Y/N’s POV

"Mom?" I opened the oak door of her office room, she's wearing her glasses while writing on her papers, or to be exact, signing papers. "You called me?"

"Oh, yes I did. Darling, are you really sure you want to stay alone in your condo?" She asked. I sighed, here we go again.

"Mom.. if you're going to convince me again, for the nth time, to live with you and dad. You already what am I going to answer." I said, but she shooked her head.

"Half yes and half no. Yes, I am convincing you to live me BUT not with your father. I recently bought a house near our company, just around here in Tokyo. The mansion will stay in the countryside, it will be our rest house. And you father has been always in business trips, and I'm only left alone in the mansion, and it's far from here. So.. please give me a chance?" Mom pleaded, her voice sounded so sad and sincere.

Mom had always wanted me to stay with her, but I always refuse because I don't want to be in a same roof with my jerk dad.

And seeing mom, begging for me to live with her. I sighed and nodded. Mother smiled so happy that she jumped into her feet and went to me just to hug me tight.

"Okay then! When will you move?" She asked as she pulled me towards the chair, facing her table.

"Next week, is it okay?" Mom nodded as I smiled, she then gave me my favorite snacks hidden in her small pantry.

"I'll tell you about the location. So, do you have any suitor or.. maybe a boyfriend?"

I coughed, "Mom!"

"Oh! So there is! You coughed and you're suddenly defensive! Tell me who's this lucky guy?" She said and didn't even bother to give me water. Because of it, I stood up and went to her small kitchen counter to grab myself a glass of water.

"You guess because you're good at it." I sarcastically said as I gulped another mouthful of water.

"Hm.. probably.. one of the members of the Covered Rascals!"

I choked in my water. "How did you know?!"

Mother laughed at my reaction, "Why wouldn't I? You thought I didn't knew about the rumors about you dating with someone from the Rascals and the news about you being their new manager to cover the rumor? Hmm?" Mom said as soon as I sat down in the couch.

"I mean.. yeah, I know I can't hide everything to you and dad. But, yeah... I got my string attached to someone.. from the Rascals." I mumbled as mom squealed like a teenager!

"Oh my goodness, my daughter's now a grown up!" She dramatically said and wiped her fake tears, "So, are you and the guy from the Rascals.. official?" She asked. And that's when I halted for a minute.

Are we official? Definitely, no. He just confessed to me last night that he likes me, and so do I. He just said that we have to know each other first before we move our relationship into the next level. So, what should I say? Should I say, 'we're fuck buddies, mom'. She'll definitely freak out!
