Chapter 42: Hard Decision
Love Literally
Kourin quickly pulled away, unsure of the situation. What just happened?
"Um.."
"Rin-ah..it's me.., your omma..! I know i look like 70 years old, but it's because of this illness.. i look this old.."Her mother explained. "I have.. what do you call that..,lipo something,, lipo..lipodystrophy.., that picture... i've kept it with me all these years. I wanted to find you, but i was afraid your father wouldn't let me. I just wanted to see you. By now..your mother must be 53... right..? "
Kourin looked at her doubtfully. She didn't know whether to believe , but why would she lie? What would she gain? Only her, her own daughter. "You mean.. you're my mother? "The word coming out of Kourin's mouth seemed wierd. "My mother.. would be 53 this year.. w-why.. why should i believe you?"
"My.. birthday is 14th June. And i.. i neglected your 8th birthday.." She said guiltily."Rin-ah... isn't that what i always called you?? Rin.. now you believe me? I'm.. your mother"

"Hey...why does it seem like you keep spacing out nowadays?" Luhan asked Hyo ri one day in class. "Well.. i have some problems with my sister..."
"Your sister again?" Then Luhan frowned."You mean, Dong Gun. Why don't you just tell him to scram off? I mean, it's not like you like him back, right?"
"No.., but they're marrying,"Hyo ri sighed. "And it turned out eonnie was gona take his money and elope with another guy.. and omma can't know..I need to stop her.. mom was so happy about their marriage."
Hyo ri looked up when she thought of an idea. It was a hard one, but she had to try.
Kourin looked at her 'mother' warily.
Knowing that her, her own mother, was just standing right infront of her.. she just felt like it was all a dream. She knew she wanted to find her mother, but now that she suddenly just APPEARED infront of her..she felt lost. She didn't know what to say. She thought she would feel excited and happy. She hadn't expected this mixed feeling. She found.. her mother. But she had practically abandoned her own daughter. She felt anger rise in . How can a mother do that to her daughter?? And she thought Kourin would accept her back like that?
Kourin just stood frozen for what seemed like an eternity. Finally, she dashed out of the house, never looking back.

Luhan looked at Hyo ri angrily when she told him her plan. "Are you sure you need to do this? Is there no other way? I'm sure there'll be another way, you just need to keep thinking.." "Luhan. Stop. There's no other way.., i have to do this. I just have to make Dong Gun be the bad guy, that's all"
"But you can't tell him either, he'll think it's real! "
Hyo ri sighed. "I have no choice Luhan.., if he knows he won't help me.. you need to understand..-"
"Yea, right, i understand you need to spend more time with him. You know what? I don't care anymore. Go have fun with him for all i care" Luhan growled. "Luhan-"Hyo ri started but Luhan was already out of sight in big strides.
Hyo ri reached her home after school, surprised to see Dong Gun already in the house.
But just nice. Ti
