Chapter 12 - learning the truth - (5)

A few more weeks went by, but the curiosity kept gnawing at me, so I built up the courage again to confront Suhee's father, i cornered him outside his office and demanded an answer.

When I stopped he, he asked me a question, he said " will you be able to handle the truth?, will you take responsibility?", i immediately replied " Yes, i will."

He told me to wait until we went home, it was so awkward walking to the station, and sitting quietly in the train, an awkward hour went by, and we finally got off and reached home, it was finally the moment where he would tell me everything.

He told me to wait until after dinner.

After dinner, he left suddenly, so I went to chase after him, i went to the roof, Mr.Park came in front of me and asked me, " You said you would take responsibility." I replied "Yes", " So, will you marry my daughter?", i got flustered and my face turned intensely red, like someone i know.

I thought I heard him wrong, so asked him to repeat, he again said whether I would like to marry Suhee, he also remarked " i know you like my daughter, and I know Suhee likes you back, so I think it's good for you to get married." He told me to think about it, he said that he'd tell me, if I agreed to marry Suhee.

He told me to get back to him as soon as possible, i didn't have to think much about it, i liked Suhee, but I don't know about Suhee liking me back, so I hesitated to answer, but I wanted to protect someone, 

Someone i cared about, i wouldn't be able to bear it if I lost someone close to me again.

I answered, " Yes, Mr.Park, if you are willing to hand over your daughter to me, I will do everything I can to cherish and protect her." 

Although I can't now, because I'm not an adult yet, so I can't get married. He said " That's fine, that was just a test to see how you would react, congrats you passed"

"So tell me what would you like to know" , I replied " please tell me everything about Suhee and her past."

To be continued.
