﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

I enter the restaurant near the hospital. The clanking of utensils and light chatter of people made me feel at ease. The menu here is pretty expensive but it's worth it, besides I'm sure Yuta is paying.

I sit down at the only table that is vacant, and it's for two people too. I ask a waiter to give me service water while I wait.

"Here you go, miss." He said with a smile.

"Thank you." I gulp down the cold, tasteless beverage.

I wait for at least a few minutes before I finally see Yuta by the entrance. We made eye contact and I waved my hands to gesture him to come here.

He sat down with a nervous smile.

A waiter approached our table and asked us what we wanted to have. We both told him our orders and he left with a bow.

"How are you?" I decided to initiate the conversation, since he's clearly too nervous to speak. A huge contrast as to what he was when we met in the park.

"I've been doing well. Although a part of me wasn't because I kept thinking back to the night you left me. Why, Seohyun? Why did you leave me?" His voice went quiet as he said the last two parts.

I sigh and look down on my hands.
I didn't expect him to get straight to the point. But might as well tell him everything.

"You remember my mom, right?" I look up at him, he nodded. "Well you already know that she doesn't like the idea of the both of us being together so...

"Break up with him or I'll take care of him myself!" I got angry. I shouted back at her, "I am old enough to make my own fucking decisions, you can't keep controlling me like this because I am in fact a grown adult now. It's more than enough that I put up with your bullshit ever since I was young, but this, this is the last straw. I am kicking you out of my life, I don't want to see your face nor hear your stupid name anymore--"

She slapped me. I held my stinging left cheek while tears started streaming down my face.

"I fed you, made you go to school, took care of you and this is all I get from you?!" Tears streamed down her face too, but I wasn't affected by it, she only said the good things but forgot about the bad ones.

"You took care of me but you didn't actually care! You abused me, mentally tortured me, controlled me, kept me away from freedom, and I haven't even heard a single "I love you" or "I'm proud of you" come out of your mouth!" No, she didn't love me. No mother would ever do that to her child.

"You never did anything to make me proud." That's when I snapped. All those awards, medals, trophies that I earned from competitions were worthless to her?!

"Fuck you! I hope you die a slow painful death where you scream and scream and no one would ever hear you. I'm going to Yuta." I turned my back at her but little did I know that she grabbed a bottle of soju and smashed it on my head. I blacked out.
I glanced at Yuta to see that he's listening intently, his expression is serious, it made me slightly uncomfortable, I haven't seen this side of him in such a long time so I continued.

I woke up with an aching head. I put my right hand to the spot where she had hit me, it had dry blood. I didn't know how long I was out. I turned my head when I heard her irritating voice.
"Break up with him or I will kill him, even if it's the last thing I do, even if I get arrested." My eyes went wide, "You wouldn't." I spat, anger filled my whole body. I stood up and tried to approach her but my legs were restraint and I fell, face first.

She stood up from the chair she was sitting on and went to me. She lifted my head by pulling my hair. She looked at me dead in the eyes and that's when I knew that she would kill you.

A stray tear fell down on my left cheek. "Fine!" She smiled in triumph and released me from the restraints.

"If I find out that you two are still together by the next two days then I won't hesitate on killing him, and if the police finds out about this" she gestured towards the scene, "then I will kill both of you."

I was afraid, very afraid. So I ran to my apartment and locked myself in. When you came to visit well...

You already know the following events." I smiled sadly. "I didn't want you to die, you were too young and you didn't deserve it, I'm sorry, it was the only thing I could do at the time, I was ignorant. I couldn't save our relationship." I looked up at him and we locked eyes.

"Here's your orders." A waiter announced and put our orders on the table, I muttered a thanks and we started to eat.

No one tried to start a conversation. It was silent between the both of us.  It made me anxious. What's Yuta thinking about? We ate for 30 whole minutes.

"I understand." He finally broke the awkward silence once we finished our food. "But I wish we could at least be friends." I heard him add.

I smiled lightly, if only he knew how much I wanted us to be back together, as a couple. "Who said that we can't?" I told him.

He smiled back. "Can I get the check please?" He asked a waiter nearby.

After Yuta paid for the food, we went to a park with a playground. We're currently on the swings.

"Who was the girl you were with when we saw each other at Hangang Park?" I asked. That question has been bothering me ever since.

He looked at me, confused. "Girl? Hangang Park? We saw each other?" He furrowed his eyebrows as I nodded.

"I think you're mistaken. I only saw you recently in the hospital and right now." It was my turn to furrow my eyebrows. Does he not remember any of the previous events or is he just pretending that he forgot?

Something's off and I'm going to find out what it is.
