The Idol's Deadly Obsession [On Hold] | kth √

34. Pain & Hurt

"Mom." You call the name.

Something is strongly telling you inside, that your mother is outside In-ah's building, for no good. Your last meeting wasn't even pleasant so this one won't be less- that's what you think.

"Your boyfriend?" She raise an eyebrow. Her tone is so calm, but you know that's a storm on it's own.

You gulp down, a strong lump down your throat. "Mom, I was about to tell you. I-'

"Were you going to tell me the next time you'll skip school again, and I'll catch you?" She asks, bitterly.

You bite your lip, looking at your best friend beside your mother. You know she didn't tell her, your wonder is how did she get to know.

Now you're fucked up.

"Aunt, she wasn't feeling we-'

"In-ah go to your apartment. Thanks for standing this long with me." Your mother says.

"You can come with me too." In-ah says, because it's embarrassing your mother acting like this with you, outside the building.

"Yn will never come to your apartment, neither will she ever stay with you." The mother announces.

"What!?" You and In-ah are in shock.

"Her father trusted you to take care of her while her Grandfather at our house, right? But you turned out to be the baddest influencer making my child skip classes and on top of that, coming at this hour from a man's place." She spats.

"What are you saying, Mom? In-ah didn't influence me, neither did she know my relationship. No one is influencing me." You back up for your best friend.

"Really?" Your mother scoffs.

"I'm an adult, Mom. I can say yes to a man, I can also have a boyfriend." You speak up for yourself.

"Oh! So adulthood teaches us to date rich older men?"

"W-What? What are you even saying Mom?" You ask, in disbelief. It's hard for you to believe that your mother just said that to you.

"The car was tinted, too expensive or even it's outlook, the necklace you're wearing, it says all that you're dating a rich guy. Someone older than you. How can you stoop so low, Yn?" Your mother is utterly displeased, disappointed with your act.

"I admit he is older than me but he isn't a 40 or 50 year old man, Mom." You retort.

"But he is older than with so many years, right? You know what those kind of men treat you like? They treat you like a whore. You're a whore for him and you're so proud of dating him. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" Your mother asks in disbelief.

"I can't believe you, Mom." You shook your head, making a turn but she holds your hand.

"Where are you going?" She inquires.

"To In-ah's place. You're angry and pouring all of it on me. I can't take it." You reply, your eyes getting teary.

"And who do you think made me this angry, Yn?" Your mother asks, twisting your wrist.

"Ah! Mom you're hurting me." You cried.

"You're not going to stay in In-ah's apartment. You're coming with me." The woman starts dragging you away from the building, trying to tell her slow her pace, the woman doesn't stop.

She stops a taxi, and she tells you to get inside, you start being stubborn but her stern tone forces you to get inside, against your will.
