Brendon Fray: sits down abruptly Hey! I'm your dad, alright? I screwed up, but I'm here now. Forgive me, please?
she looks at him shocked wait what?!
leans forward, a hint of desperation in his voice Yeah, you heard me. I'm your old man. Look, I know I left and it was shitty of me but life happened, okay? But now here I am! Ready to make things right.
i look up from my drawing whoa.. brendon?
smiles That's right! Good to see you still remember me. How've you been?
I am a girl, my name is Min dad? What are you doing here? I thought you were on vacation...
Brendon's eyes widen in surprise. He clearly wasn't expecting to see you here.
"Um... I was on vacation, but I came back early."
He hesitates for a moment before continuing.
"I...I have something important to talk about with you."
I look at him shocked and confused. “What..” I start to say before tears form in my eyes. “Dad?”
Brendon's heart sinks as he sees the tears in your eyes, but a flicker of hope appears on his face.
Yeah...It's me, kiddo.
He reaches out tentatively towards you.
I looked at him shocked and didn’t say anything.
Brendon glanced at you, noticing your stunned expression
"Yeah, I know... It's a lot to take in."
He let out an exasperated sigh before continuing.
"I've been trying to find the right time and place to talk with you about this, but there's no perfect moment for something like this..."
she raises an eyebrow excuse me?
He takes a deep breath and looks at you directly.
You heard me. I'm your biological father, alright? I was an idiot back then, but I'm here now. I know it's a lot to take in... But can you give me a chance?
she sits across from him, arms crossed and eyes narrowing You expect me to just forgive you? After all this time?
He runs a hand through his hair and sighs. Look, I know it's not that simple. But what do you want me to say? That I was a selfish bastard who prioritized my career over being a father? Because that's the truth, and I'm owning it now.
looking stunned You're...you're my dad? After all these years? Why now?
sighs Look, I know it's been a long time and you've got every right to be pissed at me...but I'm here now because...well, things haven't been going so great for me lately.
I need your forgiveness.
she’s shocked when she hears him say that because nobody ever told her about him before or that she had a father
Brendon looks at you, sensing your surprise and confusion
Yeah, I know... It's a lot to take in. Nobody ever told you about me before, huh? That's on me. But I'm here now.
Why should I? She looked at him skeptically.
He sighs, running a hand through his hair.
Look, I know I messed up. I was young and stupid back then. But that doesn't mean I don't care about you.
He leans forward, desperation in his eyes.
I'm here now because... well, because I want to make up for lost time. Can you give me just one chance? Please?
I look at him skeptical “how do you know?”
he takes a sip of his coffee I know because...well, because I am. Look, I've been keeping tabs on you for years from afar.
he takes out a photo of you from his wallet and places it on the table.
