Feel The Rhythm Of Love

Chapter 1 : Choi Dae-hyun

Dae was really excited to meet his father after so many years. Even if it was the weekend he got up early and got ready to meet his father.

"Dae, Where are going so early in the morning?"

"Just meeting someone."

"Where do you think you're going without having breakfast?"

"Don't worry I'll eat outside. I'll call ya mom. See you later."

"Don't run. Come back before lunch."

Dae runs out of their apartment in a hurry. He takes his skate bike and rides on it. He is really nervous. He goes inside the restaurant. After all these years he still recognizes his father. His mother had thrown away all the picture of his father, but he secretly kept a photo of him so that he can recognize him.

"Hello."
*Dae bows to his father*

"Yes?"

"Dad, it's me. Dae-hyun."

"Ah...my son. How are you? Come take a seat."

"I'm doing great, but..............."

"?"

"I missed you dad. Why did you have to leave me?"

"Look at you all grown up. I'm so happy to see you. Leaving you wasn't my choice my boy. But see I'm here now. Everything is going to be okay. You don't have to worry about a thing. Now what do you want to eat?"

"I'll just have Beef Gimbap."

**Gimbap, also romanized as kimbap, is a Korean dish made from cooked rice and ingredients such as vegetables, fish, and meats that are rolled in gim —dried sheets of seaweed—and served in bite-sized slices.**

"Than I'll have Kimchi Fried Rice. So, I heard you are training to be an idol?"

**Kimchi, is a traditional Korean side dish of salted and fermented vegetables, such as napa cabbage and Korean radish. A wide selection of seasonings are used, including gochugaru, spring onions, garlic, ginger, and jeotgal, etc. Kimchi is also used in a variety of soups and stews.**

"Ah...yes. It's been like 2 months."

"I see."

"You don't look so happy father?"

"How can I be happy when my only son, the hair to my company is ruining his life doing this nonsense."

"But dad, it's my dream."

"It's all because of that women. She's the one who encouraged you to do this, didn't she? I knew it. I shouldn't have let her have your custody."

"Why are you talking about mom like that? And no. It's not because of her. It was my choice."

"Listen carefully. Leave all these. You don't have to think about the contract termination, I'll take care of it. And come our company someday. I'll let you know whatever you need to know about publishing stuffs."
He hands over his business card to Dae.

"No. I won't. Did you just call me here to tell me this?"

"Kind of."

"Dad? Did you ever love me?"

"Stop being an emotional fool. And I've remarried, and you have a step-brother. He's 2 years younger than you. I'm making you an offer here, to be the next CEO of my company. But I see that you just want to waste your time on stupid things. Then, so be it. But if you change your mind, you know where to find me."

"....................."

"I'll go first. I've already paid for the food. So, eat before you leave. I'll eat in the car."

His father leaves him there totally broken. Dae was totally numb after that. He can't except the fact that, the person he waited to meet for years, turns out to be such a jerk. He asks the waiter to pack his food, he takes the food, calls his friend and asks him to come to the park.

"Dae? What happened? It seemed like you were about to cry there. I literally ran all the way here. Now tell me what happened? Did you meet your father? How was it?"

Dae starts to cry. And tells Jun-woo everything. He comforts Dae. Jun-woo Kim and Ha-jin Kang are Dae's two best friends.

"Hey. There you guys are. I looked for you guys all over the park. And here you two are. Hiding in a corner. Wait? Dae? You crying? Who made my bro cry?"

"Yah! Zip it. Let him eat first. I'll tell you later."

"I've the best way to hake him smile. let's go bike riding to the karaoke."

"Wat? Buik? Sit. My buik. I luft it at ta lestulant." (What? Bike? Sh*t. I left it at the restaurant.)

"Uh.......Dae? You okay man?"

Dae gulps down this food.
"I said I left my bike at the restaurant. And let's go to karaoke I need to fresh my mind. You guys go first. I'll get my bike than go there."

"Ok. But come fast."

I'm not the old Dae-hyun. I won't cry because of that man. He's not my father. From now on I know one think I don't have a father. My mom is my only parent.
