Minchan: Fighting The Storms With You

34

My mom reached home, about half an hour later I came out of my room.

Seungmin, Han and I were sitting in the living room, talking about what we could do now.

"Chan-ah... Honey!!! What's wrong?" My mom said as soon as she entered the living room.

"A lot....mom. Come...sit down with us...I will explain." I said.

She nodded and sat with us.

I explained everything to her. She looked dumbfounded.

"You just brought someone else's kid into our house?" -was my mom's first reaction.

"Mom....I just told you that his father was abusing him... We found him tied in his bed...what else were we supposed to do?"

"No no no... It's none of my business. And it's none of your business. Do you get me?"

"What?"

"And Mr.Lee? Oh my gawd Bang Chan.... Do you want to ruin everything that I have worked so hard for?"

"Mom....I can't let him stay there."

"Does he know about you?"

I nodded.

"Oh my gawd....what am I supposed to do now? "

"Mom...calm down."

"Calm down? Do you even get it? That psycho will send the police here.... that's the first thing he will do ... Do you get me now?"

"..."

"It's his fault that he was born to this monster...but I am not gonna let you risk everything for him.... I can't... I can't..."

"Mom...how can you be like this? I am asking for your help!"

"I am helping you.. I will call Mr.Lee...three of you will apologize to him....and then we will hand Minho over to him."

"Never..."

Mom then reached for her phone and I grabbed her hand to stop her.

"Bang Chan don't be fucking stubborn. After your dad's death, I have worked my ass off....to build this kingdom for you...and just one nod from Mr.Lee can destroy all of it .... That's not it....he could just kill us....that guy is a monster.... He is not scared of death...."

Mom then came towards me and grabbed both of my hands.

"Please Bang Chan ....please ..... I don't wanna lose you ...I don't wanna lose all these... please.... You have to let him go..."

My mom was then crying falling on her knees.

I stood there. What am I supposed to do?

Suddenly she stood up.

"Where is he? In your room?" She said while running to my room.

Before I could stop her, she was already shaking Minho to wake him up...

"Wake up!!! Wake up!!! Why are sleeping so peacefully after putting my family on fire?"

I grabbed her and pulled her away from Minho.

Minho had already sat up. His eyes wide open.

"What have you done to my son?"

"Leave right away!!!"

"How dare you!!! How dare you expect him to burn with you??? How dare you???"

"Are you trying to ruin his life?"

"Or Mr.Lee is trying to play with us... Yesss...Bang Chan!!! That must be it... This father and son are trying to ruin us..."

"Bang Chan!! leave me...!!!!"

"Minho .. please I beg you....leave my son alone.... please don't ruin his life... please leave him."

"Minho ..honey...just go back to your father and spare us...please ... You know your father can just kill him...you know that right? Still how could you involve him in this mess?"

I was dragging her out of the room.

Han and Seungmin went to Minho.

"Mom... I will leave with him...so don't worry...your kingdom will stay out of harm"

"Do you think I built all this for me? It's all for you ...and now you want to go away....for a guy? Why Chan? Why?"

She was crying. I was crying. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what Minho was feeling at that moment. I should have gone back to the room. I should have told him how much I love him, how much happy I was when told me sleep with him. I should have told him.

But I just stayed in the living room, not knowing how to face him after what my mom did.

My mom still hates Minho. But it's only because she doesn't know how I feel.
