You're My Present

Part 30

Irene and Krystal have dinner together after back from office. Krystal enjoy her food since she’s hungry while Irene playing with her food and spacing out

“Juhyun”
“…”
“Yah! Kim Juhyun!” Krystal said loudly
“What?” Irene startled
“Why not eat your food? You said you’re hungry earlier”
“I suddenly lost appetite” Irene said and push her plate

Krystal wipes her mouth with tissue “Are you thinking about us?”
“Sort of”
“That what I want to talk with you” Krystal lean her arms on the table
“Talk”

“What we should do now? Shall we stop? I mean everyone getting apart from us now. You see you family; they not close with you like before. My parents also same, mom sometimes ignore me and avoid when I want to talk to her. Unnie also not contact me since she return back to her dorm last Tuesday”
“We’re not breaking up, never. I’ll fight for us. I don’t care about anything. If they don’t want us, we’ll leave to other part of the world but leaving you is not in my life to-do list” Irene said in serious manner
“Don’t risk yourself Juhyunie. Even we’re not couple anymore, we still can see each other. I don’t want you to get hurt and our family as well” Krystal said worriedly and she know Irene will never take back her words
“Nothing bad will happen, don’t worry. My family won’t hurt me and you. It’s true that their words so harsh and you don’t want to hear it but hurting me badly, they’ll never do it. Trust me”
“Your family maybe not but my parents, even they look cool but hell will loosen if they explode. I worry if they kick me out of the house”
“If they throw you away, I’ll buy house for you. Money is not a problem to me. You’re not alone honey”

Krystal heaves heavy sighs “I just can pray so that nothing bad will happen to us”
“Yea, me too”
I
rene phone vibrate on the table and she check it then she sigh “What happen?” Krystal asked
“Umma and appa want to see me tomorrow. Along with my oppa and unnie”
“Oh, hope everything is ok”
“Yea”
“Let go home now. You need to rest”
“Ok” after pay for the food, they leave

Kim family gathers in Mr. Kim office room, everyone mind filled with curiosity. Mrs. Kim discharged 2 days ago and her relationship with Irene shaking badly. They barely talk to each other and like Mrs. Jung, she also avoid her daughter. They also not dinner together since her return home

“I call all of you here now is because I want to talk about recent issue. Your umma and I want to clear with everything either it end well or not” Mr. Kim said
“Ok appa” the kids answer

“First of all, Juhyun do you still stick with your decision to choose Krystal over us?” Mr. Kim looked at Irene
“Appa, I not choose her over all of you. I choose everyone but I don’t want to break up”
“We against your relationship but you still defend it so what’s that mean? Isn’t it you choose her more than your own family?”
Irene pouts “Ok appa”
“So, are you still choose her or not?” Mr. Kim asked again
“Can I not make choice?”
“If you date a right person, you don’t need to do this, not at all. We’ll not wasting time gather for this topic”
“Come on Juhyun” Mrs. Kim interrupt
“I…I…” Irene scratched her nape
“You what?!” Mrs. Kim lost her patience

“I choose Soojung”
“You sure? You still have time to change your decision” Mr. Kim said and he can’t believe his daughter choice. As a father, it so hard for him to accept the fact that the daughter that he spoiled since baby swing to other way that not accepted by everyone around them. He’s sad but him not showing it. He needs to be strong and calm for his family.
“I’m sure appa, I cross my heart” Irene said confidently and she can hear her sibling groan in frustration

“I told you nothing can change her. If we can change her decision, it was success few days ago, not now. Let her enjoy her new life as lesbian” Mrs. Kim so upset
“Ok” Mr. Kim so disappointed
“Just proceed with next thing so that we can dismiss quickly. I want to rest” Mrs. Kim command
“Ok” then Mr. Kim walk to his table and get an envelope then he return to the couch again
