After the conversation I had with Soe Yeon, I sat on my chair, facing the plain walls, the conversation repeating in my mind. A faint smile makes its way on my lips as I remember her reactions, I stop the faint smile from stretching further. 'What's happening to me, she's annoying and rude anyway'.

My thoughts were cut off by the ringtone of my phone, I change my focus from the wall to my phone, 'Daniel', was written on the screen. I hesitate to answer, but then swipe the answer button.

"Yes", I emotionlessly say.

"Sir, your mom is in a terrible condition, her blood pressure is high. She's at the hospital at the moment and we are waiting for the doctors to tell us about-", Daniel spoke in a serious tone before I cut him off, his voice showed a little fright and nervousness that couldn't be easily spotted.

" What?, what Hospital are you in? "I ask, now standing from my seat  I rush to my office door and pass through.

" She's in xxxxxx hospital sir", he explained before I ended the call.

I look at the secretary on my right and tell her I won't be back until tomorrow, she nods her head at me and goes back to her desk, taking a seat while I move to the elevator. Once in the elevator, I move my fingers through my hair, frustrated and anxious of what might happen.

My mom, who hasn't seen me in the past 7 years, is finally going to meet her only son after I got a call from her personal caretaker telling me she's in the hospital. 'I should have let her seen me at least once', 'what if her condition is that bad', 'I can't lose more than I already lost', thoughts as such roam through my head, making the anxiety worst, as well as the patience.

When I reach the first floor, I see the employees bow at me from the corner of my I, but I don't give them much attention as I focus on exiting the building. I quickly walk to the doors of the company and make my way through, the cool breeze greeting me and walk straight to my car.

Reaching my destination, I run out of the car and walk up the stairs to the front door. Facing the regeneration, I walk up it, where a middle aged woman greets me and asks what I might be looking for. "Will you please look for me where Mrs. Jeon Chaeyoung is staying? ", I ask.

The lady senses that i am in a hurry and quickly looks up the name.
"it's room 345, on the third floor. You'll find the room the fifth one to the right", she tells me with a genuine smile.

"OK thank you", I say returning the smile, I turn around to me before I hear her say,"I hope everything is fine".

When I reach the third floor, I get more nervous and awkward. I take small steps, with every one of them a new thought builds up in my mind, until I reach door number 345.' you've done this to yourself, she's your mom and you were meant to take care of her'. I slowly turn the knob of the door, hands trembling, with hesitant movement.

The moment I enter, I am faced to the bed where she lies on, my heart shakes as I see her in the hospital gown. Her eyes meet mine as I continue staring at her, my whole body shakes when a tear forms in her eyes and she immediately stood up, running for the door and pulls me into a hug.

My emotions can't be held when she does so, staring at the empty space in the bed, my eyes begin to sting and I gain a feeling I haven't gained in ages.

Sadness

Sadness fills me as she pulled me into a hug, sobs could be heard from my direction and my shoulders start shaking. "shhh, stop crying, I am here now", she says, pulling out of the hug and looking directly at me. I noticed how her voice has got a little deeper than I could remember.
