Chapter 28 Memories of the Past (17)

"What kind of feeling is this? Min Ho thought. He had asked himself so many times what he wanted with her. But he just couldn't decipher the meaning behind his feelings for her.

"What does this mean?" Shouldn't I be very happy to see her hurt?", Why do I feel extremely sad when I see her distressed?"

These thoughts were eating him up and he didn't know what to do. But first he knew he had to save her from getting expelled.

"How do I do that?"

Hitting his head with his hands he mumbled. "Think! Think Min Ho, Think!" You have to think of something, She Mustn't get expelled. You have to stop that from happening. Min Ho paused as a thought crossed his mind.

"Yes, I should inform cousin Jun Pyo, Only he can save her.

Min Ho was about to call Jun Pyo but he suddenly paused. He took his phone and was about to call him but then he stopped himself again as he thought of Jun Pyo's anger.

"No", I shouldn't call him. What if he's already found out about all I've done behind his back and lashes out on me?

"Maybe I should call Kang San." Min Ho thought and he quickly picked his phone to dial Kang San's number.

As soon as the call got connected, Min Ho became a tattletale and he spat every word out in one breath. After explaining everything to Kang San, Min Ho breathed in relief as he got assured by Kang San.

"I will take care of the Matter." Kang San assured him as the call got disconnected.

Min Ho never wished for her to be expelled from school when she was about to graduate. He would never be that cruel. Though he had wanted to punish her for puncturing his ego by rejecting him but then the complicated feelings he has for her makes him unable to see her suffer.

Choi Family Mansion.....

Kang San hurried to his father's study. For the first in ages he went to speak to his father, And it was to ask for help.

Choi Kang San stopped talking to his father 5years ago when his father missed his mother's last moments.

Kang San knew how much his mother had loved his father. But his father was too busy to care or reciprocate her love. He was always away at all time. He was too busy with work to give her any attention or love.

His mother yearned so much for her husband's love until her last moments. His name was the last word she breathed.

Kang San hated his father for being so negligent to his mother. Even though he was always a good father to him. However, he never liked the way he treated his mother. Hence, Kang San blamed him for his mother's early death, and for not being present when she needed him most.

This made the father and son drift apart. Kang San would never breath a word to his father, no matter how hard he tried to breach the gap between them, it only grew wider.

Seeing Kang San approach him after so long many years, Mr Choi couldn't believe his eyes, He closed his eyes thinking it was only his wishful thinking and he would already be gone by the time he opened his eyes.

Kang San's voice brought him out of his trance as he said, "Dad please I need your help."

"You need my help? Mr. Choi asked again, still surprised.

"Yes, I do. Actually a friend of mine is about to be expelled from school even though Whatever happened wasn't her fault and was a victim but she is getting punished instead. Please dad, I won't be at peace if she gets expelled. Please do something dad.Talk to the school authorities and stop them. You are also a share holder there too, right?" So you should have a say in this right?" Kang San bombarded Mr. Choi with questions.

"Woah..Woah, Slow down will you? I don't understand a thing. Will you calm down and explain it to me so I would understand the situation properly. Mr. Choi could see that Kang San was anxious about so he brought him to sit.

"Now tell me what happened."

Kang San explained everything to Mr. Choi, word for word. He didn't miss out one single detail.

"Really?" That is indeed not fair." Mr Choi said after his son narrated the whole story to him. "Why did she have to take the fall when she is innocent?

"Don't worry son, I'll make sure she doesn't get expelled," Mr Choi said in assurance.

"Thank you." Kang San said hugging his father happily. Mr Choi patted his back happily too. Though he wasn't expecting the hug, However, getting a hug from his son after all these years made him very happy.

He couldn't help but think of this magician. "Who is this girl that made my son this way?

"Who is this girl that could make my son want to do everything to save her?" He even came to me for help?" He is willing to talk to me after all this years, just for her?" I must find out who this girl is and thank her." Mr Choi thought inwardly.

Realizing what he had done Kang San broke the hug and stepped away. "Thanks again Dad." Kang San stated before turning to leave.

"Anything for you dear." Mr Choi replied truthfully. He would really do anything for this son of his.

Seeing that his matter was already solved Kang San was about to leave, but Mr Choi wanted to know who the girl was.

"Who is she?" Mr Choi asked curiously.

"No one!" Kang San replied curtly.

"No one?" Mr Choi asked again.

"Yes, she is no one." Kang San stated matter of fact and he was about to go out of the study but Mr. Choi was going to let go of such a fine opportunity to patch up with his son. Hence he decided to tease him a little.

"What do you mean no one? You don't rush to my study for no one. You don't ask me for a favour after five long years for no one. So spill it now and tell me who she is."

"Dad you are....." Kang San retorted but was cut short by Mr. Choi's words.

"If you don't spill it, you know I can find out for myself, right?

"Okay, Okay." Kang San surrendered.

"I will tell you."
