       I went into my house with Jihoon.

I lifted him with his butt rested on my arm.

He rested his cheek on my shoulder. I didn't feel his energy.

"Omo, Jihoon-ah, are you sleepy?"

"Um, Mom," said Jihoon with his voice starting to weaken, unlike when he was cheering when he saw me.

"At what time did you sleep last night?" asked me seriously.

"I don't know. But I played with Dad for a very long time at night time" said Jihoon.

My lips pressed together. I didn't want them to be so close. What if one day Jihoon chose to live with Taehyung over me?

I sighed over that thought. It's tiring me.

I went to Jihoon's room and put him on the bed. He was already closing his eyes.

Then my gaze went down to his wrist. The tracker device. Gosh, I forgot about that. I was worried when Taehyung just sent him at about the time that I thought he ditched me.

Then, I pulled up the blanket for Jihoon. I stayed for a while to take a look at his face. I felt something. I felt bad. He must be very confused and I just kept hiding the truth. He's growing up and I ended up disappointing him.

I looked down at my hands and my nails. Ah, I just felt very bad.

I got out of his room and went to sit on the sofa with my head loaded with something not very clear.

Like if Jihoon would be disappointed with me.

Why would he? Because I hid the truth?

Why would he not understand?

I felt Jihoon could understand me but why was there a part of me afraid anyway? That was so unclear what I was really afraid of.

And then Taehyung? His facial expression... When he said he had many...

To curse me out.

What's wrong with him?

He was always looking so teasefully when he said something crazy to me but just now, he looked so serious.

I tilted my head to the side. Why? Why did he want to curse me out? Was he angry? At me? If he was, why? What could it be? 

My eyes widened when a thought came across my mind. It could be something with Jihoon! Since they both spent a day together yesterday.

That shock caused me to stand up automatically. He must be talking about something with Jihoon.

I bit my nail. I started worrying thinking about what I got caught.

I sighed. I really wanted to ask Jihoon but he was already sleeping.

But thinking again, why did I have to be worried if I got caught? I should be worried about Jihoon learning the truth! What the hell was wrong with me??!

I grumbled and then slumped my butt on the sofa. I was disappointed in myself for worrying about something very stupid. Why was I being like this? Was I scared?

"Y/n"

I was startled when Eunwoo suddenly called my name. He was standing in front of me and I didn't realize since when he was there.

I quickly straightened my sitting posture and scooted over to give a room for him.

Then, he sat beside me.

My anxiety increased at the thought if he saw me grumbling alone and I was sure my face frowned too much just now.

The air between us was so cold and strange. I took the remote TV from the coffee table and turned it on, hoping it would help.
