LASTLY, MY FIRST

Part 22 | Less

LISA

I was the one who brought Jennie and Elijah to the airport the next day.

It was a sad farewell because Eli wants me to go with them. I just promised him to visit them in Seoul soon. Luckily, Jennie gave me her number when I asked for it and she's okay when I asked if I can talk to Eli always.

If I am not just infertile, I would really belive he is mine. Actually, when I saw his photo during his christening, I already felt he is mine.

After a while, I measaged Jennie and she replied immediately. We did a video call when they settled on the boarding area already so I can check on Eli.

"Jen, you guys are in the boarding area already?" I asked.

"Yeah. Here's Elijah." She gave the phone to Eli and the young boy faced me while crying silently.

"Hey, love, do not cry. Dada will visit you, okay? You have to be strong. You have to protect your Mom while I'm not yet around, okay?" I told him.

"Dada, come soon. Please?" Elijah just made my tear fall. God. Can he be my son? I actually do not care if he is mine or not. He is my son now.

"I will, son. I will visit you in Seoul. I promise. I love you okay?" I told him. Aaaah. This kid. He makes my heart melt just like his mother.

Eli gave the phone to Jennie.

"Jen, you take care. Update me when you arrive in Seoul. Okay?" I talked to Jennie to. Damn this girl. She's even more beautiful.

"Yeah. You too, Lis. Thank you." She said and smiled.

"Bye sexy!" I teased her and winked.

"Bye sexy." She teased back and even gave me a flying kiss.

Shit Lisa. What are you doing.

After a few days, Miyeon and I also went back to Switzerland. She has been cold to me but I didn't ask her about it. I'll just wait for her to approach me or she might scream all over the place if I insist.

One morning, I woke up and decided to call Jennie. I already missed Eli. The lil guy is so happy to see me. How i wish i can hug him.

I went downstairs and Miyeon noticed i am talking to Elijah. She just smiled at me and gestured me to come to the dining area.

Elijah dropped the call because he said he is so sleepy already. Ahhhhhh. I want to see his cuteness in person!!!

"Honey, when are you coming to Seoul?" Miyeon asked. I noticed she is not in good state right now. I mean, she's a bit bothered.

"Next week. You want to come with me? This mall project is already waiting for me. It's going to last for 7 months until we finish building it." I answered while munching.

After a while, she stood up and took some jam from the fridge. Her phone screen lit up and I have accidentally read a message.

"Keep her away from them. She must not know." And the sender is my Dad.

"Miyeon, what dad and you talking about?" She was shocked seeing me holding her phone and reading the message.

She tried taking her phone from me but my grip is strong enough as i keep scanning their messages.

"Dad, we really can't bear a child. I have confirmed, I am the one who's infertile. Actually I knew it already before Lisa and I got married." Have I gone too far? This message was sent 2 years ago.

My body froze.

"Sit down!" I ordered Miyeon to sit beside me. My voice is already angry but my face is emotionless.

"Would you fucking explain this?!" I slammed her phone on the table. She looked at her phone to see what i am referring to.

When she saw it. She kneeled to me immediately and begged.

"So you have been informing my father that I talk to Jennie and Eli? So you have been lying to me all this time? You made me believe I am the one who is incapable of having a child while the truth is you are the one who is infertile. You stole time from me, Miyeon. You fucked my head making me believe I am useless." My tears are falling. I don't have the courage to fight anymore.

"I am sorry, Lis. I wanted to tell you before we got married but your father stopped me." She said apologizing.

"What else do I have to know?" I asked.

"It's about time, Lis. The moment i saw your reaction seeing Jennie and Elijah, that's the first time I saw you happy. We've been married for almost 5 years, but i have never seen your genuine smile. " She paused for a while. I just can't stop crying. They poisoned my mind. What else?
What else do I have to discover?

Miyeon came near me and hugged me.
"Are you still in love with Jennie?"
She asked me.

"God knows there was never a day I didn't love her. And I just can't help myself anymore because even if I don't see her, i am still falling in love with her even more. I am sorry." I said while sobbing.

"It's okay. It's about time to face the truth. We will not be happy with each other, Lis. Your heart always belongs to her." She said.

"Follow your heart. Go back to Seoul. Let's talk about the divorce through emails." She added while wiping her tears.

I can't believe what's happening now. I don't even know how I feel.
I feel betrayed. They made me believe i had incapabilities.

I didn't wait for next week so I booked a flight immediately. I stayed in a hotel when I arrived in Seoul since I already sold my old house.
Tomorrow, I will look for a new house.

I kept thinking. My heart keeps pounding. I don't know what to do first. Should I confront my father? Should I see my brother and sister first?
Okay. So I texted Jennie.

"Jen, can I see you tonight?"
But I didnt get a reply.
