For almost 15 minutes in the office room, the two of them did not speak at all. Sam just sat on the sofa prepared there, waiting for Wizart to talk with him while Wizart stood stiffly staring at the beautiful view outside the glass window. Various building designs by other companies are as high as that outside the window.
"Wizart..." Sam called in a soft tone. Wizart simply exhaled.
"Why did you come here?" Wizart began to open his mouth to speak.
"Dad already said it. Dad's call...you didn't answer at all. Why didn't you pick up Dad's call?" The father asked Wizart there. Wizart slowly began to take an interest in their conversation. His feet wearing brown leather shoes, and he stepped closer to his father on the sofa. His back was sitting on the couch facing Sam.
"Dad, you don't have to come here anymore..."
"Why? You're my son.."
"Dad, I never thought of you as my biological father. Not."
"So, why do you still call me father even though..you said that I am not your father anymore?"
Wizart was silent when he heard it. It is clear that he still cares about his father. Even though Sam is only a foster father.
"I'm sorry...Please don't contact me again. Get out of my life and don't come here again. I beg you." Wizart gently pleads with Sam not to see or contact him again like his son. Wizart didn't even look at Sam's disappointed face.
"I understand why you are like that. I don't care if you have a mental illness, Wizart. But you are my son. I will always be by your side. Come back to me, my son."
"I'm not the Wizart I used to be...Friendly, cheerful and innocent at that time. I..."
As he continued to speak, his mind flashed back to the painful past. He remembered the incident when Sam, when he was a child, once took a mother who was going to marry him. Wizart, who is still small and mischievous, was scolded by the woman at the dinner table until his mouth was stuffed with a lot of meat to make him shut up. But because Wizart had a weak mental state, a knife on the table was reached and cut his new mother's neck. From there, Wizart was diagnosed with mental illness as a child. At the age of 9, he was able to kill a grown woman. Wizart can't afford to repeat things when he's with Sam.
"That's it, Dad. Please..this is my own decision. So, please be respectful." He said, changing the topic. Because he could not bear to see his father's face, which was upsetting him, he quickly stood up from there with his back to his father.
"Daddy understands, Wizart. Even though you are like this to Dad, Dad still... waits for you to come home to Dad. Come if you need Dad."
Giving a hopeful final word, Sam left the room with a heavy step. He hoped that Wizart would remain his son. He just wants Wizart back in his life.
Wizart, who didn't even look at Sam, left the room and felt very guilty. He had to distance himself so that Sam wouldn't feel sorry for him anymore. He regrets killing the girl his father loved when he was a child. That became a terrible trauma in his life.

Finished the first 10 chapters of her comic book, Teresa sent it to Arick. The distance between their desks is not very far. Just a few steps away.
"Looks like I didn't choose a professional comic writer." Praise Arick with a smile after reading the 10 chapters.
"Thank you, editor." Teresa appreciated the compliment. It is enough to receive praise for the results of his efforts.
"Alright, continue until this comic is the epilogue... I will inform the CEO about your comic and promote this comic. Of course, many comic readers will like it." Arick said with a broad smile. He was happy with Teresa's satisfactory work even though it was only 10 chapters. That's pretty cool.
"Teresa?"
"Yes?"
"Why are you so busy wearing a face mask? You look healthy.." Arick also realized that Teresa seemed to be hiding her face behind the face mask. Teresa just grinned.
"I'm still sick, editor.." Teresa pretended to cough while holding her chest. Acting like it's still sick is an excuse.
"Go to the hospital if you're sick. Our CEO looks at you very strangely. Don't you realize?"
"What?"
It turns out that, in silence, Wizart is very strange to see herself every time she works. It's not that Teresa took off the face mask but instead wore it all the time at work until she got home. It must be strange for Wizart to have such employees in his company.
"I..should continue my work."
"Oh yes...Okay, continue your work."
Teresa quickly changed the subject of the conversation so they wouldn't dwell on the subject. A little later she was caught. She did not want to reveal his face to Wizart at all. It is enough that she can only see his eyes. But not the whole face.

Bright red luggage, red high heels and expensive clothes started looking for someone to pick her up at the airport.
"Where's Brother? He didn't come right away?" She said while looking around the area.
"Hey, Aunty!" A familiar voice was heard from behind his body. She quickly looked towards the voice.
"My brother!!!" Looks like Wizart is already standing with a serious facial reaction to her. Wizart's strong body was hugged tightly by him with a happy feeling. Wizart just let it go.
"I thought you didn't come here."
"I don't want to come pick up a girl like you. Just waste time!" Wizart was cold to her. They started moving side by side toward the main gate of the airport.
"Hey, it's me...VERONICA. I...am your sister. And you...are my older brother. Try to compliment this little sister. I look pretty, right?" Her younger sister named Veronica is very luxurious and a diva person. Wizart quickly looked at how to use it. Sexy until showing cleavage in the middle.
"You look like a crazy aunt." Wizart mocked his sister. Veronica was furious at the insult. Very extreme.
"You are like an old grandfather who is about to die."
"Me? Even though I'm an old grandfather, I'm still handsome in their eyes. You're not very beautiful."
"What?! Errrrr!!!" It made Veronica angrier. Having fun teasing his younger sister at the airport, Wizart laughed at her silently. Veronica quickly hit him from behind.
Unable to bear the fun of being beaten, Wizart immediately ran away from there, leaving Veronica behind. Finally, these two brothers chased each other until they left the airport. His luggage bag was dragged fast after the agile Wizart ran from her. They are like happy children running around outside.
