After Sakamoto professed his love, Oak Sung gives Sakamoto a vow that he'll use very well.
Chapter 7: A Vow
Later that night, Sakamoto returned home and Oak Sung noticed a smile in his son's face and it's like he's had some sort of fun and he asked, "Hey, son...how are you?"
"Doing fine, dad." Sakamoto replied, still smiling.
Oak comes over to him and he wanted to figure out the reason why he's smiling and asked, "What are you so happy about?"
"Dad...something amazing happened to me. I finally told Bao-Yi that I love her." Sakamoto answered.
Oak Sung froze and he widened his eyes after hearing his son's response to him professing his love to her and he said, "That is wonderful, son. Tell me everything."
Both of them got outside and sat down on the ground and Sakamoto couldn't explain it into words, but he began explaining everything that had happened in that hill and Oak couldn't be more happier for his son that he got the courage to express his true feelings to Bao-Yi and after Sakamoto was finished, Oak smiled at him and said, "That good, huh?"
"Dad...it's like everything I've never felt before." Sakamoto added.
Oak patted his son's shoulder and he said to him, "I'm proud of you, son. You've waited this long, but do not lose track of who you are. You can't forget about training, your friends and family. And as I told you before, you have to commit, be faithful to each other and take care of her. She's a very important part of your life now."
"I know, dad. And I promise you...I will do everything I can to make her happy and I'll do the very best to protect her." Sakamoto added.
"And I did notice that she's good at keeping boys' heads straight. She got that from her mother." Oak added.
Sakamoto chuckled softly at this and he said to his dad, "No worries, dad. We won't rush into the next level."
"Very good. You are growing into a very fine young man. Can't believe it has been 16 years since you were born. Now look at you...you are everything I definitely wished for." Oak added.
Sakamoto hugged his dad so much and he definitely felt the same way too and said, "And I'm proud to have a dad with me on this journey."
Just so you know, this takes place a year after Sakamoto returned home from the Valley of Peace. Stick around for more!
