Two Families (2)

"Pack your things starting tomorrow."

Dad suddenly said while watching TV in the living room.

I looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"P-pack everything..?"

"Yes. We're moving to another country."

My eyes went wide as I looked at him and my heart sank to my stomach.

"Dad, what are you talking about!? I have promotion exams that day!"

I protested but he looked over at me with a sharp gaze that made me shrink in fear.

"If I said to pack, then do as I say! How can you disobey your own parents like this?"

"W-what..? I didn't mean to, but I just... I don't know what to-"

I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder as I turned my head to find my mom's sharp gaze at me that made a shiver run down my spine.

"W-why are you two like this...!? Are there any reasons... To do this!?"

"Your mom and I moved our workplace."

"No, Dad. It doesn't make any sense, both of you-"
