JOOHYUN

"How's my lovely sister's date last night? Yeri excitedly barge in my room without knocking, making me at least to remain inside my wardrobe.

"Big sister? The details please!!." By the time I walk out and face her, her beaming happiness turned into a worried one. "Bae, what -. What the hell happened?"

"Mom caught me." I release a deep sigh as she immediately hug me without saying anything.

"Breakfast." We both heard Mom say yet she just scoff and fixated her eyes on me.

"Bae, are you --." She whispered but I cutted her off.

"Yeri, will you do me a favor? I asked and she immediately nodded, and grip my hand.

"Did she get your phone?" I shook my head.

"It's the least of my problem today Yeri." I turned in front my vanity mirror and fix my uniform.

"What do I need to do?" She asked, with a pretty big smile on her lips.

"L and I would be seeing today in front of the university. And knowing Mom, she probably won't let me attend today, Would you please give this to her? If ever you bump into her." I desperately asked.

"And Yeri, don't tell her anything okay?" She nodded before giving me a teasing smile.

"I will and don't - -." A loud knock outside made us both startled and quickly walk outside my room. Mom just look at us particularly at me, and march to the kitchen which we followed silently. We ate in silent, and no one dare to ask why's and what if's.

"Mom we're go - -." I am cutted off as she took her coffee in her hand.

"Yeri will go. And you are staying since you're grounded." Yeri and I look at each other as if she is not making any sense.

"I am in college now Mom. Are you -."

"Upstairs Bae Joohyun!!" I cackled yet I don't really have time to argue. So, I patted Yeri before storming in my room, change my clothes and lie down in bed.

"Phone." I am startled but still able to hand her my phone.

"Think what will happen next if you disobey me again Joohyun." I sighed before closing my eyes.

Last night....

"Where have you been young lady?" I am startled and even froze where I am standing that I couldn't even answer nor speak up.

"Where were you?" I gulp when she walk closer.

"Out, obviously M-." My eyes went wide when she literally grab my face and smell just right through my mouth.

"You went out without my permission? And then what? Since when did you start drinking?" I brush her hand off which made her angrier and slap me enough to tilt my face on the other side.

"Answer me Joohyun."  I just sighed and met her gaze.

"You know I don't drink Mom." She scoff and grip both of my forearm once more.

"Why are you disobeying me? Why are you behaving like you're not my daughter BAE! JOOHYUN!?" I remained silent as my gaze fixated her.

"I am your daugther Mom but you don't own me." I fired back yet she just furrowed her eyes down and cackled out of nowhere.

"What is she doing to you Joohyun? Is she threatening you? Is she making you do anything against your will?" I sarcastically laugh before forcefully brushing her grasp off.
