Thank U for Being on My Side | ATEEZ Yunho

#4

Closing the front door with your foot, you put the bags of leftover ingredients at the table and went to your mother's room.

Your mother is still awake waiting for you finally coming home as always.

You walked to the side of her bed and kneel down beside her.

"Eomma, have you took your medication?"

"Yes I have sweetie, I'm just waiting for you to come home" she smiled at you weakly.

"Eomma are you sleepy yet? I wanna share my story from today~"

You tell your story to her. Your mother is so thankful that there's still other person to help her took care of you. She only has you now, her husband got into a big accident during his business trip, her husband's parents thought that your mother bring him bad luck just because she comes from middle-down household. They have been against their relationship since day one. They didn't took responsibilities for their daughter in law and grand daughter even cutting off all connection with their daughter in law family.

Since then, you and your mother have been holding on to each other very well until a couple years ago that your mother got sick. Now you need to keep supporting your mother and yourself living the harsh world.

-the next morning 6 am-

You get up turning off your alarm, you walk to the kitchen and start to cook for your mother and yourself. After half an hour, she put 2 plates full of homecooked meal and a pot of soup on the stove that can last through the day.

"Eomma, let's eat breakfast!" You assist her placing your hand on her waist.

Your mom has been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis* (*RA: inflammatory disorder affecting the joints).

After cleaning up the dishes you freshen up and get ready for work.

"Eomma don't forget to eat lunch and dinner and the medicines okay? Don't do anything tiring or it will be bad for your joints!" With that you close the front door.

You stood in front of the door and said to yourself.

"Eomma i hope you can get better soon, i will earn a lot of money so you can be cured as soon as possible" you said while closing your eyes, smiling by the thoughts of both of you having fun time together at the beach years ago along with your father.

You arrived at the subway with less people than yesterday. It's 7.20 am, your usual schedule heading to work. You don't like being squished with other people during the rush hour so you purposely coming to work early. Not to mention how yesterday's incident happened for the first time in your unlucky life. You get in and take a seat near the door between 2 middle-aged lady.

The next stop usually will load a quite sum of people but you're glad because you're a woman and you have a seat already. The doors open and yeah here it comes, most of them run to the nearest empty seat just like hearing the song stops at a singing chair game.

"I'm so sorry but can you please help me?" You heard a guy said.

You look up from your phone to see a man with glasses carrying some copy paper boxes stacked that nearly block his face.

"Oh yeah what can I help you with?" you replied with confused face.

"Can you please help me look over these boxes? I need to make a call, it's really urgent" he said with frantic expression.

"Oka-" you're cut off by him dropping the boxes to your lap in that instant.

/rude! I haven't even finished/

You will leave at the next stop but you didn't see that the man will end his call anytime soon. The door opens and you're ready to give the boxes back to the man but apparently he didn't hear you and even put his hand in the air signaling you to wait. You try to stand up but you're trapped by him and 2 older ladies beside you who actually were sleeping soundly now.

You heard the announcement of the door will be closed and the subway will be heading to the next station.

"Sir I need to get off here could you-"

And there it goes, the train leaves your destination and you can just swallow your plead down to the earth's core. You feel irritated now but you can only heave a sigh.

"Hey thank you for your help, I'll take care of these now" he said smiling showing his perfect pearly white teeth proudly while putting down the boxes on the floor now that the train is half empty than before.

You look at his name tag /Kim Hongjoong/

"You're welcome sir" you give your fake smile and hiss at the end.

After missing your stop, you got off the next station and take the train back to your supposed destination. It's 15 minutes before your work starts then you start to run into the train, out off the train, and run again to reach the workplace on time.
