I was still taken a back by whatever happened at the karaoke club. I was shocked, that lady looked like she belonged from some affluent background. The main thing which bothered me was how did she know Jisoo unnie?

Was she some distant friend of her or relative. I had many questions in my mind but the look on Jisoos face restrained me from asking her anything.

I took a deep breath and held her shoulder,

"I don't know what the problem is unnie but everything will be fine. We'll work things out." I wanted to relax her a bit, I already saw her limping all the way home.

"how did you wrench your ankle? Is it serious?" i slowly asked while looking at it but she was still motionless like before.

I again shook her, "Unnie? Please don't act like this you are making me feel worried."

I stopped and waited for answer but she was looking me blankly, I then again spoke,

"What is the issue and why does that women have such effect on you unnie?"

I finally lost my patience, immediately after that I regretted. Her eyes started to fill with tears, she was sobbing silently. She started to sniffle then wiped the tears off her face.

"She's um...She's my mother." she heavily spoke. I could feel the pain in her voice, she had never mentioned about her family. All the years I spent with her, she never talked about her mother or anyone else.

Her reaction on seeing her mother like this was now bit reasonable. It seemed like something big happened among them

"Is everything okay between you two?" I slowly spoke. I didn't want to hurt her more so I had to be very careful with my words.

At that moment a bitter laugh escaped her lips, "Everything okay?" she shook her head.

"10 years, 10 years have been passed and suddenly today she popped up again out of know where, what do you expect will everything be fine among us?" her eyes showed sorrow, pain, hate everything.

I was so embarrassed, I didn't know what to say. I bit ny lip, realising thatvit wasn't the right time for questions,

" Unnie, people come and go but you know what makes us strong? The sorrows. Right now you have to be strong and this time face everything confidently. Whatever the problem is, I'm sure will be solved." i slowly spoke in a gently voice.

I knew this wasn't enough to calm her but  I tried. She slowly smiled at me then got up..

I knew she wanted to be alone so I didn't bother her and went in the kitchen to make food.

It was already night and we had been hungry since evening. I made something light, we both loved fried rice so I cooked some of that and then also fried some chips.

I wanted to make her bit happy. The look on her face was very concerning. It felt like she had never been happy all throughout her life. That women really had some effect on her! I thought.

Soon after I was done cooking I hastened towards Jisoos room, I was about to open the door when I heard,

"I'm not your puppet mom, you have already got everything what do you want now?" the way Jisoo spoke was so new. I could how bitter she was, I couldn't understand what was really the issue among them.

I didn't know whether to go in or not. I leaned on the door and waited for her to end the call and soon after she did, it was obvious, she wasn't gonna keep the call very long especially with  her.

I then opened the door and went in,

"Guess what I cooked." I plastered a big smile on my face and sat beside her.

I knew she was in a bad mood but still she smiled for me,

"let me guess, fried rice? Right?" she chuckled. This made me laugh too,

"So wanna watch a movie while eating?" I asked, I wanted to do everything which could make her feel nice. I wanted to divert her mind from today's incident.

"Okay, let the party begin today." she never said no to me even in her hardest days, she always cared for me and today I realised how blessed I was to have her.

**************

While we were eating Jisoos phone started to ring, My head immediately popped up, i was scared what if she called her again?

"Yes? I'll have it done, Mr Seok. Tomorrow? London? Okay, yes. 2 days? I'll be on time. What about those files you wanted me to work on?" she started to talk on the call.

She looked so serious while working. Throughout the movie time, she looked gloomy and lost.

I was happy that atleast work would keep her busy. I kept watching movie after some time when she hung up then I turned to her,

"You'll be going on some trip?" I asked.

She simply nodded and got up. Right as she stood up, a whine left her mouth which made me fall on the couch again.

Automatically her hand went to her sprained ankle. I crawled to her,

"Wait let me bring pain relieving spray and ointment. You have a trip too, you better rbe carefully unnie."

I got up and went to get the first aid box. I knew the pain inside her was much more worse than this but i wanted to help her.

If I couldn't reduce her emotional pain, I wanted to help her heal physically and I wanted to do anything to make her happy again.

I started to apply ointment on her foot, I kept looking at her, just to see if I was being gentle or not but she didn't show any expression.

I felt so lost, I couldn't help her. This made me feel like a loser who couldn't do anything. My heart clenched with pain. I let out a sigh then looked at her,

"I'm done now. You go to sleep. I'll pack your bag. For how many days will you be there."

She abruptly turned to me, gave me a blank look then thought for a while,

"My trip will be for a week. Just pack some suits and comfortable clothes for me okay. Sorry for troubling you." she spoke.

I smiled, "What trouble, I feel awful for not helping you in such terrible time, at least by doing this I can help you out right." I spoke my heart out.

She knew me more than me, In her worst times I wanted her to be with someone who could give her solace but it looked like, it couldn't be me....
