Jimin's POV~

Its the weekend. I finally get to just lie around and be lazy. This week has been really tough. I got to do tons of school works this past days. It was a busy and crazy week but now I can finally chill and watch some movies or something.

I didn't wash my face or brush my teeth, yet. It's a weekend I do anything I want. I took a quick look on the clock and it was 9 in the morning. "Should I get the cinnamon roll or pancakes?"

When I got downstairs I saw my mom already awake, cooking breakfast. Today's a weekend, she doesn't usually make breakfast during this day. I tend to just buy my breakfast in the nearest cafe if I'm lazy to cook or do anything.

"Oh goodmorning Jiminie~ I made breakfast." She happily greeted. I'm getting weirded out. Did something happened today that I didn't got informed or what. "Hi Mom. Well you seem happy today, what's the occasion?"

I sat on one of the chairs as I wait for my mom to finish cooking. It actually smells good, it gives a very morning feels. "Nothing. No occasion." She answered followed by a hum. No occasion?

"I see. Well did something-- Why are you so happy?" There I spilled it. She's not usually the happy mom, well she is but today's an exception for that. "You're making breakfast in a weekend with no occasion at all. Isn't that weird for you?"

My mom walk out the kitchen with the plate in her left hand and saddle on her right. She hit me in the head using the saddle before placing the plate in front of me. "Don't talk to your mom like that, it's disrespectful."
I immediately apologizes then start shoving the blueberry pancakes and toast in my mouth. "Anyways after eating you should prepare for your hangout."

I stopped eating and looked at her with a confused look. "What hangout?"

She hit me with the saddle, again. First she was crazy happy then now she's scary happy. Day by day I don't know what's happening in this family. "You said you have a hangout with Raeun, shouldn't you be preparing. I bet you two are going on a date, huh?" She teased.

Oh yeah I told her that I'm going out with Raeun this weekend. She thought that I'm going out with her only. What if she finds out it's not a "date" but a group hangout where she is the only girl. Ugh! I don't want to ruin her mood not now.

My mom really likes Raeun. She likes her for me. When I told her that I'm going out with her she was so happy that she almost threw a party for me. Crazy right? It's been a while since she saw her and she badly wants her to be her daughter-in-law. Well, I don't complain it seems like a good idea but that's not the point. My mom is really a different person especially when she gets disappointed.

What should I do?

"Oh yeah, right? Maybe I should- you know-- get ready now." I slowly stood up from my chair while walking away. "Of course, you should fix yourself for today." She smiled widely.
I was about to run upstairs but she approached me and gave me a very big hug. "I'm so proud of you. My baby's already growing. You know you're the only one I got now. After what happened to your sister things have been dull but you were here to put some colors in our life. You were always the happy one, my happiness. I'm so glad that you were here beside me, despite me getting mad at you for small things, you still stood beside your mom. Please forgive your mommy if I cross the line sometimes. It seems like I still couldn't move on after what happened to Jungmi."

After Jungmi's death my mom's started to hate the world. She's often mad around people and she's not usually the happy mom unlike now.

If only Jungmi was here we could have been happy. I should have been teasing her and playing with her stuff until she finds out that I mess with her things and chase me around the house. This house must be so noisy right now.

My mom was already crying in my arms and it breaks my heart. I've seen her cry many times but never near me. I hugged her back and to only make her happy is to make her proud just like she wanted to.

"Mom do you really like Raeun?" I asked out of confusion. She moved away a bit then wiping her tears. "Honestly, I loved that child. When I first met her she's like Jungmi, a happy and sweet girl. She's really pretty too. I adore that kid so much. When she attended your sister's funeral she brighten up my day even just a little bit and she our so much effort to help me with the visitors because I was crying so much I can't focus on anything." She lightly laugh as she remembered the hurtful but unforgettable past. I can't believe that grumpy girl helped my mom to forget at least for a little while the pain she's experiencing.

"She made me so happy. That's why when you said you're going out with her I can see some process between you two. I know how much she rejected your confession but maybe she's still not ready. I think that around this days she'll be yours and that would make me very happy." She smiled.

I'm starting to regret why did I even tell her that I'm going out with Raeun. But seeing her so happy then I must do what I have to do. It's not only for her but for me too, since I love Raeun too for a long time and even thought she hurt me a lot I still love her and everything about her.

So to make my mom happy again and to free her from the pain and depression then I have to do what I have to do.

"Ok mom if that's what you like."

It may look easy but I'm sure it will be difficult. But with a little faith I can do it. All I have to do is that.......


























I NEED to win her heart.
