MOM

< UNEDITED >

Looking at the shabby, small cottage, Jungwon smiled as he show off his 'home' to his sister.

"This is where I live." Another tear escaped from her eye as she couldn't help but to overthink about her brother's situation.

She's living a luxurious, comfortable life while her brother endured, sleeping on a dirty place where bugs are everywhere.

"How cute." She mumbled.

"Here, let me show you my surprise." He joyfully went over the door and knocked on it. Soon the door opened revealing a two kids.

"Daddy!" The two shouting in sync and ran onto their father, giving him a tight hug.

"How's my little Jungri, and my baby Junghon? Is Jungri noona, taking care of baby Junghon?"

"Of course, Daddy. I felt bad for noona cause she only did nothing but to take care of me." The boy pouted and his sister looked away as she was flustered.

Y/N who's watching couldn't help but to feel in awe. It reminded her of them when they were little.

"Daddy, who is she?" Jungri asked, pointing at Y/N who's shredding in tears.

"Ah, do you remember the sister of mine that I always tell you two? It's her." The two kids looked upon her as their eyes lit up in amazement.

"Auntie Y/N?" She bent down over their eye level and gave them a hug.

"Wah, I can't believe I had a rich auntie!" Junghon squealed as he began to jump up and down.

"Junghon, manners." Their father scolded and Junghon immediately hid behind his sister.

"Don't scare him, sheep." The two quietly laughed as they heard Y/N calling their father sheep and Jungwon glared at her.

"I told you, I hate that name." He whispered.

"Whether you like it or not, you're still a sheep, and you're always will be." The two kids couldn't hide their laughter anymore and burst out.

"You two, get inside. I have something to deal with your auntie." The two did as what their father said and entered inside their small house.

"Where's their mother?" The first thing Y/N asked as soon the two left.

"She... She left me cause I have nothing to give her. She only loved me because of my looks... I guess?" Y/N watched as her brother smile in pain.

"Don't think of that... I'm sure there's more of reason why she left you. If she doesn't want you because you have nothing, then she should have left you already when you two still have your first born." Jungwon looked up onto his sister and saw her smile.

She have a point, the mother of his children should have left him when they still have Jungri... But they still made love and had Junghon as the fruit.

"Don't judge people too quickly without searching out." She wiped the remaining tears he had on his cheeks and kissed his forehead.

"She might come back, bringing you the thing you wanted to have for you and your children."

"Uncle, calm down." Yeji pleaded as she and her other uncles held his arm, trying to calm him down from throwing a fit.

"Dad, please stop!" Sungjoon from the other hand sobbed, trying to get away from his uncle Jake's grip.

"Leave me alone! All of you!" Sunghoon shouted, pointing a bottle at them.

"But, Dad..."

"Leave." He finally calmed down and all of the people inside left, except for his son who's willingly to hear out his problems.

"I told you to leave." He uttered, pointing at the door.

"Are you okay?" The kid stuttered, wiping his runny nose.

"Get out, I wanna be alone."

"No, you don't, Dad. You need someone." Sunghoon stayed silent for a few seconds before letting himself fall on the floor with his heavy breathing and eyes closed.

"She doesn't love me anymore." He mumbled and soon fell into a deep slumber.

"Dad." Sungjoon moved his father's arm but it seems like he's in a very deep slumber because of the drunkenness.

The kid wander his eyes around and spotted his father's phone.

Should I contact Mom?

He firstly stared at his father's phone for few seconds and finally decided to contact his mother. He looked for her phone number which is named "my beautiful wife" and dialed it.

But she didn't pick up the first call.

The kid dialed his mother again, and again, until she finally answered on the 6th call.

"What do you need?"

"Mom, this is Sungjoon. Can you go home now? Dad's not feeling well, he got into trouble earlier and now, he's only sleeping on the floor."

A long silence filled the other line and later on, Sungjoon only found out that she cut off the call without saying any word.

"I know, she won't listen to me." The kid shrugged, letting go of his father's phone and threw a pillow beside his father for him to sleep.

"Goodnight, Dad." He kissed his father's forehead before laying down beside him and closed his eyes.

Sooner or later, the kid finally fell asleep between his father's embrace, and just on the right time, the door creaked open revealing an exhausted Y/N.

A smile escaped from her lips as soon she saw the two but then fade when she remembered that her husband is back from being alcoholic.

"I wish I could throw you on the bridge, Park." She murmured underneath her breath as she gently lifted Sungjoon up and placed him in his old bed which is inside their old shared bed room.

She smiled, kissing the kid's forehead and went proceed to her husband with her arms around his hips. She let out a loud sigh and began to help him out towards their old shared bed.

A bed with full of memories of them together.

"Hon, is that you?" Sunghoon groaned as he felt like he's been thrown into a soft mattress.

But knowing that her husband had woken up, she put on her usual face, a cold, blank, full of hatred to be seen.

She ignored his question and turned around, walking away but before she could go any further, he held her wrist.

"Do you wanna know why I cheated?" She only stayed silent, listening to his heavy breathing.

"My Dad... He asked for a grandson to inherit his beloved company and if I didn't give what he wanted... He'll arrange me with someone and take you away from me." He explained with a hoarse voice, showing his drunkenness.

"P-please... I did it because I don't want you to be away from me... I don't think I can live without you..." A tear fell down from her eye but she quickly wiped it, taking a deep breath.

"You know how evil your father is but you still care about his feelings? How about me? Do even care about what I feel?" He went silent for a moment and Y/N felt like her wrist was freed from his hand. She looked back at him to see him, snoring.

"I guess you're too blind."

And then she left, with nothing but tears.
