Meet the parents.

Am I Good Enough Now?

YOUR POV

I stretched in the practice room as I waited for Ilhoon to come, should I act like I not know anything? Or should I ask him about it..

"So I guess you do her? Can I know more about her?"

Hyunsik gave me an uncertain look, before opening his mouth.

"I....Well.. I... she...... I'm sorry Yeon Seo ssi. If I told you anything, Ilhoon might take my life, literally." Hyunsik shrugged.

I pouted. "Fine then." I turned around and left but Hyunsik said one last thing, "If you're the one he will tell it to you." 

What does Hyunsik mean? And why do I want to know so badly? It irks and bugs me so much that he still thinks about her.. why?

"YAAAAA!" I fell forward and landed with a thud, after getting a big kick in the . I turned around and glared.

"JUNG ILHOON!" I snapped.

"YOU DON'T "JUNG ILHOON" ME I HAVE BEEN CALLING YOU FOR SO LONG??" He retorted back.

I shrugged.

"Okay, let's start practicing." I got on my feet and walked towards the sound player when Ilhoon grabbed my wrist.

"Let's not practice today." I turned around and raised one brow at him.

"What?"

"Are you deaf I said let's not practice today!" He picked up my bag and his, "Come on let's go!"

He skipped out of the practice room, WHAT WAS HE THINKING?! I chased after him.

"YAH! Jung Ilhoon!!! Where are you going!" 

Ilhoon hailed a cab by the road, opening the door.

"Are you coming?!"

"We NEED to practice!"

"I have your bag~~~~" He waved my bag in the air.

"Oh alright ugh." I scowled before stepping into the taxi, Ilhoon got in after and shut the door.

"Ahjussi! Trip to Dong Dae Mun please!" Ilhoon beamed as the driver gave us a nod.

We sat in silence as the cab brought us to Dong Dae Mun. We never seemed to be getting there, the road seemed to be long.

Soon, my eyelids gave in and fell shut, my head unknowingly resting on Ilhoon's soft shoulder.

"Yeon Seo ah.." Ilhoon gently shook my shoulder, causing me to jump and sit up immediately.

"Oh man I fell asleep?" I brushed down my hair with my hands quickly, embarrassed. 

"Yes, extremely soundly. Come on we're here, let's go!" He took my hand and we walked the streets of Dong Dae Mun.

"Ilhoon ah, why did you bring me here..?"

"Oh.. right.. I heard from Hyunsik Hyung.. you.. took care.. of me.. when.. I fainted... so I wanted to.. say thank you..."

"Here..?" I looked around at the especially high-class looking street he brought us to.

"Well, there was this shop where I loved their pastries but I can't seem to find it..... AH ITS HERE!!!" He had a big smile on his face and he dragged me along into the shop.

It was a really cute place, the walls were a light shade of pink, and it all just made one feel really comfortable.

We took a seat at the corner of the shop, "So, what do you wanna eat!" Ilhoon asked me.

"Anything you have, I never been here before!"

"Hey thats no fun. Hmm favourite flavour?"

"Strawberry!"

"Alright-o!! Ahjumma!!" Ilhoon called out, and a lady in her mid-40s came to us all smiles.

"Oh? Ilhoon ah! Its been a while!!" She smiled as she pat Ilhoon's bangs.

"I know right, I've been so busy!!" Ilhoon fake sobbed, well they were friendly.

"Now, who's this pretty young lady?" She turned to me and my eyes widened, "Oh.. I.. um.."

"She's a friend ahjumma! A F R I E N D."

She gave Ilhoon a wink, "Whatever you say Ilhoon ah, so what would you like to order?" 

"One Strawberry mousse Cake and 2 Crème brûlées, and One Chocolate Decadance cake, my usual!!" He said as he handed her the menus, "Your order will arrive soon!" the ahjumma grinned before walking off.

"How do you know her Ilhoon.. you must come here often.."

"This place.. well I always come here when I need time alone, to think. Don't you find this place calming?" Ilhoon inhaled and exhaled deeply. "No one else knows about this place, its far from where CUBE is so no one comes here. Its like my secret stress reliever."

"And you brought me here?" 

"Well, yes. I wanted to share this place with you. Whenever you feel like you want to break away from everything else, you can always come here."

"Well what makes you think I have.. problems?" I raised my head from poking my straw into my coffee.

"Hmm. You'll need it." He smiled.

"I'm going to the washroom!" He got up and left, what did he mean?

"Your food's here!" The ahjumma returned and served our food, they looked really good.

"Oh? Where's Ilhoonie?" 

"He went to the washroom." I replied with a smile.

"You're sure one special girl," The ahjumma said as she placed down the food, "Ilhoon hasn't came here with a girl ever since... "

"Ever since?"

"Nothing. Treat him right darling, he's a good boy that's been through a lot." She smiled at me.

"Wait what do you mean by-"

"Oh! The food's here!" Ilhoon returned from the washroom.

Way to go Ilhoon.

'Eat it well Ilhoon ah!" The ahjumma pat Ilhoon's head before leaving.

Ilhoon excitedly digged into his food, but I just stared at him. That stupid chick? And that Eunji girl? Can it be a link?

"What are you doing? Aren't you gonna eat?" Ilhoon shook me out of my thoughts.

"Oh.. oh yeah.. right.." I started to eat my food.

"SAY AHHHHHHHH." Ilhoon scooped a mouthful of his cake and placed it infront of me.

I slowly opened my mouth and ate it, looking at him warily, but this didn't seem weird to him at all.

"Isn't it tasty? This is my favourite!"

I nodded, it did taste really good.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We left the shop, strolling around the streets of Dong Dae Mun once again, now both of us extremely full.

"I feel like rolling around I'm so full!!!" Ilhoon pat his stomach as he said.

I couldn't help but laugh, "I'd like to watch you do that!!"

"Maybe we should, there's barely anyone here anyways!" 

I looked around, it was true there was barely anyone here as compared to the other side of the street, in fact, we were amongst really tall buildings, of big companies I supposed.

I looked at the building we were infront of, "Park Industries." Why did that name sound so familiar?

"Ilhoon ah, what is 'Park Industries'?" I asked, staring at the logo resting right in the middle of the building.

"Oh, you know about them? This is the biggest engineering company in Korea, I heard that the couple that owns this company are one of the richest companies in the world..." 

Just then, the doors of the company building slid open, and a lady in her mid-50s came out.

My eyes widened.

"M..mom......" Tears couldn't help but water in my eyes.

She was about to enter a car.

"OMMA!!!" I shouted really loudly.

The lady turned around in astonishment, her face written with confusion and shock.

I was about to walk up to her when Ilhoon pulled me back, "Ya what are you doing!"

I pushed his arm away and ran forward.

"Omma its me, Yeon Seo.. Do you remember me? Its me!! Yeon seo!!!" I cried as I tried to grab her hands, but my whole body was shaking.

"Who is this?" I turned around, and there stood him.

"A..appa.... appa....." I walked towards him.

"Its me.. Yeon Seo.. Your daughter? I'm your daughter? Do you remember me?" I cried as I hugged him.

But he pushed me away and gave me a look of disgust. "My suits are expensive don't stain them with your tears." 

He shook his head before walking towards mom.

"I'm sorry miss, but we don't have any daughter. If you lost your parents, you look old enough to raise yourself, if not go to an orphanage." 

"Appa......" I cried as he entered the car.

"You. You little piece of trash, after 10 years you came back?" My mom said, crossing her arms.

"You.. you do remember me!! Omma!!" I was about to step forward and hug her but she took two steps back.

"Why did you? We're doing fine without you. If you ran away, keep things that way. We don't need trash like you in out lives." With that, she entered the car, that zoomed off and went out of sight in a blink of an eye.

I fell to my knees, tears uncontrllably falling. After 10 years, I get another cold slap in the face that I was trash.

"Y.. yeon seo..?" Ilhoon bent down to my level and wrapped his arms around me.

"I..I.."

"Its okay don't say anything. Anything at all." He pat my hair as I dug my head into his chest.

After a while, I pushed myself away from him. 

"I..I'm sorry." I choked out. "I think I should go." 

I turned and walked off, I didn't know where I was going or where I was in the first place. The only thing that could flash in my mind was how unwanted I was, by my own parents. After so many years.

I hailed a cab and got on "Ahjussi, Chungdam Dong street building 9A please." I said softly.

All I wanted to do was to go home.

I paid the taxi driver the cab fee, and opened the door of the cab. 

"Miss, are you alright?" I turned around at the ahjussi that was looking at me with concern.

"Yea Ahjussi, I'll be okay." I smiled.

"Stay strong Miss, I know you can."

I walked back home, he's right, I can be strong. I have always been, why am I breaking now? I tried to wipe my falling tears.

"Yeon Seo?"

I turned around and...
