You say nothing over the phone. I only can hear your breathing.
"Don't you want to know if my father really receive that slush fund?"
"I don't care about that. What I care about is you, so tell me. How are you?"
You sigh deeply. "I guess I am dissapointed with my father."
Of course you are dissapointed. While I can stay away from any campaign business, you don't have same luxury as mine. You need to be there with your father through thick and thin.
I was dissapointed too when it was the first time my father run for mayor. Bearing the knowledge of dark secrets behind those political maneuvers. There is nothing that not calculated.
"I don't think we can meet."
I like the dissapointed tone on your voice when you say that.
"I know. You must be followed everywhere by the press."
"Yeah, it's pretty tiring. Even though it's quite satisfying to see them got yelled by Daehwi and Woojin sometimes."
We laugh together.
Your duo cousins can be scary.
"Do the jerk still bother you?"
What you mean as jerk must be my fiancé.
"No. We keep minimal contact."
I remember you ranted and cursed a lot that day he left me about he didn't know how to treat a lady. You were angry because I seemed so cool about him cheating behind my back. I saw your different side for the first time that day.
"Good. Keep it that way. Just look, I'll steal you from him."
The truth is I feel getting angry with my fiance will be a waste of time since I know our engagement is not gonna work.
Ironic, isn't it?
I know we are not gonna work too, but I still keep contact with you.
Now I only can pray that you really mean what you just said.
