"Ann, what did you do?" Ann sighed and looked at her mom in annoyance.

"What?"

"Kenji's eyes is puffy and he looks messed up."

"Don't put the blame on me."

"Cho Ann, in our family we always try to comfort people who are close to us. Why don't-"

"Aish! Fuck family! You don't get how that guy ruined my-"

"He did, but do you sometimes think that people changed?"

"Mom, I.. Can't just forgive him right away."

"He cares for your wellbeing and a man with a good heart is the one you shouldn't let go."

"That's probably in your time, but things changed."

"He cried in front of you and you're acting like a brat and an asshole."

"Cho Ann, I don't want my daughter to be a jerk in the future."

"I'm not a jerk, I.... Why can't you understand me sometimes?"

"Oh, did you tell mom to take her pills?" One of her mom's siblings came up to the chat that made Ann looked at them in puzzled.
