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?!
