#3-4 Untold Truth: I'm sorry, for being like this

[From now on, it's Jeongguk's past]

Jeongguk's point of view

My mother has been running a small restaurant since my father passed away.

I'm a 6th grader and I help out with work after school.

전정국

Mom! I gave you all the plates!

어머니

Haha, you're a good person. Come here and rest for a bit.

전정국

Yes, if you have anything to order, please call!

Sometimes, when there was no one around, we talked.

전정국

Mom, I got praised at school today!

전정국

I'm a good dancer!

어머니

Our Jeongguk would be nice haha

어머니

I wonder how well Jungkook must have danced to be praised (Affectionate)

전정국

I'll show you!

It was hard to help with the work, but it was okay.

These small conversations made me happy.

But one day, my mother started to change.

No, life has changed

전정국

Mom, should I do the dishes now?

어머니

No, Jungkook, go home.

전정국

Yes? It's only 6 o'clock?

The restaurant closes at 8pm, but I always stay until the end.

I decided to listen to my mother and walked home.

전정국

Uhm...what time is it..?

전정국

11 o'clock??!!

I think I fell asleep waiting for my mother when I got home.

I looked at my watch and it was already 11 o'clock.

But my mother didn't come.

A few minutes later

Suddenly

전정국

Oh..Mom!

어머니

Jungkook? Aren't you asleep yet?

My heart ached when I saw you looking so haggard and tired.

전정국

Why are you so late.. (sob)

어머니

Baby, don't cry...

어머니

Mom, I'm late because I had work to do... I'm sorry.

전정국

Next time, I won't go home first. Let's go together.

어머니

Yeah, let's do that..

Mother's embrace was warm

Very much

But that warmth didn't last long.
