I went home after lunch because mom suddenly called me. There is important news I need to know as she said. Good thing, I don't have important meetings to attend today and I cancelled all the minor events I need to head off. I did tried asked her to tell me over the phone but she insist that I need to hear her words personally.

I had no choice but to go and when I reach the house. The first thing I heard when I entered the door was a woman sobbing. I immediately recognize it was her so I ran to her room calling.

I run upstairs and see her bedroom door slightly opened. Her sob becomes clearer, also she's murmuring words that I couldn't understand.

I push the door wide open and what welcome me is my mom crying with her forehead leaning at Ellie's shoulder. She is caressing my mom's back. They both turn to me and mom quickly stood from the bed opening her arms wide asking for an embrace which I gladly accepted.

"God, Taehyung! I've been waiting for you! Your Dad." Mom started to talk while pulling me closer to her but I broke the hug immediately after I heard the word Dad.

"Dad? I thought he's just somewhere intact in his dirty business." I professed sarcastically and mom move few step backwards and gaze at my face intently. Yes, he is my father but hearing about him annoyed me so much. Like, I already deleted him in my world then suddenly he'll come back.

"He is your father, Taehyung! Can you hear yourself?" Mom, asked angrily yet I didn't bother and journey my sight to her visitor that I don't like to see ever again.

"Why is she here? I thought I'm clear about cutting any connection to her. She can't even do her former jobs before. You should tell her to leave, now." I tried to calm myself even I can vividly feel the boiling madness within myself waiting to explode.

"I call her because I don't want to disturb you at work. I... I just want somebody to cry on and I know she'll come whenever I asked. Yet, she requested me to call and tell you because you deserve to know." She explained her action yet, I didn't glance back to my Mom. I am stopping myself to vent my frustration at her and so I am doing it by throwing my death glare to Ellie instead.

"I am now here. Tell her to leave, now!" My voice echoed like a mad thunder within her bedroom. Ellie, surprisingly jump from her seat and grab her chest because of shock. I don't shout to any woman but I badly need to make an exemption. I am afraid that Kelli one day learned that this woman can enter my house.

"I... I need to go. Call me again when you need something." Ellie with her shivering voice told Mom and my mother turned to her and give her a hug before letting go. Ellie one last time glance at me, meeting my eyes but she revoke immediately.

"Since when you started to get rude towards woman, huh?" Mom nagged me yet I only furrowed my brows and met her red swollen eyes because of crying. I am not a little boy anymore that afraid to see hear shed a tear and asked her what I need to do to make her smile. Moreover, I promised Kelli that I will stand on my own and stop being her puppet.

"Tell me now about my father. What is it now? Besides, I last heard news  about him when I was 15 and last saw him at 8. I wonder what happened to him after he left us just like that." I cannot suppress my hate anymore but I manage to stay my voice low.

"He was caught by the police and I know he needs us more than ever. Please, let's see him." Her tears started to mold again from her eyes. I never saw her care this deep about her ex-husband, the MIN. I know she's badly in love with my father yet her decision before was to let my father leave and marry a new guy for wealth.

I still cannot forget the nights she left me alone at home. Leaving only instant noodles if I starve in the middle of the night. I was wondering where she sleeps. I was thinking deeply too why she needs to wear high heals, sexy dress and red lipstick. But then, there's a thought that maybe she's meeting my dad secretly and they are having dates again until all of us will be ruinited but that didn't happened.

Instead, she introduced me a mature man wearing polish suit and brilliant black leather shoes. He has skin white as milk, tall nose and permanent smile on the face. The most thing I notice about him is his palm was smooth as fresh laundered blanket. Unlike my father; rough and dry.

"That means his business were gone and now he has nothing we will go to him? Is that what you're trying to say?" I complained and put my hands in pockets to hide my clenching fists from her.

Balls of tears fell of from her squinted eyes vanishing slowly as they trace her reddish cheeks reaching her chin yet mold another drop of tears and freely let go and prickle on the marble floor. I emphatize her but I just can't help but to question everything.

"Why should go to a father that never look at me like Kelli's did? Why should I waste time to a father who left us for his dirty business and probably slept with the bitches while my mom is flirting a wealthy man to rise up from her deepest fall while I am eating warm instant noodles in the middle of the night!"

A slap greeted my cheek. The sound of that smack echoes in that room deaf me for a moment. This is the first time mother hit me, and it's because of his first love. I fish out my palm from my pocket and touch the injured part of my face that felt numb instantly after that strong slap. Tears form in the corner of my eyes wanting to escape yet I manage to stop them. I glance at her and her eyes dilated out of shock.

"I'm sorry! I'm... I didn't mean to." Mother apologized. Hatred consume me. I grabbed her shoulders and started to yell at her. Shaking her forcefully.

"We will not go to him! We don't need him. We are living fine even without him! Let him rot inside---"

"I need him!" She cut my sentence and suddenly stop shaking her. Mother's cheeks are wet with her tears. She looks wasted and distress. I let go of her shoulders and harshly comb my hair with my fingers. I was breathing heavy with my heart thumping very wild. I felt guilty for hurting her but what I am hearing don't sink in my brain.

"I need him badly. I am living for him. We divorce because we need. I flirt that whealthy man because I need to do it. I marry him to enter the MIN. I push you to study business because it's part of the plan. Your father sacrificed everything, me too! I can feel that he needs me too. Please, son! Let's go to him." My mother pleaded clamping her palms together like praying.

"No! That's final." I errand her. She slowly put down her hands showing defeat when I turned my back and about to approach the door when she speak.

"I will go to him alone if you don't want to. I wonder what Kelli will do if she learned that it's your father who tried to hurt Suga and snatch the wealth. I wonder how angry she will be if she learned that we entered Min because it was planned by him. I clearly wondering if she will swallow the fact that the man she loves has monster parents that are threat to her own family."

I quickly turned my back, she's still standing there with her low shoulder looking down the floor. I cannot see her face but I am sure she's wearing a smirk.

"I wonder if she still have courage to see you if she learned that Ashley is your adopted sister. I wonder if she can still go on with her life if she learn her mother leave her to go and live with your father. I am wondering how dramatically MEC will fall once everything unfold."

My knees wooble. Still, I demand a strength to help myself walk closer to her. Yet, not too close. I suddenly cannot recognize her. If she's really  my mother. She hide a lot from me.

"What? Ashley if my sister and their mother come back to my father... I don't understand any shit!" I yell behind her. Mom slowly turn to me and help up her head.

"The root cause is Love. That shit emotions started everything. He destroyed me, your father, their mother and father. It was a twisted fate bitterly created out of jealousy and revenging for love. Your dad and their mom are sweethearts before but got separated because of wealth issues. She married Min, had two children yet leave them because your dad show up out of nowhere and get her back."

My mom's shoulder shivers when she started crying again. "Do you even know how it was hard for me to signed that divorce paper? Do you even know how thousand times I scrub my skin everytime I have sex with your step-father? Do you know how many times I died the fact that I only let go of your dad physically but not emotionally? I almost cry blood everytime I imagine them sleeping in one bed, maybe making love!"

She hysterically screamed and my muscles move on it's own and embrace my mom. I never once thought she gone through a lot. The mother I grow old with is strong and always wearing a smirk or fake sugar smile when other people can see her.

"I vented my anger to her son. Because every time I see him, it always reminded me when your father asked me to leave him. Well, it's all my fault. I promise him I'll help to get back his long lost love and help him also to get the Min's wealth so she don't have another reason to leave."

She broke the hug and all I could do is to whisper sorry. She wipe the tears on her cheeks and sluggishly, and lifeless walk towards the door yet stop before she finally exit.

"I understand if you hate him and cannot see him. But, I am hoping one day you'll try to talk to him and asked yourself why." Her last remark and exited the room. Tears finally escape my eyes but I wipe it immediately. I kick the post of her bed and sat down on the soft cushion bouncing for few times before I lay my back on the bed. Guilt, anger, confusion and sadness creep altogether inside of me. Swirling like tornado damaging all the properties around.

"Your family's twisted story plots are spectacular. Like, are we in a movie or a book? Very tragic." I raise up immediately from bed and I see Ellie standimg at the door with her evil smirk.

"Why are you still here?" I asked.Then, she started to take off her clothes one by one. I facepalm myself in distress.

"What the hell you doing? You know I won't fuck you." I hissed yet she stop leaving herself only wearing her underwear.

"Who told you I want a fuck from you? You very know to yourself that I want Suga be the one to fuck me. Not you or anyone." She announced and walk fast to the bed and lay down covering her body with the blanket.

"Then why the hell you strip? Besides, whey are you still here? Didn't I told you to leave earlier?" I angrily inquire her. Yet, she just shrug and sit down properly letting the blanket fall under her chest, showing her cleavage. She cup my right cheeks and stare at me playfully.

"I have an offer." She said. I was about to asked her what but I am at the middle of opening my mouth when she put her finger over my lips and shush.

"Listen, Boy. I once told Kelli that I am your Fuckbuddy which is a lie. You also know how I put my life on the line chasing Suga yet, I didn't succeeded. So, instead of chasing him. I will negotiate with her. She's actually coming now and will be here in few minutes."

I gasp and forcely stood from the bed and restlessly comb my hair with my fingers and biting my lower lip. With no other choice. I pick up her blouse and pull her out the bed. She's smiling at me maliciously.

"Wear this!" I errand while giving her the clothes but she shook her head. I took a deep sigh and raise her both hands forcefully and started to wear her blouse. Next I kneel down and panickly held her feet to shoot at her pants and when playfully wiggle her feet that frustrate me more.

"Wear this quick or I'll push you out this house naked!" I threatened her but she just smile.

"Whores!"

We heard a shout and I see Kelli standing there at the door. I was frozen from where I kneel. I cannot move even I can see her tears falling off her cheeks.

"Good thing you're already here. Oh my God! Don't cry, Kelli. I am just making things easier for both of you." She announced with her pitchy voice sarcastically.

"I will not listen to any of your shits!" Kelli screamed and ran away. That's the time I finally move and chase her. I ran very fast and I catch her near the door, I move faster and give her a back hug. She wiggle strongly and punch my arms that snake around her stomach so she can be free but I didn't let her.

"It's not what you think! Nothing happened between us. She just came here to talk to mom, I asked her to leave yet she didn't. She suddenly strip in the room and I just dress her because she don't move. I cannot throw her out my house naked." I explained myself very fast yet Kelli still cry and punching my arm.

"Liar!" She hissed.

" Believe me. I swear! We didn't fuck!" I defend myself yet she don't want to believe my words.

"Yeah. Nothing happened. We never fuck. I'm sorry if I lie to you being his fuckbuddy. He fuck woman around the city but not me. I want Suga yet he don't like me." That's when Kelli stop punching me. I can feel her heavy breaths against my chest. She stop moving for a while and I let her go. Which is the baddest decision I made.

Kelli suddenly attack Ellie and pull her hair.

"Why did you fucking strip in front of my boyfriend it you don't want a fuck! Huh! You're really a bitch! No wonder my brother can't like you back. He can smell your rotting scent especially he hate dirt and bad smelling things!" Kelli yell while pulling her hair and Ellie didn't fight. I of course stop her from hurting Ellie, she might loss her hair if she will not halt.

Finally I manage to make Kelli let go of her grip to Ellie yet she still doing her best to break free. Ellie fixed her embroiled hair and laugh thinly after.

"Stop wasting your force at me Kelli. Listen to the file I send to you. Guess, hearing that will top the issue of you seing us in the same bedroom. After that, I will anticipate a gratitude from you." Ellie told her and she punch my arm and bow down to pick up her back. She search for her phone and there in notification. She saw a file sent to her.

I was gulping so much when the recorded started. Kelli, listened with annoyed face at first but her reaction changes the time the recorder ended. Her reaction are mixed with confusion and hatred.

"Let me explain." I asked hopelessly. Kelli glance at at me and shake his head. Then, I felt a smack on my cheek the same side mom hit me earlier.

"I regretted trusting you! I don't wanna see you anymore!" Kelli express with wrath and run out the house. I am about to chase her when Ellie grab my arm that force me then to her.

"At least we are quits now. If Suga will never be mine. You too should not get the girl you like." Ellie professed sarcastically yet with shade of sadness. She walk pass by me and hop in her car too then drive away.

I sat down on the pavement crying alone. Everyone leave me alone and all I could do is be in sorrow for the results of the things my parents and I have done. But then, I look up to the ceiling as madness envelope my whole system, freeding a bitter laugh and a playful smirk.

I have confession.

1. Forget what I said last chapter. The update is too long if I make it two chapter before the ending. Sorry if I am a big liar.

2. Please, stop asking if I am gay. Don't you know it is annoying and embarrassing for me?

Halt doing this "I hope you don't mind, are you gay?"

Like, are we fanboys don't allowed to be straight? Should we be gay to become fanboys? Is it not allowed for us to idolized men artist not only k-pop but in local or western country? I want to be hiatus for real because at first I don't find it humiliating but as time goes by and many people pm me just to asked that. I literally scorn my face and reply " It depends on you. I can be a man, woman or gay." Also, I know some of the people see me talking here flirtatiously since I am pure whore. Still, they are my closest friend here. They know me more and I am comfortable with them so stop taking it as an excuse why you asked me the question.

3. I'm okay now. I breath out my exhaustion. Lol!
