Detached | Seungjin

Twenty

"Right time, you say?" Jisung questioned with a smirk on his face.

Jisung found it interesting, honestly. How Hyunjin clenched his fist as he saw the same old familiar guy from the past five years.

Park Jihoon.

Park Jihoon had always been Hyunjin's rival, even when he was still courting Seungmin. Seungmin and Jihoon were friends, and Jihoon was in love with Seungmin, so it makes the situation harder for Hyunjin.

Jihoon almost stole Seungmin away from him, he almost made Seungmin his boyfriend. But of course, the Hyunjin from their high school would never let that happen, and definitely not again.

Jihoon immediately picked Minji up in his arms as the girl ran to him. He cooes at the little girl but then met eyes with a familiar person. His brows furrowed in anger, seeing his face again.

He was confused as well, so he looked over in Jisung's direction and they communicated using eye contact. Jihoon soon understood the situation and nodded.

"J-Jihoon? Y-You're back?" Seungmin questioned.

Jihoon gave him a smile, "Yes, Seungmin. Surprise?"

Seungmin smiled in return, "Welcome back, Jihoonie." He told him. "Oh— and this is Hyunjin." He said, pointing in Hyunjin's direction.

Jihoon puts Minji down and walked towards Hyunjin's direction, giving him a firm look as he takes out his hands to him. "Hyunjin, huh? I'm Park Jihoon."

Hyunjin returned the glare, taking Jihoon's hand and firmly gripping it, "Nice to meet you."

And there it was, the heated tension between them filled the room, leaving an awkward silence for all of them.

"Papa Jihoonie!"

But then the silence disappeared as Minji spoke. Hyunjin raised a brow, confused by what Minji just called Jihoon.

Seungmin palmed his forehead, "Minji, I told you to stop calling Jihoon your papa, he might not like it, you know?"

Jihoon chuckled, poking Minji's face, "I think it's fine to me."

Hyunjin was beyond confused, he was mad, honestly.

Jisung walked in his direction and muttered, "And that's why he's your rival."

Hyunjin raised a brow at him, "What do you mean?"

"Minji considers Jihoon as her papa since he and Seungmin used to spend a lot of time with her before he went to London."

"What?"

"Which basically means... Minji considers Jihoon as her father."

Now Hyunjin is definitely furious. He didn't like the idea of Minji thinking of someone else as her father. He is the father of Minji, Minji is his daughter. He should be the one Minji refers to as her father, not some other person. And definitely not Jihoon.

"Minji, guess what I bought for you," Jihoon said.

"A gift?!" Minji squealed.

Jihoon chuckled, raising a box of cake, "I bought you your favorite! Crepe cake!"

Minji's eyes lit up, "You did?! Thank you papa Jihoonie!"

Hyunjin feels degraded. The fact that his rival knows his daughter's favorite food makes him feel even more guilty. He's the father of this little girl, and yet he doesn't know anything about her.

Soon, they headed to the kitchen since Minji was too excited to even wait. While Minji was just innocently enjoying her crepe cake, there was a heated tension between the adults. Specifically, Hyunjin and Jihoon.

Jihoon suddenly dropped his fork and eyes Hyunjin, "Hyunjin, can we talk?"

"Sure," Hyunjin said unhesitatingly.

* * * * *

"Why the fuck are you back?" Jihoon questioned, crossing his arms. "You really had the nerve to show your face again after what you did?"

"I'm still the father of Minji, Park Jihoon."

Jihoon scoffed, "Wow, you even have the guts to say that? When you literally left Seungmin to take care of your daughter? You have no right to call yourself Minji's father, Hwang Hyunjin. You left Seungmin when he needed you the most."

"That's why I'm back, I'm here to make it up to them."

"Make it up to them? Are you fucking kidding me right now? You literally disappeared for five years. Seungmin almost—" He bits his lip, "He almost died because of you! You weren't there when Seungmin raised his daughter alone, you made him suffer, more than you can think of!"

"I know that."

"Then leave! You don't have the right to stay with Seungmin!"

"No, they're still my family."

Jihoon huffed in disbelief, "Unbelievable."

"Well if you'll excuse me—"

"Not so fast, Hwang."

"What else do you want?"

Jihoon walked closer to him, "I was by Seungmin's side when you left. You heard it yourself, right? The daughter you claimed called me her papa... which means she considers me as her father."

"But you're not her father."

"And so? It's the thought that counts, Hwang Hyunjin. I was the one who took care of them when you fucking left."

"That doesn't change the fact that you're not her father."

Jihoon smirked at him, "It doesn't matter. Because soon, I'll be the one marrying Kim Seungmin and be Minji's father."

Hyunjin couldn't hold his anger, he grabbed Jihoon by the collar and eyed him with such furious eyes, "Shut your fucking fucked up mouth, Park Jihoon. You are not getting Seungmin."

Jihoon scoffed, "Yeah, sure. You don't have to say that. Seungmin is not yours, after all."

"He is, and I will claim him back."

"You left, remember? You were the one who let go of Seungmin. You're the one at fault."

"Shut the fuck—"

"Just accept the reality, Hwang Hyunjin. Kim Seungmin is no longer yours... and will never ever be yours again. Now that I'm back, he won't ever need to waste his time with someone like you again, someone who broke his heart so much."

Hyunjin scoffed, "And you think that's gonna work on me?" He firmly lets go of Jihoon's collar and clicked his tongue, "Because I'm telling you, it's gonna be me. I'm going to get Kim Seungmin back."
