The three of them sat on Lalisa's couch in her apartment and finally settled down to talk it out. Beomgyu had insisted on the girl's presence, even though it had been her who had upset the younger Choi so much.

"Why don't you just tell Yeonjun how it came about that his mum ..." she didn't finish the sentence, leaving the voice actor to continue.

But he only glanced briefly and fleetingly at his ex-boyfriend, not knowing if he really wanted to hear the details. Because actually Yeonjun knew that it would hurt him incredibly to hear that someone had hurt his former boyfriend like that. At the same time, he wanted to know so he could find out why she had done it.

"I -," Yeonjun then began, pulling his long legs up onto the couch, "maybe it will help me to -.... to know or understand why she did it."

He looked at Beomgyu.

"Only if you want to say something about it, too."

Sighing, Beomgyu leaned back on the couch. "She was really friendly at first. And it was really fun learning to cook from her. Of course, she wanted to know a lot about you, inquired. Often subtly and guardedly, I got the impression she was uncomfortable with having to ask a stranger about it," Beomgyu began to tell, trying to remember it too, because even though it haunted him to some extent, he had tried to suppress it. "I don't know if I said something that might have upset her, because when I was with her on the second day and we made Tteokbokki, she seemed more irritable than usual. She kept looking over my shoulder, her voice was louder, and when I made a mistake, she slapped me on the back of the head."

Beomgyu frowned, because there was actually nothing to it.

"I was surprised, but I didn't say anything about it either. Moms do that a lot, don't they? Even my mom used to give me a few on the fingers when I messed up. But it also made me insecure because she just wasn't my mom, and we were absolutely not close enough for her to reprimand me about it."

Swallowing hard, Yeonjun turned to him, sat down cross-legged, and leaned his arm against the back cushioning of the couch.

Lalisa squatted on the armchair next to the boys, but remained silent.
