Landing Secrets

Coming home.

It's currently week 3 of Se-ri being gone. Father declared her death 6 days ago. Today is Christmas! And for this special day I'm back in England, away from the family drama and such.

My new products are launching every month, with December's being 'Beauty Kim' a clothing line in honor of Lia, along with 'Feglam' some new eyeshadow pallets with popping colors for festivities. 'Cadeaux Yoon' (French translation for Yoon's gifts) has been delayed until end of January just in time for Valentine's day.

I stayed in my home office isolated from everyone. I really haven't been feeling the whole festive happiness this year around. Lia invited me over to her house while Monica offered to come be with me for the holidays. I rejected both offers since it just doesn't feel right to celebrate anything when I don't know if my older sister is  okay, or if Captain Ri even made it from his injury.

*ring**ring*

I was startled picking up the phone.

"Yeoboseyo?" I looked at the caller i.d. seeing it was father.

"You better have a good reason for hiding the truth from me Yoon Ara. I am very disappointed in you" He sounded mad.

"It was only a matter of time before they told you father. I have my reasons for staying quite" I held my head in my hands.

"That's no excuse! Do you really prefer your sister dead? You're just like your brothers, only interested in our fortune no matter the cost"

"You really think of me so low right? That's why you'll always choose Seri over any of us? When Seri returns I hope you don't regret the words you've told me today" I sighed into the phone. I guess I really do only have mom as a parent. For some reason he's never liked me..

"Ara I don't know what to think anymore. Your brother Sehyung denies Se-ri is alive. You don't tell me she's alive and Sejoon is just waiting to get a share of the company. To me you're all the same. Only Se-ri has been true and honest"

I couldn't believe it. If there ever was a time of need father would have me thrown in jail.

"I'm sorry you feel that way Mr.Yoon. As you may know I am very busy with my own company and Seri's choice, therefore I will announce my leaving of the company today. As you said, I'm not fit for this job. I also will have my lawyers contact you to withdraw me from the Yoon inheritance" I tried my hardest not to break down in tears. The man I call for when I'm scared is him, when I have a problem I think of him, now I'm left with a bittersweet feeling of just the word 'dad'.

"Ara-" He tried speaking but I hung up.

I did what Se-ri would do, block him.

I got on the phone calling my lawyer teams, they agreed to work today. I, of course am paying them extra for working today, I feel bad but it's something I want done as soon as possible.

I wandered around the house looking for things to do. Nothing came to mind.

*ding dong*

I walked to the door, opening it.

"Eomma!" I jumped on my mom who held some grocery bags.

"How is my little baby?" She patted my back.

"Lonely, Christmas this year isn't worth it" I cried on her shoulder.

Mom has always preferred me over any of my siblings. Maybe that's why I do what I want, she's always there to support me, she's the only person besides Se-ri that I can always count on.

"It's okay dear, Eomma is here for you" she patted my head.

I finished crying, while she cooked a nice meal for us. We went out for a late stroll in the evening. England is magnificent in the winter!
