Chae flew into his father's arms a sobbing mess.
"Daddy!!" He sobbed clutching onto his father's golf shirt.
Mr Kim held his trembling son in his arms, Chae felt smaller, thinner against his body and he looked ghastly pale.
He wondered what has been going on with his son and his husband that had his son so weak.
"Its okay, son. Tell dad what's the matter or must I call your husband?" Mr Kim asked naively.
"N-No dad, please don't call him...I-I.I'm pregnant; daddy and I don't know what to daddy. H-He's just too much, he's out of control!" Chae wailed.
Mr Kim wrapped his hands around his frail son as he trembled in his arms.
Mr Kim was what people called a family man, he led an important but boring lifestyle; never causing fights and always avoiding them.
At university, he'd rather stay at the dorm with a bottle of whisky than go to parties or clubbing.
He was just a regular good guy.
At least that's what people thought.
So obviously he was saddened by his son's predicament but also ecstatic about his first grandchild.
Bringing his child to the living room, he gently set him down.
"What exactly is the problem, Chae?"
"I-I c-can't tell you, dad. He said not t-to tell anyone or-or.."
"Or what Chae? What would he do? Come son, talk to dad; you know you can trust me" Mr Kim coaxed.
Chae nods and sniffles wiping his tears.
"H-he said he'd kill the person I tell, dad and he's killed before, he has this obsession with me that scares me to death. You know what he said to me?"
"No, son; tell me"
"He said that if he can't have me then no one should. He said he'd take me to hell with him. Daddy, he scares me so much that I don't know what to do." Chae sobs.
"Oh son, I'm sorry I never saw this coming and I couldn't protect you from him". Mr Kim says regretfully.
Jimin sniffles snuggling farther into his father's arms.
"And you know what's the worst?"
His father answers 'No'.
"The worst thing about this, is that I love him; daddy I love him so much it hurts too much, that I can't understand why or how I could love somebody like him. Especially when he does the things he's done to me"
His dad sighs.
"Dont be too hard on yourself, we don't choose who we fall in love with; if the heart says yes then it says yes, but if it says so no, then there's nothing you can do. I still love your mother till this day, even though he left us, I love him because there's nothing I can do to change that. He has my heart and it will forever belong to him. In the end, the heart wants what it wants"
Chae stays quite until they reach his old room.
"He doesn't deserve your love, dad" says Chae hugging his father.
Mr Park gives him an apologetic smile "Does Ditroníse deserve your love?"
"Touché" Chae gives a sad smiles.
"Touché, indeed" Mr Kim smiles, their moment is interrupted by Chae's phone.
Chae's breath hitches when he sees the caller name.
"Who is it?" Mr Kim asked.
"D–Ditro"
Mr Kim motions for Chae to answer.
"H–Hello?"
"So, I came back home with some lunch; expecting to find my wife at home but what do I find? House to let, Chae. Now where the f**k are you?!?"
"I-I'm at my dad's house" Chae starts crying.
"And what are you doing there? Oh wait are visiting daddy? Yes that must be it because you wouldn't leave me. Right?"
"I've decided that I'm staying here, Ditroníse" Chae forces himself to say.
He can hear Ditro inhaling deep through the phone.
"I'm sorry, I didn't seem to catch that. Care to repeat yourself?" Ditro says, his voice low, taunting.
"I-I'm s-staying here, m'not coming back.I've had enough"
Ditro stayed quite, he took deep breaths to calm himself down.
"Now... what did I say about that, babydoll?"
"Please don't Ditro, just dont" Chae starts sobbing and Mr Kim takes the phone from a trembling Chae Sung.
"Come near me and my son, I'll call the police; expect divorce papers from my lawyer tomorrow!" He shouts.
Chae's eyes widened as he frantically waved his hands In front of his dad's face, shaking his head to say no, they freeze as Ditroníse laughs on the other side of the line...
"Yeah, Good luck with that..."
The line cut.
Chae knows that Ditro is mad.
"Daddy No! You don't know what you've done, you said the word, you shouldn't have said the word, now he's gonna be extra mad and- and.." Chae paces around his bed rambling on and on until Mr Kim stands In front of him, hold him in place.
"Stop Sung'er, what word are you talking about?"
"D-Divorce, he hates that word"
"Its fine, don't worry about it"
"No dad you don't understand, y-you don't get it, you don't know him like I do; he's crazy, like psychotic" he rambles on.
"Son, I'm friends with the police chief; so don't worry about it, Nothing is going to happen to me or you. Now tell me what you intend to do about the baby?"
"I don't know, dad; I honestly don't. That's why I came here to try to think clearly"
"Okay, I get it; whatever you decide I'll be right there with you" Mr Kim kissed Chae's on his forehead.
"Thanks dad, but I'm tired now. Can I get something eat so I can lay down and rest?"
Mr Kim stands up. "Sure, you can change while I send someone up with the food"
"Thanks dad" Chae says as he looks for his pj's, Mr Kim stops at the door.
"Its gonna be alright Chae, and I love you son, no matter what happens" he says and Chae smiles
"I know you do, dad and I love you too"
==
Chae Sung is woken up by screaming and gunshots, somebody shakes him.
He opens his eyes..
It's Ditroníse wearing his signature smirk. Chae has seen that smirk before and nothing good ever comes after that look on his face.
"My babydoll, you never learn do you?" He smiles pecking Chae's lips as he helped him from the bed.
"D–Ditro?"
"Yes it's me love, I heard we were getting divorced; were we now?"
"No, my dad didn't mean it, Ditroníse please don't hurt him" Chae starts crying.
"Didnt mean it?." Ditro c***s a mocking eyebrow. ".. But how can he not mean something that he's st I repeating downstairs?" Ditroníse puts his index finger on his chin in fake thought.
"Ditroníse... please no,"
"You don't listen, you never listen to me, Chae. Now come along" he pulls Chae to him and walks out the door going down, the stop in the lounge where Mr Kim is kneeling on the floor with his house staff dead all around the house.
"See your father thought that having the chief of Police as his friend would help him But no, oh no baby. I pay the 80% if the chief's salary and do you know what I pay him for? To look the other way" Ditro explains as he gets behind Mr Park while brandishing the same knife that killed Jaehyun.
Chae can't scream or move, he just stares with tears running freely down his face.
"I'm so sorry, daddy" he whispers.
"Look away, Sung'er. It's not your fault, it's all my fault." Mr Kim says.
"I'm so sorry, daddy" Chae repeats.
"I've waited so long so to do this, Genevieve says hello motherfucker!" Ditroníse snarled in Mr Kim's eyes making his eyes widen at that name.
Ditroníse slices Mr Kim's throat.
Chae falls to the floor as his father falls to the side, Dead.
Ditro orders Patrice to take Chae home while he and Daniel sort things out here.
Patrice moves to hold a limp Chae out into the car.
"I'm so sorry, daddy"
✪✪✪✪??????? ???????✪✪✪
When Patrice drops him off, he first makes sure that Chae is locked inside with guards outside.
Chae sits on his bed writing a letter, when he finishes he takes the pregnancy test he places it on the floor; takes a bottle of whisky and a bottle of sleeping pills.
He drinks everything then starts cutting his wrists.
He rubs his bloody hand over his bump "I'm so sorry peanut, I'm so sorry daddy; I have failed both of you. I can't take this anymore, this is not life" the blood slowly drains in his body, both the alcohol and pills making him numb and light headed, it's silence he can't feel the pain anymore; he welcomes the darkness and lets his his last breath go...
He's dead.
