After thinking carefully, I decide to continue update on this book. The recent issue make me think that, no matter what, SEULRENE is HOME. There will be no new ship/pair for now

With love, Mulgokizary

Kang residence

Kang Seulgi and his wife, Irene Bae have breakfast with their four years old daughter, Seulgi Jimin or Karina. The little girl eating her favorite sandwich while watching cartoon on her mom’s Ipad while the elder having casual talk

"Hyun, where is Yerim?" Seulgi asking

"She still sleeping but I guess she wake up now" Irene answered while wiping Karina lips with napkin

"Did she come home late again last night?"

"Yes" Irene sighs heavily "I don't know what else I should do. She is so stubborn. I knew she hangouts at her friend house but it not nice when she come home late"

Seulgi caressed his wife's shoulder "Baby, don't be sad. I will talk to her later"

"I don't know if she will listen to you"

"At least I try, isn't it?"

"Mommy, I want milk" little Karina said while hold up her bunny mug

"Sorry baby, mommy forgot to fill your drink" Irene giggles and fill the mug with warm milk "Here you go"

"Thank you, mommy"

"Drink carefully baby" Seulgi said to his daughter

"Okay daddy"

Later, 18 years old girl comes to dining table and sits on the empty chair

"Good morning, mama"

"Morning baby, eat your breakfast"

"Okay" the girl answer with straight face

After the girl finish eating, Seulgi decide to ask her question regarding the topic that he talk with his wife earlier

"Yerim..." Seulgi was cut off by the girl who glare at him

"Yeri"

"Alright Yeri, sorry" Seulgi grabbed Irene's hand to calm her down when he saw Irene want to say something "Yeri, where are you going last night?"

"Why do you want to know?" Yeri reply coldly

"Just answer properly, can you?" Irene almost losing her patience

"I'm going to my friend's house. Is there any problem with you?"

Seulgi smiled as usual "I don't have any problem with that but don't come home late. It's danger for a girl in your age"

"At least I come home, right?" Yeri smirk

"I know but safety first"

Yeri groans in annoyance "Mom, I go out now and don't expect me to come home early" she grabs her jacket and pecks her mom's cheek. Irene is boiling in anger but Seulgi calms her down. Yeri spoke again before she left the place "You don't have to care about me, just take care of this little brat. She is your daughter, not me"

"Yerim is too much!" Irene balled her fist

"Baby, calm down"

"How can I calm down, Kang Seulgi? Don't you hear what she just said? She calls Karina a little brat and she disrespect you. I never raise her to be disrespectful"

"Don't worry, one day she will realize what she did is wrong. For now we just keep our eyes on her, okay?"

"I really done with her attitude" Irene said dejectedly and she sobbing

"Don't cry, I will make sure everything will be fine. I believe that she will not do something stupid even if she treats me coldly. She is good daughter"

Irene wiping her tears "I'm glad that you never give up on her"

"She is our daughter and it never come across my mind to treat her badly"

"Thank you honey, for everything" Irene holding Seulgi hand

"Honey, stop saying thank you for those things. It has been five years yet you still repeating it"

"I am just grateful that you treat me and Yerim well and shower us with your endless love even though Yerim never acknowledges it. She never see you as her father and never treat Karina like her sister even they come from same womb"

"One day, we will be as happy as the other family. Don't be sad, okay?" Seulgi cupped Irene face

"Okay baby" Irene locked her eyes with Seulgi

They are distracted by little Karina who comes to Irene and climbs on her lap "Mommy, why are you crying?"

"No baby, mommy is not crying"

"Your eyes watery" Karina poking Irene wet cheek

"It's just dust in my eyes. Mommy not crying"

"Okay mommy" Karina nods her head

"You go to the living room with daddy. Mommy wants to clean dishes, okay?"

"Okay mommy"

"Come little girl" Seulgi lift up his daughter to his arm and they head to living room

............................

Yeri laze on the couch while scrolling through her phone when her sister climb and sit beside her

"Unnie~"

"Emm" Yeri hummed irritatingly

"Mommy and daddy bought new toys for me. Can you play with me?"

"No, go play alone"

"Unnie please" Karina shake Yeri arm

"Karina! Just go play somewhere else and don't disturb me!" Yeri yell at the little girl

Karina eyes teary as she scold by her sister "Sorry...unnie"

"Go now!"

Karina left upstairs disappointedly while Yeri continue with what she do

............................

Yeri and her friend hangout at the café as usual. Her friend, Joy announce that she will held birthday party at the club and she invite the girls to come

"Of course I will come" Lisa said excitedly

"Joy, do you invite DJ too?" Rose asking

"Of course, it will not happening without DJ" said Joy with smirk

"Which DJ will come?"

"DJ Hyo, the most sought after DJ in our country"

"Wow, daebak. I will come, don't worry" Rose confirmed

"I heard it's hard to invite her because she travel most of the time and her schedule is pack" Yeri said

"You're right, luckily my cousin is her close friend so it's easy to deal with her. Besides, she is free this weekend" Joy said

"Hey Yerm, are you coming this weekend?" Lisa tilt her head to face Yeri

"Joy unnie will upset if you not coming" Rose added

Yeri chuckle "I will come no matter what"

"What if your mom does not allow it?"

"Aishh, I used to sneak out a lot so it's easy" Yeri shrugged her shoulder

"Why you not just move out from your family house?" Joy asked

"You know my mom will not allow me to stay alone. I still a little kid to her"

"What about your father?" Lisa asked

"Hey, he is not my father. My father is Kim Taeyeon not Kang Seulgi"

"Sorry, my bad" Lisa apologize

"It's okay"

"Why can't you still accept him as your father?" Joy asked curiously

"I don't know unnie. I hate the fact that my mom is leaving my dad for him. It's true that he is a good person but I still can't deal with it. I love my dad and I miss him but I can't even meet with him. Mama filed restriction order on him so that he not comes to see me" Yeri said sadly

"Aigoo, we're sorry to hear that" Rose rubbed Yeri back softly

"It's hurt so much unnie but I promise to myself that one day I will go to find papa even I don't know where is him now"

"We hope all the best for you" the older girls said

"Thanks unnie"

.................................

Irene busy cooking at the kitchen when her daughter approaching her

"Mama"

"Yes Yerimie"

"I will stay at Joy unnie house tonight. She throws birthday party"

"Okay but make sure to take care of yourself, alright?"

"Alright mom" Yeri smile happily

"Good"

"Okay, I'm leaving now mama"

"Drive safely"

"Alright"

Irene continued cooking again after her daughter left the house. Few minutes later, Seulgi arriv
