Forget Me Not || 04

[ - joshua hong - ]

I couldn't sleep at all. I'm tired, like really tired. The feeling of fear caused me to be anxious and I just could not do anything right now. I even took a cab to work cause I'm really scared to confront my father in law.... I'm seriously thinking it's gonna be a divorcing agreement...

I'm not ready...

When I arrived at my office, Byeol came up to me and told me what's on my schedule today. Apparently today, I only have a schedule with father today. Like, FOR THE WHOLE DAY. What in the world is he going to have a talk with me about ?! He told me not to be scared but how am I not going to be scared like this I---

WHAT ?

I felt like getting a panic attack for god sakes....

I can barely focus on my work, I was so nervous. I was so scared. I know I deserved it so much but this just makes me scared... Father may seem like a gentle person, but from what Sophia said, when he gets angry he'd be scarier than mother,,,, Gosh I'm seriously gonna be dead after this. He's gonna tell my parents for sure oh my goodness...

"Sir, it's 9.20 AM. You should be at the meeting room now" reminded Byeol

I looked at the clock as my eyes widened

"A-ah ! I completely forgot !" I got up as fast as possible as my heart rate was increasing gradually

Oh god, save me,,,,

Byeol accompanied me to the meeting room. I asked her to leave since this is a family matter. She understood and left back to our office to settle the works. I waited for father and her arrived shortly after. His expression was as cold as ice. Heck, maybe as a liquid nitrogen... He seemed ready to kill me...

He sat down as his secretary puts down his briefcase down

"You may go back to the building, Hyungmin" said father to his secretary

"Certainly, Mr Kim" said his secretary as he bowed to both of us

After the secretary left, father immediately turned to me. His expression was really cold and my heart was pounding crazily. In my whole life, I've NEVER felt this nervous...

"So, you know why I'm here right ?" he asked

"Y-yes, f-father" I stuttered

"Why did it all occur ?" he asked

His tone of voice was really plain. There wasn't any emotion in his tone of voice, but he's angry, I can tell. Nah, he's pretty much furious at this point.

"I trusted you didn't I ?" said father as he was tapping onto the table

His face was straight. His gaze was as cold as ice. The atmosphere was HEAVY. I was suffocating deep inside....

"I-I-I'm really s-sorry f-f-father...." I stuttered out of fear

"Do you think, a sorry can fix everything ?" he asked

I stayed quiet, scared to answer.

"I should've known something was wrong when Sooyoung keeps on coming home when she's not really a fan of staying there" said father

"So you're also the reason behind her accident ? You paid someone ?" he asked

I looked at him as I couldn't believe my ears. Paid someone ? What ???????

"H-huh ?" I looked at him in confusion

"You don't want to admit it don't you ? YOU'RE the reason why Sophia was caught in an accident. You just wanted her dead don't you ?" he asked again as I could see he's going to kill me but I'm just so damn confused

I thought we're gonna talk about me cheating on her before.....??? What is going on....?

I was so puzzled that I was just quiet until a loud thump could be heard which startled me. Father hit the table which brought me back to reality.

"Stop acting dumb Joshua Hong. Answer me." father demanded as he glared

"Wait wait wait wait-- What do you mean by paying someone else ?? I--- what ?????????" I looked at him in confusion

He got even more angry and was about to hit me but I stopped him before it landed on me

"Father I swear I REALLY don't know what you meant !" I exclaimed

"Liar !" he yelled as he struggled

"No for real ! You can ask Wonwoo or Mingyu about it !" I said as I tried to keep him at bay

"You're just trying to make yourself look good I just know it !" he exclaimed

"Father ! I love her ! There's no way I can do such things to her !" I said as I felt like crying.

Like... I've lost her. She doesn't remember me nor she would even care about me after this and I know this is just karma for me for doing such things.

"Stop acting for fucks sake." he managed to push me away

"My daughter has suffered so much so why ?!" he was devastated.

Father I am too, devastated with her state right now...

"Father I swear I didn't pay anyone to do anything to her ! I may have been a reason of her leaving the damn country but it was because of another reason !" I exclaimed

"I swear, I love her. I really do. I've already lost her before all of this happened, so why would I do something even crueler than that ?!" I ended up breaking down

Thinking about it again, I'm such a trash that doesn't deserve somebody as good as her. She's such an angel, she's seriously out of my league.... I was blessed to have her in my life, but THIS happened.... She was taken away from me and I'm seriously in pain now. I deserved it I know, but who in the hell said such things to father ?!

My head was clouded by these thoughts. My tears were streaming down my cheeks. God... Why can't everything just turns back to normal... I wanna turn back time....
