The Talk

*this hasn't been edited or revised, sorry in advance for any grammatical errors. Enjoy!

If Minji was nervous at the beginning, that totally changed the moment she opened the door. Jimin asked her to come outside, to which she agreed. She didn't want to take him upstairs to talk, it would felt as if she was letting him enter her and Soa's life. They walked to the park near the shop, and were currently seating on a bench. Both of them knew they need to say something but it was so awkward and they didn't know what to do

"So-"
"How-"

Both of them said at the same time, and looked away awkwardly. "Sorry you go first" Jimin said looking at her, "no it's okay, I feel like you should talk first" she finally looked him in the eyes. Jimin was looking at her with a sadness she couldn't understand, the boy didn't say anything and Minji was feeling uncomfortable by the way he was looking at her.

In all honesty Jimin didn't know how to start. After last day encounter in the flower shop he left with a bittersweet feeling. Some things made sense know. Jimin isn't stupid, he can see the resemblance of himself on the little girl. The full lips and button nose says a lot, but the eyes.. those are her mothers eyes. Last night he didn't sleep at all thinking agin and again of what was going on. He didn't know what to do, but he needed confirmation so he asked "she is my daughter, right?"

He asked but it sounded more like a fact. Minji heard him but couldn't answer, her mouth was dry. Jimin repeated himself a bit louder turning his body towards her "Minji, please just answer. Is she my daughter? Yes or no" she took deep breaths and prepare to say her next words "yes.. she is your daughter" Jimin felt all the breath in his lungs leave him. He was already sure, but the confirmation of the girl made everything more real. Just yesterday he was a man which only goal was to succeed in his workspace with no interest on starting a family so fast, but now he gets the confirmation that he is the father of a four year old girl.

He feels both joyous and terribly scared. What is he supposed to do? He doesn't know ho to be a dad, but the he remembers the little girl that he found crying and pouting looking for her missing teddy and his heart flutters with something new. Yes, he doesn't know what parenting is but for his little girl he'll try.

"Does she know? I mean.. that I'm her father?" Question we're now flooding his mind. Why didn't Minji reached out to him? Why keep it a secret? Was she ever gonna tell him? He started feeling anger pooling inside him at the thought of never meeting his daughter. The what if's going through his mind and messing with him, but before he could say anything stupid the girl sighed

"Look.. I'll answer your questions, but just know that everything I've done is for her and her safety. I don't regret leaving and never reaching out to you and if I'm being honest we have been okay without a dad on the picture. I'm not sorry if I sound defensive because at the end I'm her mother" she felt achieved by having the strength to say everything without breaking. Minji waited for Jimin to starts asking, she could see how the boy was trying so hard to ask the right questions.

"When? When did you now you were pregnant? I understand if you are defensive but couldn't you reach out for me? I could have helped you" he said defeated and looking betrayed by the only one he has ever loved. Minji tried ignoring the look on the boy's eyes and looked over to the ocean, "the day- the last time I saw you at the coffee shop. I was already feeling the symptoms and had a pregnancy test done and told my parents about it, I'm glad they supported me. My dad had a promotion so we came to Busan, and as I already said I don't regret any decision. If you remember well we didn't end on good terms last time I saw you, so I thought it would be best for me to cut all contact with everyone in Seoul and start again with my life with Soa. So yeah Jimin, I didn't reach out because a baby would be on you way and in all honesty at the time I thought you didn't deserve to know" she crossed her arms and ended with a harsh tone.

Saying that Jimin felt like shit was an understatement. He felt horrible after the girl brought up that 'incident'. All the anger he was feeling before was turned into regret and shame. He could sense the hurt on Minji's voice, and he agrees that he didn't deserve anything at all. But know he was changed, he had more power on his hands to help, he learned from his errors and did better. Now he wanted to try

"Minji.. you don't know how sorry I am for all of the pain I made you go through. I'm really sorry, and I get that I do deserve all the hate you throw my way but she's still my daughter and now I deserve to know her and for her to know who I am. Believe it or not, I have changed.. I'm better now and I want the best for both you and Soa. So please, give just one chance to make things right."

Minji felt like crying, she really didn't know how hearthbroken she still was until now. Hearing his past love truly apologizing was something she never thought would happen in a million years. Things between the two were still a mess and it would take time to heal and work things out for them, but her daughter didn't have to pay for her parents problems. She deserves having both parents around her, and receiving all the love in the world. So she made a decision

"Okay, I'll let you meet her properly and will see where we go from there" the joy in Jimin's heart was indescribable as he smiled so hard his eyes turned into twin crescent moons "thank you, you won't regret it I swear, I'll do things right with the both of you"

"Just to be clear I don't forgive you, but Soa's happiness is more important than a pity thing like our past together" the words crushed Jimin's heart, but it was true he fucked up things with Minji, but he will work even harder for her forgiveness, "it's late I'll go now" she said getting up. Jimin quickly follow as she made her way to the flower shop. He was about to ask if he could meet Soa now but the girl beat him to it, "Soa is with my parents, but tomorrow she'll be here. Whenever you are ready to come we are always here" she said pointing toward the top of the shop were she and Soa lived in.

"I'll be here tomorrow after work. Goodnight Minji" he left after the girl went inside the shop and turned off all the lights.

A bubble of excitement settle on his stomach, and his heart ached with so many feelings. Even though he had already seen the little girl, this time he would see her as her daughter. He doesn't know how parenthood works, but he will do his best just for his pretty princess. He will work hard for the forgiveness of his first love, hoping to some day be able to explain what really happen.

When he got to his apartment he still felt excited and immensely happy. As he drifted of to sleep his dreams consisted of a giggling princess that ran towards his awaiting arms as she screamed in joy

"Daddy! Daddy! You're finally here daddy! I love you"
