Jes

I just held onto Net as he sobbed bitterly in my arms. Did I want to let go of him? No. Did I want him to call me P? No. Did I want us to go back to being clients or even strangers? Hell no. But I knew about Kyunn. I thought I knew her but realized it's only over the last few years that I have truly gotten to know her and how cruel she can be.

And my Net didn't deserve any of this. I finally pulled away from Net, wiping away at my tears furiously. I looked at him.

"You have always been a part of this family, being Teresa's friend, and that doesn't change. I have been your photographer for work, and let's just keep it that way. This is for the best."

Net just looked at me, tears still flowing down furiously. Just then, my dad smacked me hard on my head.

"Are you for real?!"

I just glared at my dad before my look softened.

"This guy here has worked incredibly hard for his career. He has done all he can to be where he is right now. His career isn't the only defining moment I agree, but it's a pivotal part of his life.

Imagine if that scandal escalated, not only his career, his entire life will be ruined. Does he deserve all of that because of her? Kyunn isn't deserving of that much of attention. And I am trying everything to stop that. Right now, this is the only thing I can think of.

As much as you hate it, so do I. If you think this is tough on him, it's harder on me. I practically confessed my love to him first. I begged him to call me Jes. I gave into that first kiss of ours so badly. And now I am throwing it all away. Do you think I like this? You know me well, Papa. I don't have to tell you why I'm doing this."

My dad's eyes just glimmered hearing me. I went to my room to shower and change, and I went out to pick up Kyunn. I passed by Net, who was in the living room, cuddled into Teresa, who just shot me a sad look, but I just shook my head, mouthing at her to look after him. She nodded, obeying me for once.

The irony of it all. She finally listens to me just over our combined efforts to make one guy happy. Net had that kind of effect on us.
