Jennie's P.O.V.

"W-who are you?" I questioned as I stared intently unto her, thinking she was trying to hurt my aunt.

"J-Jennie..." Everyone said in chorus, with my aunt widening her eyes as she glanced at me by the door.

"Jennie, it's me." The unfamiliar woman goes near towards me, her cold fingertips carresing my cheeks as tears stream down her cheeks.

"It's me Jennie, it's your mother..."

"W-what I don't understand..."

"I'm your eomma, Jennie."

"What the hell are you babbling about? My mom already left me years ago, because I was on offspring of her and my bastard dad. So stop this nonesense." Salty tears roamed down to my cheek, my throat feels like it's caught up with a rock.

"Jennie... I know you are frustrated and you doubt me for leaving you, but I'll never do that to you again..." She held my hands, carresing it. I jerked her hands off, balling into a fist.

"How dare you... I-I...." I stuttered, falling into my wobbly knees. My hands roamed through my hair, making it messed up. My face was covered in sweat and tears, and I could taste it.

"Jennie, please..." she begged, "That's enough. Let Jennie be." My aunt pulled her away from me, and now I'm left with Jisoo embracing me.

"Unnie... why is my life like this?" I uttered under my breath as I leaned unto Jisoo's chest. My tears and snot fell to Jisoo's shirt, yet she continues to embrace me woth a warm hug.

"Just let it out... I'm here for you." Jisoo says as I cry endlessly.

The room was silent, only us Jisoo and my cousins were there. They all wanted to confort me, yet I'm already in Jisoo's arms.

"Please drink some water, Jennie unnie." Su-an gave me glass of water, which I first rejected. "Please..." She begged, and I sipped a little bit, tasting water mixed with tears.

"I told you it won't make any difference!" I could her my aunt's yelling, "I know, but please give me one last chance to be with her!" Along with my mother's yelling.

Mother..

Someone I never had. Yet here she is now, claiming me back...

"Now that she's grown up, and succesful you want her back, After you left her years ago because she was result of a mistake and because you wanted to go after another man?"

She left me because she could remember the painful memory of my father...

She left me because the man she loves is worthful than me...

"I know, I know I have wronged her. But I at least want to ket her know that I love her, to make her feel that she has a mother...."

All these years I've been longing for a mother, and here she is. But for a brief moment I stopped.

It feels surreal, unimaginable, and it drives me insane....

And of all the times, why at this moment?

This moment where Taehyung broke my heart, this moment where everyone criticizes me, this moment where I'm struggling to fit in everyone's standards.

And now the world keeps burdening me cause there us another thing that came to me, it is my mother who left me ages ago...

"I want to go home unnie..." I whispered under my breath, standing on my knees. "Wait, Jennie..." She held my wrist, she was on her knees, begging. "Give me a chance to prove to you, to be a mother to my daughter."

I looked at my aunt at the other corner, pressing my lips in pressure.
"I'm sorry, but I just can't. I can't face you now." I flinched, looking away from my mother.

"Jennie, can we talk for a little while?" My aunt came close, patting my head, carresing my cheeks as she dries my tears away.

She pulls me into the balcony, sitting on the wooden benches. The cold breeze rushed, drying all the wet from my tears.

"Jennie, I know what your mother has did years ago." She outs ger hand over mine, "But I know for sure that there's a feeling in your heart, longing for her..."

"It might be hard for you, but she is your mother. She might have mistaken, but then she loves you so much." My eyes were glued to the ground, legs swinging as my heart throbs faster.

"Maybe not now, but slowly and slowly. Try to accept her." She pats my head as she stands up from her seat. She left me there, sitting alone.

I looked up the skies, wondering what did I ever do to deserve such pain in my life.

"My daughter..." I was disturbed by a sudden pat on my shoulder, only to find it was her. "May I sit with you?" I didn't bother of her exsistence, staring at the bushes, not sparing a glance.

"I know it's hard. But please give me another chance..." She starts, "I'm sorry but I can't look you in the eye." I replied, my eyes glued to the ground.

"Does that mean you are giving me a chance?" I nod at her statement, still not looking at her. "Can I... at least hug you just once?" She asks, as I move away from her, now on the edge of the bench.

"It's alright... I understand, it's all my fault anyways. I'll wait until you are ready. Just know that I love you so much, and I'm ready to wait no matter how long it takes for you."

I stood up from the bench, inserting my arms with Jisoo's, "Auntie, I'll go now." I bid, eyeing my mother at the corner of the eye.

I love her, I long for her. She is my mother...

But I'm still afraid to trust.


Especially that most ones I trust were liars all along...
