I'm Just a Stranger to You
It's All Gone
Kyungsoo comes home the next day to find his parents waiting for him in the living room. He spent the night in Jongin’s place. He quietly took a step forward, hoping that his parent’s wouldn’t notice his return .
Kyungsoo’s umma looked up and found Kyungsoo just at the end of the stairway, already on his way up. She stood up and quickly went towards Kyungsoo.
“Where were you ? Why didn’t you call us ?”
Kyungsoo turned around and faced his umma. She looked pale and tired. She must’ve been waiting all night. Guilt struck him all over.

“What?”
“I said, I brought you some Kim—“
“I know what you said.” , Kyungsoo took the lunchbox and opened it, examining what was inside the container.”I’ve never heard of ‘Kimchi Spaghetti’ before“
