I knocked on the door and took a deep breath. It had been exactly three hours since I had left and now, as I stood outside our flat beside the stairs, the stubborn silence of the place made me feel nervous. Funny how the two people who I see and talk to everyday are the ones who stimulate the most nervousness and fear in me.

Mum opened the door and let me in, not uttering a single word and having an expressionless face.

"Mom..."

Silence.

"Mom...please listen to me."

Absolute silence.

"You're back! Come here you disrespectful woman, you need a good scolding." Big Mommy announced when she came out of her room and saw me.

"It's of no use Amma. I think it was my fault I pestered her so much. Why would she listen to me? After all, her mother failed in her own love story..." Mom spoke softly as a few streaks of water threatened to spill out of her eyes.

"Mom, I'm sorry! I'm really really sorry!" I cried and immediately hugged her, her warmth comforting my cold body.

"I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that. It was out of limits and highly disrespectful. No matter what, I should always consider your words even if I have grown up. I understand that now...I'm sorry... I'll listen to you now." I said as I continued to hug her.

For a moment, no one said anything. Then my Mom broke the silence.

"Well then I shortlisted a few guys on that app. Come in and check them out."

She broke the hug, smiled at me and went into her room. I looked at Big Mommy who just defended herself by saying, "Don't give me that look. I didn't do anything. She is a stubborn woman. But I'm curious...how did you agree to it?"

I just slapped my cheeks in response, cursing Jung Hoseok under my breath.
