"When I first held her in my arms, I was so afraid. She was so small I was afraid that I'll hurt her. But she trust me. She giggled when she held my finger tight. It was such an overwhelming feeling. It was nothing I've ever felt before."
The man went behind his desk, opening his drawer and took out a picture frame. It looked old but well taken care of. He ran his thumb up and down along the frame, as if he was reminiscing the good old time.
"This was when she's five. The first day she entered kindergarten. I was reluctant to let her go. Wasn't able to spend more time with her. People said we both have the same smiles."
He put the frame on the table and turned it towards Jungkook. Then Jungkook was able to see it. The smiley face of his boss holding little Hyejin in his arms. Both showing their whole teeth while smiling. There were lots of resemblance between Hyejin and his boss. Especially the smiles.
"I want to be the best dad for her, Jeon. I really wanted to. But everything's ruined. I was too carried away in making more money that I didn't realise I neglected her. I neglected my wife. I neglected my family. Namjoon-"
At the mentioned of the name, Jungkook flinched.
"Namjoon was the one who always there for her instead of me. They spend more time together. When she scratched her knees while playing, she ran to Namjoon, not me. Not me, her father. I was so upset that I asked my men to beat Namjoon up. My best man.
And when Namjoon left, Hyejin kept crying. She won't eat. She won't even talk to me. Then she felt sick. I paid the best doctor to treat her but when she was cured, all she asked was Namjoon. Where did I do wrong, Jeon? Tell me. Tell me why is she asking for Namjoon when she got me as her father, Kim Junmyeon!"
Jungkook wasn't expecting any of this. Wasn't expecting his boss to cry. He was fully sobbing at the moment.
"I-I did my best, Jungkook. I did my.. my best. That was I thought. B-but when I hit her for the first time. I realised that I was the worst. I hit her a lot because I was angry. I was angry she wanted Namjoon more than me. I was jealous. I beat her till she was unconscious. I am the worst.
I locked her up in her room. Chained her to the bed where the furthest she could go is the bathroom. Whenever she mentioned Namjoon I hit her. My wife left me because she didn't want to be with a monster like me. She tried to take Hyejin with her but she can't. She knew I'll kill Hyejin if she did."
Jungkook eyes went wide when he heard that. He felt his heart ached. How could his boss do that to Hyejin. How could he do that to his own daughter. He clenched his fist, wanting to beat the hell out of Junmyeon for doing all those terrible things to Hyejin.
"When Namjoon took her away from me and dissappear, I was beyond mad. I search everywhere for him. But Namjoon is smart. He wouldn't left any trace. It was difficult for me but then I found him. And found my Hyejin. And I want her back. I want to fix everything. I want to be the best dad for her-"
Junmyeon was cut off with a punched on his jaw. He stumbled onto his seat, was about to get up before Jungkook kicked him down. Junmyeon coughed a few times because of the kick. His stomach was in pain, his body trembled and his vision was blurry.
"You fucker.." Jungkook punched him in the face again and again until blood covered his knuckles and Junmyeon face was bloody. He grabbed Junmyeon's collar and pulled his limp body towards him.
