The only woman in the organization
ep. 21 Meeting Dad


It's been three days since I returned from my vacation in China, and during that time I've been doing some research to find a place to meet my dad.


์ตํ์
Jihoon oppa's help was half of it, but... I think I got to know my dad a little better.

dripping-


์ตํ์
Come in

The door opened and Jihoon appeared.


์ด์งํ
Hyuna


์ตํ์
Are you here, oppa?


์ด์งํ
Yeah, I think I can go to that person now.


์ตํ์
...I'm finally going to see it


์ด์งํ
Shall we go together?


์ตํ์
No... I just want to go alone


์ด์งํ
I'll go by car, but it's still a bit far.


์ตํ์
It's Seungcheol's car, so can I just drive it however I want?


์ด์งํ
My brother gave me permission


์ตํ์
Oh really??


์ด์งํ
Yeah, really, drive carefully instead


์ตํ์
Do you think I'm still a lover??


์ด์งํ
You're still a kid to me. Take care on your way.

Jihoon took the key out of the drawer in the living room, handed it to me, and patted my head.


์ตํ์
I'll be back!


์ด์งํ
Have a nice trip

I got in the car, started the engine, and headed to my dad's house.


์ตํ์
Dad... I'll go. You'll have to explain it to me properly.

After connecting to Bluetooth in the car and listening to music, I got a call. When I looked at the caller ID, it was Sunyoung oppa.


์ตํ์
๐ Hello?


๊ถ์์
๐ Where are you?


์ตํ์
๐ I'm on my way to daddy


๊ถ์์
๐ Really? Take care and call me right away if anything happens.


์ตํ์
๐ I worry so much about you and Jihoon


๊ถ์์
๐ I'm saying this because I'm worried about you


์ตํ์
๐ You don't have to worry


๊ถ์์
๐ Are you driving?


์ตํ์
๐ Yeah, I'm driving


๊ถ์์
๐ Drive safely and come back


์ตํ์
๐ Okay

I hung up the phone and went to my dad's house while listening to music.





After some time had passed, I arrived at my father's house.

I turned off the engine and got out.


์ตํ์
... One lady said she asked well, and she really asked well.

I rang the doorbell in front of the house and heard a man's voice inside.

ํ์ ์๋น
who are you

Soon the door opened and my father and I met at the door.

ํ์ ์๋น
It's my first time seeing you, so why did you come to my house?


์ตํ์
... Dad, it's me. I'm Choi Hyun-ah, who you abandoned at an orphanage 23 years ago.

ํ์ ์๋น
...I've never had a daughter like you.


์ตํ์
...Your daughter came to see you like this, so why do you say you've never had a daughter before?!!!!!!

ํ์ ์๋น
Come in


์ตํ์
Before I hug you, I want to ask my dad why you left me there?

ํ์ ์๋น
Before your mother divorced you, she abandoned you in an orphanage because she didn't want to raise you as both of us.


์ตํ์
And have you ever thought of me as your daughter?

ํ์ ์๋น
No, I never considered you my daughter.


์ตํ์
And didn't you feel guilty while living with this woman?

ํ์ ์๋น
Yeah, I met you after I broke up with your mom, so why do I feel guilty?


์ตํ์
... Don't lie, according to the information I have, my dad met this woman before he divorced my mom!!!!!!


์ตํ์
Why are you lying in front of your daughter? You're so dirty, both you and your dad!!

Crack-


์ตํ์
Why did you hit me!!

ํ์ ์๋น
Choi Hyun-ah, get out now!!

I grabbed my blushing cheeks and walked past him, returning to the car.


์ตํ์
under...

I started the car, put on some music, and headed home.




I realized that there's a reason why they say you shouldn't drive when you're in a bad mood.


์ตํ์
Ah... I lost to Seungcheol oppa


์ตํ์
...I guess I should call my brother and talk to him...?

With trembling hands, I took out my phone and called Seungcheol oppa, but he didn't answer, probably because he was busy.

I was thinking about calling my brother again, but I called Jihoon and he didn't answer.


์ตํ์
Why aren't you both answering your phones?

Finally, I called Chan-i, but he didn't even answer the phone.


์ตํ์
Hi... Seriously, why isn't everyone getting it...

Biting my lip in impatience, I raised my head and saw the horribly crumpled body of the car. Seeing the front of Seungcheol's car, obscured by the building it had crashed into, my vision went black. It felt unreal that I had walked out of there unscathed.


์ตํ์
...what should I really do?

I felt a vibration in my hand, so I checked and it was Seungcheol calling. I picked up the phone.


์ตํ์
๐ Oppa...


์ต์น์ฒ
๐ Hyun-ah, I'm sorry I couldn't answer your call because something important came up. What's wrong?


์ตํ์
๐ Oppa... I got into an accident on my way back from seeing my dad...


์ต์น์ฒ
๐ What? An accident? Where are you now? I'll be there right away. Just wait a minute.


์ต์น์ฒ
๐ Jisoo, grab your car keys and go somewhere with me.

The call ended with a loud bang. I put the phone down helplessly, and as I heard my brother's voice ringing in my ears, the tears I'd been holding back seemed to burst out.




After a while, I heard the sound of brakes being applied suddenly from afar. I turned my head and looked at it, and it was Seungcheol oppa.

As soon as my brother saw me, he ran towards me and hugged me without even asking what the circumstances were.


์ต์น์ฒ
Choi Hyun-ah... Do you really want to surprise your brother? Are you hurt anywhere?


์ตํ์
... I'm really sorry, oppa... I didn't know this would happen when I went to see dad...

When I saw my brother, the tears I had been holding back burst out. I wanted to stop crying, but I couldn't. I cried like a baby. My brother comforted me and then wiped my tears away.


์ต์น์ฒ
Oppa, as long as you don't get hurt, that's fine, so stop crying, okay?


ํ์ง์
Wow... I was wondering why Seungcheol was in a hurry, and it turns out he was. How are you, Hyuna? Are you okay?


์ตํ์
Yeah... it's okay


์ต์น์ฒ
Jisoo, take Hyuna to my car. I'll go and clean up here.


ํ์ง์
Okay, okay, let's go, Hyuna.

Even after getting into Seungcheol's car, I couldn't calm down.


ํ์ง์
Hyuna, are you really okay??


์ตํ์
Yeah... but it's not easy to calm down...


ํ์ง์
Are you really surprised? I see your hands are still shaking. Take a deep breath and let it out.


์ตํ์
Oppa... Seungcheol oppa, your car ended up like that because of me, but you didn't get angry at me and just hugged me, so I felt even more sorry...


ํ์ง์
If Seungcheol cared about the car, he wouldn't have done that. He could just buy another car.


ํ์ง์
Seungcheol was really worried about you. He said you were fine the whole way here, but his hands were shaking the whole time he was driving because he thought you might be hurt badly.

I felt a cold wind blowing in and looked ahead to see Seungcheol oppa taking care of the accident and getting into the car.


์ต์น์ฒ
Sorry to keep you waiting. It's all over now. Shall we go home now?


์ตํ์
Yeah... Oppa, Jisoo oppa, I'm really sorry... because of me...


ํ์ง์
Don't say sorry. Seungcheol and I both put you first, Hyunah.


์ต์น์ฒ
Yeah, that's right, Hyuna. I'm glad you're okay. But you still have to be careful, right?


์ตํ์
Yeah, I know...

I was soon lulled to sleep by the sound of my two older brothers' voices.





์ต์น์ฒ
I'm here


์๋ช ํธ
What's going on, bro?


์ต์น์ฒ
Hyuna was fast asleep, so I woke her up and brought her in.


์๋ช ํธ
Oh really?? You know HyunA's room? Drop HyunA off and come.


์ต์น์ฒ
huh

< Seungcheol comes out after taking Hyuna to her room >


์๋ช ํธ
What happened, bro?


์๋ช ํธ
My brother brought Hyuna in


์ต์น์ฒ
I had a car accident


์๋ช ํธ
What??? Is Hyuna okay??


ํ์ง์
Yeah Hyuna is okay


์ต์น์ฒ
When I saw the child, he was shocked and thoughtful.


์๋ช ํธ
... Really?? Okay, I'll see if it's okay when I wake up later.


์ต์น์ฒ
...I think it was because of my father


์ต์น์ฒ
I don't know what happened, but I think it was because of my father.
