“Even having such a wonderful mother……so jealous, I can’t allow it!”
The rehabilitation members rushed towards Hyun-woo and forcibly made him drink. Hyun-woo sensed the critical situation and once again looked at his mother to request help. However his mother, Jung Hye-sun and Kang Mi-su were talking with each other and were in their own female world. Hyun-woo eventually received the critical hit from the chain of alcohol and beer. How much time had passed from when the tragic incident caused by jealously and misunderstandings started? Hyun-woo suddenly felt a soft hand on his head. He had collapsed from the combined attack of the rehabilitation members. When he looked around the room, he couldn’t see Jung Hye-sun or Kang Mi-su. In the living room, there were the corpses of the rehabilitation members strewn all over the place.
‘Hah, I ended up drinking so much. Huh? Then…….”
Hyun-woo sighed and listened. After feeling the soft touch and the familiar smell, Hyun-woo realized that he was on his mother’s knee. Then the voice of Gwon Hwa-rang was audible from the side.
“Pass him to me. I’ll take him.”
“No, leave him here a little bit longer.”
His mother replied as she continued stroking his hair.
“…….But this house, did Detective Gwon help obtain it? Hyun-woo won’t talk about it…….”
“No. I honestly wanted to help but Hyun-woo refused. Although he is concerned about his mother, he doesn’t like receiving help. Hyun-woo gathered all the funds for the rental deposit by himself. Isn’t it really admirable? It is uncommon for an adult of his age.”
“Please don’t say that.”
“Huh?”
“Hyun-woo doesn’t have a lot in common with adults his age? Yes, that’s right. But it’s not like that. The Hyun-woo I knew originally wasn’t an adult. 6 years ago he was a spoiled child who didn’t understand the world. I wanted the period where he could be a child to last longer. Did you know? I woke up in the ICU and heard your speech to Hyun-woo.”
“……!”
“I knew at that time. The spoiled Hyun-woo was gone and he was going to be an adult……because of me he has to become an adult…..I knew. My heart was pained. Even now my heart is still hurting. Hyun-woo shouldn’t have to be an adult. He should’ve matured at his own rate instead of being forced into it.”
Suddenly, something fell on Hyun-woo’s head. It was his mother’s tears. His mother silently shed tears while firmly holding Hyun-woo’s hand.
“How much…..all his troubles in the meantime…… How much…….”
His mother’s voice gradually became quieter. He felt a sharp pain in his chest. The hot feeling seemed to be welling up from his heart. However, Hyun-woo closed his eyes tightly and held back the tears. He swore, that day……when his mother opened her eyes for the first time in the ICU. He would not cry in front of his mother again. He would only show a smiling expression.
