I was very happy, knowing that I was reborn. Now I could take my revenge on the Tae family. Whatever happened, I'd never reveal that I wasn't their son. A knock cleaved through my thoughts. "Come in," I said, a coldness in my voice that surprised even me. My 'other' Kim never spoke like this new Kim.
A man in his fifties, though well-maintained and looking closer to his late forties, stepped in. "Old Woo," I sneered. His expression soured, but he held his ground.
"How are you feeling, dear?" he asked, a forced fatherly tone in his voice. A hint of mockery flashed in my newly beautiful eyes.
"Like you care," I retorted.
"I do care," the man insisted, taking a few steps closer until a foot of space separated us. "You are my blood, Ki-Ki. There's no way I won't care."
I sneered again. "If you had loved me, you wouldn't have let that woman take me. It was all because of you that I went into a coma at the age of seven. You should thank your stars that my growth and health were maintained." My voice was calm, but that cold aura simply wouldn't leave me.
"I tried, but..." he began, but I cut him short.
"You were a coward." He shook his head, denying my accusation.
"After you separated with her, I was happy, but then she took me," I said, a bitter edge to my tone.
"I'm sorry, son," he offered.
I smirked. "Get out," I ordered, and without a second thought, he left.
Was I being too unreasonable? They weren't my real family, and I was treating them this way. Even if they made mistakes, I should be happy that they were willing to make amends. I sat down on my king-sized bed and drifted back to my childhood.
Flashback
I was five years old. A child with bluish-purple hair ran to hug his father. That child was me. I hugged a younger version of Old Woo. We got along well.
"Woo Master, please spare me! I'll never do it again!" A woman of about twenty-four was crying and pleading as they dragged her out. "At least give my baby back to me!" She reached out a hand to carry me, but I clung to my father, refusing to go with her. She had been using me to ruin our family, even sending me to poison my father. But even at my young age, I was so clever. My father divorced her, and we lived happily until my seventh birthday.
I was elegantly dressed in black pants and a white shirt. My hair was short but reached my shoulder. After the celebration, the lights turned off, and I was suddenly dragged out.
"Yan Yan, what is wrong with you? Let Kimi go!" Mrs. Woo cried.
"Kimi is my child!" my mother, Yan Yan, shrieked and ran off with me. My Old Woo sent people to look for me, but he couldn't find me. Yan Yan used me to threaten Old Woo. But finally, I was found. Yet, later on, Yan Yan continued to bother our family. I was passing by and overheard Mrs. Woo and Old Woo speaking. I never wanted to eavesdrop, but when I heard my name, I paused in my tracks.
"Ki-Ki should go to Yan," Old Woo said.
"Old Woo, don't you think he will spoil?" Mrs. Woo questioned.
"No, Jiang, he will be just fine. If he doesn't go, she will keep on disturbing us," Old Woo insisted.
I was now with Yan, and I was utterly sad. I hated Old Woo and Mrs. Woo. I found a way to run, and I succeeded, but when I reached home, my attitude had completely changed. I fought with everyone and even called my father by his name, "Old Woo." But when he tried returning me to Yan Yan, I had to commit suicide. I cut my hand with a knife, and that was how I fell into a coma.
Flashback Ends
I left my room and found Old Woo sitting on the couch, his mood all gloomy. I passed him without a word and ordered our driver to take me out. We stopped at a club. Clubs were usually only for eighteen-year-olds, but because of our influence in the city, I was allowed to go anywhere I wanted. We entered the club, and I told the driver to wait outside for me.
