Hana's POV

You know that feeling after years of being alone and finally got to handle things on your own--and being healed? I was full of bliss in my own world.

To have it shaken and rattled much must give me some rights to be mad right?

And that's happened in September.

It's been a month since I have found out that my father is a cousin of CEO-nim.

Yes, I found my father, or to be exact, he found me. After all these years~

Mr. Jin Hee, THE Mr. Jo Jin Hee, the actor, the well-respected actor in many popular dramas, is my real dad. My mum is Kim So Hyung, that popular singer who I admired the most.

But I was mad, so mad~

I remember it was like yesterday when they came to my house and gave the surprise of my life...

............................................................

So Hyung : I'm sorry Hana. I had to give you up.

Me : ...

So Hyung : Hana? Baby?

Me : ...

So Hyung : I know and will accept the fact that you are really angry with us, Hana.

Me : ...

So Hyung : Hana? Please say something. (looking at Jin Hee desperately)

Jin Hee : Your mother and I are married for 10 years now. We would like to register and acknowledge you as our daughter to the public.

I can't utter a single word. Even clenching my fists and forget to breathe. 

Then, I drew a soft shaky breath.

Me : Am I too much of a burden?

I don't mean for that sentence to come out from me. 

But, I'm hurt. 

My tears shot angrily as I said that sentence along with the longing that I've been wanting for so many years. All the feeling of rejection and not being self-worthy slapped me in the face and it turned into such an excruciatingly pain.

A week ago I was contacted by a private investigator. He asked a lot about my particulars and even rummaging my rubbish bin secretly if not for my cam.

My heart suddenly caught up and knew what would happen for I had imagined this scene for so many times before.

But still, it was a shock when this famous So Hyung and Jin Hee came to my house and bluntly claimed me as their lost daughter.

So Hyung : No, Hana! No! Please don't think of it that way. We've been looking for you for the past 20 years. The madam who took care of you had moved out. She promised to take care of you after I sought out my priorities and problems. When I came back to take you she was nowhere to be found. I was so devastated that time. I was getting on top and ready to announce about your presence to the world. I really do Hana... Please believe me.

My mum grabbed onto my hands, trying to reach me.

Then I remember how much Madam Chun had yelled and scolded the 14 year-old-me at that time whenever I tried to pry into her belongings to find any evidence of my parents' picture.

I remembered that she hid them so well. I never seem to be able to peek into it.

When I finally move out, I simply ignored them and cherished and embraced my alone state.

Jin Hee : I'm sorry for being a coward dad Hana. I'm sorry for ditching your mum and you. I'm really sorry for not taking such responsibilities. Now I regret them so much. I want to repent for my sins, Hana.

Hana : Wow... This is just insane.

So Hyung : No it's not Hana. You are ours. We always think of you. This picture here... It's always in my purse. I really cannot forget about you, Hana. If only you... If only you knew how hard it is for me to part with you. No one was helping me at that time.

My mum's voice wavered as she held onto a baby picture of mine. My dad quickly reached over my mum, hugging her so tight as to console her.

Jin Hee : I'm so sorry Jagi. So sorry. I'm really sorry.

Mum cried in dad's arms as she showed me a worn-out-album remaining picture of my baby days.

Hana : I really don't know what to say. This is so sudden.

So Hyung : We know. You must have the shock of your lifetime. We understand that. But we love you, Hana.

.................................................

Present days.

Us three are in our mending process. DNA results are confirmed to acknowledge my existence. Nonetheless, I started to reel in the fact that I had my real parents. The rummaging anger and frustration that I kept inside me began to wilt and started to acknowledge that I am somebody at last.

We had occasional meals together. Weekends spent well together outdoors. We seemed to share a common like for extreme sports so that's really bonding us closer. I call them mum and dad with such ease now.

Most media had remarkably been supportive enough for us. Some rumors, nasty one can't really hurt us now. So now we are known as one of the most influential families in Korea's stars history.

I don't live with my parent but I visit them nonetheless.

And that what started as my matchmaking. Unfortunately, I was related to CEO Lee Hyuk by blood. My uncle. (uhhhh!)
