(가시연 ) Thorn Lily: Main Story - CHAPTER 13

"How dare you look for Yunho even now!!"

Do mothers have to use such force when hitting their sons? It's been at least half a year since she last saw me. Considering how hard she slapped me, she must be in good health, but somehow she looks a lot older than I remember her to be.

I really don't wish to remember these things because they'll just give me breathing difficulties. It's not as i I'll never go home ever again, and I'm the child you carried in your womb for 10 months. I bit my lips; compared to the sting on my cheeks, my heart hurts much more... my heart which had only hurt for Yunho until now.

What's wrong with me looking for Yunho? Probably because I did so many wrong things in the past, I shouldn't even be able to face him, and that he's already married with a baby on the way. So my mother's mindset and mine are really complete polar opposites. She's still treating me like I'm a normal man - has she forgotten that I'd been locked away in a sanatorium before? Of course I'll come looking for Yunho. No matter what happened in the past, my love for Yunho will never change!

"Do you really want to drive your mother to her grave!?" " "

"There has to be a limit on the amount of shame you can bring to our family. Do you want me to send you back there!??"

"......"

"Ill-mannered brat! Still clinging to him!??"

I kept my silence as she unleashed a torrent of harsh words on me. She raised her hand to slap me again, but my uncle stopped her and whisked her away to another room before she could continue abusing me. When he walked out of the room, his expression was grave but I know he's only keeping up appearances. He doesn't want to help me at all! What a revolting man.

This revolting place! It's even worse than the sanatorium! Even if it felt as if I was dragged back to hell, you have no right to interfere though you're my uncle!

My uncle forced me to stay in the second-floor bedroom while he brought my mother downstairs. The room had a very large window, but the window was barred. I stood next to the window and drew the curtains, feeling the cool summer breeze. All along, this house had always used its eerieness to contain me, but it's all because of her unpleasant presence. I started to miss Yunho's house, because that's where Yunho lives, where my beautiful Yunho breathes.*

"So you escaped here?"

"Yes, noona." (A/N: Noona = elder sister)

I haven't seen this face in a long time, and now this face is filled with disdain. I've never been close to my sister. As I walked over and sat next to her, I realized that women look scarier as they grow older!

"The days without you have certainly been much more peaceful..." "Get out! I don't want to see your face!"

"You brat!"

"I've already greeted you. Who cares if I haven't seen you in a long time!" "You haven't changed at all!"

"Neither have you!"

I leaned in and caught a scent of her face, and immediately went back to my seat.

"Since when have you started putting on make up? Your whole face looks different!"

"I don't have time for silly things like that! I'm a busy person!"

"Or did you go for surgery...? It doesn't matter. I'm still prettier than you!"

Watching her clench her jaw in anger, I couldn't help laughing out loud. This made her even angrier. Do you want to hit me? Have you forgotten that I'm still a man after all.. Ah!!
