- What does it mean that you're going to remarry? Mom died just 2 years ago, and you already.. you've already found a replacement for her. I  can't accept it, it's hard for me.

- Son, I understand that it's difficult for you, and I know that you won't be able to accept it, at least for now. You know, I really loved your mother, and she is still very dear to me, I will never love anyone more than her. I didn't mean to disappoint you, I hope you'll forgive me.

- It's just hard to accept, and the fact that this woman will have to live with us, in this house. Well, at least she is alone, and not with children, at least it pleases.

- Wait, I forgot to warn you that she actually has a son, about the same age as you. I'm sorry I told you about this so late. I was always looking for the right moment, and in the end it took me more than a month.

- It would have been better if you had told me about it right away, but you know, Dad, that I can't stay mad at you for long. But that still doesn't mean I accept it all.

- That's enough for me, son. I would be very happy if you attended the dinner today, she'll come here with her son.

- Fine, I'll be there. And by the way, who is her son, maybe I know him.

- I think his name was Hao. Oh, yes, Zhang Hao. His name is Zhang Hao. Have you heard of him? He's kind of studying at the same university as you. See what a coincidence.

- No, I haven't heard of him. But since he's studying at the same place as me, maybe we'll get along, I guess. Well, I have to go, Dad. I have to get to the studio in time.

- Go ahead, just don't forget about tonight's dinner. And try to look decent, - Jaehyuk, shouted to his son, who was already running to the exit of the house.

- Don't worry about that, Dad. You know that I'll ruin everything today anyway, - Hanbin said jokingly, stopping at the exit, and then disappeared from his father's sight.

Jaehyuk just smiled at that, and went up to his office. Upon entering, he immediately went to his desk, where there was a frame with a photo with him, his son and with his deceased wife. Tears were coming in his eyes, there was a lump in his throat, which made it difficult to breathe. It hurt him that everything would not be the same as before. He had to accept it.

And so, already with tears in his eyes, he took this frame and put it in the nearest drawer.

«I hope you'll forgive me», these were his last words until he left his office with a slight pain in his heart.

- Mom, I've been saying for a long time that I don't want to be there. It makes me uneasy just thinking about it.

- No, you're going there with me today, and that's the end of it. Son, we have already agreed on this for a long time, there is no way out.

- But Mommm, - before he could finish, his mother interrupted him.

- That's enough. Just one dinner, if you feel uncomfortable, then I'll let you leave right away. You do realize we have to move in with them later, right? Therefore, it's better for you if you get to know them as soon as possible. Hao, please, this is very important to me. Jaehyuk is a very good person, I'm sure you'll like him, and his son..

Hao interrupted his mother, and said, lowering his head,

- All right, I'll come with you.

- That's all I needed to hear, said Wenling with a faint smile, - I know that it's still difficult for you to accept my imminent marriage, and that you'll have to live with complete strangers for a while, but I really hope that you'll get along with them, I am sure of it, they are wonderful people.
