BoYoung briefly considered not mentioning the fact that JongSuk's mother and stepfather had been arrested , she wasn't sure how he would react to the news, would he be pleased, would he be sad would he have no reaction, after all despite the years of abuse he suffered at the hands of his mother , EunHa was still his mother, he might not care about hearing about his stepfather's arrest, but his mother was probably a different story. But BoYoung thought about it again , she needed to tell him, he deserved to know, she decided to tell him over breakfast Saturday morning, since working at the clinic she was able to take the weekends off, sometimes she invited Woobin and Yoona to do stuff with them, whether it was going to a amusement park, museums or just a simple picnic at the park , normal stuff that JongSuk hadn't been able to do, today they had nothing planned, BoYoung put her chopsticks down and cleared her throat getting JongSuk's attention.
He looked up,head tilted looking at her expectantly, waiting , she reached a hand across the table taking his hand in her and said, "I have something to tell you about your Eomma and Yang abeoji" she felt him stiffen , she continued, "The police have arrested them both and they're in the detention center." She looked at him studying his reaction. JongSuk stared at her, his expression unreadable, finally he spoke .
"I don't want to visit them." Was all he said. BoYoung nodded, "I don't expect you to visit them." She reassured him at least he seemed okay, she watched him go back to his breakfast. She hoped he was really okay. When breakfast was over, he helped her clean the breakfast dishes before retreating to the living room and turning the tv on.
Woobin came over before lunch, apparently there was a street fair a couple blocks away, "Do you want to go, we can call Yoona too, if you want, my Eomma , sister and Halmeoni are there,have you been to a street fair." He asked , JongSuk turned to BoYoung, "Can I go, Noona?"he asked begging, BoYoung nodded, "Go have fun, " she said, she watched them head out the door. She closed the door and headed back to the living room, settling on the sofa she opened her laptop and started checking her email, she had stuff to do, bills to pay, and other things, she switched the tv to a drama and started working. It was nearly lunch when her cell chimed indicating she was getting a phone call. Her thoughts immediately went to JongSuk, had something happened was he hurt ? She unlocked the phone it wasn't Woobin or Yoona ,but a number she didn't recognize, she pressed the call back button, it was from the Seoul Women's Detention Center, she was confused why would anyone be calling her there?
BoYoung was still wondering why JongSuk's mother had called her and more importantly how had she gotten her number . She sat in the visiting room , the door opened and EunHa walked in, followed by a guard, EunHa sat down ,last time BoYoung had seen her was a few months ago when JongSuk was at the hospital despite her overly show of affection, BoYoung never believed she really cared about her child.
"Why did you call me?" BoYoung asked getting straight to the point, EunHa smiled and leaned forward, "You have my child, don't you." She said in a low voice, BoYoung was shocked, but tried to hide it how did she know that JongSuk was with her, was that how his stepfather knew where he was that day he and Yoona had gone to the amusement park? Were they being stalked ?
