I press my sweaty back against the door, trying to soak up every bit of their conversation.

" You good-for-nothing son of a bitch." I hear my mother scream.

" I, I'll keep trying I swear! " This time, it was a more softer, soothing voice.  My dad.

My mother breathes a long breath.
" It's been 2 years, Lee Jimin. 2 years and you're still jobless. Do even know how fcking hard I've worked these two years to provide for Hongbin?"

I tense up at the sound of my name. I hate it when she drags me into her argument.
I think she's just using me a fcking excuse.

" Eun Ji, just give me a little more time.. I promise I'll try harder. " My father pleads and my heart breaks.

"I'm going out." My mother monotonously states, not bothering to answer him. I know she's going to have one of those nights again, heading out late and coming back late as well, drunk and high.
I hear the front door slam before I run out of my "hiding spot". I find my dad, once a confindent, bright young man, kneeling dejectedly on the ground, crying. I've never seen my dad cry before.
I kneel in front of him to make sure he can see me. He doesn't because he is wiping his overflowing tears.

Calling him gets his attention.

He looks up at me and immediately wipes all his tears away.

This is what I admire about him. He tries his best to always hide his emotions to not make me feel worried. I think it's perfectly fine for him to break down now, considering the fact that he has been hiding for the past 2 years.

I hug him to make sure he knows I'm there for him.
He hugs me back and I can feek his tears soak up my shirt.

"Dad, I love you." I try to pour in as much emotion as  an 17 year old can.
"Love you too." He replies.

After a while, we both get up and he tucks me into bed.

"Everything will be fine Hongbin." He comforts me.
I just wish I knew what to say to comfort him.

The next day, nothing was fine.

I wake up to my dad packing his bags and my mother watching over him like a hawk, a cigarette in hand.

They were getting a divorce.

Screw my mother, I cried because my dad was leaving.

Worse, my mother refused to let me stay with my dad.

I hate my mother. After all, she was the reason my dad lost his job in the first place.
