In the car, I daydreamed of remembering Daehyun. The thing I always do, whenever I'm alone in loneliness. When Daehyun met me at the hospital last time, I immediately shed tears when I saw his handsome face carrying me. "Is it because I'm happy to see you again or is it because I'm sad, maybe it's my last meeting with you? I have absolutely no idea" I muttered with tears returning as I closed my eyes with tightness in my chest.
At the same time, Junghwa seemed restless waiting at my house to the point that Hyunwo was confused to see him. "Can't you just calm down? They were just a walk," said Hyunwo who sat while watching Junghwa pacing in front of him. "Can't! I wonder where they are going. I wonder what they did. I was also curious why Appa came here and talked to Lee's uncle and aunt in the study. Why did Seojun hyung and his eomma come too? Why is the door locked? What are they talking about? Why wasn't I told at all? Why am I waiting here?" sahut Junghwa is upset.
For Hyunwo, Junghwa's annoyance was a little unreasonable. Hyunwo assumed, Junghwa is just a child who is jealous because he did not take her away. Without Hyunwo, even Junghwa himself realized, it was possible that his anxiety was a bad omen referring to something they never expected at all because it was in that locked room, things are starting to get more complicated.
"My goal was to come here because I wanted to offer Seojun as a replacement for Daehyun to continue the engagement between the Kim family and the Lee family" Kim Youra, Seojun eomma, said, so gracefully like a respectable woman in front of my parents. "Eomma!" call Seojun can't believe hearing it. Similarly, both my parents and Lord Jeon were similarly shocked. "What are you talking about? You mean Seojun and Hana?" asked Mr Jeon Sungjin to his ex-wife.
"Yes, Seojun and Hana. What do you think?" youa said. "Eomma, why didn't eomma talk to me first?" ask Seojun slowly. "Sungjin, is this your plan?" ask my appa to Mr. Jeon. "No. I even know now," replied Mr. Jeon, "Kim Youra, can you explain this to us?" continued. "I just want to continue Kim and Lee's family relationship. Just like the reason you received Daehyun's proposal, I also want to strengthen the relationship of the two families. Ah no, but three families, Kim, Lee and Jeon! Because you know for yourself that Seojun is the eldest son in the Jeon family," Youa said.
"Again, I heard from Seojun that your rapper nephew likes your daughter too, right? Aren't you guys worried that if Hana's not engaged to another man, she's gonna come back after him?" youra replied casually. "You know, he's my son too!" sela Sungjin's. "And he's Hana's cousin! Are you gonna let them be together?" sahut Youra turned to look at my parents. "Eomma also knew Yongju liked Hana. How can eomma get me engaged to the girl my sister likes!" seojun Protest.
"Mrs Kim Youra, thank you for worrying about them. But we can make sure what you're worried about won't happen. After all, our daughter doesn't deserve that for your precious son. I guess, you already know, what your niece did to our daughter, too," said my father, trying to be humble. My Appa tried to remain calm, even though in his heart, Appa was also furious with this sudden proposal. But Appa couldn't have rejected it harshly, considering that Seojun is the son of his best friend and boss.
Not with my eomma directly saying, "I refused!" Everyone was silent to hear it. "Don't reject it outright. If you do, it hurts my heart as an eomma. Think about it first," Youra replied with a smile. "However Seojun is also your best friend's son. You know who he is, of course you also believe how your best friend educates his son, right?" he continued, making my appa unable to refute it. "Alright, give us some time to think about it. You're right, I can consider Seojun as Sungjin's son. But I can't put aside our children's feelings either! So, let them decide for themselves!" appa said firmly. "Alright, I hope, I get a good answer," Youa said with a smile before retreating.
After his eomma left the room, Seojun who felt bad about both of my parents said, "forgive me my eomma, appa, uncle and aunt Lee. I really don't know about this, but I'll try to talk to eomma." Master Jeon let out a long sigh, "Of course, can you? You won't be able to fight that eomma of yours!" he told his eldest son. "Good God, what else is this! Why would he even think of marrying you two, not even talking about it with me!" jeon Sungjin said as he stroked his forehead.
"Sorry.." said Seojun slowly. "Of course, stop apologizing. It's not your fault. Now go home with your eomma" said eomma. "Wait!" hold down Mr. Jeon, "now ask you. Answer honestly, do you like Hana too?" ask him directly to the son. "No! I just think of Hana like my sister! I'm sorry, but I really don't have that kind of feeling for Hana" Seojun replied quickly, but immediately turned polite at the thought, thinking, it's possible that her honest answer would hurt the hearts of both of my parents who also heard it. Both of my parents smiled at the honesty of Seojun who was known as the polite child. "Alright, go home first! But remember, don't tell anyone about this conversation!" said Mr. Jeon. "Good, appa. Uncle, aunt, I'll take my leave first" said Seojun.
"Your son is good. It could be a dream daughter-in-law! I'm sure you've educated him well" said my appa, smiling at his best friend's sour face. "But you also have to be sure that his eomma was educating him incorrectly!" sahut Sungjin sighed. "You yourself know how materialistic that woman is!" continue the man. "How could he think of setting up Seojun and Hana, when he knew.." said Sungjin excitedly, but stopped at the end of the sentence because it was not nice to continue in front of my parents. "His crude language, how could he give his beloved son and accept a son-in-law who had obviously just had a miscarriage after getting pregnant out of wedlock, even with his own nephew! Isn't that what you're trying to say?" connect appa-ku.
"That's not what I mean!" mr. Sungjin replied that it was not good. "It's okay. I myself am ashamed to offer my daughter to your son" he said. "Don't talk like that! If it is one of my sons, other than Yongju, someone likes your daughter, I will bless her!" said Mr. Jeon seriously. "But you heard it yourself, didn't you, if Seojun only thinks of Hana, his sister? Youra must have a plan behind this proposal! You heard it yourself, didn't you? Even he didn't talk about it first with Seojun and came straight here to propose to Hana! Who knows, even the other members of the Kim family don't know it either!" mr. Jeon is sure.
While Mr. Jeon and my parents were talking about this proposal, Seojun and his mother were also talking about it on their way to Kim Youra's house. "Shut up and just do everything that eomma says! This is the only way for you to get your own company!" youa said as she stared intently at Seojun who was trying to fight against her eomma will. "Eomma, I beg you, please understand!" whining while still focusing on driving. "Are you unable to comply with this eomma request? Eomma can't ask her son for anything!" youa said furiously.
"Eomma, stop talking about the company! I want to be a doctor, not a businessman! Appa also gave me a private hospital. Is that less?" seojun's reply began to get frustrated. "There's nothing you can give to eomma! You only received it from eomma! Can't you repay that by making eomma happy to see you become your own successor?" youra said starting to sob. "Eomma, why talk like that?" seojun said, feeling guilty seeing the tears of the mother. "You kids don't know how to thank you!" youa said as she sulked away her face. "You don't know anything about eomma's heartache!" he began to remember how he lost it all when the father of his son betrayed him.
"You never want to understand, eomma just wants to make sure you get what is really yours! If you marry Hana, even if you lose the central company, you will get the company in Korea because of the Lee family who became your father-in-law later. You can remain a doctor as you wish and you can leave the company to your confidant or Hana will be your wife!" youra said while crying. Seojun was stunned to hear the eomma's plan which he thought was too far away. "Eomma.." called Seojun in a soft voice, but Youra did not budge, just staring out the car window with her tears soaking her face.
Seojun occasionally glanced at the woman who had given birth to him, without knowing what else to say to persuade him. "Eomma.." call him again. "Just by calling him like this, why does this heart hurt like this? Eomma was right, eomma gave me everything. Eomma can't give me much more. Now it's your son's turn to give you happiness, but should this be what eomma asks you to give?" thought.
Until the car stopped in front of their house, Youra remained indifferent to the call of the son. Youra got out of the car without saying anything and went straight inside the house, leaving a fixated Seojun staring at her mother's departure from behind the car glass. "God, why do my tears fall like this? Did I hurt Eomma?" said Seojun Lirih while looking at the very valuable figure in his life. A very beautiful woman compared to anyone in the world in her eyes.
Seojun became a dilemma thinking about his eomma request. It was a very difficult thing for him to do, given the feelings of Hana, Daehyun and Yongju. But every time he remembered his eomma who often cried every time he discussed his appa company, his weak heart always felt pain. "Why is it all like this? How many times have I made eomma cry?" he nodded again, leaning his head on the steering wheel. "Do I have to betray all three?" continued Seojun while sighing that sounds resigned.

Finally, Yongju came out of the flower shop with two bouquets of flowers in her hands and finally, the sweet smile that she had been hiding from since, rose beautifully on her white face as she saw me pouting waiting for her. That adorable and incredibly sweet gummy smile that always melts my heart. "Still angry?" ask me who is standing leaning on his car. I, who did not want to dissolve in sadness to remember Daehyun, decided to get out of the car waiting for him while breathing fresh air tonight and observing the passing of people who passed this road.
Hearing that question, I was increasingly singing my lips. Because of the anxiety, the smile as sweet as sugar was widening. It even made the owner's eyes narrow while chuckling. "Oppa was just joking. Don't be upset like that!" he said as he scrambled, rattling my hair with anxiety. "Opa!" my snaps are getting pissed off. Yongju smiled gently at me. "Here, please give it to eomma!" he said, handing over one of the flowers in his hand. "For eomma?" ask me when I welcome him. "Yes. Eomma must be tired of our problems" he replied with an increasingly smaller smile.
"And this, for you!" he continued, handing over the other bouquet of flowers. I looked at the bouquet of white baby breath flowers that looked beautiful with small flowers plus the wrapper that was softpink. "Why?" tanyanya while looking at the flower. "It's nothing" I said with a small smile. "Touchable? Nay! It was just a small gift from oppa," she said changing her swag and her annoying style. My lips pout at her and make her laugh. "You're angry again? Isn't it true that it's just a small gift and nothing because all this time, oppa has given the oppa world that makes you always flowery?" he said he teased me while laughing.
"Then, thank you, Mr. Min Yongju. I will do my best to remember your kindness!" return me back to his torment. "Of course, young Miss Lee. You must remember him to death!" reply while sticking out his tongue. I smiled shyly while turning my face away from her for holding back my laughter. "Of course, let's go home. I'm hungry" I said, turning my face back.
The cup! Yongju softly kissed my forehead and made me fall silent while looking at him. "Even though you have forgotten your first love for oppa, oppa will remember it until oppa dies with all her heart because forever, hanaku will always be my only flower. So, please let me say for the last time that I love you and will always love you anyway." she said so sincerely while smiling so gently as well.
