Hyunsuk's POV

I tried to stop my tears as Areum gave me a thumbs up. I turned around and tried my best to walk away.

Maybe she'll follow me... maybe she'll shout or something? Maybe she'll suddenly hug me and whisper the words that I want to hear.

'I still love you.'

My tears started to fall as I reached our house but nothing happened. She didn't come after me. She didn't call me.

She doesn't love me anymore.

I took a deep breath as I entered our house. My mom saw me and her gaze shifted at my knuckles.

"CHOI HYUNSUK! What's wrong with you knuckles?!"

She immediately ran towards me and held both of my hands. I just felt that my tears started to fall and I my mom hugged me tight.

"Mom... I don't want to lose her... I... I was the first one..."

She patted my back and my tears continued to flow down my cheeks. My chest started to hurt so bad and it feels like I have something stuck in my throat.

"Mom... I don't want to... lo-lose Areum..."
She shushed and continued to comfort me. She pulled out of the hug and held my shoulders.

"Can you... make her happy?" My eyebrows furrowed as she uttered those words. I was getting confused but she just smiled at me. She made me sit at the couch and treated my cuts.

"You see, Hyunsuk... I didn't really like your father when we were young." My mom started to speak when she was disinfecting my cuts.

"I liked someone else... but your father would always make me laugh and he always made me feel special so I fell in love with him." She stopped for a while and looked at my eyes.

"I'll help you with Areum but you need to promise me that you will make her happy, all the time. If the moment comes, where she cried because she wants to be with someone else, let her go."
