Exists, but does not exist

Episode 26

I hid behind a telephone pole and looked at my mother.

....!!!!

My mother was locking lips with another man.

It looked pretty hot.

I rubbed my eyes, wondering if something was wrong with my eyes.

강여주 image

강여주

What the... That's ridiculous...

Even though I rubbed my eyes, I kept seeing the same scene.

강여주 image

강여주

....

My heart started beating fast.

I wished it was just a dream.

I automatically took a step back.

But still, I believed in my mother...

In the end, was my mother no different from my father?

.. That doesn't mean my father committed adultery or anything like that.

강여주

....

강여주 image

강여주

Phew.....

I took a deep breath.

강여주 image

강여주

Ugh... Ugh...

Even though I tried to calm down, I couldn't calm down.

He leaned against the telephone pole and collapsed.

People passing by the alley glanced at me and left

I didn't have time to care about it.

I think I sat like that for about 20 minutes.

I carefully got up and looked at the place where my mother and the unknown man had been before.

강여주

.. gone

I checked that my mother had left and staggered home.

-Clang

어머니

Are you here?

When I entered the house, my mother greeted me with a smile.

강여주 image

강여주

.... yes.

I gave a vague answer and walked to my room.

강여주 image

강여주

.. Oh, Mother

어머니

huh?

강여주 image

강여주

...you collapsed a few days ago?

어머니

Falling down, me?

강여주 image

강여주

yes..

어머니

No, I've never fallen..?

강여주 image

강여주

...

Did my father already know?

Did they deliberately lie about being hospitalized to hide this fact?

강여주 image

강여주

all right

I forced a smile and went into the room.

My mother looked at me with a puzzled expression.

강여주 image

강여주

what..?

So this is why my father didn't tell me which hospital my mother was hospitalized in.

About my mother who is away from home for a few days because of the wind,

My father had been lying that my mother had simply collapsed.

I wonder if I'll be shocked again...

I buried my face in the pillow.

-Jiying

When I saw Seungcheol's DM, my complicated feelings calmed down a little.

Good job lol

I replied to Seungcheol and threw my phone on the bed.

강여주 image

강여주

Phew..

I was starting to feel hungry.

강여주 image

강여주

Should I go to the convenience store?

I took my wallet and put on my slippers.

어머니

Where are you going, heroine?

Now I didn't even want to look at my mother's face.

강여주 image

강여주

..it's a convenience store.

어머니

What about dinner?

강여주 image

강여주

I'll eat alone and come back.

어머니

... I get it.

I was standing in front of the ramen corner wondering what to eat.

Even while looking at the ramen, that shocking scene from earlier wouldn't leave my head.

강여주 image

강여주

iced coffee...

I bowed my head deeply.

???

uh..?
