Eighteen
Passing ByHAYI'S POV
"Holy carabao." I whispered to myself as a woman started to walk towards me with a smile plastered on her face.
I looked at Jaewon smiling at me.
What is this?
I looked around the store but there's no one here except us.
What the hell? I tried to resist the fear building up inside me but my feet said no. I unconsciously walked back little by little.
Oh my God. Please help me.
I felt the door opened behind me. I looked at Jaewon with apologetic smile and rushed to the door.
"Ouch!" I looked at the woman I bumped into. "MOM!"
She looked at me surprised but smiled afterwards. "Hey! I was about to buy you a tteokbokki."
Oh my gosh. Of all places, why here?!
"Let's go." I told her and took her hand.
I was about to walk out but she did not move. "Mom. Let's go." I looked back at her.
Oh .
She was now face to face with Jaewon's mom.
I released her hand and looked at them. They're not gonna do a scene here right?
People will come in any second.
"Mrs. Jung." My mom said as she looked at the witch.
I looked at Dr. Jung looking at my mom with 'disgust' but after a moment tears came rolling down her eyes.
Ummmm. What was that?
Mom did not slap or punch her right? She just said her name right? Then why did she cry? Its my first time seeing her in a vulnerable state. She used to be that powerful, 'you can't do anything about what I say' aura.
And now, she just looks like a woman. Broken.
"I am so sorry for everything." My mom continued as she looked straight into Dr. Jung's eyes.
Did they know each other?
How? Why?
Dr. Jung continued to sob silently while wiping her tears. What is happening?
I looked at Jaewon silently watching our mothers. He looked at me for a second but looked back at them afterwards.
I walked towards him. "What is happening?"
"You'll see." He answered without even giving me a look. I rolled my eyes at him and looked again at the two.
"No. I am sorry." Dr. Jung held my mom's hands. "I tried to ruin your life when you didn't do anything wrong."
Mom was shocked with her words. And so am I.
Is she really the Dr. Jung I know?
She turned 180°. Oh my gosh. Is she being real right now or she's just acting because Jaewon's here?
Ugh. Why do problems never stop to appear? My life's already a mess.
"It's not your fault. So don't apologize. I just looked for someone to blame when he died." Dr. Jung continued while still sobbing.
It doean't look like an act though. Her tears have no end.
I looked at my mom fighting her tears to fall. Mom.
"I blamed you for everything even though you never accepted him." Dr. Jung's sobs louder.
"I knew from the very start that you advised him to never leave us. But I still blamed you for his death." Dr. Jung wiped her tears and looked at mom again. "I am so sorry for all the stupidity I've done."
What are they talking about? I mean, who?
I looked at Jaewon crossed arms still looking at the two mothers. Why does he look like someone watching a weekend drama?
And why are they like this?
I never felt so clueless like this before. Like guys, mind telling me?
"No no. I should have rejected him in a good way. I shouldn't have just told him to gt lost." Mom sobbed as she hugged Dr. Jung.
Wait. Are they talking about a guy?
Did they fight over a guy?
What the hell?
Ugh. I hate solving cases. I hate brainworks.
I walked towards them. "What're all these?" I asked no one particularly.
They both looked
