Chapter Text
Gyeoul walks out and leaves Jeongwon.
She wipes her tears, tries to make it stop,
But it doesn’t.
“That jerk” she is angry.
Stop it Gyeoul, don’t let Yeoreum see it.
Don’t let him see you cry.
Stop it Gyeoul,
she thinks.
She takes a deep breath and drives away.
She waits in front of Yeoreum’s math center,
Still trying to get herself together.
Yeoreum: Eomma!!!
He waves and runs to her.
She welcomes him in her hugs.
Yeoreum: Whoa eomma, you pick me up on time today.
She only smiles and caresses his head.
Yeoreum: Eomma did you cry?
Shocked with his statement, she grabs his hand and take him to the car
Gyeoul: I did, there is a patient with sad story,
She couldn’t help but lie.
Gyeoul: Let’s eat at home okay?
He nods and they drive home.
She cooks his favorite food and serves it.
Yeoreum: Eomma, what is wrong?
Gyeoul: Nothing :)
Yeoreum: why do you often cook jajangmyeon now?
He tilts his head.
She smiles and replies,
Gyeoul: because you like it, eomma will do anything that makes you happy.
Yeoreum: but i don’t like it,
Gyeoul: huh?
Yeoreum: I don’t like it when you have to cook when you are tired after work :(
She froze.
She couldn’t help but look at his eyes.
She stands up and approaches him.
She turns his dinner table chair so he is facing her who is next to him.
And she hugs him and says,
Gyeoul: Yeoreum-ah, eomma really sorry,
She tries to hold her tears
She tries to speak without shaking.
Gyeoul: You’ve been through a lot because of me.
Gyeoul: Eomma, from now on will make sure you are happy every single day
He wraps his arm around her and she hugs him tightly.
Her tears started to fall one by one.
Gyeoul: I am really sorry.
