Today is the last day, we were here at my parents house. I already packed my stuff but I felt heavy. I don't wanna go....

Dooshik looked up from his book and eyes meet mine "do you want to grab some gifts for your parents?"

I think about it for a sec and nodded enthusiastic. We  got ready and leave the room to go downstairs. Mom looked from the tv at us. "where are you two going?"

"we want to grab some newly release ice cream" I lied and she nodded understand

"okay, be careful" she said and looked at the TV.  Dooshik and I headed to his car and he drove to the shopping mall.

<Mall>

I looked around to see if there's any store that caught my attention. Dooshik grab my hand to gain my attention "let go there. I think they have what your mother loves" is agreed and we headed there.

We get inside handbags store. My eyes went wild at how many handbags are there. Not also include how many beautiful designs. I'm not even interest in handbags but this really made me want one for myself.

He looked around the store with his frightening face while I stares at few handbags on displays. The worker there approach me.

"what would you like miss?"

"did you have any suggestion that middle aged woman loves?"

"oh, sure. It's on this way" she said and show me where it is. Dooshik stand next to me and quietly looked at all those bags. "how about this one?" I asked the worker.

"this is the Limited Edition handbag so it's a bit pricey. However, this one is almost every mothers favorites"

"really?" I felt intrigued. I think about it a bit more before decided to take it. Store worker grab the bag and went to check it, leaving me and Dooshik behind.

His hands in his jeans pocket while he had his normal robot like expression. "Mom, will like that right?" h nodded "I'm sure she is" .

And just like that, the conversation ended. I turned around and looked at more handbags. My eyes was caught on this black small sling bag. How pretty it is.... With tiny maybe fake jewel embedded on it. I don't dare to touch but I stares at it with smile displayed on my face.

"Take it if you want"

I don't even realize Dooshik standing next to me. I looked at my side with wrinkled nose and shake my head "it's surely expensive. If I buy this too, I might have to starve for months" the worker came back and handed us the bag in its box.

I handed my card to her but someone else did as well. It was Dooshik. I looked at him "no need. I want to buy this for my mother" he keep his hand. His hand still holding out the card and the worker take it.

My hand dropped to my side and I let out a small sigh. How many debt will I be? After we got divorce? We walked out the store together.

"you should stop paying for my stuff" I told him and he looked at me with tired like expression "let's not do this fights again. I'm tired to be honest" he said and walked away bit faster. "tired? Wanna head home?" he shake his head

"...just don't question my actions" he said and we walked to the nearby ice cream store. I ordered an chocolate ice-cream and waited for his order but he didn't.

"What is your order?" I asked.

"I don't like sweets" he said as we sat down at the table inside the ice cream store.

"but you eat my cake last time"

"You already bake them so I just eat it"

"You should told me about it next time. Don't force yourself to do something you aren't into" I told him feeling bad about it.

He stay silence and stand up "I actually want to grab something. Can you wait here? Take care of that bag or someone will stole them" he said and leave the store. I watched as he slowly disappear from the window. I eat my ice cream in silence while checking my phone.

'Are you heading home?' Suha asked in text.

'yeah, this evening. Why?'

'Mincheol invited us to hang out'

'really? Yeah sure'

'meet you tomorrow after class'

'okay'

I put down my phone and looksd out the window. He still wasn't here yet. I sank into the chair further. Do I really want to go? I put my hand on my chest. I don't as excited as before but..... There still some fluttering in my stomach.

Dooshik came back with the same box we had at the moment. I looked at it a bit surprised. Who he buying handbag for? His stepmother? That's ridiculous.

I stand up "should we go?" he nodded and we both headed back to our car. We sat down inside the car and he handed me the box. I looked at him speechless "what?...."

"you like them, right?"

I opened them and saw the exact same handbag that I been staring.

"Dooshik! T-this is expensive"

"it wasn't for me at least" he said and drove the car, home. I grab the box feeling heart burst into gratefulness and happy but I don't like to be in debt with someone. "I will pay you back for all of these" I said and he groaned "I don't need your money" he said and put a full stop.

"you are just wasting your money on us" I mumbled loud enough for him to heard and stay silence afterwards. When we arrive, he headed back into our room first so I grab the things we bought. I put down my box and grab the bag and ages wine to give my parents.

"Mom, dad.... These are for you" I said and they gasped "oh my! Thank you!" I smiled "Dooshik buy all of those for you. I don't even get to pay for anything"

"oh my, he spoiled you huh" mom said and whispered in my ear "did you give him a thank you passionate kiss?" I rolled my eyes "that's enough. Bye mom" I jokingly said and went upstairs. I get inside the room afterwards and stopped as I hear him talking on the phone. He was facing the window so I only saw his back.

"I fucking told you to stop aren't I?!" he shouted. I can felt his jaw tighten and he is so pissed off right now. I closed the door quietly so the sound doesn't leave the room and stand there.

"I am not joking when I say that I'm not afraid to hurt you" he said and hang up. Dooshik turns and saw me.  His expression immediately drops and I can saw the hurt on his face. I step closer to him and put my hand reassuring on his arm.

"is it your stepmother?"

He doesn't answer but that enough to confirm everything. I step even closer and hug him. His body stiffen at first but then he sank into me further.

His arms are on his side and my arms wrapped around his waist. "what did she want?"

"....she keep...bothering me. Saying that you aren't enough for me and I would love to do all stuff on her behind my dad back" I stroke his hair and let out a chuckle

"thats why you are angry?" I speak in rather calm state.

"I am annoyed. She doesn't understand at all. I told her many times.... I am not into her at all"

"I get it, Dooshik" I said and pulled away to looked in his eyes

"it's okay though. I'm here. We will looked out for each other" he looked back in my eyes with unexplainable expression. "what are we......." he whispered as his eyes never leaving mine.
