Hoya's POV 

I got in my car and headed towards the police station again and unfortunately, it was the same one that I've been to yesterday 

I parked my car, closest to the entrance and I just sat there for 5 minutes, thinking of what I'm going to say to my 'mom' if i'm going to even speak at all. I sighed deeply once I decided that I should head in. I took off my sunglasses and got out the car and headed towards the main office 

"Ah, Hoya, I assume," an old officer greeted with a pat on the back and I nodded my head stiffly, surprised at his gesture 

"Come this way," he guided and led me to an empty cafeteria and once we entered I saw a familiar looking silhouette sitting on a chair, still looking as confident as ever 

I grabbed the chair from across of her and sat down

"Oh, it's you," she snarled and I only smirked, expecting that kind of behavior from her 

"I am the only one that could get out of here, so I suggest you cut your crap and that attitude of yours and I'll see what I could do," 

"A nothing like you don't have that kind of power, you aren't capable of such thing," she spat ,"I can get out of here without you and I'm more powerful and capable of doing it in a cell that you are at the office," 

"No, you can't. All the blackmails, threats that you have are no longer useful. The higher-ups have confessed and you have no way to run," I informed her gladly and I saw her smirk turn down into a frown and almost immediately I smiled 

"You old hag, still don't get it? You aren't in charge anymore, you are going to jail," 

"WHY YOU LITTLE.."

"Ah ah ah~ what did I say? I told you, I'M the only one that could get you out of here," and she immediately shut and once again, I let out another fit of laughter from relief 

"But i'm sorry to say that, that's not going to happen. You are going to jail whether you like it or not,"

"You should be grateful, I could've just left you at the orphanage. I raised you!"

"Grateful? Raised me? I would rather stay at that orphanage then live under your name! STAYING UNDER YOU WAS LIVING HELL!" I yelled in her face as I slammed my hands on the table, but she didn't flinch, not once

"You are not a mother, you are certainly not human,"

"Well that's just your opinion,"

I stood up "We're done, and I hope you have a happy life in prison Lee Jong Su," I said coldly and left the room but I heard her laugh madly before I shut the doors 

I got in my car and leaned my head against the wheel 

*knock knock* I heard next to me and I looked out the window and was surprised to see Bora waving happily at me 

I got out the car and was jumped with a hug, I was surprised at first but I was glad that she was here 

"How are you?" she asked, her still in my arms 

"managing," I answered back 

Her arms fell by her side and I let her go

"I heard your conversation with your mom," and I flinched at the name she called 

"Sorry," she whispered and I smiled as I hugged her again

"Let's get out of here," I said and let go and as I was about to get in the driver's seat she grabbed my arm and shook her head. She got in instead and shook her head to the seat next to her and said," Get in,"

I just did as she said and sat in the passenger seat 

"Let's go!" she yelled happily before driving off and I turned over to her curiously

"where are we going?" 

"To your place,"

"What? Why?" 

"Cuz," was all she answered and the whole ride there we just chatted about different things and I realized how easy she was to talk to. I realized that I told her the most embarassing stories without really caring but felt a little shy when she poked fun here and there. Her laugh made me feel at ease and allowed me to forget the scene back at the station. Without realizing it, we arrived at my house  

"Let's go," she motioned as she grabbed my hands and excitedly entered the house 

She went straight to the kitchen and saw a bunch of grocery bags on the kitchen table 

"Wait wait, you came into my house?"

"Yup!"

"How?"

"Uh..."

"Bora,"

"Ok ok, I picked the lock,"

"Oh, how y," I roared as I hugged her from behind, holding her waist 

"Get off you ," and smacked my hands off and I pouted 

"I'm going to make you dinner,"

"You are doing what now?" 

"I'm making you dinner," she stated with a easy going smile 

"Now go wash up so I can cook,"

"but I want to watch you cook,"

"No, now go," she said and pushed me up the stairs before heading back to the kitchen 

I followed behind quietly and hid behind a wall admiring her. She put her hair up in a ponytail and put on an apron that was hanging on a drawer hand knob, seeing her this way only made me fall more deeper. She looked so lovely, so warm and so loving 

She proceeded to make dinner by taking out all the ingredients out of the bag and onto the table and she headed towards the sink as she washed the vegetables. She then started to cut them and just like that, I watched her cook the entire time, falling in love with her more that she's taking her time to prepare me a homemade dinner 

I headed upstairs to change and once I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror, I noticed that my eyes were red, from crying. To see someone caring for me, preparing a dinner for me was just...very heartwarming and new 

I washed my face with cold water so that my eyes wouldn't look as red and headed into my closet and changed into comfortable pair of clothes. I headed downstairs and saw her scooping some rice into the bowl and I sat down on the dinner table, dinner table that I always sat down alone on. Yoobin never ate with me because she always ate early so I always ate by myself. The feeling of just having another person eat with me at home in my kitchen with me was a never ending feeling of happiness. 

She smiled once she saw me and set the rice in front of me and I saw the fancy dinner prepared for me 

"I know it may not be the most luxurious dinner you've had but I tried," she said but I shook my head no and didn't speak as I was afraid that I would end up crying in front of her. I've had fancier dinners I admit but this dinner was better...homemade 

I picked up my spoon and dug into the rice and drank the warm soup

"Slow down, you'll choke," she said and got up to grab me a glass of water but I grabbed her wrist, preventing her from moving. I saw my tears land on the table in front of me

"H.Hoya,"

"Thank you, this is the best meal I've ever had," and she kneeled down in front of me as her eyes started to tear as well 

"Hoya, I know what it's like to feel lonely," and once she said that, the tears that I forcibly tried to hold in just...released 

"I know it's painful and cold. I know, and I know that the harder you try to hide it the more painful and colder it gets so Hoya, there is no reason to hide your pain from me. I'm here for you. I can and will be your friend, your lover, your family," and once she said family, I grabbed her and hugged her tightly 

"I'm here for you, always,"

"I love you and thank you so much Bora-yah,"

"I love you too,"
