Here he was,

Jeonghan stood in front of his mother's house. His heart sank and raced at the same time.

....

What was he even going to say? How was he supposed to explain why he is back? How?

But he was also longing to see his mother's face one more time. Hear his sisters nagging one more time.
So he rang the doorbell.

It was all up to God's hands now for what comes next.

The silence and waiting was way too long for his liking.The door opened way too slowly for his liking, that's how he knew it was his mother who was opening the door.

His heartbeat began to beat faster than light, hands gone cold. It's like his soul was sucked out -

"Who's is -...HANNIE? URI HANI?" His mother was instantly in tears, it broke his heart, he felt like he was stabbed with a million thorns.

"E-eoma, I am sorry. I am so sorry I didn't mean to-"
His mother pulled him into a hug. A hug Jeonghan never thought he would feel again.

After having a long moment of just welcoming Jeonghan back , it was ended with the serious question. The were currently inside their house. Jeonghan noticed nothing had changed. It was identical to 8 years ago.

"Why did you not come back? Why? Why didnt you come back to your mother?" The silence was broken by his mother's voice that so was so weak, so weak he almost didn't hear it.

"I can't tell you,"

His mom took a big sigh. She knew Jeonghan was stubborn. Even if she begs, he won't say.

"At least tell me where we're you? How have you been? I have so much I need to know."

"Well, let's talk about all of that once you're settled down a little bit."

After 15 whole minutes of his mother taking an deep research into Jeonghans past 8 years of life, it was her turn to be interviewed.

Nothing could have prepared Jeonghan for what he was about to find out.

His heart shrank, regret pulled over him like a storm, he was devastated.  "No-no"

"It's true, it's been 4 years since. It has been really hard, Jeonghan. Really, really hard. "

Jeonghan fell to his knees, he has never cried this hard in his life, how can he ever live normally knowing he wasn't there for his sister on her last moments, he was out there away from everyone while she was fighting as much as she could against cancer...

It was getting hard to breathe....

And in the next moment, he felt his eyes shut.
