Chapter 67

Running from punishments is futile. For no matter how far you go, they will find you. The day that you will have to pay for your mistake will ultimately catch up to you no matter how much you avoid it. 

Such was the case for Boram, that even though had gotten permission from Jungkook to stay at his apartment for longer, once her mother had demanded for her to get back home, she had left his place, without even telling him and had willingly walked to the car were her bodyguards were awaiting for her.

She didn't want to go home for she was well aware that her mother would be furious still over the issue of her stealing from a jewellery shop, which was not true but she could not tell the truth either. She had tried at the hospital too, to let her know that it was a misunderstanding, just like she had convinced Mr Duho, yet to her mother it didn't matter if she had truly done it or not. What mattered was that she had put her name and the family reputation in other people's mouths by making such a mistake.

She had humiliated her and for that, she knew what was the punishment, that's why she had run to Jungkook's hospital room back then, to escape. Fear had engulfed her as her mother had told her that she would discipline her well once they reached home, so she had tried her best to never reach home. But never was not possible. When she called her, threatening to do worse if she didn't return home immediately, Boram couldn't disobey. For she knew, she could do worse and she certainly didn't want to live through that again.

There was supposed to be no room for fear within her, for anything but her mother because that was how she had raised Boram to begin with and so it was because she feared her mother as much as she was desperate to get a glimpse of love from her at least once.

She knew well how to beg, so once the car reached her house and the bodyguards escorted her to her mother's little office space, she walked inside and stood on her knees before her, head low, as she was aware that meeting her eyes wouldn't be wise.

"You finally showed yourself...What have you been doing?" Boram's mother looked down on her with piercing eyes and her tone of voice let her know that she was not asking casually nor did she care if she had been doing well, she was asking if she was aware that she was disobeying her. 

"I am sorry, mother. I didn't mean to stay away from home...It's just that Jungkook, needed me by his side." Boram used him once more as an excuse as she spoke with a trembling voice.

"That man...I want you to break up with him!" She demanded making Boram snap her head and look at her in shock for she was certain that dating Jungkook would have been pleasing to her and much more beneficial. She had forcefully pushed her to try to get romantically involved with him once upon a time. Now that Boram had supposedly achieved that, why was she asking her to stop seeing him?

"Why? Was this not what you wanted?" 

"Jungkook is an ideal candidate, he has money and since he really has fallen for you and you are together, he most likely would give you money or would do anything if you were to ask him however, from that moment that he said that you had been secretly dating behind my back, that means that you like him as well." Her mother's words confused her further, as she tilted her head and stared at her.

"What do you mean, mother? I don't understand."

"Of course you wouldn't understand." Her mother stood from her chair and walked up to her, leaning over her head right before she took a handful of Boram's hair and forcefully lifted her head more. "You are my misery...Every time I see you happy, it makes me want to die."She uttered through gritted teeth, right in front of Boram's face. Words that cut deep within her as they twisted the knife in her heart.
