Y/N's PoV:

I am waiting for Dokyeom oppa to bring food for me. Eventhough I don't feel like eating, it will be a lie if I say I am not hungry. Specifically, I miss the food that my mom cooks.

*Knock knock knock*

"Come in oppa. Why are you knocking? I can't come there to open the door anyways.", you let out a chuckle.

But, he didn't enter yet. Will it be someone else? But who can it be other than my brother?

And then the door opened slowly revealing my mother.

"M-Mom??"

"I-I- May I co-come in?"

"Please mom. Come inside. Is that a thing to be asked?"

I am actually shocked. I don't know why she has come here - like should I be happy or worried? Has she come to see how I'm doing? Or has she come to scold me?

"I brought you some food"

Her words pulled me out of my thoughts.

"Thank you mom"

She then set the bed table for me and kept the food tray on it. I didn't talk much. It felt weird, but I don't know the reason. I want to cry on her laps letting down all my worries and sadness.

"Why did you do that?"

I looked at her in confusion, not being able to figure out what she is talking about. The food I was trying to swallow refused to pass through my throat. I really hoped that she didn't come to talk about that. I was happy for a moment thinking that she cared for me... I'm disappointed totally.

"Why did you fight with her?"

"So you came here to talk about Taehee? For a moment I thought you are worried about ME."

At the moment, the feeling I'm filled with is anger, only anger and nothing else. I don't know where all my tears have gone. She is shocked by my response too. I usually don't speak to my parents like this.

"I AM worried about you Y/N. It all started because you went out with boys and also fought with her. That's why your dad is angry."

"No mom. Everything happened because you both DON'T trust me."

"Ohh. Okay! Fine! Now tell me what happened exactly so it would prove you innocent."

"Mom... See... This is the problem. You want PROOF to trust me. I want my parents to trust ME more than they trust their niece. Now I don't find any reason to tell you anything mom. Please let everything be as it is now. I don't want to change anything by PROVING myself."

With that I burst out into tears and suddenly winced with pain in my left cheek.

She SLAPPED me.

"Stop talking like this Y/N. Where has all your respect gone?"

"Mom please"

"Taehee found out about you hanging out with boys. That's why you fought with her right?"

"Yes mom. But that's not the only reason."

"Then tell me. I'm not asking you to prove anything. But just share it with me."

"Okay. I will. But before that I want to know what exactly she told you."

"She told that, she asked you about that video. Then, to prevent her from telling us, you pulled her hair and tried to push her down the stairs. But unfortunately, you fell down the stairs."

You stayed silent. You couldn't even believe that your parents believed this lame shit.

"Mom... Don't mistake me... But can I ask you something?"

"Yes"

"What did she do to you to trust her to this extent?"

"What?"

"Mom, can you please go and lock the door?"

She nodded her head and went to lock the door. When she turned towards you after locking it, her eyes widened with shock and concern.

You have just pulled up you t-shirt, revealing the bruises in your abdomen.

"Wh-what is th-this?"

You could see her eyes, which were once full of anger, are now filled with tears.

"Would you believe me if I tell you that she did this to me? But I don't have any proof for this."

You looked down sobbing.

She hugged you tightly and cried her eyes out.

"Mom this is not the whole story. Let me complete it."

She broke the hug and sat beside you, holding your hands. You could feel the warmth from your mom after a very long long time.

You took your medical report file from the bedside drawer and gave it to her.

She went through the scan reports, prescriptions and all and looked at you in confusion.

"My intestine and uterus are injured mom. They are bleeding inside."

"WHAT??"

"Yes mom"

Then you tell her everything that has happened that day. She is totally shocked by everything you told her.

"Even if it is wrong for me to hang out with our friends, how can she do this to me mom? She is not my parent or God to punish me, right? How can she talk bad about the relationship between me and my brother? What wrong did I do to her?", you cried.

"Yes dear. It's absolutely wrong. Even parents can't punish their child like this. Now that I got to know her true shade, I will keep an eye on her. And, you didn't do anything wrong. Don't think about anything and stress yourself. You should take a lot of rest now. Call me whenever you need me, okay?"

"Mom... But what if dad or Taehee knows about this?"

"You are my top priority dear. I will face the consequences, whatever it is. If you are planning to hang out with friends, just tell me."

"Thank you mom. Thank you for understanding me."

"You don't have to thank me. It is a bare minimum. I'm sorry for everything I did that hurt you. I won't repeat my mistakes."

"It's okay mom. I'm happy to get your love again."

With that she left the room.
