Yongsun was feeling mentally worn out and lacking enthusiasm regarding life.

Recently, she had been thinking a lot about her favorite aunt Seo-hyung.

The last time they saw each other was 20 years before and nobody in the family had ever explained why they acted as if the woman was dead.

However, Yongsun overheard her father and an uncle making a couple of comments extremely homophobic and misogynistic related to their sister.

The brunette took the chance to talk to her mother on a day that Mr. Kim was not home.

Mrs. Kim was in the kitchen preparing lunch when her daughter back hugged her and kissed her shoulder.

__ Hi, sweetie! What a nice surprise!

__ Omma...It's not like I never visit.__ The 29-year-old pouted.

__ I'm not complaining. Just saying.__ The older lady smiled.

__ Where is appa?

__ Drinking somewhere with your uncle.__ Mrs. Kim continued cooking.

After hesitating for a while, Yongsun questioned:

__ Omma, where is Aunt Seo-Hyung, and why nobody ever mentions her?

The chubby lady accidentally dropped the knife and her daughter could notice the shaky hands.

__ Are you alright, mom?

__ Yes, I am. About your first question, I don't know where she is. It's been 20 years since she left. But your father and the family erased her existence. You should not mention her to any of them.

Widening her eyes, the economist exclaimed;

__ Why would they kick her from the family? Just because she is a...lesbian? This is her personal issue. I don't understand, Mom. She is still one of us.

The mother was pale and she was clearly uncomfortable with that conversation.

__ Yongsun-ah, please don't mention this topic to your father. The Kims feel shame to have someone like her as a member of the family. They will never accept that kind of abnormality.

__ Mother...don't call my aunt an abnormal...

The black-haired young woman had grown surrounded by that mentality. And she might not have the best opinion regarding LGBTQIA+. Nonetheless, her aunt had been so sweet and nice to her during the 9 years they interacted. And hearing the mother say was painful.

__ Sweetie, you were just a child. Naturally, you have fond memories. But that woman threw the family name in the trash. She chose a life of sin over her own parents and siblings.__ Mrs. Kim sighed.

Yongsun shook her head and declared:

__ People make mistakes. It doesn't mean they don't deserve love. I miss her. I want to find her.

Widening her eyes, the mother begged:

__ Forget about this, child! Your father will be furious.

Exhaling, the economist said:

__ I love you, mother. But I'm tired of appa controlling my life. Everyone's lives. 

The older woman shook her head and feared that bad times were coming.

Yongsun washed her hands and decided to help her mother.

She would not change her mind. But it was better to keep the peace for the moment.

Mother and daughter had a fun day together.

Later, the economist went home and decided to search for her aunt on the most famous social media platforms.

After checking several, she found an account on Instagram, and her heart skipped a beat.

There she was in all her so
