“Ji-oh really liked you a lot, even from a young age.”
Yeo-un’s eyes widened.
Ji-oh liked me since I was young?
Was she expressing that she liked me just as a friend?
“Well, we were friends… indeed.”
Heewon smiled faintly.
“Anyway, seeing you two meet like this, it seems like fate for both of you.”
“Haha…”
Yeo-un laughed awkwardly. Somehow, she felt embarrassed. Did Heewon come out knowing that she and Ji-oh were in a romantic relationship?
“Ji-oh… didn’t come out, as expected. I kind of anticipated it.”

“Oh, actually, I haven’t talked to Ji-oh about meeting his mom yet.”
Upon her words, Heewon nodded lightly.
“Even if you told him, he probably wouldn’t come out.”
“What?”
“…It must be difficult to forgive; after all, she’s the mother who abandoned him.”
Yeo-un’s eyes widened. It was a story she didn’t expect to hear directly from Heewon.
With a bitter smile, Heewon asked Yeo-un.
“How much did Ji-oh tell you? But meeting me like this, it’s not just a casual relationship, right?”
“Oh, well…”
“Yeah. I see… Did Ji-oh ever talk about me?”

“I heard recently. He said he doesn’t contact his mother.”
“Did you hear the reason?”
“I heard something… vague.”
“Yeah… It’s probably hard to forgive, being a mother who abandoned him.”
Yeo-un’s eyes grew larger. Heewon revealed something she didn’t know Ji-oh talked about.
Heewon wiped her eyes, looking a bit embarrassed. When Yeo-un offered her a tissue, Heewon wiped her eyes and continued speaking.
“At that time, I felt more pain from my shattered life than a child. I wanted to run away. So, I abandoned my name and started anew in the United States. Ji-oh needed a mother’s love the most then, but I was consumed by work.”
Yeo-un pressed her lips. It was a short story, but Heewon’s complex emotions were clearly revealed.
It seemed she regretted not being by Ji-oh’s side back then.
Yeo-un felt sorry. If Heewon had been with Ji-oh with her current feelings, how good would it have been?

Of course, Heewon might not have had the emotional capacity at that time, but even a little attention to Ji-oh…
Then, he might not have grown up so lonely.
Heewon, who wiped away her tears, continued speaking.
“Ji-oh met his current husband when he was in high school. It really felt like everything was starting anew.”
“Ah…”
Yeo-un couldn’t figure out how to respond. How should she accept Heewon’s words that she started a new life before Ji-oh?
It sounded like she just abandoned Ji-oh.
“Before getting married, during the first dinner we all had together with my current husband, Ji-oh said something like that. That he would… abandon me.”
“What?”
Heewon suddenly stopped speaking. Tears streamed down her face as she bit her lips, holding back her sobs.
Yeo-un was puzzled.

Ji-oh said he would abandon his mother? What did that mean?
Heewon spoke with a choked voice.
“He says he won’t abandon me… that he’ll abandon himself. Now that he’s debuted and can live on his own, he doesn’t need a mother anymore.”
Ah…
Yeo-un’s lips parted.
Did he say such words with what kind of feelings? As she grasped the meaning, tears streamed down uncontrollably.
It wasn’t abandonment; it was letting go.
It meant not to bother about herself anymore, as his mother, who was marrying another man.
Yeo-un covered her face with both hands. Thinking of Ji-oh, who casually spoke such words, her heart ached as if torn apart.
How could a high school student say such a thing?

It was an unimaginable statement. Abandoning his mother…
“After that, Ji-oh didn’t answer my calls. It seems like he really abandoned me. Still, someone like me, a mother…”
Heewon smiled sadly with a regretful expression.
Yeo-un didn’t know what else to say in response to her words.
She couldn’t bear Ji-oh’s sorrow. Even now, she felt like rushing to him and embracing him.
Yeo-un shed tears with one hand covering her mouth.
“…”
“…”
A considerable silence hung between the two.
Heewon, wiping tears with tissues, spoke to Yeo-un with a somewhat composed face.

“It’s something I haven’t told anyone… If I made it uncomfortable, I’m sorry.”
“No… I’m relieved to know. I never imagined Ji-oh grew up so lonely.”
“…It’s been over ten years since I saw Ji-oh. Ji-oh, is he doing well? Is he not sick?”
“Yes…”
After contemplating for a while, Heewon cautiously asked Yeo-un.
“By any chance, if Ji-oh ever feels like meeting me… could you give him my contact information?”
“…”
“And tell him I’m sorry… Please.”
Yeo-un nodded. Heewon thanked her with a faint smile.
“Let me treat you to something nice. I’ve only been talking about myself. Just wait a moment.”

Heewon got up, went to the counter, and placed various orders. While Heewon brought the food, Yeo-un opened her phone and checked her conversation with Ji-oh.
He’s probably sleeping now…
How would he react when he found out about her meeting Heewon?
Listening to Heewon’s story, his feelings towards his mother didn’t seem like resentment.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
