Kai's Mom:
"I was actually really scared that you didn't want to see me. I'm really embarassed. I did something horrible to you, but I didn't want you to go through the same thing I went through."
Kai:
"What even happened?"
Kai's Mom:
"Well, your father cheated on me. I asked for a divorce and he kept threatening me. So I ran away. He kept threatening me if I told anyone. He took away all my money I was broke. I couldn't take you with me. Then I met my now husband."

"No problem. I just wanted thank your son for everything. So thank you for coming."

Kai's Mom:
"I promise son."
Kai waves goodbye to his mom, and then she leaves.
Kai closes the door.
He slowly turns around to Miyeong.
A year rolls down his face.
Miyeong:
"Aww Kai!"
Miyeong walks over to Kai and wipes his tear.
Miyeong:
"Don't cry! Today is supposed to be a happy-"
Kai interrupted Miyeong and gives her a hug.
Kai never hugs first, Kai doesn't usually give hugs, whenever someone hugs him, he doesn't hug back.
Miyeong was obviously startled.
But she smiles and quickly hugs him back.
Miyeong:
"You finally hugged me back. This is rare."
Kai hugs tighter.
Kai:
"Thank you Miyeong."
Miyeong:
"No, thank you. You deserve so much more."
Kai:
"No, this was enough."
Miyeong grabs Kai's face and wipes off any tears.
Miyeong:
"I'm glad your happy now."
Kai smiles.
He feels his heart beat faster. He gets red.
He's still hugging Miyeong, maybe she can feel his heartbeat.
"Why is my heart beating like this"
kai thinks to himself
Kai looks down at Miyeong and sees her smiling.
"Should I?" He tells Himself
"Just do it" he tells Himself .
Kai grabs Miyeong's face and gives her a kiss..
