Ex-Girlfriend

                                    

                                          


                          


                          
Chaerin shakes upon the sight of the unexpected visitor. On the other hand, Jiyong's jaw tightens when he feels how her body trembles in his embrace. He gently runs his palm on her back to relax her and keep her feeling secured.
                          
"D..Daddy?"
                          
The man who causes her first heartbreak is now standing before her with his dark face. Chaerin never feel this small under his scrutinizing gaze. "Since when the hospital turns into a hotel for your private activity?!" he roars.
                          
"D..Daddy no...We...We are just..." 
                          
"Since the time Chaerin feels she needed a real man in her life." Jiyong bravely shots back.
                          
"O..Oppa!" Chaerin looks at her boyfriend, completely terrified. However, Jiyong just hugs her again and shows the man in front of them that he's not scared of who he is.
                          
"Bastard." The old man growls. "I need to talk with my daughter privately. Mind if you get out?" 
                          
"You won't. I won't let Chaerin be alone with you. I will die first before you can hurt her again." He said with firm determination.
                          
Chaerin looks at him in astonishment. She never thought that Jiyong will stand for her like this.
                          
"Stop talking as if you are part of my family!" her father harshly said. "Get out of here!"
                          
"And stop talking as if you love Chaerin as much as I do." Jiyong shakes in rage. Chaerin doesn't know who she will pacify first. Her daddy looks like he will declare a war against Jiyong while the latter looks like he will kill if the man persist what he wanted.
                          
"You love Chaerin? Funny! That's not what Seorin told me. She said—"
                          
"Enough." Chaerin suddenly butt in with her icy cold voice, something that Jiyong never heard from her before. The moment her father mentioned his other daughter, it sends Chaerin to another level of animosity and Jiyong knows it.
                          
"You should know what your sister—"
                          
"I SAID ENOUGH! GET OUT!!!" Chaerin screams, startling both men. "Go back to your favorite child! I'm so done with you! I don't care if you love her or care for her more because now I know you will never do the same for me. Thank you for ruining my life! Now if you excuse us, you don't have any business here. Anyone who isn't related to the patient is not allowed in this area." 
                          
"Are you telling me that you don't need me anymore? I am your father, Lee Chaerin!" Lee Kyeosong growls in anger.
                          
"I never had one..." Chaerin bitterly answered. Jiyong bites his lower lip upon hearing Chaerin's painful words. He knows how badly she wanted to cry right now but keeps her fierce front just for the sake of saving her pride from someone who's unworthy of her tears. He gently rubs her arm to calm her a bit and looks frostily to the man in front. He swear he saw his eyes went misty just by hearing his own daughter disowning him from her life.
                          
"You will regret this." Her father said.
                          
"No, you will." Chaerin's tears fall out of control. "I did my share so I know I won't regret anything. I have loved you as what a filial daughter should do but seems like you do not appreciate it. Now I can live my life how I always wanted it to be. Go now and seek for your favorite daughter. I hope both of you live happily now that I'm out of the picture." She turns her back and walks towards her bed, as Jiyong assists her with dextrose. "Jiyong Oppa, please close the door after he leaves. I want to rest."
