"mom, how are you feeling now?" sunwoo asked, kneeling down next to his mother's bed as she gave him a weak pat on the head, trying her best to smile at him despite the numerous machines attached to her.

while the pair talked in hushed voices, chanhee stood awkwardly by the door, his hands locked behind his back as he watched them interact. despite her being much paler than in the photos he had once seen of her, chanhee still saw the uncanny resemblance between the duo, his mother having the same eyes, nose and smile as sunwoo albeit her features were a tad bit gentler.

"and um, mom, this is my boyfriend chanhee." chanhee snapped out of his thoughts upon hearing his name and timidly walked forward, never having had met any of his previous partners' parents before and being at a complete loss on what to do.

sunwoo's mom looked chanhee up and down before raising a hand up to pat his head as well, chanhee sitting down next to sunwoo so she could easily do so. "sunwoo-ah, can you get me juice from outside?" she asked suddenly, smiling at both the boys sat before her.

sunwoo raised an eyebrow but neverthless did as told, gently squeezing chanhee's hand before he left him with his mother.

once the door shut, chanhee instinctively felt fear. what if she didn't like him? what if she wanted sunwoo to be with someone else? what if-

"thank you for loving my son," she said, shocking chanhee as she went and held his hand in hers, shifting her weight to the side so that she could make eye contact with her sons' loverboy. "sunwoo always lived with such high walls built around him that i always feared that no one would be able to see past that but the universe answered my fears and put you into his life and for that, i'm eternally grateful."

"it's really easy to love your son ma'am so thank you for raising him up so well," chanhee replied, trying his best to calm himself down. talking with parents was not chanhee's strong suit — in fact, he would say that it was a weakness of his given how his own parents never treated him right. but then, sunwoo's mom came in and thanked him for something so simple and showed him her honest gratitude which completely caught him off guard.

sunwoo's mom continued smiling at him, gently brushing aside loose strands of hair on his face and tucking them behind his ears. "please be patient with my son okay chanhee? he may struggle to show it at times but i'm sure he really loves you enough for him to even show you to me so, i know this might be too much to ask for but please stay by his side and take care of him," she continued, cupping chanhee's face in her hands, her gentle touch being something that chanhee had never felt with his own mother.

whenever he was with his mother, every second her touch so much as grazed his skin, he immediately tensed up, unsure of what scrutiny he would be put under. but, sunwoo's mom, much like sunwoo himself, held him gently and warmly as though he were something, someone, precious to them.

"he's had to grow up so fast because of me and yet, he's never once complained about anything." chanhee remained quiet, taking in every word she said. "so please, please continue to love my son for as long as you can," she said, tears welling up in her eyes out of sheer joy that after a long while, sunwoo finally had someone to give him the affection he so deserved.

chanhee nodded, holding his pinky out for her to take. "i promise i'll continue to be there for your son," he said, sunwoo's mother chuckling at his determination before locking pinkies with her possible son-in-law.

"the line was so long to get juice- what are you two up to?" chanhee freed his finger from her and looked at sunwoo innocently as his mother simply smiled at him.

"oh, i was just telling chanhee embarrassing stories about you," she said, sunwoo's ears burning a bright red at the thought of all the stupid things he had done in his life.

and, as hours passed filled with laughter and joy, chanhee couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging with the mother-son duo, his mind finally registering that this was what home felt like.
