Audrey POV
“You're my daughter, Audrey,” He said silently, and I could feel my heart struck. What?!
A small gasp fell out from Ryan, Hazel, and even Kwa young's mouth.
I glanced at them and their faces held a surprise one, I scoffed softly before taking my eyes back to Kwa young's Dad.
He stared down at me pitifully, but I only stared at him like he'd just uttered gibberish.
I mean, how on earth is that even possible!
“Audrey” He murmured softly and took a step forward. The guests haven't noticed what's going on yet, I could see some of them chattering happily, while some were already dancing to the low music blaring from the speakers. “Where's your mom now?” He asked in a low voice, and I think I caught the glimpse of the tears that are welled up in his eyes.
“We need to talk,” He added.
I shut my eyes, I'm really not understanding this, and I want to avoid being rude towards Kwa young's Dad, not even on an occasion like this. “Sir…”
“Audrey!”
My words were wiped out by a familiar voice at my back, I swiftly turned around to look.
It was mom.
What's she doing here?
She left where she was standing and marched towards our direction.
I caught Kwa young's Dad with a light smile on his face as he watches mom.
“What happened to your phone, Audrey, I've been trying to reach you for hours now!” She got to where I was standing with others and asked, more like she yelled.
I twitched my lips and reached for my phone in my clutch, that was hung on my shoulder.
“Here's my phone mom, I guess it's the network” I explained before returning the phone, after I've shown it to her face.
She heaved a deep breath and took my hand.
“We have to get out of this place now,” She announced, and my eyes dimmed at once.
“What do you mean, mom?”
“I mean, I just arrived here a while ago, and you want me to leave so soon?”
“Chun cha, let's just resolve this, please” Kwa young's Dad moved closer to us and begged.
Mom swallowed as her eyes glinted angrily.
“Let's go” She started pulling me out of the house, ignoring the few looks some were already shooting at us.
“Mom, what are you doing?” I asked her, trying to free my wrist.
“You're embarrassing me, mom!” I yelled in a tiny voice, but she kept pulling me, turning deaf ears to my grouse.
Okay,
What's going on?
One of the securities opened the gate and mom pulled me out at once. We crossed to the other side of the road where her car was parking, she opened the passenger seat for me and gestured for me to get in.
“Would you please tell me what's going on already?” I scowled. She rolled her eyes and threw me in.
Oh, my…
What's wrong with her?
I watched as she turned around and got behind the wheels. “Mom!” I yelled.
“I promise to explain everything to you when we get home, but first, we need to get out of here” She said calmly and that seemed to calm my nerves a bit.” Okay” I uttered and sat right on the seat before crossing my arms on my chest.
Yeah, I need to understand why she'd to drag me out like that, in the presence of everyone.
And Kwa young's Dad, what was he saying?
“Mom…”
“Let's get home first, Mi cha” She cut me off.
“Kwa young's Dad told me something and I…”
“I already promised to explain everything to you,” She glanced at me and said angrily.
I gulped before facing the road.
*****
“You mean I'm truly Kwa young's Dad daughter, as he'd claimed earlier at the party?” I asked mom in a broken voice.
She nodded, staring down at her feet.
She just finished narrating all that transpired earlier, and I couldn't help how shattered, anger, hatred, broken I'm feeling right now.
“I didn't want you to meet him, and that was why I've been trying to reach you, but couldn't,” Mum lifted her head and said, with tears rolling down her face.
“But you should have told me earlier, mom, that man needs to be taught a lesson!” I sprang to my feet and yelled.
“I knew if I had told you at the party, you were going to create a scene and I wouldn't like that to happen,” Mom said silently, staring at me dolefully.
I shoved my hands into my hair and ruffled it- I'm absolutely devastated right now.
“It's fine mom, but don't even think of transferring me to another school because I won't oblige,” I said with tightened jawline.
“And he better not try to come close to me, otherwise…” I trailed off and with another glance, I stormed off hitting, my toes against a stool in the process.
“Ouch!” I yelped silently, but didn't stop walking. It's all his fault!
The following day…
Min jun POV.
I kept checking myself out in the mirror, wanting to be sure if this dress fits me well. It's my first time visiting psycho, so I should look my best.
I brushed my hair for the umpteenth time.
“Perfect” I muttered and kept the hairbrush.
With one last look, I sauntered out of my room. “Whoa… Remind me how I was blessed with a cute boy as you” Dad joked immediately he spotted me climbing down the stairs. I grinned widely.
“It's all thanks to your beauty, Dad,” I complimented as I got to where he was sitting on a single sofa, with a magazine in his hands. Today is Sunday, he doesn't go to work except if he just wants to have a nice time with his friends. “You're ready?” He asked with a wink. “Obviously, Dad”
I rolled my eyes. “You shouldn't talk too much when you get there, Aaron,” He began.
“And if you're going to play any games, make sure they're not weird games,” He tutored, and I frowned.
“It's just a visit Dad, I never told you we're going on a date,” I reminded.
“Aigoo! Just do as I say, huh!”
I bow in agreement.
“May I leave now?”
“Of course son, won't you peck Dad before leaving?” He pouts.
I smiled before leaning over and pecked his cheeks. “Why didn't you use the cologne I got you the last time?” He asked with raised brows. “It's nothing, Dad,” I shook my head.
“I should get going”
I started walking away.
“Have you called your driver?” Dad asked.
I stopped walking and turned to answer him.
“I would love to take a cab, Dad,”
He shot me an adorable smile.
“Good of you, son” He said, and I also smiled at him before continuing my walk.
“Don't forget all I just told you, Min jun, don't talk too much and do extend my greetings to her, understand?”
“Sure, Dad”
I got to the entrance door and walked out.
If I had not left like that, he would still be bombarding me with talks.
Luckily, I found a cab immediately I got outside. I told him the address, and he took off afterwards. I'm coming for you, psycho!
I screamed to myself inwardly.
After some minutes drive, the car halted, and I looked out to see psycho's house gate.
My lips curved to a wide smile.
I quickly got down and paid the driver.
I breathe in and out before taking a few steps to where the gate was, I made to knock on it when the weather suddenly changed.
I looked up at the sky.
“Oh my… It's going to rain soon”
I quickly knocked on the gate before it starts raining. “Geuge nuguya(who's that?)” I heard a voice from inside, and I presumed it's the gatekeeper. Uhm mm…
“Naya, Min jun (it's me, Min jun)" I replied nervously. My palms I've become so sweaty.
The gate went open, and my eyes met with a not too old man, he scrutinized me from my face, to my toes.
“Dangsin-eun nugu-ibnikka(who are you?)” He asked, not so friendly.
Can't he speak English language at all?
“I'm Min jun, Audrey's classmate, I'm here to see her” I replied, trying to sound polite.
He stared at me for a minute before nodding his head. "I coming” He said and shut the gate. I couldn't help the small laugh that I busted into; I coming? Really?
The storm broke and I became frighten.
Oh no, don't tell me I'm getting wet. Gosh!
“Just hold yourself for a while, let me get in first.” I shouted as it pours heavily.
After a short while, the gate went open again, and I felt a bit glad. I turned to the gate quickly.
She was holding an umbrella over her head, she was wearing a simple yellow gown, which stopped at her knees, her slender feet fitted so perfect in her white fur slippers.
“Hi, psycho” I greeted with a bright smile, but she only stared on, like she doesn't recognize me or something.
I gulped, perhaps she's annoyed I came uninvited. “Uh mm… I'm sorry to came here without your consent, but I just wanted to surprise you,” I explained, blinking my eyes as the heavy rain keeps pouring on me.
She still didn't say anything and to my utmost surprise, she turned her back and went back inside. Huh?
“Psycho!” I shouted, trying to go in after her, but the gatekeeper wouldn't allow me to.
“Go” The gatekeeper said and shut the gate to my face. Huh?
I wiped the water away from my face, what's wrong with her?,
