Seeing the contact on the call, his hands became sweaty. He couldn’t pick up the call and respond, he could be found out. But if he doesn’t lift, then it would create more suspicions. Parents are probably the only people in this world who could easily identify their children’s problems without words. 

Even though he was in Kim Joon-won’s body and sounded like him, he was still essentially not him. He never had a parent in his old life now he needed to speak with the father of the dead person who he took over. 

He slowly closed his eyes and remembered everything he could from the original Kim Joon-won’s memories. 

Kim min-seok was his name. He was a simple man who supported his children with everything he has. That is also the reason he sent Kim Joon-won to a drama school and chase his dream even though his salary wasn’t much. 

Zen Su approved such a man who cared and loved his children and was willing to do anything for them. Such a man deserved respect. The more he went through Joon-won’s memories he understood more his family. 

After a few more seconds he finally took a deep breath and clicked on the answer button like an ape using technology. 

“Ah, Joon-won, what are you doing? Why did it take you so long to lift the phone? Are you out partying again? I’m telling you now you better. Be careful, it’s different in the big cities, unlike our small town. Joon-won are you listening? OI.” Min-Seok’s voice blasted through the speaker. He fired questions at him without any break. 

Joon-won couldn’t help but smile a little as he heard the rough voice from the other side. He could hear the concern in the man’s voice only because he lifted the phone a bit late. As an orphan, he couldn’t help but feel good. 

Turning the speaker off, he kept the phone against his ear and Slowly said, “I’m fine dad, I was eating just now and my phone was inside the bedroom. How are you?” 

As he finished, silence filled the room, Mom-Seok, did not reply and Joon-won was waiting for a reply. After a few seconds Joon-won couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, are you still there? Can you hear me? I’m asking how are you?” With some concern. 

Unknowingly his personality and thoughts slowly started to merge with that of the old Joon-won as he showed concern towards a stranger but felt familiar with him. 

“Ah, no I was rather surprised by your question. Are you ok, Joon-won? You don’t sound well?” Min-Seok finally responded with even more concern. 

Joon-won was shocked as he heard even more concern coming from the other side. He closed his eyes once again trying to search his memories once again and finally found an answer. 

The problem was him, or rather the original Joon-won. He would never call his family back and was also rather avoiding them after coming to the city to study. This was all due to the sudden change in the culture he experienced after coming here. 

This all explained the sudden concern Min-Seok showed when he asked him a very simple question. He couldn’t help but shake his head at how immature the original Joon-won was. The family was the base for everything a man can achieve in his life. If it wasn’t for his hard-working father he would never have come to a big city to study something like acting. 

“Do you have a fever? Is it exhaustion? Do you have body pains? These are all the symptoms of the disease a few years back. Many people got it then. Even though you got vaccinated you still need to be very careful with this. Should I come over there? Better why don’t you come over?” He continued to show concern. If it was anyone else, they would have been irritated but Zen Su didn’t think so as a small smile was on his face. 

“No, Dad. I’m ok it’s not that disease or anything like that. I am perfectly fine. Don’t react so violently for only a small change like this. There will be many more in the future. I just thought it was a time to change how things were going after I came here. So tell me how are you doing there?” 

“HAHAHAHAH, Yes yes, everything is well now that you made a very good decision in your life. I’m very happy that you are finally taking the right paths. I can finally sleep well tonight.” He laughed so loud that Joon-won moved the phone away from his ears. But he had a smile on his face when he heard him laugh. 

“Yes, Dae. Everything is going to be well. So are everything well over there?” 

“I just answered your question have you gone deaf? Don’t worry too much about us. I and your sister both are well. Just now she went into her room to study for her exams too. Do you want to talk with her?” 

“No, no it’s ok. Let her study. She is already in high school now. It’s important for her to study. Alright then Dad, go and sleep, you have work tomorrow don’t you?”

“Yes, yes you should also sleep early. You have classes again tomorrow. Your final exam of the year is also coming soon isn’t it, study well.” He didn’t forget to remind Joon-won before finally cutting the call. 

Placing the phone to the side, he leaned back before taking a deep breath and exhaling in relief. His heart was full of warmth when he talked with Min-Seok just now and he loved that feeling. 

“My father. In this life even though you didn’t give birth to me, I will take care of you as my own.” He murmured his thoughts out as the idea cemented in his mind.
