Se-hee took a taxi and headed to Chae-yeon’s house.
Considering Si-hyeon sleeping, the two sat down at a nearby cafe. They faced each other with a square table in between.
“It’s been a while since we met in person. How have you been?”
“Yes, how was your mother?”
“It’s me, I’m always hit by work. My income has increased that much, though.”
When Se-hee smiled gracefully, Chae-yeon also said it was a good thing and smiled bashfully. And after a brief goodbye, the two were silent for a while.
wow..
Any further introduction would be a luxury. Chaeyeon said while holding her skirt tightly.
“Mother. It may be hard to believe, but what I’m going to tell you from now on is true.”
“Why would I doubt you? Even if I had a child, I wouldn’t be surprised, so speak slowly.”
At the joke to relieve Se-hee’s tension, Chae-yeon’s face turned red and then came back.
Chaeyeon, who became serious, immediately brought up the main point.
“Sihyun is being stalked.”
The mug that Sehee was holding trembled slightly. Was this the reason the son’s condition was strange?
Se-hee, noticing this, bit her lower lip.
“Since when..?”
“It’s been a while since we started vacation. Part-timers, classrooms, even home. The stalker followed and bullied Si-hyun wherever he went.”
Chaeyeon grew annoyed just by telling the truth.

But since he couldn’t show his ugliness in front of Se-hee, he managed to suppress his anger.
“It was past 3 in the morning.. Shihyeon came to our house. With a pale complexion and no shoes on, he ran barefoot. When I asked the reason, a stalker was living secretly in his house..”
bang!

Before she could finish speaking, Se-hee hit the table with her fist. Since it was on the second floor and there were few customers, there were few eyes on it.
Se-hee, who had her head bowed and clenched her fists, forcibly smiled and said after a while.
“I’m sorry, weren’t you surprised?”
“No. I understand your mother’s feelings well enough.”
It’s because he didn’t stop his murderous intentions towards Yerin even by himself.
If given a risk-free opportunity, enough to kill without hesitation.
“Whew..”
Chaeyeon adjusted her breathing to control her anger. Se-hee also brushed her hair and fanned her face with her hands.
“Did you report it to the police?”
“That’s… not yet.”
“Why. If such a thing happened, you should have reported it immediately.”
Chaeyeon nodded her head at Sehee’s questioning remarks.
“I also suggested that to Si-hyeon. But…”
Chaeyeon hesitated for a moment before continuing.
“Si-hyeon shed tears while verbally agreeing..”
“Crying tears? Why the hell…”
“It must have been painful in my heart to report the culprit.”
You mean you feel guilty about putting criminals in?
Se-hee touched her forehead with the back of her hand at her son’s incomprehensible behavior.
And I thought. If you feel guilty, it means you have a good friendship.
‘A woman who likes Si-hyeon and has a deep lover..’
After thinking about it for a moment, a candidate flashed through Se-hee’s mind.
He didn’t know that the stalker Chaeyeon was talking about was probably someone he knew.
“…that stalker. Are you talking about Yerin?”
Chaeyeon’s mouth widened.
At the same time, he closed his eyes and nodded.
“……..”
Sehee covered her mouth with both hands. After a while, the corners of his eyes became wet.
‘I hoped it wasn’t as good as that kid…’
When he found out his identity, a heart of pity rather than anger arose.
The fact that Yerin likes Sihyeon is a fact that Sehee knew deeply.
“Shut up..”
The breakdown of long-term relationships. When I remembered the heartache my son must have suffered, the tears did not stop.
Chaeyeon wiped her tears with the tissue on the tray, and Sehee said in a watery voice.
“The day Chaeyeon first talked to you. On the way home, I met Yerin by chance..”
Chaeyeon’s hand that was wiping away her tears stopped.
She put the tissue on the table and listened to Se-hee with serious eyes.
“I don’t know if that meeting was a coincidence or intentional.. Yerin wanted to have a conversation alone. Later, she asked Sihyeon to help her so that she could connect with her.”
The vibrations mixed with Se-hee’s voice gradually intensified.
“Of course I refused, but I should have noticed that it was strange from then on…!”
“Mother, don’t be too hard on yourself. It would have been impossible to find out unless no one heard it firsthand.”
“However..!”
Chaeyeon moved to the seat next to Sehee. Then he sobbed and sobbed to comfort her little by little.
After crying for a while, Se-hee calmed down. She said as she wiped the last tears with her index finger.
“Chaeyeon-ah, thank you for being honest.
“That’s right. The fact that she tries to embrace everything by herself. That’s Sihyun’s only weakness.”
“Are you familiar with it?”
When they agreed, the two were able to smile even in a gloomy atmosphere.
Se-hee, feeling better, said while stroking Chae-yeon’s hand.
“My son. At first glance, he may seem strong, but he is actually a very soft-hearted child.”
“yes.”
“No matter how bad things happen, I will not be able to shake off my compassion for Yerin. Even if I successfully send them to prison, I will live with guilt for the rest of my life.”
“It’s just like your mother said. He’s really kind like a fool…”
Thanks to that kindness, Sihyeon was able to trust and wait despite Chaeyeon’s endless abuse.
Chaeyeon kept that warmth in her heart and spat out her true feelings.
“So that’s why I really fell in love with Sihyun.”
At the same time as the brief confession, Chaeyeon’s cheeks were dyed red. Se-hee looked at the scene with interest and said.
“The men in my family, if you don’t know anything else, it means that women are really gifted.”
“Is it because your father met your mother because you were born with a woman’s fortune?”
“Sure.”
At the end of the serious atmosphere, it was warmly flowing.
As if to ignore the rising sadness, Se-hee, who was smiling excessively, embraced Chae-yeon’s arm.
“Chae Yeon-ah.”
“Yes, mother.”
“Will you take me to the place where Shihyeon is? I want to talk directly about this matter.”
Chaeyeon replied with a smile.
“Of course. Now that you’ve said it, would you like to go right away?”
“good.”
The two left the cafe and headed to the apartment complex.
Due to Chaeyeon’s reliable behavior, her mother-in-law’s favorability reached MAX.
Se-hee, who fell in love with Chae-yeon, stared at her prospective daughter-in-law as she walked.
“By the way… Chaeyeon, how did you meet Sihyun?”
“The first time we met was at university… I confessed that Sihyun fell in love at first sight.”
It was a memory that made me smile whenever I recalled it.
“Oh. So, have you been on good terms since we started dating?”
“Oh, no! I’ve had some bad things in the past… In the early days of our relationship, I couldn’t say I like you once, and I was mean every day.”
Did you two have such a past?
While Se-hee was intrigued inside, Chae-yeon said with her gaze downward.
“So, I’m always apologizing to Si-hyeon and living my life with gratitude. He’s a man who trusted and waited for me until the end.”
Se-hee felt Chae-yeon’s deep affection just by being by her side.
‘As expected.. The more I look at him, the more I like him.’
As I continued to stare, I could see Chaeyeon slowly dying.
Se-hee realizes that she cares about the past, and opens her mouth belatedly.
“No matter what the past is, you should be doing well now.”
“yes..”
“If you’re sorry for what you did wrong, you just have to work hard to repay that much. Isn’t it?”
Chaeyeon’s expression brightens more and more.
Her mother’s sincere advice was as if she had given Sohee to her.
“yes!”
***
When Chaeyeon and Sehee arrived home.
Si-hyeon, who was sleeping, unconsciously groped for the bed.
“…..?”
Where did the warmth that should be felt in the first place go?
Si-hyeon, who had just had a terrifying experience, frowned and opened her mouth.
“Chae Yeon-ah…”
With Shihyeon’s call, a warm hand touched her cheek.
It looks a little wrinkled for Chaeyeon’s hand, but there was one thing that soothed her mind and body.
‘It’s warm..’
Shihyeon’s consciousness was awakened with her eyes closed. But my mind was in a state of hazy, so I couldn’t figure out what it was.
After that, when I open my eyes slightly, I see the silhouette of a woman.
“Where have you been.. Don’t stand there, come here.”
Shihyeon pulled the hand that was touching the cheek. Then, with a short scream, the standing woman took her into her arms.

But for some reason, she, who would normally have dug into it right away, is just stuck.
profit-
A hinge sound is heard shortly after. That is, with the sound of the door opening.
“Shi, Shihyeon, what are you doing now!!”
The voice of my beloved girlfriend came from the door, not right in front of me.
‘Then who am I holding..?’
Shihyeon opened her closed eyes. Then, in a different way, he saw a mature woman lying next to him.
“Uh, Mom…”
There was blood on Se-hee’s forehead. I came here because I was worried for a long time, but how can you commit such rudeness?
At the son’s absurd behavior, the mother shouted with all her might.
“This is crazy!”
