What if LoveHappy 7th Anniversary to Red Velvet đđđđđ

Â
Â
Seungwan enters her apartment, Sooyoung is once again held up by Joohyun for a student council meeting. She wanted to wait for her girlfriend but Sooyoungâs order, and also because she thought about cooking dinner for her Sooyoungie. She went home ahead without much argument.
Â
Seungwan furrows her brows when she smelt something, like someone is cooking. Then her sight landed on a pair of menâs shoes on the foyer. âDad?â
Â
Papa Son walks out from the kitchen wearing an apron and a spatula in hand. âSeungwan-ahâ he approaches his daughter and gives her a big bear hug.
Â
âWhy are youâ I mean, why didnât you call?â
Â
Papa Son beams. âIâm here for a business trip. I wasnât planning on staying long but my flight got moved to tomorrow afternoon. So, surpriseâ
Â
âYou shouldâve called meâ Seungwan whines as she follows her father back to the kitchen. âI couldâve gotten home earlyâ
Â
âAh itâs okayâ Papa Son waves his hand dismissively. âItâs not a surprise if I called you. Whereâs Sooyoung by the way?â Seungwan hops on the stool while her father returns to cooking. âCall her, tell her to drop by. Letâs have dinner togetherâ
Â
âSheâll be here. Sooyoung usually sleepover during the weekendsâ
Â
The stirring of the pot stops, Papa Son looks back at his daughter, hands on his waist. âSo, you two are living together during the weekend?â
Â
Seungwan swallowed the lump on .
Â
How could she forget that her parents, also Sooyoungâs parents, don't know about their little arrangement of Sooyoung staying with her every weekend.
Â
âShe just sleeps over during the weekendsâ
Â
Papa Son nodded then went back to cooking. âI trust that Sooyoungâs parents know about this?â
Â
Seungwan stays mum.
Â
Papa Son sighs. âSeungwan-ahâ Seungwan flinches. She doesnât like that tone. âJust because her parents like you, it doesnât mean you can go around playing house with Sooyoungâ
Â
âItâs just during the weekends, dadâ
Â
âEven soâ Papa Son looked at Seungwan again, eyes soft but stern. âI assume she doesnât sleep in the spare room when she sleeps over?â
Â
Seungwan slowly shakes her head.
Â
Papa Son look at his daughter straight in the eyes. He concedes. âYou and Sooyoung are both old enough. Just remember that your mom and I really like Sooyoung, and itâs obvious that her parents like you as well. So, donât mess it up, okay?â
Â
Seungwan nods. âI wonât. I told you, I donât see my future without Sooyoungâ
Â
âI trust youâ Papa Son smiles. âTell me about the yacht date, did she like it?â
Â
âShe loved itâ Seungwan beams.
Â
âThatâs goodâ Papa Son returns to cooking. âtell me everythingâ
Â
Seungwan is almost done telling their yacht story to her father when Sooyoung arrives.
Â
âSeungwan-ah what did you cooâ dad?â Sooyoung stops on her tracks. She immediately bows. âGood eveningâ
Â
Papa Son smiles. âHello Sooyoungâ he motions his hand for Sooyoung to sit. âCome join us. I cooked dinnerâ
Â
The table had been set and the father-daughter were just waiting for Sooyoung to arrive so they could have dinner together.
Â
âHow are you, dad?â Sooyoung asks as she sits down on Seungwanâs right.
Â
âIâm alright. Iâm sorry I came unannouncedâ
Â
âThatâs okayâ Sooyoung smiles. âBut you shouldâve called. Seungwan couldâve fetched youâ
Â
âThatâs what I saidâ Seungwan mumbles, mouth full of food.
Â
Papa Son messes Seungwanâs hair. âI just want to surprise my daughter, but I was the one who got surprised insteadâ he smirks.
Â
Sooyoung avoided eye contact because she knew what Papa Son was talking about. And Seungwan avoiding eye-contact with her confirms everything.
Â
âIâm not against it, Sooyoungâ Papa Son clarifies. âJust make sure to use protectionâ
Â
Seungwan chokes on her food while Sooyoungâs cheeks reddened.
Â
Papa Son laughs and eats his food. âOh, Seungwan before I forgetâ he pats his blazer that was draped over his chair. He took a white envelope from the pocket.
Â
Seungwan furrows her brows. âWhat is this?â
Â
âOpen itâ Papa Son urges with a smile on his face.
