"Kim Junkyu, you've been daydreaming all this time. Is something wrong? Tell me," his mother said softly to her only son. Junkyu, who heard this, just shook his head with a smile.
"Didn't he read my message? Why hasn't he heard from me at all?"Junkyu muttered, occasionally looking at his cellphone which displayed blank notifications.
"Are you waiting for Choi Misoo? Don't worry, I already invited her without you asking." After rubbing the top of her child's head, her mother immediately walked back to the kitchen.
Still preparing various trays filled with food. His mother cooked everything herself, assisted by several waiters. His mother owns a restaurant that's ranked among the top five in the country and has numerous branches.
"Junkyu, honey, Mom is cooking. Don't hug me like you want to go away," his mother said after feeling his possessive hug on her waist.
"It's me, Mrs. Kim." But the voice wasn't Junkyu's. It was the voice of the woman he'd been waiting for. Junkyu's mother turned to face the person hugging her.
"Choi Misoo-ssi. You've come, dear. Mother has been waiting for you." Junkyu's mother hugged her as if there was a strong bond between them. A happy Misoo also quickly tightened her hug on Junkyu's mother.
"Junkyu-ya!! Come here!!". His mother shouted, seeing Misoo giggling because of her expression. Junkyu came and gasped after seeing Misoo in front of him. Suddenly, their eyes met. Each stared intently into the other's eyes. Neither of them ended it.
"Ehm." They immediately looked away after hearing Junkyu's mother cough and laugh. "Come on, Junkyu-ya. You take Misoo to the dining room. Mom's cooking isn't finished yet."
"Ah, no need, Mrs. Kim. I can help Mrs. Kim cook." Misoo immediately refused and returned to Mrs. Junkyu's embrace, but Junkyu immediately pulled his hand away without warning. Mrs. Junkyu, who saw it, only smiled and shook her head.
***
Junkyu and Misoo were already sitting across from each other. There was silence between them. Neither of them made a sound, and even the slightest movement was difficult.
Ddrtttt
The phone vibrates.
Junkyu, sensing this, immediately reached into his jacket pocket and glanced at his phone. The person he was waiting for had already replied to his message.
"I'm already in front of your house."
"Come in".
"I can't go in alone, you know this is my first time coming to your house."
"Wait there, I'll pick you up."
Junkyu immediately left there and left Misoo alone to pick up the person who was on the phone earlier."What is Park Mia?".Misoo's heart and looks were very painful for her.
"Honey, where's Junkyu?" Junkyu's mother came with a tray and was greeted gently by Misoo.
"Mother Kim." The person who was called immediately turned to Misoo. "Did Junkyu invite someone to dinner tonight?"
"I don't know, honey. I just invited you. What's wrong?"
"It seems Junkyu is inviting someone to attend this event." Misoo replied with a smile even though she was holding back the pain she felt.
"Are you and Junkyu....".
"Mom." Misoo and her mother's conversation was interrupted when Junkyu arrived with someone Misoo knew very well. But it turned out to be her mother who didn't recognize her.
"Junkyu, you invited someone to our event? But you didn't tell your mother who made the event. You naughty child."
"Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you because I wanted to surprise you."
"Who is he?". Her mother asked, which now made Misoo's whole body freeze. She wanted to run away and go home from there. She couldn't stand Junkyu's treatment of her.
"Introduce Mom, this is Park Mia. My sweetheart".
The mother who was surprised by her son was also very surprised after hearing the wordsMy lover.Her mother even slowly glanced at Misoo, who was frozen at this moment. Misoo couldn't even smile.
"Kim Junkyu, don't you see my presence right now?"
"Ah, hahaha. Mom didn't even know you had a boyfriend. Does Misoo know him?" Junkyu's mother had brought Misoo out of her reverie. Misoo smiled and nodded. Trying to appear okay.
"Mia-ssi. Thank you for coming here. Please sit down." Misoo said, shifting her seat to give Mia the chance to sit beside her. But Junkyu's hand was quicker to pull Mia to sit beside him.
"A lover shouldn't sit too far from his lover," he said without looking at Misoo, making Mia finally give in and sit beside Junkyu.
"I really can't stand being here with you anymore. Kim Junkyu."
Then suddenly Misoo picked up her phone and put it to her ear. She said what she should have said on the phone.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Mother Kim. It seems I can't attend this dinner. I just got news that you're home. I have to go home now."
"It's a shame I can't take you there. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, Mrs. Kim. I can go home by myself, it seems like there are still buses at this hour."
"No need, dear. Junkyu-ya, you take Misoo to her house. Also bring this for Mother Choi."
"Ah, no need, Mother Kim. Earlier, Mother told me that she had eaten out."
"Ah, I see. Okay, Junkyu-ya. Hurry up and take him home, I don't want him to take the bus home at this time of night."
"I can....".
"Let's go," Junkyu replied, immediately pulling her hand to follow him. Misoo simply accepted it and stared at Junkyu's back with tears in her eyes.
