Mother of a liar

Minho's house

Jisung came to Minho's house after a week of going ghost to spend time with him. Minho chose not to question it and just accepted his company.

They were watching a movie on the couch, cuddling, when the doorbell rang.

Minho got up and walked to it. He took a glimpse at who was outside before opening it.

-No way, he mumbled to himself which made Jisung anxious.

He opened the door and wrapped his hands around a woman.

-Mom! What are you doing here? I thought you are coming next week.

-What do you mean what am I doing in here? This is my house, she nudged him with her elbow.

She stepped on her high heels in the living room and saw Jisung looking all pale and scared.

-And who do we have here? she asked throwing her purse over her shoulder for Minho to catch it in a clumsy attempt.

-This is Han Jisung, my boyfriend. Sungie, this is my mother.

Jisung reached his hand to shake hers, still trembling.

He didn't have the best history with Minho's family, considering his father, so he was nervous to meet his mom, the ex wife of the police guy who scared the shit out of him.

-Now, Minho, why is with this shirt? Did you iron it? she said analysing her son from head to toe just to find something to comment about.

-Mom, don't start, please!

-Did your father visit?

-Yes, as a matter of fact. He did.

-That's why it stinks in here.

On Jisung's face creeped a smile, revealing his front teeth.

-Why is the refrigerator empty? Do you ever cook? Especially when you have a guest in here.

-Sungie, I apologise for my mother! She is annoying, he rolled his eyes.

-I think she is a great mother, Jisung chuckled caching everyone's attention.

-Really? her eyes lit up while she pushed past Minho to sit on the couch next to Jisung.

The boy nodded smiling at her.

-Why? Minho furrowed his eyebrows.

-Yeah, why? she added holding his hands in her own. Tell me why do you think that, honey!

All eyes were on Jisung who got shy and bent hid head down facing his feet.

-Well, she is just worried about you. I can tell she really loves you, but doesn't know how to show it. When she said about your shirt, she fixed the collar. When she complained about the food, what she meant was if you eat healthy and cook often. She asked about your father, cause she is worried he would harm you if he drinks. And she even came earlier to see you. You have to cherish that. You have a mother that didn't give you up, that wouldn't threaten you with her own death if you didn't shut up. A mother that wouldn't call you a disappointment everyday and punish you for stealing food because you wanted to split equally everything. Your mother gave you a home, clothes and love. You should be very thankful for that.

When Jisung raised his head he saw Minho's mother on the verge of crying.

She looked at him with such pity and wrapped her hands around the boy.

For the first time in his life, Jisung felt safe and protected by a maternal figure. He relaxed every muscle in him and hugged her back.

Minho melted seeing the two of them getting along.
