Time. There was no time to adjust. My eyes felt heavy & my body extremely weak. I soon enough was sat in a room & CEO Cha sat across from me. "윤기 씨요." (Yoongi.) She asked in that sweet tone of hers, but it also had a venomous undertone.

I didn't trust her then, & I most certainly didn't trust her now. "CEO Cha..." She seemed pissed with my answer. "Straight to it then. Perfect."

This is when Ms. Cha sat a document in front of me. "Hmm..." She pointed at the document, "이것은 간단한 비공개 계약입니다. 당신은 여기서 일어난 일에 대해 아무 말도 하지 않을 것입니다. 그것은 또한 당신이 나의 연구 프로그램에 참여하면 보상을 받을 것이라고 명시되어 있습니다." (This is a simple non-disclosure agreement. You will not talk about any of what has happened here. It also states that you'll get compensation for your participation in my research program.) I looked over & it was exactly as she said. I wasn't entirely convinced there wasn't some trick up her sleeve.

She grinned as she handed me a pen. "All you have to do is sign, Yoongi." I signed & quickly was ushered out with Secretary Oh.

Secretary Oh handed me a folder. "What is this ?" She looked paranoid. Like even just speaking too loud would be an absolute problem. "글쎄, 잘 모르겠는걸요. 석진아, 당신이 이곳을 떠나고 나면 당신에게 도움이 될 거예요." (I can't say. It will do you some good after you leave here, Seokjin ah.) It wasn't long before we reached the front door.

Secretary Oh pointed at the folder, "Open it when you are alone. Completely alone." Security got me to a car & then I was being drove home. Nothing looked as I remembered. Before long I was home. It took me a minute, but eventually I knocked on the door.

----------------------------------------

"You...", My father said as soon as he opened the door & had seen me. He looked younger. Much younger than when I had last seen him. "아빠?" (Dad ?) He smiled as he brought me inside. No real response was given as he let me in.

I took a seat opposite him. The house also looked different. Much different. "Your siblings missed you heaps. They'll be happy you've returned."

My father still dismissed me, even after all of this time... I looked at his wrist, a watch was on it with the N.L.I trademark. However the watch wasn't my biggest concern at the moment. "Is that all you have to say to me ? Really ?"

My father sighed as he rolled his eyes from where he sat. "What do you want from me, Yoongi ?!" The blatant disregard of me & my emotions still very well hurt deeply... He hadn't changed a bit.

"당신한텐 아무것도 원하지 않아요! 당신이 나를 어떻게 대하는지 변명할 말이 없어요!" (I don't want a single fucking thing from you ! There is nothing you can say to excuse how you treat me !) I screamed loudly as I was trying to process everything once again.

Tensions were heated & we both fell silent quickly. I guess I'll always be the asshole when it comes to situations like these...
