Thirst in the middle of the night is a really disturbing thing.

Jeonghan is having a hard time choosing whether to come down or just stay in his bed and ignore the drying of his throat.

After minutes of debating with his mind he finally gave up.

He immediately head downstairs to the kitchen to have some cold water from the fridge.

As soon as he drank a glass at once, he was about to go back upstairs..

But he heard voices from outside the house's main door.

As he come closer, voices are louder than they were when he's inside the kitchen.

He immediately recognized the two voices coming from the outside.

"Lower your voice! Jeonghan might hear you--

"Let him be! If he do then he'll know that Im not his real father.. Im sick of acting like I care Jin Ah. You beg me to stay on this marriage for a long time. Did you ever think of how I am feeling? Im fed up! I want a divorce already!!"

Confused.

He open the door slightly.

"Let him be! If he do then he'll know that Im not his real father.. Im sick of acting like I care Jin Ah..."

Words he's hearing now strucks the thing that is beating so loud inside him.

Questions floods his mind.

"Yeobeo.. Don't.. Don't say t-that.. Don't leave please.. Please.. Don't."

He saw his mom crying in front of his so called father.. Begging.

It somehow breaks his heart.

Seeing the person who took care of you from the start hurting is something Jeonghan can't tolerate.

Tears started tracking down his pale cheeks.

"Im sorry Jin Ah. I don't love you anymore. I have given you enough time but I also need mine."

"No.. Please.. Im begging please.."

Down on her knees crying.. Jeonghan decided to show up.

"Eomma.. "

He whispered as he help her up from her feet on the ground.

The elder was shocked to see him.
She's been avoiding this day to happen.

Jeonghan knowing the truth.

"Han.. W-why are you still awake? You should be sleeping --

"Stop it Eomma.. Enough. I've heard enough."

He said.

Having his mom crying in his arm while the man standing in front of him is steady.

"Jeonghan. Im sorry. Maybe you heard it already. I.. I tried being a good father but.. I just can't. Not when you're not even my own."

The cold breeze of the midnight air hits his skin and his heart.

"Is that the reason why you hated me so much? Remarking all my doings and never had an eye on what Im doing just to make you proud?"

He said. Blurting out the words he only wrote to his journal where he writes all his sentimentals.

"The reason why you can't accept Me being a gay?"

"Han.. "

His mother called out.
Still sobbing.

"I'll just send the divorce paper then."

The man said leaving them embracing each other while tears streaming down on their faces.

"Han.. He's my universe and you're my world. How am I able to exist when he's gone?"

"Im still here eomma..
I'll always be."

Silence ate them.

Feeling heavy they stood up.

Jeonghan never let go of the Woman's hand.

He led her to her room and took care of her until she slept.

How he hate seeing his Mom cry.

How he hate people hurting her

How he hate his Dad-- not biologically.

He look at the ticking clock and see the time.

1:46 am.

He sighed for the nth time before kissing his mom's forehead and headed back to his room.

He closed his eyes as he lay down on his bed.
 

"You know how I hate it when you're calling me in the middle of my sleep right? Just don't do it again. I'll let this slip tonight. Bye Jeonghan-ah.."
 

He remembered Seungcheol--his boyfriend--answered when he called him few months ago in the middle of the night.

He can't sleep that night so he tried to call him.. But unfortunately that was the answer he got.

-------








 

Waking up in the morning is one of the hardest thing to do-- base on Jeonghan's opinion.

But this time, the moment he open his eyes, he immediately got up and runs to his Mom's room.

But she's not there.

He run down the salas and called for his mom.

But silence only answered him.

He looked for her on the garden
But still.. She's not there.

"Eomma.."

He get back inside the house and sit down as he felt his knees trembled.





 

"Jeonghan-ah.. Mind to help me?"

He stiffed for seconds and sighed on relief when he heard her voice.

He then came near her and smiled as if nothing happened and help her with the plastic bags of groceries she have in hands.

"How's your sleep Jeonghan-ah.."

The latter asked .

Jeonghan look at her.

"I slept well.. Eomma.."

The elder nodded and assured him she's ok.

"You're stronger than this eomma. You're a wonder woman yourself."

A tear fell from his mom's eye while smiling bitterly.

"Aigoo~ Uri Cheonsa.. Gomawo.."

 

He smiled.

He know her too well.

And he know that she'll get through it.
