I paced back and forth waiting for my mother to answer the phone and while I do, I kept thinking on what excuse to say. So when she answered, I was not prepared to say the least.

"Ji? Why did you call?" Concern in her voice.

"What? A son can't call his mom?"

"No. Not when he doesn't need anything." She chuckled

"Hey! I call to ask how you are doing... sometimes." She laughed.

"So you're calling to ask me how we are?"

"Well yeah of course."

"And?" I sighed.

"What do you do to ease dysmenorrhea?" It was silent for a while so I removed my phone from my ear to check if I accidentally ended the call.

"Jiyong, is there a girl you want to introduce to us?" My eyes widened

"What? No? I'm just asking cause I want to help our staff who experiences such thing." Nice save.

"A staff?" There's a hint of doubt in her voice.

"Yes. It delays the things to be done you know? You know how I hate delays when I have a schedule to catch." I nodded proudly to myself, when dara groaned in pain. My head whipped to her face that contorted in pain and rushed to her side.

"Dee, you ok? Where does it hurt?" She mumbled out a response

"A staff that you call dee?" I bit my lips. I forgot I was speaking with my mom.

"Yeah. Dee's the name. What's up dee? You cool?" I silently face-palmed.

"Anyway, if she'd taken medicine and that does not help, you really can't do anything about it ji. Just make sure she lays down comfortably and hot compress helps too." I frowned

"Nothing else?" She chuckled

"Nothing else. That's why you need to be kind to girls young man! How many girls have been linked with you?" I groaned. And this is why I don't call her as often. She always nags at me.

"If I learn you are playing with them don't you dare step inside my house Kwon Jiyong." She scolds.

"Ma, I'm too busy to fool around." She snorted.

"You're too busy to get into serious relationships." Heol.

"Who are you and what have you done to my mother?!" I joked but she scoffed at me.

"I don't know. I don't have a son that's a womanizer. You better take care of that girl jiyong." My jaw dropped.
