That saying was very familiar to Yuju.
That was what her real mother would always tell her when she was little.
Yuju slowly looked up at her.
Yuju: Are you my real mother?
Lady: Yuju?
Then Yuju hugged her tightly.
Yuju: Eomma! I missed you so much!
Yuju's mother: I missed you too!
They both hugged each other while crying.
Yuju: How did you get here?
Yuju's mother: I work as a maid for Lisa and her family.
Yuju: What?!
Yuju's mother: I know. And I've got a lot of money, so we can move in together.
Yuju smiled.
Yuju: I have money too.
Yuju's mother patted Yuju's head.
Yuju's mother: I'm sorry.
Yuju: Wae?
Yuju's mother: I left you. I did it to protect you. I didn't want you to get hurt. Or called names.
Yuju: Eomma..
(She said hugging her mother tightly.)Yuju's mother: Don't cry. Let's fix your makeup.
(She said helping Yuju up.)***
Yuju went to help her mother in the kitchen.
JungKook kept on looking for Yuju.
JungKook: Yuju!
(He said as loud as he could over the loud music.)His eyes got watery.
He gave up.
He sat down at a corner.
JungKook: I'm sorry. Jinga.
***
Yuju was smiling in the kitchen while making food with her mother.
She missed those times.
Yuju's mother: Do you like JungKook?
Yuju: A little. I mean, we're kinda in love.
Yuju's mother: What!?
Yuju looked at her confused.
Yuju: What's wrong?
Yuju's mother: Anniyo! You can't like him or love him!
Yuju: Wae?
Yuju's mother: Niw is not the right time.
Yuju: Eomma!.. You always say that. When will you tell me. When I'm 20, 100, or the day I die?!
