Ch. 12 - Approvals

"It's still my dream to start my own company. But, like you said, Dad, I do doubt myself. I'm my worst enemy and I'm just scared of failure," I admit to him.

"Well, I don't see why when you've been making major strides with the company you're working for! Again, I know that you could succeed on your own. And, if there are obstacles you face when you to decide to take a step into your own business, you have me as support or I'm here if you need advice or anything, kiddo," he smirks and ruffles my hair.

"I appreciate that, Dad," I smile back.

"And maybe all your dating is distracting you!" He says teasingly.

"DAD!" I scold him. And he raises his hands in the air acting guilty.

"I'm just saying, pumpkin," he says, following it with a chuckle.

Then, out of nowhere, he brings up a topic that I wasn't expecting from him.

He brings up the man who I have only seen a couple times, through Jin and Yoongi, since he showed up at my door steps on Valentine's Day about a month ago.

"So, I know you and Joon used to be close back in the day, and then you stopped communicating a bit because of your busy adult lives. Lately he's been bringing you up a lot."

"Oh, he has?" I raise an eyebrow at him. It's strange Joon is talking about me to my dad.

My dad and Joon are close. My dad is a successful businessman and he's been a mentor to Joon. My dad has welcomed all of Jin's closest friends as if they're his honorary sons, and he's always given Joon advice when it comes to his career. So, I'm not shocked that Joon has been talking to my dad, in general, but I'm surprised he's bringing me up to him.

"Is something going on between you and Joon?" My dad questions me, taking a sip from his coffee mug right after.

"Not really. We've spent more time together the past year, that's all," I tell him. There's no need for my dad to know all the details.

"I figured. He would mention you from time to time, when we'd meet up for coffee to talk about his business. And, he would go on about how he's been happy seeing you more during the past year and embraces having you back in his life." My dad pats me on my knee.

"Oh," is all I can muster out. I take a swig of my coffee, not wanting to discuss Joon any further.

"I know the kid has his Lothario* past. I mean he reminds me of me when I was younger!" He shares with me and I don't appreciate hearing that.

"Dad, ew! I don't want to know about your promiscuous past!" I throw my dad a disgusted look and he lightly chuckles.

"Oh, is that too much information, kiddo? Sorry. But anyway, back to Joon- he doesn't seem like the same kid he was. He has a good head on his shoulders and he's really doing well with his company. I'm really proud of him."

"Okay..." I sip on my coffee some more.

"Y/N, why don't you consider you and Joon?" He asks me, innocently.

"Dad! Where is this coming from?" I question him back. There's no way Joon put my dad up to having this discussion with me. There's no way.
