SOOBIN POV

I sat across from my father. My mother hadn't arrived yet. "당신은 거짓말쟁이에요. 완전하고 완전한 거짓말이죠. 아버지 안녕하세요?" (You're a liar. A complete and utter lie. How are you my father ?) I was absolutely angry. Which was a given. I was neglected ,& just found out my father had been lying about many things. Why did he never mention Uncle Jeongsan before ? Why was the Lake Of Mist truly off limits ? How was that cave Uncle Jeongsan had us in accessed ?

My father slammed his hand down on the table. It was just him & I. My mother hadn't come home yet. She was probably tying up some loose ends at the institute. "I am your father, Soobin. Have some respect." I let out a dry laugh as I could see he was growing frustrated with me. I rolled my eyes, "Oh ? Angry you can't control me anymore ?" Now I was aware Jeongsan wasn't my biological uncle, but he seemed extremely determined to make my father pay. 

My father muttered a spell. This specific spell was aimed to cause small incisions on the skin. Tiny scars but they are unbearably painful without the counter spell. "이봐요! 나한테 이런 식으로 말하면 안 돼요, 수빈아!" (Hey ! You can't talk to me this way, Soobin ah !) Now he wanted to parent me ? He didn't care before. I was the kid he actively avoided unless it was to make me feel horrible for being his son. To use as a pawn for appearances... "You sure about ? I think I can pretty much say what I want."

This when I decided he should be aware of what I know. Jeongsan had told me why he was targeting the institute, but not why he was furious with my father. Whatever the reason, I stand with him. My father clearly had done something ,& I am not surprised anyone wants revenge. "What about Jeongsan ? Did you tell him off when he didn't agree with you too ?"

My father' eyes got big. Filled with suspicion, panic, & guilt. He had done something, didn't he ? "J-Jeongsan ? How do you know about Jeongsan ?" This only confirmed to me of what I thought. My father was hiding a giant secret. One, he was truly hoping no one would ever find out. Before I turned the conversation back to Jeongsan I asked one simple question. "Does mom know ?"

Headmaster Choi, my father then began to deflect. He clearly was shook by me even mentioning Jeongsan' name. I wanted answers & I planned on getting them out of him. "What ? Why does even mentioning Jeongsan seem to make you nervous, Dad ? What have you done ?" He didn't answer once again. I beginning to feel as if I was speaking to a concrete wall. 

Pretty soon he slipped up and made a comment I wouldn't have expected. "정산형 왜 저한테 물어봐요? 일부러 아픈 기억을 되살리려고 하는 건가요?" (Why are you asking me about Jeongsan hyung ? Are you trying to make me relive painful memories on purpose ?)

It was the first time I was seeing him tear up. Was that ever real ? However, the conversation was going nowhere. My mother intervened. "How can you do this to your father, Soobin ah ? I am so disappointed in you. This behavior needs to stop."

I scoffed as I began making my way to leave. "Disappointed ? You need to have cared enough to be disappointed. You don't care. You're just selfish..."
