Chapter Four

The Instant Daddy

"Goodnight, baby. I love you so much." I tucked my son on his bed and pecked his forehead. 

"I love you too, mommy! I love you and daddy. Tell daddy I would be waiting for him. I really miss daddy." I could see longing and sadness in his eyes. Why does my son have to suffer? I hope there is a maching wherein you could transfer all the pain to someone; I would do it for Hyunsoo. I forced a smile at him, and nodded.

"Alright, baby. I will tell daddy to quickly come and Hyunsoo will be waiting him." I lied, again. How will I tell him to come back to us or even just for Hyunsoo to make up all his forgotten responsibilities as a father. I don't want to keep on lying and moreover, raise my son's hopes up when I know it's not going to happen.

I watched him hug a Mickey Mouse stuff toy to sleep. When Myungsoo and I were still together, I influenced him to like Mickey Mouse. I am obsessed with Mickey Mouse back then. I guess Hyunsoo got it from me and finally I could say he finally inherited something from me.

I went out from his room and went downstairs. My lips twitched into a smile when I saw Yonghwa oppa in the kitchen.

"Oppa!" I called out for him and went near him. He smiled at me, and I could still see nervousness and worried ness on his face. How did I know? He is my best friend, and he is the only person who understood and took care of me when I was pregnant with Hyunsoo. He knows my story too—I definitely trust him. 

"Hey, what's bothering you, oppa?" I asked worriedly as I went to get a glass of water. I heard him sigh in nervousness.

"I guess I should tell you it." He muttered but I could clearly hear what he said.

"Tell me what?" I asked. 

"H-Hyunsoo... M-Myungsoo... T-they m-met when w-we w-went s-shopping f-f-for g-groceries." I accidentally dropped the glass of water I was holding. My eyes widened in shock. It can't be. 

"No..." I mumbled quietly to myself.

"What happened? Tell me the whole story, oppa." I bit my nails in nervousness. My stomach tied into knots and gorillas were jumping crazily on my heart. 

"When Hyunsoo and I were shopping for groceries, there is a near toy section. Hyunsoo got attracted to it, and I didn't noticed he went away. I was really nervous and worried when I saw him he is not beside him. I went to search for him, and being the idiot I am, I didn't even think he would go to a toy section. All of a sudden, I saw a guy that resembles your son a lot in the toy section. I squinted my eyes and I saw a kid about Hyunsoo's height, and I went near them. I was so focused about the kid, and thankfully it's Hyunsoo. I didn't think he was talking to your ex-boyfriend, Myungsoo. I was really surprised when I saw his face..." He said nervously.

"L-look, I-I a-am sorry if I-I l-lost your s-son. I didn't m-mean it." He said sorry a lot and I know he meant it. Thank God Hyunsoo is fine. I would never afford to lose my only son.

"It's okay, oppa. Did you know what happened to them, and are you sure it is Kim Myungsoo?" I nervously asked.

"Hyunsoo told him he is his father, but Myungsoo denied he is not his father. I could see he is surprised when he saw Hyunsoo and told him he is his son." He told me calmly.

I broke into tears. I swore that I won't ever let my son feel hurt and rejected, but what happened? I am such an irresponsible mom. I don't want him to get rejected as I did. I don't want him to feel hurt and pain. I would take all the pain and sadness away from my child.  How could he? How could he  be an irresponsible father and reject his own son, or atleast wonder why he resembles him a lot. 

"He is such a jerk." I couldn't help the teara from stopping down from my eyes. It was too much to bear. If it's hurting me, how much would my son hurt if he knew his father left us? It's too much.

I felt someone pat my back. That 'someone' is surely Jung Yonghwa oppa, my best friend.  I wiped my tears even though tears wouldn't stop falling. A bitter smile was plastered on my face and I laughed crazily. For the past years, I were hoping he'd come back. But that wouldn't happen hearing him and our son meeting and he rejected him.

Even after all the heartaches and tears, I know that I still love him. Love is really like a war; once it started, it could never stop. You know you could never stop loving that one person who changed your life.

After what I've been through, I know I still love him. And in the future, I know I would still be loving him.

"H-hey, I've got to go, Seohyun. My mother texted me to go home but I could stay beside you until you calm down." He held my hands, and I couldn't help but to smile. If there are people who will leave you, then there is one person who wouldn't stop loving  toyou. 

"I will be fine, oppa. You could go. Thank you for today." I gloomily said. Honestly, I don't want him to go, but I don't wanna be selfish. 

He smiled at me and went away. I locked our house's door and went inside my room.

I bitterly smiled. 

"He came back..." I softly said and a mix feeling of anger, joy, and longing filled me. I didn't know what was I feeling.

Not only did my son saw his father, but I also did. It's like heaven and hell fell upon me when I saw him when I enrolled at their school. I didn't think I would see him there. I didn't think that there is a possibility that he would go there.

I saw him this morning, and I don't know if it's a coincidence because my son also saw him or fate bringing us together. But it could also be fate bringing us together to finish our "forgotten story" with tragedy. It's either we end up in a happy ever after or a tragedy.

Still, I am hoping we would finish our story with a happy ever after or atleast fake it for our child.
