Chapter 8 (1/1)
Himchan unlocked the front door of his house, loosing his tie he entered the house. Turned the lights on, finding his step-mother and his father sitting at the sofa, waiting for him, he assumed."Himchan, we need to talk to you." His step-mother said bitterly.Himchan walked slowly and sat in front of them on the couch. "Then say it.""First of all: It's 2' in the morning, what were you doing?!" The lady raised her voice, Himchan's father just stood there, looking at his own feet, guilty consuming him."I was at a friend's house, okay?" He said nonchalantly."Is your friend a boy? Himchan, are you gay?" She asked, Himchan felt his pride being punched."I am not gay." Himchan got angry."You're turning 23 soon and I've never seen you bring another girl home besides that... What was her name? Kathleen? Katrina? Karoline?...And she was not even a girl, I swear she was a boy!" Mr. Kim saw his son getting even more angry as his wife talked about Katherine. "So, that's why we decided that you're getting married to the daughter of one of our partners!" She clapped her hands together. Homchan took a deep breath."No. I'm not." He said calmly."Yes, you are. Don't try to run away from your responsibilities, boy. Your sister married that man at your age, she didn't even complain, she always thought about the company." "No. I'm not." He got up. "You're not even my mother, you can't force me to do it." They both were startled, no matter what happened, what she did to him, Himchan never spoke those words. He always accepted her, not as a mother, but as his father's wife, as long as his old man was happy he would accept."That's enough. I said that I didn't agreed." His father was the first to say something."But, darling he-""Stop thinking about yourself!" The old man raised his voice. "Let the boy live his own life for God's sake!" Mr. Kim was talking to his son, he needed to clarify the things before his son hated him."Do you know why I don't just divorce?" The man took a sip of his beer."Why?" Himchan asked."Because she's pregnant. And you definitely don't leave a pregnant woman." That statement made Himchan think about Katherine, she was left alone while pregnant, no it was worse, her husband knew she was carrying their child and he dumped her. Thinking about it would just make him angrier."Father. Do you know that Katherine's husband cheated on her when she was pregnant?" The older man looked startled. "K-Katherine is married?""Divorced. She was ditched and had to raise a son by herself." "Katherine is a mother?""Yeah, I was at her house earlier... It must be hard for her to raise a son by herself." He took a sip of his beer."It is. When your mother died, I was alone, with a teenager and 2 little kids." "Mother made have hard times, huh?""But you know, when you graduated, I couldn't say 'I did it.' to her. Sincerely I think I failed as a father." The old man sobbed silently."Why do you think that? You have a beautiful wife, children that are grown ups already, a teenager and a future child waiting to be born." Himchan consoled his father."How much memories of us playing together do you have? Do you remember of me teaching you how to shave? How to play football? Or walking your sister to prom? Watching football with you and your brother? I'm a failure!" He cried."But I remember of us fishing at Daehyun's parents house in Busan. I remember of you playing football with me and Katherine. I remember when my sister was pregnant and you took her to shop for baby clothes. When Junghyun won that match, you were there to congratulate him. You were the one to walk Hyesoo to the aisle. You were the first person to hold your grandchild. You definitely are a good father." Mr. Kim hugged his son affected by his words. Himchan was the best son a father could wish for. ✮✮✢✮✮ Katherine woke up, fighting to keep her eyes open, she smiled when she saw herself in the bed instead of the balcony were she fell asleep yesterday and saw a football uniform hanged on the wardrobe with a post-it sticked on it. Himchan, she immediately thought.She covered her son properly with the blanket and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for him. Her phone rang, reading the ID 'Jerk' she answered."Hey, Himchan." She greeted him."Wow, I guess someone is in a good mood today." He annoyed her, as always. "Don't forget, Seolchan have football in... 1 hour and half." He said with a smile looking at his watch."Well, Mr. Kim, I'm afraid that he can't make it. Since he's asleep and it takes a 40 minutes walk til the school." She poured the boiling water in the strainer, watching the drops of coffee falling into the coffee pot."Well, he will make it. Open the door." Right after he said the last part, the doorbell rang, Katherine opened it, finding Himchan holding a box of a bakery, she couldn't help but smile, such a cliché."Oh, hello. Can I help you?" She acted like she didn't knew him."I have an appointment with Mr. Seolchan." He played along."Right, Mr. Seolchan will see you in a minute." They both laughed a little, Himchan entered and went straight to the bedroom. After a few minutes they both came out, the kid had a grumpy face on, making Kate chuckle.She poured two cups of coffee and hot chocolate for Seolchan, Himchan took 3 cupcakes of the box and gave one to Seolchan. The little boy's eyes seemed to twitch, the cupcake was just like his great grandma used to make. Katherine caressed his hair as he ate happily. After they were finished with breakfast, Katherine pushed all the dishes into the sink and went to the bathroom with Seolchan following her.Katherine put Seolchan in the bathtub but the boy refused to take a bath and start splashing water, wetting his mother's shirt. Trying to protect herself from the water Katherine yelled: "Himchan! A little help here!" Himchan came right away, and found Katherine all wet, with Seolchan splashing water from bathtub. When he saw Himchan, the boy threw water at him, making Katherine laugh."Alright, kiddo, that means war." He unbuttoned his shirt, staying only with the t-shirt he was wearing. Himchan crouched beside the bathtub and started splashing water on Seolchan, but he didn't only hit the kid, he also hit Katherine, who was even more wet. Katherine opened her mouth, clacking her tongue in annoyance. "I would run if I was you, hyung." Seolchan said with widened eyes."Shit." Himchan cursed before being throw by her into the bathtub. All of them laughed when Himchan pulled Katherine with him. And with all those laughs, they looked like a real family.
