Golden Time (JungYong)

45

Incredulously surprised, they glared in their eyes, speechless. 

"You did what now..."

"What did you do just now?

When Kim dusted off his hand, drops of blood scattered away.

"I told you already that my hand slipped off the glass." 

"You arrogant bastard!" shouted Kim's aunts and then they moved into the living room. And they picked up their expensive bags.

"Just like your mom, you were being so mean!"

"I'll never set my foot again in this house!" 

The door opened roughly, and the women went out.

"You're never going to come back?"

Kim smiled, with his gaze fixed out the window.

'After a month or two weeks, they will contact me again. Their purpose was simple. Money, money, money. They equally divided the wealth bequeathed by my father, but they squandered all the money in a flash. Besides, they are saddled with debts. Did I inherited more wealth than them? No way. I just inherited a collapsing company that they did not even look at, and revived it. And now they are saying it's unfair?'

Looking down at his hand still bleeding, he headed to the kitchen sink. 

At that moment, Kim heard a voice.

"What is all this ...?" Kim turned to her familiar voice. 

His mother was looking at the drops of blood fallen on the floor with a surprised look.

He hurriedly hid his injured hand back and laughed.

"The scary people are gone now? Hyunwoo... where were you hurt?" 

She slowly approached Kim. Did she come to her senses for a moment?

"Mom, do you recognize me?" 

Despite his question, she pulled out her son's hand hidden behind.

Drops of blood fell down. Was he fortunate? The wound did not seem serious. 

"I can't believe a grown-up boy like you can get hurt like this…" she said.

She looked down at his palm and then looked up at him. 

Kim gently smiled, saying, "I'm okay..." 

"Hey, you are not. Look at this blood coming out..." 

She did not mean it. It was the kind of conversation that only the mother and the son could have. Looking at her son quietly, she brought a first-aid kit out of her living room. 

She disinfected and bandaged his hand. Kim looked at his mother's caring of him without any words. Suhyuk remained silent all along. He wanted to wrap a bandage only after checking the wound on his hand first, but could not do so. For the two seemed so happy and warm towards each other.

"Mom, Happy birthday to you."

"You're the best son!"

She wiped tears from her eyes. 

Kim hugged her with his bandaged hand.

"Why are you crying on such a good day Mom? I have bought a lot of foods you like."

"Let's eat quickly before they get cold."

At that moment, Dongsu was coming out of the bathroom. 

"What's all this..."

Dongsu's eyes became round at the sight of scattered blood drops in the living room. Suhyuk hurriedly shut his mouth.

"Let's go home..."
