Baby And Me – Episode 15

BABY AND ME Episode 15

She was gone and I had absolutely no clue where I could find her, the girl had no phone and I didnt even know her usual s₱0ts around Gangnam. I had obviously scared her away with my 21 questions but can you blame me, what guy doesnt want to know stuff about the woman he likes? Well certainly not me, I just wanted to know why she ran and maybe I could help her if she was in trouble. I went back downstairs and grabbed my computer, I opened it then just stared not knowing what to do, for the first time in my life, I had a computer in front of me and I couldnt use my skills to find the person I really wanted to find, damnit! I should have put a ch¡p in my clothes too! She had left wearing that sweater I gave her, she loved it so much and it really looked great on her. Anyway I closed my laptop and put the food away, I suddenly had no appetite.

I got an international call from Chace, he was in Brazil

Me “hey man”

Chace “Jude! Whatsup man? You’ve been pretty scarce these days” I scratched my head

Me “I’ve been busy”

Chace “anyway I have great news”

Me “yeah?”

Chace “I am sure little Reignie would love a visit from her uncle huh?”

Me “you’re coming here?”

Chace “yep! My flight to Seoul has been book, I land in the afternoon! Be sure to come get me boy!”

Me “alright”

Chace “well dont sound too excited!”

Me “Im glad you’re coming Chace”

Chace “then why dont you sound like it?”

Me “I have a bit of a situation right now, lets talk later” I hung up before he could say another word. I looked at Reign playing

Me “I really should have taken it easy, your father has zero chill baby girl” she looked at me and laughed “you always laugh at me!” I went to pick her up “you enjoyed having her around didnt you? Having another female in the house…I think daddy got ahead of himself just a little bit, since you dont have a mom and you’re around all these males, I just really want you to grow up with a female influence in your life” I k-ssed her forehead and she held my face and pouted her lip so I k-ssed them

Me “thats daddy’s little girl ” I put her back down then slumped on the couch.

I turned on the tv and the first face I saw was Seo II Joong, Yoona’s father, he was being interviewed about his success. I looked at him talking and wondered, what happened he did to his daughter or what happened to her that made her leave, run away from home and never look back, what did he do to her?

Later on, JinHo hyung and Hye Jung came over again at the house, Reign was taking her name so I was alone in the lounge

JinHo “whats up man!”

Hye Jung “where’s your guest?”

Me “she had to leave this morning”

Jinho “so you took my advice huh and kicked her out?”

Me “what? Of course not! She left…without even saying goodbye”

Hye Jung “aaahhh that doesnt surprise me at all, isnt running what she excels at the most?”

Me “I think I scared her off last night by asking too many questions”

Hye Jung “no…I think she ran because she is shady and she has plenty to hide. She was only going to cause problems for you Blair”

JinHo “exactly! I say…good riddance” I threw my hands in the air in despair and sat down

Hye Jung “Blair…you cant tell me you’re really worried about her?”

JihHo “why in the world would he be worried about a 26 year old grown ass woman?”

Me “you guys dont understand….she….”

JinHo “is this what you’re always like?” I raised my eyebrow

Me “what do you mean?”

JinHo “you like to run after the girls in trouble, the damaged girls, the chicks with issues? You like to be their saviour, their hero?”

Me “what are you talking about?”

JinHo “dude, stay away from girls like that, they bring nothing but trouble! Instead of running after that troublesome heiress…why dont you focus your time on someone like Hye Jung? She is wife material” Hye Jung blushed like a schoolgirl, touching her hair. I wont lie and say I wasnt aware that Hye Jung saw me as a man and not just as her friend but I wasnt interested in her at all, to me she really was just a friend….a sister even. I took in a long breath and exhaled

Me “I cant deal with you guys right now” I threw myself back in the couch, crossing my legs

Hye Jung “Blair…its okay to worry about her because its in your nature but lets face it, she wasnt going to stay long anyway and the fact that she didnt want to talk about her daddy issues means that she’s just got more going on and cant settle in one place. She’s a big girl and I assume a tough one at that so she’s going to be okay” she put her hand on my knee, I opened my eyes and removed her hand then stood up

Me “right! Anything to drink?”

JinHo “I’ll have a beer”

Hye Jung “nothing for me” she sat on the floor with Reign and they played together, I watched them for a second, Riri enjoyed having any female around her and I suppose Hye Jung could be the female influence I wanted her to have. She was a neurosurgen at one of the best hospitals in Gangnam, she was definitely a good role model for her but I would never ever date Hye Jung, she wasnt my type of girl at all.

Hye Jung didnt stay long because she had a shift at the hospital so I remained with JinHo hyung, he wanted us to finish up on some new work that we had started

JinHo “we need to get on something big Blair, we have to keep the money rolling in”

Me “I know, so what were you thinking”

JinHo “since you dont want to be in the field anymore, there is this guy…he has been using a rather unorthodox way to get his money” we spoke about that for a long time and hyung was going to look further into it and I would do what I do best but before then, nothing could take my mind off Seo Yoona # sigh

I left the house early in the morning without any goodbyes because I didnt want Blair Taylor seeing me then talking me out of it. Blair Taylor was exactly the type of person I avoided the most in my life, the type of person who wants to know everything about me, the type of person who thinks that they can save me, protect me or help me with whatever I am “going through” I hated that kind of person because I am a big girl, I know the streets of Seoul better than anyone because for 5 years of my life, I have been living on them, I can take care of my self and I definitely dont need saving . So I left because I didnt want him prying into my life and asking me questions, especially now that he knew that my father was indeed the great Chairman Seo, everyone asked those questions…why would I run away, why would I leave my home to suffer on the streets, a chaebol of a father to go and scrape for my next meal but what they didnt realise is that, leaving on the street was way better than living in that house.

I left for Myeong Deong early that morning still in the clothes he gave me. I went to the save the wills containers to find some good and warm clothes to wear so I could ditch the ones Blair Taylor had given to me, I couldnt continue to wear his clothes in case that freak put some kind of tracking device in them.

After finding something warm to wear, I went to the nearest convenience store and bought myself some noodles, I sat down and ate. My friend Yoo Ran finally decided to show, that place was our meeting s₱0t for everyday exactly at that time then we would hang out the rest of the day, some days she couldnt come because unlike me she had familial responsibilities. Because we grew up together and we became more like sisters, she is the only person I kept in touch with from my past life, she still hung out with me everyday and gave me money, brought me clothes and other stuff

Me “finally you show up!”

YooRan “ya…where the hell were you yesterday?! I waited!”

Me “at some guy’s house, he’s American” her jaw fell

Yoo Ran “Mwo!! What were you doing in some American guy’s house?!”

Me “I stole his wallet once…he saved me from dying out in the cold one night then he found me on the street fighting for some stuff, he took pity on me and asked me to move in with him”

YooRan “move in….wha?! What is happening right now?!” I laughed

Me “is your mind being blown right now?” I chuckled

YooRan “then what happened?! What happened?”

Me “he had some nosy annoying friends over, he introduced me and one of them clicked that thr Chairman might be my father”

YooRan “aaahhhh then he started asking questions, wanting to understand why you’d rather be street people when you have a chaebol as a father” I sighed loudly

Me “you said it sister” she nodded

YooRan “so you ran?”

Me “I lefr”

YooRan “Seo Yoona!!”

Me “whaaat? You know I hate it when people pry into my life, they all think they can save me or something but I am fine”

YooRan “then how long do you plan to live like this? You cant be happy living like this”

Me “I dont know Mo Yoo Ran, all I know is that I can never go back to my father”

YooRan “he’s been asking about you”

Me “what does he want to know?”

YooRan “he asked if I had seen you or if we still keep in touch” I looked at her “I said I didnt know! That we havent spoken in years”

Me “good girl”

YooRan “he wants people to go looking for you, he said I should let him know if I hear from you again” I let out a slight laugh

Me “ha! Whaaa…my father is really something else isnt he? Why is he only looking for me now? Its been 5 long years!”

YooRan “maybe he wants you to go back home”

Me “then what about his precious son? The one he favoured over me”

YooRan “Yoona…..” she said with her tone filled with pity

Me “dont….just dont….you know what my father can look for as long as he wants…he will never find me”

YooRan “Gangnam is not that big a place my friend, your father is a very powerful man who will do anything to get what he wants, he has sent out his best people to find you” I sighed again as I took a sip of my warm milk

Me “I think I might have a great hiding place” I smiled

YooRan “where? Where will you go?”
