just a bit of affection 2. (kth.)

39. Choices Made.

Jia POV...

We were in the middle of the party when I saw joo yeong walking away. I excused myself and walked to her.

"joo yeong!!!" she immediately turned and looked at me.

It was still a bit awkward. "well are you leaving?" I asked.

"yes, I am." she replied.

"oh-" I couldn't complete myself when she held my hands and spoke.

"Keep him happy and be happy yourself. I am sorry for everything and sorry on behalf of your mother also. I regret it all. " she said with a smile.

" where are you going?" I directly ask her.

"well I am going to New Zealand for fresh start. Hope you have a happy married life" she said with a smile and hugged me. I hugged her back patting her back.

she pulled away and walked out. She stopped and turned. "if you can just meet your mom once. Just once." she said and left leaving me all flustered.

The whole country was echoing with the news. Everyone was talking about The news was all about cha Jia and Kim taehyung.

From their wedding to jia's coronation as the Queen consort. The retirement of the older Kim couple. The modern day royalty.

The news after going everywhere reached the jail.

A week later.....

CENTRAL JAIL.

A middle age woman in dull clothes was in the ground walking around unlike those girls who didnt care for a thing.

The woman was walking around. Happily.

She was still happy and delusional because she thought she had killed her before coming.

Only one though revolved her head. The regret. The regret of not being able to see her daughter fall down as she was shot.

Other than that she was more than happy.

"inmate no.666." a voice called and the woman turned. "you have a visitor" she said and walked away.

"Heo Sooji. Call me that." she said and followed.

Walking through the small paths surrounded by police guards. She silently walked with a messy pony and a dull jail suit.

Few minutes later she is let inside a small room. It was dark inside. "who has come to meet me?" she ask sarcastically laughing.

"The person because of whom you are in jail." as the voice said and she froze on her spot. Immediately rushing close to the glass frame. The room lit up and Jia sat there.

Wearing a sophisticated blue dress and well placed beautifully. a bodyguard just behind her. Many other guards stood behind them facing outside.

"you-?" her mom was petrified seeing her.

"you didn't die?" she asked.

"unfortunately no. I don't know what you have heard but I don't remember dying. Someone told me 'I ain't dead'" she said with a slight smile.

"I came here on request of someone. I don't have much to say but I gotto update you since you live inside the jail. And I also gotto tell you something"

Her mom just scoffed "are you here to mock?" she asked.

"no, I just wanted to tell you I don't hate you." she said and her mother scoffed.

"guess what but I hate you" she said smiling.

"I dispise you. You disgust me. I don't see you on the same level as me to hate you. I look down on you." she said spitting her inner truth.

Her mother was fuming in anger. "it feels sinful to have such feelings for someone who gave birth to me. But guess what among the 3 of us. I wasn't the psychopath. I just lied beyond everyone's narrow view of mind and guess what that makes you the biggest psychopath. In short we may be in the same cubicle right now. But you are inside where you are a criminal and I am the Queen." she said with a plain face.

She took a deep breathe while her mom didn't dare to move."Well I married Taehyung a week ago. I had a lot of work so I couldn't come meet you. But here I am bringing the latest gossips."

"what did you exactly come for?" she asked.

"to give you this" she said passing her a small ring from under the glass barrier space.

"it's the wedding ring dad wears. He decided to tour the world with a certain someone, million times better than you.

About our business. Jae yi and eun woo took over it. Since I have my own work too.

Also you said you will take my everything. Well I still have assets more than you and love more than you can ever give or take and you know who my legal heir is. " she said and leaned closer.

" It is my DAUGHTER. A daughter whom I will love. A husband who I love and a family who will never hate me. You had it all until jealousy took over." as she said she got up did a little bow and left her mom sat their frozen.

She turned once " I think I won't ever want to come here. So I will tell you. Byul calls me eomma as you know. Probably which I will never call you" she said and left.

Thinking and rethink choices. She regrets it all. Tears beamed but there was no turning back as she saw her daughter walk away.

" you look beautiful honey" she mumbled before the jail warden pulls her out of their and walks her back to her cell. She clenched unto the ring and walked back while crying.

Both of them walked away opposite direction. One had a shining ring while the other's was clenched in her palm.

One walked with confidence while the other was walking crying.

One walked surrounded with suited bodyguards while the other walked being dragged by cell officers.

It's the result of the choices both made. One got it all while the other lost it all.

She may have regret now. But doesn't matter anymore. The damage was done.
