Let's get it☺

-CHAPTER FIVE-

"Isn't this....ugh!! Appa you didn't even talk to her before taking this very important decision of her life?"

The dimpled boy whined a little and softly argued to his so-called father figure.

He was not satisfied by the decision taken by his father at all. This is not entirely wrong but maybe it's so sudden and Namjoon didn't expect it at all.

"Joon. First of all, it's not my final decision. And I am just telling you because I wanted her to be with someone I know! He is a bright student plus a very respectful child."

"Appa! I am not saying he is someone who is not good for our Sun, seriously! Please don't misunderstand me!"

He breathed out, not wanting to offend his father.

"Everything I mean is that Sun can choose whoever she wanted to spend her life with! You are her parents, all you need is to stay with her in her every decision."

He cleared what he has in his mind.

He was aware of the fact that his father can never think about anything which is not good for his children.

He again started when he saw, his father was listening to his every point.

"And he is my student, I know him better! He is an extremely incredible child with so much talent but...!"

The next moment he paused, collecting himself for the next sentence when his father cuts him off, speaking in a sad tone.

"Sorry if I hurt you, Joon! It's not what I wanted to and trust me it's not what you think it is!" His father looks suddenly down, feeling ashamed of himself out of nowhere, elbows on the working table, head in the hands.

"I am not forcing her... No, I can never!!"

It was like he told himself this sentence, again and again.

Namjoon looked up, seeing his father's state. His eyes widen at the sight, he looks vulnerable and weak, as if so confused and anxious about every decision.

He was about to say something but again get interrupted by the other person in the room.

"...and she told me whoever I choose for her, she will marry him. My baby respects me so much! Is there something I don't know about him? Or do you have anyone who can be good for her, Joon? Don't worry you know I trust you!"

The elder assured his son, but maybe it was in his mind, he shook his head as if he had said something wrong.

Namjoon stayed silent for a minute, making the other person restless.

All the awful and terrible reflections started coming to his mind like flood and doing nothing but messing with it.

It all came to the halt when he heard him, "To be honest father, I don't have anyone in my mind for now!"

The elder gulped, "And I don't have any problem with him, he is someone who helps and cares for everybody! But this doesn't mean he will be a better husband for her after their marriage!"

Now it started again, images began to form in the father's mind, all the wrong possibilities, all the bad stuff which can happen to her after her marriage.

He understands that his daughter is the type of person who thinks not to disturb someone and hide everything to herself. He is well aware that his beautiful daughter is an angel who always thinks about others before herself.

She is always like this, sharing limited problems not letting out much and without a single doubt, she gives her everything to the person she cares for.

"Am I doing wrong, Namjoon?"

All of a sudden, his voice breaks, making the child's eyes widen.

"I am so nervous when it comes to my only girl child! She means the world to me! I can never hurt her, and never let anyone hurt her too!"

Namjoon suddenly ran to his side and crouched down, grabbing both of his father's hands, making the older to look at him.

"I am sorry! You know as my small baby is growing up I feel I need to do this! It's my responsibility to make her marry someone who cares for her, not someone who doesn't give a shit about my only daughter I care to death!"

"Appa I know!! I know! Breathe..please!! Everything is going to be fine!"

"She is my everything, Joon! My pride, my dignity, my life! I am so happy to have her in my life! I can never even think about someone hurting her! Please make it right. Make everything right." He pleaded, eyes now shine a little with tiredness.

This is the first time Namjoon thinks he saw his father so tired and exhausted, seems like he didn't sleep for days.

He is aware that his father never forces anyone of his children to do anything they don't want. He is extraordinary for Namjoon, a figure who never breaks no matter what happens but now, here his father is.

So powerless and helpless.

"Let's talk to her!" 

—

Silent. Everything was silent than usual. They never imagined it would to this quiet when they will deliver the news.  

They are far more nervous about this.

It started, they both were looking down, eyes on the feet. But the difference between them is that Namjoon was scared to know the answer, and the father is scared to lose her daughter.

Her father now also believes he did something improper,

'Yes! I did wrong!'

He cursed in his mind when he heard her breathe hitched for a second when Namjoon announced the news.

"Father, why are you looking down?"

She questioned first, a simple small question, concern was clearly can be seen on the face of her.

Eyebrows frowned, erratic breathing, trembling fingers, knowing what's coming for her.

But something was eating her alive, something which is bothering and upsetting her. Why is her father looking down?

No answer.

She didn't get any answer from her father. Her knees started shaking in guilt. This is not how she expected her father to react. He must be proud of his decision. She didn't wait for a second to let her thoughts out.

"Appa...look at me, in my eyes, and then say it!"

She exclaimed, softly. Taking small steps towards her father's chair.

Namjoon abruptly stands up, wanted nothing but to give some space to both of them. It feels more like a family problem.

Yes, he is a member, but now something was telling him that this is not his time.

"Stop Joon— I mean—"

Wished to stop him from leaving, she grabbed his wrist but immediately unlocked the grip when her eyes locked on the widening eyes of her teacher.

"I am sorry! I o—overstepped! I apologize for
m—my behav—"

She stuttered badly, never she has ever called Namjoon by his name.

He is always her English teacher, a type of best friend, it was easy and natural for her to name him as a brother.

But what about Namjoon? Is he ready for it?

She was shushed by Namjoon suddenly. His eyes hold all the emotions, a soft adoring smile on his face, dimple on display as he mumbled.

"No Sun-hi! No need to ask for forgiveness. This is not overstepping. You didn't overstep your boundary. Thanks for making me feel special, I am grateful and so happy to have you as my sister. About that, It's just so sudden, you calling me Joon for the first time and.....I mean yeah...that's it!"

The boy looked down as if a big part of the burden was taken off from his chest, leaving him for good.

The reaction was instantaneous, a knowing nod was delivered to the brother from her side.

She was happy to know that his brother was ready to be with his new sister.

A sudden sign from Namjoon brings her back to reality, he was pointing towards their father.

Oh yes. Father and the marriage.

When her eyes spotted her father figure, he was smiling at both of them, seeing the interaction between both the children of his.

The moment he came to know that her daughter's eyes were on him, his smile dropped and the head again lowered shamefully.

"Appa..."

She whined, well aware of the fact that this affects him to the core. After sitting on her knees, near her father again she began.

"First of all, I love you. Nothing can change my feeling for you! The respect I have for you is nowhere compared to this marriage. I don't want you to be ashamed of your decision. You are my father, my everything. I will obey every decision of yours."

She gulped when she saw her father has tears in his eyes.

'It must be hard for him.' She repeated in her mind. Slowly all the emotions were bubbling inside her, resulting in tears.

But they didn't fall because she has to explain more.

"Yes! Yes, it's so sudden because I am still in college and wanted to continue my studies. But I know the fact that in two months I will be graduated and will be free to do whatever I want.....!! I understand if you believe this is best for me! Then...then I am not going to s-stop you! You and mum are the only reason I am here."

"I am living because of you!" The edges of her eyes now don't want to be with the lonely tears, at last, they shed off, totally overflowing.

"No! No! Darling. Don't answer by thinking of me raising you or something! No sweetheart! It's your decision! Say whatever you want! We will do as you say!"

Her father's large hands were out for wiping those tears which were like pouring out of her small eyes.

"Father, I respect you!" She sobbed, crying out the sentence.

"You are my life. My everything." She sniffled, when his father's eyes started tearing up when she finished.

"Everything starts with you and ends at you. Your decision, for me, is my destiny, my fate!"

Second, later she was in her father's tight yet soft embrace, finding the peace of all the three worlds. Deliberately, everything came to stop, everyone calms down.

There are an adoring and affectionate smile curling on the faces of Namjoon and his father.

Suddenly something came to the boy's mind as he uttered, "At least, see the picture of the boy!"

"No Namjoon! I mean— Joon! I—I am not going to disrespect appa by seeing him! I am ready whosoever he chose for me! My life is given by my father! Disrespecting him is the last thing I can do!"

'What if I waver? Then all will left is disappointments!'

She wanted to take a glimpse of the photo, she was desperate to know who will be she going to spend her life with.

"You are ready!?"

She didn't even realize she accepted, making her eyes widen in the process of swallowing the truth, the reality.

She looked at her father, shock, relief, happiness, everything was there on his face reflecting nothing but Joy.

"But we will wait! Think properly."

They both unexpectedly stated at the same time and nodded at her carefully taking every single expression of her in their mind.

A shake of her head as yes gives them relief like never before.
