrs. Yoon looked down.



"Am I going to tell them?"



"He is Hwang Hyunjin, we know him for a long time and we accidentally met him today" Mr. Yoon said



I smirked and calmed myself "I'm not here to ruin your family gathering. I am here to ask her hand. We are not originally siblings, to me, we are best friends who grew up in one house. I want to ask her biological parents to let me court her the day she finished studying"



"Y-Yes" Mrs. Yoon answered trying to avoid my gaze



"Thank you" I stood up and was about to leave but I looked at the couple "If ever you want to meet her and finally introduce her to the world as your daughter. I will gladly help you. I am mad at you two but if it will make her happy. I will really help you"



"What are you saying?" the middle son asked



"What do you think? Why don't you ask your parents? I'm sure they will explain it by details. Don't be shock once you hear it" 



I quickly left the restaurant. You did great, Hyunjin. I felt my phone vibrating, I quickly opened it.



Zatie calling...


"What?"


[They are waiting for you]


"Hmmm, I know. I'm on my way"


[Alright, don't forget the cake]

"Zatie"


[Huh?]

"Nothing, just wait for me"
