The problem now was Seungju, having just learned this fact. The shock must have been immense.
[“My mom would never leave me to die.”] [“I haven’t given up on mom either. I won’t give up until the end.”]Seungju had firmly believed his mother was alive somewhere. He had even encouraged Eunseo to stay strong and search together…
Only now did she fully grasp the cruelty of losing one’s memory. Why must he suffer the pain of losing his mother twice?
As the train slowly trudged along, Eunseo was restless with worry. He must be alone, crying somewhere. She needed to be by his side.
Arriving at Yangju station, she took a taxi and finally reached the memorial center after about 20 minutes. Unable to call out Seungju’s name in the quiet, solemn place, Eunseo rushed through the area looking for him.
The moment she saw a large figure in a suit from the back, a wave of relief washed over her.
Eunseo approached quietly and stood beside him.
He was looking at a white urn with a name inscribed on it.
Kang Hyesun.
That was Seungju’s mother’s name.
“…….”
Unable to face Seungju, she quietly gazed at the urn. Then, a voice came from above.
“I went to the police station before coming here. The one in charge of mom’s case from the past.”
His voice was calm but strained, revealing how much he had cried.
“They said when she was found, she was already a skeleton. It’s hard to estimate accurately, but it seems she passed away around the time she left the house.”
“…….”
“Just like that, I waited every day. Mom must have been so lonely in the woods, unnoticed by anyone…!”
His voice broke into a sob again. Eunseo was at a loss for words.
“….Seungju.”
“Why couldn’t I protect mom? I was just a burden, making her life harder….”
Seeing the innocent boy blaming himself tore her heart apart. Eunseo reached out and grabbed his shoulders firmly.
“Mom never thought of you as a burden. She lived for you, even through tough times.”
“No, I’m sure the last letter said she was tired…”
“No, you were the reason she kept going.”
Eunseo said it with conviction.
Why? She was sure, even without having met his mother. Betrayed by her husband, the only thing left for her was her child. Seungju was the sole light in her life.
“Did she leave by her own will?”
Seungju shook his head, his eyes red and swollen.
“It’s been too long, the cause of death is unknown…”
“See? She must have just gone out for some fresh air and met with an accident.”
It couldn’t have been suicide. How could she leave a child like Seungju behind?
Eunseo’s throat tightened as she guessed what his mother must have felt in her last moments. How could she close her eyes leaving behind her young son? How much, how much must she have regretted it…
“Could it have been like that? Really, did mom…”
His broad shoulders shook.
Eunseo stretched out her arms as wide as she could and embraced the grown child. Seungju burst into tears, burying his face in Eunseo’s shoulder.
“It’s okay. Everything will be alright.”
As she stroked his wide back, Eunseo gazed over his shoulder at the white urn.
She silently spoke to his mother, whom she only knew by name.
‘Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to take good care of Seungju.’
[Star Icon]Arriving back at Yangju station to buy train tickets, Seungju hesitated.
“Can I go with you, Eunseo?”
Surprised by his sudden question, Eunseo turned to him.
“What do you mean? Weren’t you going to?”
“Now that mom’s gone, I don’t have the excuse of waiting for her anymore.”
Eunseo then realized what he was thinking.
“I knew it too. If mom hadn’t returned for 15 years, she probably wouldn’t come back. But I wanted to stay at your house under the pretext of waiting for her. I had nowhere else to go…”
With still reddened eyes, Seungju looked apprehensive.
“Now that I know mom is gone, can I still stay at your house?”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
