Offspring Warriors 🍼 YunGi [⏹]

"Yunho!" A middle-aged woman's voice cried out from the doorway. Kwon Yuri had just arrived with Mr. Jung. She rushed to embrace her beloved only son, crying more than Yunho did. This time, Gunhak rose to give space for the mother and son to spend a rare moment together.

"Sweety, be determined with what you're facing..." Mrs. Kwon couldn't stop the tears that fell, wetting Yunho's clothes within her warm embrace.

"Eomma," Mingi said.

Turning, Yunho's mother stood up. Facing Mingi with eyes reddened by a mix of anger and pain.

And the sound of a hard slap echoed.

"Darling!" Mr. Jung warned his wife who had just slapped her son-in-law's face. Gunhak's eyes widened witnessing it. And Mingi just lowered his head, fixing his gaze on the mentally cold hospital floor.

"I have no other child besides Yunho, my fragile little baby, who has always been a good and obedient son, whom I love very much. I entrusted him to you when you married him and took him away from me, and I trusted you. You promised to take care of him and protect him well. But you! Look at what you just did to my little baby so he could lose his baby?! Why couldn't you take care of him properly?! Why couldn't you keep your promise?! I'm disappointed in you, Song Mingi!"

"Eomma, Mingi has been taking care of me all this time, please don't scold him like that, it hurts me."

But Yuri also got hurt seeing Yunho. Although she hadn't been by Yunho's side since her son got married, she knew how hard Yunho had fought to bring Junghwan into the world. Yes, Junghwan. A name Yunho often told her about. A grandson his son promised her, to color her old age.

And how Yunho often called or even visited his parents' house just to consult many things with his mother. About anything he had to do to conceive a baby soon. About Yunho who was so desperate with all this. To the point where he felt like dying, but he didn't tell this one.

He still had principles. He wouldn't die before having the chance to get the happiness of having a little family. Like what he saw from his close friends all this time.

Who already had more than one child. Who had surpassed Yunho's level of life far above him. Who were ahead of Yunho who hadn't stepped anywhere not because he didn't want to.

Mingi bowed respectfully, mixed with deep regret, "Please forgive me, eomma. I will try to take better care of Yunho after this."

Mingi's face was slapped, but somehow it was Gunhak who felt slapped.

He had made a big mistake to Yunho, which disappointed and hurt many people.

But even though he had admitted his mistake to Yunho and intended to redeem himself in a way he hadn't found yet, he didn't want everyone to blame him for it.

So he thought, he had to leave now. He would do it if he was coward enough.

"Lady and gentlemen, excuse me."

And yes, he was that cowardly.

Let everyone blame Song Mingi for now. As long as it's not me.

So after he and the other three healthy people there bowed respectfully to each other, he left. Walking away from the room enveloped in a somber atmosphere.

For now, there was nothing he could do. There was nothing he felt. Except an overwhelming guilt towards Jung Yunho and Song Mingi.

Which he didn't know how to repay them later.
