黑暗中的光明

I went in my room, still dumbfounded. Han is acting too sweet nowadays. If he keeps doing that...I don't know what to think or feel anymore.

That sounded like "Lily Han". I better tell mom to stop calling me that.

Mom comes in and sits on the bed with me. She gives me a smile and quirks her eyebrows.

Umm. Why are you quirking your eyebrows like that mom?

Well...I know when a boy likes my daughter...and our visitor just now is very obvious.

Crap...she knows it too, and mom is never wrong.

He keeps looking at you during dinner, and I know that look because your father was like that before.

Up until now. I always caught dad staring at you.

Well, you know us. Anyways, did you know that he likes you?

Yeah. He did kinda confessed before, but we ended up just being friends..

Well that's a start. Usually before a relationship, there must be a friendship formed first. Like me and your dad.

I don't know what to do mom...I think...I don't want to enter a new relationship just yet.

Why not? I thought you got over your past?

I did, but I became more cautious now. I'm... afraid mom. You know I didn't handle my breakup very well.

When I broke up with Chan, "love" became a monster to me. I got so depressed, because I lost my best friend too, and that's why it hurts so

much when he left. I was in the dark for so long, and sometimes when I think about it, darkness visits me again. I don't know when will it

stop. That's why I also have trust issues. It doesn't matter how much you love or trust the person, because they can also break you.

Oh hun...I thought you're okay now, but it seems like you're still not.

Oh mom...can you stop calling me "hun"? I have a friend named Han now.

Oh right. Of course. Didn't you say you want to talk to me about something?

Oh right. So aunt Sooyeon wants a photoshoot with me again...

Oh no mom. I just want to ask for your advice...do you think I should do it?

Hun..Oh I mean...Lily, you're the only one who can answer that. I can only support you on whatever decision you make.

Mom can be pushy sometimes. Like on my fitness and modeling, but when it comes to my personal issues, she lets me decide and supports me.

She didn't like Bang Chan before, but when she saw how much I cared about him, she allowed us to be together. She also made an effort to get

to know Chan. Mom really liked him after that, sadly we didn't last, so she kinda hates him again.

We talked anyways, so I think it's all good. We met in the grocery store, and we fixed things up.

Is it? You need to be sure Soohee. I won't be there always.

I think so. He's still proving himself, and I gave him a chance.

You're a good person Soohee, and strong. That's why I'm proud of you. Even though I'm disappointed at Chan, I hope you two can still be

Yeah. That's what I thought too. I really hope things will be okay, so we can have a closure on the past.

Mom kisses my forehead and hugs me. I really have the best mom, and I'm always thankful for that.

I like Han though. Think about giving him a chance too, because he really likes you. It doesn't have to be soon, but you'll know when you're

ready to enter a relationship again. I won't push you on this one.

I'm still getting to know him, so not yet.

I on the other hand, liked what I saw earlier. Nothing's sweeter than a kiss on the forehead...

I covered my head on the pillows, trying to hide my embarrassment, and mom is laughing at me.

I didn't mind honey don't worry! I think it's sweet. He knew that something was wrong, because he was looking at you worried during dinner..

See? That's a sign of jealousy. He might be feeling threatened by Chan.

Maybe...but I want them to get along too.

Okay. I'll leave you now, it's late so go to sleep.

Oh wait mom! We're going on a roatrip by the way...The girls will be there, and we'll be with Han and his friends too.

No no no. It's just a hangout. Is it okay? It'll be two days and one night.

Okay. I'm not that strict. Just promise me you girls will be in a different room!

Jeez mom of course! Why would we all be in the same room...

Ugh. We don't drink mom. Alcohol tastes bitter.

Mom kisses my forehead goodnight and leaves my room.

Oh no... should I answer it? I feel awkward all of a sudden, but I think I should confront him on what he did earlier..

Yeah. I didn't know what got into me...it just happened naturally!

So you do that whenever you say goodbye to a girl...you kiss their hand or forehead? What's next? My lips?

Umm. How many times do I have to say that I'm not like this towards a girl before?

Yeah yeah. I'm just teasing you. You left me dumbfounded earlier.

Sorry Soohee. I just got caught up in the moment you know. It entered my mind when you rested your forehead on my shoulder..

No! I didn't say that...I felt...you know... butterflies?

Ugghh give me a break Soohee...You know what I feel. Can you blame me?

*sighs* I forgive you. Can you just ask my permission before you do sweet things like that?

Can I kiss your lips next time?? *keeps laughing* I asked for a permissioooon~

I ended the call before he talks more. I looked into the mirror and I see a different person...

WHO IS THAT GIRL WHO LOOKS LIKE A TOMATO?!

I'm sorry Soohee. I was just kidding. Don't take it seriously! Although I really want to. Goodnight Soohee! ♥️
