MOM

Playing with his pen, Sunghoon spaced out, as he kept thinking about what his son told him about his dream. He couldn't help but to overthink— he felt something was off.

He gazed towards his son who's now sleeping peacefully beside him and gently grabbed his leg to check if there's any scar left.

"Bro, wassup." Jake suddenly entered and caught his best friend, checking up his son.

"Oh, isn't Sungjoon had a scar? How is it?" He suddenly asked, out of nowhere which caught Sunghoon's attention.

"What do you mean?"

"What's 'what do you mean'? His scar." Jake scratch his head and pulled Sungjoon's pajama on the right side to show his best friend what he meant.

"What... Where's his scar?"

"Bro, you okay?"

"The scar, it's missing... Did you got him a surgical removal?"

"What, no! I didn't even know that my son has a scar." Sunghoon crossed his arms and took a deep breath.

"Have I lost my mind?" Jake shook his head and also slapped himself.

"No... I clearly remembered it. Sungjoon has a phobia on seeing blood... And he has a scar."

"How could say such a thing?" Sunghoon scoffed.

"It happened four years ago, he was playing with me. And I accidentally cut myself scissors... He collapsed on the floor and held his right knee as he began to cry out loud... I checked what's wrong and I saw a scar on his leg. That's all what I remembered."

"What do you mean by 'all'? Were you drunk that time?" Jake avoided his best friend's gaze and looked at the ceiling.

"What the... You're babysitting my son while you're drunk?!"

"It wasn't not my fault! Sunoo passed him to me!"

"But still!" He pointed his index finger at him and Jake kneeled down, all of the sudden.

"Please forgive me, I'll help you to know if where did Sungjoon got his scar, just please, forgive me." He closed his eyes and Sunghoon zoned out as he thought of it.

There must be more things that I have to find out.

"You already know what to do in the party, right?"

"Of course, I'll work hard for it."

"Thank you, Chae unnie." She smiled and hugged her.

"Stop that, you've been thanking me, nonstop." They both giggled as they pull back and Y/N's phone rang, interrupting the two from their joyful conversation.

"It's Sunghoon." She muttered and Chaeryeong nod her head, signalling her to answer it.

"It might be important." She stared at her phone and the call soon, died.

"Why?"

"I forgot to tell you something... Please look after Sungjoon in school. People there are being rude against him." She smiled as her phone rang, for the second time and there she finally answered it, opening the loudspeaker.

"What?"

"Are you busy?"

"So?"

"You're always rejecting when everytime I ask you out, but this time... I'm asking you if we should hang out together with Sungjoon. Let's just make some memories together...maybe?"

Chaeryeong raised her brows, agreeing to what she heard and Y/N took a deep breath, answering.

"O...kay." A soft gasp was heard, but soon turned into soft chuckle.

"I... Are you sure?"

"I thought of I should give it a try since I'm bored... And so, you'll stop annoying me about everything."

"Pfft, whatever you say. Bye, my love!"

She smiled, turning off the call and Chaeryeong giggled.

"Looks like someone is still in love." Y/N gazed at her and rolled her eyes.

"I'm leaving, I still have family date to attend... Don't forget my reminders, and also about Sungjoon! Inform me if someone tried to harm our Sungjoon and we'll kick their asses out." Chaeryeong laughed, nodding her head, bidding her goodbye to her lovely friend.

"Take care, and also hope you won't fall harder to Mr. Park." She winked and Y/N rolled her eyes for once again and entered her car.

"Goodluck for your acting era!" She blew a kiss and drove away.

"How did you convinced Mom to be with us, Dad?" The kid asked as excitement was visible in his eyes.

"Secret." He pouted his lips and embraced the stuffed toy that his uncle Jake gave him.

Just as time, Y/N arrived with her car and Sunghoon from the window, knocked, smiling brightly.

She rolled the window down and Sunghoon leaned closer to her. "You're always looking hot, my dear."

"Stop the flirt and get your ass in or else I'll leave you hanging out there." He scoffed, scratching his head and his son who's watching, couldn't help but to giggle.

"Poor Daddy."

"Just keep quiet cause you're Mom's patience is smaller than your pinky finger. She might drop us on the street side and leave." He whispered and Sungjoon zipped his mouth.

"So where are we going?" She asked as soon the two got inside the car.

"Where are we going, sweetie?" Sunghoon asked his son.

"Uhm how about mall?"

"Okay, to the mall. Let's go shopping, and we can also buy some groceries to stock."

She slowly nod her head and began to drive.

As she was driving, making their way to mall. A sudden car crashed happened before their eyes.

Sungjoon who's trying to check out what was happening from below got his eyes covered as Y/N fasten her acts.

"Don't look, just close your eyes."

"Why, Mom? What's happening?"

"Just... Close it." Sunghoon who's already shocked about the sudden incident got even more shock because of his wife's quick action.

She knew he has a phobia? Since when?
