Author's Pov:

Mingyu woke up with an headache. "Here, drink this", Aera gave him soup. She avoided his gaze, "Your head must be exploding".

"Did something happened, Aera?", he asked. "Do you remember anything you said yesterday? First of all why did you get drunk?", she asked.

Mingyu nodded, "I remember everything I said last night and I am serious about that". Aera meet his eyes, "Why do you want me to go away from you?". Mingyu smiled sadly, "It will hurt you more, Aera. In future, I can hurt you more. It's better if you divorce me".

"I would have divorced you, Mingyu but because of Jiho I am staying", Aera said. "Did you again do something? Did you again go to Eunji?"

"Eh?", Mingyu looked at her face, her angry eyes boring right into his soul. He gulped, "N-No". He took the spoon to drink but it fell down. "Why are your hands trembling so much, Mingyu? Are you sick?", she checked his temperature but it was normal.

"Now a days your behavior scares me", Aera said. "Then leave me", Mingyu said. Aera scoffed, "I would love to".

"Hmm", Mingyu hummed. Aera sighed, "What happened, Mingyu?". Mingyu shook his head, "Nothing happened, what will happened, hehe". Aera made him look at her, "What are going to do as I have given you a second chance?", she asked.

Mingyu looked at her with wide eyes, "S-Second chance?". Aera nodded, "Just for Jiho. I am ready to let it go. I am ready to start from the beginning". Mingyu looked at her with hope, "I am ready to anything, Aera, anything". He held her hands.

"I don't want 'anything' as an answer, Mingyu. What if she comes back in your life and you leave us?", Aera asked. "I'll never, Aera. I have learnt my lesson. I am not going to do anything like this again. If I do, you can divorce me, Aera. I won't say anything", Mingyu answered. His eyes told, he was adamant to make things right.

"I am giving you a last chance, Mingyu", Aera said.  Mingyu took the spoon from her hand and was about to eat when she took it back, "It fell down. I'll bring the another one".

As Aera went out, Mingyu let out a breath which he was holding for so long. "I need to tell her, otherwise it will create more problems", Mingyu whispered. He took his phone to see his mother's message.

'I am coming tomorrow'

Mingyu immediately kept his phone aside, "Arghh, now she will create extra problem".

Aera came and have him the spoon, "Here. I got a message from your mother. She is coming today". Mingyu nodded, "Yeah, she finally remembered she has a son". His tone sounded arrogant.

"Don't say that, Mingyu. She is your mother. Seeing you behave like this even Jiho hates her. Also no pranks on her this time. I don't want to see anything. I want our anniversary to go without any problem this time", Aera said. "I hate it when she talks bad about you, I also hate the way she talks to you", Mingyu grumbled.

"You are her only son, Mingyu. Also you the only person for her. You never talk to her nor does she. You act like it doesn't matter but it does. You miss her don't you?", Aera asked, "You both used to be so close until our marriage but then...".

"Answer my question Aera, why doesn't she come on other events like mine, yours or Jiho's birthday? Why only on our marriage anniversary?", Aera couldn't answer.

"She is my mother, Aera. I always know why she does something", Mingyu said. Aera shook her head, "When was the last time you called her?".

"I don't remember. I don't even call her", Mingyu said. "You should call her, Mingyu. She lives there alone. Just like without Jiho you have a hard time, your mother must feeling same way", Aera said. Mingyu hugged her waist, "I miss her, Aera".
