Veintiséis: Ten Ok Sung

Unedited:

Ok Sung's POV:

After I left Namjoon hyung and Jin hyung I raced out there. There's a someone special I need to meet on this day.

I stop by a convenience store and grab a couple of beers. Before I take a bus to my destination, I buy a couple of white flowers.

On my arrival I place them next to her photo frame. I slouch against her and sit down after opening up a beer can and placing it next to the flowers.

“Eomma, I found a very nice guy, I fell for him too- not SeokJung hyung, someone else. If you saw him you'd love him as well. But he's taken and while that hurts, I find myself being okay with it.”

I remember my childhood love triangle. I liked SeokJung hyung and he liked Minjee noona. He doesn't know though. 

I take a sip of my beer and emit a sound of satisfaction at the now semi cold beer, “Maekju on a day like this! I thought of bringing fried chicken, I know how much you loved this combination but it would all become cold.” I chuckle bitterly.

Suddenly I'm aware of a presence, I look up to see my father standing with beer and fried chicken in two bags.

“I was just finishing up” I stand and bow indicating that I'll be leaving.

“No!” he says to suddenly making my head snap up.

“Stay, please.” his voice, a whisper.

On seeing my arched eyebrow, he lifts the bags up with a shrug, too much chicken to eat alone.

I scoff lightly, “Why did you buy so much?” but sit down nevertheless.

He places a piece next to the beer for my mother while handing me a box.

After being a couple of beers down, the conversation flows.

“Ok Sung~ah,” he says finally making me look up.

“I know you don't want to but just hear me out. I am not asking for your forgiveness, I probably don't deserve it. But I just want to make certain things clear.”

He takes my silence as permission to continue.

“I never meant to hurt you. I had such expectations of my son that when you acted against those expectations I didn't think to ask “What's wrong?” I just flipped in anger with denying hurt that our son, your mother and I being the kind of people we are would have a child that goes against social norms. Engages into fights like a thug and not just in school, does drugs, violates traffic signals. My son who always aced every subject, sport and extra curricular activity suddenly fell into “wrong company” and even then it didn't occur to me-”

He sobs, then clears his throat and continues, “that I should probably talk to you. I thought you were rebelling as a teen senselessly and that would change after a point. But when it didn't it only angered and saddened me further. I would like to apologise to you, to your mother for everything. I failed as a parent to you. I didn't make you feel like you could depend on me. With Jinnie, I considered him to be too weak to do this on his own, but with you I don't know why since forever I thought you were too strong and independent. But that doesn't mean that you weren't a child. If you allow it, I would like to work on our relationship, if not I'll leave you alone. You're my only son and family. I don't want to be on bad terms with you. I sincerely apologise for all that I've put you through. It won't happen again. You will be my number one priority. Actually you always were, I just did a poor job showing you that you are.

You can take you're time to think about what I said. I ask for your forgiveness but I don't expect you to forgive me. I am truly sorry. ”

Tears threaten to fall. I quickly gulp more beer.
