As Heeseung's mother hovered in the doorway, her eyes filled with concern, Sunoo's heart pounded with fear and uncertainty. He felt exposed, vulnerable, as if every moment spent in her presence threatened to shatter the fragile facade he had erected to shield himself from further pain.
Heeseung's grip tightened around Sunoo, a silent vow of protection in the face of impending danger. Sunoo buried his face in Heeseung's chest, seeking refuge from the storm that raged around them.
But as Heeseung's mother stepped forward, her voice filled with a mixture of anguish and accusation, Sunoo's heart sank. He could feel the weight of her words bearing down on him, crushing him beneath their weight.
"Why are you like this, Heeseung? Why do you defend him after what he did to your sister?" His mother's voice was laced with desperation, her eyes pleading for an answer that Sunoo could not provide.
But as Sunoo looked into her eyes, he saw not anger or hatred, but a mother's love, twisted and distorted by the pain of betrayal. He longed to reach out to her, to offer her solace in her time of need, but he knew that the wounds between them ran too deep to be healed with mere words.
As Heeseung's mother turned to leave, her footsteps heavy with sorrow, Sunoo felt a pang of regret pierce his heart. He had never wanted to cause her pain, yet here he was, the source of her anguish, unable to offer her the comfort she so desperately sought.
With a heavy heart, Sunoo turned to Heeseung, his eyes filled with tears. "I'm sorry," he signed, his hands trembling with emotion. "I never meant to hurt anyone. I just wanted to find my place in this world, to belong somewhere."
Heeseung's heart ached at Sunoo's words, his own eyes filled with tears of remorse. "I know, Sunoo," he whispered, pulling him close. "I know."
