Jindae's POV



Hi, I am Kim Jindae, 22 years old on American age. Korean-American. I was born in Seoul but grew up in America with my dad while my mom left in Korea for her business with my adopted older sister, Jaena.


My friends describes me as a happy go lucky kid. I have everything I need. I can get anything I want. Mom and Dad will provide and give me anything. But today... I'm leaving America. I know, I don't have to, but I want to. Because I want to move on. I want to forget the sadness.


Dad left me. Dad left us. He's cheating with his Business Partner, Miss Miller. A rich and famous business woman in New York.


I got to meet this girl trice in my whole life. First time were the time she signed a business with Dad. Second time were in my Graduation Day. Mom can't fly over to America that time and she asked Miss Miller to accompany my Dad on my Graduation Day. Little did we know, they already have a thing since the day she signed. And the last one were when Dad came home with her. Packing his things.


(flashback...)


"Dad, annyeong! You came home early!" I gracefully greeted as I run to give him a hug and kiss


"Oh! Miss Miller you're here! Long time no see" I smiled and softly gave her hug


"uhmm Dad, Mom called me a while ago asking where you are... Didn't you get any call from her?" I asked as I turn to face my Dad


"Nothing. I got nothing" he coldly replied


"Are you okay Dad?" I asked and he just gave me a smile and winked


"By the way Dad, I got two calls from two different Universities. I want to ask for your opinion... Where should I work? New York University or Fordham University?" I proudly asked


"Choose what's on your heart. Always follow your heart, honey" he simple stated


"aww yeah" I answered bit a little disappointment in my face because I am expecting him to answer me directly


"Uhmmm If you're going to ask for my opinion, I think you should choose Fordham. Your Dad is an alumni of Fordham" Miss Miller walked to me


"He is? How come I didn't know about that Dad--" I cut myself from talking as I noticed my Dad packing his things


"You have out of town business Dad?" I asked in shock


"N-no, honey" he stuttered


"Then why are you packing? -And all of your things?!" I half shouted as he just look at me and Miss Miller


"Denver, I think you have to tell her. She has to know" Miss Miller stated looking straight to my Dad


"No, I don't think so. I can do my responsibility to her no matter what"


"What are you talking about Dad?!" I started to shout out of confusion


"Better tell her now before she'll know by herself! Maybe she can accept us! Me! Me as her step-mom!" Miss Miller suddenly shouted as she hold my hand


"WHAT?!" I slightly pushed her


"JINDAE!" Dad shouted back


"YOU TWO ARE HAVING A RELATIONSHIP?! YOU CHEATED ON MOM?! SINCE WHEN?!" I cried


"J-jindae, calm down..." Miss Miller tapped my back


"SINCE WHEN?!" I faced her to shout at her


"T-the day I s-signed a contract in your Dad's b-business" she nervously answered


"what the hell" I whispered in frustration


"Jindae, listen to me first" Dad came, attempting to hold my hand but I shoved it away


"Does mom knows?" I politely asked


"Y-yeah. She found out last year" he looked down


"And you're getting your things packed so that- what? To live with your MISTRESS?!"


"W-we bought a new house in the village... Just near at your condo" Miss Miller stood up from sitting


"I don't freaking care!" I told her


"Jindae, we're planning to move there this week... With you" Dad stated


"NO! I better live alone without you rather than living in the same roof with your Mistress!" I shouted


"JINDAE! YOU'RE TOO MUCH!"


"AM I?! I DON'T THINK SO DAD!" I shouted back


"Jindae, we can be family... In fact, you're already having a sibling. I-I am pregnant darling" Miss Miller came to hold my both hands


"Y-you are what?" i asked


"She's pregnant. With my child" Dad answered


"I have my own family. I have my Mom and I would choose her no matter what" I stated


"Dad, do you still love me?" I asked while crying


"Yes, of course honey! I love you more than anything and my own self" he started crying too as he hug me


"Then let's go back to Korea... Don't worry, I promise to let you see your child with Miss Miller" I cried


"N-no... I love her"


"-but you said you love me more than yourself!"


"I love her too and the baby growing inside her, honey"


"THEN YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE! ME OR YOUR MISTRESS?!!" I pushed him enough for him to hit his back in the wall


"Honey, I don't have to choose between the two of you"


"YOU HAVE TO!"


"I-i can't" he whispered shout


"THEN JUST LEAVE! GET YOUR THINGS OUT OF THIS CONDO AND HAVE A FREAKING LIFE WITH THAT SLUT! YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ME BECAUSE I HAVE MOM WITH ME! WE CAN LIVE WITHOUT YOU! I HATE YOU!" I shouted out of my lungs while throwing away his things out of this condo


"Jindae, I'm sorry" Miss Miller cried as she help dad pick his things


"SHUT UP, YOU DISGUSTING MISTRESS!"


"Jindae, she did nothing... Just hate me but don't hate Tiffany" dad stated


"I HATE YOU BOTH! GET OUT OF MY CONDO, GET OUT OF MY LIFE! FROM NOW ON! I DON'T HAVE A DAD ANYMORE. HE ALREADY DIED! YOU'RE DEAD FOR ME!" I shout my lungs out before slamming the door from them


I cried for the whole week because of my Dad. I felt betrayed and hurt. I feel sad for my Mom, she doesn't deserve this.


I am getting some calls from my Mom at Jaena unnie but I don't feel like talking with someone right now. I also got some messages from them and they already know what happened
