CHAPTER 23

Fireworks
Krystal's engagement will be the day after tomorrow, i told her i will attend but i wont take long instead Jungyeon will be there in my stead. Oppa has been gone for three days, he took a leave and I'm missing him so much, I've been so tired the past three days and without him makes it worse, he said that he just have to arrange a few things with his family and since I'm busy, i didn't bother to ask why. The company is getting chaotic by the second, the stock holders had started to doubt Dad about the missing funds so we now have to prove Dad's name innocent apart from solving the missing funds... Sigh. How i wish to go back to who i used to be... "Seungyeon ah... I'll go to the office, come later." Dad's words before he left this morning, I'm getting ready to go to the office. I texted Krystal. "Hey, do you have any news about our company? I think Dad isn't telling me about something, all i know is that they are blaming Dad for the problem." "What i heard from my father is that someone stole the funds, not really sure if its your father or someone else, but the board of directors are wanting to replace your father since stock holders are pulling out. Mark also told me that he heard some board of directors planning to strike just to replace your father." My knees felt weak, my Dad is such a good person, how can they blame this on him??? I took a deep breath, being weak doesn't help right now. "Thanks. Sorry i havent been the best friend you need right now. I'll still attend the engagement" "I know you're having a harder time than me. I understand. Be strong." "Thanks." I went to the office and when i arrived to the meeting it was over, only Mr. Lee and my Dad was left in the room. "Oh, Seungyeon ah. You're here, you better your father home. I think he is not feeling well." Mr. Lee said while smiling at me, tapping my back and went out. My eyes grew big. When the door closed and Dad and i was left, he was just sitting on the chair, his hands on his forehead, with his eyes closed. I kneeled next to him and asked him if he was fine. "Everything is gone Seungyeon ah." Dad breathed every word, you can feel the pain in each word he let out. "What happened Dad?" I asked, still kneeling in front of him, he opened his eyes and looked at me. "They have replaced me. They blamed me for stealing Seungyeon ah, they found another account on my name that i didn't know about." Dad cried and seeing him cry tears me apart, i fought my tears back. "Account? Someone set you up? How can they replace you? What will happen Dad?" If they blame him for stealing, he could get imprisoned right? No, i cant let that happen. "Seungyeon ah." Dad looked at me straight in the eye "You have to take care of your sister. Go back to your Omma and Appa arasso?" Dad said while rubbing my arms. Trying to comfort me, tears have started to fall and i cant look at Dad. He tries to stop himself from crying but it only makes it harder for the both of us. "Tomorrow morning, the police might come to our house, i want you to be gone tonight, take Jungyeon with you and grab everything you need, tell your Omma and Appa that I'm so sorry to treat you this way." "Dad...please... Let me help, i might be able to find answers." I cried, i cant let my family be like this. "No Seungyeon ah. For now just do what i say arasso? You have to go -- now. Before the media gets here, my daughter...please" he tried to stand me up but i kept on saying no, that i'll stay. "Gong Seungyeon. Stand up and go home, I'm telling you as your father." Dad's voice was firm, the first time i heard it, very different from the Dad i have, his voice ordering me made my eyes grew big and my body automatically followed his order. "Go now. I just have something to do here. You go home first and get your things." Dad stood up and fixed his coat. He kissed my forehead and tapped me on the shoulder. He went put of the room and i was left alone, shaking, crying, feeling faint. I took out my phone and dialled Oppa's number *sorry the number you dialled is out of coverage area, please try again later* "Oppa, i need you-- please answer the phone" i breathed, holding the phone as if its my last hope on living. I tried dialing his number again and again but it failed. I sat on the chair and cried, suddenly my phone rang, hoping it was oppa but when i looked at the ID it was Krystal. I answered. "Hey, i just heard. Where are you?" Her voice is very worried. Still crying, i answered her I'm in the office and told her everything Dad had told me. "Stay there, i'll come and pick you up. Arasso? Wait for me there." I said ok and she hung up and i kept on crying. Minutes later i heard a ruckus outside of the room and when i opened the door i saw Dad and Mr. Lee punching each other and the staff trying to break them apart, my feet moved on its own and ran towards them, i kept on shouting "Dad! Stop" but my voice was just drowned from the curses Dad and Mr. Lee throws at each other. Someone grabbed me from the back and i was shocked, the someone dragged me away from the crowd and i kept on screaming, when we were away from the crowd i saw Krystal and i froze, it was Mark who grabbed me and the moment he let go of me, my knees gave up. I slumped on the ground and Krystal hugged me, we saw Mark running towards the crowd and grabbed Mr. Lee and the staff grabbed Dad, then Mr. Lee punched Mark and Mark let go of him, Mr. Lee fixed his coat and wiped the blood from his lips and went away. Dad was helped by the staff to the room where i came from. Mark went to us, Krystal stood up and asked if he was fine and wiped the blood in his lips. Mark smiled at her and helped me up. I stood up. "Are you alright?" Mark asked me while supporting me in the arms. "I think we should go now, Oppa, lets take her home." Krystal said and they supported me out towards the parking lot, media has started to gather and bodyguards were around us three, including Krystal's bodyguard, Minhyuk. My thoughts shifted to Oppa. We got in the car and Mark drove, Krystal in the front seat and they let me cry on the back. I took my phone and texted Oppa. "Oppa, everything is a mess here. I need you, please.... Please call me" i sent. We arrived at our house and it seems like the house staff was already informed, they moved very fast at opening doors and assisting us. Krystal asked for an ice pack for Mark from Lady Oh and Mark smiled at Krystal. Before Lady Oh can go to the kitchen i asked her where Jungyeon is. "Miss Jungyeon is in her room miss, she just heard the news. " Lady Oh bowed and went to the kitchen. I looked at Krystal and Mark. "Thank you... " i said to Mark and Krystal, they nodded and told me to go to Jungyeon. When i left, Krystal and Lady Oh attended to Mark's wounds. I knocked on Jungyeon's door and when she heard my voice i can hear her footsteps running towards the door, she opened it and her face was red and she was crying, she threw her arms at me and i hugged her, and my tears gushed out. After a few minutes i told her that she needs to pack, she had a hard time to understand and process everything but i told her to just pack what she needs and that i'll come back later. I wiped her tears and tucked a hair on her ears and told her to be strong and everything will be fine. I went out of her room and headed towards mine, the moment i closed the door my body turned to jello, i knelt on the floor and i cant cry anymore, it seems im out of tears, i just stared at my room. What happened ? Why is dad getting blamed for something he didnt do? Why did Dad and Mr. Lee fight? What will happen to my family? Where is Oppa? What am i gonna do? *kring kring* The sound of my phone broke my thoughts, someone is calling me. I searched for my phone in my purse. When i saw the ID i immediately answered. "Oppa--" ------------ Hi! Forgive me for not updating for a while, classes had started and been very busy... Im really really really really sorry, hope you can all forgive me and stay with me on the story :)
