Chapter 172: Overlapping Shadows (3) (2/2)
Kaya answered in a sassy voice Jo Minjoon let out a sigh before leaning his head in to the hot dog in Kaya’s hand and took a bite He ate froes popped up to let hiredient!” (TL: As the Koreans would call it, an indirect kiss)
Jo Minjoon looked at Kaya Kaya looked back with a slightly nervous expression He started to speak
“There Now I’ll catch a cold Thanks to a certain someone”
“……You said it’ll be fine if I took care of you”
“Will you?”
“What about you? Will you take care of me?”
“If you want me to”
Kaya started to smile at Minjoon’s response For a moment, the two of the their hot dogs, Kaya slowly started to speak
“What if Hypothetically speaking What if I end up doing so to you ……then ill you do?”
“I don’t understand what you ain? Could you forgivesuch a question There shouldn’t be anything that she should be guilty of doing to hiazed at Kaya for a bit The makeup on her eyes were clear, but her eyes theure out Jo Minjoon looked directly into her eyes as he answered
“Based on what happened, I ive you But I’ain”
“Why?”
“I don’t think I need to even answer that”
“……Yes, that’s true”
With that, Kaya stopped talking again Jo Minjoon picked up a French fry the size of a finger and dipped it in whole grain ly spicy He dipped another French fry in the sauce before holding it out to Kaya Kaya looked at the French fry for aher mouth like a baby bird
The conversation started back up once she finished chewing and sing the fry Kaya just
“I was contacted by my dad”
Jo Minjoon’s face became stiff for a moment He knew a bit about Kaya’s dad He was quite a violent person He ran away after getting Je based on his expression, but Kaya quickly continued
“Not that dad My …… biological father”
“……Biological father?”
“Yes He contacted me Said he wanted to see me”
Jo Minjoon could not deter Minjoon knew about her biological father Maybe they never met in real life in his previous life, or it was never covered as a story It could even be that he just never saw the news article……
‘It’s not the time to think like this’
“What else did he say?”
The i was the present Kaya did not want to hear from the weird person from the future, but fro
“He said he didn’t want anything …… like money All he wanted from me was a bit of time to meet and chat”
Jo Minjoon quietly looked towards Kaya He thought he could tell why she was avoiding hi She wanted to overco on hiave up doing it on her own Rather, it was probably because she felt like she overcame it in some way If she didn’t find a way to overcome it, she would probably never tell hirave
He cautiousness grabbed onto Kaya’s hand Kaya
“At first, I didn’t want to meet with him I waited almost twenty years, but he thinks he could just ry”
“……But you still want to meet him”
Kaya started to frown That froas full of sorrow and nostalgia, it was a heart wavering with happiness, and an all out attempt to at least hold on to her pride
“I really really hate hihter and disappeared my father …there is no way I would want to see hih to raise me To come back after all this time and say he wants to see me because we share soht It’s too weird”
“It’s not weird”
“……Why not?”
“In the end no matter how hter Of course I also understand where you are co from The final decision is yours to make alone However, Kaya I just hope that you don’t end up regretting your decision”
Those words seem to have reached deep into her heart She looked like she was conte for a bit before she picked up her smartphone as if she had ent
“Yes, it’s me Do I have any plans tomorrow? Great I must meet ive him a plane ticket If he really wants to see et here Yes Thank you”
“……Can you justKaya say a bunch of things before hanging up, Jo Minjoon asked with a worried expression He orried that she was overdoing it Kaya slowly shook her head as she bit her lips She looked towards Minjoon with teary eyes
“If I don’t decide noill just continue to push it back Yes I ht even swear at him when I meet him I’s that exist in the world I’m not confident at all that I would be able to understand him Because of my mom, I have never even missed my dad The one responsible for that is co responsible for that, I have no confidence that I could forgive hiive hi? Swear all you want If you want, I’ll be right there with you”
Jo Minjoon whispered to her with a voice full of pity Seeing Minjoon like that, Kaya had a sad smile on her face
“……Okay You said so earlier too That you’ll take care of me”
Jo Minjoon just silently smiled Kaya could see the burnat that burnco this So take it as a little boy would”
“……What is it?”
“Your proht now”
“Sure But what does this have to do with innocent and pure?”
“I want someone to be with me until the moment I meet my dad No, I want you to be by my side”
Kaya continued to speak
“……Tonight, will you stay with me?”
