Chapter twenty-three

~Y/N POV~

Since leaving my new bedroom and coming to this very large doors with Minseok I can't help but be nervous and a little jumpy.

Minseok told me my dad is only beyond these doors and for the first time in my life, I'll be able to meet him. See him with my own two eyes and actually talk to him. It almost seems unbelievable but yet it's really happening.

I couldn't stop fidgeting with my fingers in front of me, looking around my surroundings as Minseok stands in front of me, his back facing the doors. Only when I heard him chuckle at my behaviour did I finally look up at him, meeting his eyes that creased in the corners due to his wide smile.

"Calm down Y/n. He's just as nervous as you are." Minseok

"Really?"

He nods and steps to the side, placing one hand to my back and yet another on the door knob.

"Everything will be fine. I promise." Minseok

I nodded at him, stretching out a small smile that showed how nervous I was and yet he stifles a laugh once again pushes down on the door handle and pushed it open.

The massive doors pushed open, almost in slow motion from what I was taking in at this moment. Feeling Minseok lightly push me to make the first move on my feet and into the actually room. Gazing around the large office in awe to how big it was until my eyes finally settled on a man standing on the furthest side of the room.

Frozen in my steps, the door eventually closed behind me that left an echo sound.

The man was tall, brown hair slicked back with gel, slim nose and yet dark eyes. I would say he looked rather alright for his age, given he's centuries years old or possibly older.

Neither one of us spoke in this quiet room, just staring at one another. I wasn't too sure what to do yet my chest was thumping like crazy. It's hard to think this man right before me is my father. The man that is responsible for what I am today.

"Y/n." Dad

The man formed a tight smile on his face, creating creases around his eyes and a small dimple to show on his left cheek. I don't know what it was about him calling out my name but it chocked me up unexpectedly.

That's when I tore my gaze from him, trying to look anywhere in the room but him.

"I'm sorry." Dad

I heard him say with so much sorrow. If what Minseok already told me before, my dad would know about my upbringing and everything else life as thrown my way so far.

Tears started brimming my eyes but yet I quickly wipe them away, letting out a small sniffle and crossed my arms over my chest protectively.

"F-For what?"

"Everything. Everything you have been through and I, as your father wasn't there to protect you like I should of. For that I am sorry, truly." Dad

This time I gained courage to look over to him, to see him now slightly closer than before and in front of his desk instead of on the other side. There was a deep frown on his face with the most softest eyes I've ever seen on a person.

That was all I needed to see before my tears finally fell down my cheeks like a water fall and my lips couldn't stop quivering. A quick brush of air flew passed me as I covered my face with my hands as I cried through my pain I feel inside. Only for a pair of arms to wrap around me as I'm pulled into an embrace, that embrace belonging to my father.

But I didn't protest and instead welcomed it. Hugging him back with such need that I dug my nails into the front of his white shirt, desperately holding onto him as if he could disappear in a quick flash.

Just that moment it felt like it would last forever. He didn't want to let go of me and I didn't want to let go of him.

Staying like that for a good few minutes only did we pull apart when I finally calmed myself down but my dad held a gentle hold of my arm and used his thumb to help me wipe away my tears which I appreciated.

"It's been so long."

I whispered but he just chuckled.

"Too long and again that is my fault but I hope now that we're together we can make up for lost time." Dad

I nodded, finally breaking a small smile, to look up at him.

"I would like that."

My dad just took a moment, gazing down at me as he grew a smile. His eyes wondering around my face before he reached out to push back some of my hair from my face.

"You look just like your mom. It's like looking at her all over again." Dad

"Oh? I'm sorry."

He shook his head and pulled me into his side using one arm just to start guiding me towards a stack of shelves to the right side of the room.

"Don't be sorry. You're mother was a very beautiful woman." Dad

We came to a stop by the shelves filled with many books but yet there was some picture frames also. Some where of people I haven't met before and some were of people I have already seen in this house but there was only one of him, holding onto a woman that did look very similar to myself.

"So this is the two of you?"

He only nods fondly. Picking up the picture I pointed to of him and my mom hugging one another but facing the camera with all smiles.

"Yes. This was before you came along." Dad

He tilts his head to the side, staring down at the picture before he passes it to me.

"I loved your mom very much and still do. She's just in a better place now compared to this world we live in today." Dad

"How did you both meet?"

I've always wanted to ask that question. Like how does an human woman meet an angel?

My dad chuckles as he looks up to the top shelf as if recalling the memory.

"Believe it or not but at church. Your mom was a church going woman and I just acting as the pastor to the group. She caught my eye straight away and it seems I caught hers the moment we met. After that we became inseparable and lived as normal as we possibly could." Dad

I hummed at him but yet couldn't take my eyes off the picture. I never knew what she looked like until now but I was happy to know at some point before I came along she had a happy life.

"I know what you're thinking Y/n and despite what you think but she was happy until the very last moment. That was seeing you in her arms before she passed. That was when I promised that you would be better protected away from me so others wouldn't harm you when they realise you are of half human and half angel." Dad

Again I said nothing but carefully placed the picture back on the shelf.

"I just hope you find yourself at home here from now on." Dad

I turned to smile up at him, hugging him from the side again. Despite just meeting him I can feel that he's my dad and the love he has for me is pouring from his aura.

"I hope I do too."

And I do. This is my new start in life and I can't wait to find out where it's going to take me.
