SFfC [Eunlice Adaptation]

Chapter 25

Chapter 25

In this city, the streets were usually more lively at night than during the day. The cold temperatures of the winter season can't fend off the enthusiastic men and women looking for some beer and merriment after a hard day's work. Several food stalls were put up on the streets, causing Lisa to slow down her car as she slowly drives to Eunwoo's neighborhood.

Eunwoo made the right decision when he refused to let Yuna have the bedroom that faced the main street. Lisa didn't think it'd be this noisy at night.

Lisa had come to Eunwoo's home several times by now, so the guard at the gate knew her. When he saw Lisa's car, he didn't ask and simply let her in. However, it wasn't easy to find a parking spot at this time of night.

Because there weren't any specific markers in the basketball court parking, the residents basically parked at random. There were a few spaces, but they looked too tight to properly park. Lisa thought back to her previous date with Eunwoo in the amusement park. They encountered a similar situation back then, but Eunwoo was there to skillfully park her car into the tight space.

Now, she didn't have Eunwoo to help her. Moreover, it was in the middle of the night, so it was pretty dark. Lisa slowly moved little by little, heavily relying on her parking assist system.

After Lisa managed to successfully park her car, she sighed in relief. She got out of the car, took her bag, then headed to Eunwoo's home.

There were no elevators in old buildings such as this. Lisa's high-heeled shoes clanged on the metal stairs and echoed on the empty corridor. Eunwoo heard Lisa even before she knocked on their door.

Eunwoo went to the front door, intending to open it for her, but his hand paused halfway. The footsteps got closer and closer, then finally stopped outside the door.

Lisa raised her hand and knocked on the door. "Eunwoo."

Eunwoo stood on the other side of the door hand on the handle. He didn't move for a long time.

Lisa continued to knock outside. "Eunwoo, open the door. I know you're in there."

Eunwoo licked his dry lips, then slowly opened the door.

Lisa looked at him. His hair was a little damp. It seems that he washed his hair just moments before.

"Eunwoo." The two stood there for a moment, separated by the door frame. Then, Lisa broke the silence and said "You said you wanted to break up with me, right? Say it again to my face."

Eunwoo remained silent. He couldn't open his mouth.

Lisa waited for a few seconds, then pushed him to the side, entering the house. Eunwoo watched her go inside, then shut the front door. He followed her, calling out "Lisa..."

Lisa marched straight to Cha ShuLi's door. She stopped, looked at Eunwoo, then asked "Is your mother still inside?"

"Yeah."

Lisa knocked twice, then turned the door handle. The door was unlocked, so Lisa entered the bedroom easily.

Cha ShuLi lay motionlessly on the bed, her back to the door. Lisa went around the bed, her high-heels clicking on the floor, like she stepping on people's hearts.

Cha ShuLi's eyes remained closed. She didn't look at Lisa.

Lisa stood by the bed and looked down on her. She said "Auntie Cha, this is Lisa Manoban. I know you're not asleep. Listen to me. I know you're grief-stricken that Uncle is gone. I know you feel cheated. But you're also an adult. Moreso, you're Cha Eunwoo's mother. It's been three years. Three whole years, and you're still reluctant to go outside? How long are you going to be sick? Do you plan on depending on your son for a lifetime? He's your son, not your prisoner. He's not living in a home, he's living in a cage."
　
Eunwoo stepped forward, wanting to stop her. "Lisa, don't say that..."
