He can't contain himself from smiling. He was playing with his keys when the main door opened. "Good evening, Mrs. Bang." Jinyoung happily greeted her. "You seemed happy. Had a great day at school?" She asked. "Yes! So great that nothing can ruin my..." Jinyoung stopped when he saw his mother sitting by the couch in the living room. "mood."
"Jinyoung, do you know what time is it? Do you usually get home at this time? Is this what you do when I'm not home?" His mother asked then averted her attention to Mrs Bang, "why did I hire you for? Are you supposed to be watching him? Do you let him get home at his hour?"
Jinyoung didn't say anything which made his mother more angry. "Cat got your tongue? School's over since 4:00 and you get home at almost 9:00? Where were you? Answer me, Jinyoung! Damn it!" His mom threw something at him but Jinyoung kept mum.
Mrs. Bang answered instead, "Jinyoung is a good kid, Mrs. Park. He gets home before 5:00 everyday. Maybe, he needed to do something at school"
Mrs. Park calmed down and poured herself a drink and waved at Jinyoung to go to his room but before he get to move, she said "you're grounded and you're not allowed to leave this house until I said so...you go straight home after school everyday if you don't want me to do something drastic"

"Yes, ma'am" the only thing Jinyoung said. He entered his room followed by Mrs. Bang. He threw his bag on the floor and asked, "Why does she do this to me? She's barely home and when she does, she ignores me...then now, she cares what I do?!?"
Mrs. Bang pulled Jinyoung into a hug and replied, "she must be having a bad day...your father went to another business trip without telling her. You must understand her. You'll know it once you fall in love"
"If falling in love makes you miserable then I don't want it..."
"What are you talking about, child? Falling in love is the best feeling in the world...yes, there will be heartache and misery but once you find the person for you...you'll see. Now, go shower and I'll bring you food to eat here if you want"
Jinyoung hugged Mrs. Bang tightly. She has been a mother figure to him than his own mother. She always find warmth from her voice & hug. "Thank you so much for loving me like your own. Oh, I'm not hungry...I already ate."
"You did? What did you eat? And who you with?" Mrs. Bang now has her arms on her waist questioning Jinyoung.
