"Riki-ah do you want to eat something?" His mother asked while Ni-ki stood there, not moving an inch, he didn't know what to do or say because he didn't expect his mother to ask him that, ever since he turned twelve he was cooking for himself, he expected his mother to be drawn to alcohol again, but she wasn't she was sober, she didn't even smell of alcohol and Ni-ki did find that unusual.
What is going ...on...?
"I'm not hungry yet, thanks, mom...." He shrugged while his mother nodded at him. "Okay, just tell me when you'll be hungry." She said and just like that she walked up to the oven, she was cooking soup and maybe chicken and rice, at least that was Ni-ki's guess. That was when he heard the door open, revealing his father with a smile on his face which did surprise him, not only that his father was smiling, but that he came back home on time.
I still do not understand,
I must be dreaming...
Ni-ki thought as he glanced down and decided to walk upstairs, to his bedroom, he needed time to process all of it, it wasn't even that he was unhappy with it, but it was weird. And just like that Ni-ki's father called out his name. "Riki-ah!?" Ni-ki immediately turned his head to glance at him, but he didn't reply, he was afraid to. "Can we talk...after lunch please...?" His father asked while Ni-ki glanced down for a second to think about it.
Should I?
Silence.
"Okay...father," Ni-ki replied while his father smiled at him. "Thank you." Ni-ki didn't know how to respond, so he out of nervousness turned around and walked upstairs as he intended to do.

"Riki...?" His father asked while Ni-ki felt his palms getting sweaty from nervousness. "Can I come in?" His father asked.
You never needed an invitation for that before, when you would start shouting at me...
Ni-ki thought to himself as he sighed and soon after that he replied. "Yes, father."
"I am sorry..." He said while Ni-ki widened his eyes at him. "I wasn't supposed to be such a terrible father and I know that my apologizing won't help you in any way, but I am trying to change, your mother is trying as well..." He said as he glanced down, while Ni-ki only listened. "That day, when I called Jongseong's mum, she told me some things and I was thinking about it..." He sighed. "You went missing for a week, I don't know where were you at that time because when I asked Jay about it, he didn't know as well nor did that Sunoo kid, and I was worried a lot..." His father confessed while Ni-ki felt the heaviness in his throat, he wanted to speak up, but he couldn't.
"And at that moment, I realized that I failed as a father..." He said as his eyes started getting teary, but Ni-ki remained silent, he didn't know how to respond. "Maybe, I had to realize it sooner, but I was dealing with some things at my workplace for years, and the loss of your sister-" His father stopped speaking as he glanced down trying to hide his tears. "my daughter got to me, it destroyed me..." He said while Ni-ki glanced down, he felt a dozen of emotions at once. "When your mom started drinking, I couldn't believe it and that angered me even more and I took that anger on you..." He sighed.
"I am so sorry for that, Riki-ah..." He sobbed while Ni-ki glanced at him for a second before he glanced away. "I need time..." Ni-ki said while his father nodded in response. "Take your time even if you do not forgive us, it's fine..." He said and soon after that he stood up and left Ni-ki alone.
I can't deal with
this right now...
Ni-ki said as his eyes got teary and just like that he started crying.
This is too
much for me...
