Meeting

We walked along the paths of the local park. Min-ho was in the front, because he was chasing birds, and In-ho and I walked a bit behind him, holding hands. I loved them unconditionally. 4 years earlier, I did not expect that at the age of 29 I would be the happiest woman in the world. I have a lovely husband and son and a job that I love because it happens on social media. We have no shortage of money. My dad, willy-nilly, finally accepted my husband and I still have contact with Veronokia, although we are separated by 9 time zones, we talk every day and exchange funny situations of our children, husbands or friends.

"I missed spending time with you like that," In-ho whispered to me.

"I missed it terribly too," I replied and laid my head on his shoulder.

-What is bothering you? And don't lie, because I can see what's wrong.

-You're just about to leave for a week and we're going to miss you- I confessed and the man took a deep breath and let him out. It's been 3 years since my father-in-law's death and In-ho still didn't wear a golden Vip mask, but was the Frontman all the time. He hired someone for himself who would be his right-hand man in the control room, but I don't know who. Since I was there for the first time, I haven't gone back there. This is not the place for me, I prefer to know that my husband is on a business trip, not on an island where he kills 455 people and rewards the last person with billions.

-Ehh, I know you don't support it, but maybe you want to be there with me? Min-ho we would leave at your parents' and such a small vacation for two as we used to.

-You know me and my opinion.

-Unfortunately, I know, but...

-Dad, mom, there's that famous rapper that Uncle Sebastian once talked about!- shouted our son, showing a purple-haired man. I knew him and I knew him very well. Too good. He was my shadow, my nightmare for many years. It was because of him that I was afraid to get into relationships. And now he is back. He walked towards us with a calm step, but when he noticed me, he took the headphones off his ears and walked towards us with an even more confident step.

-Oh no.

"Do you know him?" my husband asked, but before I could answer, my ex-boyfriend's two hands clenched around my waist, squeezing me in a firm grip.

-Peggy! You don't even know how glad I am to see you, Peg! I missed you," he said as he hugged me, but my hands hung along my body. I nodded slightly from side to side so that In-ho wouldn't attack the man who was just holding me in his grip. He was famous, just like me, but we differed in reputation. I had an impeccable reputation without any drama and he had a lot to his name.

"Don't talk to me like that," I said as the man moved away from me.

"You loved that diminutive in Peg High School.

-Well, in High School Choi Su.

"You know I don't like it when you call me Peggy.

-Then you know how I feel- I replied and my son interrupted our discussion.

-My uncle mentioned you to me, he's a big fan of you!

"That's nice to hear kid," he replied and looked back at me, "So Bev, you still live in Seoul, I thought you'd go back to New York after high school, leaving me and this city behind."

-I left you a long time ago, Thanos, but you know that in my senior year of high school I met the love of my life, a year after I broke up with you because you cheated on me.

-His? He's about 50 years old! And I'm only 30.

-I have 43 rams.

-Don't call a rap legend, dude, you don't know who you're talking to.

"Dad, it's nicer to my uncle's idol," Min-ho said, pulling his father by the sleeve.

"Listen, old man's son," said Thanos, and threw his elbow over my shoulder. I quickly knocked him off and wiped the invisible crossbow from my coat.

-Listen to me Choi Su. Don't bother me or my family. I will never come back to you, it was in the past, now I have the most wonderful husband and son. I'm finally happy and I don't have to pretend I'm not. So fuck off and leave us alone!-I shouted and took In-ho's hand, who had Min-ho on his back looking at the pond.

-I wanted a picture- I said disappointed boy.

-He doesn't take pictures with someone like him, honey- In-ho explained to him calmly, even though he was nervous all inside.

"But for my uncle," Min-ho insisted.

-Dad said something, so listen- I said in a serious voice, and the boy fell silent for the rest of the walk. We came home at 7 p.m. and my husband went to sleep while I was preparing dinner for him, connecting with Veronika, who was at 10 a.m. and she was on the beach sunbathing.

-Thanos? In Seoul? He didn't leave by chance at the end of school?

-I was so surprised myself- I confessed while spreading cherry jam on the sandwich.

-You know yourself that when it appears in your life, nothing means good. Thanos is all trouble. It is like the wind before a storm, it heralds the worst.

-Hey auntie!- Min-ho shouted from downstairs and I sat him down on the counter. In-ho embraced me from behind.

-Sometimes you are cute, but now I want to puke. Too much tenderness-she said and pretended to vomit and our son was already halfway through dinner.

-You behave like that yourself, so don't look at us- my husband bit back and kissed me passionately on the lips.

-I'm done!- our son shouted and jumped off the counter himself, surprisingly not caring - I'm going to sleep. Dad, read me a fairy tale, please. Goodnight auntie, kiss your uncle – he said and pulled my husband's hand and they disappeared around the corner.

"Sometimes I wonder if he's older," V said.

-Also. For his age, he is very wise, he learned some words on his own. I don't know how he does it," I said and leaned against the counter.

"You are good parents, as you can see," she replied and took a sip of her drink.

-God, how I envy you. You have warmth there all year round, and the weather is so bad here.

-I would like to have some cold myself. This summer weather is killing us.

-When are you coming to Seoul?

-On November 22 we have a flight in the morning, so we will be with you in the evening - she replied.

-I miss you here. I have no one to drop by our café with.

-I miss you too Bev. You have to come to us. Maybe at Christmas?

"You know perfectly well that my parents won't let me. They love Christmas and I have to be with them then. I'll definitely come back in January. I need to add some photos from Spain because I haven't been there for a long time.

-You were in August!

-Okay, but it's too long a break for me- I said and yawned- I'm going to finish, I have to pull myself together and write down what I have to do tomorrow. I love you V hold on.

-I love you too. Goodnight Bev-she said and I quickly thanked her and we hung up. My evening skin care took me an hour and just writing things for tomorrow took me half an hour before I knew it, it was already 9:30 p.m. I went into the bedroom without turning on the light. When I lay comfortably in bed, two strong hands moved me to the body of a man who kissed my nose.

-And how did you think about it?- asked In-ho, I didn't see his face exactly, only a bit, because the moonlight was shining into the bedroom.

-Ehh, you know I don't support it, but... I can go. We'll leave Min-ho to my parents, but don't kill anyone there by your own hand and spend more time with me, please.

-As for the first one, I can't promise you because you know the rules there, but I'll be happy to follow the second one- he said and I knew that he had his mischievous smile.

-So what are we waiting for?- I said and kissed him passionately, but he took the initiative. That night we couldn't fall asleep because we were busy with ourselves.
