Chapter 10 - The Mother
Against All OddsThe sun had just shone up. Welcoming a new day to the Kim's residence. A woman figure in her 60's woke up, leaving her husband behind and busied herself preparing breakfast.
*glass fell, breaking into pieces*
"Oh my..."
"Ma'am, what happen?" A young lady ask.
"Min Jung-ah, I-I feel shaken for a while a-and accidentally jog the glass."
