The sound of the piano echoes in my head as I started playing it with my eyes closed. I already memorized the piece but I keep on doing mistakes. I almost spent 3 hours playing the piano but I don't have a progress. I can't even finish a single piece
"Chaeryeong called me, she said Jaemin refused to leave"
I slammed the piano which made an unpleasant noise. I took a deep breath and started playing again, thinking that I will manage to finish a song this time when Haechan stopped me
"You've been avoiding him for 3 days. He doesn't even know that you're not there. You're making him stupid. We're leaving tomorrow, are you sure you're going to waste time to be with him before you leave?" he seriously asked
"Tell him to leave---"
"Ryujin-ah--"
""Thank you for saving my father's life" Do you think I will waste my time just to hear that from him?" I said with a poker face which made him speechless. He slowly let go of my hand and stepped back
"Why are you acting like Jaemin is that kind of person?" he disappointedly said and left
I'm currently staying at a vacant mansion here in District 9. I'm staying here for almost 3 days now just to avoid Jaemin because I know that he will come to me once he found out about his dad. I'm sure that Ji Eun told him what I did that night just to save his dad and Mr. Shin
Just thinking about it makes me want to just disappear
"Ryujin-ah, let's eat" Dad entered the music hall with some snacks which made me smile
He was supposed to leave after the trial but I asked him to stay because I feel like I need him. He agreed to stay until I leave which I am grateful about
"Here"
We started eating strawberry ice cream. When I took the first scoop of ice cream, I immediately remembered Beomgyu. It's been a long time since the last time we eat our favorite ice cream together
"You're leaving tomorrow..." Dad suddenly said "How long are you going to stay there?"
I smiled as I recognized the sadness on his voice
"I don't know, maybe until I completely heal from all of this"
"I understand, take your time. Enjoy the life abroad" he said and patted my head
My dad stayed at the rural area of Daegu along with his childhood friend who's blind. He voluntarily took care of him because that friend of him lives alone. His house was just next to him that's why he can easily go to his house
My dad never spent any single penny from the money that Mrs. Kim gave for my mom's organ. He started a life there from zero which amazed me and also made me feel sad. I got mad at him for no reason
He also explained the reason to me why he abandoned me. He wants me to meet my real family that's why he had an agreement with Mrs. Lee and Jin. Dad knows me well and he knew that I will never take the money unless I worked hard for it that's why they plotted everything
They successfully did it. They managed to bring me closer to the people who plays an important role in my life but my dad have a lot of regrets. He didn't expect Mr. Kim to be a jerk. He didn't expect me to be hurt like this. And that's what he regrets the most
Just like him, I have a lot of regrets too. A lot. But that regrets was nothing compared to the beautiful things and experiences that I've got when I get here
The Lee Family, especially Haechan...
Mrs. Kim, Haruto, Taehyung, Younghoon...
