It wasn’t just the car or the clothes he earing He hi off a fancy vibe It see that he was living in that fancy neighborhood, she knew he didn’t have a difficult life …… but she didn’t expect he would appear as such a fancy looking individual
That was also not the only reason Kaya was anxious She expected that she would meet her father once she went inside the cafe She never even thought about coincidentallyoutside like this
Kaya’s father, Bruce Croft, was also anxious He hesitated for a bit before heading towards Kaya and opening up his ar her eyes
“Don’t come here”
“……I’o in I have no thoughts of giving you a hug I didn’t co to be tough as she talked, but Jo Minjoon could feel the shaking in the hand he was holding Was it because she was angry, or because she was scared? All he could do for her right noas to tightly hold her hand
Even after entering the cafe, the two could not easily start talking Jo Minjoon debated for a bit whether he should start the conversation But if he tried to make it less ahen they haven’t even unraveled the old score they had, it ht make Kaya’s mind more of a mess
In the end, the first to talk was Bruce He slowly started to speak
“You look sier sister”
“……That is what you have to say after hter for the first tier sister? Are you trying to emphasize the fact that I am related to you by blood?”
“I’er as well I practiced what to say to youyou like this, I only seem to be able to say stupid stuff
It definitely didn’t feel fake Each and every one of his words seemed to be full of sorrow that even Jo Minjoon, who he was not directing the words to, was starting to feel sad Of course Kaya also felt that way But she hated it She wanted him to be someone terrible Since he left her alone for the last 18 years, she wanted hi out all of the grudges she had in her heart……
Would she really be happy if that was the case?
She could not answer that question As she placed that frustration into her voice, her voice naturally started to get louder
“Why did you disappear? Why were you not by our side? I really thought you would not beThe person in front ofat him”
“Do you kno our family lived without you? Everyday,worse, and I had to spend every day watchinghands with their dads and having fun, I lived while picking out spoiled fruit”
“How could you do that? Your daughter Your family How could you throw the that she had a cold If not, shethat h……
“At that ti you and your mother, I would only have hurt you more I hope you don’t take this as an excuse I know I a that Ican defend that decision”
“But I never threw you away I always thought about and o look for you once I was successful, and worked hard like uess that was also a selfish thought process”
The thing that ry was that all of Bruce’s answered seemed very mature …… and that each of his situations had reasons you had to accept
She hated it She wanted to shout ry However, Bruce was a ined for her to do that
“How hard your rew up really well That makes me feel even more sorry I’ you live without knoho your dad is”
But Kaya’s gaze did not get any softer She could not let it beco for her dad she never got to ht about him, and she loved the dad in hermore hurt and more upset At that moment, Kaya was really thankful for the mask on her face The mask will help hide her terrible facial expression
Kaya’s baptism of questions did not end there She repeated the saht up the sorrow she had for not being able to take part in parent-children activities that she couldn’t even re that ood person Better than she thought he would be Jo Minjoon hugged Kaya’s shoulder as he started to speak
“Kaya Calm your heart and see the person in front of you At least in ood person Even better than I hoped for”
“……Whose side are you really on?”
“Of course I’ this as someone on your side It is hard to hate so fro, by the time Jo Minjoon said that, Kaya had already accepted hiood dad, he wasn’t a bad person And she understood his situation
Kaya lowered the mask from her mouth To Bruce, that actionthe wall that was between the two of them
“……Fine I’ll accept it I’ll try to understand where you are coive you ……but I won’t blame you anymore However, I have a request”
“TellI can do, I will do anything What is it?”
“There’s so to restaurants No, faer sister will come to LA soon At that time, have dinner with us With my family …… I want to have a meal with my family”
“……Okay Let’s do that I will make sure to be there Call me whenever”
To be with Kaya’s mom should be quite a burdensome request for him, but he did not reject it Kaya stood up from her seat as she spoke
“Stand up”
“Hmm? Ah, I’m sorry I took too much of your time”
“No, that’s not it Stand up”
Bruce stood up with a confused expression on his face Kaya bit her lips for a second before slowly approaching hi As Bruce stood there frozen in shock, Kaya whispered in a quiet voice
“……Now I think I can give you a hug, dad”

After sending Bruce back, Kaya and Jo Minjoon just quietly sat in the cafe where they shared a conversation with him They didn’t need any special type of conversation Every so often, Kaya would rando, then her nose would turn red and she would start to sniffle, and at times she would cry a bunch as well Every time that happened, Jo Minjoon patted her shoulder and held her hand After a long while, Kaya opened herhere”
“I’m your boyfriend”
“You haven’t completed my homework yet You are just a potential Potential”
“That hoht now, I think I can take care of it”
At those words, Kaya looked towards Jo Minjoon Her red eyes and nose It was a face that you just wanted to hug She sniffled before asking
“Are you confident? You need to prepare a marvelous response”
“The foundation for a speech is the heart”
“Then try ”
Jo Minjoon saze, Kaya rolled her eyes as if she was nervous, but she quickly looked back at Minjoon with a stubborn gaze, as if she did not want to avoid his gaze
It was at that moment Jo Minjoon slowly leaned his head in Kaya nervously lifted up the mask from underneath her lips and shook her head
“No I think I knohat you are about to do, but no You’ll catch the ……”
Kaya did not say anything else Jo Minjoon had stealthily placed his lips on top of the mask Their hot breaths revolved around the thin piece of fabric That piece of fabric was between the of each other’s lips actually felt really clear
Kaya’s eyes turned extre like those of a shocked rabbit Jo Minjoon lifted up his hand and caressed Kaya’s face Her mask was lowered, and their breaths warmed each other’s lips Jo Minjoon started to speak
“I’ve already caught the cold”
Their shadows ……caether and overlapped”
