This story does not belong to me. this is translated by KobatoChanDaiSuki.

Kaya's eyes, which were filled with chaos, trembled. Even after reading the message, closing her eyes, and turning off her smartphone, that message didn't leave her head. 'I'm sorry for the sudden message. Kaya. To go straight to the point, I'm your real father. If you see this message, can you reply?'

She remembered the words Tess Gilly said when they met a while ago. That her father was looking for her. When she heard that, Kaya thought that that 'father' was going to be the one that made her mother pregnant with Gemma and left.

"He wasn't......Gemma's side?"
"What are you mumbling alone?"

Kaya got surprised at the voice heard right next to her and turned her head. And only then did she realize that she was still holding Jo Minjoon's hands. And while covering it with her cardigan at that. Kaya hurriedly raised both of her arms and said.

"Ah, it's nothing."
"I think you were looking at your smartphone...... Is it an ill comment again?"
"No. It's not something like that. And now, I don't even get hurt by those ill comments...... Maybe. Anyways, now I'm not that weak to crumble with that much."

Kaya said with a determined face. Jo Minjoon smirked and raised his hand. The cardigan Kaya covered that hand with was hanging on that. Kaya flushed and took away her cardigan.

"I just took it off because I was hot."
"The air-con is on."
"It was turned on just now. It was hot before. I will wear it now."

Kaya answered like that, wore the cardigan, and then sighed inwardly.

It was still hot.

Their lodging. Kaya was just standing still while entrusting her body to the hot water coming out of the shower. Her wet hair stuck to her back, and water drops flowed endlessly from her long eyelashes. The feeling of her hair touching her neck was bad.

No, she just felt bad. Tomorrow she would leave this place and entrust her body to busy schedules again. And..... The sudden message that came was also like that. She thought that it was a misrepresentation, but in the first place if that was the case, how would he have known her phone number?

Kaya has never seen her real father even once. As he left even before she had some rationality, she could obviously not remember. Honestly, she thought about this when she was young. Wasn't it that even her mother, Grace, didn't know who her father was.

"......I'm sorry. Mom."

Her quiet voice washed off with the water. Kaya looked at the drops of water flowing down her body for a long time and then closed the tap. Below her eyebrows, the deep double eyelids flashed fiercely. Kaya opened her eyes abruptly and glared at herself in the mirror.

"Kaya. Get a hold of yourself."

But just what did she have to do after she got a hold of herself? To call her mother, she thought that it was only making her worried for nothing.

She thought that after washing herself, her head would be a bit lighter but after she got out of the shower, her head was as heavy as wet cotton. Emily looked at that Kaya and asked with a worried look.

"Kaya, is something wrong? Your expression is dark."
".........Life is always a ball of trouble."
"Weren't you fine until the afternoon? What, did you fight with Minjoon?"
"Minjoon doesn't make it hard for me."

Kaya said with ferocious eyes. Emily shook her hands saying not to misinterpret it.

"I'm not saying that......well. It seems like you aren't going to tell me even if I ask. What, shall I console you at least?"
"I'm fine. I can overcome it alone."
"Is there a need to do so?"
